Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 68 Greed also depends on appetite!
This time not only Shen Dong, but even the Zhao family raised their heads in astonishment. They all knew that Shen Xuanye was researching the prescription. The Zhao family has a queen, so it is not surprising to know the inside story, but let Shen Xuanye take the researched prescription to the Zhao family. See, that's not right!
Shen Dong's expression was a little stiff: "Mother-in-law, the royal family has ordered the entire imperial hospital to study the prescription for treating the plague for more than ten years, but there has been no progress until now. Although Xuan Ye has learned some medical skills from Master Chen, he can't compare with the imperial physician. ,he……"

Feng looked at Shen Dong with a half-smile, with faint smile lines on his slightly old-fashioned lips: "Uncle Shen, I never say anything groundless, since I dare to say something, I know something, you are the prime minister now , but it’s just a prime minister, whether some food can be eaten or not depends on one’s appetite.”

Shen Dong's eyes suddenly sank: "What do you mean by that?"

"The prescription for treating the plague can save thousands of people. Once the people know that the prescription is provided by your Shen family, the Shen family can definitely leap forward with the gratitude of the people. It is not impossible for the reputation to surpass my Zhao family." Feng Shi Looking coldly at the sunlight coming in from the door, "When the time comes, how can the royal family sit idly by?"

Shen Dong gritted his teeth slightly, he knew Feng's words were reasonable, but how could he be willing to hand over such a huge contribution?

Seeing that he seemed to be moved by the talk, Mrs. Feng continued: "Our Zhao family is different. Our Zhao family is a relative of the emperor, and the empress is the daughter of the Zhao family. Only when the queen is well can our Zhao family be better." , and you who marry us can go one step further."

Shen Ninghua stroked her sleeves slightly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, she was really thick-skinned, she was clearly acting like a robber, but she had to put on a glamorous shell, it was really shameless.

Shen Dong shook his head slightly: "Mother-in-law, if Xuan Ye can develop a cure for the plague, then there is no problem, but unfortunately his ability is limited, and he has no clue so far, which disappoints mother-in-law." Even if it is a compromise, Get the last benefit too!

The original curvature of Feng's lips flattened instantly: "If this is the case, then there is nothing to do, let me go." I don't know good and bad things!

"Mother-in-law, why don't you leave after I prepare the banquet?"

"I don't have that kind of blessing, just let Yunxiang and Linghan see me off." Feng Shi snorted coldly, and led Zhao Shi and Shen Linghan away surrounded by a group of maids and women.

Shen Dong sat on the chair, pinching his brows very tiredly.Shen Ninghua personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Shen Dong: "Father, drink some tea and have a rest."

Shen Ninghua's voice was unhurried, as if carrying reassuring power, Shen Dong looked up at her: "Ninghua, today's incident has wronged you."

Shen Ninghua shook her head with a smile: "Grandmother misunderstood me, and that's why she had prejudices. I can understand it." It is understandable, but it will never be forgiven.

"Well," Shen Dong nodded in relief, took a sip of tea, "I knew that continuing to study the prescription might attract red eyes from others, but I didn't expect that others would not move. The Zhao family couldn't help it. Once the prescription is developed, That's like walking on a broad road, and in the future..." As if he felt that he had said too much, Shen Dong suddenly stopped, and raised his eyes to stare at Shen Ninghua closely.

Shen Ninghua looked as usual, as if she didn't understand: "Father, don't worry too much, it's better to take care of your health. You are the head of the Shen family, and you are the minister of the emperor's humerus. Now that the country is in crisis, you should take care of yourself even more. , to save thousands of people.”

Shen Dong nodded, and glanced at Shen Ninghua with admiration: "Ninghua, you are more and more like your mother."

Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat, and she tried to keep her tone calm: "Mother...what kind of person is she?"

Shen Dong's expression was a little dazed, a smile first appeared on his lips, and then a trace of resentment and unwillingness appeared on his lips, and finally calmed down slowly, and he looked up after a while, looking very tired: "Go back, these two days the government It's not calm here, you should pay more attention."

Shen Ninghua felt anxious after hearing no news about her mother from Shen Dong, but at this time she must not be impatient, she could only force herself to endure it.

When she returned to Yingyue Residence, Qingque and Hongling had already got up and were cleaning the room.Seeing her coming in, all eyes looked at her brightly: "Miss, you are back."

Shen Ninghua paused: "Why do you get up, and dare to mess around because of your good health? You don't want this kind of kung fu, do you?"

Hong Ling shrunk her neck and lowered her head: "Miss, I'm afraid you won't get used to us not being by your side."

"Then I have to thank you?"

Hong Ling knew that Shen Ninghua was really angry, so she hurriedly ran to her, and she grinned her teeth because of the pain from the wound behind her: "Miss, don't be angry, we heard that those who beat us yesterday were all killed, and in our hearts I am very happy, so I want to take good care of the young lady to express my gratitude."

Shen Ninghua glared at her: "Okay, you don't need to express any thanks, go back and lie down quickly, and take the medicine twice."

After setting up the four maidservants, Shen Ninghua sat on the soft couch by the window, frowning in a daze.

Bai Po's face was still pale, seeing Shen Ninghua's frown, he asked softly: "Miss, but what happened in the front yard just now?"

"It's okay, the old lady of the Zhao family, Mrs. Feng, is here."

"The Zhao family? Aren't the eldest lady and the second young lady going to be proud?"

Shen Ninghua didn't answer, but Bai Po and the others could guess the result, and the anger and indignation in their hearts couldn't be calmed down. How many things did Shen Linghan do to frame Miss, just because she had the Zhao family behind her, so she could do whatever she wanted?

