Aunt Zhou's face froze.
The word "Qiyin" is really an usurpation of power.
However, Madam Shen had always lived a miserable life, and her two concubines did not take her seriously. Naturally, they did not take Shen Qiyin, the legitimate daughter, seriously either.
Mrs. Shen always said "A harmonious family brings prosperity" and advised her to keep things peaceful, so she rarely paid attention to their little thoughts.
But now, she has to find something to do even if there is nothing to do, not to mention that Aunt Zhou is walking into trouble!
"Although my aunt has the credit of giving birth to my eldest brother, she is still a concubine after all. It is not appropriate for her to call me by my name, right?" It would be fine if she didn't mention this kind of mistake, otherwise she would find it for sure.
Aunt Zhou: "I..."
"It doesn't matter to me, but if it gets out, people will laugh at my grandmother for not managing the household properly."
"What's worse, maybe those imperial censors will write a letter to impeach father, saying that he favors his concubine and ignores his wife. That would be terrible." Shen Qiyin frowned, looking very worried.
Although her tone was light, her words seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.
With such a big hat put on her, Aunt Zhou felt very uneasy.
She carefully glanced at the expressions of the old lady and Shen Cang, and sure enough, she saw that the faces of the two who had calmed down a little were now as black as the soles of shoes.
She hurriedly stood up, bowed to her honestly, and explained in a low voice: "Second Miss, please forgive me. I was impatient and spoke without restraint. I will never do that again in the future."
"If it's just a momentary anxiety, it's fine. I'm just worried that Auntie is so busy taking care of Father and Big Brother that she forgets the rules."
"Grandmother has always attached great importance to these things. She always restricts us according to the family rules of the big family. Auntie should also take her words to heart."
This means that Aunt Zhou no longer takes Old Madam Shen seriously.
She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "...I will always keep in mind the old lady's teachings."
"Really?" Old Madam Shen asked sarcastically. Without waiting for her answer, she said in a deep voice, "I think you have forgotten everything. Go back and copy the family rules a hundred times!"
"……Yes."
Aunt Zhou knelt on the ground with a wronged look on her face, and she dared not move unless someone called her to do so.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear to see Aunt Zhou being bullied, Shen Guangzong said with a scratched face, "I didn't see Second Sister just now. Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
"It's better not to mention it."
But he refused: "What can't you say? Did you go somewhere you shouldn't go without your father's knowledge?"
Hearing this, Shen Cang's eyes immediately swept over.
Shen Qiyin just looked at Shen Guangzong and said, "Brother, are you sure you want me to tell you?"
"…What's so uncertain!" He said this, but he felt inexplicably unsure in his heart, as if the girl's words were profound.
"Okay." Shen Qiyin seemed to have made some decision.
Then, under the confused or frightened gazes of the crowd, he slowly uttered three words.
"Guangren Hall."
Shen Guangzong breathed a sigh of relief and sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, Shen Cang became visibly displeased after hearing these three words, and asked angrily: "What are you doing there?!"
Shen Qiyin answered every question: "I sit in the clinic and prescribe medicine, I make money by treating illnesses."
"How dare you!" Shen Cang slammed the table and stood up in an instant: "As a girl, you don't stay in the mansion to wait for your marriage, but dare to run out and show your face. Who allowed you to go out?"
"Oh, Grandma allowed it."
Mrs. Shen, who was suddenly named, said: "..."
She felt a little guilty about this, otherwise she wouldn't have hidden it from Shen Cang.
It was no use denying it now.
She has always been in charge of this mansion, and there is no way Shen Qiyin could sneak out without alerting her.
Even if Shen Cang's brain was not strong enough, he could still figure this out.
So, she glared at Shen Qiyin and blamed her for talking nonsense. When she turned to face Shen Cang, her attitude was much softer, no longer as tough as before. She said: "The two brothers in the mansion are going to be officials in the future. It's a pity that your medical skills have no one to inherit. It's hard for the second girl to have this intention. She has this ability and can earn money to supplement the mansion. Why not do it?"
"Besides, I think she has some skills, otherwise why would even the Thousand Eagle Guards ask her to treat the disease?"
Shen Cang was obviously surprised: "Who?! Thousand Eagle Guards?"
"Yes." Seeing that his attitude had softened, Old Madam Shen perked up and spoke incessantly, "You may not know that the second girl has also obtained a badge that allows her to enter and leave the Eagle Nest Pavilion at will. That's quite something."
Old Madam Shen looked as if she was "proud of it".
But Shen Qiyin knew very well that the reason why she behaved so actively was because the two of them were now barely on the same boat.
The old lady just wanted to prove to Shen Cang that she was right to allow herself to practice medicine outside the house so as to avoid being blamed by him.
"Quick! Show that sign to your father."
"Yes." Shen Qiyin responded obediently, stepped forward and handed the badge he carried with him to Shen Cang for a closer look.
Holding the pure gold sign in his hand, Shen Cang read every word carefully.
The words "bear and deer" made him a little frightened.
Among the Thousand Eagle Guards, besides the highest commander Xiao Yan, there are the Thirteen Eagle Guards deputy envoys.
He was arrested and imprisoned that day, and it was the deputy envoy named "Xionglu" who led the people there.
He is tall and strong, just like a bear.
When he was taken to the cell, his arm was almost broken.
After returning this "hot potato" to Shen Qiyin, when Shen Cang looked at her again, there was obviously a bit more scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes, and his tone was not as cold and hard as before.
He asked her, "How did you get involved with the Thousand Eagle Guards?"
"It's just a coincidence."
Shen Qiyin briefly told the story of how he went to treat Qianxing's injuries.
For the first time, Shen Cang did not ask too many questions.
But he still maintained his dignity and disciplined her, saying, "Even if you are with the Thousand Eagle Guards, you should not disobey the rules of the mansion. How can a girl go out early and come back late?"
"Father, you misunderstood. I came back late not because I was seeing a doctor."
"Why is that?"
"Grandmother has been very worried about you lately. She has lost interest in eating and has lost a lot of weight."
"I heard that the snacks at Dongyue Tower are the most exquisite and delicious. I wanted to buy some osmanthus cake for my grandmother to try, but I didn't expect..."
She paused and saw Shen Guangzong's face suddenly freeze as she wished.
And... from beginning to end, the frightened looks of Aunt Zheng and others were so quiet that it was almost eerie.
