Chapter 161 Miss 8 fainted herself
Shen Wen was eating breakfast and chatting with Hubo when someone outside the door announced, "Mrs. Eighth Miss's wet nurse, Madam Nie, is here and waiting outside."
Shen Wen said, "Madame Nie? I remember there was a madam next to the Madam whose last name was Nie."
Amber said, "Yes, these two maids were originally brought by the eldest lady from her mother's home. They are sisters."
Shen Wen said: "Let her come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat woman with a square face came in.
The maid smiled and bowed to Shen Wen, saying, "I thought the young master was delayed in going to the Eighth Miss because of something important. I was asked to come and invite him personally, only to find out that the Seventeenth Young Master was lazy and stayed in bed, so he had breakfast so late."
Shen Wen said: "What's wrong? Is it illegal?"
The old woman was choked and pouted, "How much do you despise my daughter, young master? You asked me to come again and again."
The food in Shen Wen's mouth no longer smelled good. He put down his chopsticks and said, "How much does she despise me that she asked you servants to convey her orders to me over and over again?"
The old woman's face darkened even more. Although she relied on her daughter's status, she also knew that the current Seventeenth Young Master was not easy to mess with. The old woman had to smile and said, "How could that be true? It's really that the Eighth Young Master has something to ask the Seventeenth Young Master. Young Master, please don't embarrass us. You should go with me."
Shen Wen lazily leaned back in his chair and said, "I can't go. I'm very busy. The old marquis has also sent someone to invite me. I have to go to my grandfather first. If she really has something urgent, she can go to other young masters."
The old woman stared at Shen Wen for a moment, then stomped her feet and left.
Amber handed Shen Wen tea and said, "Sir, why are you so rude? After all, she is your own sister. You have to give her and her mother-in-law some face. Sir, you know that this eighth lady has always been spoiled. A few days ago, she was given a plaque and was ordered to serve in the palace on auspicious days. She is the noble lady. When we meet again in the future, not to mention you, even the old marquis will have to pay his respects and ask for protection."
Shen Wen uttered a "huh" sound and said with disdain: "She is like that? She is lucky to have survived a month in the palace. I am afraid that by then..."
Shen Wen was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of what he had talked about with that tyrant yesterday.
That’s not right!
That tyrant kept saying that he couldn't touch a woman! What did he say at that time?
Didn’t you say you had a strange disease?
She had only met the tyrant emperor twice and really didn't understand him, so Shen Wen put aside this question.
He also asked Amber about what happened to the masters of each family after the family dinner last night.
Amber said, "You are talking about Sanxi who was beside the Tenth Young Master, right? I heard that he was kidnapped by the Fourth Madam and sent directly to the First Madam's courtyard. They said that his life or death was entirely up to the First Madam."
Shen Wen said: "In front of everyone in the mansion, killing someone is a sin. Send the person over and let the first lady be the bad guy."
Amber said, "And Master Meifeng was dragged to the ancestral hall by the Sixth Master and beaten with a stick. Not only did he break one leg, but both of his legs were broken."
Thinking of the servants who witnessed the tragic end and were shocked by their expressions, Amber couldn't help but shake her head in pity.
Amber said, "The Sixth Master has three sons. The eldest son is insane, but the other two are quite smart. If they were kind and willing to study hard, the Sixth Master would have been blessed with many children and grandchildren."
Shen Wen said, "Isn't there also Shen Zhanfeng? From what you said, he is also an unfilial and unlucky guy?"
Hearing him call someone an unlucky guy, Hubei glared at him unhappily, pursed her lips and tried to hold back a smile, "This Master Zhan Feng is out there now, and we servants don't know how he is doing. He did something stupid back then. Two years ago, the candidates in the capital held a poetry banquet, and Master Zhan Feng showed off his literary talent at the poetry banquet. He was supposed to win a prize, but it was revealed that he plagiarized his brother's poem."
Shen Wen asked: "My own brothers? Who are they?"
Amber said, "The sixth son of the Third Master's family, Shen Mianfeng."
Amber sighed and said, "Ah! The evidence was solid, and the witnesses pointed the finger at him on the spot. Zhan Feng became a laughing stock in the whole city overnight. When he returned home, he was expelled from the Marquis's family and kicked out of the mansion."
Shen Wen said: "After that, we don't know whether he is dead or alive?"
Amber said, "Someone mentioned it in early March this year. They said he was spotted by a wealthy businessman and became the son-in-law of that family. Judging from the way he dressed, he seemed to be living a comfortable life."
Shen Wen recalled the young Shen Zhanfeng.
He remembered that the child was a cocky and conceited person, who was better at studying than him, and who even said that if he was determined to serve his country, he must join the court.
Shen Wen said to Hubo, "Do you really think that Master Zhan Feng is just seeking fame and reputation? I remember that he was better at studying than us brothers since he was young. When he was young, he always accompanied Shen Mianfeng to study. The two of them were as close as brothers. Shen Mianfeng often boasted that he had a confidant who was like a teacher and a friend."
Amber's face looked a little unnatural. She glanced away, but urged Shen Wen, "Sir, stop chatting here. Go to the old marquis. I'm sure the marquis is still waiting for you to pay your respects. It's not good to keep the elders waiting for too long."
