In the afternoon, the sun is just right.

Jiang Xuening took out the Qibai paste that she had prepared according to ancient recipes a few days ago. The paste was beautifully shaped.

Qing He said excitedly, "Miss, lie down quickly. I'll make some for you to apply on."

Jiang Xuening was half lying down on the chair. Qinghe used clean mountain spring water to make the paste sticky and applied it to her face.

Leave it on for more than ten minutes and then wash it off. It has the effect of whitening and making the skin delicate.

Jiang Xuening closed her eyes and said, "Divide the rouge and lip balm I have newly prepared. Remember to tell me how you feel after using them."

Qinghe and several maids quickly divided up the things while laughing and joking.

"The color looks no worse than the ones sold outside, and it smells great."

"Miss, I will use it tomorrow."

"You can save money on rouge this month."

This was her hobby in the past when she was in the boudoir, mixing perfume and making butter, making tea and playing the piano.

Jiang Xuening was thinking that she could open a rouge and gouache shop, which would also be considered a fortune.

On the outside, she looks like she is surrounded by flowers, but on the inside, she is cash-strapped.

To make things happen, money is very important.

While it was busy, Concubine Zuo hurried over and was startled by the green face she wiped. She covered her chest and said angrily, "You are quite leisurely and elegant."

Jiang Xuening became familiar with her and knew her character. Not angry, "How come the concubine has time to come to my place?"

Concubine Zuo was originally very anxious, but when she saw her like this, she suddenly lost her urgency and said as if watching a good show, "Is someone from the Shen family here?"

Jiang Xuening motioned to Qinghe to get water to wash her face, and said coolly, "Come here and fight me?"

"That's not true." Concubine Zuo sat down and said slowly, "I've come here to plead guilty, and I'm kneeling in front of the gate. You'd better go and take a look."

Jiang Xuening was not in a hurry. She washed her face and then led the people outside.

Concubine Zuo used to have a lively personality, but after marrying into the palace, her life was uneventful and lifeless.

Of course she wouldn't miss such a lively event.

She and Jiang Xuening walked side by side, "Fourth Young Master Shen is quite tolerant. It has only been seven or eight days, and he actually got out of bed."

Jiang Xuening did not answer. The Shen family's move was indeed unexpected. She thought the Shen family was going to confront her head-on, but she didn't expect to give in so quickly.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Concubine, please ask the imperial doctor to come out." Jiang Xuening said solemnly, "If the Fourth Young Master kneels and dies in front of the palace gate, it will be a great injustice to me."

Concubine Zuo immediately understood the stakes and ordered people to immediately ask the imperial doctor who was enshrined in the mansion.

There was already a circle of people surrounding the gate of the palace.

As soon as Jiang Xuening appeared, the housekeeper seemed to have seen a savior, "Princess, you are finally here."

Jiang Xuening walked out and saw Shen Tingsi kneeling at the door.

He was carrying three thorns on his back and was kneeling there holding his stomach, looking very weak.

Before she could speak, Shen Shiyan spoke first, "What happened at the banquet that day was Xiaosi's fault. My father asked him to take the blame and apologize to the princess."

Jiang Xuening's eyes flashed across his face, "Who are you?"

"I'm on a trip to the Shen family." Shen Shiyan said quietly.

He was extremely curious about the person Xiao Mufeng was determined to kill. Moreover, they were too far apart in the teahouse that day, so he couldn't see the person clearly.

Jiang Xuening said not too surprised, "Oh, it turns out to be the third young master."

Shen Tingsi knelt on the ground, his eyes full of hatred. He doesn't want to apologize at all, and what he says is for the greater good is bullshit!

Jiang Xuening glanced at him, "The matter was closed that day. Although the Fourth Young Master almost strangled me to death, he paid the price. This princess has always been generous, and the Shen family does not have to worry that I will hold a grudge."

These words are very beautiful, but the trouble is that the Shen family is illogical.

Shen Tingsi covered his wound with force, "If the princess doesn't forgive me, I will never be able to see anyone in the future. I shouldn't mention the Gu family in front of the princess."

The wound instantly started to bleed, staining the snow-white clothes red.

He was a ruthless man, and Jiang Xuening stood in front of him and saw his little moves clearly.

She raised her eyebrows, "How do the Shen family hope this princess will forgive you?"

Shen Shiyan sighed, "Because of what the princess said at the banquet, Xiaosi's unmarried wife has broken off the engagement with him. I'm afraid no girl in Qingzhou will dare to marry him in the future."

Although she didn't say the word "Master Rabbit" aloud at that time, Shen Tingsi's reaction was so intense that everyone present could see something was wrong.

Moreover, there have been many rumors about the history of the Shen family's rise to power.

The girl Shen Tingsi has chosen is from a good family background. It was a great help to him. Losing this marriage was a big blow to him.

Shen Tingsi prayed, "Please give me a noble hand, Princess, and let me go, and help me clarify the rumors."

This posed a problem for Jiang Xuening. If she clarified, it would be a slap in the face, and it could also be seen as taking a step back.

If he didn't clarify, looking at Shen Tingsi's posture, he might be ready to die on his knees here.

Jiang Xuening said coldly, "Fourth Young Master, please go back. I don't understand what you are talking about. Do the rumors outside have anything to do with me?"

She wasn't prepared to admit it, after all, she didn't mention him by name at the time.

Shen Tingsi's eyes turned red, "Is the princess not leaving a way for me to survive?"

Shen Shiyan said, "Father said that if the princess doesn't forgive Xiaosi, Xiaosi will kneel down here until the princess forgives her."

People around her began to talk a lot, thinking that she had done something wrong even if they didn't understand the situation.

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes. It seemed that it was best for her to forgive and take a step back. But she didn't feel that the Shen family really wanted her so-called forgiveness. She intuitively felt that no matter what she chose, she would resist.

She wanted to see what tricks the Shen family was going to play this time.

Jiang Xuening said indifferently, "Since the Fourth Young Master likes to kneel, then just kneel. I don't think you need my forgiveness. After all, I am a person who wants to avenge you on the spot."

Just as he was talking, the imperial doctor came with a box.

Jiang Xuening ordered, "Please take good care of the Fourth Young Master, the imperial physician, and make sure he doesn't kneel to death here."

"This..." The imperial doctor was very embarrassed.

Jiang Xuening said to the housekeeper considerately, "Arrange a few guards and women to come over. If you need to take medicine, drink it immediately. If you need to bandage these, you can also do it on the spot."

The housekeeper and Concubine Zuo were very helpful. Soon a stove and pots for boiling medicine were set up at the entrance of the palace, and a wooden bed was even brought out.

The imperial doctor also set up a medical kit so that if Shen Tingsi couldn't hold on any longer, he could save him immediately.

Jiang Xuening was tired of standing, so Qinghe brought a chair for her. She sat down and looked at Shen Tingsi who was kneeling in front of her and said, "Since Mr. Shen likes to kneel, I, the princess, will do it for you. Kneel slowly, I I'll keep an eye on it myself and make sure you won't die on your knees."

Shen Tingsi felt extremely humiliated. He had never been insulted like this before.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Xuening, don't bully others too much!"
