Seeing that Shen Shuyi showed no mercy at all, Nanny Zhang straightened her back. She had already made up her mind to vent her anger on Hongying, and she was not afraid of losing face at this moment.

"Miss, you are young and haven't learned any rules. It's normal for you to misunderstand me, but I still have to say what I should say! I still have to do what I should do!"

Shen Shuyi said calmly: "Really? So what is Madam going to do?"

After she finished speaking, Nanny Zhang stepped forward, took away the two meat dishes on the table, and poured them into the food box.

"Madam Zhang, you are so brave!" Yuping was very angry and spoke angrily.

Nanny Zhang remained calm and said confidently, "Young lady has just recovered from a serious illness and is not suitable for eating greasy food. You should save these things for later."

Yuping was so angry that her eyes turned red. She could see that Nanny Zhang came here just to cause trouble.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell Madam. I have behaved uprightly and will accept punishment even if Madam wants to!"

Shen Shuyi curled her lips and immediately lost her appetite: "Since Mammy said so, I won't eat this meal."

After that, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Yuping and said, "Yuping, accompany me for a walk."

"Yes."

As soon as the two left, Nanny Zhang sat down unceremoniously, glanced at the food on the low table, and sneered.

So what, miss?

She is alone and powerless, so she still has to depend on herself, right?

While Shen Shuyi was away, Nanny Zhang got up and looked through Shen Shuyi's makeup box. There were very few things in it, and nothing of good quality, so it was not worth much money at all.

Then she changed her mind and flipped through the books on Shen Shuyi's desk.

She was not very literate and could only recognize two book titles. However, there was no handwriting of Shen Shuyi on the table, so she could not judge anything and could only observe for a few more days.

"Someone, take away the food." Nanny Zhang said in a deep voice.

The maid who came with her immediately stepped forward to clean up the food, and then Aunt Zhang said, "Tell the kitchen manager to tell him that the second young lady's meals should be made to look good and light in the future."

"Yes."

On the other side, after Shen Shuyi took Yuping away, Yuping couldn't help but say: "Madam Zhang is really too much, it's simply too much! If Madam were still here..."

As if realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have, Yuping stopped dead in her tracks.

Shen Shuyi looked calm, and couldn't help but think of his mother.

Zhao Derong was a very gentle woman, but unfortunately she died early, so Shen Shuyi didn't have much impression of her.

The deepest memory was probably when she was a child, she would often hold her in her arms, lie under the banyan tree in the yard, and fan her gently.

Or, after she and her brother had been playing wildly and were sweating profusely, he would gently wipe the sweat off her face and ask the maid to prepare a bowl of refreshing fruit soup for her.

For Shen Shuyi, who has lived two lives, the word "mother" is too far away from her.

But it is undeniable that Zhao Derong gave her irreplaceable warmth, which made her feel peaceful every time she recalled that time.

Unfortunately, it was not until she was about to die in her previous life that she realized that her mother’s death was not an accident, but a deliberate plot by Qin Xuerong.

Now, in her new life, she can finally avenge her and seek justice!

Seeing that Shen Shuyi remained silent for a long time, Yu Ping's eyes became moist: "Miss, this servant..."

Shen Shuyi smiled at her: "It's okay, I just thought of my mother."

"You're right. If she were still here, my brother and I would have lived two completely different lives. But now that she's gone, we can only rely on ourselves."

Yuping nodded, feeling particularly sorry for Shen Shuyi. She thought that the young lady had just had a few full meals, and then Nanny Zhang came to do this.

Shen Shuyi put away his thoughts and said gently, "Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"

Yuping quickly took out a not-so-delicate porcelain bottle from her waistband: "After drying, there aren't many left, so I only have one bottle."

"That's enough." Shen Shuyi reached out to take it, and when he saw the scratch on Yuping's palm, his eyes turned a little colder.

"Miss, are you hungry?" Yuping didn't care at all.

Shen Shuyi said, "The Buddhist temple is giving out free porridge and providing free medical consultation today. Let's go and take a look."

The Jade Buddha Temple provides free porridge and free medical consultations three times a month, with the location chosen halfway up the mountain.

The reason why it was chosen there was not because the Buddhist temple wanted to make things difficult for the people, but to eliminate those people who obviously have a good life but are unwilling to miss out on any opportunity.

After all, it takes at least two hours to travel from the capital to the halfway point of the mountain, and the mountain road is difficult to climb. Unless there is a real need, those who want to take advantage should carefully consider whether it is worth it.

Therefore, the people who really needed help would often wait at the foot of the mountain the day before, and would only start climbing the mountain once the monks appeared.

When Shen Shuyi and Yuping arrived, it was already late.

The porridge stall and the clinic stall had been set up long ago. The monks of the Jade Buddha Temple were divided into three groups: one group distributed porridge, one group who knew some pharmacology helped with diagnosis and treatment, and another group was responsible for maintaining order.

After all, although it is not a disaster year now, there is always a shortage of hungry people, and there is no shortage of vicious and cruel criminals.

Therefore, maintaining order is necessary.

Probably because it was close to noon and the sun was at its highest, there weren't many people queuing up.

People in tattered clothes, with gray hair and skinny bodies are everywhere. If these people did not appear right before your eyes, it would be hard to believe that this is the suburbs of Daqian's most prosperous capital.

The sufferings of all living beings are different.

Shen Shuyi turned and looked in the direction of the capital city. The place was prosperous. A meal of a prominent family was equivalent to the annual income of everyone here. A piece of clothing of an aristocratic lady was so gorgeous that it discouraged countless people.

The world is uneven and never fair.

"Go and treat the wound on your hand." Shen Shu noticed that there were not many people in the queue, so he spoke to Yuping in a gentle voice.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuping did not refuse and turned around to queue up.

Shen Shuyi found a quiet place in front of a few simple square tables and sat down.

At this moment, Xiao Tingshan and Wen Renzong appeared in an octagonal pavilion specially built on the other side of the mountain.

The octagonal pavilion was originally used for summer retreat, and was later renovated by a Buddhist temple. It is now quite exquisite.

At present, on the stone table carved with plum patterns in the pavilion, there is a set of exquisite purple clay tea sets, and rare fruits and cakes are displayed on it.

Unfortunately, the two owners had no appetite and neither of them moved.

Xiao Tingshan was wearing a silver-white brocade robe with pine and cypress patterns. He stood on the side of the octagonal pavilion, holding a folding fan in his hand, gazing at the movements at the Buddhist temple from afar, playing with it with some annoyance.

"No news yet?" He spoke slowly, his clear voice as gentle as jade.

"Don't worry, my lord. Since the spies have found out that someone has seen the ghost doctor's daughter in this area, there must be some clues left."
