Chapter 314: Pretending to be sick
  Even if the housekeeper didn't finish his words, Shen Zhuoxi knew what the housekeeper meant.
  It is difficult to store crabs in such a hot weather, and they will easily die overnight. It is not easy to transport or store fresh crabs, and they cost a lot of money.
  In previous years, it was Yu Qinglian who took care of this matter, and the money in Yu Qinglian's hands would definitely not be used to supplement it. The person who was taken advantage of naturally became Han Xiangru.
  For the sake of her own status in the Grand Master's Mansion, and for Shen Jingya to feel better under Yu Qinglian, Han Xiangru didn't mind spilling some blood.
  This year is different. Han Xiangru has been abandoned long ago, and Yu Qinglian has also been expelled from her home. The only money left in the Taishi Mansion is not enough for the people of the Taishi Mansion to squander.
  The housekeeper is also in a difficult position. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!
  However, even if Shen Zhuoxi knew it, he still had to pretend not to know.
  She didn't care about the house's accounts, and she couldn't possibly pay for the Yu family's emptying of the Grand Master's house.
  The housekeeper thought Shen Zhuoxi would understand if he said half the words but not the other half. Unexpectedly, he didn't hear the sound for a while.
  He raised his head anxiously and reminded: "Second Miss, if you add more crabs, it will cost a lot. We spent a lot on the Ghost Festival last month. I'm afraid we won't be able to..."
  Shen Zhuoxi rested half of his body weight on the soft table. He supported his head with one hand and said with a wistful expression, "The grand master said today that Princess Dunzhu will come to the residence to celebrate the festival."
  "When a foreign princess comes, we can't let her look down upon the Grand Master's Mansion. Feel free to use whatever is good."
  "That's what I said." The steward was anxious and pointed out clearly: "We don't have much money on the books. We bought a new batch of chrysanthemums during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Counting other expenses, it's not enough at all!"
  "It's not enough, so there's nothing I can do about it." Shen Zhuoxi seemed to feel very uncomfortable, and her voice became hoarse: "Go to the Grand Master and ask him what to do."
  The butler looked at the situation and knew that Shen Zhuoxi was not planning to take the fight, so he had to say: "The little man will go see the Grand Master first."
  "Okay, I got caught in the rain yesterday, and I feel uncomfortable and tight now." Shen Zhuoxi squinted his eyes slightly, his cheeks turned red due to the high fever: "I guess it's because of the cold wind, I don't have the strength to take care of it."
  "You have gone back to the Grand Master. I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet."
  "Yes." The butler responded and said, "I'll go right away, little man."
  After the housekeeper left, Aunt Ju brought ice cubes over and whispered: "You should just leave this mess alone. You shouldn't have done it before. The house is in chaos. Let's take care of ourselves."
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi was weak, still leaning on the table, and said slowly: "If I didn't suddenly get sick with a high fever, I would really have to take care of this mess and teach Shen Zehuan a lesson."
  "Are you sick? In addition, the Taishi Mansion wants to get money from me, so let's put it off for a while. This matter of management will later fall on Shen Zehuan."
  Aunt Ju nodded and said distressedly: "You are already like this, rest quickly, I will go find the doctor."
  "No need." Shen Zhuoxi stopped Aunt Ju and said, "It's just a small matter."
  "How can it be such a small thing when it is burned like this?" Grandma Ju felt uneasy, recalling the situation many years ago and said: "When you were five years old, you also had such a high fever."
  "At first I thought it was just a little cold, and it would be fine after taking some medicine. Unexpectedly, after having a fever for three days, suddenly..." Speaking of this, Grandma Ju couldn't help crying.
  "No matter how big or small the illness is, it cannot be delayed. You are kind to Xu Zhisheng, and he will not dare to harm you."
  Seeing her like this, Shen Zhuoxi could only let her go.
  On the other side, the housekeeper went to the study to talk to Shen Heshan about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. He didn't add any exaggeration and just replied according to Shen Zhuoxi's original words.
