Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 111 The Powerful Fourth Aunt
In the front hall of Beining Marquis Mansion, Shen Wenyan, who had just rushed back from the outside, sat on the main seat frowning.The charming peach blossom eyes sharply glanced at the woman who was kneeling on the ground. He rushed back as soon as he received the news that his mother was unwell. Just as soon as he got home, he made such a scene again.

"Master Hou, you have to decide for Wanqing. Look at her face, how important a woman's appearance is. Now that it has become like this, how do you let her live?"

The second aunt burst into tears again as she spoke, she held Shen Wanqing who was sobbing in her arms, and saw that her originally soft and beautiful face had several abscesses the size of a thumb.My heart felt distressed for a while. A few days ago, the doctor clearly said that the poison had been cured.But who knew that these things would suddenly grow on his face this morning.

This morning Shen Wanqing felt that her body was much better, so she got ready to find that woman to design a new set of dance and dance clothes for her.This time, she must amaze everyone at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. After all, she, Shen Wanqing, is the most talented woman in Da Kun's platoon.Although she was born as a concubine in the Hou's Mansion, she is famous in Dakun because of her appearance and talent.

But who would have thought that when she wanted to call a maid to dress her up in a glamorous way, she would end up like this.Such a horrible and ugly abscess appeared on the originally delicate and soft face.

At that time, she was so frightened that she almost passed out, but fortunately, the maid beside her, Feng Hua, ran out quickly and called the doctor to check her up.It was only then that she realized that someone had poisoned her again, and the dose of the poison was so slight that it would not be possible to detect it if it did not occur.

Second Auntie patted Shen Wanyu's thin back, a cold light flashed across her eyes.Fortunately, Feng Hua was a clever girl, so she went to invite the doctor early.If some of the poison is discovered later, it will be even more difficult to cure. If it delays the participation in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, then their plan cannot be carried out.

Shen Wanyu buried her face in Second Aunt's arms, she still remembered how scary her face was.With so many people in the hall now, she didn't want them to see her in such a mess.It's a pity that she seems to have forgotten that the second aunt had exposed her face to everyone just now, and it seems unnecessary to try to cover it up now.

Shen Wanyu sat beside Yun Manrou, watching the farce with cold eyes.Since they believed in her heart that it was her who poisoned her, then she could poison Shen Wanqing as they wished.

Shen Wenyan looked at Second Aunt coldly, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What do you mean by that? Do you want to say that someone in the Hou's mansion wants to harm Wanqing? Then tell me, whose motive is to harm her? "

Second Auntie couldn't help shaking when she heard Shen Wenyan's cold voice.She felt like her body had fallen into an ice cellar, but her heart was the coldest.They are also daughters. If today's matter fell on Shen Wanyu, that little bitch, Lord Hou would definitely not have this attitude, but she must seek justice for her daughter in today's matter.

"The Hundred Flowers Banquet is coming soon. Someone must be afraid that Wanqing will be too outstanding and overwhelm her. That's why they poisoned her. The purpose is to prevent her from attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

The second aunt hugged Shen Wanqing and cried again, her miserable crying sounded as if her daughter had died.

Shen Wanqing's temperament was always gentle and dignified when she was waiting at the mansion, and she was the most generous and kind.Treat the servants with tolerance, and treat the elders with respect and filial piety.So everyone in the Hou Mansion also liked her very much, so the poison was definitely not given to her by servants, so there were only a few aunts and young ladies left.

As for no one thinking of Yun Manrou, that's because of that day after Hiliwei.She has always been by the old lady's side and served her personally.

When Shen Wenyan heard Second Aunt's words, his heart suddenly burst into anger. This Su family is too noisy.Now that the old lady's health is just getting better, she can't settle down a bit.Now it's not clear whether someone else poisoned her, so she insisted on making a big mess, and the Hou Fu's face would be lost in the end.

However, the matter of Shen Wanqing still needs to be investigated, it is really unclear whether she was poisoned by someone else.He sighed slightly, and was about to tell the housekeeper to investigate this matter, when he was stopped by Shen Wanyu, who had been quiet all along.

