Chapter 148: Being a Thief Peeping at Miss 8
After Doctor Sun left the house, Shen Wen hurriedly followed him with Zhi Nuan and Jin Sheng. However, the gatekeeper at the gate of the house, when he saw it was him from a distance, slammed the door shut.
When Shen Wen ran closer, two doormen stopped him and said to him with a smile: "Seventeenth Master, please stay. You can't go out today. The master has told you that you are sick these days and it is inconvenient for you to go out."
Shen Wen looked at the two doormen and asked, "Are you the newly assigned doormen?"
A servant said, "Sir, we are the gatekeepers, but we are not new. We were transferred here by the master two years ago. My name is Ma Jiu."
Another said: "My name is Heimao"
Shen Wen asked, "Did Dr. Sun just go out through this door?"
Ma Jiu replied: "Yes, he is a famous doctor, we all know him."
Shen Wen said: "Do you know what he is going to do today?"
Ma Jiu replied, "Yes, it was Lord Qian from Yingtian Prefecture who asked him to see a doctor. I naturally heard the news from the young men."
Shen Wen said, "That's it. Lord Qian's wife is seriously ill, and he has come to ask Dr. Sun to go with me to treat his wife. How about this, if you don't believe it, one of you can follow me to the Yingtian government office to see if it's true."
Ma Jiu was unmoved. He stood there straight, still smiling, and said, "We believe you, but we still can't let you go. You are a patient, a patient that alarmed the emperor, and the old man in the family was beaten for this. We can't let you go. If some unlucky person makes you sick, our lives will be in danger."
Shen Wen said, "Then why won't you let me go? Even if this causes the death of Mr. Qian's wife, you won't let me go?"
Heimao said, "Seventeenth Master, please stop scaring us. We believe that Divine Doctor Sun went to save people, but we don't believe that you were invited to treat people. You should just go back and stay here."
Zhi Nuan had already lost her patience when she saw Shen Wen arguing with the two guys. She rolled up her sleeves and said to Shen Wen, "Sir, why are you being so polite to them? They are just two guard dogs. As the saying goes, a good dog doesn't block the road. Since they don't act like good dogs, I will teach them a lesson."
After saying that, he was about to attack, but the two gatekeepers did not take Zhinuan, a young girl, seriously. They looked down on her and pretended to take the attack.
Shen Wen grabbed Zhinuan and said, "Forget it, let's not go out." Then she took Zhinuan and Jinsheng and walked back.
She knew very well that if someone was dying, it was urgent. If she had a fight with the two servants and then alerted the old master or the old marquis, she would really delay things. So she said to Zhi Nuan halfway, "You go back first, I'll jump over the wall from here. If the servants in the mansion are watching us and ask about it, you can cover for me and say I went to the toilet or did anything else. It's better to delay them."
Zhi Nuan disagreed. She said, "Just leave Jin Sheng to deal with this matter. I will jump over the wall with you. It would be better if someone can protect you at all times."
Shen Wen said, "No, Jin Sheng is too honest and straightforward. He can't learn to lie and deceive people. You listen to me, you stay. I will only be out for an hour or two. Nothing will happen. Even if someone in this mansion wants to harm me, there are people who will protect me. Isn't there your master outside? People from our sect are everywhere. I believe someone will save me."
Zhinuan had no choice but to follow Shen Wen's arrangements.
Shen Wen was very agile, and although the injuries on her body made it more difficult for her to climb the wall, fortunately she found a terrain that was easier. After climbing over the wall, there was a big tree outside. She jumped onto the tree and then slid down.
Shen Wen landed safely on the ground, brushed off the dust on his hands, and then tidied his clothes.
But I heard a voice in my ear saying, "Do you think you are doing a good job climbing the wall?"
When Shen Wen heard this, her heart tightened, but the voice belonged to someone she was very familiar with, so she patted her clothes with relief and looked around for the source of the voice.
But she looked left and right, but couldn't see the man.
"Up there, bitch."
Shen Wen then raised his head to look at the top of the tree, and through the gap he vaguely saw a corner of clothes and the man's feet.
However, before he could ask the man to come down from the tree, another group of people discovered Shen Wen.
The group of people shouted "Don't move" and hurriedly came to him.
The young man in the lead pointed at Shen Wen with a paper fan in his hand and said, "Look, there are really some people who are so daring. The one who peeped at Miss Eight the other day was a stupid and foolish boy, and today it's a poor boy who is neither man nor woman."
These people were patrolling outside the Shen Mansion on the orders of the eldest master, because two days ago a man was secretly peeking over the wall at the back door of the Shen Mansion and was spotted by the eighth young lady of the Shen family who happened to be passing by. The servants were alarmed and the man was captured and sent to the old marquis.
At this time, Shen Wen disagreed with his description. How could she look like a poor boy? He couldn't help but look at the silk gown she was wearing. She looked good in it, didn't she?
