The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 146 Don’t Blame My Husband

Pan'er covered her head and ran towards the courtyard gate like a fly. She ran into three people. The little maid Shiqin who was hit cried out in pain, "Ouch!" She cursed: "Who is so blind that he dared to bump into my wife? Fortunately, I stood in front of them, otherwise, with such a noble body, my wife would have been knocked down."

Pan'er had already seen who was coming. She immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Ninth Madam, please spare me! I didn't mean to do that, please spare me..." She kowtowed like crazy.

The visitors were the Ninth Young Master Shen Maofeng's wife Huang Yulian, and her two personal maids, Shiqin and Shihua.

The one who got hurt was Shi Hua. She kicked Pan Er and said with her hands on her hips, "What a blind servant you are. Like master, like servant. I don't think your Seventeenth Young Master is a good person either."

Seeing Pan'er looking up at her in confusion, Shihua scolded again, "What are you looking at? I'm talking about you. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go in and tell them that my Ninth Grandmother is here, and ask your Seventeenth Young Master to come out and greet her!"

Pan Er touched her arm that was hurt by the kick and whispered, "To answer the young lady, I am not a maid in the Seventeenth Young Master's courtyard. I am in the Fifth Young Master's courtyard."

After hearing this, Shi Hua became even angrier, and she kicked her over and said angrily, "You are not from this courtyard, so why are you blocking the way? Really! It's really bad luck to be bumped into by a jinx like you! Get out of the way!"

Pan'er didn't have a bad temper and immediately crawled away obediently.

At this time, Amber, who was standing at the door of the house, saw the whole process, and she came over to talk to Huang Yulian and her servant.

Besides, Gao'er in the room had sharp ears. She guessed who it was when she heard the noise outside. Her face immediately became nervous. It was not until Hubo came in and confirmed that her guess was correct, that it was really Ninth Grandma Huang Yulian, that her face flushed and she smiled awkwardly at Shen Wen, "Well... Young Master, Ninth Grandma is a clean person. She doesn't like us being here. What do you think?... I'd better find a place to hide. I'll come out after she finishes talking to you."

Seeing her like that, Shen Wen didn't say much and asked Zhinuan to take her to the small room for making tea.

Amber then went out and invited Grandma Jiu and her servants into the house.

Grandma Jiu was a delicate and graceful woman. She wore a moon-white satin dress embroidered with purple flowers. She also had a simple hairpin with red and emerald stars, a magnolia hairpin full of diamonds, and a gorgeous purple butterfly flower in her hair.

Her two maids were completely different from her. Although they were not big and strong, they were strong and sturdy, and there was an unconcealable heroic spirit between their brows. Shen Wen could guess from their hands that they were martial artists.

Shen Wen was about to ask Zhi Nuan to let Ninth Madam sit down, but the maid Shi Hua spoke first, "My Ninth Madam is here, and why didn't the Seventeenth Master come out to greet her? You are a scholar, but you really don't know etiquette."

The words Shen Wen was about to say were stuck in her throat and she forced herself to hold them back. She no longer had the mood to talk back and glanced at Amber.

Amber smiled and said, "Miss Shihua is wrong. If you are nitpicking about the gift, then my master should send the invitation and ask us to go to Ninth Madam's courtyard to deliver the invitation. After Ninth Madam reads it, she should send someone to reply with the gift and then come to our courtyard. Then my master can burn incense and bathe, and then greet us at the door with great fanfare."

After these words were spoken, Shihua was speechless for a moment.

Zhi Nuan, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

They secretly went to see Shen Wen, who remained calm and only told Zhi Nuan, "Go, pour tea for Grandma Jiu."

Amber gave up her seat to Grandma Huang Yulian.

Huang Yulian straightened her expression and then said in a gentle and graceful manner, "It was wrong of me to come here uninvited, but I heard that the Seventeenth Young Master was bullied by your husband yesterday, and I came here to apologize because I was afraid that the Seventeenth Young Master would hold a grudge against me."

As she spoke, she bowed to Shen Wen and said, "Seventeenth brother, please be generous. Please don't blame my husband. I bow to you, Seventeenth brother."

Such behavior frightened Amber who was standing by and quickly stopped her and said, "Ninth Madam, you can't do that. What is your status? You must not bow to your half-brother here. If this matter gets out, especially to the Huang and Hu families, then our Marquis' Mansion will be in chaos."

Shen Wen held her forehead with her hand, looking annoyed. She just didn't like dealing with such people.

She glanced at the three masters and servants impatiently, not caring about the look Amber gave her.

Until Amber couldn't help but remind him: "Young Master, don't just stand there, come and persuade Grandma Jiu."

Shen Wen then spoke up, "How is Brother Nine's injury? Did he injure his head or is he incapable of being humane? His family wasn't destroyed, and his descendants weren't extinct. Would he push you out to seek justice for him?"

What he said was right. It was Shen Maofeng who whispered in Huang Yulian's ear, asking her to come and intimidate Shen Wen. Moreover, he was crying loudly at that time and kept showing Huang Yulian his knocked-out tooth.

