Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 254 He is crazy

Shen Mengwu deliberately lowered her voice and was about to ask Meng Yuan if he had seen Mrs. Shen when a familiar voice came from far away.

"A Ning and A Wu, I was delayed by something and just came here. Here's the food I've prepared. You should study hard on your exams and don't be nervous. I'll be waiting outside and make sure you see me as soon as you come out."

Mrs. Shen's soft voice was choked with sobs, her eyes were red, and her beautiful eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, which eventually turned into repeated instructions.

There has been no news during the time when the Shen sisters disappeared. Mrs. Shen has nightmares every night, and all kinds of speculations emerge in her mind. Mrs. Shen cannot sleep, and all she sees are the miserable appearance of the Shen sisters.

Mrs. Shen's heart didn't settle until the Shen sisters were standing safely in the middle of the road.

After saying a few words to the Shen sisters, Mrs. Shen's eyes fell on Shen Fuyu. Without saying anything, she just grabbed Shen Fuyu's hands, her eyes filled with gratitude and a hint of worry.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Fuyu, as if she wanted to see if Shen Fuyu felt any discomfort. However, due to the large number of people around, it was inconvenient for her to ask, so she could only sigh in the end.

"Fuyu, take good care of yourself."

It has nothing to do with gratitude, but genuine concern for Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu is just a teenage girl who has never experienced any great storms, but she is willing to go in and out of various dangerous places for the Shen sisters without any complaints. How can Mrs. Shen doubt Shen Fuyu as before?
I just feel sorry for Shen Fuyu and think that Shen Fuyu is being dragged down by the Shen family.

Sensing Madam Shen's complex emotions, Shen Fuyu showed her small white teeth and said, "Madam, don't worry."

"I will take good care of the two young ladies, ma'am. It's getting late, so let's go to the examination room first. We can discuss anything after the exam is over."

"Ah."

Mrs. Shen nodded and watched Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters leave.

This time, Shen Fuyu and the other two entered the examination room smoothly.

Mrs. Shen felt relieved at this moment. She was so grateful that God was on their side.

Mrs. Shen couldn't even imagine how serious the consequences would be if the Shen sisters failed to arrive at the examination hall on time. After experiencing the backstabbing of the previous emperor, the Shen family's power in the court was very weak. Now only the second master of the Shen family served as a fourth-rank official in the court.

If it weren't for the strong family background, the Shen family would have fallen in and out of the four major families long ago.

Shen Mengning's rise gave the Shen family hope.

As long as Shen Mengning and Shen Mengwu are motivated enough, after the imperial examination, they will be able to get official positions in the court thanks to the favor of His Majesty. At that time, they can send people to help them accumulate more political achievements, and the Shen sisters' path to promotion will be very smooth.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen slowly let out a breath. Now it was time to deal with the person she had originally had no intention of dealing with.

……

Shen House.

dungeon.

Shen Yingfeng's thin body curled up into a ball. The dark and narrow room was filled with a bad smell. Mrs. Shen frowned and unconsciously covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Shen Yingfeng's mental state was unstable due to not seeing the sun for a long time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Yingfeng seemed to be stimulated by something and tried to curl up his body, as if doing so could avoid harm.

A ray of light appeared in the small room. Instead of feeling happy about the light, Shen Yingfeng started howling.

A sound like that of a trapped animal reached my ears.

Madam Shen looked at the guard beside her with puzzlement, as if she didn't understand why Shen Yingfeng had become like this. You know, Madam Shen didn't torture Shen Yingfeng privately, she just locked Shen Yingfeng up and cut off the chance of Shen Yingfeng contacting the outside world.

After all, Shen Yingfeng using the Shen sisters to threaten Mrs. Shen was like touching the tiger's tail. Mrs. Shen would definitely teach Shen Yingfeng a lesson and let him know the seriousness of the matter.

Shen Yang had a frank expression. He noticed Mrs. Shen's confusion and gave her a considerate answer.

"Young Master Yingfeng has been mentally unstable since he was locked up in the small dark room. We don't know what's going on. Three meals a day are delivered on time, but as soon as the door is opened, Young Master Yingfeng starts screaming, as if possessed by a demon, and keeps shouting, 'Don't kill him, don't kill him!'"

Obviously Shen Yang also didn't understand why Shen Yingfeng became like this.

She must have done too many bad things and was now afraid of the retribution. Mrs. Shen nodded and signaled Shen Yang to guard the door.

Mrs. Shen acted decisively and kicked Shen Yingfeng on the butt.

"Don't pretend."

Mrs. Shen's voice was cold and she looked at Shen Yingfeng with extreme disgust.

She doesn't believe it!

It was obvious that during this period, Mrs. Shen only sent people to detain Shen Yingfeng, and no one had used lynching against Shen Yingfeng. That's why Mrs. Shen didn't believe that Shen Yingfeng would become a madman for no reason.

"It's not me, it's not me..."

Shen Yingfeng seemed unaware of Mrs. Shen's violent behavior. He just squatted in the corner, muttering to himself.

Mrs. Shen frowned, half-knelt down, and carefully checked Shen Yingfeng's mental state.

The man's cheeks were sunken and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

Is it possible that he has really gone crazy?

A trace of doubt emerged in Mrs. Shen's mind, and she began to feel uncertain about her original judgment.

"Shenyang, ask Dougao to find a doctor and tell him to shut up."

Dougao is Madam Shen's personal maid.

"it is good."

Shenyang responded and passed the message to Dougao.

"Shen Yingfeng, who wants to kill you? What did you do to deserve such hatred?"

Mrs. Shen tried to communicate with Shen Yingfeng to find out the reason, but unfortunately, Shen Yingfeng's spirit had already collapsed. He could not understand what others were saying at all and was just immersed in his own emotions.

At this time, Shen Yingfeng had become a madman who could not communicate.

The wrist that had been deliberately hidden before was exposed in front of Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen lowered her eyes. Her wrist was chopped off fiercely with a kitchen knife. It looked very scary.

Could it be because of gambling debts?

This shouldn't be the case. Shen Yingfeng has always been thick-skinned, even going so far as to ask his friends for money. How could he become like this because of gambling debts? There must be other reasons.

Soon, Dougao brought the doctor over. The old doctor placed his aged fingers on Shen Yingfeng's pulse and felt the chaotic pulse.

The old doctor's expression gradually became serious, and he looked at Mrs. Shen with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Master Yingfeng was poisoned."

"Poisoned?!"

Mrs. Shen sounded surprised. She didn't expect this result.

Why did Shen Yingfeng get poisoned out of nowhere?

However, Shen Yingfeng finally got his retribution. Mrs. Shen didn't say much and signaled Dougao to take the silver and take the old doctor away.

He had no intention of treating Shen Yingfeng at all. Having seen so many private practices in the inner courtyard of the mansion, the old doctor was used to taking the money and leaving, and had no intention of getting involved.

If you want to make a lot of money, you have to be prepared to be deaf and blind.
