Chapter 309 Injury
Chapter 309 Injury
Seeing Shen Shuyi coming forward, Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Shuyi and said in a deep voice: "Sister Yi, what is going on? Was it really this young master who saved you that day?"
Shen Shuyi could tell that Shen Jingchuan's question was deliberately leaving her room to refuse.
"Shu Yi doesn't know. But when Shu Yi fell into the forest that day, several maids followed her all the time, and no one rescued her. Now is the first time she has seen this young master."
Shen Shuyi's words were clear, which made Shen Jingchuan's expression much more relaxed.
He raised his eyes to look at the young master in front of him, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes: "Sir, can you hear what we are saying?"
The man was silent for a moment, then continued, "I am not seeking repayment for a favor, but I came here for the sake of your reputation. I want to marry you because I don't want to ruin your reputation. After all, I saved you that day, and many people have seen it..."
Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Then may I ask, when did you save me, and where? Who saw you at that time?"
The man sighed lightly and did not answer Shen Shuyi's question. He just said, "If I knew that Miss Shen didn't mind her reputation, I would not have come to bother her. It would have been a waste of trouble for her."
When he said this, there was a hint of disappointment and annoyance in his voice, so much so that the people around him who were watching the excitement couldn't help but whisper about it.
"How could this Shangshu Mansion's daughter be so ungrateful? She even refused to acknowledge the favor of saving her life for the sake of her own reputation."
"Hey, you don't know this. The daughters of the Shangshu Mansion are always causing trouble. Wasn't the third young lady the same before?"
"Yes, I heard that she not only didn't appreciate the other person's life-saving grace, but even turned the tables on him. Her personal morality is corrupt."
"I didn't expect that the Second Miss Shen would do the same. It seems that the Shen family is not upright. Both daughters actually act like this..."
"But I think it's inappropriate for this young man to ask for marriage rashly. He really has the intention of asking for repayment for a favor."
"That's not right. I heard that this is the youngest son of Mr. Lin in the capital. His family is not low. If he wasn't considering the girl's reputation, why would he ask to marry a woman he didn't know at all..."
"..."
For a time, there were different opinions.
Shen Shuyi sneered when he heard this. Lin family? There are many Lin families in Beijing, but this Lin family is the lineage of the eighth prince.
The Lin family is a prominent family with several generations of nobles. If this person had a better reputation, others would indeed believe what he said more.
In addition, the incident involving Shen Jingzhen had caused a lot of uproar in Beijing. Now that it was mentioned, if the same thing happened, she didn't have to say anything, and others would naturally think that she was the same as Shen Jingzhen.
Qin Xuerong watched from the side, with a bright and resentful light flashing in her eyes.
Yu Jieer said that Shen Shuyi always said to give people a taste of their own medicine, and now let her have a taste of the same.
Moreover, even if Sister Zhen is implicated in this matter, the master will not suspect them.
In addition, she had complained to Old Madam Shen about her grievances before. If all went well, she could get the master to agree and marry this bastard into the Lin family.
Once we get to the Lin family, there are plenty of ways to make her die quietly.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuerong couldn't help but look forward to it. She had suffered too much at the hands of Shen Shuyi, and her children hadn't gained any benefit at all. She just hoped that this plan would work...
After all, there is nothing to fault with the young master of the Lin family, and he can be said to be a good match.
Yu Jieer said that every time they tried to kill Shen Shuyi before, they always ended in failure, so this time they would give her a "smooth road".
Shen Shuyi looked directly at the man and said in a loud voice, "Sir, why are you talking about other things? Where did I meet you, how did you save me, which doctor did I ask, and who were the witnesses? Please tell me clearly in front of everyone."
Lin Xuan did not avoid the question this time and said bluntly, "Five days ago, the young lady fell into the mountains and got separated from a few maids. She walked out of the forest from a corner of the hunting ground and happened to walk near the manor under my name."
"That day, I was riding and shooting with my servants nearby, and I happened to see the young lady asking for help. After some consideration, I took her back to my farm. The nearby farmers and servants in the farm can all testify to this."
Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips, his eyes revealing sarcasm. These people who abuse their power are best at confusing right and wrong and making things up. They often change other people's lives with just a thought or an order.
"Everyone praises the Lin family for their integrity. So I would like to ask you, sir, there were women inside and outside the manor that day, why didn't you leave me to the care of the women?"
"If you leave me to someone else to take care of, and someone testifies, why should you worry about rumors destroying my reputation?"
Lin Xuan explained: "It was an emergency at the time. The young lady later fell into a coma and was seriously injured..."
"Then may I ask, sir, where am I injured?" Shen Shuyi pressed on step by step, obviously not intending to give him any room to maneuver.
Lin Xuan's throat tightened, and he could no longer withstand Shen Shuyi's relentless questioning.
"Miss Shen is injured on her forehead..." Lin Xuan spoke again.
Shen Shuyi said again: "I rolled down in the carriage and not only hit my forehead, but also hurt my waist. May I ask, sir, is the wound on my waist on the left or right?"
A thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of Lin Xuan's forehead. Obviously, he had no idea where Shen Shuyi was injured.
At this time, Shen Jingyu, supported by two maids, came slowly from a distance and walked behind the crowd.
Meeting Lin Xuan's gaze, she shook her head gently. Lin Xuan was certain in his heart and said, "Miss Shen is not injured except for her forehead."
Qin Xuerong's worried mood gradually eased with the arrival of Shen Jingyu.
After all, the trap they set up couldn't fill in all the loopholes, and it was difficult for them to know where Shen Shuyi was injured. Jingyu had sent people to investigate, but Shen Shuyi had not consulted a doctor since she returned to the Jade Buddha Temple, so they had no idea where she was injured.
But Shen Jingyu guessed that since Shen Shuyi had not consulted a doctor, it meant that she did not have any serious injuries, and she had been moving normally in the past few days. Therefore, it could be inferred that she was not injured elsewhere.
Shen Jingyu had a deep look in her eyes and stood coldly behind the crowd. Ever since she came back from the Third Prince's place, she looked a bit cold and wooden.
She looked straight at Shen Shuyi, betting that her waist was not injured and it was just her usual trick to deceive Lin Xuan.
After all, she is a cunning person, so it's not surprising that she came up with such a method.
She didn't care whether today's incident could gain the trust of Shen Jingchuan or everyone else, but she wanted to use the power of Old Madam Shen to get Shen Shuyi to the Lin family first.
Meeting Shen Jingyu's gaze, Shen Shuyi curled his lips and said slowly, "It seems that the doctor hired by Master Lin is not very skilled. Shuyi fell from the car that day and hit the area one inch below the left side of the lower back. Blood stasis has gathered here. If it is not dispersed and treated in time, it will be difficult to walk for a long time. So if Master asks the doctor to take the pulse, the doctor will definitely think that the injury here is more serious than the forehead."
