Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 109

Yun Manrou sighed, she looked at her travel-worn daughter and said: "Your father received a letter a few days ago, and then said that he had something to leave in a hurry. He didn't say where he was going or when he would come back. Now I want to There is no way to contact him."

Shen Wanyu frowned, it seemed that some people wanted to take advantage of her father not doing anything anymore.Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mother, now grandma is poisoned. You are the only one who can make decisions in the whole Hou's mansion. You must take good care of the Hou's mansion before daddy comes back and grandma gets better." .”

"Mother knows." Yun Manrou nodded, she could no longer avoid it at this time.

"Miss, madam. The imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have arrived." Nanny Jin ran in from the outside and reported to Yun Manrou.

"The Empress Dowager specially asked someone from the Imperial Hospital to come over and treat grandma together." Shen Wanyu quickly explained, then looked at Nanny Jin and said, "Mommy Jin, hurry up and invite everyone in."

Nanny Jin responded and ran out quickly.After a while, several imperial physicians were brought in.

"Several imperial physicians, I will leave my grandmother's illness to you." Shen Wanyu immediately went up to greet her, holding the hand of Imperial Physician Li with worry and tears in her eyes.

"Miss Shen, don't worry, we will do our best."

After the several imperial physicians finished speaking, they immediately entered the inner room.Not daring to delay a bit, dispatched several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital.Not even the emperor's concubines have such rights. It is conceivable how important the old lady of Beining Hou Mansion is to the queen mother, and they naturally dare not neglect her.

After three hours, several imperial physicians came out from the inner room.There was a sigh of relief on the faces of several people, which made Shen Wanyu feel relieved.

"Doctor, how is my grandmother?" She hurried forward to ask.

"The poison in the old lady's body is cleared, but I still need to warm up my body." Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's hard work for the imperial physicians." Yun Manrou walked over, she turned her head to look at Nanny Jin and said, "Nurse Jin, send the imperial physicians away."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Jin responded, turned around and said respectfully: "Principal doctors, please."

There were only a few people left in the warm pavilion, Yun Manrou breathed a sigh of relief.There was an unconcealable exhaustion between her brows, and she looked back at the aunts and young ladies behind her.

"Mother is fine, and you have all been waiting here for a long time. Go back and rest."

"The old lady is fine, so we can rest assured. It's really God's blessing." The second aunt breathed a sigh of relief, put her hands together and bowed to the Bodhisattva.Then she looked at Yun Manrou worriedly, and said in a gentle voice: "Madam, don't be too tired, then we will all go back first. If there is anything, just send someone to call me."

Yun Manrou waved her hand, and said a little tiredly: "I see, let's go."

Several other aunts also said a few words, and then they all left Anlu Yuan with their servants.Shen Wanyu looked at the few people who left, and a cold light flashed in a dark place.

"Mother, my daughter should go back and change her clothes first. Grandma's poison has been cured, so don't tire yourself out too much." Shen Wanyu patted her mother's hand, then looked at Nurse Jin: "Nurse Jin, Fu Niang kiss back."

"Yes, Miss." Nanny Jin nodded, and stepped forward to support Yun Manrou.

When Shen Wanyu returned to Yuyuan, her complexion immediately became gloomy.Back in the inner room, Qiuzhu immediately called Chunlan and Yushui into the inner room.

"Yushui, tell me what happened in the mansion during this time. Grandma, why was she poisoned? Is this how you completed the task I entrusted to you?" cold light.There is a murderous aura lingering around him, which makes people feel frightened.

"I'm sorry, Miss. Yu Shui failed the entrustment of the lady. He didn't protect the old lady well." Yu Shui knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said responsibly: "Today someone suddenly broke into Yuyuan, and Yu Shui chased him out. Come back By that time, the old lady had already been poisoned."

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes when she heard the words, it was really a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.But who is it? No one in the Hou's mansion, except grandmother and father, should know about Yushui's martial arts.

"After the old lady was poisoned, I went to investigate immediately. I found this." Yu Shui looked at Chunlan who was standing aside, and nodded to her.

Chunlan immediately left the inner room, and after a while she came in with a ceramic bowl.Handed it to her, Shen Wanyu took the ceramic bowl.She looked at a few people with some doubts, then she lowered her head and leaned closer to the ceramic bowl to smell it.His eyes narrowed, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer.

Looking at the exquisite ceramic bowl in his hand, it contained nutritious bird's nest soup with rock sugar.I'm afraid that no one would have thought that such a good tonic would be a bowl of poison that can kill people. It seems that some people can't wait to do it when they see their father is gone.

Shen Wanyu put down the ceramic bowl in her hand, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, with a cold arc drawn at the corner of her mouth. "Yushui, you said that the weather is so bright today, we should do something, right?"

