"When I didn't want to leave, something happened in Dongyue Building. People who were watching the excitement pushed and shoved each other, and the streets were packed with people."

"I accidentally sprained my ankle, so I went back to the clinic to get some medicine. I will come back when I feel better."

Shen Cangyuan didn't care what happened in Dongyue Tower, but after seeing Shen Qiyin say this, Shen Guangzong couldn't hide his ugly expression, and Shen Ruyin even knocked over the teacup, making it impossible for him not to pay attention.

"When I saw you just now, I wanted to ask you, what's going on with you two brothers and sisters?" Shen Cang's brows were gloomy, revealing his displeasure: "How can I describe how embarrassed you are?"

Now, I can't hide it even if I want to.

The incident at Dongyue Tower was indeed Shen Ruyin's fault, but it was also an indisputable fact that Shen Guangzong fought with her.

He was so embarrassed that he hurried back home and stayed in his yard without coming out. He wanted to wait until later when no one was paying attention before going to talk to his grandmother and punish Shen Ruyin.

Who would have thought that my father would come back home at this time!

Although Shen Cang values ​​his son, he is different from Old Madam Shen's doting on him. He is particularly strict when it comes to issues concerning the academic and reputation of Shen Guangzong and Shen Yaozu.

Therefore, when he asked about the injury on Shen Guangzong's face, the latter hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything clearly.

Shen Cang lost all his patience: "What the hell is going on?!"

Shen Guangzong knelt down immediately.

"To answer my father, it's all my fault. It's my fault." Shen Guangzong looked heartbroken.

Next, he told the story of how he accidentally ran into Shen Ruyin in Dongyue Tower.

In the "story", he was so persuasive, but Shen Ruyin was so ignorant that she not only insulted and ridiculed him in public, but even started fighting with him when she got excited.

As for him, he just accidentally injured Shen Ruyin in the chaos.

He had removed all the blame from himself, how could Shen Ruyin not be furious!

But just as she knelt down, before she could say a few words to defend herself, the old lady asked angrily: "Wasn't the third girl in her own courtyard reflecting on her mistakes? Why did she run outside? What are the people below doing for a living! Who let her out?"

Shen Guangzong said: "I'll have to ask Aunt Zheng about this."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Zheng, who was called, stood up tremblingly and knelt beside Shen Ruyu.

At this point, what is there for Old Lady Shen not to understand? It turns out that what this little whore said about going back home to raise money was false, and the real reason was to kidnap the young lady and go out to meet a man!

"You guys are really rebellious!"

The old lady was furious, but Shen Cang was a little confused.

In the end, it was Aunt Zhou who was "thoughtful" enough to tell him everything that had happened recently.

After hearing that Shen Ruyin and Feng Heng had an affair in Jing'an Temple and Shen Qiyin had canceled the marriage with the Feng family, Shen Cang seemed to finally be unable to bear it, and fell down with his eyes closed.

Everyone panicked instantly: "Is the master sick from being angry?"

Shen Qiyin laughed: Could it be that my father was angry to death?

Old Madam Shen asked Shen Qiyin to come over and take Shen Cang's pulse. She went over and took it, and was disappointed to find that he was just fainted.

"How is your father?"

"He was so angry that his blood rushed to his head and he fainted." Shen Qiyin guessed that he must have been frightened and uneasy in prison for these days, and couldn't eat or sleep well, and his body must have collapsed long ago.

He was finally released, but first he was made a fuss by the old lady, and then he heard about so many things that happened in the mansion. Naturally he was angry.

"I'll write a prescription and ask the servants to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine and boil it. I think father will feel better after drinking it."

"Okay, okay." Old Madam Shen hurriedly ordered people to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Even at this time, she did not forget to take advantage of the situation and said, "Just go to Guangrentang to get medicine. You are a doctor there, and if you want to get some herbs, they won't charge you."

"Okay." Shen Qiyin nodded: "Just tell them that I am the second daughter of the Shen family."

"This……"

But Old Madam Shen hesitated.

Shen Cang had just fainted from anger because of all the bad things that had happened recently. If she continued to act on her own, he might blame her when he woke up. It would be better to keep his distance.

So he changed his tone and said, "Forget it, it's not that we can't afford that little bit of money, we don't want those poor people to laugh at us for being stingy."

"Yes."

Shen Qiyin said no more and walked to the side to get a prescription.

Due to Shen Cang's sudden fainting, the matter of Shen Ruyin seemed to have come to nothing.

But Shen Qiyin knew that this matter was not so easy to reveal.

Sure enough, Shen Cang woke up at night and did not even wait until the next day. He immediately gave an order to send Shen Ruyin to the farm early the next morning.

She just told others that she was sick and needed to rest.

As for Aunt Zheng...she was given a severe beating.

The cane that didn't hit Mrs. Shen that day finally fell on her.

Shen Cang was furious, and even Shen Yaozu's plea was of no avail.

Shen Qiyin was having breakfast when he learned about this.

Honeysuckle kept talking non-stop and didn't even have time to eat. Shen Qiyin didn't urge her, but just quietly put some food into her bowl, which were her favorite dishes.

Honeysuckle is small in stature, but has a big appetite.

After eating three bowls of rice, two chicken legs, a plate of shrimp, and a bowl of egg drop soup, she touched her round belly and sighed with satisfaction: "I'm full... burp..."

She caught a glimpse of her young lady looking at her in surprise. She scratched her chin in embarrassment and said, "Hey...hey, young lady, don't think that I eat a lot. It's not for nothing. I'm very strong!"

When she was in the countryside, she was no worse than the men at doing farm work.

But she was never full, which somewhat affected her performance.

Now that I have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, I feel like I have endless energy. I can kick the old ox away and plow his two acres of land by myself.

Thinking of this, she excitedly said to Shen Qiyin: "Miss, don't be afraid when the Shen family is gone in the future. I can farm to support you! I guarantee that you won't live worse than you do now!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin was stunned at first.

Then he thought that her successive actions were all aimed at bringing down the Shen family. It would be strange if Rendong still didn't realize what she wanted to do.

only……

"Lindong, don't you think I'm cruel and ruthless?" She didn't care what the world thought of her, but she didn't want people around her to avoid her like the plague.

But Honeysuckle said, "I just think you have a kind heart, for waiting until now to take action against them."

"If it were me, I would have killed them with rat poison long ago!"

She had only been in this mansion for a year or two, but she had already seen so many ugly faces that they wished they could squeeze every last drop of blood out of her young lady.

If you don't kill a family member with poison, are you going to keep them alive for the New Year?

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin laughed and felt relieved.

After breakfast, she went to see Shen Cang again as Madam Shen had said, and after returning to Haitang Courtyard, she continued to teach Rendong how to read.

After lunch, they went out.

But today, on the way to Guangrentang, she deliberately took a detour to the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture.

There were several notices posted on the high wall outside the government office:

Now there is a case in which Zhang San molested Widow Wang, and the neighbors can all testify to it. Zhang San was arrested and fled. Now an order is issued to arrest him. Anyone who knows about it but does not report it will be punished with the same crime.

The famous thief Yitiaochong has reappeared in the Jianghu and robbed merchants traveling on both sides of the Qiongjiang River. A reward of 500 taels of silver is now offered for the arrest of this thief. The criminal's portrait is on the left.
