Chapter 175 Deadline
  Yu Qinglian took a few steps back as she approached.
  Shen Zehuan's disappointed eyes recalled that day, as well as the performance of Sister Shen Xinyu in the past two days.
  The old lady had just fined her for the shortfall of 200,000 taels of silver. If he knew that she had taken away 2 million taels of silver from the Taishi Mansion over the years, Shen Heshan would definitely divorce his wife!
  And Shen Heshan, he couldn't tolerate her either.
  Yu Qinglian didn't dare to gamble and said with red eyes: "I tell you, you won't give the old lady anything?"
  "It depends on your performance." Shen Zhuoxi raised his account book and said.
  Yu Qinglian took a deep breath and whispered: "The poison that was poured on you did come from the Valley of Divine Doctors, but I have no way to directly contact the people in the Valley of Divine Doctors."
  Shen Zhuoxi was not surprised at all: "How did the poison in the Valley of Divine Doctors get into your hands? I heard that the poison in the Valley of Divine Doctors is not allowed to be spread to outsiders."
  "Something happened to the witch in the Valley of Divine Doctors." Yu Qinglian paused and said, "I got the poison through Baishixiao. I heard that the witch is not in the valley, and the master in the valley has been replaced."
  "The rules set before have been changed long ago by those in control."
  The rules of the Valley of Divine Doctors have been set for hundreds of years. Who dares to abolish the ancestral precepts at will?
  Shen Zhuoxi thought about the person who could replace her in the Divine Medical Valley, and frowned: "Who is it? How can I contact the Pepsi Xiao you mentioned?"
  "How could I know this?" Yu Qinglian said with a wry smile: "I was able to buy the poison from the Valley of Miracle Doctors at a high price. Baishixiao has not shown up this year, and I can't contact him!"
  Yu Qinglian should not dare to lie now.
  Shen Zhuoxi thought about it for a while and said, "You can find a way to contact Pepsi Xiao. I want to see him. Also, what is recorded in this account book is where my mother's dowry went. Naturally, it belongs to my mother."
  "You give me these two million taels of silver, and I will hide the existence of the account book from my grandmother for you."
  "I have followed your instructions, and you still want me to make up for it?" Yu Qinglian was shocked again: "What you say doesn't mean what you say!"
  Shen Zhuoxi sneered, clicked on the account book, and said, "You misappropriated my mother's money at will. After all these years, do you really regard it as your own?"
  "As I said before, the choice is up to you."
  Yu Qinglian thought of Yu Qingbo's words, gritted her teeth and said: "I can't take it out now, can I give it two months' grace?"
  "Okay, it will be exactly two months until my wedding." Shen Zhuoxi knew that she wouldn't be able to get it out in two months, so she said generously: "Deadline."
  Yu Qinglian gritted her teeth secretly.
  In two months, she didn't believe that there was no way to defeat Shen Zhuoxi!
  Yu Qinglian came out of Qingfeng Tower, collected her emotions, and finally went to Jing'an Garden to pay her respects to the old lady.
  The old lady remembered what Shen Zhuoxi said and didn't look down on her at all. She just asked her to play the role of the eldest lady and not to embarrass the Taishi Mansion.
  Shen Zhuoxi also went to Jing'an Garden.
  Before she could speak, the old lady couldn't wait to ask: "Have you brought the account book you mentioned?"
  "Grandma, forgive me." Shen Zhuoxi pretended to be difficult and said, "The account book was on my desk yesterday, but I just went to look at it and I didn't see it. It's my fault."
  "Gone?" The old lady was doubtful.
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said, "I'm not used to being served in the house. As long as I'm not in the yard, the servants will go back to their rooms, for fear of being taken advantage of."
  The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly and was silent for a while. Instead of blaming her, she said comfortingly: "The things that appear inexplicably are fishy. Maybe someone is using you to disrupt the Taishi Mansion."
  "You can prepare for tomorrow's banquet with peace of mind, and put everything else later."
