Shen Xingwan returned to the courtyard, changed into home clothes, and took off complicated hair accessories.
Banxia brought a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and Shen Xingwan was eating it.
Qinghong led Rose, the eldest maid in Shen Qingran's courtyard, here.
Shen Xingwan asked while eating, "Is there something wrong with my sister when you come here so late?"
Yueji glanced at Shen Xingwan anxiously, gritted her teeth, knelt down and said, "Please help me, girl."
"Say." Shen Xingwan put down his chopsticks.
Yueji said with a bit of embarrassment, "Miss, it's been an hour since I went to the fourth wife's yard, and I haven't come out yet..."
Based on past experience, the longer she stayed, the worse it would be. She was really afraid that something would happen.
After the fourth wife became seriously ill, she became increasingly moody.
"Please find an excuse to call the young lady out." Yue Ji pleaded, "The Fourth Master has gone to visit friends and has not been at home these days."
On the old lady's side, she was a servant who didn't dare to make a decision on her own. Who knew whether it would be self-defeating, and the only one who could ask for help was Shen Xing too late.
Shen Xingwan thought for a moment and told Qinghong, "You go with Yue Ji and tell me that I caught a cold and got a fever at the banquet and need to hire a doctor."
Shen Qingran is now in charge of things in the backyard, and this kind of thing must go through her.
Yueji instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, girl."
Qinghong followed Yueji's footsteps and hurried towards the fourth wife's yard. It was already midnight, and the fourth wife's yard was still brightly lit.
The two of them were stopped as soon as they entered, and it was Shen Qingran's gorgeous maid Chuntao who was called away.
"What are you doing?"
"If you have something urgent, please contact Fifth Miss." Qinghong said.
Chuntao refused to give in and said angrily, "The fifth lady is currently waiting on my wife and has no time."
Qing Hong had already practiced with Shen Xingwan. She said aggressively, "Our lady is sick. If she is delayed, will you bear the responsibility?"
After saying that, he looked her up and down, "I really think I am a person!"
Chuntao was so angry that she was being pampered in front of the fourth wife recently.
Shen Xingwan is new here, and Chuntao doesn't dare to offend her too much.
Unable to swallow this breath, he raised his hand and gave Yue Ji a slap in the face with a "pop" sound.
Yueji's face was swollen instantly.
Yue Ji raised her hand in an aura, but was stopped by Chuntao, "Huh, I'm the wife's friend, you dare to hit me!"
Chuntao was so wronged that she didn't dare to take action.
The fourth wife originally disliked Shen Qingran's people and was very picky. If she dared to attack, the fourth wife would definitely take the opportunity to attack.
The noise was so loud that it had already been heard in the room.
The fourth wife’s confidant, grandma, pushed open the door and said with a steady face, “What are you causing so much trouble in the middle of the night? It’s so disturbing that my wife is taking a rest!”
Qinghong walked over and repeated what Shen Xingwanjiao said, emphasizing, "If you think it's disturbing, I'll go find the old lady. I didn't want to disturb the old lady!"
If we really get into trouble with the old lady, it's the fourth wife's fault.
"There's a disturbance somewhere. I'll go and tell the Fourth Wife immediately," said the nanny in a forced and gentle tone.
I turned around and entered the fourth wife's room, and soon there was the sound of something crisp and broken.
It's particularly harsh in the night.
Chuntao glared at Yueji fiercely, then calmed down, not daring to make a fuss.
After a while, the door opened again.
Shen Qingran walked out into the candlelight, and Qinghong could clearly see that the gorgeous clothes she had not yet changed out of were splashed with dirt from her chest.
My walking posture is not right either, it's obvious that my knees are injured.
Chuntao snorted coldly, with disdain on her face.
It doesn't matter if you are favored, it doesn't matter if you are gentle and talented, you still have to obediently let the fourth wife make you miserable.
Yue Ji, who didn't even cry after being beaten, saw Shen Qingran like this, and immediately rushed up to support her with red eyes, "Miss, are you okay?"
The bright slap mark was very obvious under the light. Shen Qingran looked at her face with a deep look, "Who slapped her!"
Chuntao answered in a desperate manner, "I called her. Who asked her to come over so late and disturb the wife?"
Shen Qingran walked step by step in front of Chuntao, "You think you are great, don't you?"
Chuntao laughed and said, "I don't dare."
Shen Qingran looked at her coldly, rarely getting angry. He raised his hand and shot her left and right, and slapped her hard and fast twice.
Chuntao was stunned. She didn't feel any pain for a moment. She looked at her with wide eyes, "Miss Fifth, how could you do this!"
Shen Qingran said coldly, "The fourth wife is my legitimate mother and a legitimate wife. Who are you, and how dare you act arrogantly in front of me!"
"If you dare to embarrass me, I can deal with you more than enough. You can give it a try!"
"Next time she dares to hit you, just hit her back. If anything happens, I will be responsible. I want to see how valuable her life is!" Shen Qingran said to Yue Ji.
Yueji responded loudly, "Yes!
The fourth wife in the room must have heard such a big noise, but she didn't make a sound.
Shen Qingran straightened her back, walked out of the fourth wife's yard, and then said to Qinghong, "Help me thank my sister, I will trouble her tonight."
"Miss Fifth, it's serious. Just hope you're fine," Qinghong said.
It was already late at night, so Shen Qingran didn't come to thank her and went straight back to her yard.
After changing out of the clothes stained by the fourth wife's bowl of medicine, I rolled up my trousers and saw that my knees were blue and red again.
While Chuntao skillfully applied the medicine to her, she said distressedly, "My wife is getting more and more excessive. There is no way to continue like this."
Shen Qingran's face was cold, and she was obviously very angry this time.
She took a sip of hot tea to calm down, and then said in a deep voice, "For the harmony of the family, for my father and for my aunt, I have been enduring it."
Her father did a good job in raising her, and even the two sons born to the fourth wife did not do a bad job in treating her sister.
Shen Qingran has always been gentle and sensible, so she has always endured some of the usual difficulties.
It's a pity that her concession seemed to give the fourth wife the illusion that she was easy to handle.
If there is no way to retreat, then there is no need to retreat again.
Shen Qingran ordered people to find the housekeeper's cards and account books, "Send them to my wife tomorrow and tell them that I am seriously ill and cannot continue to take care of the house."
She took on this heavy responsibility to take good care of her family, and also to allow her to recover from her illness with peace of mind.
Since she thinks she is seeking power for selfish reasons, she should return it to her.
This family is not easy to manage, and there are a lot of trivial matters every day.
She wanted to take a look. How was the fourth wife going to take care of her illness?
"Give the news to our people in the fourth wife's yard and find a way to reveal to her the bad things going on in the fourth wife's family." Shen Qingran continued.
How could she be easily bullied if she could reach this stage as a concubine?
Being gentle and considerate is not fake, but there is a limit to human patience.
Shen Qingran's eyes darkened, the fourth wife proposed marriage to her tonight.
It's just that he didn't tell her to jump into the fire pit obediently.
★The line Shen Qingran-Fourth Prince-Xingwan is very important, so I will focus on it.
