Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
Chapter 54 It’s up to you
After hearing what the princess said, Shen Yun turned around and looked at Sun Manman who was kneeling beside the bed, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Manman, why on earth are you doing this?"
Sun Manman opened her mouth. She hadn't figured out how to deal with the next thing yet.
From the moment the silver needle turned black, she knew that things might not go according to her wishes, but once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. She could only go on with her act. Her only consolation was that the doctor was hers and Xiaoju was also very loyal.
But, she really didn't know what to do now. What she did today was just to teach Cheng Jinchu a small lesson, to let her know that this is no longer the era, and she could be easily dealt with with her identity. But, she didn't expect the princess to come!
What kind of background does Cheng Jinchu have? She is just a daughter who has been raised outside since she was a child. Shen Yun was promoted to the position of assistant minister recently because of her father's relationship. How did she have such ability? First the princess helped her, and then the county lord came.
Just as she thought, this Cheng Jinchu was not the real daughter of the Shen family.
Sun Manman knelt on the ground with tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what was going on and what to say.
Even if she didn't know what to do, she still had to speak up to defend herself.
"Master, I really don't know! I summoned the doctor because I really had a stomachache tonight!"
Sun Manman has been looking a little haggard recently. She was already suffering from morning sickness, and Mo Ling threatened her, which made her feel uncomfortable. She wanted to find a chance to get rid of Mo Ling, but before she could figure out a way, the fake daughter left the Shen Mansion. It was good to leave the Shen Mansion so that it would be easier to kill her outside. This was the only comfort she could give herself.
Things that have happened recently have been very unpleasant, and she has been irritable and easily angered during her pregnancy. If Cheng Jinchu provokes her again, she will definitely want to vent her anger to make herself feel better.
Of course she wouldn't be stupid enough to use Crane's Beak Poison. Their original plan was for the doctor to try it with a silver needle first, but it was useless if the silver needle didn't turn black. Then the doctor would explain that there was another kind of poison that couldn't be detected by the silver needle, and then present the evidence so that Cheng Jinchu could be convicted directly.
What she did today was really just to teach Cheng Jinchu a lesson. She didn't think about how big a fuss she would make, and she ended up shooting herself in the foot.
"My Lord, please understand. These things are all my fault!"
Xiaoju spoke at this time and kowtowed to Princess Ronghua.
Princess Ronghua sat on the stool and looked at Xiaoju teasingly.
"Oh~?"
Xiaoju bit her lip, took a deep breath, and continued.
"This afternoon, Miss Wu came to Madam with some cooked noodles and talked to Madam for a long time before she left. I was standing by and heard Miss Wu accusing Madam, and I felt very angry. Madam didn't care, but how could a child come and accuse his elders?"
When Sun Manman heard what Xiaoju said, she knew what Xiaoju wanted to do, so she knelt beside the bed and pretended to be weak. She leaned gently against the bed, turned her head, and sobbed softly without making a sound. She looked so pitiful.
"That's quite wrong. We should still be respectful to our elders. However, I am curious about what was said."
Xiaoju lowered her head and continued.
"When Miss Fifth first came, she was very polite and served noodles to Madam. Madam had been vomiting everything she ate recently and felt very uncomfortable. In order not to upset Miss Fifth, she picked up her chopsticks and ate a few bites. She also praised Miss Fifth for her cooking skills. Unexpectedly, Miss Fifth suddenly frowned and said how respectful she was to Madam. As a result, Madam actually took someone else back and let her be taken away by Jingzhao Yin to suffer in prison. She said that Madam was just a concubine, so she couldn't wait to do it to the original wife's children?"
Xiaoju said this and kowtowed to the princess again.
"My Lady, I just couldn't bear to see Madam suffer any injustice. Madam is very kind to everyone. She is too innocent and kind that she was taken advantage of and deceived by others. So, I worked with the doctor to do this tonight. I gave Madam a stomachache medicine. Madam, Madam didn't know anything about it. Even after the doctor said that Fifth Miss had poisoned her, she still wanted to help keep it a secret. But I arranged everything. How can I just let it go like this!"
This doctor was from the Sun family, and his family was all in the hands of the Sun family. When the princess showed up today, he knew that he was finished, so he didn't plan to struggle. Now, after Xiaoju said this, he just knocked his head on the ground and didn't move.
Princess Ronghua smiled after hearing what Xiaoju said and looked at Cheng Jinchu.
"Yier, now that Xiaoju has said so, do you have anything else to say?"
Everyone was shocked by the princess's words "Yi'er" and turned to look at Cheng Jinchu.
Cheng Jinchu shrugged.
"Sister, please stop talking. Whatever she said is what it is. Who told me not to bring my own people when I went to someone else's yard? What can I say? What evidence can I use to replay what I said at that time? I can't!"
Does she have surveillance or a reverberation stone? If this were a fairy world, it would be easy to prove this. But what can we do now? Technology is not yet developed.
Cheng Jinchu had a look of helplessness on his face. Princess Ronghua stood up, walked to Cheng Jinchu, and raised her hand to rub Cheng Jinchu's head.
"Lord Shen may not know that Yi'er and I have known each other for a long time. I treat her as my younger sister. She wrote me a happy letter before she went home. I came back this time just to see how she is doing at home."
This statement was half true and half false. Cheng Jinchu knew Princess Ronghua. Princess Ronghua was the apprentice of the fifth elder of the Palace of the Medical Saint. Naturally, she had met Cheng Jinchu. Although she didn't know what Cheng Jinchu's identity was, she only knew that the fifth elder was quite respectful to Cheng Jinchu.
Princess Ronghua spends most of her time with the Fifth Elder. This time she came back because of the Emperor's health. Of course, this is a secret, and to the outside world, she only said that she came back for the Emperor's birthday.
Cheng Jinchu had never thought that she was just asking the eldest prince's wife to help find a female doctor from the palace, but she was so capable that she directly sent Princess Ronghua here.
It feels a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
"I'm fine, it's just so-so. Sister, you've heard about it since you came back. Someone else took my identity and put me in jail and even in court. I finally came back. I've been through so much these days and I'm not feeling well, so I asked you to come and see me. I was so sad. I used your medical skills for this place. Sigh..."
Shen Yun was so angry at Cheng Jinchu. This rebellious girl, does she understand what it means that family disgrace should not be made public? Why did she say so much?
If this rebellious girl had just followed Xiaoju's advice, the matter would have passed and he would not have punished her. But now...
Shen Yun had a terrible headache. Now, he just hoped that what happened today would not get out. After the princess left, he would find Shen Jinyi to have a good talk.
Seeing Shen Yun unable to raise his head, Princess Ronghua rolled her eyes, took Cheng Jinchu's hand and prepared to leave.
"Okay, Mr. Shen, I will not care about your affairs in the backyard. Today, it is mainly because Yi'er was wronged. As for me, I just don't like people bullying my good sister. You can handle the next matter yourself!"
