Now that Shen Lijun has caused trouble, Cheng Xiumei will certainly have to be punished now, but it is still much better than the punishment and conscience condemnation that Brother Gui will suffer if she is gone.

Cheng Xiumei hurriedly knelt down and carefully explained: "That day was just a quarrel between a few of their children. There were many people and many hands, and the incident of Brother Gui falling into the water was caused by not paying attention. Afterwards, it was found out that Brother Gui accidentally fell. I got into the water. I looked fine at the time, so I didn't report it to you. Although I suffered some colds later, the doctor said it was not a precaution and I had to take good care of myself. My sister-in-law probably felt sorry for her, so she volunteered to help take care of her. , but my daughter-in-law did not dare to let it go, and still handed over all the precious medicinal materials every day."

Mrs. Shen didn't wait for Cheng Xiumei to finish speaking, and already sneered: "You are a good person, and you can smooth things over. What is the situation between the boss and Li'er's family now? You can't guess? You will coax me here, that's all. , please hand over the matter at hand to the person in charge first, then go back to the hospital to think about it, and think carefully about where you went wrong."

Cheng Xiumei hurriedly agreed in a low voice, and kowtowed to Mrs. Shen solemnly before she dared to stand up. When she was about to leave, she heard the servants saying back and forth: "The eldest young lady and Miss Zhen are returning home. Already."

Mrs. Shen sneered and said, "It's just the right time to come back. Let her come and see me."

Over there, Sister-in-law Shen said goodbye to the people in the palace, and was about to go back to her courtyard to change out of her imperial attire, and then go to greet her mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law ordered someone to call her. She felt a little strange in her heart, so she took the Ask the person who sent the message.

Unexpectedly, the girl who sent the message was also tight-lipped, so she only said that she had received the order from inside. She didn't know what was going on inside.

Sister-in-law Shen naturally didn't believe it. Seeing that girl acting like this, she had a bad feeling in her heart. She was afraid that something must have happened in the house during the past few days.

Sister-in-law Shen did not dare to delay and hurried to the main courtyard with Sister Zhen. Suddenly, she saw several servants kneeling in the courtyard. Sister-in-law Shen took a closer look. Suddenly, she felt a sudden shock in her heart and her scalp felt tight. , knew that something was not going well, but her mother-in-law had orders, so she did not dare to run away midway. Moreover, at this time, the girl and mother-in-law had already seen it. She spread the word: "The young lady is here."

Sister-in-law Shen had no choice but to walk into the room. Sure enough, she saw Mrs. Shen sitting on the couch with an angry face. Next to her stood Shen Lijun and Sister Lan, whose eyes were red from crying. Her sister-in-law Cheng Xiumei stood with her head hanging down. In the next chapter, judging from her appearance, she must have betrayed herself.

At this point, Sister-in-law Shen had no way out. She had no choice but to take a deep breath, walk into the room, with a smile on her face, stepped forward and saluted, "My daughter-in-law has met her mother."

Mrs. Shen looked at Sister-in-law Shen coldly, until Mrs. Shen's smile froze and sweat dripped from her forehead. Then Mrs. Shen pointed at Sister-in-law Shen and said angrily: "You can still laugh after doing such a vicious and life-threatening thing? "

Sister-in-law Shen naturally refused to recognize her at this time and said: "Where did mother start talking about this?"

Mrs. Shen was even more angry: "You are still pretending to be stupid here. What have you done? Do you need me to elaborate? I really didn't expect you to be such a vicious-hearted woman. If anyone offends you, you will directly attack It's up to whoever gets the attack, it's considered a grudge, how could you do it to the innocent Brother Gui?"

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Shen still refused to admit her death and said: "Shen Lijun caused my son to be unable to inherit the position of Duke. Naturally, I was not angry in my heart, but I never dealt with her. As for Brother Gui, his body is not good enough." It's just a weak thing. Now that it's not good, it's none of my business. But I spent so much time asking for medical treatment and buying medicine, and it's still hard work without any credit. How could my mother just listen to one side of the story and label me a murderer?"

When Shen Lijun and her daughter saw Sister-in-law Shen's rogue look, they wanted to rush forward and take a bite of her flesh.

Mrs. Shen snorted coldly: "Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, do you still want to make excuses?"

At this time, the people below said back and forth: "The imperial doctor is here."

Mrs. Shen shouted to Sister-in-law Shen: "Kneel down here, I will come to interrogate you later." Then she said to Cheng Xiumei: "What are you doing here, why don't you go back and think about your mistakes."

After that, Mrs. Shen took Shen Lijun, mother and son to pick up the imperial doctor, and went together to diagnose and treat Brother Gui.

When the imperial doctor saw Brother Gui's face was as white as paper and he looked groggy, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He went up and took his pulse carefully. After looking at the prescriptions prescribed by the first two doctors, he wanted to look at the leftover medicine residue.

It is said that Sister-in-law Shen was also worried about being caught, and ordered people to dump the dregs of the medicine in time. However, later Shen Lijun and her son became suspicious, so they thought of a way to secretly keep it. At this time, they were busy in the inner room. Taken it out.

Mrs. Shen did not expect that the virtuous princess and the princess, who were so glorious back then, would now be forced into such a situation by the eldest daughter-in-law. She could not help but feel sour and jealous, and she hated Mrs. Shen even more.

