Yongcheng Houfu
Shen Ji was caught in the rain in the middle of the night and didn't dry up in time, so he contracted the wind and cold without any suspense.
Fang Xu prepared medicine for him, frowning slightly, and couldn't stop complaining, "How old are you, but you still treat yourself as a child, don't pay attention to your body at all, and follow the unconventional way of going out in the rain in the middle of the night..."
Shen Ji sat aside obediently and allowed her to complain. After hearing the last sentence, he sincerely asked, "Why does Madam think I am a fat pig?"
Fang Xu paused and was speechless for a moment. He just glanced at him and turned back to get the medicinal materials.
Shen Ji was not annoyed and stared at her back with a smile.
Fang Xu's thoughts were the care that Shen Ji had wanted for most of his life but could not get.
"Go and fry the medicine." Fang Xu handed the medicinal materials in his hand to Su Zi and whispered, "Then send it to Chengyuan."
"Yes." Su Zi raised his hand to take it and trotted out of the pharmacy.
"Excuse me, madam." Shen Ji looked at her with a smile on his lips and a warmth in his eyes that he didn't even realize.
Fang Xu looked at him and thought it was funny, "Don't do this again in the future."
Shen Ji didn't speak, just shook his head.
Fang Xu frowned and asked softly, "What do you mean?"
"I'm angry and confused, but I still want to see my wife." Shen Ji blinked and spoke sincerely.
Shen Ji is a typical person who knows he is wrong but still dares to do it next time.
Fang Xu looked at him, unable to do anything, "If you do this again next time, your body will collapse."
"What is mother worried about?"
Xie Li's voice came from outside. The two of them followed the sound and saw him standing alone outside the door, with a cold look on his face.
Xie Li walked into the pharmacy, glanced at Shen Ji, and said coldly, "A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, how can it be afraid of cold rain?"
Shen Ji had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take Xie Li's words to heart at all, but said in a strange tone, "Xiao Li is right, I was wrong yesterday, and it is understandable that he scolded me."
Hearing this, Fang Xu was a little unhappy and scolded softly, "Xie Li, do you know how to be polite?"
Xie Li was stunned and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say and laughed out of anger.
Shen Ji raised his eyes and looked at him, the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose instead of falling, indicating that the villain was successful.
When the atmosphere was tense, Bai Ji's figure appeared outside and whispered, "Madam."
Fang Xu turned around when he heard the sound and saw Bai Ji. His eyes flashed and he turned to face Xie Li and said softly, "You stay here and watch him first. I'll be back soon."
"Mother, I..."
Before Xie Li finished speaking, Fang Xu hurriedly left, leaving only two people in the room.
Xie Li looked at her back and sighed helplessly, his shoulders drooping a little.
Turning his head, he saw Shen Ji's face that needed a beating again.
Shen Ji stared at him, with a slight smile on his lips. His body was weak and his face was a little pale, but it did not hinder him from selling the sword at all. "Xiao Li, I'm troubling you again."
Xie Li didn't catch a breath, and almost died before Song Huixin returned to Beijing.
"Don't be so proud." Xie Li gritted his teeth and wanted to slap him twice. "My mother is so smart. She must have discovered your thoughts a long time ago. She just wanted to save you some face and didn't expose you!"
"Really?" Shen Ji's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly won a jackpot, "Madam knows about it, but is reluctant to expose me. Does this mean that I am different from others in Madam's mind?"
"You..." Xie Li looked at the smile on his face and didn't know which words to use to scold him. After much deliberation, he only managed to say, "You are really smart."
Shen Ji chuckled, his eyes wandered, fell on his hand, and whispered, "Is that snack from Wenxiangzhai for me?"
Xie Li was furious, but couldn't deny it without conscience, so he threw the oil paper bag into his arms and said in a deep voice, "It's for the dog!"
Shen Ji ignored him and untied the rope on his own, took out the snack, took a bite, and smiled in his eyes.
Granny Yuan suddenly opened the door curtain and walked in with a spring-breathing smile on her face.
"The eldest princess..."
"You just sit down. If you're not feeling well, there's no need to get up." Granny Yuan waved her hand to stop Shen Ji from getting up.
"Grandma, where have you been this early in the morning?" Xie Li frowned and hurriedly poured her a cup of warm tea from the side.
"Going to attend to important matters." Granny Yuan sat down, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, slapped it in front of Shen Ji, and then took the teacup handed over by Xie Li, "Xiao Shen, take a closer look at what's on it. What."
Shen Ji was surprised. He lowered his eyes and looked solemn. He murmured, "The eldest princess really went to the Shen family?"
"Of course I mean what I say." Granny Yuan took a sip of warm tea to moisten her throat, and then whispered, "I made a little trick to get your adoptive parents to sign a contract and never see you again."
"There is no one left on your adoptive mother's side, but your adoptive father still has a brother. I just mentioned it, and he honestly pressed his fingerprints and promised to move out of the capital and give you a safe life."
Grandma Yuan held the tea cup with a smile on her face and loving eyes. "Besides, they did save you, and they didn't make you starve or freeze. This is love, and you have to repay it. I gave them two Only after receiving a thousand taels of silver notes did they willingly pack their bags."
Shen Ji held the piece of paper and couldn't recover for a long time.
Xie Li frowned even more and asked in a low voice, "Those two are scoundrels, did they hurt grandma?"
"Hey, when your grandmother and I were skinning the cheetah, they couldn't figure out where to chew the grass roots." Granny Yuan waved her hands casually, not paying attention to the two of them at all, "Besides, with my status, even if they I just want to fool around, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Evil people need to be punished by evil people. In this capital city, there is no such thing as your grandmother breaking off the thorns." Granny Yuan chuckled, her tone was calm, but it was hard to ignore her aura, "You are not suitable to deal with them, leave it to me. That’s the best way.”
Shen Ji lowered his eyes and pinched the paper with his fingertips so hard that they turned white. After a long moment of silence, he whispered, "Thank you, Princess."
"No matter what kind words you say, we are all members of the same family..." Grandma Yuan suddenly stopped talking. She noticed the glances of Shen Ji and Xie Li and laughed awkwardly, "They are all... We are all citizens of Dayan, and I should protect them." With you."
Xie Li frowned even more tightly, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
However, Shen Ji thought of something, his eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"It's done. Once you get rid of the evil-minded people, life will be easier in the future." Granny Yuan looked at him with a smile, looking kind, "Xiao Shen, you are finally free."
Shen Ji was stunned for a long time, then smiled suddenly and nodded slowly, "Yes."
Outside the house, Fang Xu led Bai Ji a little further, and then asked in a low voice, "Is everything done?"
Bai Ji nodded, took out a box from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to Fang Xu, "According to Madam's words, a small batch of gold was beaten into ornaments. Madam, please take a look."
Fang Xu weighed the box in his hand, noticing that it was heavy, and raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
"Madam, General Fuyuan and Prince Runan have been arrested and are being interrogated by the superiors." Bai Ji lowered his voice and whispered, "The Crown Prince has received an order and is going to search Prince Runan's palace this afternoon."