  Yu Qinglian's restraint was lifted, and so was Shen Jingya's.
  During lunch, Shen Jingya showed up for the first time in many days. She looked haggard and old-fashioned despite her age. There were vicissitudes in her face and eyes, and she was not walking smoothly.
  "Ah!" Shen Qingqing stood up and greeted her, saying, "What's wrong with Third Sister's leg?"
  Shen Jingya paused for a moment, then raised her feet and walked towards the table: "The root of the disease has been established after the injury."
  Dragonfly leaned over and whispered to Shen Zhuoxi: "I just heard that the third lady was imprisoned in the ancestral hall after being punished. She was not treated in time and her legs became disabled."
  Shen Qingqing wanted to help Shen Jingya, but Shen Jingya avoided her.
  After the incident with Wu Yong, the maid next to Shen Jingya was also beaten and sold. Now there is no one around her, and she looks lonely and pitiful.
  "The last time I saw Miss Third, she was such a smart little girl. How come it's been like this after five years of not seeing her?" Zhang, the second concubine, said with regret, "It's really pitiful."
  "Something happened to Third Miss a few days ago. You should just cultivate yourself and get better." Yu Qinglian said in passing, "Let's eat. The dishes are all specially prepared."
  "By the way, sister-in-law." Third aunt Kong said with concern: "I heard from the second lady that you were sick yesterday. It's nothing serious."
  Yu Qinglian glanced at Shen Zhuoxi and said with a smile: "The weather is too hot. I have suffered from the heat. Nothing happened. I would like to thank my three brothers and sisters for their concern. Do you want to stay for a few more days when you come this time?"
  "Speaking of this matter." Mrs. Kong glanced at Shen Zaishan and said, "I am planning to discuss it with my sister-in-law. The children are getting older and will soon start a family."
  "In five more years, they will definitely come to Shengdu with their family and friends to pay homage to the old man, so this time they plan to stay until the fifteenth day before going back, but today I heard that the second young lady's wedding is in September."
  "A few of us plan to wait until the second young lady gets married before leaving to join in the fun. Sister-in-law, you don't mind, right?"
  When Yu Qinglian heard this, he hesitated and said: "I don't mind, you also know the old lady's side..."
  "That's it." Shen Zishan took the words and said, "Sister-in-law, go back and talk to mother. If mother doesn't agree, we will definitely not be shameless and continue to stay here."
  "Okay." Yu Qinglian agreed and said, "After dinner, I will go to my mother and tell her that you think of the second young lady. My mother will probably agree."
  After lunch, they dispersed, and Yu Qinglian went to Jing'an Garden.
  The old lady didn't intend to agree, but she remembered that several people were also adding excitement to Shen Zhuoxi's wedding, so she said nothing and reluctantly agreed.
  On the other side, Shen Qingqing and Shen Wanwan saw Shen Jingya coming out and planned to have a good talk with her. The sisters had a good relationship before.
  However, Shen Jingya avoided it and was unwilling to talk to them. The two sisters were suspicious and bribed their servants to inquire, and then they found out what happened to Shen Jingya earlier.
  "The eldest lady doesn't want to get close, the fourth lady is nowhere to be seen, the second lady is too busy to touch the ground, and the third lady who is the only one free is notorious." Shen Wanwan returned to the yard and said depressedly.
  "If this continues, when will we be able to use their connections to get into the circle of other wealthy ladies?"
  Shen Qingqing didn't expect this, and said displeasedly: "Fortunately, I didn't get involved with Shen Jingya. I thought, let's focus on the eldest lady."
  "I asked someone before lunch, and they said that she has a close relationship with the prince, but they are having some conflicts now, and there are many people in Shengdu who are close to her."
  "In a few days, one of her close friends is getting married. Let's send some congratulatory gifts to bring them closer together?"
  Mrs. Kong sighed: "This is the only way. We are going to have dinner together during the Ghost Festival tomorrow. I will create an opportunity for you."
