Chapter 178 Legitimate Reasons
Several people were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Shen Shuyi would invite a doctor over.
Yu Ping looked at the doctor and said gently, "Please take the pulse of these two people, sir."
The doctor put the medicine box aside and immediately reached out to feel Mrs. Chen's pulse.
Mrs. Chen shrank back and subconsciously tried to withdraw her hand, but Manou refused to do so and held her arm down, preventing her from moving.
After a while, the doctor withdrew his hand and thought for a moment.
Shen Jingchuan looked at him and asked, "How is it?"
The doctor bowed and said, "According to my experience, there is nothing wrong with this woman's body. Apart from the excessive supplementation, which caused excessive liver fire, there is no other problem."
As soon as the doctor said this, Mrs. Chen's face immediately turned ugly: "Where did you come from? You are such a quack! I was obviously very ill a few days ago!"
The doctor stroked his beard and looked at her and said, "Master Shen, please look, this woman speaks with full energy and her face is rosy. There is nothing wrong with her. Of course, if you don't trust me, you can find another doctor to come."
Mrs. Chen said shrilly, "You're talking nonsense! I was clearly ill a few days ago!"
Shen Shuyi sneered and said, "Since you said you are sick, then I would like to ask which doctor you hired, where is the prescription, and where are the remaining medicine residues."
Mrs. Chen was speechless for a moment. She had only been instructed by Qin Xuerong to give Shen Shuyi a warning, and she never expected that she would come in person and even insist on keeping this matter.
Shen Jingchuan said coldly: "How dare you! What do you think this place is? How can you mess around here!"
As soon as Shen Jingchuan opened his mouth, Mrs. Chen wilted and seemed to come to her senses.
Shen Shuyi looked at Chef Zhang who was standing beside him and said calmly, "Please, doctor, check this gentleman's pulse again."
"Yes."
Chef Zhang's eyes were a little evasive, but having learned from Mrs. Chen's experience, he didn't dare to resist.
After the doctor carefully examined the patient's pulse, he said again, "Please stick out your tongue."
The man subconsciously glanced at Shen Jingchuan beside him, and then hesitantly stuck out his tongue.
After a while, the doctor said, "This gentleman is in good health. Apart from some stagnation of qi and blood in his shoulders and back, there is nothing wrong with him."
Shen Shuyi asked again: "Are you experiencing abdominal pain or diarrhea?"
The doctor said, "No."
As soon as these words came out, Chef Zhang immediately knelt down and said, "Master, please spare my life! Master, please spare my life!"
Shen Shuyi looked at the other two maids and said calmly, "Do you want me to help you sort out the work you did today?"
Jinzhu said solemnly, "No matter how much work you two have to do, if the master wants to see him, does he have to wait until you are free first?"
The two maids saw that the situation was hopeless and immediately knelt down and said, "Master, please spare us! Master, please spare us!"
Shen Shuyi looked at Shen Jingchuan and said softly, "Father, mother is kind and gentle. These servants do not understand mother's difficulties, but pretend to obey and secretly disobey, deceiving their superiors and hiding the truth from their subordinates. It is really hateful!"
Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice: "You are right. It is indeed because your mother is too lenient that these servants are allowed to act lawless. Come, sell these people out!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen and the others were completely panicked. After all, they just thought they were clinging to Qin Xuerong's thighs and that Shen Shuyi was someone who was easy to control. They never expected it to turn out like this.
"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me!"
"I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! I will never do it again!"
For a moment, several people knelt down and begged for mercy, obviously they were really scared.
Unfortunately, Shen Jingchuan seldom inquired about the affairs of the mansion. Now that he was invited by Shen Shuyi to "support" him and had solid evidence, he naturally wanted to rectify the atmosphere in the mansion.
Not long after, several servants were tied up and taken away by the housekeeper and his men.
The group led by Fugui became completely quiet, lowering their heads and not daring to say a word.
Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice: "The old lady's birthday banquet is coming soon. Since the kitchen affairs have been handed over to Sister Yi, you must fully cooperate. If I find out that you are cheating or taking advantage of your seniority, I will not show mercy!"
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi did not shy away from it. He looked at Yuping and Jinzhu and said, "You two stay here and discuss the menu with the steward and the cook based on the guest list. Also, make a budget for the purchase of drinks and dishes."
"Yes."
After the two responded, Shen Shuyi left with Shen Jingchuan. Shen Jingchuan said gently, "The head of the family must show strength. Your mother has a gentle temperament, so these servants are getting more and more complacent and can't tell the difference between superiors and subordinates."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my father for coming to support me, otherwise they wouldn't have taken me seriously."
Shen Jingchuan said in a gentle voice: "There is indeed something, but it is really difficult for me to say it."
Shen Shuyi stopped, looked at him with clear eyes, and said, "Daddy, just tell me what you want to say."
Shen Jingchuan said in a gentle voice: "Last time at Prince Duan's Mansion, I saw that you had a good relationship with Wang Taifu's niece. It was just because of your sister's matter that the two families were quite unhappy, so I was thinking whether I could take this opportunity to invite Madam Wang to the mansion to ease the relationship between the two families."
Shen Shuyi did not respond immediately. Shen Jingchuan looked at her expression and waited for her reply.
After a while, Shen Shuyi said gently: "My daughter does have an idea."
"Tell me about it." Shen Jingchuan showed some interest.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "The unhappiness between the two families started because of the third sister falling into the water, but no matter what, it is a fact that Prince Wang saved the third sister's life, which is a good deed."
"If father wants to ease the relationship between the two families, he should start with the third sister."
Shen Jingchuan frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "I can ask Sister Yao to mediate in front of Madam Wang and express our Shen family's apology. I also hope that Madam Wang will give me a chance and allow my third sister to apologize to the Wang family for her rudeness that day at my grandmother's birthday banquet."
Shen Jingchuan said nothing, as if he was considering the feasibility of what he said.
Shen Shuyi said again: "Third sister has been under house arrest for several days, and life is not easy. With such a legitimate reason, she can come out to relax, and others can't say anything. If there are other opportunities in the future, third sister can show up a few more times. After a long time, the words that second brother said at that time will be forgotten."
Shen Jingchuan seemed to be considering the feasibility of this matter, and then he heard Shen Shuyi say again: "Third sister's words at the beginning were indeed inappropriate. Now that she apologized in public, it can be regarded as knowing the mistakes and correcting them. It can at least help her restore some of her reputation. But in order to avoid gossip, third sister had better wear the attire of a nun practicing Buddhism at home on that day."
Shen Jingchuan nodded slightly: "You are right, this is indeed an opportunity, and I can also take the opportunity to test everyone's attitude."
Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed across Shen Shuyi's eyes.
Didn't Qin Xuerong want Shen Jingzhen to show up? Didn't she always hope that she could be in the limelight?
Then let her wear a grey Buddhist robe and bow her head to apologize in public among all the beautiful women.