"Father, Second Aunt is certain that someone poisoned Second Sister in this matter. If so, then we will thoroughly investigate this matter. According to Second Aunt, we are all suspects. But Rong Wanyu said something The third aunt has been taking care of the third sister during this time, and the third sister has been recuperating in her own yard. So I think the suspicion of the third aunt and the third sister can be ruled out. Let the housekeeper bring the rest of the people. One of my servants will take over their yard."

With a slight smile on the corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth, she glanced at the crowd and said, "The people here are not allowed to leave until the housekeeper comes back after searching the yard."

Third Aunt lowered her head and clenched her hands under her long sleeves.She knew that Shen Wanyu said this on purpose, and this was to remind her again.Let her not forget the humiliation that day, she took a deep breath, and slowly raised her head to look at Shen Wenyan who was sitting on the main seat with a sullen face.

"Master Hou, Yu Ning's body is still not recovering, please allow me to take her back first."

Shen Wenyan glanced at the third aunt who was obviously much more haggard than before, and nodded after thinking for a while.Shen Wanyu watched San Yiniang leave with the spiritless Shen Yuning, she frowned.

Shen Wenyan narrowed his charming peach eyes slightly, and glanced at his daughter thoughtfully, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. When he came back, the butler had already told him all about her Liwei that day.But now, when she faced his sharp gaze, she could meet her so frankly without avoiding it.

As expected, this girl is changing a little bit, so he and Rou'er can rest assured.

Facing her father's deep eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, Shen Wanyu tilted her head slightly and looked at him.Now this situation is completely within her expectations, ever since she knew where her father had gone, she asked Persimmon to help find her father's whereabouts.Unexpectedly, the persimmon was so powerful that she found her father and told him about the poisoning of her grandmother.

So she took the time to let Shen Wanqing develop abscesses on her face today.She knew that Second Aunt would definitely come to her father and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly.And she designed so many, but for the sake of
"Housekeeper, take someone to search their yard." Shen Wenyan withdrew his gaze, patted the place next to him, looked at Shen Wanyu dotingly and said: "Yu'er, sit next to Daddy. Haven't you been out for a few days?" When I saw you, I missed you very much."

Shen Wanyu smiled coquettishly, and immediately obediently sat beside Shen Wenyan.Her eyes glanced vaguely at Second Aunt and Shen Wanqing who were still kneeling on the ground, her eyes were low and provocative.

"Daddy, look at Second Sister is not in good health yet. You can't let her sit on the ground like Second Aunt."

Second Aunt squeezed her palm tightly, she looked at Shen Wanyu gratefully in her eyes, but she didn't expect to see her eyes full of sarcasm when she looked at her.I am more and more sure that my daughter's disfigurement has nothing to do with her, she is really a vicious little bitch.

She actually wanted to ruin her daughter's appearance, how could such vicious thoughts appear on a teenage girl.It's okay if she grows up, but she seems to have forgotten it.What they did before was many times more vicious than this.

"Get up, what does it look like sitting on the ground?" Shen Wenyan said coldly, without even giving Second Aunt a look.

Second Yiniang didn't know why she suddenly let go of Shen Wanqing's hand, and just exposed her face to everyone's eyes.The face full of abscesses caused a gasp, looking at the obvious panic in everyone's eyes.Shen Wanyu desperately bit her lips to hold back the tears in her eyes, she reached out to cover her face.

Thinking of how her most proud appearance has become like this now, her eyes gleaming with hatred gleamed through her fingers and shot at Shen Wanyu, who had a faint smile on her lips.Looking at that charming little face now, she felt particularly glaring.

Facing Shen Wanyu's venomous gaze, she responded with a slight smile.Anyway, the mother and daughter decided that she was the one who poisoned them. Well, they guessed correctly that she did the poison.

"Rou'er, how is mother's body now?" Shen Wenyan looked at his wife tenderly, took her hand and pulled her to the other side of him to sit down.He was invited here when he came back, and he hadn't had time to see his mother yet.

"Mother's poison has been cured, and now Imperial Physician Zhang will come to see her every day. She is already much better, as long as she rests for a while, she will be fine. I just don't know if Mother can attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

A layer of blush appeared on Yunman's soft and beautiful face, she wanted to withdraw her hand but he held it even tighter.She could only stare at him coquettishly and then give up. When it came to the old lady, she couldn't help showing a hint of worry in her eyes.

