In the evening, when Shen Nian came back, Xia Tian found the opportunity to tell Shen Hui about his request for help.
"Tell me, if Big Sister takes action, how confident will she be? Will it implicate her?"
Shen Nian didn’t expect his sister to actually help after hearing about this, but he had to say it was a good idea.
If they join forces with his sister to cut off the Liu family's financial support, the effect will indeed be better.
Although it won't cause Liu any serious damage, she will at least suffer some losses.
So that she wouldn't have to focus on them all day long.
"If big sister helps, then there's an 80% chance of success." Shen Nian said indifferently, "Big sister has always been very careful in her work, so she won't be implicated."
He knew his sister, and that method would be very powerful if used.
The reason why she has been able to hold the position of head of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion for so many years is not only because of the support of Ning'an Marquis' wife, but also because of her own ability.
"Well, that's good. It would be bad if we didn't get her into trouble because of our own affairs."
"Well, don't worry."
He has already sent people to investigate who has had contact with Aunt Qi's son.
Liu has been under house arrest for the past few months and has not left the house.
Then the most likely person is Chen Ke.
The government, after investigation, could not find any evidence that Manager Qi had ordered Zhang Datou and others to cause trouble at the Xiatian Restaurant, so they had to release the man after detaining him for two days.
However, Chen Nian arranged for Mu Lin to check Chen Ke's whereabouts, and indeed found that Chen Ke had contacted Manager Qi, which was considered a gain!
"Brother Shen, have you figured out what to do?" Xia Tian asked. It was not a solution if they kept being passive like this. They had to take the initiative.
"Well, since he is restless, let him not go out and just lie down at home!" Shen Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xia Tian saw that Chen Nian already had a plan, so he stopped asking questions and just told him to be careful when entering and leaving.
A few days later, Chen Ke broke his leg.
It turned out that Chen Ke and other young masters had made an appointment to go horseback riding in the suburbs. As a result, the horse lost control and Chen Ke fell off. As luck would have it, he was stepped on by the horse's hoof and his leg was broken on the spot.
When Chen Ke was carried home, Xia Tian was quite surprised. They had just discussed this for a few days, and something happened to Chen Ke. He wondered if it was Chen Nian who did it?
There was another chaos on Liu's side.
The injury was quite serious and Doctor Cao, the court physician, was helpless. Liu could only beg Marquis Wu'an to pass a sign to invite the imperial physician.
When Xia Tian arrived in a hurry, the old lady, the second lady and others had already arrived.
To show his concern, Xia Tian also waited outside the house with the old lady and others.
In the room, the imperial physician was bandaging and treating Shen Ke. Shen Ke's miserable voice could be heard everywhere, making the old lady feel distressed.
"What a sin! It's only been a short time since I was injured last time, how come I broke my leg again?
What do these people following him do for a living?
How could a healthy horse suddenly get frightened?"
Listening to the old lady's mumblings and hearing Shen Ke's pig-slaughtering screams from time to time, Xia Tian was secretly happy and thought that the voice was really beautiful!
But on the surface, he looked worried, just like everyone else.
An hour had passed by the time the imperial physician finished bandaging the wound.
Seeing the imperial physician come out, the old lady quickly asked, "Is my grandson's leg okay?"
"Madam, your fourth son's leg injury is quite serious this time. Although it has been reattached, he needs to stay in bed and rest for at least half a year.
"Especially for the first month, don't move around too much, otherwise your leg might grow crooked." The imperial physician replied truthfully, "Also, even after it heals, you still need to be more careful and try not to ride horses, run, or jump again, otherwise you'll easily break a bone again."
"Is it that serious?" the old lady asked with concern.
She thought that as long as she took care of herself, she would be fine, but she didn't expect that she might have another fracture.
"Yes, old lady, you still have to keep an eye on the young master. If he doesn't recover well and breaks his bone again, it will be difficult to fix it."
When Liu, who followed out, heard the imperial physician's words, she burst into tears. She had just arranged a marriage for her son and was planning to get him married in May next year, but she didn't expect to encounter this again.
I don’t know why her Ke’er is so unlucky. She has been injured twice in less than a year. Could she have offended some dirty creature?
After sending the imperial physician away, Liu looked at Xia Tian with suspicion. It was such a coincidence that Chen Ke fell.
I just caused trouble at her restaurant, and a few days later something happened to her son!
Could it really be this wild girl's doing?
Looking at Liu's gloomy face, Xia Tian felt happy in his heart, and did not forget to go up and finish the job, "Mom, look at this fourth brother. He is too troublesome. He has only recovered for a short time, and he broke his leg again."
When Liu heard this, her face became even uglier.
The last injury almost cost Chen Ke his life, and it took him half a year to recover.
I didn’t expect something to happen again!
Xia Tian continued, "Isn't Fourth Brother studying at the Academy? Why is he skipping classes to go horseback riding again? Mother, you have to discipline him more. Fourth Brother is not young anymore. If he continues like this, he will be ruined."
"Shut up! Xia, how can you curse your brother-in-law like this?" Liu said, unable to bear it any longer.
"Mom, how can this be a curse? I'm just concerned about my fourth brother!" Xia Tian said, as if it was all for her own good. "Besides, the imperial physician just said that if you don't take good care of your leg, you might become crippled in the future."
"You!" Liu was so angry that her breath was stuck in her chest.
Xia Tian hurried forward and helped Liu to calm her down. "Mom, don't be angry. I didn't say that."
As he spoke, he glanced at the old lady and said, "Right, Grandmother, this is what the imperial physician said. If he doesn't recover from his lame leg, he won't be able to get married."
The old lady glanced at Liu and said, "You need to keep a close eye on Ke'er. How can her body withstand such a series of injuries?"
"Also, he can't go to the academy if he stays at home to recuperate! That will delay his next imperial examination!" Xia Tian said, as if suddenly realizing something. "Mom, do you think Fourth Brother broke his leg on purpose? That way he wouldn't have to go to the academy to study."
"What are you talking about?" Liu waved away Xia Tian's hand that was helping her calm down, and pointed at her. "Tell me, was it you who harmed Ke'er?"
"Mom, I know you've never liked me, but even if you don't like me, you can't just accuse me!"
Xia Tian said aggrievedly, "Can you blame me for my fourth brother getting hurt while riding a horse? It wasn't me who made him sneak out of the academy? It wasn't me who made him ride a horse, so how can he blame me for this?"
After saying this, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Since mother doesn't like me, I'll just call you Madam from now on, so as not to offend you."
"Ever since you came to the Marquis' Mansion, our family has never had a smooth life. If it's not you who's causing trouble, who else could it be?" Liu started to vent her anger on others by talking without thinking.
Xia Tian's face darkened, "Madam, what you said is a bit outrageous. If I had that ability, why would I stay in the Marquis' Mansion?
"Why don't I just go to the street and set up a fortune-telling stall? Maybe I'll get rich by now! Or will I be schemed against again and again in the mansion?"