Since some people can't wait to make a move, don't blame her for being cruel.

Seeing the cold smile of the young lady, Qiuzhu and the others couldn't help but shudder. It was obviously a very hot summer, how could she feel as if she was in the twelfth lunar month of winter.Shen Wanyu ignored Qiu Zhu and the others, stood up slowly and walked out of the room.

When they came to 'Liyuan', San Yiniang and Shen Yuning were drinking tea and chatting, with a few servant girls standing behind them serving them.The mother and daughter were smiling, not knowing what happy things they said.

"Oh, who do I think it is? What kind of wind brought the eldest lady here today." Third Aunt picked up the teacup and took a sip of the hot tea without even raising her eyelids.For this eldest lady, she didn't pay attention at all.

"I think the sun is coming out from the west today, isn't it big sister?" Shen Yuning raised her head and looked like a charming woman who came in.A look of amazement quickly flashed across his eyes, and then turned into a look of jealousy.

It's just that she hasn't seen her for a while, but this Shen Wanyu will become more and more beautiful, with a very different temperament.Could it be that this palace supports people like this?Look at that charming temperament revealing a charming temperament, already so attractive at such a young age.

Shen Wanyu walked into the hall slowly, her bright and dark eyes swept across the people in the room.She slowly sat down at the table, picked up the tea and poured herself a cup of high-quality hot tea, lazily put it in front of her nose and smelled it lightly, a faint fragrance of tea came over her face.

"I didn't expect that Third Aunt would really enjoy drinking such a good cup of green tea in this hot summer." The white and slender jade hand held the teacup to her delicate red lips and took a sip.

People in the world say that clear tea needs to be savored carefully, and the true flavor can only be obtained by sipping the mouth. Although the tea soup tastes a little bitter at the entrance, when the tea soup stays in the mouthpiece for a while, you can feel the tea soup penetrate the gap between the teeth and ooze the gums. Ganjin is produced by the root of the tongue and sent back to the surface of the tongue. At this time, the mouth is full of fragrance, and the nectar "produces body fluid", which makes people refreshed, and the body fluid overflows, which lasts for a long time and does not disperse and is not thirsty. This is the best feeling of drinking tea. .

At this time, Shen Wanyu was a little lazy, exuding an indescribably charming charm, I have to say that the third aunt's taste is still good.

Hearing that the third aunt raised her head to look at the lazy Shen Wanyu, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.This Shen Wanyu never came here for half a step on weekdays, why did she suddenly come here today?Could it be that…

"Miss, did you come here to smell the fragrance?" She looked away, lowered her head and continued to drink the tea in her hand.She couldn't help but mess up.

"Hehe..." Shen Wanyu raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled mockingly.

"So third aunt, you still know that I am the eldest lady of Beininghoufu." Shen Wanyu casually played with the teacup in her hand, she raised her bright and dark eyes to look at third aunt who obviously paused while holding the teacup.There was a sneering smile on the corner of her mouth, "I thought it was the third aunt who was old and forgot the rules in the residence."

Looking in surprise at the third aunt whose complexion had obviously become ugly, her smiling eyes were full of coolness.

"Shen Wanyu, don't think that you are great because you are the eldest lady of the Hou's mansion, you are just an uneducated little slut." Shen Yuning looked at Shen Wanyu who was very different from usual, and her heart was on fire. Get up and burn all her sanity into flames.She was not convinced why this savage little slut who knew nothing could treat her and her mother like this.Now looking at her delicate and charming face, she really wanted to destroy her.

"How could I forget the rules in this house, the eldest lady is really joking." Third Aunt stood up and held her impulsive daughter, and gave her a wink.

Seeing her mother winking at her, Shen Yuning cast a vicious glance at Shen Wanyu, who was as lazy as a cat, and stopped talking.

'bang'

Shen Wanyu slammed the teacup onto the ground heavily, and the teacup instantly shattered into several pieces.The bright eyes swept towards the third aunt coldly, and she said in a cold voice, "I think there are more and more no rules in this mansion. You, a little aunt, can call yourself my daughter in front of me, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion." ?"

Third Auntie frowned tightly, feeling a little dull and aching in her heart.This heart seems to be grabbed by someone, it is tightly blocked.

"Concubine, I know I was wrong." Third Aunt held back the anger and reluctance in her heart and gritted her teeth and replied. Although she was not favored, she had never been humiliated like this.

But she knew very well the truth that if you can't bear it, you will make troubles and schemes, and now she understands that today she, Shen Wanyu, is here to trouble herself, no matter what she says or does, it is wrong.This little slut just didn't like her, so she lowered her eyelids to hide the viciousness and unwillingness in her eyes.

