The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 149 1 Brother Didn’t Go Out at All

Shen Wen saw Shen Shuofeng's concern for him, so he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he asked with concern: "Is Eleventh Brother okay? He is so sick, didn't Sixth Uncle ask anyone to come and see him?"

Shen Shuofeng said unhappily, "Why not? You don't understand. Eleventh brother is crazy. There is no way to cure him. The bitter medicine soup he has been taking for many years can only make him sober for one or two days."

Shen Wen said, "I can see it, but it also depends on what kind of doctor you hire. Second brother, you know that I have a doctor who is at the level of a miracle doctor. What a miracle doctor! He is amazing! How about I bring him to the eleventh brother for treatment?"

Shen Shuofeng had also long heard of the name of Dr. Sun, and was delighted after hearing the following story. However, when he thought of his seventh uncle's evaluation of the doctor and Dr. Sun's treatment of Shen Zhuofeng, he began to back off.

Shen Shuofeng turned cold again and said to Shen Wen: "What do you mean by invite? I've heard that the consultation fee of that miracle doctor is frighteningly high. Sixth uncle's family can't afford it. Besides, the miracle doctor has a strange temper. He is unwilling to come and treat you. Don't bother with it."

Then, Shen Shuofeng said kindly, "Okay, I will tell Uncle Six about your worries about your eleventh brother. You should listen to your second brother and go back to your Linchao Residence! There are too many people in our family. Usually, one of the spatulas will hit the edge of the stove. You are very weak and can't handle it."

That's it again!

Just like before, every word he said was a threat, which frightened the kind-hearted child into becoming a frightened bird, so that even when he crawled into his own bed, he felt unsafe.

While the two were talking, a maid passed by them, covered her face, and ran away without even greeting.

Shen Wen glanced at the maid and didn't want to pay attention to her, but...

"Stop! What's wrong with you?"

The maid knew she couldn't escape, so she took two steps towards them, bowed to them and replied, "My lord, it was... the Eleventh Young Master who was ill just now and hit me accidentally."

Shen Shuofeng sighed and said, "Eleventh brother often gets sick, and he has beaten people twice." He looked at the maid and said, "You are the maid in Ninth brother's room, right?"

The maid quickly looked up at Shen Shuofeng, lowered her head and answered: "Yes, I am the maid in the Ninth Young Master's room."

When she raised her head, Shen Wen could see clearly. Shen Wen asked in confusion, "The bloodstains on your face cannot be scratched by a man's nails. You may not have even looked at your face. The blood you shed is not bright red, but a bit purple-black. Maybe there is poison in that man's nails, which has already penetrated into your skin."

After these words were spoken, the girl's face changed drastically in fear.

She recalled what happened earlier and blurted out, "No, she was just covered in the juice from the petals of her nails, nothing else!"

Shen Wen said: "Which one? Tell the truth quickly, who hurt you?"

The maid could only tell the truth, "It was Shiqin, the maidservant beside Grandma Jiu."

Shen Shuofeng was also surprised. He said, "I heard that my ninth brother's wife fell ill again today. My ninth brother asked a doctor for her three times in a row. Some people said that she was so sick that she couldn't even take soup. How could her maid have the leisure to fight with you? And my eleventh brother was there at the time. How did you meet him? My eleventh brother never wants to go out. It seems to me that you are lying."

The maid quickly raised her head and glanced at Shen Shuofeng again, and she said hurriedly: "No...I didn't lie. It was the Eleventh Young Master who ran out today for no apparent reason. He was running around and just happened to run into us two fighting."

Shen Wen asked another question: "I seem to have seen you before, so you should be a child of the mansion. Could you be the maidservant of the ninth brother?"

The maid saw Shen Wen waiting for her answer, so she could only say: "Yes, I am a servant born in the mansion, my name is Yi'er"

Shen Shuofeng said: "She is a good maid. She has been smart since she was young. When my ninth brother was young, he couldn't answer the teacher, and it was this girl who helped him. She is very talented."

Shen Wen said, "I heard that Ninth Brother was very romantic in the past. You were his maidservant and served him for many years. So you should be the...woman in Ninth Brother's room! So it makes sense that you quarreled with the maidservant beside Ninth Sister-in-law. However, you probably overlooked one point. There was cinnabar ink on my Eleventh Brother's sleeves. The traces of cinnabar ink were not accidentally sprinkled there. It was a person who was suddenly pushed down with great force and unconsciously pressed his hand into the inkstone. Because of the excessive force, the ink stains on the palm and sleeves just overlapped with the inkstone."

Yier's face became more and more ugly as she listened, and she could no longer hide her expression.

Shen Wen said: "There are more details than just this one. There are several more. Yi'er, do you want to listen to it?"

Yi'er's eyes were evasive, not daring to look directly at Shen Wen, and she could only stammer, "I... I..."

