Chapter 84: Cherishing Feelings (Lililiya and Ushio+)

  "Isn't it Siyan? Really isn't it Siyan?" Sheng Qiye was both shocked and delighted, hahaha laughing as he spun around in a circle in the room.

  Niu Datong nodded hastily, "It's really not your family's eldest daughter, but her personal maid."

  Sheng Qiye turned around twice, and from hearing the news, his tightly strung nerves finally relaxed, and his mind cleared up.

  "Isn't it Siyan? Where is Siyan?" Sheng Qiye knew that the big servant girl was following Miss step by step. This was what Wang Shi said when she trained these newly bought servant girls at home. Sheng Qiye remembered it clearly.

  If Haitang is here, then Sheng Siyan won't be here?

  Sheng Qiye grew up in the temple and was only half-understanding of things other than medicine, so he trusted Wang's vision and methods very much.

  The most unbearable time in his life was the ten years he spent away from Wang Shi. He felt guilty for ten years, self-blamed for ten years, and had planned to clear the injustice for the Sheng family after which he would follow Wang Shi and their child whom he had never met before.

  Heaven has eyes, and he was reunited with his wife and children who had been separated for ten years. In the end, he was able to restore his title and revive his family's prosperity.

  All of this is thanks to his capable and like-minded wife, Mrs. Wang.

  When Old Man Shen spoke up, Niu Datong felt a bit embarrassed again. He muttered, "......Uh, I didn't know that either. You have to save my sister and Haitang first." However, he assured Old Man Shen, "Your family's eldest daughter really isn't here, we've searched carefully."

  Sheng Qiye pursed his lips, immediately turned around and called over his servant, instructing him: "Hurry back home and tell Madame about the situation here, also take a look to see if Big Sister is at home."

  That young man was shocked. Just now he had clearly heard the empress's words, saying that the eldest daughter of the Niu family saved the eldest daughter of the Sheng Guo Gong Fu...

  Why isn't the big girl here?

  That little fellow couldn't help but take a quick glance inside the house.

  "Sheng Qiye angrily said: 'What are you looking at?! I told you to go back and convey the message, what are you waiting for?'"

  The young man quickly withdrew his gaze, nodded and hurriedly headed towards the Sheng Guo Gong Fu.

  Sheng Qiye came over and took Haitang's pulse.

  "It's all right. She was just frightened, no serious harm done." Sheng Qiye briefly checked her pulse and looked at Haitang's complexion before standing up and brushing off his robe.

  Niu Dapeng let out a sigh of relief and then took Sheng Qiye to see Niu Xiaoye.

  Niu Xiaoye's situation is much more serious.

  Several veterinarians from other places are treating Niu Xiaoye.

  They have taken his pulse and are now discussing a prescription.

  Seeing Niu Dapeng respectfully holding his hands, following behind a scholar wearing a sable coat and walking in, these officials involuntarily stood up to show their respect.

  Although this scholar is wearing a luxurious sable coat, the robe underneath is actually the attire of a Taichang Temple monk.

  These doctors are just ordinary people, although they have heard of Sheng Qiye's name, but no one has seen him.

  Until Niu Datong spoke up, "Sheng Qiye, my sister is over there. Please, no matter what, you must save her." As he said this, Niu Datong's eyes reddened.

  He and Niu Xiaoye are full siblings born to the same mother, while their other brothers and sisters in the family are either illegitimate or from their uncle's or aunt's families; only the two of them are the closest.

  Moreover, Niu Xiaoye was seriously injured this time, and it was still his fault...

  Sheng Qiye said, "I don't dare to guarantee this. Life and death are destined. A doctor can only save lives, not deaths. If the situation is too bad, you should be prepared for the worst." He spoke in a serious tone, without any courtesy or comforting intention.

  Niu Datong was so choked with rage that he couldn't speak a word, his face flushing bright red.

  The expressions on those doctors' faces were also very strange.

  Sheng Qiye ignored them and walked forward to carefully examine Niu Xiaoye.

  "It's okay, it can be saved. However, the internal organs have suffered a huge impact and need to be taken care of before they recover." Sheng Qiye indeed had sacred hands, and with just a few strokes, he wrote out a prescription.

  Niu Datong was both grateful and ashamed, knelt down and kowtowed twice to Sheng Qiye, then said: "Haitang has already woken up."

  Sheng Qiye hastily said: "Take me to see her." After seeing her, he came out with a fierce face and said to Niu Dapeng: "Prepare the sedan chair for me. I want to take her back."

  Niu Datong agreed and arranged for a sedan chair to send them back to Shengguo Gongfu.

  The young servant who had just returned was talking in Wang's Yanyutang Hall.

  Sheng Si's face turned red and white as she listened from behind the curtain, her brow furrowing gradually.

  Wang listened without changing his expression and said, "Old master is frightened out of his wits and talking nonsense. The eldest young lady has a good destiny, nothing will happen to her, you can go down first." After thinking for a moment, he called the little servant back, "Go and tell old master to finish taking the pulse and hurry back home."

  The little servant hastily went away.

  Wang got up and walked into the warm pavilion, saw Sheng Siyan's dazed appearance, stretched out her hand to stroke her cheek, and comforted her: "Don't worry, wait for your father to come back and see what's going on."

  Sheng Siyan clenched her fingers and said in a low voice, "It was I who sent Haitang out. I didn't want to let Niu Xiaoye lose faith with her family, so I wanted Haitang to go apologize on my behalf."

  Wang patted her forehead with his finger and said, "Now you know the severity?" After finishing, he hugged her again, "Fortunately, you didn't go, otherwise, I would have been scared to death."

