Chapter 27 Let's see who he saves first in the end.
Half an hour later.
Shen Qian rushed to the other courtyard.
Hearing from Shen Yu that Yun Si had been inside for a while, he hesitated for a moment before stepping inside, only to be stopped by Shen Yu and He Jingjing.
"Brother, are you crazy?"
"Cousin, you can't go in!"
The two of them stopped them in unison.
"Didn't we agree before that if Yun Si could really cure Mother's illness, that would be wonderful? But if she really couldn't, Mother would pass the illness on to her, and she would take it back to the Xiao Prince's Mansion..."
That's quite a clever plan.
As soon as Yun Si came out of the room, she heard Shen Yu's calculating voice.
What a family of monsters and demons!
She made a slight noise under her feet, pretended not to hear anything, and walked out the door. When the three of them saw her, Shen Yu and He Jingjing subconsciously took two steps back.
Shen Qian, however, remained standing still.
His expression was unreadable, but he asked in a gentle voice, "A-Si, how is my mother's illness? Can it be cured?"
Yun Si's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then looked at Shen Yu. The two siblings seemed very nervous.
How hypocritical!
They've just dumped people in this villa and left them to fend for themselves. What are you pretending to be so arrogant about?
She sneered inwardly, but replied gently, "Don't worry, Auntie is very lucky and will be fine."
"real?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Qian's eyes, but he quickly regained his gentle expression: "Where did A Si learn her medical skills? How can you cure such difficult and complicated diseases?"
Yun Si pretended not to hear the probing and doubt in his words at all: "Have you forgotten? Three years ago, I studied medicine with a master."
"What expert? She's just a fraud. How could you believe her?"
"But I used the method she taught me to give my aunt acupuncture, and she is much better now. If nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up soon."
Just as Shen Qian was about to say something more, a violent cough suddenly came from inside the courtyard, followed by Shen's mother's weak voice: "Qian'er...is that Qian'er?"
"..."
Shen Qian's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting his mother to actually wake up.
Last night, the servant who delivered the food reported that Mother Shen had fallen into a coma and was unable to eat. Yun Si woke up in less than half an hour after she went in.
She proved with facts that Shen Qian's judgment and decision back then were wrong.
Even though there was hope for a cure for Shen's mother's illness, Shen Qian's expression didn't look any better at that moment.
"Brother, Mother is awake!"
Shen Yu was thrilled to hear her mother's voice, but none of the three of them showed any intention of going in to take a look.
He Jingjing stared at Yun Si with a cold look in her eyes, her fingers clenching tightly.
"Mother, please take good care of yourself. Once you've recovered a bit in a few days, we'll bring you back to the manor immediately."
Shen Yu spoke loudly from outside, while Shen Qian remained silent throughout.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Yun Si held a hint of melancholy.
"A-Si, you've worked hard. Now come with us back to the Shen residence to rest. I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare a lot of your favorite dishes. Would you like to stay at the Shen residence tonight?"
Shen Qian's voice remained gentle, but it wasn't asking Yun Si for her opinion.
Based on past practice, it's likely that Yun Si wouldn't refuse.
Yun Si smiled gently: "Maybe not."
She gently smoothed away non-existent wrinkles on her sleeves, her voice as soft as a feather's whisper: "If I don't go back, I'm worried..."
Before Yun Si could finish speaking, Shen Qian's eyes darkened, and he almost lost his composure.
He Jingjing couldn't help but shriek, "Yun Si! My cousin kindly asked you to stay, what kind of attitude is this?"
"Jingjing!" Shen Qian scolded softly, then turned to Yun Si with a gentle smile: "A-Si, what are you worried about?"
He stepped forward and said softly, "There are still some details I want to ask about Mother's illness. You can come back to the Shen residence with me first. If it's not possible, I'll take you back later."
Looking at the face that she had once trusted so deeply, Yun Si now felt nauseous.
She turned slightly to avoid Shen Qian's approaching breath, as if she hesitated for a moment before finally giving in: "Alright, then I'll go with you and tell you in detail about your aunt's illness."
"A-Si, you are so kind."
Shen Qian stepped forward to take Yun Si's hand, but Yun Si walked towards Lu Yu who was standing to the side.
She whispered to Lu Yu, "Go back first and help me keep His Highness calm. I'll try to get back before he comes looking for me. If I don't make it in time, then it's up to you and Lan Xin to handle things as you see fit. I only have one request: don't make him too angry."
That man is really hard to please.
Lu Yu looked worried and troubled: "Master, what are you going to do? This servant wants to go with you."
"No need, don't worry, just do the task I've given you."
After Yun Si finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the Shen family's carriage.
The group, each with their own thoughts, boarded the carriage.
Shen Qian rode alone, walking in front of the carriage.
An eerie silence filled the carriage throughout the journey.
He Jingjing would occasionally glance at Yun Si with resentful eyes, while Shen Yu kept her head down, lost in thought.
Yun Si looked out the window at the street.
This trip to the Shen family is destined to be anything but peaceful.
She touched the poisoned needles in her sleeve and the poisons scattered all over her body, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
soon.
The carriage arrived at Shenfu.
Yun Si stepped down from the carriage. Shen Yu was very cold to Yun Si. After getting off the carriage, she didn't even glance at her and went straight into the mansion.
