After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

Madam Shen said calmly, "Since you're here, go and meet your cousin and uncle."

Shen Ning followed the gaze of Old Madam Shen.

Then, Yu Jingshu and Yu Pingsheng were seen sitting on the chairs to the side.

She showed no expression, only bowing slightly in the direction of Yu Pingsheng along with Shen Wan.

"Shen Ning, greet your uncle and cousin."

Yu Pingsheng said with a smile, "Greetings, Second Miss and Third Miss."

"My daughter and I have come to Yanjing City for medical treatment, and we will inevitably be staying at your residence for some time."

"Since Jing Shu is new here, I hope the Second and Third Misses will forgive her if she does anything improper."

Shen Ning smiled faintly, her gaze falling on Yu Jingshu's face.

Upon seeing this, my heart stirred.

Yu Jingshu looks just like Shen Rou.

Yu Jingshu sat on the chair, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt.

He was also secretly observing Shen Ning.

The girl before him had skin as white as snow.

Although her clothes were not luxurious, she was clearly well-bred and had a stunning appearance.

She was completely different from the girl from Yongzhou.

Yu Jingshu's gaze swept gently over Shen Rou beside her, her heart feeling as if it were filled with a warm ray of sunshine.

It evokes an indescribable sense of closeness.

"Now that my cousin has come to the Shen family, she will be staying at my elder sister's waterside residence from now on."

"Your second uncle should say this to your eldest sister," Shen Ning said calmly.

Yu Pingsheng looked up and met Shen Rou's slightly reddened eyes.

He smiled and said, "Yes, Second Miss is right. Eldest Miss is the most talented woman in Yanjing, and Jing Shu will inevitably have to trouble her in the future."

Shen Rou said softly, "Uncle, you're too kind."

uncle?

Shen Ning sneered inwardly.

They are clearly father and daughter.

It's ironic that they still address each other as uncle and nephew.

"If my cousin ever has any questions in the future, feel free to ask me, and I will teach her everything I know."

"I will treat my cousin like my own sister."

After Shen Rou finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Madam Yu.

As expected, a satisfied expression appeared on Madam Yu's face.

However, when he looked at Yu Jingshu, his gaze inadvertently met that of Yu Pingsheng.

A slight smile played on her lips, before she subtly averted her gaze.

"The day after tomorrow is the annual royal spring hunt,"

Madam Yu turned to Old Madam Shen, her tone somewhat probing.

"Madam, I wonder if Jing Shu will have the good fortune to go along?"

"If there are limited spots... could we send a message to the palace? So that Jing Shu can also go on the spring hunt to broaden her horizons and keep Rou'er company."

Madam Shen pondered for a moment and said, "In previous years, only unmarried women in the household were invited to the spring hunt."

"Now that Yue'er is bedridden, I don't know if she will go. If she doesn't go, then Miss Biao can go."

"This...isn't that inappropriate?" Madam Yu glanced at Shen Wan indifferently.

"It's been cold these past few days, and Wan'er's health has always been weak, so perhaps..."

"Second Aunt," Shen Ning suddenly spoke.

"Does Second Aunt not want Third Sister to go on the spring hunt?"

Madam Yu quickly replied with a smile, "That's not what I meant at all!"

"But Wan'er is not fully recovered yet, so it might not be appropriate for her to go on a spring hunt."

"However, if she insists on going, I, as the head of the household, can't very well stop her."

"However, Wan'er's etiquette and manners are not yet fully developed. What if she offends some important person during the spring hunt..."

Before she finished speaking, her meaning was already clear.

Shen Ning could see clearly that Madam Yu was trying to use the same old tricks again, just like she had done during the Spring Hunt in her previous life to scheme against her younger sister, Shen Wan.

He also wanted Shen Wan to give up her spot in the spring hunt to her illegitimate daughter, Yu Jingshu.

"If Second Aunt wants my cousin to go on the spring hunt, she can just ask Fourth Sister to give up her spot."

"Anyway, Fourth Sister needs to rest in bed for a while now," Shen Ning said firmly.

"My third sister is much better now, and she's definitely going to the spring hunt this year."

"Ning'er," Shen Rou said softly.

"That's not what my second aunt meant."

"That's enough!" Old Madam Shen slammed her hand on the table.

"Ask Wan'er herself if she wants to go."