The one pointing at Shen Wen with a fan was a grandson of the Shen family, who worked as a housekeeper for the Shen family. His name was Shen Song. Behind him were Shen Bai, Shen Zhi, and Shen Ju, who were of the same generation, and finally Shen Huifeng and Shen Bifeng, who were nephews of the Feng generation.
Shen Zhi looked at Shen Wen with a smirk on his face, then nudged Shen Ju beside him with his shoulder and said with a smile: "Look at this, she's even more feminine than you. Who says someone like you doesn't have the guts to be so lewd?"
Shen Ju punched Shen Zhi in anger, and said with a pouty voice, "Don't mention me. You always have to tease me."
His androgynous behavior immediately made everyone laugh.
After laughing, Shen Song said to Shen Wen in a haughty manner: "Boy! You can't run away today. How can you, a scoundrel like you, take a casual look at the daughter of our Marquis's family? I caught you red-handed today, and I must teach you a lesson."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked everyone to come together and capture Shen Wen alive.
Facing the menacing siege, Shen Wen calmly stretched out her finger and put it on her lips to shush them, causing them to stare at her in a daze. Shen Wen told them to look at her finger and counted: "One... two... three"
As soon as she finished speaking the three words, she struck Shen Song on the base of his neck with her palm, knocking him down. Then she turned her palm into a fist and hit Shen Ju on the head, whose face had changed. Shen Ju fell to the ground, rolled his eyes and fainted.
Shen Wen had only taken the time to knock down two people, and two of the other four had already been knocked down. Finally, the only two left, Shen Huifeng and Shen Bifeng, who wanted to escape, were grabbed by the collar by Shen Wen and the man, each holding them in their hands like chicks.
Shen Wen said with interest, "I say, Chu Yanqiu, the person they are talking about who is so daring that he peeks, isn't it you?"
Chu Yanqiu curled his lips and chuckled, "Yes, I came here to spy, but it's not someone else, it's you!"
The two men who were caught by the collar were forced to eat a big melon, and they looked at Shen Wen with curious eyes.
However, before he could see Shen Wen clearly, he was hit on the head by someone and knocked unconscious.
Looking at the young men lying on the ground, Shen Wen clapped her hands in a refreshed mood. She saw Chu Yanqiu quietly waiting for her, so she went up to him, hugged his neck, turned his head to face her and asked, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again for me?"
"what?"
"Are you here to spy?"
Chu Yanqiu's heartbeat quickened at her teasing tone, but he pulled Shen Wen's arm and said, "No, I don't have the leisure to come here to peek."
Unexpectedly, instead of pulling the woman's arms away, he was instead ridden on by the woman with her legs hanging around his waist.
Such an indecent behavior made Chu Yanqiu blush instantly.
Shen Wen hugged Chu Yanqiu like a teddy bear, resting his head on the crook of his neck, and said in a very naughty way: "My injured part hurts, I'm afraid I can't walk, luckily you carry me."
Chu Yanqiu had no choice but to do as she wished, holding her tighter in his arms, and walking with her in his arms.
Shen Wen rested softly on him and lazily muttered to her, "It's really tiring. You can see that no one in the Shen family is worry-free. There are always people blocking me when I climb over the wall. Fortunately, you care about me."
Chu Yanqiu just said: "Just bear with it a little longer, it will be fine."
Shen Wen's dishonest fingertips slid along his neck and ears, gently and lovingly, making the man uneasy. He couldn't help but stop and let her go.
Shen Wen then pressed against his chest, and then put his arms around the man's waist, and said tenderly, "What are you doing? I haven't rested enough."
Chu Yanqiu stared at the young woman coldly until she looked up at him. He said, "Behave and speak properly in broad daylight."
Shen Wen then let go of the man and returned to his normal self. He crossed his arms and asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? I have something urgent to do. Let's not waste each other's time."
Chu Yanqiu walked forward with his hands behind his back. He asked, "Do you want to start with Shen Maofeng?"
Shen Wen shook his head and said, "No, it's easy for you to deal with him with your position. With my status, I'm afraid it will give the Shen family masters a lot of room to clean up his mess. But I'm quite interested in hearing about what he did in Qinghe County. It depends on whether Lord Chu wants to tell me about it."
Chu Yanqiu looked back at her with a smile in his eyes.
Chu Yanqiu said: "What have you guessed? Tell me first."
Shen Wen walked side by side with him and said, "What I can guess is not what you revealed to me. He and Jiang Duzhi are the magistrate and the deputy magistrate of Qinghe County respectively. When they met yesterday, they wished that each other would disappear from this world. Add to that what you said, it's hard not to suspect something. However, I met Shen Maofeng's wife Huang Yulian this morning, and I'm more interested in Shen Maofeng's peach blossom debt."