"Shen Wanyu, you dare to talk to my mother like that. It doesn't matter that you are the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. No matter how you say it, she is also your elder, you little bitch who has no respect for elders."

Seeing her mother being humiliated by Shen Wanyu, Shen Yuning couldn't take it anymore.She stood up abruptly, walked in front of Shen Wanyu and raised her hand to give her a slap.

The applause sounded crisp and clear in this quiet hall, especially clear and piercing.

A slap fell on Shen Yuning's delicate cheek, and Shen Wanyu lazily withdrew her white and slender hand.Looking coldly at Shen Yuning who was covering her already red and swollen cheeks, the cold light in her eyes made Shen Yuning take a step back involuntarily, and her body trembled even more.

"Housekeeper, what kind of punishment will this subordinate suffer in the waiting mansion." She coldly glanced at Shen Yuning who was full of panic, and sneered in her heart.Are you scared now?It's a pity that it's too late.She withdrew her gaze, turned her head and looked indifferently at the housekeeper who had been standing beside her.

"The staff is responsible for 50 boards." Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead, not daring to be negligent.This young lady is different today than usual, which makes people feel very scary.

"Come on, pull me down for execution. That's right, call everyone in the house to watch." A faint voice came from Shen Wanyu's mouth, as cold as snow in the twelfth lunar month.

Seeing the hesitation of those servants, she frowned slightly.Just when he was about to reprimand him, a cold and majestic voice came from the door.

"Didn't you hear what the eldest lady said?" Yun Manrou, who was notified that Shen Wanyu had brought someone to the third aunt, rushed over. She knew that her daughter was going to take the third aunt for surgery. She was a little worried at first, but seeing The development in this hall stood quietly outside the house and watched.

I wanted my daughter to solve it by herself, but I saw the hesitation of the servants.A wave of anger welled up in her heart, she really didn't expect that she has been ignoring the affairs of the house, these servants can no longer tell who is the master.

Immediately, the people suddenly felt an invisible coercion, and quickly lifted Shen Yuning who was struggling, and entrusted her out.

"Mother, save me. I don't want to be boarded." Shen Yuning struggled vigorously, she looked at Yun Manrou in disbelief, this lady who never went out could be so vicious.

"Shen Yuning, you little bitch..." She shifted her gaze to Shen Wanyu, her pupils were filled with unwillingness and anger.He is obviously a waste, so why should he be favored by everyone.

"Pull it down and hit me hard." Yun Manrou's eyes sank when she heard Shen Yuning's words.If she dared to insult her daughter like this in front of her, then she didn't care how arrogant they should treat her poor daughter these years regardless of the affairs of the house.His eyes swept coldly towards the pale-faced Third Auntie, and her eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Remember, I am the mistress of the Hou's mansion. Shen Wanyu is the only concubine of the Hou's mansion. If you can't tell who is the real master in the future, don't blame me for being rude." Bing Leng His eyes swept across the crowd, and the aura of a superior erupted. He paused and said, "The family law of the Marquis Mansion is not a decoration, and anyone who violates the family law must be served by the family law."

Everyone gasped, their bodies trembling involuntarily.His legs went limp, and he knelt down in unison and quickly replied loudly, "Yes!"

It just so happened that Shen Yuning's shrill scream came from outside at this time, but Shen Wanyu lowered her head and drank the tea in her hand lazily as if she had never heard it.There was just a condensed smile on the corner of his mouth. This was the end of angering her, but this was just the beginning.

Third Aunt heard her daughter's miserable cries coming from the yard, every sound was like an invisible big hand grabbing her heart.The hands covered under the long sleeves were clenched tightly, and the nails dug into the palms of the palms abruptly, as if only such pain could overcome her love for her daughter at this time.

The shrill screams outside gradually died down, and a servant ran in.

"Madam, Eldest Miss, Third Miss, she fainted."

After hearing the reports from the servants, Third Aunt couldn't bear it anymore.She knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried bitterly, begging for mercy: "Ma'am, Yu Ning is still young, and if she continues beating her like this, it will kill her. For the sake of her being Lord Hou's daughter, let her be spared this time." .”

Yun Manrou looked at Third Aunt who was kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, with obvious disgust and contempt in her eyes.She raised her foot and kicked Third Aunt away fiercely, and shifted her gaze to her daughter who was drinking tea casually, without looking at her again.Today, all of this is nothing but her own fault.

"Have passed out, have you hit fifty?" Shen Wanyu slowly raised her head to look at the servant at the door, and saw him shaking her head.There was a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, "Go get a basin of cold water, wake up the third lady and continue beating her until fifty times."

A moment later, the miserable cry came from the quiet courtyard again, and he glanced lightly at the reactions of the people around him, looking at the panic and fear in their eyes.Only then did Shen Wanyu show a satisfied smile, today she just wants to establish her prestige in this mansion.

