Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her
Chapter 42 Self-defeating
The other imperial edict was addressed to the Shen Mansion, and it would be read out at the Shen Mansion soon.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old prime minister signaled Shen Zhaojiang to privately interrogate the servant and find out who instructed him to destroy the relationship between the Shen and Fang families.
The servant confessed that it was the lady who asked him to do so.
He explained in detail how Madam Zhou had her trusted maid find him and how she taught him how to go out and tell the truth.
Then, Shen Zhaojiang looked at his father-in-law without saying anything.
Just because she couldn't stand the Shen and Fang families getting along, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion deliberately created conflicts between the two families.
He still uses this method. Is he afraid that Fang Yao won't beat him up, and afraid that he won't embarrass himself in public?
Touching his swollen face that was in so much pain that he couldn't even blink, Shen Zhaojiang asked the guard to grab the servant's collar and take him home.
The old prime minister was in the wrong and there was no way to persuade him. He was so angry that he told his son-in-law to go home and scold him. How could he destroy his own husband like this?
Shen Zhaojiang dragged the servant in front of Zhao and asked him to tell the story again.
The servant didn't dare to disobey and spoke tremblingly.
Then, Shen Zhaojiang said to the guards, "Drag Madam Zhou away and give her thirty lashes."
Nanny Zhou is almost fifty years old. If she is beaten with thirty sticks, she will be half dead even if she is not killed.
Zhao hurried forward to plead for mercy, but when she saw Shen Zhaojiang's purple face, she choked back her words.
The sound of crackling boards was heard, and all the servants in the mansion were summoned by the master to watch.
He just wanted to vent his anger in this way. If he couldn't defeat Zhao, he would defeat Zhao's confidants.
I was beaten up because of her and couldn't face anyone outside. It wasn't too much to slap her hard in the face at home.
He was so angry.
After being humiliated and beaten, Li'er's life has nothing to do with the Shen family.
It's all Zhao's fault.
If she hadn't deliberately provoked the Fang family, would Fang Yao have been able to exchange his military merits for an imperial edict in a fit of rage?
With this change, neither the grandparents nor the parents have the right to interfere in their daughter's affairs. Who has ever heard of such a thing?
He just happened to encounter it.
Originally, when he punished Shen Li with house arrest, it wasn't long, just three days, in order to demonstrate that his authority as the head of the family could not be defied.
Now, it has become evidence that he was torturing his daughter, and even more so, evidence that the Shen family was deliberately humiliating the Fang family.
Just when he was still full of anger, the housekeeper came in hurriedly and reported that Eunuch Chang had come to announce the decree.
The whole family quickly got ready to receive the imperial edict. Eunuch Chang specifically instructed to invite Miss Shen out and announced in front of everyone that from now on, she would live in the Shen Mansion, and her food, clothing and other expenses would be taken care of by the Shen family. Everything else would be the responsibility of the old man or the old lady of the Fang family. Nothing would count without the approval of the two elders.
The maids were so happy that they kept shouting "Long live the girl" in their hearts.
My uncle is so powerful that he could get such an imperial edict. Look at the faces of Old Madam Shen and Shen Zhaojiang, they are so dark that they are almost as dark as the bottom of an old pot that has not been washed for a hundred years.
Shen Li thanked the Lord for his grace, and Shen Zhaojiang stepped forward to take the imperial edict.
Eunuch Chang smiled and told Shen Li that the palace's Peach Blossom Banquet would be held in a few days. The emperor knew she was in mourning for her deceased mother, but he also hoped she could come to the palace to relax. He also said that everyone wanted to meet the girl who could make the general protect her with military merit. The general's wife would come to pick her up and bring her to the palace, so she asked her to be ready.
Then Eunuch Chang left.
Everyone in the Shen family felt so frustrated and helpless.
Especially Zhao, who found that she had done something that backfired and was so angry that her eyes turned red.
So regretful.
