Chapter 11 Abdominal Pain
Shen Ning thought for a moment alone and soon fell into a light sleep.
With Lanzhi and Lanhua guarding them, everything was calm in Haitang Courtyard.
In another courtyard of the Shen family, there was already chaos.
"Ahhh!" Shen Yan suffered from severe cramping in her abdomen, and she rolled on the bed in pain and screamed, "Mother...mother, it hurts, I hurt! Ahhh!"
"Yan'er, Yan'er! What's going on?" Mrs. Shen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She kept begging the doctor, "I was fine this morning, but why did I suddenly have abdominal pain? Doctor, please check Yan'er carefully. Check it out, you must give her a good check..."
An old doctor who was over fifty years old sat aside and took Shen Yan's pulse carefully, turning a deaf ear to Mrs. Shen's words.
"Mother." Shen Shi'an finally couldn't help but say, "Yan'er may have been poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Mrs. Shen's face changed drastically, "How could she be poisoned?"
Shen Shi'an sounded unhappy: "Shen Yan went to deliver lunch to Shen Ning, drank some soup together in her room, and then got poisoned."
Mrs. Shen was shocked: "You...you mean Shen Ning poisoned Shen Yan?"
The doctor who checked the pulse gave Shen Shi'an an unclear look, stood up and said to Mrs. Shen: "Madam, Ling Qianjin is not poisoned, and the specific cause has not been diagnosed."
"Big...brother!" Shen Yan curled up in pain, trembling all over, and her face was pale, "Brother...brother, help me! I hurt so much, I hurt so much..."
Shen Shi'an walked quickly to the bed: "Yan'er, Yan'er, tell me, did you add anything to the soup..."
"I... didn't..." Shen Yan gritted her teeth, her voice trembling with pain, "I just added a little medicine to help me sleep, nothing else... I didn't add it, brother, Shen Ning poisoned me... She poisoned me..."
Shen Shi'an's eyes narrowed: "Yan'er, are you telling the truth?"
"It's true, it's true." Shen Yan held his hand tightly, her sharp nails pinching Shen Shi'an in pain, "Brother, I just feel sorry for my eldest sister. She has been... until now... She didn’t have a good rest, I...I wanted her to sleep..."
Shen Shi'an's eyes suddenly turned cold, thinking about Shen Ning's cold-blooded cruelty, and for a moment he only felt chilled and disappointed.
If it hadn't been for what happened yesterday, he would have never known that Shen Ning could be so selfish and cold-blooded and so cruel to his family.
Why did Yan'er feel sorry for her, and why did she act so cruelly?
"Doctor, is there really nothing we can do?" Mrs. Shen said anxiously, "Yan'er is in so much pain..."
The doctor said helplessly: "Madam, Miss Shen Er's symptoms are really strange. The cause cannot be diagnosed, and it doesn't look like poisoning. I really can't do anything. I'm sorry."
After that, I could only say goodbye and leave.
"Mother, mother!" Shen Yan kept screaming, rolling on the bed holding her belly, "Mother, help me, big...brother, please help me, I'm in pain..."
Mrs. Shen was panicked by her shouting: "I'm going to ask Shen Ning right now, don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
She hurriedly arrived at Haitang Courtyard, but was told by the female officer guarding outside that the princess was resting and no one was allowed to disturb her.
"You two, please be accommodating." Mrs. Shen begged regardless of her status, her face turned pale, "Yan'er is in too much pain, please Ning'er... please Princess..."
The two female officials guarded the place like door gods, with gentle but uncompromising expressions: "Madam, please be considerate of me. The regent has strict orders, and we only obey the orders of the princess."
"Then you go in and pass the message..."
"The princess ordered us to stay here. No one is allowed to disturb her while she rests. Madam can come back during dinner time."
"But I'm really in a hurry!" Mrs. Shen's face turned pale with anxiety, and she spoke in a low voice, "Can you two please go in and let me know?"
Lanzhi and Lanhua remained silent and did not respond.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shen looked at the two female officials with disappointment: "Even if Shen Ning marries the regent, she is still my daughter. Isn't it okay for me, a mother, to see my daughter at home?"
However, no matter what she said, whether it was gentle words and soft jade, or threats hidden in the cotton wool, Lanzhi and Lanhua remained unmoved.
Mrs. Shen's face turned livid with anger. She could hardly maintain her demeanor as a duchess's wife, so she turned around and walked away.
In desperation, she could only go to the Duke of Zhen, anxious to tell her husband the truth about the situation. She couldn't help but complain: "Shen Ning is too arrogant. I have to be humble when I go to see her, and those two This female official is clearly relying on the regent’s power to show off her authority!”
"Now that the matter has come to this, what's the use of talking so much?" Duke Zhenguo looked gloomy, "If I had known that the regent was interested in her, I would never have agreed to Qin Yanshu taking her as his concubine, and would have done such shameless things. matter!"
Although until now, he doesn't feel that what he did was wrong. This is the way the world is. If the legitimate daughter of a famous family loses her innocence, it is almost as good as death.
If he is really dead, he can still preserve the family's reputation because of his strong temper. Otherwise, it will affect the future marriage of the daughter in the family and the future future of the brother in the family.
What he did was not wrong, and her mother was not wrong in wanting Shen Ning to commit suicide as an apology.
The only thing they did wrong was that they did not anticipate that the Holy Spirit would grant marriage in advance.
It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable.
In Dayong Kingdom right now, the regent's thoughts are the most unpredictable.
Just like this sudden imperial edict.
Everyone knew that the imperial edict could not leave the palace without the permission of the regent, but no one could figure out why the regent would allow this edict to appear in the Duke's palace.
Why was he so obsessed with marrying a woman whose reputation had been tarnished on a whim?
But what's the use of saying this now?
The Duke of Zhen Guo sighed deeply: "I will go to the palace, put down this face, and ask the emperor to see if he can send an imperial physician to Yan'er to take a look at her."
Mrs. Shen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "It takes an hour to come and go, Yan'er..."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Duke Zhen Guo frowned and was furious, "I clearly told her to stay in her room and not go out. What else can she do but insist on delivering lunch to Shen Ning? Are all the servants dead? !”
Mrs. Shen looked frightened and did not dare to say anything.
Duke Zhenguo walked out with a sullen face.
There is really no peace of mind.