There was a movement at the door, and a vigorous figure suddenly jumped into the room.

"Brother Liuyun, are you here?" Seeing the visitor, Hong Ling immediately shouted happily.

The man was dressed in black warrior clothes, and his every move was strong and powerful: "I have met Miss."

Shen Ninghua smiled softly: "Yes."

Liu Yun got up and looked at the pale Bai Po, his eyes were full of concern: "Is Miss Bai Po okay?"

No matter how calm Bai Lu was, he blushed at this moment: "It's okay, thank you Brother Liuyun for your concern."

Liu Yun nodded, and the tall man stood there feeling a little cramped: "It's okay...it's fine, I helped you... last night to help you vent your anger, and those who were in charge of the staff were all blamed by me. removed."

Bai Ping smiled: "Thank you Brother Liuyun."

Liu Yun pulled the corners of his lips stiffly: "You're welcome, anyone who bullies you in the future will come to me, and I will vent your anger for you. Miss, I'll go back first."

"Okay, Xuanlin, you should take the trouble to teach him some life-saving things, and don't be implicated in the future."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Liuyun left, Hong Ling laughed and teased Bai Po, who stared at Bai Po several times.

However, Shen Ninghua walked to the window and looked at the side yard. Mrs. Zhao was sent back, followed by the two nuns Qian and Wu left behind by Mrs. Feng.

"Miss, are you worried?" Bai Zhi asked softly.

Shen Ninghua looked at Zhao's radiant face again, as if she was an outsider with no emotion in her eyes: "With the Zhao family here, as long as Zhao Yunxiang and Shen Linghan don't break the sky, the Zhao family will help them down."

Hong Ling was not fair: "Then our previous efforts were in vain?"

Bai Ping shook his head at her, it's better not to talk too much at this time to make the lady feel bad for nothing.Bizhu comforted: "Miss, don't worry too much. Although we can't do anything to them now, they have nothing to do with us. We will deal with it slowly in the future."

Shen Ninghua shook her head, her eyes seemed to reflect layers of fire: "Cut the mess quickly, I don't want to be trapped in the Shen family's backyard forever, I can only go out if I level this place."

"Miss, can you think of a way?"

"Things in the court are changing rapidly. Compared with a prestigious prime minister, the dictatorship of foreign relatives is more fearful to the emperor. Since the Zhao family is powerful and overshadows the sky with one hand, then I will let him break the day. Let's see when they I can't resist it!"

Bai Ping and the others felt a burst of icy chill, but their eyes were determined. As long as the young lady wants to do something, they will do their best.

For the next seven days, the Shen family was very peaceful on the surface, but in private there were all kinds of undercurrents.

The atmosphere in the courtroom became more and more condensed, the emperor Baili Qingcang got angry many times, and all the civil and military officials were trembling, like quails drenched in rain, trembling and unable to explain why.

Chen Yun, the director of the Taiyuan Hospital, stayed in the palace all day, and almost searched all the medical books of the Da'an Dynasty.But after spending a lot of effort, I still can't find the slightest effective way.

The plague in Pingcheng became more and more serious, and there were countless casualties.

After Shen Ninghua received the news, she frowned tightly. The longer it was delayed, the more dangerous Pingcheng would be. It was time to act.

Two days later, the atmosphere in the entire Da'an Dynasty was anxious, and most of the south of the Yangtze River was in danger. The refugees fled everywhere, hoping to find a way out.

The Zhao family suddenly broke out a shocking news. With the help of the leader of the Zhao family, Shen Xuanye and everyone finally found some clues to cure the plague.As soon as this news came out, the government and the public were shaken, and the emperor summoned Zhao Kun, the patriarch of the Zhao family, Shen Dong, Shen Xuanye and officials from various ministries overnight.It took a day and a night before Shen Dong and Shen Xuanye returned to Shen's house.

Shen Ninghua and Su Shi were sitting in the garden, seeing the two people striding towards the study from a distance, they turned their heads in unison.

It took a while before Su Shi picked up the teacup and said, "I saw elder brother and nephew Xuan Ye just now, and it seems that the Shen family's happy event is coming soon."

Shen Ninghua raised her head, and Su Shi had a smile on her face, but the smile was extremely faint, and one could see the hidden worry hidden behind it after careful identification: "Auntie's expression doesn't look happy."

With a flick of his fingers, Su's tea spilled a little and was poured on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Oh, let's have a good life, but if you have to go to the hot pot to suffer, how can you make me happy."

Shen Ninghua watched the water droplets on the table slowly faint and then dried by the wind: "Father wanted to use the strong wind to soar up, but he forgot that sometimes the wind is too strong but it will kill people."

Su sighed: "I heard that the Zhao family wanted to obtain the prescription from Xuanye, but there was no news after that. I thought it was Shen Xuanye who didn't find the prescription. I didn't expect to hear this amazing news just after I was relieved."

"What the Zhao family wants can be found in the inner courtyard of the deep palace. The Shen family's little water is not enough for the Zhao family." Feng's rejection was declined, how could she be willing to let the Shen family eat all the fat in front of her? He kept sending people to pester him, but Shen Dong didn't dare to really tear his face apart, so he could only try to get as much profit as possible. Seeing that it was the right time, the news broke that the prescription had been developed, and the two families had a good plan.

Su Shi looked at the blooming peonies beside the steps, and sighed faintly: "Yes."

Shen Ninghua raised the corners of her lips faintly, her beautiful face was slightly transparent under the sun: "It's okay to be greedy, but don't hold on to this big cake. Don't worry too much, auntie, just watch it.
