Chapter 510: Hunger strike? Only the eldest lady can cure it
Shen Wenting was a little bit incredulous when he heard what Han Shenyi said, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible. She had cured Princess Zi Ning's heart disease before, and relieved the old lady's headaches for many years. He had seen her acupuncture the old lady, and her movements were indeed skillful. So, maybe she really has a way? In any case, the old lady is her grandmother. If he went to ask her to come back to treat the old lady, she would definitely agree.
"Believe it or not, Lord Shen, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Han Junze said and left.
"Master, what happened? What did Doctor Han say?" When Yan Huan came over, Han Junze had already left.
"He said he can't cure it." Shen Wenting shook his head.
"Even Doctor Han can't cure it. It seems we need to think of other ways to treat the old lady's illness. It's okay, husband, we can find another doctor." Yan Huan comforted her.
"Dr. Han said that Shen Nianran, that evil girl, might be able to be cured."
"You mean the eldest lady?"
"Ah."
"That's great. The old lady is her grandmother, she will definitely come. We can just ask someone to invite her over." It would be much easier to invite Yao Qingnian than Doctor Han.
"But, I just kicked her out of the house, she must be feeling resentful, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Husband, let me try." Yan Huan said.
"Huan'er, you just went to ask for help from Dr. Han, and now I want you to go and ask that evil girl for help. Forget it, I'll think of a way." It would definitely be impossible to let him go. He was the dignified Shangshu, and if he had to ask her for help again just a few days after he had driven her out, he would lose face.
"As long as the old lady gets better, these two trips are nothing. I can invite Dr. Han, and I can definitely invite the eldest lady. Just leave it to me, and you can just wait for news at home." Yan Huan didn't want to go, but in order to consolidate her position in the mansion, she had to go. At most, she would suffer some cold eyes and get more money. How could she, a country girl, not be tempted?
"Well, Huan'er, please go there. I'll be waiting for your good news at home."
"Okay, sir, I'll go right away." Yan Huan changed his clothes and went to the Duke's Mansion.
Arriving outside the Duke's Mansion and looking at the imposing gate, Yan Huan became a little flustered. After calming himself down, he asked his servant to tell him that he wanted to see Yao Qingnian.
Yao Qingnian had expected her to come, so when he heard the servant report, he was not surprised and walked out calmly.
"Mrs. Shen, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Miss, I came here today to tell you something important. I wonder if I can lend you a place to talk."
"It's okay, just say whatever you want to say here!"
"You know that the old lady was injured. The situation is quite serious. The mansion invited Dr. Han to see her. He said that the eldest lady's medical skills are excellent. Only you can cure the old lady. So I came here specially to ask the eldest lady to go back and treat the old lady."
"Even Doctor Han can't cure it. Why do you come to me? Maybe you found the wrong person?" Yao Qingnian sneered.
"Dr. Han said you can cure it, Miss, if you have any idea, go and see the old lady. After all, she is your grandmother."
"Mrs. Shen, please don't try to make connections. I have severed my relationship with the Shen family and have no connection with them, let alone any grandmother." Yao Qingnian continued in a cold voice, "In fact, I do have a way to cure the old lady. I was originally planning to find an opportunity to treat her, but something unexpected happened and I was kicked out of the mansion, so I don't have the obligation to treat her anymore."
"I can understand that the eldest lady is angry with the master. Don't worry, the treatment will not be in vain. If you cure the old lady, I will give you one thousand taels of silver." Yan Huan took out the silver again and spoke.
"You can ask me to treat it, and let Shen Wenting come and beg me in person."
"Miss! Don't go too far! The master is your father. You asked him to come and beg you. Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass him?"
"You're right. I just want to embarrass him. This is my request. I won't discuss anything else. I have something else to do. Madam Shen, please go back. It's too late to leave."
Yesterday at Han Junze's house, Yao Qingnian heard that Yan Huan was looking for Han Junze to see the old lady. She already had an idea in her mind. She had been planning to cure the old lady, and this was a good opportunity. So she discussed a plan with Han Junze and asked Shen Wenting to come and beg her.
Yan Huan returned home angrily and told Shen Wenting everything Yao Qingnian had said.
"My husband, the eldest lady wants you to go and beg her in person. This is clearly an attempt to embarrass you. Let's not beg her and think of other ways."
"I knew she wouldn't agree so easily." Shen Wenting had already made this plan. Alas... He was impulsive at the time. If he had known, he would not have been so impulsive to drive them out. If his mother was here, she would definitely stop him. It's no use saying anything now.
"Now what?"
"Let's take it one step at a time!" She couldn't bring herself to ask Shen Wenting to beg her, so he decided to wait and see.
"Well, sir, I'll let my father think of a solution."
"Thank you Huan'er." Shen Wenting held her hand and patted it.
After hearing about this, the old lady started a hunger strike, refusing to eat or drink. She knew that Yao Qingnian might be able to save her, but she had no choice but to protest by going on a hunger strike to attract her son's attention. She wanted to get better so much that her life now was worse than death. If she couldn't be cured, she would rather starve to death.
After Shen Wenting received the news, he rushed to the old lady's yard: "Mom, why are you on a hunger strike? Madam, when did the old lady start to be like this?"
"Master, the old lady became like this after Dr. Han came yesterday." The nanny said.
"Mom, we can't skip this meal. You should eat something first and tell me what's going on slowly, okay?" Shen Wenting said softly. He asked the nanny to bring some porridge and wanted to feed it to the old lady, but the old lady kept her mouth tightly shut and refused to eat a single bite. Shen Wenting didn't know what was wrong with the old lady and could only worry.
Yan Huan thought for a moment and then asked, "Old Madam, do you want the eldest lady to come back and treat you? If so, just nod your head."
“Uh…” The old lady nodded desperately.
"Oh! So it's because of this matter, mother. It's not that we don't want to invite her. Yesterday, Huan'er went to the Duke's Mansion specifically to ask that evil girl for help, but she didn't come. There was nothing her son could do! Mother, stop making trouble. I'll think of other ways for you." Shen Wenting tried to comfort the old lady.
"Wuwuwu..." The old lady shook her head vigorously. Yao Qingnian was her last hope. No matter what, she would ask her son to call him over for her to try.
