Having spent so many years in the backyard, Qian Shi could actually see some things after what had just happened. For example, it seemed that all of them had been led by the nose by Shen Yunxi.
Previously, Shen Leyi appeared to have a good relationship with Shen Yunxi, which she certainly understood. In fact, she had even taught Shen Leyi to do so, all in order to gain something from Shen Yunxi and hoping that Shen Leyi could gain the Empress Dowager's favor through her relationship with Shen Yunxi.
But ever since Shen Yunxi returned from Yanshan Tang, her personality seems to have changed, and she doesn't seem quite the same as before.
Connecting all the dots, Qian finally realized something was wrong.
All of this seemed to be under Shen Yunxi's control. She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, as if she had come to know a different Shen Yunxi, one who was completely different from the one she knew before.
That's why she asked directly.
Shen Yunxi remained expressionless. Since she hadn't hidden anything, she wasn't worried that Qian Shi would see through her, but she also wouldn't admit it directly.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, Third Aunt. What good will Fourth Sister's accident do me? My marriage has never been my grandmother's or Third Aunt's business, so what Fourth Sister does has nothing to do with me. Besides, Fourth Sister framed me but ended up being framed herself. Isn't she reaping what she sowed? Third Aunt, many times, what people do is seen by Heaven. It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet. Now, it's time for retribution to come. I believe Third Aunt understands what Xiao Liu is trying to say, right?" Shen Yunxi said with a smile.
Madam Qian glared angrily at Shen Yunxi. She knew that this wretched girl had deliberately plotted to frame Shen Leyi, but she had no evidence.
Perhaps it should be said that Shen Yunxi knew about Shen Leyi's scheme first, so she turned the tables on her and ended up getting into trouble for Shen Leyi.
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became, and cold sweat broke out on Qian's back.
Now it seems that we really can't treat Shen Yunxi the same way as before. This brat has really changed her personality and become much harder to deal with. It's as if she's a completely different person.
"Sixth Brother, your Third Aunt has something else to do, so I won't talk to you any longer. I'll go back and get busy. You should go back and rest too," Madam Qian quickly said.
If it were any other day, she would have definitely said a few words to Shen Yunxi. Everyone could see that she was deliberately staying here just to watch the show.
Perhaps someone informed her of He Zheng's arrival, which is why she came so promptly.
But Shen Yunxi's actions today had given her too much of a shock, so she couldn't care less about anything else. Now she just wanted to go back and think about it as soon as possible to see which link had gone wrong. She even wanted to conspire with the second wife.
"Take care, Third Aunt. I won't see you off." Shen Yunxi said with a smile.
Madam Qian practically fled in panic. It has to be said that her cowardly nature and tendency to bully the weak were quite frightened by Shen Yunxi. In any case, she should be more careful when plotting against Shen Yunxi in the future, as this girl is not so easy to deal with.
Watching Qian Shi's departing figure, Shen Yunxi's smile remained unsuppressed. She stared at Qian Shi's back and spoke softly.
"Tsk, why does Third Aunt look so afraid of me? I clearly didn't do anything!"
Cai'er and Zhizhi exchanged a glance and then burst out laughing. It was truly a great thing that their young lady was so cheerful these days.
“Miss is right, Miss did nothing,” Zhizhi said playfully.
Shen Yunxi coughed lightly, "Alright, let's go back too. I'll go visit my sister later. I don't know how much she's suffering after all that shock. She doesn't have anyone she can confide in at the Jiang family. I'm worried about her."
Of course, it wasn't that she was worried Shen Qiuyan would do something rash, but she understood that kind of pain.
Shen Qiuyan is a hurdle that must be overcome, otherwise neither she nor Jiang Ying will have a good ending. Shen Yunxi can't help in other ways, but she can still offer a few words of comfort.
Unfortunately, Shen Yunxi's plan to visit Jiang Ying was put on hold because someone from the palace came and said that the Empress Dowager had fallen ill.
Shen Yunxi was quite surprised by this.
After all, the Empress Dowager was in good health at this time in her previous life and had no problems at all. How could she suddenly fall ill now?
Regardless of the circumstances, the Empress Dowager treated her so well, almost like her own daughter. Therefore, when she fell ill, Shen Yunxi naturally couldn't stand idly by and had to go see her to put her mind at ease.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Shen Yunxi boarded the carriage to the palace, which sped towards the imperial palace.
In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager lay on a soft couch. Although it was summer, she was still covered with a thin blanket. She looked completely weak and sickly, and indeed appeared to be ill.
Jun-hyun sat on a chair beside the soft couch, listening to Physician Hong's reply.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager was probably suffering from some heatstroke. She should have recovered by cooling down, but she caught a cold late at night due to the heavy dew. She was a little anxious when she got up this morning, which is why she fainted. Your Majesty need not worry, the Empress Dowager will recover soon. However, she should eat light meals for the next few days. It is a bit muggy today, and there will likely be heavy rain. Therefore, while ventilating the bedchamber, we must also be careful to prevent the Empress Dowager from catching a cold again."
Physician Hong noticed that she had been coming to see the important person quite often lately, and each time it just so happened that he happened to be on duty. He didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky.
"Yes, I understand." Junxuan looked at Granny Tian and Xiao Anzi beside him. "But after hearing what Physician Hong said, remember to take good care of her and don't let the Empress Dowager's condition worsen."
"Your servants obey your command," Granny Tian and Xiao Anzi said in unison.
Physician Hong prescribed a medicine and then left Cining Palace, only to unexpectedly run into Shen Yunxi.
"So it's Physician Hong who's come to examine Your Highness. I wonder how Your Highness is feeling now?" Shen Yunxi asked with some concern.
Although I knew the Empress Dowager was not in any immediate danger, I was still a little worried because of her poor health. Since I happened to run into Physician Hong, I thought it best to ask her.
Physician Hong smiled gently, "Miss Chen, there's no need to worry. Her Majesty's health is not seriously affected. She just needs to rest and recuperate for a few days."
Shen Yunxi nodded slightly, "Thank you, Physician Hong. I'll go see Her Majesty now. Farewell."
"Miss Shen, please take care." Physician Hong also turned and left.
Shen Yunxi had gotten used to staying in Cining Palace, so she didn't need to announce her arrival. It was also the Empress Dowager's intention. When she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she went straight in without thinking much.
"Your Majesty, are you still feeling unwell?" Shen Yunxi asked as she walked.
Even though she knew from Physician Hong that the Empress Dowager's health was alright, she was still worried and always needed to see her in person to feel at ease.
Unexpectedly, a bright yellow figure caught their eye first.
