The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family
Chapter 195 Arrested
The daughter of the Shen family...
She only mentioned this name in the note she left for the other person when she rescued someone in the back mountain of Lingyan Temple that day.
Her whole family is here so soon?
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Qiyin immediately asked his servants to invite the person to the main hall.
However, what surprised her a little was that the person who came was not the man who was injured that day, but a young girl.
The silk dress is as white as snow, and the precious bun is as thick as clouds.
She is as beautiful as a flower and as energetic as autumn water.
When their eyes met, she stood up quickly and said, "Greetings, Mr. Xiangjun."
"Miss, there's no need to be so polite." Shen Qiyin carefully searched through the memories of his past and present lives and found that he did not recognize the person in front of him: "May I ask what your name is, Miss?"
"My name is Huo Wanqing."
Huo...
She knew that there were several families with the surname "Huo", but the only one with a grand carriage and a large crowd of people was probably the Huo family, to which General Weiyuan Huo Chongguang belonged.
There are two branches in the Huo family. I wonder which side she belongs to?
After explaining her identity, Huo Wanqing took out a note from her sleeve.
Shen Qiyin took it and looked at it, and found that it was the one she left for the injured person that day.
The former explained: "The man whom Xiangjun saved that day was my elder brother."
"Thanks to the gentleman for taking the trouble to treat me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
As she spoke, she signaled to the maid behind her, and two little servant girls came forward, each holding a tray.
When the red cloth was lifted, one could see that the two trays were filled with silver, neatly stacked.
Shen Qiyin smiled slightly and said politely, "Miss Huo, your gift is too generous."
"This is a matter of life and death, it's not a joke. One portion of this money is for the consultation fee, and the other portion is for a thank you gift. You deserve both." Huo Wanqing personally took a tray and handed it to her: "I hope you won't despise it."
"Of course not."
This gift is exactly what she wanted.
After collecting the medical fee, Shen Qiyin asked Xianglan to take the jade pendant that she had taken away without permission that day and return it to Huo Wanqing.
When the latter accepted the jade pendant, he said, "My brother should have come to thank me personally, but he is not fully recovered yet and cannot go out."
"Besides, we have to retrieve the jade pendant. We are afraid that people who don't know the situation may misunderstand us and bring trouble to the reputation of the township lord."
"So after thinking it over, I think it would be safer for me to act on my brother's behalf."
"Also..."
Having said this, Huo Wanqing suddenly paused.
Shen Qiyin: "Miss, please feel free to speak."
"My brother has an old illness, and I would like to ask the village master to examine him." Huo Wanqing frowned slightly, with a sad look in her eyes: "Let's see if there is any possibility of recovery."
"Say 'but'."
Huo Wanqing looked up in surprise, as if somewhat surprised that she knew that she had something to say next.
Shen Qiyin said calmly: "If it was just a diagnosis, you wouldn't be so embarrassed."
"...Indeed." Huo Wanqing smiled bitterly and said, "My brother's arm was injured on the battlefield a few years ago. Now he can't even hold a pen. The military doctor at the time said that he was lucky to be able to save his life."
"Later, when I returned to Beijing, I also saw the imperial physician, but he said there was no way."
"My brother completely gave up hope. Even if someone recommended a famous doctor to him, he would not see him."
"My family couldn't bear to see him disappointed again and again, so gradually, they stopped talking about it."
When Huo Wanqing talked about this, her eyes turned slightly red.
Shen Qiyin listened quietly.
After calming down a little, Huo Wanqing said, "In fact, I have heard before that you cured the third son of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, so I wanted to ask you to treat my brother's injury."
"Now, you accidentally saved him again, so I was thinking, maybe it was destined."
"But I don't know what the diagnosis result is yet. I don't want to disappoint my brother. I hope you can go to the general's mansion in the name of my friend. This will reduce my brother's vigilance."
"Then we can quietly check his pulse while he's taking a nap in the afternoon."
If it can be cured, I will tell you frankly.
if……
It also saves him from being disappointed again and adding to his troubles.
After Huo Wanqing finished explaining her plan, she looked at Shen Qiyin cautiously and asked her uncertainly, "I wonder if you are willing?"
She was afraid that she would not want to be so secretive when treating patients.
But Miss Shen was not so particular: "When do you want me to come over?"
"You, you agreed?!" Huo Wanqing couldn't hide her excitement.
"Ah."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!" She thought for a moment and said, "If you are free, let's go in seven days."
I think by that time, my sister-in-law had also returned from the temple.