Shen Wen said, "Eleventh Brother didn't go out at all. He was copying scriptures with cinnabar ink in his room today. The correct story is that Shiqin came to Eleventh Brother's room for no reason. Shiqin was also a martial artist, and her subordinates were very powerful. It was not enough for her to push Eleventh Brother down, she also beat him up. Later, you came up to stop Shiqin, so you were also beaten by Shiqin. The wound on your face was caused by Shiqin, right?"

Shen Wen continued, "Ninth sister-in-law is sick today, and Shiqin should have been by her side to serve her, but she got angry for no reason and came to bully Eleventh brother. Why is she so disrespectful? This is a noble mansion after all, Miss Yier, do you want to explain to me?"

Yi'er didn't answer, but became even more reserved, his hands tightly clenching the handkerchief.

After Shen Shuofeng heard what he said, he also felt suspicious. He couldn't help but ask Shen Wen: "Seventeenth brother, tell me, what is the reason for that maid?"

Shen Wen said: "This is a long story."

Seeing Shen Shuofeng's expression of wanting to get to the bottom of things, Shen Wen sighed and said, "Second brother, Shen Maofeng is such a jerk. He owes Eleventh Brother so much, but he still thinks it's natural. Not only that, he also abuses and insults the already stupid Shen Xifeng. Shen Maofeng deserves it this time. I think he will get his comeuppance soon."

Shen Shuofeng thought about this sentence carefully, and he couldn't help but ask urgently: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Wen said: "Second brother, do you really want to know?"

Shen Shuofeng said: "Yes!"

Shen Wen said, "Second brother, go back and ask Second Sister-in-law first. Second Sister-in-law knows everything about our family. As long as she is willing to tell the truth, Second brother will know everything."

After saying that, Shen Wen stopped hesitating and walked away quickly.

Shen Shuofeng was half-believing and half-doubting. He had intended to ask Yi'er more about the situation, but when he turned around and looked at the girl again... Where was she?

Shen Wen hurried back to Linchaoju and felt something was wrong as soon as he opened the door.

She saw a crowd of people gathered in the yard, some standing, some kneeling, and some lying on the ground unconscious. In the middle, Zhi Nuan and Jin Sheng were facing away from her, and she recognized them at a glance.

Zhinuan picked up an apple that had fallen to the ground and placed it on the head of a girl tied to a tree. Zhinuan put it on the head while admonishing her, "Don't move! Otherwise I'll hit you and you'll suffer again." She also patted the girl's face, like coaxing her own cat.

Zhinuan stepped back a few meters and aimed at the girl with a small wooden crossbow.

Maybe it was because she was shot too many times, the girl's face was subconsciously tense, and her whole body was tense, waiting for fate to play a trick on her.

Unexpectedly, Zhinuan was a fool. This time, he missed the apple on the girl's head and hit her forehead directly. Moreover, the arrow head of the crossbow was wrapped in thick cotton cloth, so it didn't hurt or kill anyone.

Zhi Nuan stamped her feet in frustration and complained to Jin Sheng beside her: "Oh, it still doesn't work. Are you teaching me correctly?"

And what about Jinsheng? He was also busy.

Behind him stood a woman, who was like a log, neither running nor jumping, and watched the servant Jinsheng poking at her.

Jin Sheng looked at his fingers, then at the woman he had just poked, who didn't move at all. He said to Zhi Nuan in a bad mood, "Isn't it said that acupoint pressing is very easy to learn? How come I haven't figured out the trick after practicing for so long? Don't you want to teach me? Are you hiding something?"

Zhinuan slapped Jinsheng on the back of the head and cursed, "You big-headed ghost!"

Jin Sheng was not angry. He rubbed his head which was not so painful, looked at the old woman and said to Zhi Nuan, "It's almost done! Why don't you untie her acupuncture points? I think the maid next to the eldest lady has been acupunctured for a long time. After all, she is old. If she can't hold on and dies, it will not be beautiful."

Zhi Nuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at how timid you are. This old woman is very strong. She has enjoyed a lifetime of luxury with the Madam. She is in a better shape than other old women. She won't die so easily."

At this time, Shen Wen came over and asked, "What are you playing? Why are there so many people?"

The two of them turned around to look at her, but before they could answer, Amber appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Shen Wen's hand, and said anxiously, "Young Master, please try to persuade these two ancestors! Have they caused a big disaster?"

Shen Wen was not in a hurry to find out the situation. She pointed at the servant kneeling on the ground and asked, "Which courtyard are they from?"

Zhi Nuan smiled and said, "To answer the young lady's question, these are the servants that the Marquis has just assigned to serve our courtyard."

Shen Wen just looked at the nanny who was standing there blankly and said, "What about her? She is..."

Amber said, "Sir, how could you forget that she is Nanny Yan who is by the Madam's side?"

Amber continued, "Madame Yan was originally sent by the Madam to see you, but these two ancestors detained you here. It has been a long time now. If you don't let you go, I'm afraid... the Madam will send someone to check again."

Zhi Nuan said unhappily, "Come and see what's wrong. If you want someone, just give it to them."