  Shen and Shanben were glared at by Shen Zhuo angrily. When they heard the news, they became even more furious and kicked the table hard.
  The movement was too big, causing a dull bruise from Jing Muling's previous kick.
  Shen Heshan hissed and said angrily: "Shen Zhuoxi, she really rebelled. Tomorrow is the banquet, and she still responded in the afternoon. She is clearly teasing us by giving me a pick tonight!"
  "Go and tell her that she will accept this matter whether she accepts it or not!"
  The housekeeper was startled, took a step back, and whispered: "Grand Master, don't get so angry. I see, the second young lady is indeed in trouble."
  "What's her problem?" Shen Heshan blew his beard and glared angrily: "It's just that she's afraid of asking her to give money. Humph, after so many years in the Grand Master's Mansion, she's not even willing to give out any money!"
  The housekeeper said cautiously: "The second young lady's body is rippling, she must be suffering from severe wind chill, her face is burned red, she must be really unwell."
  "Hmph." Shen Heshan snorted again, obviously not believing it: "When she talked back to me in the afternoon, she was still very angry, and she didn't look sick at all."
  "It's only been a few hours and you're already seriously ill?"
  The housekeeper lowered his head and muttered: "The second lady's voice has become hoarse, probably because of the cold wind."
  Shen Heshan thought for a while and finally ordered: "Go and ask the young master to come over."
  The bruises all over Shen Zehuan's body have not subsided yet. However, the swelling has subsided slightly after applying the medicine, but it still cannot be seen from its original appearance.
  Seeing his miserable appearance, Shen Heshan frowned and said, "Isn't he feeling better?"
  "The doctor said he was injured inside." Shen Zehuan deliberately said it seriously to win Shen Heshan's sympathy: "You also know that King Yu is a martial artist, so he will definitely hit hard and he will not be cured so quickly."
  Shen Heshan frowned even more: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and Princess Dunzhu is coming. How can you see her like this?"
  "Princess Dunzup is not much better." Shen Zehuan still had the intention to joke: "She was stung by a bee. It has been several days and the swelling has not subsided."
  "You can only laugh at this kind of thing. If she really can't get better, if you marry a disfigured woman as your wife, your spine will be broken in the future." Shen Heshan paused and returned to the topic.
  "Since Princess Dunzhu is coming, it will add splendor to the house. Since she is here for you, you can lend a hand in handling the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
  Shen Zehuan was stunned: "Didn't I say to leave it to the second sister earlier?"
  "Yes, but she is sick and has no energy to take care of it." Shen Heshan said, and added: "The housekeeper said that everything is almost ready, and there are only a few trivial things left to complete."
  "Besides, there is a shortage of money. How much money is left from the money your mother gave you earlier?"
  Shen Zehuan's mind turned around and he figured out what the problem was.
  With Shen Zhuoxi's temperament, it is impossible to subsidize the Taishi Mansion.
  Does Shen Heshan mean that he should pay for it out of his own pocket?
  Shen Zehuan quickly calculated in his mind and said: "The money my mother gave me was not much. When I went out with the third prince, I paid for most of it, so there is no leftover."
  "Father, our grand master's palace is so big that we can't even afford a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? If you tell me this, no one in the entire Shengdu will believe it, right?"
  "Alas!" Shen Heshan sighed and looked at Shen Zehuan with helplessness and regret: "At first, your mother took care of all the accounts, but she transferred all the money to your uncle."
  "Now the money can't be recovered. After becoming a grand master, you have to be clean and honest. All the shops are gone. How much money is left? Several villages are also losing money every year."
  "There are so many mouths in the Grand Master's Mansion. They need money to eat and drink every day. Everything costs money. How can there be any leftover?"
  After saying that, without giving Shen Zehuan a chance, he continued: "I know your mother left some for you. Since Princess Dunzhu is here for you, she can't miss anything, so I'll leave this matter to you."
  "I want to go to the Prince's Mansion. If you don't understand anything, just ask your grandmother."