At this time, Yun Manrou did not intervene in this matter.Just sipping tea there quietly, with a slight smile on his face.

"Third Aunt, you won't feel bad, but this is the rule of the Hou Mansion. We have to abide by it, and the servants are all watching. Besides, I know that you have always been the one who knows the rules best." After the cold tea, she glanced lightly at the pale third aunt and said with a smile, "You said, right?"

"No. Yes, Zhen'er should be punished if she breaks the rules." Aunt Xiao gritted her teeth and replied forbearance. Now she can't wait to cut Qingyou into pieces.

At this moment, the two servants brought in Shen Yuning, who was dying and unconscious. Seeing this, San Yiniang rushed over and hugged her daughter into her arms.Looking at her unconscious daughter, she couldn't help crying anymore.

Shen Wanyu looked at this scene of deep love between mother and daughter with cold eyes, her eyes were full of sarcasm.Turning around, he ordered the two servants standing beside him, "Bring Miss San back to the room, and ask the doctor to come and have a look."

"Whoever violates the rules of the house in the future will be punished according to the rules of the house, without mercy." Her eyes flicked past everyone, her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, and a deep and cold voice came from her red lips: "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone replied in unison, and the loud figure could be heard throughout the mansion.

Hearing the unanimous answer from the people behind her, Shen Wanyu's mouth curled up in a satisfied arc.Today was just a blow to the people in the house. After this time, she thought that no one would dare to disobey her and her mother's words.

Now that she has achieved her goal, she doesn't want to stay here to waste any more time, and looks at the beautiful mother who has stood up and Yu Shui who is standing aside.The three looked at each other and smiled, got up and left together.

Afterwards, everyone also left, but at this moment, no one noticed the distressed and pale Third Aunt who was sitting on the ground.

Shen Wanyu walked to the door and stopped suddenly.She turned her head slowly, looked at Third Aunt and said coldly: "The rock sugar bird's nest soup made by Third Aunt is really delicious. If Wanyu wants to eat it in the future, she will definitely come to Third Aunt to ask for a bowl."

After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Third Auntie's reaction.Turn around and follow mother, and leave together.

Third Yiniang's body shook, she suddenly limp and fell to the ground.What does she know.
She suddenly raised her head to look at the two people who were leaving, her black eyes were full of viciousness and killing intent.These two people, Shen Wanyu and Yun Manrou, have bullied people too much today, you just wait for me, the humiliation today will be doubled back in the future.

After leaving San Yiniang's yard, they went to Yun Manrou's yard.The warm wind blew Shen Wanyu's black hair, she slowly closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"Mother, do you think what your daughter did today is too much?"

I taught those two people a lesson today, and if they don't provoke her again in the future, she won't bother them either.After all, Shen Yuning is also her father's biological daughter, so she still estimates how her father feels.

Yun Manrou reached out and rubbed her daughter's smooth hair, her eyes were full of love.Now that this girl has become like this, she and her husband can rest assured.There are some things that only she can be ruthless about.

"I know you have worries in your heart, but you don't need to think about those." The beautiful face looked up to the sky, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a gentle arc, "Just remember, no matter what you do, my mother will stand behind you."

It seemed that some decision had been made, Yun Manrou's eyes were full of determination: "From now on, mother will be your strong backing."

"Mother, I understand. My daughter will definitely not let you down." The corners of Shen Wanyu's lips curled up slightly, and Shen Wanyu's clear eyes curved into crescents.

"Mother believes in you." Yun Manrou smiled softly, and stretched out her hand to pinch her nose.

"Mother, the fact that my grandmother was poisoned this time and my father left suddenly. Don't you think the timing is too coincidental." Shen Wanyu frowned, she was not sure who poisoned her grandmother.It was just to test the third aunt just now.

"I didn't think much about it at first, but now that I think about it, it seems that what you said made some sense." Yun Manrou's eyes became serious, and her daughter's words seemed to be a wake-up call.

"We must find the person who poisoned me." Yun Manrou glanced at her daughter with her eyes lowered, and then sighed.

"Yu'er can do whatever you want, and mother will support you if you have anything to do. From today on, mother will let everyone know that my daughter, Yun Manrou, is not someone who can be bullied by anyone."

Yun Manrou suddenly paused, and a different sneer appeared on her soft face: "Mother, let me tell you, when you meet a big guy who has been beaten hard, if you can't beat him, come back and find your father, let you Daddy will fight for you until even his parents can't recognize her."

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched, and she looked in horror at her still unparalleled mother.Did she have hallucinations? How could such words come from the mouth of her gentle and beautiful mother.

She turned her head to look at Nanny Jin in a daze, but she saw excitement flickering in her eyes.