  Sheng Siyan felt even more embarrassed, burying her head in Wang's bosom and refusing to show her face.

  Soon after, Seventh Master Shao returned, and Wang Shi pulled him into the warm pavilion.

  As soon as he saw Sheng Siyan standing there safe and sound, Sheng Qiye was overjoyed and hastily said: "Siyan, you're fine, that's all that matters, I almost died of fright today."

  Just now it was Wang's turn, now it's Sheng Qiye, the two people's boxing skills made Sheng Siyan's eyes brim with tears.

  "Dad, Mom, I'll never act on my own again." Sheng Siyan murmured in apology.

  "You're right," Sheng Qiye said immediately, "It was that maid who took it upon herself. What does it have to do with you?"

  Haitang woke up and as soon as she saw Sheng Qiye's furious face, she immediately confessed everything.

  Niu Datong felt extremely embarrassed as he listened, and almost knelt down to apologize again. He could only say: "My younger sister is young and ignorant, please forgive her, Lord Sheng Guo Gong, considering she has suffered serious injuries, don't hold it against her."

  Sheng Qiye didn't say anything at the time, but now that he's back home, he complains to Wang Shi nonstop.

  "...He's all talk! Young and ignorant! Can being young and ignorant make one so reckless?!" Seventh Master Sheng pounded the table.

  Sheng Siyan lowered her head in shame.

  This is the friend she regards as her closest confidante...

  Wang saw Sheng Siyan's embarrassed look and hastily gave Sheng Qiye a signal with her eyes.

  Sheng Qiye came back to his senses and said, "Siyuan, it's not your fault, don't feel guilty. You treated her as a friend, but she didn't treat you as one. Learn from this experience, remember to be more discerning in the future."

  Wang heard this and laughed, saying it was as if Sheng Qiye was quite good at recognizing people!

  Think of the Tuo family, it was actually found by Sheng Qiye himself!

  Sheng Qiye turned around to see Wang Shi's ambiguous gaze. He also thought of Tu Shi, touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "......Hehe, it was different at that time. I just wanted to find a good concubine to support me, regardless of her character? As long as she treated my family well, that was enough..."

  Wang coughed and said, "This matter, because of the Empress Dowager's interference, is more complicated than I had previously thought."

  Sheng Siyan was also thinking about this matter and whispered: "...if the Empress Dowager finds out, will she punish us for 'deceiving the emperor'?"

  It was said that Niu Xiaoye saved her, but in fact she had saved her maid. At the time, she was not present.

  This remark reminded Sheng Qiye, who hastily said: "It can't be. The Empress Dowager knows that's not Siyan."

  "Ah?!" Sheng Siyan and Wang Shi exclaimed in unison.

  "The empress dowager knew it wasn't Siyan, but said that Niu Xiaoye saved her? Who told you?" Wang's expression turned serious.

  Sheng Qiye nodded, "Niu Dapeng said that. He was really worried and when he sent me out, he secretly mentioned to me not to worry."

  Sheng Siyan thought for a hundred times but couldn't figure it out, "What does Your Majesty the Empress Dowager mean by this?"

  Wang's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she sank into thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager intentionally wants to bring us together with that person."

  "Who?"

  Wang made a "two" shape with his hand.

  Sheng Qiye understood it was the Second Prince and hastily said: "Isn't he a monk now?"

  "Can't you return to secular life after becoming a monk? You've become a monk too..." Wang Shi teased Sheng Qiye with a smile.

  Sheng Qiye smiled and made a gesture with his eyes at Sheng Siyan, "I heard your mother say that. Your mother is very powerful."

  Sheng Siyan also smiled and turned her head to gaze at Wang with adoration and infatuation.

  Wang's expression turned stern as he glanced at the two, a smile spreading across his face. "The Empress Dowager's move was truly like a deer hanging its antlers - leaving no trace to be found. The Crown Prince's timing is far off."

  Sheng Siyan curiously said: "I know that the Empress Dowager has won people's hearts. But... why did the Empress Dowager insist on making a mistake, saying that Haitang was me?"

  "She wants us to go to the Shengguo Gongfu, to repay a favor for the Cheng Niu family. And repaying a favor for the Cheng Niu family is actually repaying a favor for the person behind them." Madam Wang began to analyze this for the father and son duo.

  "Who is that person?"

  "The second prince. The Empress Dowager personally raised her grandson, and this relationship is not ordinary." Wang Shi turned his head to look out the window. "From Wang Yi's reminder to us, the coldness of this winter, they had expected it a long time ago, that is to say, the Empress Dowager also had early preparations."

  So all of this is under the control of Empress Dowager.

  Even the previously closed palace gates are now watching to see who can jump the highest...

  Sheng Siyan was amazed and admired the Empress Dowager's methods to the extreme. Of course, she also worshipped Wang Shi even more for being able to see through the Empress Dowager's plans with just a few clues.

  "Siyan, I'm afraid you'll have to put up with it. For the next few days, you can only 'rest at home'." Wang Shi said sympathetically.

  Sheng Siyan jumped up, "Right, how's Haitang? Is she okay?"

  "She's fine, just fainted from the shock. The beam fell down and was completely blocked by Niu Xiaoye. At that time, Niu Xiaoye was crouching on top of her." Sheng Qiye demonstrated with his sleeves.

  Wang raised an eyebrow and said, "This maid Haitang is too bold."

  Sheng Siyan looked at Wang with some unease, "How does Mother plan to deal with her?"

  "You tell me, what should I do with her?" Wang looked at Sheng Siyan with a smile.

  Sheng Siyan knew that her moment of trial had arrived.
