Chapter 177 What are you worried about?
The next moment, Agate unceremoniously poured a bowl of black medicine directly into Mrs. Chen's mouth.
The medicine was bitter, astringent, and extremely hot to the mouth. For a moment, Mrs. Chen choked and cried out in pain.
"Murder! Ahem... Second Miss... Ahem..."
Mrs. Chen struggled desperately, but she was pinned down so tightly that she couldn't move at all.
Even though he choked and vomited, Agate managed to swallow most of the bowl of medicine.
The people watching the scene were so nervous that their postures became stiff and restrained, without any of their previous casualness.
Fugui's throat tightened, and he hurriedly moved a chair over and said politely, "Second Miss, please sit down. It's tiring to stand."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi glanced at him with a smile, her calm eyes carrying an indescribable coldness.
Fugui nodded and bowed, smiling apologetically, and immediately rubbed the Eight Immortals Chair vigorously with his sleeve: "It's clean, I wiped it!"
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze, but he was not polite. He sat steadily on the chair with a cold expression: "The medicinal materials are expensive, and Mrs. Chen is seriously ill, so we naturally cannot waste them. Feicui, bring the remaining medicine over."
"Yes." Feicui was kind-hearted and quickly brought over a large pot of black medicine.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Chen’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
Shen Shuyi curled his lips and said calmly, "Continue."
"Second Miss! I know I was wrong! Second Miss...I am really ill...Second Miss, please understand!"
Mrs. Chen spoke in a hurry because the medicine was too hot and her throat was sore and hoarse. Even the area on her chin where the medicine was spilled was red and swollen.
Shen Shuyi looked at her coldly, and Manju did not hesitate. He took the bowl and scooped a bowl of wine directly from the pot, pinched Chen Pozi's mouth and poured it down again.
"Um..."
Mrs. Chen shook her head frantically and struggled desperately.
When the people around saw this scene, they felt their throats tighten and they swallowed subconsciously.
Of course, for Mrs. Chen, the unknown of this medicine frightened her more than the pain brought by the bitterness and heat.
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and looked at Chef Zhang beside him. He said in a gentle voice, "I heard that Chef Zhang has unbearable abdominal pain?"
The man who had looked contemptuous before was now in a state of panic: "No...no...no, not really! It was true before, but...but..."
Shen Shuyi curled her lips, looked at him with her almond eyes, and said with a smile: "My medicine can cure all diseases, how about it?"
Before Shen Shuyi finished speaking, Chef Zhang waved his hands again and again: "No! No need! Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss. I... I feel much better now!"
Shen Shuyi curled his lips, smiled but didn't smile, and said calmly: "I heard that you went to the toilet countless times this morning. It must be hard work."
The man's face was stiff and he trembled: "Yes... yes..."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Get him a toilet. Chef Zhang, you can use the toilet here today."
As soon as these words were spoken, a maid from Yunshuyuan turned around, found a toilet and threw it heavily in front of Chef Zhang.
Shen Shuyi looked directly at the man, put away the smile on his face, and said in a cold voice: "Since you have eaten something bad and have unbearable stomach pain, you will be here to relieve yourself today. When you are relieved, this matter will be resolved!"
The man froze and looked at Shen Shuyi in disbelief.
"Second Miss! This... This won't do..."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "No? Fine, if it's not possible, you are deceiving your superiors and fooling your subordinates. If so, you will be beaten to death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man immediately knelt on the ground: "Second Miss, you are going too far! You don't have the power to do that. I want to go find Madam! I want Madam to make the decision!"
The man's words seemed to bring the shocked people back to their senses. Mrs. Chen was speechless, while the other two maids followed suit.
"Yes! We want to see the madam!"
"Second Miss, you don't know how to run a household, and you don't even treat us as human beings. We need Madam to make the decision!"
"That's right. What rights do you have to beat someone to death? What right do you have to do that?" Chef Zhang sounded a little harder, as if he had been supported by someone.
Except for these few people, the others wanted to agree, but no one dared to speak.
After all, these are the only ones who usually get the most benefits. Although Qin Xuerong has absolute right to speak, she cannot make everyone work for her regardless of everything in the face of such intimidation.
Seeing Shen Shuyi's thundering actions, everyone in the group, including Fugui, dared not say a word.
Shen Shuyi said gently, "Looking for mother? Sure, but you are all busy and sick right now. You have to get well first before you have this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Second Miss! You are trying to force me to death. I have been in the Shen Mansion for many years, and the old lady likes the dishes I cook very much! You just took charge, and you want to beat and kill us old people. What did we do wrong? I don't accept your way of doing things!"
Chef Zhang was still insisting on his stubborn attitude.
The other two maids also echoed: "Yes, Second Miss has no idea how complicated things are in the kitchen. We were just delayed for a while, but you wanted to beat us up. What on earth are you thinking?"
As they were talking, Agate had finished taking the medicine.
Mrs. Chen was lying on the ground in a miserable state. She was coughing violently and trying hard to pick her throat to get the medicine out.
Because the medicine was too hot, a string of red blisters appeared on Mrs. Chen's chin and corners of her mouth. Her mouth and throat must not be feeling any better.
"What's going on?" Shen Jingchuan walked in with a frown, looking at the maids and old women in the yard with an unhappy expression.
When several people saw him, they immediately acted as if they had seen a savior, especially the disheveled Mrs. Chen, who immediately rushed over to him.
"Master! Master, please make the decision for me! I know my fate is worthless, but I have never been tortured by my master for no reason!"
Mrs. Chen's voice was like a broken gong. She looked disheveled and her hair was messy. When she opened her mouth, tears flowed.
She really didn't expect that Shen Shuyi, a girl who had just returned to the mansion, would be so cruel. It was obvious that she knew she was the lady's person, but she targeted her!
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said coldly: "Speak slowly."
Mrs. Chen said immediately, "I have been ill for a few days and couldn't get out of bed, so I didn't go when the Second Miss summoned me. I didn't expect that the Second Miss had someone drag me out of bed and force me to drink several bowls of soup of unknown substance!"
As she finished speaking, the cook beside her also said: "It's the same for me. I had a stomachache and kept running to the toilet. Who knew that the second lady would let me relieve myself in public!"
Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Shuyi who was calm beside him, and said in a softer tone: "Sister Yi, you speak."
Just at this moment, the doctor that Yuping had found arrived. Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice, "Father, since the doctor is here, why not let him talk."