Only then did Shen Wen stand up and go out.
Just as Amber was packing his clothes and was in a hurry to go out.
Then I heard a few women rushing in from outside.
The one in the middle was the eighth young lady, Shen Shuxian. She was pulled by her maids' arms left and right and ran into the house.
Shen Shuxian was clearly holding a pair of scissors in her hand. When she saw Shen Wen, her bright little face immediately became distorted and hideous. She pushed the maid away and stabbed towards Shen Wen with the scissors raised.
Shen Shuxian cursed, "I have grown up and yet you have been riding on my head. I am also His Majesty's person. If you look down on me, you are looking down on His Majesty. I will stab you first and then go to His Majesty to explain..."
Before Shen Shuxian could reach Shen Wen with the scissors in hand, Zhinuan twisted her arm. As the scissors fell to the ground, Zhinuan slapped her twice in a row.
After two slaps, the delicate young lady was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on her face.
After a long pause, she pointed at Zhinuan in frustration and cried, "You! How dare you hit me! Oh... Your Majesty... Aaaaaa... I will not live any longer..."
She cried so aggrievedly and howled so loudly that it almost blew the roof off.
How could Zhinuan indulge her? She scratched her ears that were disturbed and slapped her twice angrily.
The two slaps knocked her down.
Eighth Miss covered her face, anxious and angry. She couldn't catch her breath, rolled her eyes and fainted.
She passed out with a pale face, and the maids and Amber were all so frightened that they lost their composure. They rushed to support her, rubbing her chest and pinching her philtrum, crying and shouting. In an instant, it became a large funeral scene with people mourning and mourning.
Shen Wen's head was spinning and he poked his temple with his fingers.
It’s true that Zhinuan’s bad temper is beyond cure.
Then Zhi Nuan yelled, "Shut up!"
The drunk maids were startled and looked at Zhinuan in fear.
Next, several maids were seen flying out of the house like cannonballs, hitting the bluestone bricks outside the house, and falling to the ground wailing.
The eighth young lady, who had just woken up after being pinched on the philtrum, fainted again out of anger when she saw her bandit behavior.
Amber was so anxious!
She raised her weak little arm and knocked on Zhinuan's shoulder, angrily scolding: "You trouble-making little hoof! What should we do? If anything happens to her, our mansion will be in big trouble. Disobeying the order and deceiving the emperor will result in beheading."
Shen Wen said, "Zhi Nuan! You are too impatient. You should close the door before beating someone. You can't let them run out and cause trouble. It's not a good idea to solve the problem behind closed doors. It will attract those who are up to no good and it will be very troublesome."
Zhi Nuan was not panicked. She said disdainfully, "I have already asked Jin Sheng to guard the door. There is also a little maid blocking the back door. Don't worry! Young Master, just train them well. No one can escape."
As soon as these words were spoken, Amber cried out "Ouch!" and covered her mouth with her tender little hands, not daring to make a sound.
Shen Wen was very pleased. He patted Zhinuan's shoulder and smiled.
Shen Wen asked Zhinuan to carry Shen Shuxian and drag her to the door.
Shen Wen looked at the maids and old women lying on the ground in the yard. Shen Wen asked Zhinuan to tie the unconscious Eighth Miss to the pillar of the porch.
She said to the maidservant, "Do you know how to tell others about what happened today?"
The maids and old women lowered their heads in dissatisfaction.
Shen Wen sighed and said, "It seems that you don't know how to cover up your lies to others!"
Shen Wen took the scissors that the Eighth Miss had just held in her hand, squatted down and pointed at her face. She said, "What a beautiful face! The Emperor chose her because of this face! Tsk tsk... You slaves are honored by your masters. When she enters the palace, you will be blessed! But... Her face was cut by my scissors... Not to mention entering the palace as a noble, it will be even more difficult for her to marry a powerful official!"
After hearing these words, the servants suddenly panicked and looked at Shen Wen pleadingly.
Shen Wen said, "I didn't want to do this either. She just provoked me for no reason. What about you? Not only did you not stop her, you also encouraged her to teach me a lesson, thinking that I was a person without temper. I won't do it! Do you know how to behave yourself? Don't just keep provoking trouble. Learn to suppress things. Am I clear enough?"
The servants seemed to be thinking about something.
Shen Wen said, "Don't be so lucky as to escape from this door today and think of ways to fight me. I am a clean and efficient person. I will cut off the capital of anyone who fights with me. Do you understand what capital is? You can see that Miss Eight is hanging on by a thread... I don't know when I will be unhappy! If she wilts early, you will be sold out to wander!"
She looked at the servants.
She sighed and said, "I have a bad fate. I can only learn from those mountain bandits who are willing to sacrifice their lives. I will fight for my life. At most, I can be a hero again in 18 years!"
A maid said hurriedly, "Yes... Miss Eighth came here to show off her power... She smashed things and fainted due to excessive excitement. No wonder Linchaoju is in trouble. Let's carry Miss back to recuperate and make sure Miss Eighth doesn't come to Linchaoju to disturb her again before she enters the palace."
