Hearing this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Shuhan's empty and numb face.

"Well... Second brother, since you are capable, why do you need me for help?"

The sound was like a broken gong, which was really unpleasant to the ear. After just one sentence, Shen Shuhan started coughing violently and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You don't know how to appreciate my kindness!" Shen Jing'an angrily punched Shen Shuhan in the face with a ferocious look on his face.

But the boy just closed his eyes and said nothing.

He was stupid enough to believe his lies. People like Shen Jingan, the more powerful they are, the more people they will harm.

At this moment, Qin Xuerong became alert after receiving the news brought by her maid.

"Are you sure that Shen Shuyi took the doctor to the direction of Shuhanyuan?" Qin Xuerong confirmed again and again. Although she was already certain in her heart, she was still very cautious.

"It's absolutely true. I saw them heading in that direction with my own eyes. Dongyue is still watching over there. She will come back to report if there are any accidents." Qiu Shui said seriously.

Qin Xuerong then smiled: "Oh, no matter how scheming Shen Shuyi is, she is still young after all. I knew she would miss her useless brother."

Nanny Wang hurriedly asked, "Madam, what should we do now? Should we send someone to invite the master immediately?"

Qin Xuerong had already taken off her hairpins and rings, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes: "Of course you have to invite me. I'll go in person."

"No need to dress up, just be casual."

"Yes."

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Qin Xuerong brought people to Aunt Wu's courtyard.

The steward beside Shen Jingchuan saw Qin Xuerong coming in person and looked anxious. He did not dare to delay and immediately went to the inner courtyard to report.

"Master, the lady said she wants to see you for something urgent."

Shen Jingchuan frowned with some dissatisfaction. He had just made love with Aunt Wu and hadn't slept yet.

But after a busy day, I was already tired. It was really unpleasant that Qin Xuerong came over at this time.

Aunt Wu propped herself up and said in a gentle voice, "Madam is not someone who doesn't know the difference between the important and the unimportant. Madam came here in person at this hour, it must be something important, Master, please don't delay."

Shen Jingchuan sighed and said, "You are always considerate."

After wasting about half a minute, Shen Jingchuan walked out of the inner courtyard with a frown.

Qin Xuerong immediately caught sight of the lustful Concubine Wu behind him and could not help asking, "How is Concubine Wu's health?"

Shen Jingchuan said: "I have sent someone to make an appointment with a doctor tomorrow, and someone will take a closer look at her then."

This one sentence completely put an end to Qin Xuerong's previous plan and made her eyes darken.

This vixen had been on guard against her for a long time, fearing that she would invite a doctor over, so she eliminated this possibility in advance.

Shen Jingchuan naturally didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them. He just said with a bit of impatience: "What's the matter? You have to come here in person."

Qin Xuerong withdrew her thoughts. After all, the most important thing right now was to deal with Shen Shuyi first.

"This concerns Brother Han, Master, please spare me a moment to talk." Qin Xuerong spoke in a gentle voice.

Shen Jingchuan took a while to react before he realized who Han Ge'er Qin Xuerong was talking about. He immediately frowned and walked in front of her.

Qin Xuerong said in embarrassment: "I am really embarrassed about this matter. I don't know whether I should tell the master, but after all, it is a serious matter, and I dare not make a rash decision."

Shen Jingchuan frowned and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. You have been in charge of the mansion for so many years, and I trust you the most."

Qin Xuerong's expression eased a little, and she lowered her voice and said, "Just now, a maid passed on a message saying that she saw Yijie invited a doctor and took him to Shuhan Garden to visit Hange."

Shen Jingchuan was stunned for a few seconds, then asked angrily, "Is this true?"

Qin Xuerong said in a gentle voice: "It should be correct. The maid saw it with her own eyes. I think it was because Han Ge'er was mentioned at the family dinner today that she was worried about him."

Shen Jingchuan said coldly: "She really doesn't know her place! Does she really think she can control everything?"

Qin Xuerong said quickly: "Master, calm down. I think Yijie is also thinking about the relationship between brothers and sisters. She hasn't seen Hange for many years, so she took the initiative to make decisions."

"That's nonsense! I clearly told her not to go to Shuhan Garden. She deliberately chose to go there late at night, away from other people's eyes and ears. Doesn't that mean she doesn't take me seriously at all?"

Shen Jingchuan was very angry. He flicked his sleeves and strode towards Shu Hanyuan.

Not only did Shen Shuyi go to Shuhanyuan, she even dared to bring an outsider with her. She was so bold!

Qin Xuerong looked up at Shen Jingchuan's back, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickly followed him.

"Master, please calm down. Sister Yi is still a child after all. She has not been in the Shen Mansion for these years. It is inevitable that she does not know the seriousness of the matter and always has some ideas of her own..." Qin Xuerong hurriedly followed Shen Jingchuan's steps, and kept "excusing" Shen Shuyi.

Shen Jingchuan couldn't hear what she said at all at this moment, and just felt furious.

"You don't have to defend her! No matter what her reasons are, I have already told her personally! She still acts like this, does she treat me as her father?!"

Qin Xuerong said, "Sister Yi is such a fool. My mother and I have warned her before, but how can she have such a big idea..."

A group of people walked hurriedly, and at this moment, they were in Jing'an Courtyard.

After Shen Shuyi and the female doctor carefully asked Qiulian about the old lady's illness, they prepared to get up and say goodbye.

Just as I walked out of Aunt Qiulian's room, I heard bursts of coughing from Old Madam Shen in the main house, sometimes suppressing it and sometimes enduring it.

Shen Shuyi stood in the corridor and couldn't help but look back.

"Is grandma awake? She sounds more sick than during the day."

Qiulian said, "The old lady's illness has always been like this. Every night, the attack is always more severe than usual, and she often has trouble sleeping."

"In that case, Aunt Qiulian, please go and see grandma. I'll ask the people in the small kitchen to make a bowl of pear soup for grandma. If grandma is not asleep later, I'll send someone to bring it to her." Shen Shuyi said hurriedly.

"Second Miss is so thoughtful. I'll let Bai Lu lead the way for you. I'll go see the old lady first."

After saying that, Qiulian didn't delay any longer and hurried into the main house.

The maid named Bai Lu said gently, "What kind of pear soup would Second Miss like to make? I'll go and tell the kitchen."

Shen Shuyi said, "Peel the pears, put the skin and flesh into the stew pot, and then add tangerine peel and rock sugar... Never mind, I'd better go with you. It's better to have the doctor with you."

"Thank you, Second Miss. Please follow me." Bai Lu did not refuse and led the way.

Old Madam Shen’s small kitchen was not far away, in a wing room on the west side. Shen Shuyi took the female doctor there and did it himself.

Just as the pear soup was being boiled, a little maid stepped over the threshold and said respectfully, "Second Miss, the old lady heard that you were here, please come over."

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Shen Shuyi's slightly lowered eyes.

Old Madam Shen and Aunt Qiulian are her best alibis.
