Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 626 Shen Guannian Falls Ill

Wei Dazhang had no intention of listening to her chatter at the moment. The woman's hands were entwined on his chest, and the scent of her cosmetics was drilling into his nose. He could not bear it at all, so he just said a few perfunctory words and pushed Qi under him.

Nanny Yin immediately jumped off the carriage, blew out the lantern, and walked away.

The coachman was not surprised and went to the corner of the alley to smoke.

After a long time, the movement in the carriage stopped.

Nanny Yin then stepped forward and said, "Madam, we have been out for some time. It is time to go back."

If I stay out for too long, it would be terrible if Shen Guannian found out that the Qi family members are not at home!

Qi hummed, and reminded Wei Dazhang: "Go back and take a good look at the portrait. Don't make the wrong person."

"understood."

Wei Dazhang responded casually and got off the carriage in a disheveled state.

A quarter of an hour later, Qi returned to the Shen Mansion.

She changed her clothes and took Nanny Yin to Shen Guannian's yard.

When she first got married, she lived in the same courtyard with Shen Guannian, but as Shen Guannian took concubines one after another, she had no choice but to compromise and move to another courtyard.

She pushed open the courtyard door and entered the house. Seeing Shen Guannian still asleep, she whispered to Nanny Yin, "Light the incense for him."

Nanny Yin hesitated: "Madam, we already ordered before we left. If we order more, wouldn't it be too much?"

Qi was displeased: "Just order what I told you to order. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Nanny Yin didn't dare to say anything else and immediately lit another incense stick.

Qi looked at the smoke curling up, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to leave.

The next day, Shen Guannian fell ill.

As soon as he woke up in the morning, he felt a severe headache, vomiting and diarrhea, so he quickly called a doctor to see him.

The doctor took Shen Guannian's pulse and prescribed a prescription. Sanshui went to get the medicine, boiled it and fed it to Shen Guannian.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. Shen Guannian still had a headache and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. In fact, his condition was even worse than before he took the medicine. He had a high fever.

Qi was frantically spinning around, wiping her tears as she said, "Master, what's wrong with you? He was fine before, how could he suddenly become ill? Did he eat something he shouldn't have eaten yesterday? Or is he being haunted by some evil spirit? Master, please don't scare me!"

Shen Guannian felt that his headache was about to split, and Qi was still crying and nagging beside him.

He was extremely annoyed and said, trying to suppress his headache, "Get out! I'm so annoyed!"

Qi refused to leave: "Master, you are so sick, how can I leave you alone? I will definitely stay with you until you get better! Oh, right, this doctor is not good enough, how about we find another one?"

"Shut up and get out!"

"Master, you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. Why don't you get up and drink another bowl of medicine? Maybe you vomited what you just drank, so it's useless."

As Qi said this, she was about to help Shen Guannian up and take the medicine.

Shen Guannian was already feeling extremely nauseous, and as soon as Qi touched him, he immediately started vomiting.

The black medicinal juice sprayed all over Qi.

Qi froze for a moment, her expression looking as ugly as it could be.

Nanny Yin exclaimed, "Madam, your clothes! This, this, this...madam, why don't you go back and change into clean clothes first!"

Qi stood up and walked out with a stiff face.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shen Wantang and Shen Mingxuan standing outside.

Shen Mingxuan's face was filled with anxiety and worry. "Mom, I heard that Dad was sick, so I came to visit him. How is he now? Is he feeling better?"

Shen Wantang took a deep look at Qi, who was covered in medicine, and said calmly, "I also heard that my father was ill, so I came here specifically to treat him."

Qi sneered and said sarcastically, "Oh, Tang'er is so filial! He dared to practice medicine after reading a few medical books. Those who know him would say you are filial, but those who don't would think you are taking the opportunity to murder your own father! Our Xuan'er is honest and decent, and she doesn't know these high-sounding tricks of yours."

Shen Mingxuan was furious with Shen Wantang for selling Huayi, and immediately said sarcastically, "Sister, it's already this time, don't make things more complicated. Father's illness is no small matter, so stop pretending!"

"With your limited skills, you can fool outsiders, but fooling my father, do you still have humanity? Do you still have a conscience? After all, my father is the closest person to us. You can't prescribe medicine for him carelessly. Otherwise, if something happens to my father, can you afford it?"

"Go back to your yard quickly and stop making trouble here. It's really annoying!"

"Oh, by the way, I heard you sold Hua Yi for a full 1,000 taels of silver. You're so shameless! She's my maid, and you actually had the nerve to sell her for money! I've never seen anyone as greedy as you!"

Shen Wantang looked at her indifferently: "Father is so sick that he can't get out of bed, but you're here thinking about a maid and how much silver I sold. Now you're blocking the way and won't let me in to see father. I knew you were unfilial, but I didn't expect you to be this unfilial! I'm really heartbroken for father. Is your sister really your biological daughter? Could she have been adopted? You might not be surnamed Shen, right?"

Shen Wantang's words were much more aggressive than Shen Mingxuan's, and Shen Mingxuan couldn't stand the accusations of being unfilial and not having the surname Shen.

She nearly jumped up, screaming and cursing, "Shen Wantang, you are the most despicable person I have ever met! Your last name is not Shen, you are not my biological child, I look much more like my father than you do!! You look exactly like your vixen aunt, you are also a vixen!"

Shen Mingxuan was so angry that she was almost incoherent, cursing whatever came to her mind.

She scolded for a long time, and Shen Guannian in the room finally couldn't bear it anymore. He covered his head which was in great pain, endured the nausea, and was helped out by the servant.

"What are you arguing about?!"

Shen Guannian scolded Shen Mingxuan harshly: "Are you dissatisfied with my slow death? You are cursing me here so early in the morning!"

Shen Mingxuan's face froze. "Father, I didn't! She's just my sister. She doesn't want you to be well. I'm just teaching her a lesson on your behalf."

Shen Guannian was about to speak when he felt nauseous and started vomiting again.

He hadn't eaten anything in the morning and only drank a bowl of medicine. Now there was nothing to vomit, just sour water with a bitter medicinal taste.

He was in so much pain that he could not support his body at all. Even with the help of a servant, he still fell to the ground.

Qi exclaimed in surprise and immediately rushed forward: "Master!"

Shen Mingxuan also rushed over: "Father!"

Shen Wantang stood behind them, watching them pretending to act, and then he pushed them both down with a sudden force.

Then she stood in front of Shen Guannian, lifted his wrist and took his pulse.