The imperial doctor carefully examined the residue of the medicine and understood in his heart. Then he looked at the anxious expressions of Mrs. Shen and others. After thinking carefully, he asked Shen Lijun and others a few more words, and then he handed over his hands and said to everyone: "The young master is born. I am timid, but as long as I take good care of myself, it doesn't matter. Although I occasionally felt cold some time ago, although the prescriptions prescribed by the two doctors were not too clever, they made me feel better. After taking care of myself for a few days, I should be fine, but now I am not. It became more and more powerful, and it was really confusing. Just now, the official took a closer look at the dregs of the medicine, and then he realized that he was afraid that the house had been deceived by the heartless doctor. Some of the rare medicinal materials in the prescription were either not included or were not included. It was replaced with a defective product with little efficacy, so it was wasted for so long."

Hearing this, Shen Lijun hurriedly said: "Please do your best to help with the treatment. I will thank you again in the future."

The imperial doctor said with a troubled expression: "A doctor has a parent-like heart, so of course I will do my best. However, the young master's body has become seriously ill now. I can only do my best, but I can't guarantee..."

Shen Lijun felt cold all over after hearing this, and Mrs. Shen also said anxiously: "Although his body is weak, he is still a young man and is very energetic. But if he lies in bed for a longer time, his life should not be affected."

The imperial doctor did not say anything. He just sat down at the table and dipped his pen in ink to write a few words, handed it to the Shen family, and said: "There are some usable medicines brought by the official, and they are all of the highest quality. I hope there are a few others." Madam, please be careful and don't let that bad pharmacist fool you again."

After saying that, the imperial doctor handed over his words and Mrs. Shen also felt cold. She knew that Brother Gui's body was probably really broken, and it was useless to bother the imperial doctor here. She had to order him to be delivered alive and thanked him: "Thank you." I forget how much you can do."

The imperial doctor hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, you should take this medicine for two days. I will come back for a follow-up consultation and then consider the medicine."

Here, Shen Lijun understood that her son was not a long-lived person, so she felt her eyes darken. Fortunately, Sister Lan supported her. Shen Lijun calmed down and walked into the inner room to see her son, supported by her daughter.

Although Brother Gui didn't know what the situation was outside, he knew in his heart that his health would not be well for a while, so he forced a smile to comfort his mother and said: "I feel much lighter these days, and now I have invited the imperial doctor to come. , plus the good medicine from the Tai Hospital, I can't stand up and get out of bed in a few days, and my mother won't have to worry about me."

Seeing that her son was so sensible, Shen Lijun felt even more sad. She had to suppress her tears and said with a smile: "My son is a blessed person. This little thing doesn't matter. He will be fine."

Mrs. Shen listened outside and became even more angry with Mrs. Shen. She did not enter the inner room and went directly back to her courtyard.

Sister Zhen over there also knew her mother's actions. She also felt that her mother was too cruel. But after all, she was her biological mother, so she was naturally closer to her than her aunt and cousin, whom she had never met at that time. Thinking of her deeds at this time I was even more worried about the impact of the revelation on my mother.

Sister Zhen said: "I don't know what's going on over there. I just hope he's okay. Otherwise, I'm afraid my grandmother and the others won't let it go. In fact, why should my mother deal with them like this? They are just lost dogs. If we really treat them as opponents, it's okay." Lift them up."

Sister-in-law Shen sneered: "They made your brother unable to inherit the title, but I live a leisurely and contented life relying on the big tree of Yongning Marquis Mansion. How can I bear this tone?"

For a moment, he sighed: "You are young after all, and you can't think of some things. If your brother cannot inherit the title, I'm afraid your life will be difficult in the future. How can your grandmother not take your second aunt and me in her eyes like this? She wants to fight." What I want to scold is not because our natal family is weak, but because your sister married into the Shi family. Although she is not a clan wife, she is just a daughter-in-law. But who in the Shi family dares to look down on her? The emperor's favorite, Yongninghoufu, is the eldest granddaughter of Yongninghou. Now she has the support of your grandparents. In the future, when we all go there, you will have to rely on your second uncle's family, and I don't know if they are willing to let you rely on them. "

Sister Zhen blushed and said, "Then my daughter will never marry, let's see who can bully me." Then she sighed and said, "I'm afraid this will not be a good thing."

Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly comforted her daughter and said: "Don't worry, brother Gui is no longer a nobleman of the royal family. He just has a humble life. Maybe the emperor wishes that he would leave early, so as not to cut the grass without eradicating the root and leaving behind future troubles. Besides, he is now Live well, after all, I am also a concubine conferred by the imperial court, what can your grandmother do to me."

The mother and daughter were comforting each other. Mrs. Shen had already brought someone in. Seeing Sister-in-law Shen still kneeling there, she did not look at her. She just coldly ordered the servants: "Invite the young lady to the ancestral hall and wait. The Marquis and the eldest son will come back at night to make a final decision."

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Shen felt unsure, and Sister Zhen also felt bad. Mrs. Shen was so angry that her heart ached, and she was too lazy to say anything more. Suddenly, Sister Zhen was invited back to her room, and Sister-in-law Shen was taken to the ancestral hall.
