Shen Wan was in a good mood when he woke up in the morning. After hearing Yin Shuang's report, his mood became even better.

The second wife is no longer young. She has not been pregnant again for more than ten years after giving birth to Shen Ying. The hope of giving the second master another child is slim. In addition, with the second master Naohua, there is a rift between the two, which makes it even more impossible. .

Otherwise, the old lady would not have ignored the second wife's feelings and just stuffed people into the second master's room.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together for many years, and the old lady still doesn't understand the second wife. She is also heartbroken when her grandson is gone, but one cannot dwell on the past and must look forward. She cannot leave the second master without an offspring.

The second wife couldn't tolerate the child in Hongkui's belly, so there was nothing to say about the child born by other maids.

Knowing that the second wife is petty and still doing something that hurts her heart, can the second wife watch helplessly as the family fortune she earned ends up being advantaged by the bastard?

There will be some excitement in the second room from now on.

Shen Wan got off the bed. She had freshened up, and Xie Jingyan also came back from morning exercise.

After breakfast, Shen Wan took Yinshuang and Dong'er back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion in a carriage. She would find out whoever went to Yun's house to get the ointment under the guise of her name.

It happened that she was having a rest today and Shen Jing was also in the house, so Shen Wan went directly to the study to find her father.

In the study room.

Shen Jing was dealing with military affairs. Although he was resting and didn't have to go to the military camp, he still had a lot of things to be busy with.

While he was busy, there was a knock on the door, "Master Hou, my aunt is looking for you."

Wan'er is looking for him?

"Let her in."

The boy pushed the door open and Shen Wan stepped in.

Shen Jing put down the wolf-hair pen in his hand and said, "Didn't you just come back yesterday? Why are you back again? Do you have anything to do with dad?"

Shen Wan nodded and said, "Grandma called me back yesterday and asked me to give a box of the ointment for removing scars that the emperor gave me to my third aunt. But I gave the ointment to my cousin and Young Master Chen. Grandma asked me to find it with my cousin. Half a box is given to the third aunt, but I don’t agree.”

"But I didn't expect that after I refused, someone would go to Yun's house under my guise and take away half a box of ointment!"

Shen Wan looked angry.

Shen Jing's face also darkened.

Shen Wan said, "If I didn't know this was too late yesterday, I would have come back yesterday, and this time I just asked for half a box of ointment in my name. Otherwise, I would be severely punished. Next time I might go to the Yun family in the name of my daughter." What do you want?"

All along, Shen Jing has not allowed the Hou Mansion to ask for things from the Yun family, not even covertly or overtly. It is even less likely that someone would ask for things from the Yun family under the guise of Shen Wan.

No matter who it is, it won’t work!

Shen Jing stood up with a cold face, and Shen Wan followed Shen Jing to Qinghui Courtyard.

In the house, the old lady was sitting on the Arhat couch, her face was pale and she was restless.

When Mother Wang entered the room, the old lady asked, "How is the second child?"

Mother Wang said, "The blow was too heavy. After the second master fainted on his knees yesterday, he developed a high fever. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive without seeing a doctor..."

The old lady's heart was in her throat and she said urgently, "Go and invite the Marquis."

The maid didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to deliver the message. However, as soon as she reached the screen, the maid stepped back and said, "Old madam, the Marquis is here."

Before the maid finished speaking, Shen Jing had already stepped forward. The general who was decisive in killing on the battlefield had a serious look on his face, and he was afraid to express his anger.

The old lady didn't care why Shen Jing's face was so ugly. She didn't even see Shen Wan walking behind Shen Jing and said anxiously, "My second brother has a high fever. You've been beaten and punished." Yes, you can’t take his life.”

Shen Jing looked at the old lady and asked directly, "Did the old lady go to the Yun family to ask for ointment in Yun'er's name yesterday?"

The old lady's face stiffened and she said unhappily, "In the eyes of the Marquis, am I someone who would do such a demeaning thing?"

A rhetorical question, it turned out to be Shen Jing.

Shen Jing frowned.

Shen Wan said, "If it's not grandmother, then it's the third sister?"

The old lady's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "When the Yun family complained to you, didn't they tell you who took it?"

The word "complain" was emphasized very strongly, and it was obvious that the Yun family was annoyed.

In their eyes, the Yun family wouldn't ask Shen Wan for half a box of ointment, and even if they asked, it wouldn't be now.

Shen Wan said unexpectedly, "The Yun family doesn't know who it is, otherwise I wouldn't have to check and just look for her."

The old lady's eyes lingered on Shen Wan's face for a long time, and then Mrs. Wang smoothed things over and said, "Why don't you send someone to ask the third wife?"

The old lady didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Mother Wang called a maid to handle this matter, "Go and ask the third wife and ask someone to invite a doctor into the house."

As expected of the old lady's most trusted person, she included the matter of hiring a doctor for the second master among her affairs.

Go to the third wife and ask, can the third wife confess the old lady or Shen Ying?

But it doesn't matter if they can't ask, she will let them avoid asking.

The maid came back quickly and said, "Old madam, the third wife said that no one had given her any ointment. When the servant went to ask, the third wife was still very angry."

The old lady looked at Shen Wan, "If you don't have any evidence, just complain to your father. It's just a matter of doubting your grandmother. Your second sister is now the Princess of Jin. You falsely accused her and it spread to..."

Before the old lady could finish speaking, Shen Wan interrupted her and said, "I was too impatient and acted improperly. Since the ointment taken from the Yun family was not used by Third Aunt, I don't have to worry. "

The old lady frowned and asked, "What are you worried about?"

Shen Wan blinked her eyes before saying, "The maid of the Yun family was negligent. She got the wrong ointment yesterday. She gave the ointment that my cousin had used to pretend to be sick to cause rashes on her face and gave it to the maid. My cousin only found out in the evening. The wrong medicine was given, so my second cousin went to Prince Ling’s Mansion to look for me in a hurry, only to find out that I had not sent anyone to the Yun family to get the ointment.”

"I'm worried that my third aunt used that ointment and got a rash on her poisoned face. She rushed back early in the morning. Since I misunderstood, I don't need to keep the antidote my second cousin gave me."

The old lady squeezed the prayer beads in her hand tightly. She stared at Shen Wan's face, wanting to know whether Shen Wan was telling the truth or trying to scare her.

She didn't believe that the Yun family's maid could be so negligent in doing things, but it was the third wife who denied the ointment. She had no evidence, so she came out like this to prevent them from exposing themselves.

The old lady's face remained unchanged as she said, "I'll ask the Yun family to get the ointment in your name. If you don't cause trouble for her, you've already done your best. There's no need to leave the antidote for her..."

Before he finished speaking, a maid ran in from outside and said urgently, "Old madam, it's not good. I don't know what happened to the third wife's face, she has a lot of rashes..."

The maid arrived just in time, and the old lady's expression suddenly changed.

Shen Wan felt like laughing.

Could she not know that without complete evidence, the old lady and Shen Ying would deny it to the end, or even bite back and accuse her of ruining their reputation?

If there is no evidence, she can't create it herself?

The ointment was clearly in the hands of the third wife. It would not be too troublesome for Chen Yu to come over at night and put some medicine into the ointment.

Want an antidote?

Let’s first confess to going to Yun’s house to get ointment under the guise of her name!
