"How dare you?"
The Second Lady slapped the table beside her. The teacups on the table were shaken off and rolled onto the ground.
The sound of the broken teacups startled the maids outside.
They wanted to go in and check but dared not.
After losing her temper, Shen didn't see any trace of fear on Jiang Sihe's face. She guessed that this girl was also a tough one.
She softened her tone and said, "Jiang Sihe, why do you have to meddle in this mess?"
Jiang Sihe replied calmly, "I've made up my mind to meddle in this mess. This time is just a warning for Second Aunt. If Second Aunt uses such a vicious scheme against the First Lady again, don't blame me for being rude..."
Shen was a bit surprised. How could this young girl have such a calm and confident aura? Looking at her demeanor, Shen even had an illusion that this girl had been through many ups and downs in the inner courtyard for years...
She knew that Jiang Sihe was not easy to deal with, so she softened her tone a bit. "What on earth do you want?"
She knew that Jiang Sihe didn't just come to warn her today. She must have some tricks up her sleeve.
"I want to know the details of Eldest Sister's illness!"
"Presumptuous! Who do you think you are? Why should I tell you..."
Jiang Sihe didn't get angry. She just smiled faintly. "Eldest Sister was bitten by a poisonous snake today. The antidote powder I gave her is also another kind of poison. Eldest Sister will feel sleepy starting tonight. If Second Aunt doesn't believe me, you can observe her!"
"You... How can you be so vicious? Ning Wei is innocent!"
"Of course I know that Eldest Sister is innocent. But compared with viciousness, I may not be as good as Second Aunt!"
Shen had seen the girl's power. She had a sweet and bright face, but unexpectedly had such a deep mind!
Wang Mingyi was really lucky. She had a powerful natal family. Now she had adopted a concubine's daughter who was not only capable but also wholeheartedly protected her...
"Second Aunt doesn't have to look at me like this. In this deep mansion, I just use my brain a bit more!"
Shen couldn't help asking her, "Will the poison you gave Ning Wei harm her body?"
Hearing this, Jiang Sihe's heart softened a bit. No matter how bad Shen was, she was still a mother who cared about her children. This made Jiang Sihe change her opinion of her a bit.
"I can give Second Aunt one day to think it over and decide whether you want me to know about Eldest Sister's illness!"
Shen thought for a while. Jiang Sihe wanted Ning Wei's medical record just to see if their Second Branch had done anything bad. How could she harm her own daughter?
She could just let her take it. It clearly showed how Ning Wei had been harmed by Wang Mingyi!
"No need. I'll agree to you now. But you have to detoxify Ning Wei immediately!"
Jiang Sihe just wanted to threaten Shen and scare her. How could she really poison Jiang Ningwei?
But it was true that she would feel sleepy. Although the snake venom had been cured, there was still some residual toxin in her body. Sleepiness was just a self - protection mechanism of the body.
Jiang Sihe had experienced this herself. But a woman like the Second Lady who had been living in the inner courtyard would never know. So it was enough to scare her...
"Ting Yue, go and get the young lady's medical record!"
Shen didn't want to take any risks for a single moment. She wouldn't let Jiang Ningwei be hurt any more!
The maid Ting Yue who was waiting at the door was stunned for a moment when she heard the lady's order, but she still went to get the eldest young lady's medical record.
The Second Lady asked Ting Yue to hand the medical record to Jiang Sihe.
"The medical record is here. Can you detoxify my Ning Wei now?"
Jiang Sihe took out the sugar pills she bought from the night market last night from her waist. "The antidote is here. Ask the maid to give it to her with warm water. But she needs to take it for three consecutive days... For the sake of fairness, I'll come to the Second Branch every day to deliver one pill. After three days, I'll return the medical record!"
The Second Lady agreed and asked Ting Yue to take the pill to Jiang Ningwei.
When Ting Yue was about to leave, Jiang Sihe quickly said, "Wait..."
To make the show more convincing, Yun Zhu had also used her medicine powder. She also had to give her a sugar pill.
She took out another sugar pill and handed it to Ting Yue. "And the maid Yun Zhu beside Eldest Sister. She also used my medicine. Give her a pill too!"
Hearing this, the Second Lady frowned and said coldly, "You are really..."
Jiang Sihe still smiled and asked, "Second Aunt, what am I really?"
Shen waved her sleeve and turned her head, ignoring her!
Jiang Sihe put the medical record into her sleeve, saluted the Second Lady and said, "Then I won't bother Second Aunt anymore. Goodbye!"
Shen quickly waved her hand to let this "plague god" leave. She didn't want her to stay for a moment longer.
When Jiang Sihe came out of the room, Dan Feng greeted her worriedly.
"Miss, did the Second Lady make things difficult for you? I was so scared when I heard the noise inside..."
Jiang Sihe patted Dan Feng reassuringly. "Don't worry. She doesn't dare to make things difficult for me!"
During the confrontation with the Second Lady today, she had already noticed that the Second Lady was not a very vicious person, nor was she very meticulous in mind. So Shen was definitely not the mastermind behind this!
Jiang Sihe brought back Jiang Ningwei's medical record. At night, she compared it with a medical record book but couldn't figure it out. After all, she had never studied medicine and might not be able to see the tricks in it...
She had to find a way to find a highly skilled doctor to help her take a good look.
It would be best if she could find a royal doctor from the palace. She remembered that in her previous life, the Grand Lady of the Marquis Mansion took the prescription made by a royal doctor from the palace and went from being unable to walk to walking nimbly!
But how could she find a royal doctor without the First Lady's knowledge?
She put away the medical record with a slight headache.
After taking a bath and getting into bed, she thought that she would go to the academy tomorrow and also go to Lady Mei's place as promised...
And Pei Yanchao had asked her to draw a bone - looking portrait for him. Tomorrow would really be a busy day!
Wait, Pei Yanchao, who was a grand tutor and a high - ranking official beside the emperor...
He must know the royal doctors in the palace. If he could help her find a royal doctor to take a look at Jiang Ningwei's medical record, it would surely be easy...
Having made up her mind, she got up and put Jiang Ningwei's medical record into the book box, planning to take it to the academy tomorrow.
...
At the entrance of the academy, before Jiang Sihe got off the carriage, Pei Xueji rushed over.
"A He, a day apart seems like three autumns!"
Jiang Sihe stepped off the carriage on the ladder. Hearing Pei Xueji's inappropriate words, she couldn't help laughing.
"What do you mean by 'a day apart seems like three autumns'?"
"I missed you so much since I didn't see you yesterday!"
After saying that, she took out the food box she had hidden behind her.
"Look, I brought you something delicious, red bean cakes!"
Jiang Sihe was very happy to hear this. The one she ate in the Ministry of Justice yesterday was really unpalatable.
"I was just craving it. I ate one yesterday that was so bad. I still can't get rid of the taste..."
Pei Xueji inexplicably thought that her uncle didn't know what had come over him today. He got up early in the morning to make two plates of red bean cakes and specially sent them to her carriage, asking her to take them to the academy.
It was as if he knew that Jiang Sihe wanted to eat them and made them for her on purpose...
Pei Xueji shook her head. She was overthinking. Her uncle and A He had hardly said three words to each other. How could he know that A He wanted to eat them!
She handed the food box to Jiang Sihe and said with a smile, "Then eat one quickly to get rid of the bad taste from yesterday..."
Jiang Sihe nodded, took the food box, picked up a red bean cake and ate it in a few mouthfuls.
After eating, she couldn't help sighing.
"Alas, since I ate the red bean cakes from your mansion, other ones are really hard to please my palate!"
"A He, you really know good food. Do you know who made these red bean cakes?"
