He had anticipated many Shen Tianshu's possible explanations, but this reason was something he never dared to think about and would never have thought of.
"Your Majesty, now..." Shen Zhonglei was so nervous that he almost knocked over the tea cup on the table. He didn't even think about why Li Zian was injured and didn't go to him as the prefect, but to Shen Tianshu.
"I have settled down for the time being, and the wounds have been treated. Now I only need to change the dressing every day, and I am resting." Shen Tianshu sighed, "The prince's injury is very serious, but he doesn't even know who his opponent is. , even the secret guard beside him was injured.
"Originally, the prince did not allow his daughter to tell the story, but the daughter thought that if something happened to the prince in Yongzhou Mansion, even if the father did not know about it, he would be implicated.
"It would be better to tell you secretly. Even if we can't meet the prince in person, we can at least make more preparations, such as strengthening inspections in the city. At least we must ensure the prince's safety and allow him to recover safely. .”
"Yes, yes." Shen Zhonglei came back to his senses and asked, "Where is the Crown Prince now?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Tianshu's answer, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Since the prince won't let me tell you, don't tell me. Just give me the approximate location so I can send more manpower."
"Chengdong."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
"Dad." Shen Tianshu stopped the hurried Shen Zhonglei and said hesitantly, "Mom's side..."
"Don't worry, just go back to your room and I'll go talk to her."
At this moment, Shen Zhonglei was only thinking about how Li Zian could be injured and what excuse he should find to arrange manpower. How could he care about such trivial things as the back house?
Shen Tianshu returned to Shuangtangyuan. The yard was empty. The four people had been beaten up and were all lying in their rooms unable to move.
"Mammy." Shen Tianshu went to see Mammy Yang first, "It's all my fault that I have caused you trouble..."
"You can't blame me for this. Madam has been wanting to find fault with us for a long time. Today she is just taking advantage of the girl's words. Even if everything goes well today, she will always be able to avoid it in the future."
Nanny Yang lay on the bed, turned her head hard to look at Shen Tianshu, hesitated for a long time and finally said: "The girl has grown up now and has her own thoughts and secrets. But the old slave is the girl's wet nurse. In this family, the old slave only has girls, and only for the girls. No matter what the girl wants to do, the old slave will wholeheartedly support the girl."
Mother Yang's words directly brought tears to Shen Tianshu's eyes.
She could feel Nanny Yang's care and protection for her, but she was burdened with too many secrets and they were too heavy for her to dare to expose them to Nanny Yang rashly.
Shen Tianshu held Nanny Yang's hand and said, "After my mother is gone, Nanny is the closest person to me in the house. I know that Nanny treats me wholeheartedly.
"I do have some secrets that are inconvenient for outsiders to tell, but don't worry, mama, I am definitely not doing anything bad, I just want to earn a good future for myself. When the time comes, mama will naturally know about it. "
Shen Tianshu came out of Nanny Yang's room and went to see Mingxiu and the two little girls.
After returning to the room, he spread out his pen and paper, wrote a prescription and gave it to Minghui, asking her to go out and get the medicine.
As soon as Minghui left with her front legs, Hanqiao came with her back legs.
"The eldest lady is finally back. Madam, please come over."
"I understand. Sister Hanqiao, please go back first. After I change my clothes, I can tidy up and go."
After Hanqiao returned, she waited and saw no sign of Shen Tianshu.
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she threw the tea bowl and said, "What does she mean? Is she trying to get angry with me?"
Shen Tianshu was not in a hurry in the room. After Minghui came back from buying the medicine and taught her how to make the ointment, Shi Shiran changed his clothes and took Mingyu to the main room.
Mrs. Xu waited for half an hour, her expression ugly.
"You still know how to come!"
"The nuns and maids in my daughter's room are all bedridden now. There is really no one available. Mingyu has to do all the dressing and grooming alone, which has wasted a lot of time. I hope mother will forgive me."
Mrs. Xu choked and asked, "What do you mean by this? Are you complaining that I punished the people in your room?"
"Mother is the mistress of the family. No matter who you punish, it is your right. Naturally, your daughter will not dare to complain."
Shen Tianshu said he didn't dare to complain, but his expression and tone were completely different.
"Well, since I don't dare to complain, let me tell you that I will not only punish them, but I will also punish you today, and I will also punish the two maids Mingyu and Minghui.
"Shen Tianshu, as the eldest daughter in the family, not only did you go out without obeying the rules, but you also had a bad attitude and rude words when you came back, without even the slightest sign of knowing you were wrong.
"Mingyu and Minghui, as the girl's personal maids, when the girl misbehaved, not only did they not speak out to dissuade her, but they also ignored the rules together. Misbehavior should be punished.
"So from now on, I will punish the eldest girl to stay in her room and think about her mistakes. She cannot go out without my permission.
"Girls Mingyu and Minghui, each of them will write ten strokes on their memory, so that they can remember if they encounter this kind of thing in the future, will they dare to let the girl do whatever they want!"
"During the period of confinement, Yunyao ran away from home several times, but her mother did not punish the servants in her room.
Now let's not mention that I was not grounded at home, but I just encountered an emergency. It was too early, so I rushed out without reporting to my mother. Should the servants in my room be slapped?
"If the mother insists on doing this, it will be difficult for the daughter to accept it. It is better to invite the father to comment."
"You..." Mrs. Xu was so angry that the veins on her neck bulged out, "Are you relying on your father's love for you to not take me seriously?"
"I can't tell my mother directly why I went out today, but my father knows it.
"I can only say that I am not doing it for my own fun, but for the Shen family. If my mother doesn't believe it, I can ask my father to find out.
"As for the servants in my room, mother has already punished me this morning, don't you think it's not enough?"
"Shen Tianshu!" Mrs. Xu stood up angrily, pointed at Shen Tianshu and said, "What is your attitude? Do you still have the order of elders and younger ones, and the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority in your eyes?"
"My daughter used to respect her elders too much, so she almost suffered a big loss, but now she naturally doesn't dare to."
Shen Tianshu also stood up and stared into Mrs. Xu's eyes, with a tough attitude and no concessions.
"Okay, you can do it, relying on your uncle to gain power, now you are so crazy that you don't know your last name!"
"It's a pity that distant water can't save the near fire. Instead of thinking about what's far away in Hangzhou, it's better to focus on what's in front of you first!"
Mrs. Xu said, taking out the feather duster from the duster bottle on the side, raising her hand to greet Shen Tianshu.