"It's been hard for you these days." Shen Wenyan sighed, with a hint of guilt in his deep voice.Such a big thing happened without him, and she faced it alone.

"What are you talking about, that's my mother too." Yun Manrou shook her head, she had always regarded the old lady as her own mother.Over the years, the old lady has treated her as her own.The general feud between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not exist between her and the old lady.

Shen Wanyu looked at her parents whose relationship was much better than before, and she raised the corners of her lips to show a satisfied smile.She glanced at the second aunt and fourth aunt who were sitting below, and lowered her head slightly to hide the emotion in her eyes.

Why did these two women marry into the Hou's mansion?What are their respective goals? Fourth aunt's flat expression is not at all the reaction of a aunt who wants to compete for favor. It is normal for the second aunt's eyes to be jealous.

Fourth aunt?What an interesting person, she just likes this kind of mysterious person.She wants to unravel the mystery of her body layer by layer to see what kind of purpose she has in the end.

The second aunt lowered her head and did not want to see the harmony of the family above. She clenched her hands tightly and turned her head away to look at her poor daughter.

Soon the butler came back with a few servants, his face was a bit ugly.As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately handed over the things in his hand to Shen Wenyan.

"What is this?" Shen Wenyan frowned slightly, looking at the paper bag in his hand.

"This is Ninghuo Pill." Shen Wanyu took the paper bag from Shen Wenyan's hand and opened it, inside were several black pills.She picked up one and put it in front of her nose to smell it, her complexion changed slightly.

"Tell me, where did you find this?" Her face darkened, and she looked at the housekeeper coldly.

The housekeeper shuddered, he remembered what the eldest lady said in the third aunt's yard.He quickly said: "This was found in Fourth Aunt's room."

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the calm fourth aunt with gloomy eyes.I couldn't help but admire in my heart, this fourth aunt is really calm.

"Yu'er, what is this Ninghuo pill?" Seeing Shen Wanyu's gloomy expression, Shen Wenyan frowned and looked at her.

"Grandma's poison is the powder made from this Congealing Fire Pill." Shen Wanyu explained coldly, her eyes staring sharply at Fourth Aunt Niang.Don't let go of any changes in her expression, but it's a pity that she still has that very calm expression.

"Tell me, is it you who poisoned my mother?" Shen Wenyan's complexion changed when he heard the words, and anger immediately burned in his eyes.He widened his eyes and looked at Fourth Aunt angrily.

"Master Hou, Ruling has been with you for so many years. Don't you understand me? I have never fought for anything, so how could it be against the old lady. Besides, back then"

Fourth Aunt stood up slowly, and she looked at Shen Wenyan with calm eyes.Liu Mei frowned slightly, her elegant appearance carried a hint of sadness.She didn't finish her sentence, she just lowered her head slightly as if she was helpless.

Shen Wenyan frowned, and Shen Wanyu clearly felt that the anger in her father's eyes was a little less.He looked at Fourth Aunt with complicated eyes, and there was still struggle in his eyes.

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes, the way she looked at Fourth Auntie changed again and again.She really underestimated her, but her father was shaken by almost speaking.She looked at her own mother, only to find that her mother was looking at Fourth Aunt with cold eyes.There was no concealment of the hatred in those eyes.

The reactions of several people made her a little confused, and she always felt that there was something between the three of them that she didn't know.

"Then fourth aunt, can you explain why this thing appeared in your room?" Shen Wanyu raised her head to look at fourth aunt, her tone was very gentle, as if she was asking casually.

"I don't even know how this thing appeared in my room. If you don't believe me, then I have to die to prove my innocence."

Fourth Aunt's voice was as calm as her eyes, and she glanced at Shen Wanyu lightly.Suddenly, he moved his footsteps and slammed into the corner of the table beside him.

"Ruo Ling!"

Shen Wenyan's expression changed, and he ran over immediately.He picked up Fourth Aunt who had passed out after hitting her head, and ran outside.He still didn't forget to yell angrily at the butler who was stunned aside.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and ask the doctor!"