Shen Wan pursed her lips, looked up firmly, and said, "Grandmother, I want to go."

Madam Shen: "In that case, we'll just have to let Yue'er give up her spot."

Yu's face was extremely unpleasant. Shen Yue went on the spring hunt every year. Although she was unwell, she was not unable to walk.

"It's all my fault..."

Yu Jingshu, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly choked up and spoke.

Her eyes were red as she looked at everyone in the hall.

"I've caused so much trouble for the Shen family since I arrived..."

As she spoke, a tear slid down her cheek.

Yu Pingsheng quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Madam Shen, since the number of spots for the spring hunt is limited, and Jing Shu is new to Yanjing and not yet familiar with the rules, it's fine if she doesn't go."

"I feel really bad for causing trouble for your household now."

Madam Yu laughed and said, "How is this troublesome?"

"Wan'er and Yue'er are both unwell, so this spot was originally extra. Jing Shu can accompany Rou'er."

She beckoned to Yu Jingshu, "Jingshu, come here."

With red eyes, Yu Jingshu walked up to Madam Yu.

Madam Yu affectionately pulled her to sit down beside her and gently wiped away her tears.

"You useless child, why are you crying?"

"Treat yourself at your aunt's place as if you're at home."

Yu Jingshu nodded gently and wiped away her tears.

Madam Yu sighed, "Since Wan'er insists on going on the spring hunt, then we can only ask Yue'er to make do."

"Today, Jing Shu and Rou'er will stay in the same courtyard for now, so that the two sisters can..."

"Cough cough..." Before Madam Yu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yu Pingsheng's cough.

Yu immediately changed his tune.

"Let Rou'er teach Jing Shu the rules of Yanjing today, so that she won't be impolite during the spring hunt."

"Yes, Second Aunt."

After agreeing, Shen Rouwen glanced at Yu Jingshu again.

Shen Ning took in the expressions of the others, and sneered inwardly.

In her past life, she was beaten and bruised all over when she returned to the Marquis's mansion, and this cousin took her place.

I wonder what it will feel like for Shen Yue to have her place taken by her mother, who is an illegitimate child, in this life.

Shen Yue's competitive nature makes her difficult to get along with.

She's probably still in the dark.

Madam Yu: "Today I've invited a tailor to the manor to take measurements and make new clothes for the young ladies. What do you think, Madam?"

Madam Shen nodded.

"As you wish. Our two in-laws have come from afar, so please make sure everything is arranged perfectly."

Madam Yu replied, "Yes, Madam."

"In that case, Granny, please take my brother to the Wei River Garden first."

"Rou'er, take Jing Shu to your courtyard first."

"Yes, Second Aunt." Shen Rou got up and led Yu Jingshu to her courtyard.

Yu Pingsheng was also taken away by the nanny to arrange accommodation.

Only a few people remained in the front hall.

"Grandmother," Shen Ning said.

"My third sister's illness has not yet improved, and the medicine prescribed by the family physician is ineffective. Could we please invite another doctor to the manor to treat her?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Yu's expression immediately darkened.

"How many doctors have we consulted for Wan'er's illness? Even if we consult more, it will be in vain."

Shen Ning looked directly at her: "What do you mean by that, Second Aunt?"

"Weren't you just about to call a doctor for your uncle? Why are you unwilling to do so for my sister?"

"Enough! What's all the noise about?"

Old Madam Shen said angrily, "Our guests are here today, so stop saying such things!"

She glared at Shen Wan, "The doctor has already examined Wan'er's illness and said it can't be cured, only treated slowly."

Shen Wan lowered her head, gently biting her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, full of grievance.

The atmosphere in the front hall froze for a moment.

Just then, the gatekeeper rushed in to report: "Madam, the Ye family has arrived."

"The Ye family?" Old Madam Shen frowned slightly.

"What are the Ye family doing here? We won't see them!"

"Madam Shen, what is the meaning of this? Why do you refuse to see me?" A sharp female voice came from outside the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a noblewoman dressed in fine clothes barging in, surrounded by maids and servants.

Behind her followed Madam Wang, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

There was also an elderly doctor carrying a medicine box.

The maids and servants behind them were carrying exquisite fabrics and ornaments.

Upon seeing the noblewoman, Madam Shen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly stood up.

"Princess Consort of Huainan, I have failed to greet you properly."
