Shen Wan insisted on going back, but Xie Jingyan did not stop her. However, the family scandal must not be made public. There was an internal fight between sisters-in-law and even a fight between sisters-in-law in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Xie Jingyan could not go back with him, so he did not accompany him.

After lunch, Shen Wan took Yin Shuang and Dong'er out of the house and took a carriage back to Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Shen Wan got off the carriage, walked into the mansion, and went directly to the old lady's Qinghui Courtyard.

After walking around the screen and entering the room, they saw the old lady sitting on the Arhat couch. She looked a little better than last time, but she was still very haggard. This shows how much Shen Li's death had affected her.

Before Shen Wan's eyes could move away from the old lady's face, Shen Ying's voice came, "Eldest sister is back, please tell grandma to wait."

Nothing could be heard from his tone, but his face was full of provocation.

Her grandmother asked her to get the ointment but refused to give it to her. She sent someone to ask Shen Wan to come back, thinking that she dared not come back.

He opened his mouth to accuse her of being unfilial and keeping the old lady waiting, but Shen Wan refused, "When my grandmother sent someone to find me, I was having lunch with the prince. I couldn't leave the prince and come back first, keeping my grandmother waiting. "

It is very impolite to ask someone while they are having lunch. As an elder, you can't blame the younger generation for being unfilial by doing such a rude thing.

Shen Ying attacked, but Shen Wan returned it with the needle in her hand.

The old lady's hand playing with the beads slowed down, and her eyes became colder.

Shen Wan stepped forward, greeted the old lady, and said, "I wonder why grandma came back to me in such a hurry?"

Shen Ying was irritated when she heard this. She didn't believe that Shen Wan couldn't guess why the old lady came back to her, but she would pretend to be confused with them.

The old lady didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I came back to you to treat your third aunt's face. It was your second aunt who scratched your third aunt's face. Your second aunt has been grief-stricken these days and angered your elder brother. In order to avoid your second aunt, your eldest brother chose to leave Beijing to relax. It is reasonable for you not to help your second aunt, but your third aunt has not offended you, and your grandmother will not let you suffer. The Houfu spent money on you for that ointment Buy it.”

The old lady has a kind face and soft eyes. She is not someone who would put anyone at a disadvantage.

It's a pity that Shen Wan is no longer the person who helped them count the money after being sold by them.

Didn’t the third wife offend her?

If she didn't expose some things, she would really pretend that she didn't know anything.

Buying ointment from her with money sounds like she really didn't suffer a loss, but don't forget that the ointment was given to her by the emperor. The gift from the emperor is priceless, and it cannot be bought or sold at will.

Furthermore, it is the third wife who needs ointment. Even if their relationship is bad, in the eyes of outsiders, the third wife is also her third aunt. Her aunt's face is injured and she needs ointment for treatment, but she still charges money, which is too cool.

And who will pay for it?

The second wife will definitely not do it, and the old lady will not be able to pay for the second wife to deal with the aftermath. In the end, it will not be taken from the company.

Although not all of the middle-aged children were born to the eldest son, the eldest son accounted for the majority, which meant that most of the money for the ointment was paid by her father. It was a beautiful thought.

Before, he only asked her for ointment. After she refused, the old lady not only wanted the ointment, but also wanted her reputation.

Shen Wan was clear at heart and said calmly, "I gave Third Aunt ointment to treat her face and I paid for it. If I spread the word, I can't be stabbed in the spine and say that I am blind when I see money. I only see money and no flesh and blood." .”

The old lady's hand fidgeting with the beads stopped for a moment and she said, "Grandma is too impatient and doesn't think well. That ointment..."

Shen Wan lightly shrugged, "I also wanted to help Third Aunt, but it was such an unlucky coincidence that the Emperor only gave me two boxes of ointment to remove scars. My ex-cousin injured her forehead at Huguo Temple, and Master Chen was scratched for saving her. If they hurt the back of their hand, I gave them the two boxes of ointment.”

Shen Wan looked helpless.

Shen Ying said angrily, "The ointment is gone. Why didn't you tell me when I went to find you?!"

Shen Wan looked at Shen Ying, "Second sister, do you think I really want to talk to you? Last time I went to Prince Ling's Mansion to gloat about my misfortune, this time I went to get ointment from me. I told you clearly that I couldn't give it to you, and even complained to my grandmother. Call me back, second sister, you don't have to be busy with things in Prince Jin's palace, I'm not as free as you."

Yin Shuang stood behind Shen Wan, watching Shen Ying's expression change, and tried not to laugh out loud.

When it comes to stabbing with knives, her princess is as good as anyone.

It's not that the second aunt's grandmother isn't busy with the affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion, she can't be busy even if she wants to, and Queen Song and Prince Jin won't let her interfere.

It was probably because she was too free that she bothered to cause trouble for her princess.

Shen Wan slapped Shen Ying in the face, and the old lady looked very unhappy. She asked, "I have also heard about the Yun family. How is the injury on Miss Yun's forehead?"

Shen Wan didn't think much and replied, "Fortunately it's not serious."

The old lady said, "It's not serious. The half box of ointment is enough."

Shen Wan's eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard these words. The old lady didn't say it clearly, but anyone with long ears in the room could tell that she wanted Yun Moyun to give half of the box to the third wife.

After all, he has a thick skin of fifty or sixty years.

