Seeing Song Zhiyu gazing thoughtfully at the passersby downstairs, Shen Yanxi walked straight to her side and said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you."
“If it’s about the Chu family, then you can shut up.” Song Zhiyu spoke first to state her position. Since she had already promised Grand Tutor Chu to cure Chu Sangyue’s illness, she would not go back on her word.
Since Shen Feng couldn't find a solution, he decided to try his luck with her, but he had to see if she would agree.
Shen Yanxi took a deep breath, the words stuck in his throat, "Miss Liangyue became famous at a young age, and her medical skills are better than yours."
Moreover, she herself said that if she were to intervene, she had nearly a 70% chance of curing Chu Sangyue. What about you, what are your chances?
Song Zhiyu didn't speak, and her expression didn't even change, as if Shen Yanxi's words had no effect on her.
"You are also aware of the current relationship between the Marquis's Mansion and the Chu family. Because of Chu Sangyue, Grand Tutor Chu has repeatedly targeted your father, making it difficult for him to move forward in the court."
Not long ago, Shen Rushan was demoted. Now, the only way to solve the current problem is to cure Chu Sangyue.
Shen Yanxi thought that Song Zhiyu couldn't accept that his medical skills were inferior to Liangyue's, which was why he repeatedly refused to let her treat Chu Sangyue.
But now is clearly not the time for the two to compete; the careers of their father and Shen Rushan are more important.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Song Zhiyu asked directly, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, her tone tinged with impatience.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanxi was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have never seen such an impatient expression on Song Zhiyu's face before.
In the past, even though she was younger than him, she was always tolerant and gentle, while he was clearly the one being taken care of by Song Zhiyu.
Even after Song Zhiyu's personality changed drastically and she would attack him at the slightest disagreement, she never showed such impatience, as if looking at him or listening to her say a word was torture.
Shen Yanxi straightened his expression. "Currently, you are treating Chu Sangyue. As long as you explain the situation to Grand Tutor Chu and let Miss Liangyue take over your treatment, all the difficulties facing the Marquis's mansion can be easily resolved. You are also a daughter of the Marquis's mansion, and the downfall of the Marquis's mansion will not benefit you at all."
His tone was extremely confident, clearly indicating that he trusted the so-called Liangyue girl very much.
The eldest brother has regained feeling in his legs, and it is believed that he will be able to stand up completely soon. The treatment is quite effective, which is why Shen Yanxi trusts Liang Yue so much.
Shen Yanxi said shamelessly, "Moreover, this matter was caused by you. Letting Miss Liangyue take over the treatment of Chu Sangyue can be considered your compensation to your father and Rushan."
"Compensation? Did I tell Shen Rushan to condone Ye Ming's actions to harm people, or did I force Lord Shen to be tied to Shen Rushan? One can be shameless, but not to this extent."
Song Zhiyu sneered, her questions delivered with overwhelming force, and her last sentence left Shen Yanxi with absolutely no face.
Shen Yanxi choked, and said dryly, "If you hadn't dragged Shen Rushan into this in front of everyone, how could the Marquis's mansion have been implicated?"
He knew that the fault didn't lie entirely with Song Zhiyu, so he proposed the best solution, but Song Zhiyu refused to agree no matter what.
"What if she can't be cured? Will you bear the wrath of Grand Tutor Chu?" Song Zhiyu finally gave Shen Yanxi a proper look, and her incisive question left him speechless for a moment.
Shen Yanxi never even considered that Liang Yue wouldn't be able to cure Chu Sangyue.
"No need to say anything more. If you really want Liangyue to replace me, then you'd better find a way to get Grand Tutor Chu to agree." Song Zhiyu waved her hand impatiently, and a wisp of white powder drifted into Shen Yanxi's nose on the breeze.
If it weren't for waiting for someone, she wouldn't have come here to listen to Shen Yanxi say such disgusting things.
"Waaah!" Shen Yanxi wanted to retort a few more times, but was horrified to find that she couldn't make a sound.
Recalling the delicate fragrance he had just smelled, Shen Yanxi glared angrily at Song Zhiyu; she had poisoned him again.
"If you bother me again next time, it won't just be a matter of losing your voice." Song Zhiyu warned gently with a smile on her lips, but the ruthlessness in her eyes was chilling.
Shen Jinhua frowned slightly, and just as she opened her mouth, she said, "Second sister, you..."
"Would you like to try the power of the Voice-Loss Powder?" Song Zhiyu shook the white porcelain bottle in her hand, smiling.
Shen Jinshu paused slightly, somewhat wary of the medicinal powder in Song Zhiyu's hand.
The Qin siblings, who were not far away, shuddered at the sight of Song Zhiyu's ferocious appearance. No one had ever told them that Song Zhiyu was this kind of person.
He's quick to poison people at the drop of a hat, using some weird, inexplicable poison that causes loss of voice. After he gets married, will he even have a good life?
Qin Xu's thoughts had already drifted far away. Before anything was even settled, he was already thinking about life after the wedding, and there was no longer any contempt in his eyes when he looked at Song Zhiyu.
What if Song Zhiyu gets upset and poisons him to death?
For a moment, the large private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Shen Jinshu frowned, deep in thought, seemingly plotting something. Shen Yanxi clutched his throat, glaring fiercely at Song Zhiyu, wanting to curse but unable to utter a single word.
Song Zhiyu paid no attention to the two of them, but quietly stared at the jade pendant at her waist.
If nothing unexpected happens, the imperial army should have arrived in Qingzhou two days ago.
She figured she would be able to see her third brother soon.
Thinking of this, Song Zhiyu's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile, and his face showed obvious pleasure.
Shen Yanxi, who had been keeping a close eye on Song Zhiyu, was taken aback by Song Zhiyu's smug expression and became somewhat dazed.
It had been so long since he had seen Song Zhiyu with such a gentle and harmless demeanor. Ever since the incident of Shu'er falling into the water, Song Zhiyu had always been prickly, whether towards him or anyone else in the Marquis's mansion.
They're quick to make sarcastic remarks, and when they're not talking, they resort to violence; poisoning is commonplace for them.
He learned many lessons from Song Zhiyu. The most common way he saw her was with a cold face mocking him, completely lacking the warmth that should exist between ordinary siblings.
No, it's not that there wasn't any, it's just that Song Zhiyu's tenderness wasn't directed at him.
Shen Yanxi was lost in his thoughts until a series of piercing screams came from downstairs, pulling him back to his senses.
The once quiet street was now crowded with people, especially women dressed in colorful clothes. Each of them held a sachet or a handkerchief they had embroidered themselves, and their watery eyes sparkled with anticipation and reverence.
"I heard that General Su returned to the capital in triumph today, and His Majesty held a grand welcome banquet for him in the palace."
"My father told me that General Su has repeatedly distinguished himself in battle in the northern border, defeating the State of Lin. Upon his return to the capital, he will surely be promoted and have a bright future."
More importantly, he was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also incomparably handsome, and at twenty-three years old, he was still unmarried.
"..."
Hearing these comments, Song Zhiyu's smile widened. Third Brother was indeed a prodigy; he had already attracted a large number of girls even before he appeared.