She used to be jealous of Yun Si, but now, what is there for her to be jealous of in a fallen heiress who is also an abandoned woman?
My previous visit to her was merely a final effort for my mother's sake.
She hadn't had much hope, but the result surprised her greatly.
I'm a sickly person myself, but I never expected to learn this skill.
I just don't know if she can cure her own illness.
Shen Yu doesn't take Yun Si seriously at all now. If Yun Si's medical skills were really that good, she would have healed herself long ago, instead of being in this half-dead state.
"A-Si, let me take you to rest first."
Shen Qian led Yun Si towards the side courtyard, with He Jingjing following behind them, staring at Yun Si's back with intense hatred in her eyes.
Seeing her cousin showering Yun Si with care and concern, she was on the verge of a breakdown.
and……
He Jingjing reached out and touched her abdomen.
She can wait, but her belly can't!
When Shen Qian turned around, he noticed He Jingjing following behind them. His eyes turned cold, and he gave her a warning look, signaling her to leave quickly.
He Jingjing looked aggrieved, but dared not disobey Shen Qian's wishes.
As she watched them walk further and further away, her mind was filled with uncontrollable wild thoughts.
A lone man and a lone woman.
What will they do?
That vixen Yun Si, now that Prince Xiao doesn't want her anymore, she'll definitely take the opportunity to seduce my cousin.
He Jingjing became increasingly uneasy as she thought about it. Just then, Yun Si suddenly turned around and gave her a provocative smile.
You bitch!
You bitch!
He Jingjing's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.
She was certain that this bitch would really seduce her cousin.
no!
He Jingjing couldn't calm down at this moment; she had to do something to stop them.
Shen Qian and Yun Si's figures walked away completely and disappeared from He Jingjing's sight, but He Jingjing still stood in the same place, not leaving for a long time.
"Ah Qian".
The two walked side by side when Yun Si suddenly asked, "Why do I feel like there's something strange about the way your cousin looks at you?"
"How could that be?"
Shen Qian's expression changed almost imperceptibly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "My cousin grew up in the Shen family and is no different from my own sister. You know that, so what are you thinking?"
"All right."
As always, Yun Si believed whatever he said.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel like my cousin's gaze towards you is strange, and her gaze towards me is strange too."
"I think you're just too tired."
When they reached the room door, he pushed it open and said, "Rest well. I'll call you when the food is ready."
Yun Si smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Yun Si so obedient, Shen Qian's heart softened slightly.
Tonight, we must keep her at the Shen residence no matter what, and cut off any thought she might have of returning to the Xiao Prince's residence.
After Shen Qian left, Yun Si closed the door, her smile vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
Since we can't touch Shen Qian for the time being, let's start with He Jingjing.
Yun Si locked the door, lay down on the couch, and closed her eyes to rest.
Sure enough, not long after, there was a noise coming from the doorway.
Smoke drifted in through the crack in the door.
Yun Si covered her mouth and nose, but still inhaled a little.
This taste isn't from an aphrodisiac.
It's a drug.
Therefore, the person outside the door should not be Shen Qian or Shen Yu, but He Jingjing.
They arrived quite quickly.
Are you so eager to die?
Yun Si closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.
He Jingjing slowly pried open the door latch with a dagger outside the door, and the next moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The sound of two or three people's footsteps came together.
"Take her away."
He Jingjing ordered in a cold voice, "Be careful, don't let anyone see you. Take it to the lotus pond in the back garden."
"Yes, Miss."
Yun Si was carried by two maids and taken to a pavilion on the water in the back garden.
"Miss, should we just throw it down?"
"No rush, wait until she wakes up."
It's no fun just throwing them down and letting them die silently.
He Jingjing stared at Yun Si's foxy face, her eyes seemingly filled with venom: "Give me the knife, I want to ruin her face first."
"Miss, didn't you say you just wanted to throw her into the lotus pond to teach her a lesson?"
One of the maids, upon hearing that she was going to disfigure Yun Si's face, showed a hint of worry.
If the young master knew this, Miss Biao might only get a few scoldings, but the servants wouldn't be so lucky.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the knife!"
He Jingjing's face was contorted with rage, and the maid, frightened, had no choice but to give her the dagger.
Just as He Jingjing took the dagger, Yun Si suddenly woke up.
Upon seeing the situation before her, Yun Si shrank back in fear: "Miss He, what are you going to do?"
Her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with tears, making her look pitiful.
Seeing her like this, He Jingjing's face immediately lit up with a smug smile: "What? Now you know fear? Weren't you so arrogant just now?"
She brandished the dagger in front of Yun Si, the tip gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Yun Si bit her lip, tears streaming down her cheeks: "I...I don't know where I offended Miss He."
"Your living is an insult to me!"
He Jingjing said fiercely, "My cousin can only be mine!"
Anyway, this bitch is going to die soon, so she's not afraid of being exposed.
Then just say that this bitch accidentally fell down, and my cousin definitely won't blame her.
Yun Si feigned sudden realization and timidly said, "So... so Miss He also likes Aqian."
She weakly retorted, "But... Ah Qian said he only likes me."
"You're talking nonsense!"
He Jingjing suddenly raised her voice, startling the two maids.
"Don't believe me?... We can try it if you don't believe me."
Yun Si lowered her voice and whispered in He Jingjing's ear, "Have someone call Aqian over. We'll jump into the water at the same time and see who he saves first."
