Chapter 310: Poisoned, bitten by a spider?
The maid trembled all over and fell to her knees in fear: "I...I dare not."
"Don't dare?! Grandma and father, when this villain came in, he didn't call the doctor to treat my sister first, but started talking nonsense, delaying the time to save people. He has ulterior motives. If it is really poisoning, he didn't let anyone call the doctor. What if the poison gets to her body?" She walked to the old lady with the spider in her hand, with a worried look on her face. The old lady took a step back in fear.
"Miss Nianran is right. Go and get the doctor." There was nothing wrong with what she said. Youran's health was important, so a servant immediately went to get the doctor.
"Kill the spider in your hand! It's such a poisonous creature, and you still hold it in your hand to play with it. How can you be so ridiculous?" Even though Shen Wenting was a grown man, his scalp tingled when he saw it.
"Father, didn't you teach me to get closer to my sister and cultivate sisterly feelings? I was just playing with my sister yesterday, so how did it count as bullying her?" She blinked her eyes and smiled harmlessly.
"Playing around? You're trying to kill her! Your sister's face has been bitten like this!"
"Sister, are you sure it was me, the spider, who bit you?"
"Sister, there was a spider crawling on my face yesterday, what else could it be?"
"Is this how it crawls?" She put the spider on her face, and her action scared everyone.
"Nianran! Take it down quickly!" Chen Shuhua was shocked.
"It's okay, Mom, it's fake, just a toy, look!" She took it off her face and handed it to her mother.
"Fake?" Chen Shuhua didn't answer.
"Yeah, what do you think! A realistic toy, father, take a look?" Yao Qingnian threw it directly into his hands without caring whether he agreed or not.
How could it be fake? No one present believed it. Shen Wenting got goosebumps when he held the fake spider, but he was still a man after all. He looked at it carefully in his hand and it was really fake: "This...it's really fake."
Shen Youran didn't expect that what she was holding was a fake spider. Shen Wenting and the others obviously believed it now, but her face was already like this, she couldn't suffer in vain, she had to do the whole show no matter what. She covered her face and cried, "Dad, my face hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
"You Ran, bear with it, the doctor will be here soon. Even if your spider is fake, it doesn't mean you didn't bully your sister. The poison on her face was not put by you." When she cried out, Shen Wenting reacted. How could he be fooled by Shen Nianran again?
"Master, the doctor is here!"
"Quick! Doctor, please check on You Ran."
"Yes, Lord Shangshu." The doctor saluted, put down the medicine box and began to examine Shen Youran. The sores on her face and the marks on her neck were shocking. After a long while, the doctor and Shen Youran looked at each other and said, "Your Excellency Shangshu, the young lady's face was poisoned. If it is not treated well, it will... be disfigured and leave scars. But please rest assured, I will use the best medicine and try my best to ensure that there is no mark on the young lady's face."
"What, leaving scars? Doctor, no, my granddaughter hasn't gotten married yet, her face cannot be ruined and scarred. Use, you must use the best medicine!" When the old lady heard that it would leave scars, her heart sank. That wouldn't do. A woman with a disfigured face couldn't marry into the royal family.
"Don't worry, old lady. I will do my best."
"Doctor, what poison was inflicted on You Ran?"
"It's spider venom. It's highly poisonous. A serious bite can be fatal. How could there be such a thing in the Shangshu Mansion? Your Excellency the Shangshu must take it seriously. Otherwise, it would be bad if it gets out and bites other people." The doctor said seriously.
"Shen Nianran, you still say it wasn't you! The doctor said it was a spider bite, what else do you have to say?" Shen Wenting's anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
"You saw my spider father, it was fake." Yao Qingnian remained calm.
"You! Don't think I can do nothing if you don't admit it! Someone, bring the whip!"
"Shen Wenting, the matter has not been clarified yet. What right do you have to hit my daughter?" Chen Shuhua could no longer sit still. She saw clearly that if she had not come today, Shen Wenting and the old lady would both be on Youran's side. Nianran would be outnumbered and would definitely be bullied.
"Someone, pull the lady away!"
"Shen Wenting, try it today!" Chen Shuhua no longer had her usual dignified image, and looked at Shen Wenting with resentment in her eyes.
"Madam, just watch carefully from the side. Don't worry, she is our flesh and blood after all. I won't be too harsh. I am just disciplining her and fulfilling my responsibility as a father." Shen Wenting's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He was a scholar and couldn't control his strength well. What if something unexpected happened...
Shen Youran was delighted, she never thought that Chen Shuhua would end up like this. Normally, her father always went along with her, but after today's incident, she and her daughter would have no status in the mansion. She hid behind Shen Wenting, looking like she was enjoying the show.
The servant brought up the whip, and someone pulled Chen Shuhua aside. She struggled, but it was of no avail. Shen Wenting was determined to deal with Yao Qingnian. No one could help her, because she was so arrogant and didn't regard him as a father at all.
"Nianran!" Chen Shuhua's eyes were red.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't cry. You are so beautiful, it will not look good if you cry." Yao Qingnian said with a relaxed smile.
Chen Shuhua was pulled away, and Yao Qingnian breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to stay away from her so as not to hurt her when a fight broke out. It seemed that she was going to have a falling out with her stepfather today.
The old lady stood there and did not stop it. She wanted to wait for Wen Ting to teach her a lesson, and then come out to persuade her. On the one hand, this would teach her a lesson, and on the other hand, it would be a good opportunity to show her kindness and let her know that her grandmother still loved her.
Everyone has their own calculations in their mind.
Shen Wenting was about to strike with the whip when the housekeeper came to report: "Master, a guest is coming!"
"I have some family matters to take care of today, so I won't be seeing any guests. You can go back now."
"It's Captain Lu and Doctor Han." replied the butler.
"No one!" Shen Wenting was holding the whip and only wanted to teach Yao Qingnian a lesson: "Wait, who did you say it was? Captain Lu?"
I prepared gifts and visited him several times but was rejected. Why did he come today? Could it be that he was moved by my sincerity? Shen Wenting quickly put down the whip in his hand.
"Yes, sir, and Dr. Han."
"Doctor Han?" He is the youngest and most promising doctor. It is said that he has great medical skills and you can't hire him even if you have money.
Both of you are favorites of the emperor. How come you are here at the same time today? You are rare guests!
"Master, do you still want to refuse?"
