Shen Ying smiled and said, "It's not enough for Fourth Aunt to thank me verbally."

The implication is that the thank you gift should be given in a serious manner.

When it comes to pulling things in and out of hands, no one is better than Shen Ying.

The Fourth Wife was unstoppable.

Shen Wan really didn't like Shen Ying's behavior and said to Shen Wei, "Just apply some vegetable oil on the forehead and it can be washed away. For the injuries on the face, it's best to ask an imperial doctor to take a look."

Shen Wei really felt Shen Wan's concern and nodded, "I saw the doctor at the Wei Guogong Mansion."

The old lady was worried, so the fourth lady took Shen Wei to Qinghui Courtyard first.

Seeing the injuries on Shen Wei's face, the old lady felt distressed, "Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, otherwise her beautiful face would have been disfigured if she had been hit so hard."

The old lady sighed and asked the fourth lady to take Shen Wei back, but left behind the maid who followed Shen Wei to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

The old lady asked the maid, "Besides the fourth girl, are there any other ladies going to the Duke of Wei's mansion to enjoy the flowers today?"

The maid nodded, "There are also the three girls from the residence of Mr. Zhao, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, the second girl from the residence of Mr. Liu, the Minister of Household Affairs, and..."

The maid counted five or six ladies in one breath.

Three of them were direct descendants and three were concubines.

The girls who were born directly had similar family backgrounds, and those who were born as concubines were of higher family backgrounds, but overall they were similar. In order not to affect the inheritance of the title by the legitimate eldest grandson, Mrs. Wei Guogong also carefully selected a successor for her son.

The second wife said, "Miss Zhao San from the Hanlin Academy is good at calligraphy, and Miss Liu from the House of Minister of Household Affairs is good at playing the pipa, and..."

"The fourth girl has no chance of winning against a few of them."

If she were the wife of Wei Guogong, she would definitely not choose the fourth girl.

The old lady picked up the teacup, fiddled with it gently and said, "It is a blessing among misfortunes to be able to come back with my beard and tail intact. How can I dare to expect anything else?"

"That's what the old lady said," the second lady nodded repeatedly.

From their faces, Shen Wan could not see that they had any expectations for Shen Wei, or in other words, Shen Wei was playing into their hands by not being selected. What they said sounded nice, but in fact they were selfish to the core. It’s no exaggeration to say that you have sweet words and a sword in your belly.

Shen Wan didn't stay for a while before returning to Qinglan Garden. After lunch, the fourth wife sent her personal maid to deliver a pair of hostas.

Shen Wan looked at the maid, "What is Fourth Aunt doing?"

The maid said, "Thanks to the eldest girl, the fourth girl is fine today. The fourth wife is grateful to you and specially ordered the slave to send it. When the fourth girl is well, she will come to express her gratitude to the eldest girl in person."

After a pause, the maid added, "I also sent it to the second girl."

If she wanted to be normal, she would definitely wait until Shen Wei's face recovered and go out to pick out some jewelry before expressing her gratitude to Shen Wan. However, Shen Ying was impatient and couldn't wait to ask for a thank you gift at the second door. The fourth wife gave it to Shen Ying. It didn't make sense to send it to Shen Wan, so I sent the maid to deliver it.

But Shen Wan confiscated it, so she asked the maid to take the hosta back, "Sisters of Yifu, it would be too disrespectful to say thank you for such a small thing."

"But……"

The maid refused to take it back, so Shen Wan said, "If you convey it truthfully, Fourth Aunt will not blame you."

The maid took the things back as she had brought them.

The next day, Shen Wan went to greet the old lady. When Shen Ying saw her, she said, "The fourth aunt gave the eldest sister a pair of hostas. Why did the eldest sister confiscate it?"

Shen Wan looked at Shen Ying, pretending to be surprised and said, "Second sister won't accept it, right?"

Of course she accepted it, she deserved it.

Without her bump, Shen Weike would have been disfigured. For such a great kindness, she felt that two hostas were too few.

Looking at Shen Ying's taken-for-granted look, Shen Wan thought about how Shen Ying had repeatedly asked her to repay Xie Jingyin's life-saving grace in her previous life. She was so eager to repay this kindness. How about she help Shen Wei today? If I take it off, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in full in the future. Shen Wan said, "Although my mask prevented the fourth sister from disaster, if you think about it carefully, if it hadn't been for me to draw crooked flowers, she might not have encountered this disaster at all. I Why are you embarrassed to accept a thank you gift?"

She was embarrassed. If Shen Ying was embarrassed, she would be too thick-skinned.

After all, Shen Wan underestimated Shen Ying's shamelessness. Shen Ying said confidently, "The eldest sister said it herself, and it was such a coincidence. There were so many ladies there, but only the fourth sister wore a mask. She was the only one who was almost injured. I believe this is due to destiny."

After saying that, Shen Ying shook the old lady's arm and said, "Grandma, do you think so?"

The old lady smiled and patted Shen Ying's hand, "Yes, your fourth sister is safe because of your blessing."

Shen Wan's arms were covered with goosebumps, and she was almost nauseous from the meal she just ate in the morning.

Shen Wan couldn't stay any longer and was about to return to Qinglan Garden. At this time, a maid came in and announced, "Old madam, Mrs. Wei Guogong is here."

Mrs. Wei Guogong must have come to apologize for Shen Wei's injury at Wei Guogong's residence.

The old lady said, "Please come in, Mrs. Wei Guogong."

The maid left, and after a while, Mrs. Wei Guogong came in.

Mrs. Wei Guogong looked apologetic and said, "Yesterday, I invited the four girls in my family to my Wei Guogong's house to enjoy the flowers. I didn't expect that such an accident would happen and the four girls were frightened. I feel really sorry from the bottom of my heart."

The old lady asked Mrs. Wei Guogong to sit down, and then said, "My husband didn't do it on purpose. Fortunately, it's not serious. Mrs. Wei Guogong deserves to feel guilty."

Mrs. Wei Guogong sat down and flattered the old lady and said, "I think the fourth girl is very lucky. If it were someone else, she would have been carried out of my Duke Wei's house yesterday."

If you are really lucky, you won't encounter such bad things.

The old lady also knew that Mrs. Wei Guogong only paid lip service to it. People said it casually, and if she listened casually, no one would take it seriously.

Since she came to apologize, she had to bring a gift of apology. Mrs. Wei Guogong brought a lot of things. In addition to the supplements, silk and satin and jewelry for Shen Wei, she also brought a ginseng and some cordyceps to the old lady.

Looking at those things, Shen Wan raised her eyebrows slightly. In the previous life, Shen Wei was so seriously injured. Mrs. Wei Guogong also gave these things, and she only brought a stick of ginseng to the old lady. In this life, Shen Wei's injuries were much lighter, but I also brought Cordyceps sinensis to the old lady.

Shen Wan was a little confused about what Mrs. Wei Guogong was doing.

Shouldn’t the more severe the injury, the more compensation?

Why is it the other way around...

Mrs. Wei Guogong chatted with the old lady for a while. Her words were full of guilt. She was worried and went to see Shen Wei.

After Mrs. Wei Guogong left, Princess Shou also came. Shen Wei came to apologize for her son's naughty nature and almost serious injury. The apology gift she gave was similar to that of Mrs. Wei Guogong. It seemed that the apology gift given by Mrs. Wei Guogong was too heavy. After all, the accident was not from the Duke of Wei's house. According to this, to the Duke of Wei, the young prince of Prince Shou's Palace is also a guest.
