The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 38 Finalized
  Aunt Ju's words reminded Shen Zhuoxi of the time when she came back from Prince Yu's Mansion a few days ago and met the ladies pushing Pai Gow with Yu Qinglian in the pavilion.
  There seems to be one person inside, the wife of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and several people even joined forces to ridicule her.
  The road between enemies is narrow!
  The corners of Shen Zhuoxi's lips curled up slightly and he said, "What kind of lie did the owner of Dongshun Restaurant do?"
  "The owner says he is the owner, but he is not the big boss. Madam Shaoqing of Dali Temple's maiden name is Wu. She has been in business for many years and has restaurants and some small shops under her name." Xu Zhisheng sighed and said.
  "Dongshun Restaurant is managed by the eldest son who is a direct descendant of the Wu family. The eldest son was idle. He studied for many years and even relied on scholars. He went through the back door and got a job as an editor under the Shengdu Yamen."
  "I don't go to the yamen or the restaurant on weekdays. I hang out with a bunch of dandies from Shengdu. I only know how to live and drink. How do I know how to manage a restaurant?"
  "So the restaurant's expenses and accounts are handed over to the Third Young Master who is a commoner to look over for him. The Third Young Master does have some real skills, but it's a pity that he is a commoner and cannot be reused."
  "A few months ago, the third young master suddenly fell ill and could no longer manage the restaurant's accounts. The shopkeeper saw that several masters ignored him and began to hide the truth and use cheap ingredients instead."
  "Not only that, he also used the name of the shopkeeper to open a false account and make money from it. When the villain's son was sorting out the accounts, he found something wrong. After careful inspection, he found that the shopkeeper actually made false accounts and secretly transferred tens of thousands of taels of silver. .”
  "The villain's son is just, and he wanted to expose it, but he accidentally overheard that the eldest son and the shopkeeper were colluding!"
  When Grandma Ju heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt: "According to what you said, the entire Dongshun Restaurant is managed by the eldest son of the Wu family. If he wants money, he can just deduct it from the accounts."
  "There is no need to collude with the shopkeeper and do some sneaky things."
  "Mommy doesn't know." Xu Zhisheng wiped away his tears and said, "The Wu family relies on the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to have a place in Shengdu, so all the shops under the Wu family's name are owned by Shaoqing's house."
  "At the end of the year, the accounts must be submitted for accounting and then dividends distributed. In a situation like the eldest son's, he only has more money than others every month. He has no right to directly take away the money earned by the shop."
  Only then did Grandma Ju understand and glanced at Shen Zhuoxi.
  Shen Zhuoxi listened briefly and took over the conversation: "Master Wu found out that your son overheard the truth and was worried that he would expose it, so he simply framed the stolen money on him."
  "That's right." Old Xu Zhisheng burst into tears and said, "Master Wu keeps saying that the villain's son is the accountant and that he made the accounts false."
  "He was also sent to the Wu family for interrogation. Eighty-nine thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Seeing that he refused to admit it, the Wu family sent him to the Yamen. The eldest son Wu took up a post in the Yamen again."
  "He has been locked up for more than ten days, and there is no news yet. The villain put money in his hands to inquire a few days ago, and all I know is that they used torture. If this continues, I'm afraid he will be beaten into submission!"
  Shen Zhuoxi frowned, thinking of something, and asked: "You said before that the accounts of the restaurant are taken care of by the third son of a concubine?"
  "Yes, the villain's son is an ordinary accountant. He submits the accounts every month, and then the Third Young Master will check them." Xu Zhisheng added not knowing why she asked this.
  "The third young master is a good man. He takes good care of the villain's son. It's a pity that good men do not have a good life."
  Shen Zhuoxi knew what the problem was and asked, "What disease does the Third Young Master have?"
  Xu Zhisheng shook his head and said: "I don't know about this little guy. I vaguely heard that it was a cough."