Shen Wan tried her best to endure it, so she didn't spit out the fragrance. She suppressed her anger and said, "What if it's not enough? The Yun family cares about me. They think of me for any good things. I gave my cousin a box of ointment and sent someone to go there." I want half a box back, but my grandma is thinking about my third aunt, and she doesn’t worry about my grandpa and grandma at all!”

Shen Wan was usually dissatisfied with the old lady and had a lot of patience, but today she really couldn't bear it anymore. She had seen selfish people, but never such a shameless one. She didn't have the nerve to think that in her place, the third wife could compete with the Yun family. She was compared to him and even asked her to break the Yun family's heart for the third wife.

Shen Wan could not believe that when she was young, the old lady would give up a good marriage and marry her grandfather to repay her kindness.

The old lady didn't expect that Shen Wan would openly contradict her in front of a room full of maids and women, and she couldn't help but turn pale. Shen Ying added fuel to the fire, "Not to mention that in the heart of the eldest sister, the third aunt is not as good as the Yun family, I'm afraid Even my grandmother can’t compare.”

Don't say it with your mouth. It's best to have this self-knowledge in your heart. Don't come to her if something happens, and don't come to her if nothing happens.

However, Shen Wan did not say these words, and the old lady was so angry that she fell ill. Her father would scold her. Shen Wan said to Shen Ying, "Second sister, if you want to sincerely deal with the aftermath of the second aunt, you should go to the queen now."

After saying that, Shen Wan stood up and said to the old lady, "Before leaving the mansion, Prince Ling asked me to go back early, so I won't stay any longer. I will go to Qinglan Garden to get something and then go back."

The old lady didn't try to stay, and Shen Wan was so blessed that she left without looking back.

Watching Shen Wan go out, Shen Ying twisted her embroidered handkerchief and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, the queen doesn't like me anymore. If I go to her again to ask for ointment, she will annoy me even more."

After all, it's not that her father doesn't have military power. If Marquis Pingyang were her father, the King of Jin would not give Fu Shuping the position of his wife, and the Queen would not treat her with a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes.

Thinking that they had sacrificed so much and got nothing in the end, and even helped save the second brother's life, and that her mother had to fight with the third aunt to save the second brother's flesh and blood, Shen Ying's eyes were red, and her tears were like broken beads. Fall down.

When the old lady saw Shen Ying crying, she became more and more impatient, "She asked you to go find the queen, will you do it?! No matter what method you use, you must get the ointment back to me."

After saying this, the old lady held Mrs. Wang's hand and returned to the inner room.

The relationship between the second and third parties was so tense all because of Shen Ying. If she couldn't get even a little ointment, the old lady would be extremely disappointed.

The old lady had never said such serious words to Shen Ying. Shen Ying also knew that she had let the old lady down, but where could she go to get the ointment, and who could she get it from?

She didn't know what she thought of, but Shen Ying's eyes that were blurred by tears lit up. She quickly wiped away her tears, motioned for the maid to come over, and whispered a few instructions.

The maid nodded repeatedly and turned around to go out.

As for Shen Wan, she left Qinghui Courtyard and walked towards Qinglan Court where she lived before getting married.

However, she did not take the usual path, but walked through a small path. She was walking on the same path where Shen Rong's accident happened. With Chen Yu secretly protecting her, Shen Wan felt very relieved.

There were green trees on both sides of the path, and the breeze blew away some of the anger that had settled in Shen Wan's heart.

Halfway through, Dong'er ran over with her skirt in hand. Yinshuang saw her and scolded her, "Why are you running so fast?"

Dong'er ran over and opened her mouth to speak, but before the words came out, she looked around defensively.

Yin Shuang saw it and said, "Don't worry, few people came here before, and now that the incident with Third Aunt and Grandma happened, no one comes even more."

Dong'er then said with relief, "I just heard some big news."

Shen Wan asked, "What news?"

Dong'er said, "Just now the two maids were chatting, and the slave overheard a few words. The two maids said that what Hongkui was carrying in her belly was most likely not the second young master's seed..."

Yinshuang's eyes widened, "Hongkui is the maid in the second young master's yard. What she is carrying is not the second young master's child. Who else could it be?"

Dong'er said, "It's said to belong to the second master..."

As soon as Dong'er spoke, Shen Wan scolded her, "Don't talk nonsense! Second uncle is not such a person!"

Dong'er was reprimanded and said aggrievedly, "It's not the slave who said that. It was the maid who said she saw Hong Kui coming out of the second master's study in disheveled clothes a month ago, and that's why she had such suspicion..."

Shen Wan said, "I don't care what other people say, but you are my maids, and I won't allow you to spread such rumors."

Dong'er admitted her mistake obediently, "I will remember the princess's lesson."

Yinshuang raised her hand as if to swear, "I promise not to say a word to you."

Shen Wan only scolded them and continued to move forward.

After they left, a maid in a light green dress walked out from behind the big tree where they were hugging each other. Her face showed the shock of hearing the shocking gossip. She quickly left the other side of the path and walked quickly towards the Buddhist hall. .

When the maid left, Yin Shuang looked back and said, "I don't know if she is the maid from the second room or the third room..."

Shen Wan didn't care which maid it was.

All she wanted was for this matter to reach the ears of the second wife.

The old lady tried her best to suppress this matter, and even put the idea on her head, so don't blame her for lighting up the fire again, causing chaos in the Hou family and making her father think about dividing the family.
