Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 469 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (6)

Shen Feng snapped out of his daze. "It's because Shuyi is too willful. I'll go to the estate tomorrow and have her come back to apologize to you."

"Feng'er, don't go. Let all the servants in the manor disperse. She'll realize her mistake and come back obediently in a few days." Shen Jing snorted, wondering how long a little girl like her could stay.

……

Inside the Falling Flower Pavilion, Shen Qingyi looked at the courtyard, which was much simpler than the Listening Rain Pavilion, and said unwillingly, "Mother! I suspect that Shen Shuyi was behind it all. Cuiqin was also whipped!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin saw a long whip mark on her face, and half of her face was almost ruined!

"Even if she did it, so what? She doesn't have a whip on her body."

At first, she was afraid it was Zhou Hongying's ghost causing trouble, but she had had a smooth life for the past ten years. If Zhou Hongying had become a ghost, why didn't she come looking for revenge before?
"But Mother, Shen Shuyi wasn't like this before. She used to be very stupid, her mind was too sharp, and she never defended herself when I framed her."

"Qingyi!"

"Be careful, the walls have ears."

"What's there to be afraid of? The entire General's Mansion is ours. Besides, Father, are you really going to give all those properties and estates to Shen Shuyi?"

"Impossible." A fierce glint flashed in Madam Lin's eyes. She knew the general best. The general must have called Shen Shuyi back to win over a prince or minister. How could he possibly give Shen Shuyi money to squander outside? He would only force her to return to the general's mansion and obediently wait to be married.

"Don't worry about Qingyi's affairs from now on. She will be attending a banquet at the palace next month. You need to make sure you get along well with the Fourth Prince."

"Mother~" Shen Qingyi said coquettishly when she thought of the Fourth Prince.

……

Shen Shuyi had originally planned to buy a house near Zhao Heng, but now that there was one available, she and Lvwu moved in. As soon as they entered, they found that the servants seemed to have received some kind of order and were packing up and leaving one by one.

Shen Shuyi didn't care. That same day, she went with Lvwu to the official brokerage to hire servants. These servants were all well-trained and could start working as soon as they arrived.

Green Willow, now the steward of Plum Blossom Manor, enthusiastically directed the servants to work. Shen Shuyi sat in front of a recliner in the courtyard, drinking tea and eating snacks. 66, now a little white cat, nestled beside her, enjoying the gentle breeze.

The villa is planted with lotus flowers, which must have been the original owner's favorite flower. She simply named the villa Listening to the Rain Villa.

Shen Shuyi looked at the diligent workers and poked the cat's ears. "66, I think I still need some guards."

“I have a good idea: some reliable, loyal, and capable guards. These are things that money can’t buy.”

[What a good idea?]
"Well, that depends on when Zhao Heng contacts me."

The medicine she gave him last time couldn't cure his old ailment, so Zhao Heng would have to come back to her for help if he wanted to find a doctor.

[Host, how come you predicted even more accurately than 66? Zhao Heng has obtained all your information and has sent his trusted confidant to invite you over.]
Shen Shuyi yawned slightly.

They arrived so quickly?

She stood up and said to Luwu, "Luwu, if any guests come, just tell them I'm taking a break and we can talk about it tomorrow."

Shen Shuyi was indeed tired and went to bed early.

In the study of Prince Su's residence.

Zhao Heng, dressed in an exquisite blue and white brocade robe with floral patterns, sat at his desk, holding a book in his hand and reading. He had a handsome face and deep, bright eyes.

At this moment, the head guard He Ya walked in and said, "Your Highness, Miss Shen has rested after her long journey. Her maid asked me to come again tomorrow morning."

"Should I identify myself and bring the person over?"

Zhao Heng glanced at the sky and said, "No need. You can prepare gifts and go again tomorrow."

"yes." ……

The next day, the people from Prince Su's mansion arrived at Tingyu Villa early in the morning to wait for her. As they were from Prince Su's mansion, their every move represented Prince Su's attitude towards Miss Shen, so they waited respectfully until Shen Shuyi got up, washed, and had breakfast before they went to Prince Su's mansion with her.

The steward of the Prince's mansion personally led her to the elegant hall. As soon as Shen Shuyi stepped in, she saw that handsome and radiant face.

Zhao Heng, with his hair tied up in a jade crown and wearing a moon-white brocade robe, exuded a noble and elegant aura in the Prince's mansion.

"Miss Shen, you've arrived." Zhao Heng's voice was mellow and pleasant.

His gaze fell on the little girl who walked gracefully towards him. She was wearing a long green dress adorned with shimmering leaves, and a light white gauze over it, making her look extremely ethereal and beautiful.

Shen Shuyi met his deep eyes, her eyebrows curving slightly, "I've kept Your Highness waiting."

“We are destined to meet, why don’t we sit down and have a cup of tea and chat?” As she approached, Zhao Heng could faintly smell that special herbal fragrance again.

Shen Shuyi sat down as instructed, "It is my honor to drink with Your Highness."

"May I ask which renowned physician Miss Shen studied under?"

Shen Shuyi said, "His Majesty once issued a proclamation to recruit renowned doctors from all over the country to gather in Chang'an, just to treat you. The fact that my master did not come indicates that he was not confident in his diagnosis of your illness; otherwise, he would have certainly treated you."

"This humble girl is not very talented, but I would like to take Your Highness's pulse."

Zhao Heng waved the others away before extending his hand, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Shen."

Shen Shuyi's slender hand pressed against Zhao Heng's fair wrist.

For some reason, Zhao Heng did not feel any resistance or disgust. In the past, he disliked being too close to women. There were very few maids in the Eastern Palace, and none who served him personally. After moving to the Prince Su's mansion, there was not a single maid in the inner courtyard.

Far from feeling disgusted, he felt a sense of peace and tranquility the moment Shen Shuyi's fingertips touched him.

After taking Zhao Heng's pulse, Shen Shuyi withdrew her hand and then examined Zhao Heng's complexion to inquire about his diagnosis.

"Have you been poisoned? Whenever there is a full moon, rainy days, or when you fight, you feel short of breath and your chest feels like it's being crushed by a millstone, making it difficult to even breathe."

A strange look appeared on Zhao Heng's gentle face. "Indeed, do you have a way to detoxify?" These hidden illnesses were beyond the expertise of even the Imperial Hospital, and they stammered, unable to give a clear explanation.

Shen Shuyi said seriously, "When it doesn't flare up, you look no different from an ordinary person, but this poison is always lurking. The longer it's left, the worse your body will become. When it flares up, it will make you lose your fighting ability. I'm sure you had one flare-up at the post station last time."

She picked up her brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote down a prescription: "In addition, if His Highness cannot be cured, he may be unable to have children in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hidden pain flashed in Zhao Heng's eyes.

He was once a revered crown prince, but this illness led to his dethronement, making him a laughingstock in the court.
If it really can be cured.
He looked up and met Shen Shuyi's clear eyes.

Shen Shuyi handed him the prescription, her tone sincere, "If Your Highness trusts me, I will take this prescription for three days. After three days, I will come to perform acupuncture to remove the poison for Your Highness."

For some reason, Zhao Heng felt an inexplicable sense of trust in the woman before him, perhaps because she had saved his life at the post station.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Shen."

"Don't thank me yet. If I really cure Your Highness, I hope Your Highness can do me a favor."

"Miss Shen, please tell me what you need. Even with my illness, if you mention the medicine you gave me last time, I will do my best to help you."