  "I'm afraid that the illness is fake. This third young master has long sensed something is wrong and is worried about getting involved, so he claims to be sick and gets out of the mess of Dongshun Restaurant." Shen Zhuoxi fiddled with the teacup on the table and said.
  "Is there any way you can contact the third young master of the Wu family?"
  "The third young master rarely goes out since he claimed to be ill." Xu Zhisheng understood what Shen Zhuoxi meant, so he said, "I'm not sure either."
  "You can find a way to bring the Third Young Master here." Shen Zhuoxi took a sip of tea and said, "He is the only person who can prove your son's innocence."
  "But..." Xu Zhisheng hesitated: "The third young master cannot speak in the Wu family. Even if he knew, he would not dare to speak."
  "I have a way to get him to help you." Shen Zhuoxi turned his head, stared at Xu Zhisheng, and said, "No one else can know what happened today, especially Aunt Hua."
  "Yes, yes, I will definitely not tell anyone." Xu Zhisheng vowed, and then looked at Shen Zhuoxi cautiously: "Second Miss, you are so helpful to me."
  "The villain has nothing to repay. From now on, the villain will definitely work as a cow or a horse, and make a ring of grass."
  "There is no need for it later." Shen Zhuoxi took out the deed paper that he had prepared a long time ago and said, "Read the treaty above clearly, and it will be used by me in the future."
  Xu Zhisheng took it over suspiciously, read it carefully, and said in disbelief: "Are you the boss of Ngee Antang?"
  "That's right." Shen Zhuoxi said calmly: "You come to Ngee Antang for consultations every fifteen or two months. Depending on your performance at the end of the year, you can still get money independently, which is better than your wild life outside."
  Xu Zhisheng only earns 40 to 50 taels of silver a year now, and most of them are paid with shady intentions. The risks are very high. For example, this time at the Grand Master's Mansion, it fell into the hands of Shen Zhuoxi.
  Being able to get a consultation at a regular medicine shop like Ngee Antang, which costs more than a hundred taels a year, is risk-free and makes you laugh out of your dreams.
  He was afraid that Shen Zhuoxi would regret it, so he quickly responded: "I am willing!"
  "After coming to Ngee Antang, you can no longer do evil things. Doctors must not lose their benevolence and moral bottom line." Shen Zhuoxi's voice became stern: "Those who practice medicine have sworn in front of the medical ancestors."
  "That's for sure." Xu Zhisheng said sarcastically: "The villain was also forced by life before. He had no choice but to have the child's mother go early and pull the child alone, with the old mother on top."
  "Follow Miss Second, you are so generous, I will definitely live up to your reputation and that of Yi Antang."
  "You don't dare either." Shen Zhuoxi sneered: "The contract clearly states that if you do something that damages your reputation, you must pay one million taels of silver in compensation."
  Xu Zhisheng said firmly: "Absolutely not. If you help the villain and provide such a good place like Yi'antang, the villain will listen to you for the rest of his life."
  After Shen Zhuoxi and Xu Zhisheng finalized the decision, they called Li Zhong to give instructions.
  Previously, there was only one old doctor who treated Shen Zhuoxi in Yi Antang. The old doctor was very old and could rarely practice medicine. Yi Antang gradually turned into a medicine shop.
  After Shen Zhuoxi took over, he wanted to rebuild it into a medical clinic and make it the largest and best medical clinic in Shengdu!
  Li Zhong naturally listened to Shen Zhuoxi's arrangements in everything, and immediately vacated a wing in the backyard for Xu Zhisheng.
  After doing all this, it was completely dark. Shen Zhuoxi and Aunt Ju bought some things and missed dinner time when they returned home.
  Everyone in Taishi's Mansion had not dispersed after finishing their meal, and the servants were removing the leftovers in twos and threes.
  When Shen Zhuoxi entered, Yu Qinglian saw him and greeted him affectionately: "Zhuoxi is back. Have you had dinner?"