With her around, there would be no conflicts.
After seeing Huo Wanqing off, Shen Qiyin put the two piles of silver into a bag and asked Chusi to carry it to the carriage without ever bringing it home.
When Shen Cang learned about this, he felt a little unhappy.
At this moment, Li Zhenzhu said, "Your daughter is more capable than you, her father..."
Shen Cang looked embarrassed, but didn't dare to retort.
He sat dejectedly with his face red, swollen and scratched, and suddenly lost his passion and hope for life.
Li Zhenzhu grabbed a handful of melon seeds in her hand, ate them, and spat them out, saying in a commanding manner, "You are a grown man, why don't you go out and find a job? Why do you stay at home all the time?"
Hearing this, Shen Cang said in embarrassment: "It costs a lot to open a clinic."
"Who asked you to open a clinic?"
"What else can you do if you don't open a clinic?"
"Carrying sandbags at the dock, running errands and delivering letters, or at the very least being a waiter or pouring nightshade liquor, aren't these all jobs?" Li Zhenzhu had an expression that said, "How come you didn't even think of this?"
Shen Cang looked like he was struck by lightning.
He was too lazy to mention other things, but how could she say "pouring night fragrance"?
He was an imperial physician, even though he is not one now, but there is no way he would be reduced to pouring night scents for people. It would be better to kill him!
Seeing that he seemed unwilling, Li Zhenzhu further said: "I can tell you that these jobs don't cost a penny!"
"And if you do it, you can earn money immediately."
"While your body is still strong and you can run and jump, and you still have some strength, why don't you go out and make money?"
"Oh, Madam..." Shen Cang explained, bowing his head, "We still have several thousand taels of silver in our family. We just received the betrothal gift from the Marquis of Jianning's mansion the other day. There will also be a marriage with Qiyin in the future. It is enough for our family to enjoy endlessly."
"fart!"
Li Zhenzhu threw a handful of melon seeds in his face and cursed loudly: "You're just sitting there eating up all the food and then waiting to have nothing to eat?"
Seeing that Li Zhenzhu was getting more and more anxious, Shen Cang was afraid that she would come over and take a few more of his hands if she disagreed with him, so he quickly changed his words and said, "...No, no, Madam, please don't be angry."
"I'm just going out to find a job, don't be angry."
Hey……
孽 孽!
But after just one day, he began to miss Jiang Wan's gentleness and kindness.
Afraid that if he stayed any longer, Li Zhenzhu would start trouble again, Shen Cang made an excuse to go out and find work and hid away.
But he was used to being idle, so how could he be diligent in a short period of time?
Even if he really had to work, he would definitely not go to pour night incense for others.
Forced into a corner, he simply spent his money to open a clinic.
So before returning home that day, Shen Cang made a special trip to the Tongbao Money House, intending to take out a portion of Sun's dowry so that he could deal with that fierce woman at any time.
Who knows——
When he took the tickets to Tongbao Money House, he was told that they were all fake!
Shen Cang didn't believe it at first, and he stuck his neck out to argue with the other person. The two sides argued endlessly and almost got into a fight.
The shopkeeper there immediately reported the matter to the authorities.
When Shen Cang saw this, he finally realized what was happening, but he still couldn't figure out how a good ticket could have become fake?
"The Lord of Heaven will decide!" If this crime is proven, he will be sent to prison, so Shen Cang quickly defended himself: "This, this ticket is not mine."
"This is Sun..."
Shen Cang originally wanted to say that it was given to him by Sun.
But once she mentioned the other party, the prefect of Jingzhao would have to summon her for questioning.
But how could she let outsiders see her horrible appearance now!
On the other hand, he was also afraid that she would say something she shouldn't, and if that happened, another crisis would come and he would really be dead.
But if he doesn't give that bitch away, he will be guilty of this crime.
For a moment, Shen Cang was in a dilemma, angry and anxious, and almost bit his teeth off.
Finally, under the repeated questioning of the Jingzhao prefect, he had no choice but to lie and said, "Yes, I picked it up from the ground. I was so obsessed with money that I wanted to get something for nothing."
"I will never dare to do that again."
"Please forgive me, sir."
His attitude of admitting his mistake was sincere, but the court is a place for reason, not a place for attitude.
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor: "You said you picked up this ticket, but you have no evidence."
"grown ups……"
"But considering that this is your first offense, I can let you off the hook."
Shen Cang was overjoyed when he heard this!