Huang Yulian relied on the prestige of her natal family and her maternal grandfather's family, and was usually superior to others in the Marquis' Mansion. She looked down on Shen Wen, her illegitimate brother-in-law who came along halfway, which led to her ridiculous behavior at this time.

Huang Yulian hated it most when people mentioned the word "descendants" because she had been married to the Shen family for almost four years but still had no children. If she didn't have an adopted son to show off, the rumors behind her would have kept her up all night.

Huang Yulian straightened her expression again before saying, "Seventeenth brother is wrong. I really came here to apologize to you for my husband's matter. It's all my husband's fault for not being considerate of my half brother. He made my half brother unable to walk, so I personally carried him home."

Shen Wen took a deep breath and cursed Shen Maofeng in his heart, calling him a cheap scumbag who was stingy and had no manners.

Shen Wen changed his sitting posture and said to Huang Yulian with a gentle expression: "Okay, I know I was wrong. We are all brothers and a family. No matter how many misunderstandings there are between brothers, we are still blood relatives. No one can really become a blood feud and fight to the death with each other, don't you think? Moreover, if we brothers want to live in harmony, the behavior of the sisters-in-law is extremely important, don't you think? Sister-in-law Jiu has been standing and talking for so long, she must be tired. I heard that you are not in good health, so don't hold on, just sit down."

Huang Yulian felt relieved a little because of Shen Wen's apology. From the lookdown before entering the house to the verbal confrontation and now, Huang Yulian suddenly felt a little relieved. She only then truly realized that this little bastard was really not simple.

Shiqin felt sorry for Huang Yulian. She was most worried about her health. Huang Yulian was very delicate and had never spoken so many words while standing. She quickly persuaded Huang Yulian to sit down.

After Huang Yulian sat down, Shen Wen said, "Sister-in-law, is this a condition you were born with? I wonder which famous doctors have been consulted to treat it? I have a doctor named Sun by my side. If Sister-in-law doesn't mind, I'll ask him to take a look at you."

The Doctor Sun he was referring to was naturally the Miraculous Doctor Sun. The two maids, who were worried about Huang Yulian's health, immediately showed their delight when they heard it.

Only Huang Yulian shook her head and said, "No need. Even the imperial doctors in the palace have seen my illness. I have also invited many imperial doctors from other countries, but none of them have a good treatment. The doctor next to Seventeenth Brother will not be able to cure it either. Don't worry about it in vain."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Yes, I think that old man is also a swindler, so let it go. But..."

Shen Wen looked at Huang Yulian and said, "Since my sister-in-law's family has such good resources, they can hire the best doctors in the world and find the best medicinal materials in the world, why don't you give me some good things at a low price?"

Huang Yulian didn't expect him to change so quickly. She couldn't keep up with his pace. She asked stupidly, "What good stuff?"

Shen Wen said, "It's the Lengxiang Pill! You gave it to the handyman Shi Pozi, so it shouldn't be a problem for me, right?"

Huang Yulian was even more confused. She asked, "What is Mrs. Shi? Who is Mrs. Shi? Why would I give her that thing for no reason? Seventeenth brother, you must have made a mistake. I would never give Lengxiang Pills to a woman. Seventeenth brother, you said that, but I'm afraid you don't know what a Lengxiang Pill is worth?"

Shen Wen said, "No, that's not right. I heard from my ninth brother that you gave that Mrs. Shi a Lengxiang Pill. I'm afraid you don't remember which Mrs. Shi was, right? It was Mrs. Shi who was poisoned to death yesterday. Although she was involved in lawsuits and her family was imprisoned for heinous crimes, Mrs. Shi died after eating one of your Lengxiang Pills! The half of the Lengxiang Pill that was not digested was taken out of her stomach by the coroner and is still kept in the archives of the government office. Everyone knows that only you, my ninth sister, have this thing. Not even the palace has it."

Huang Yulian's whole body tensed up after hearing these words. She still couldn't believe it and asked, "Are you sure? Are those really Lengxiang Pills?"

Shen Wen nodded seriously and said, "It's Lengxiang Pills, which contain the black lotus that is unique to your maternal grandfather's family. How come Sister-in-law Jiu is so close to Mrs. Shi? Why did Sister-in-law Jiu poison Mrs. Shi? If Sister-in-law Jiu was doing good for our Shen family, it would be counterproductive. Now everyone knows that Mrs. Shi was killed by our family to silence her."

Huang Yulian was shocked and her eyes, which were neither big nor small, kept turning around.

At this time, Shen Wen ordered Zhi Nuan, "Isn't Sister Nine thirsty? Zhi Nuan, why don't you give Sister Nine some tea?"

Zhinuan handed the tea to Huang Yulian's mouth. Huang Yulian slowly took the teacup and took two small sips.

Seeing that her expression had eased a lot, Shen Wen said, "In fact, Sister-in-law's disease is easy to cure. I don't think Sister-in-law is infertile. May I ask if Brother Jiu has any concubines? Don't Brother Jiu's concubines have any children? Having a child is a matter for two people. If the wives and concubines can't have children... then it may be the man's problem. Men can also have this disease."

Shiqin and Shihua looked at each other in surprise because of Shen Wen's words.
