Chapter 228: The ability to plot against people
A group of people hurried forward and supported Madam Shen.
Fortunately, the imperial physician Zhang Xu was still there. After the group helped Madam Shen back to her room, Zhang Xu quickly took Madam Shen's pulse, gave her acupuncture, and prescribed some medicine.
Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Zhang Xu looked at Shen Jingchuan and said in a deep voice: "The old lady is old and she was anxious and angry, so she fainted suddenly."
"I prescribed some medicine to dissipate blood stasis and relieve qi, which can help the old lady. But the most important thing is to rest and keep your mind calm. Don't get stimulated again."
Shen Jingchuan was so ashamed that he bowed to Zhang Xu and said, "Today, I am very grateful to have you, Lord Zhang. I really have to trouble you, Lord Zhang."
Zhang Xu said gently, "It's just a small favor, Lord Shen, don't take it to heart."
With Madam Shen's fainting, the birthday banquet, which was already a mess, became a complete mess.
Fortunately, Zhao Dehai and Shen Jingzhou worked hard to maintain the situation and managed to stabilize it.
Those who were tactful had already left, but some people couldn't help but want to watch the fun. Since the Shen family didn't ask them to leave, they stayed.
Xiao Tingshan also did not leave. He stood in front of Madam Shen's courtyard gate with the group of people. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and his eyes were unclear.
Wen Renzong stood beside him, folded his arms, and said in a deep voice: "The Shen family seems to be in trouble recently."
Xiao Tingshan said nothing, obviously thinking about it.
He intended to marry Shen Jingyu. Firstly, he was attracted by Shen Jingyu's reputation as the most talented woman in the capital, and secondly, he was attracted by the power represented by Shen Jingchuan.
But apart from that, putting aside the fact that Shen Jingyu is famous in the capital, the threshold of the Shen family itself is not that high. Compared with other famous families with strong foundations and generations of inheritance, the Shen family's foundation is much weaker.
Xiao Tingshan was very clear that although he bore the title of the eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion, he had always been criticized for his weak health. Secondly, many people could see clearly that the attitudes of his father and stepmother seemed to be more inclined towards his younger brother, Song Hua'an.
He thought for a long time before deciding on the Shen family as his goal.
But he didn't expect that before he and Shen Jingyu could get together, the Shen family would encounter one disaster after another.
If Shen Jingchuan loses his heart, is it necessary for me to consider this marriage with the Shen family...
For a moment, Xiao Tingshan's mind was in turmoil, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Lou Yulan stood under a banyan tree not far away, her eyes always drifting towards Xiao Tingshan.
She knew that the person he liked had always been her cousin.
When I stand next to my cousin, I am always overshadowed by her.
But she also knew that her cousin was not interested in this and would not want to marry her, so she was willing to stand behind her cousin, hoping that every time his eyes fell on her, he would see her.
Lou Yulan couldn't help but think that given the status of the Lou family, she was naturally not worthy of someone like Young Master Song.
Even though he had a chronic illness and couldn't practice martial arts, she had never seen a man more gentle and kind than him.
Lou Yulan could not forget the day when she accidentally sprained her ankle. It was he who sent someone to invite a doctor to treat her and then had someone send her back to the Lou family.
She thought he wouldn't remember all this, but unexpectedly, he remembered who he was, and even more so, the wound on her foot...
Of course, she had also occasionally run into his sanctimonious brother bullying him in every way, and had seen him standing beside the flowers, dazed and looking lonely.
She had also seen him drinking with friends under the rain, sometimes his smile was as warm as the sun, and sometimes there was a hint of loneliness and solitude in his eyes.
She couldn't help herself and wanted to go forward to comfort him.
But she knew she couldn't.
She didn't know when it started, but she couldn't help but search for his figure in the crowd and got used to paying attention to his every move.
Fortunately, he would often greet her, and because of her cousin relationship, they would occasionally chat with each other.
Because of this, she would always be happy for several days in a row, and her mood would unconsciously become better.
*
This was the scene Shen Shuyi saw when he came out of Old Madam Shen's room.
Lou Yulan looked at Xiao Tingshan lovingly. Although the feelings in her eyes were hidden deep, if you looked closely, it was not difficult to discern her thoughts.
Shen Shuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Seeing that Xiao Tingshan's gaze had turned to Shen Jingyu, who came out with Shen Jingchuan, a hint of amusement flashed in his beautiful and clear almond eyes.
Tsk, what a pity that her elder sister is too ambitious and looks down upon Xiao Tingshan’s family background.
Otherwise, I wonder how Lou Yulan would face her cousin who is famous in Beijing and as beautiful as a flower.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think more.
At present, no one knows Xiao Tingshan’s true identity. I wonder if Shen Jingyu’s attitude would change drastically if she knew that he was actually a prince.
While he was thinking, Shen Jingchuan had already walked out of the yard.
Facing the concerns and inquiries from everyone, whether real or fake, Shen Jingchuan wiped the tears from his eyes and choked up, "Thanks to the help of Doctor Zhang, my mother has temporarily woken up. Many things happened in the Shen Mansion today, and I was unable to entertain you all properly. It is really my fault."
"Master Shen, what are you talking about? Whose children aren't naughty?"
"That's right. Being a parent means you have to worry about everything in your life. Lord Shen already has such excellent children as the eldest and second young ladies, as well as the second young master Shen. Naturally, you can't be too greedy."
"That's right. If all your children were that successful, there would be no way for us to survive."
"..."
The group tried their best to comfort Shen Jingchuan, and they all did their best to save his appearance.
Shen Shuyi stood a little further back, his eyes fixed on Shen Jinglin, who was completely wilted, and he was thinking about his own plans without making any expression.
Until a dark blue figure stood beside him, and the man's cold and clean voice sounded: "Miss Shen's ability to manipulate people's hearts is really admirable."
Shen Shuyi paused slightly and turned to look.
Under the warm sunshine, a sharp and handsome face came into view.
Xie Jingchi stood beside her, his narrow and long phoenix eyes slightly lowered, looking straight at her. His dark pupils were deep and dim, reflecting her beautiful figure.
The man had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a clean and stern appearance, but because of his eyes, he seemed even more charming, making him seem even more unpredictable, deep and gloomy.
Shen Shuyi chuckled and said softly, "Master Xie, why do you always like to say strange things? I am clumsy and don't understand what you are saying."
She avoided his gaze and did not meet his eyes again, because this man really had a very good-looking face and a pair of charming eyes.
Unfortunately, his eyes are too cold and indifferent.
Perhaps he and she are the same type of people, and it is difficult for them to be moved by anything.
But Shen Shuyi felt that people like him were very good. To the Daqian Dynasty and all the people of the Daqian Dynasty, people like him were like a sword in the hands of the emperor, invincible and unstoppable.
If there were more people like him in the world, perhaps we would be closer to peace and prosperity.