But before his smile spread to his eyes, he heard the other party continue: "The original sentence of imprisonment will be commuted to twenty strokes of the cane, as a lesson for you."
The tone of the Jingzhao prefect's voice seemed to have given him a great gift, but to Shen Cang's ears, it sounded like a ghost demanding his life.
He is not a tough warrior. Twenty strokes of the cane! Wouldn't that kill him?
Seeing the two officers walking towards him with fierce eyes, Shen Cang's face turned pale with fear and he stammered, "Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life."
"I can pay the money. I can pay the money. Please forgive me, sir."
There is such an unwritten rule in the government.
If the crime is minor and the offender is a woman or an elderly person, the presiding official may use financial means to exempt the offender from punishment at his discretion.
Although Shen Cang was not among them, the Jingzhao prefect had heard of Shen Qiyin, so he showed some leniency and said, "Well, considering your sincere repentance, I will grant your request."
The fine is fifty taels, not a penny less.
Shen Cang quickly asked someone to go home and get the silver.
Even though Old Madam Shen had a quarrel with her son before, her first reaction when she heard that he was going to be beaten was to find a way to rescue him.
"Quick, take the silver!"
But after the words fell, no one moved.
The reason is simple, where does the money come from?
The little money left in the family was used by Shen Cang to buy the betrothal gifts. The only extra money he had was the ticket that he kept like a treasure, but it turned out to be fake.
Therefore, looking at this family right now, there is not even fifty taels of silver.
Old Madam Shen made a prompt decision and said to Li Zhenzhu, "Why don't you take out your dowry and go save people?"
The latter laughed coldly and said, "I deserve it?"
"He's your man!"
"He's still your son." Li Zhenzhu didn't seem anxious at all, and said slowly: "Besides, I have more than one man, but you seem to have only this one son."
What he meant was, let's see who is more anxious between us.
For a moment, Old Madam Shen didn't know what she said to make her angry.
She originally thought that Shen Qiyin was difficult enough to deal with, but she didn't expect that that Hun Bulin couldn't be subdued, and now here came another ghost. She really didn't know what sins their Shen family had committed in their previous life.
Jiang Wan also rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling, he took the opportunity to say, "Old Madam and Madam, please stop talking about your anger. It is more important to rescue the master first."
Li Zhenzhu rolled her eyes. "You interrupt people wherever they are talking, you fart and you show your teeth wherever they are farting. Why are you everywhere?"
"lady……"
"Since you can talk, why don't you use the money to save people?"
Jiang Wan lowered his eyes, looking pitiful: "No need for you, Madam. If I had the money, I would have gone there long ago."
"Why are you talking to me here without me? I didn't slap you hard enough yesterday, did I?"
Jiang Wan pursed his lips, feeling depressed.
After all, she was the daughter of an official family and had never heard such vulgar words before. She did not dare to speak again.
Old Madam Shen was so anxious that she kept poking the ground with her walking stick: "Just think of it as us borrowing it from you, can't you just pay it back? When Yan Lin comes back, I'll ask him to pay you back the full amount!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Li Zhenzhu was not moved at all: "You can't come up with the money now, but you can come up with it when he comes back?"
"If I really pay this fifty taels, I'm afraid it will be like 'throwing meat buns at a dog, and it will never come back'."
"You are so heartless and ungrateful. Are you still a human being?" Old Madam Shen was so angry that she said without thinking: "If it had been later, Yan Lin would have been beaten to death!"
"If he really died, that means this is his fate. You have to accept it. If you forcibly interfere, it will be against heaven. When the time comes, maybe heaven will take you away too."
"you……"
"Also, let me make it clear that if he dies, I will remarry. Don't expect me to remain faithful to him. I can't do that at all."
Old Madam Shen was out of breath and almost fell ahead of Shen Cang.
Jiang Wan came forward to support her, constantly stroking her chest to help her calm down, and looked at Li Zhenzhu with a look of grief and indignation on his face: "The master is still here, why did the lady say such unlucky words? She should also know how to avoid prophecies."
"You care about him so much, how about when he dies, I arrange for you to be buried with him?"
"you!"
Jiang Wan couldn't get any benefit from Li Zhenzhu. She rolled her eyes and changed her words, "Old Madam, calm down. In this situation, you have to make a decision."
Madam Shen bullied the weak and feared the strong: "It's easy for you to say that! A good cook cannot cook without rice. What can I do?"
"We all have no money, but have you forgotten? Isn't there so much silver in the second young lady's room? Let's use it for now."
