Chapter 217 Useless things!
Qin Xuerong raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Shuyi, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Well, since you have real talent and can even surpass Sister Yu, I want to see if you can pass this level!
Qin Xuerong withdrew her gaze, but was not in a hurry.
But she had made up her mind to teach Shen Shuyi a lesson today. If she failed today, then don't blame her for being ruthless!
She would never allow this bastard left by Zhao Derong to block Shen Jingyu's way.
Just thinking about the days when her daughter should have been in the limelight, but now Shen Shuyi has to step on Shen Jingyu to become famous, Qin Xuerong felt indescribably aggrieved in her heart.
How on earth did this little bastard do it?
Isn’t the years of deliberation at the Jade Buddha Temple enough?
I don't know what kind of evil magic she used to develop such a talent for calligraphy and painting that she could become the head of a family!
Qin Xuerong still doesn't believe that Shen Shuyi relies on real talent and knowledge.
She just thought that she was so skilled that she could do it so perfectly!
Shen Jingzhen stood aside and watched Zhang Xu and Wang Ming checking the things on the long table, while her eyes could not help but look in the direction of Feng Bochang.
Unfortunately, the tall and straight man seemed not to notice her at all. Instead, he was chatting happily with the ladies of the two families who were quite interested in him.
Shen Jingzhen bit her lip, her eyes reddening, knowing that the two families also wanted to marry their daughters into the Feng family.
Originally, she was the most promising...
But now, her reputation is ruined and she has become a laughing stock in the capital. Will Brother Feng still be willing?
Seeing that he was quite popular, but never looked in her direction from beginning to end, Shen Jingzhen was anxious and felt indescribably unwilling.
She took two steps back gently, taking the opportunity to withdraw from the crowd and hide behind them.
Seeing that most people's attention was on Zhang Xu and Wang Ming, and they were talking in low voices, Shen Jingzhen's eyes flashed with a struggle. After a while, she took out a folded note from her sleeve, found Chuntao, and whispered, "Go and serve a pot of tea to Commander Feng, and give this note to him quietly."
Chun Tao's pupils trembled, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand and dodged backwards: "Miss Third, this...if someone finds out..."
I can’t explain it even if I had a lot of words!
The Third Miss's reputation has already been damaged. If this matter spreads again, it will be considered as a private transaction.
And as a maid, she is afraid that she will not be able to escape death!
Seeing her cowering appearance, Shen Jingzhen's eyes turned red with anger, and she said viciously: "Useless thing! If you were more careful, you wouldn't be discovered!"
Chuntao has always loved money and cherished her life.
He was originally a servant beside the lady, and now he was sent to be by Shen Jingzhen's side. Although he was trusted, he happened to be in a period when Shen Jingzhen was not successful, so his life was not easy.
"Miss Third...Miss Third!" Chuntao really wanted to cry at this moment.
Shen Jingzhen was even more furious. She grabbed her sleeve and twisted her arm fiercely through her thin clothes: "Watch your mouth and get it done! Otherwise, if the matter is exposed, you will suffer the consequences!"
Chuntao burst into tears due to the pain. In panic, she had no choice but to take the note that Shen Jingzhen stuffed into her hands.
Shen Jingzhen looked at her back as she turned and left, and was also filled with anger.
If her two trusted maids had not been killed by Shen Shuyi last time, how could she be so aggrieved now?
No one else could be trusted as the one her mother sent, and she had no other choice.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were indifferent. He caught a glimpse of Shen Jingzhen's little movements out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Her sister really did not disappoint her, and it was worth her effort to rescue her from the nunnery.
Shen Shuyi withdrew his gaze, walked to Zhao Xueqing's side, and whispered something to her.
Zhao Xueqing was slightly surprised, then nodded and immediately instructed a maid beside her.
The maid nodded slightly and quietly left the crowd.
Shen Shuyi was quite envious. Ever since she was bullied by the Chai family last time and her cousin accepted her proposal, the Marquis' Mansion bought her two skilled maids to protect her.
Although Agate's skills are pretty good, he is still a little lacking in technique.
Shen Shuyi thought about sending the person back to her uncle and asking him to find two masters to help her teach Manou. This way, it would be much more convenient for her to employ people in the mansion.
After Chuntao left, her nerves were tense. She first found a tea tray and tried to press the note under the pastry plate, leaving only an inconspicuous corner exposed.
Then he began to wait for the opportunity, planning to send the things to Feng Bochang when he was alone.

On the other side, Zhang Xu and Wang Ming checked for a long time. After checking everything on the long table one by one, Zhang Xu apologized: "Reporting to Madam Shen, I am really sorry. After investigation by Lord Wang and I, there is no osmanthus ingredient in the cakes and drinks on the table."
Qin Xuerong frowned and said, "So, Yahui's allergy is indeed strange?"
Shen Jingzhen had now returned to the front of the crowd, probably because she felt guilty and didn't want others to notice that she had quietly retreated behind the crowd. Or maybe because Feng Bochang hadn't even glanced in her direction for a long time, she couldn't help but want to say something to attract his attention.
Immediately, Shen Jingzhen said in a gentle voice: "When did Sister Hui feel uncomfortable? Could it be that it was not because of these after-dinner snacks, but..."
Shen Jingzhen stopped talking halfway through her words, but everyone around knew that there were only two possibilities behind these words.
One possibility is that there was something wrong with the food at the banquet, and the other is that he had eaten something by mistake before Sun Yahui arrived.
But the Sun family knew that Sun Yahui was allergic, so how could they be so careless?
The most likely possibility is that the problem lies at the banquet.
As if she realized that she had said something wrong, Shen Jingzhen, dressed in gray Buddhist robes, looked in the direction of Shen Shuyi, lowered her eyebrows and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, second sister, I don't doubt you, but I really don't know where to start."
Shen Shuyi said calmly, "It's not wrong for Third Sister to want to get to the bottom of the matter. After all, an allergy can be a minor or serious matter. It concerns Miss Sun's life, so we naturally have to get to the bottom of it so that we can give Miss Sun an explanation."
Shen Jingzhen raised her eyes and looked at Shen Shuyi. Although she was wearing a plain gray dress, her face was obviously well-groomed. Her eyes were affectionate and she looked more gentle. The man who didn't know the truth thought she was naturally beautiful, like a lotus blooming in clear water, without any natural embellishment.
Sensing that Feng Bochang's eyes had finally landed on her, Shen Jingzhen knew that she had made the right bet. She ignored the mocking looks from the other women and said again, "Since Second Sister doesn't mind, and the kitchen has prepared a feast, why not have the servants bring the food up and check it out again."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Of course, Nanny Fang, notify the kitchen to serve another table."
"Yes." Nanny Fang turned and retreated. Nanny Wang, noticing Qin Xuerong's gaze, also hurriedly followed.
Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry. When wealthy families entertained guests, they would often prepare a few more tables in case of emergency, so it was not difficult to set up another table now.
I just don't know whether my cousin's maid succeeded.
