Chapter 298: Fake medicine? Teach them a lesson
"What are you doing!" Chen Shuhua's heart tightened. After so many years of marriage, it would be a lie to say she didn't feel sad seeing him like this.
"As long as Madam can feel relieved and forgive me, what does this matter?" Shen Wenting pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear.
Seeing this, the servants quickly closed the door for them. The master had not stayed overnight in his mistress's yard for a long time. It is said that couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. There is nothing that cannot be discussed peacefully.
The two people's breath gradually became a little hot. This was the first time in all these years that Shen Wenting took the initiative to approach her. Chen Shuhua was a little stunned. Just when she was about to take a step closer, the scene of him and Yingcao together that day emerged in her mind. She felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, so she pushed him away and covered her chest: "You go back! Not today, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll ask someone to call the court doctor." Shen Wenting nervously let go of her, a look of relief flashing across his face.
"No, just take a rest."
"Okay, ma'am, then you should have a good rest." Shen Wenting suppressed his anger and forced a smile.
"Yeah." Chen Shuhua said lightly.
"By the way, Madam, you should think twice about letting Nian Ran be the housekeeper. How can a young girl like her manage the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion? You should take back the housekeeper power. Even if you want someone to help you manage the household, isn't Youran more suitable than that girl..."
"I have already made up my mind about this matter. Nianran has managed the household in an orderly manner during the days I was away. I am very satisfied. Please don't interfere too much, Master. Please go back!" Shen Wenting was interrupted by Chen Shuhua before he could finish his words.
"lady……"
Shen Wenting was furious. He lowered his face and tried to please her in a nice way, but she gave him the cold shoulder. He opened the door and walked out with a sullen face. He did not return to his own yard, but went out of the house. A dark shadow followed him quietly.
"Miss, just as you expected, Minister Shen went to Cuiliu Street." About an hour later, Shan Wei came back to report.
Yao Qingnian was worried that something might happen to Chen Shuhua, so she asked Shan Wei to monitor Shen Wenting's movements, but she didn't expect to get an unexpected reward. She suspected that the two had an improper relationship in the shop that day, and she could confirm it tonight. In the middle of the night, he ran to his friend's widow's house. Isn't this the same as telling others that there is nothing wrong with us, we were just chatting under the covers, who are we trying to fool?
"Well, let's go to Willow Street tomorrow to meet this Ru Niang."
The next morning, after Yao Qingnian had breakfast with Chen Shuhua, he left the house under the pretext of inspecting the shop.
On the way to Chui Liu Street, I suddenly saw a few men surrounding an old woman and a maid in an alley not far away, cursing, "Old woman, you said our medicine was fake, and you dared to shout so loudly, causing us to not receive a penny today. Do you think you should compensate us for our losses?"
"Hmph! You sell fake medicine, defraud people of their money, and kill people. I, an old woman, have only exposed you. It has been merciful of me not to report you to the police. You don't repent, and you even rob people on the street. Do you really think the law is just a decoration?" An old woman stood there with her back straight. She was not afraid of the other side's numbers. Next to her stood a young maid. Although she was trembling with fear, she did not step back.
"The law? I am the law! You have disrupted my business today. You can't leave without compensation! Brothers, this old woman is well dressed. She must have a lot of money. And the girl next to her is as pretty as a flower. Let's catch her and have some fun. Then we can sell her in a brothel. We can get some money to compensate for today's loss."
"You bold lunatic, stop talking nonsense. Do you know who my old lady is? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you will lose your life without knowing it!" The maid beside the old woman protected her and scolded nervously.
"Hahaha! How powerful can an old woman be? It doesn't matter whether I lose my life or not. What matters is that your life is in my hands today. Brothers, go ahead and search this old woman to see if there is anything valuable. Then tie up the little maid and take her back to have fun."
The men chuckled, looked at each other, and then walked forward towards the old woman and the others.
"Stop!" the old woman yelled, but they acted as if they didn't hear her and pushed the two men to the end of the alley. The maid trembled and protected the old woman. Seeing that the men were about to approach, the old woman grabbed the stick in the corner and hit the passers-by with it: "Beat you little thieves to death. You are so young but you don't learn good things. You only do evil things that steal money and kill people. It's a pity that there are worms like you in the world. Today, I will risk my life and teach you a lesson."
"Hey, you old woman, you still dare to be stubborn when you are about to die. Then I will do something good today and send you to the west in advance." The man grabbed the stick that the old woman hit him with and pushed hard, and the old woman fell to the wall.
"Old lady!" The maid came forward crying and nervously checked the old woman who had fallen to the ground.
"Hahaha, an old man who can't even stand steadily, yet you dare say you want to teach us a lesson." The man clapped his hands with the stick, and the people next to him laughed.
After a moment, the man raised the stick in his hand and hit the old woman. The maid protected the old woman with her body. After waiting for a long time, there was no pain on her body. A cold female voice came from behind her.
"You grown men, surrounding an old woman and a little girl, don't you feel ashamed?" The stick the man raised in the air was tightly grasped by someone, and then he was kicked to the ground by Yao Qingnian, who let out a painful cry.
"Boss, are you okay?!" The other men looked at the girl who suddenly appeared, kicked the boss to the ground before he could react, and hurried over to help him up.
"Oh, here comes another nosy person! We can't get through today, so that's great, let's deal with them together. We are grown men, how can we be afraid of a few bitches? Brothers, come on together." The man spat out a trace of blood from his mouth and looked at Yao Qingnian with vicious eyes. This woman was too strong. It felt like he had internal injuries from this kick. He couldn't just let her go.
He swung his fist and started to attack Shan Wei and Yao Qingnian. Shan Wei stood there with her hands folded. The aura on her body burst out, shocking the several grown men. They paused and said, "Boss, how about we forget it? This woman looks a little hard to mess with..."
