PNB Chapter 219 will definitely give you an explanation!
Chapter 219 will definitely give you an explanation!
Qin Xuerong's expression froze slightly, obviously she didn't expect Madam Feng to suddenly attack.
Mrs. Feng was quite proud of her husband and son's successful careers, so she was usually arrogant and not easy to get along with.
But Shen Jingchuan held an important position, so she was quite polite to him and could talk to him a little.
In addition, Sister Zhen has always admired Feng Bochang, so I often show my goodwill to her, so the relationship between the two families is quite harmonious.
But now, although these words were said with a smile, they didn't sound polite at all.
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Feng said this, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Jingzhen, and there was a hint of intrigue in her eyes.
Shen Jingzhen was stunned for a few seconds. She never expected that she would end up making things worse and leave a bad impression on her future mother-in-law.
Her face turned slightly red, and she immediately explained, "Madam, you misunderstood. It is precisely because Jingzhen has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures for more than a month that her sense of taste has become sensitive, so she can taste the flavor of nectar."
Madam Feng raised her eyes and glanced at her, saying quietly, "Miss Third is a person from the outside world, so you should devote yourself to worshipping Buddha and seriously reflect on your mistakes. Now that Lord Shen has allowed you to practice at home, you should cherish the opportunity."
Mrs. Feng's words made Shen Jingzhen unable to laugh. Her face turned red and white, and she didn't understand what she meant.
But no matter what it means, at least... it sounds like she is no longer considering marrying into the Feng family.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingzhen felt lost and subconsciously raised her eyes to look in the direction of Feng Bochang again.
This glance happened to fall into Mrs. Feng's eyes, making her feel so angry that her heart was blocked.
She is a woman with a bad reputation, and now she dares to seduce her son!
How shameless!
Bochang's career is going smoothly and he is highly valued. He has a bright future. How could he be involved with a tainted woman like her!
Shen Shuyi stood in the crowd, watching this scene, with his lips slightly curved.
Tsk, good things never come easily.
It seems that even if she were to start over again in this life, it would not be easy for Shen Jingzhen to marry into the Feng family.
But it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, the more hardships and dangers one goes through, the more pure and moving the feelings become. After all, the more you can't get something, the more you want it.
During this moment, Zhang Xu and Wang Mao had already studied several pieces of Eight Treasures Cakes thoroughly.
The two discussed in a low voice for a while. Facing the gazes of Old Madam Shen, Shen Jingchuan and the others, Zhang Xu stepped forward under pressure and said, "Reporting to the Old Madam, Lord Shen, this Eight Treasures Cake does not contain nectar. After careful inspection, there is no osmanthus ingredient."
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to whisper again.
"That's really strange. But having said that, I found all the dishes at this banquet to be quite good, and I didn't taste anything that tasted like osmanthus."
"I think there must be something wrong somewhere else. After all, Miss Shen is so clear about this, how could she be so careless about this matter?"
"I tried it but couldn't taste anything. Maybe the Third Miss has been a vegetarian for too long and has some problems with her sense of taste."
"But we have to give the Sun family an explanation for this matter. After all, Miss Sun's outburst just now was really dangerous. This is really..."
The group of people were talking about it. Shen Jingzhen's face looked a little ugly, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of Qin Xuerong.
how come?
Her mother clearly told her that she would teach Shen Shuyi a lesson at her grandmother's banquet!
After she inquired several times, she found out that not only the dishes would be tampered with, but also the precious granddaughter of the Sun family would be tampered with.
But...but right now this is...
Qin Xuerong's face also looked a little ugly, her lips were tightly pursed, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly twisted together.
Qin Guiqiong also frowned, feeling that Shen Shuyi was really difficult to deal with. After all, it was arranged by her sister herself, and even if it was not foolproof, there would be at least some evidence left behind.
Madam Shen heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "What about the other dishes, cakes, and drinks?"
Zhang Xu apologized, "Madam, I am incompetent and have not found anything wrong. Lord Wang and I have not tasted any osmanthus in these dishes."
Madam Chai said dimly, "Maybe the dosage added to something is not enough for people to taste it."
Zhang Xu said: "Actually... there is another way..."
Shen Jingchuan said: "Master Zhang, please speak."
"I have also examined Miss Sun's illness before, and I know that she is quite sensitive to the smell of osmanthus, so you can ask Miss Sun to check it yourself, and maybe you can find some clues."
Zhang Xu's words stunned everyone, and their eyes fell back on Sun Yahui.
Madam Sun frowned and said, "Sister Hui just had an attack once. If you try it rashly like this..."
Zhang Xu said again: "If osmanthus flowers are really added to the food, the taste will actually be much lighter. Miss Sun has just taken the pills, so she can judge by her senses and nothing will go wrong."
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun said nothing more.
After all, the Sun family and the Shen family have always been on good terms, and the Shen family is willing to help them get to the bottom of the matter. However, if it is really not the Shen family's fault, they also need to clear the Shen family's name.
This will also help avoid any rift between the two families in the future.
Sun Yahui thought for a moment, then stood up with the help of the maid and said, "In that case, I will taste it again."
But in fact, Sun Yahui only felt uncomfortable when she sat down.
I didn't notice anything wrong during the consumption.
Madam Shen looked at Shen Shuyi and asked, "Have you served all the food? Are you sure nothing is missing?"
Shen Shuyi bowed and said, "Yes, Grandmother. The leftovers from before have not been processed yet. If we can't find it here, you can ask Master Zhang and Master Wang to go to the kitchen later to investigate."
Hearing this, Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had gained some confidence.
Because she was still weak, Sun Yahui walked slowly, her steps were a little slow, and her whole body was still a little weak.
When she passed by Shen Jingzhen, she paused slightly and subconsciously turned back to look at Shen Jingzhen beside her. That indescribable feeling surged up again.
After she scolded him, Shen Jingzhen thought she was unwell and quickly reached out to support her: "Sister Hui, are you feeling unwell?"
Sun Yahui opened her mouth but said nothing. Her eyes fell on Shen Jingzhen, but she couldn't help but look at her carefully.
Although Shen Jingzhen was wearing a gray Buddhist robe, if you looked closely, you could easily see that she had drawn her eyebrows and put on powder and lip balm.
Although not ostentatious, she can be identified as a woman at a glance. In fact, if you look closely, her makeup is even more delicate than that of the second young lady of the Shen family.
Of course, the most important thing is... the fragrance on her body that is hard to ignore...
It was mixed with a scent of osmanthus that made her feel dizzy, and also had a greasy sweetness that made her feel nauseous.
Sun Yahui suddenly remembered that she first felt uncomfortable when Shen Jingzhen appeared and sat next to her.
Facing Sun Yahui's scrutiny, Shen Jingzhen didn't notice anything wrong, she just said intimately: "Sister Hui, how are you? The person who caused your old illness to flare up is really abominable. Don't worry, if it is our Shen family's fault, we will definitely give you an explanation!"
