The princess glanced at Madam Shen and said softly, "I didn't say it was Shen Feng. Maybe someone sneaked in pretending to be a doctor."

"Yes!" Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what the princess said made sense, and her expression became serious.

"Then, we just need to find out who the doctor was that day." The princess said calmly. Mrs. Shen suddenly realized what was going on and immediately arranged for someone to investigate all the people who entered and left the mansion that day.

After Madam Shen left, the old man smiled coldly and walked out of the room. Only Princess Nanyue and Shen Siyan were left in the room.

The princess turned to face Shen Siyan, her eyes deep and complex.

"The only person who can do this is her - Ye Yunzi. Do you think she can save you?"

She slowly approached, squatted down, and gently stroked his cheek.

"No, I will not let you fall into her hands. You will only be mine."

"I will destroy her reputation and she will never be able to recover!" The princess' eyes suddenly became fierce, and she spoke through gritted teeth, with a chill in her voice.

……

Mrs. Shen quickly launched an investigation and eventually learned from the guards that the person who entered the mansion that day was a strange young man who claimed to be a doctor.

Afterwards, Mrs. Shen found Shen Feng and asked him who the doctor was that day.

Shen Feng coughed twice, his face pale, "Mother, why are you asking this?"

Mrs. Shen showed a little bit of nervousness on her face, but she tried to calm herself down and said softly, "I have been feeling uncomfortable lately. I want to see a doctor."

"You should go see Doctor Huang. He is more familiar with your condition." Shen Feng suggested in a calm tone.

Mrs. Shen's heart sank and she clenched her fists. In the past, her son always obeyed her, but today he was surprisingly opposed, which made her feel that something was wrong.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Feng carefully and found that he lowered his eyes and didn't want to look at her. She felt even more uneasy because she knew that her son might be like this because he found out what she had done to Si Yan.

Shen Feng felt mixed emotions. He never thought that his loving mother would poison Si Yan. Although his mother was usually cold to Si Yan, she had never done any substantial harm to him.

Shen Feng frowned, his heart full of doubt and pain. He wanted to know why his mother did this.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen was silent for a long time before she said softly, "You're right, let's let Doctor Huang come."

Shen Feng nodded slightly and forced a smile.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn. Mrs. Shen said nothing more and turned and left.

As soon as she left the house, Mrs. Shen's face immediately turned gloomy. She was full of doubts. Feng'er's attitude was obviously unusual. There must be a reason behind it. Did he know something?

Madam Shen was thinking when she suddenly saw the maid Que'er walk in with a medicine soup. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she shouted in a low voice: "Stop!"

Que'er shuddered with fear, "Husband, Madam..."

Mrs. Shen glanced at the room behind her and ordered in a low voice, "Follow me."

Que'er was trembling all over. She was extremely scared, but she did not dare to disobey her lady's order, so she had to follow tremblingly.

The two came to a hidden rockery. Mrs. Shen looked at Que'er coldly and asked, "Which doctor did you see that day?"

Que'er lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Mrs. Shen's eyes: "He is a miraculous doctor in the martial arts world. It is said that his medical skills are very advanced. The young master asked me to find him."

"Where is he?" Mrs. Shen asked.

"I don't know about this either. The Divine Doctor often drinks in the ** Building. I just happened to run into him then. I may not be able to find him now if I go out."

Que'er was panicking, her heart pounding like a drum, but she knew that the matter of Doctor Tao must not be disclosed. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her palms were wet, and her face was as pale as paper.

Mrs. Shen stared at Que'er coldly with sharp eyes. She had seen countless people and knew at a glance that Que'er was lying.

"Que'er, do you still remember how you came to the Shen Mansion?" Mrs. Shen asked softly.

"Remember, it was the young master who saved me." Que'er replied.

She had been abused by her stepmother and brother, and even overheard that her stepmother was planning to sell her to an elderly man. Out of fear, she chose to flee.

That night, she almost died on the street, covered with bruises and unconscious. At that moment, the young master happened to pass by and not only saved her, but also invited a doctor to treat her injuries.

She remembered this life-saving grace in her heart and vowed to repay the young master. She was willing to go through fire and water for the young master, no matter what.

"I'm glad you can remember it." Mrs. Shen's expression suddenly turned ferocious.

"If Feng'er hadn't kept you here, I would have kicked you out long ago!"

"If you want to continue to stay with Feng'er, tell us honestly which doctor you hired that day, otherwise..."

Que'er's whole body was shaking and his face became even paler.

"I really do not know!"

"Hurry up and say it!"

"I really don't know." Que'er shook his head like a rattle.

Madam Shen sneered: "It seems that you are planning to drink a forfeit if you refuse my toast."

At this time, an old maid came in with a few servants, bowed to Madam Shen and said, "Madam, everyone is ready."

"Take her away and make sure to get the truth out of her!" Mrs. Shen ordered.

"Yes." The old nanny waved her hand, and the servants came forward to drag Que'er. Her face was pale and her body was trembling.

"Ma'am, I really don't know!"

Shen Feng sat alone in the room, feeling worried, not understanding why his mother treated Que'er like this. After waiting for a long time, he cleared his throat and called out, "Que'er."

It was quiet outside and there was no response.

Shen Feng stood up, opened the door and looked out. Usually at this time, Que'er would be waiting in the yard, but today she was nowhere to be seen. He called out again.

"Que'er." Still no one answered.

His heart tightened, his face changed suddenly, and he hurried towards the main courtyard.

"not……"

Shen Feng hurried to the main courtyard and asked Madam Shen anxiously, "Mother, where is Que'er?"

Madam Shen looked up at him and said, "How would I know where your maid went? Feng'er, you are not feeling well, so you should go back and rest first."

Shen Feng was extremely anxious: "Mother!"

Due to his excitement, he began to cough violently, and an unhealthy blush appeared on his pale face.

"Where is Que'er? Ahem..." he asked.

Mrs. Shen turned her head, took a sip of tea, and did not respond to her son's question.

Shen Feng clenched his hands tightly, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety: "Mom, what do you want to do? Why do you do this?"

"Feng'er!" A hint of tenderness flashed in Mrs. Shen's eyes and she put down the teacup in her hand.

"Everything I do is for your own good. Don't ask any more questions. Leave everything to me."

"For me?" Shen Feng was stunned and smiled bitterly.

"Then you poisoned Si Yan for me, too?"