If I had known earlier, I would have ignored those concerns and poisoned this bitch to death on the road.
A moment of hesitation caused her great worry.
It has only been a few days, and she first had the support of the General's Mansion, and now she has the support of the Emperor.
If you want to kill her again in the future, you have to think carefully, so as not to accidentally shoot yourself in the foot like this time.
No matter how angry Madam Shen and Mrs. Zhao were, there was laughter and joy in the corner courtyard.
The maids were preparing for the noon celebration. Shen Li returned to the house, closed the door, and entered the space again.
Ever since the injured man left, the space has become her quiet room again.
The things inside had not changed, and every time she came in, she felt isolated from the world.
This feeling can give her temporary security, but there is also a slight sense of panic.
Is it true that we can’t find the exit to go back?
She sat in the corner, touching the things at hand out of habit. She looked down and saw that it was a medicine box, so she opened it subconsciously.
There were several boxes of medicine lying quietly inside, such as beclomethasone and methylprednisolone. If it weren't for the drug effects and usage instructions on them, and she wasn't a professional doctor, she would never have guessed that these were specifically for treating asthma patients.
Shen Li frowned in confusion.
The medicine cabinet wouldn't change like this for no reason. Who are these medicines for?
Just ignore it for now.
We have to get Yuan Zhilin's antidote and quickly have the secret guard give it to my uncle.
Shen Li took out the antidote, tore off the instructions on it, and came out of the space.
Opening the door, she found a pen and paper and wrote a letter, then waved to the tree.
The ancient characters instantly fell in front of her, "What do you want, young lady?"
Shen Li handed him the medicine and said, "Take the medicine and the letter to my uncle."
In the letter, she confessed to her uncle that Yuan Zhilin's illness was actually caused by the poison she had given him, and asked her uncle to tell the Duke of Wei's Mansion that the medicine was obtained from a miracle doctor in the Western Regions, and that this was the legendary miracle medicine that Madam Yuan had requested.
I believe my uncle will understand what she means when he sees the letter.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
My uncle took the responsibility of the matter himself, and not only did he avoid any trouble, but others also had to praise him for letting bygones be bygones and being magnanimous.
To avoid making Yuan Zhilin's illness appear easily curable, the letter specifically instructed him to take the detoxification in three doses: one to be taken after dinner each day, without eating or drinking anything. After three days of continuous use, he recovered.
......
Gu Zi took it, said yes, and disappeared with a leap.
Shen Li stared at the direction where the secret guard flew away, silently envious.
I really wish I had such skills, could climb walls and fly around rooftops and trees every day, how cool that would be.
"Girl, the nourishing soup that Aunt He made for you is ready. Please drink it quickly."
Zi Su walked in from outside with a tray in her hand.
Shen Li turned around, took the small bowl and drank it all.
Just then, Banxia also rushed in from outside.
"Miss, Miss, do you know what news I heard?"
Without waiting for anyone to ask, she grabbed the teapot and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Wiping her lips, she anxiously said, "I heard that the master doesn't believe there are ghosts in the mansion. He said the old lady was fooled by the master. It just so happens that the master has passed away and still needs the Dali Temple's seal of approval, so he plans to verify it himself. Miss, will Qiluo's medicine work?"
But don't let Shen Zhaojiang find out that the master is faking his death.
That would reveal everything.
Shisu smiled and shook her head, then carried the tray back to the kitchen.
Banxia looked at her back in confusion, completely bewildered: "Miss, why is she shaking her head? Is she laughing at me for being stupid?"
Shen Li couldn't help but laugh too.
This silly girl had no idea that the Master had been sent away last night. The body lying there now was a corpse found in the General's Mansion, which Qili had personally disguised to resemble the Master. Shen Zhaojiang went over to verify it, and even if he stabbed it several times, it wouldn't reveal any flaws, let alone just looking at it.
Banxia had no idea about this. After reporting the news, she ran out in a hurry.
