Chapter 350 Poisoned? Shen Youran was taken away
"Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with your mother or your father!" Chen Shuhua didn't understand why her daughter, who seemed well-behaved and sensible before, now did things without considering the consequences.
"She told me about this, and I agreed to it. Isn't it just an ointment? She, Shen Nianran, can give it, but Youran can't?" He heard them say it with his own ears that day. That cheap girl took the ointment given by Youran and gave it to the eldest princess as a gift, and received a lot of rewards. In his opinion, Chen Shuhua just couldn't stand to see Youran doing well.
"That's right, Shuhua, although Youran is not your biological daughter, she is still the girl you have raised for more than ten years. As a mother, you should not be too biased." The old lady also echoed.
Aunt Mei looked at the whole family singing the same tune and leaving Chen Shuhua speechless. If anyone didn't know, they would think Shen Youran had done a great thing!
"Master Shen, are you sure you know about this?" the nanny asked again to confirm.
"Yes, aunt, I know." Shen Wenting said with certainty.
"Oh? Really?" Aunt Mei shouted to the people behind her, "Come here! Arrest Miss Shen! The ointment she gave caused the princess's face to become red and swollen due to allergies. According to the monitoring of the imperial physician, the ointment contains a deadly poison. The eldest princess specifically asked the old servant to take her back for questioning. If Lord Shen knows about this, then he is an accomplice. Take him away together!"
"What? Youran! What's going on! Aunt Mei misunderstood. I just came here and I know nothing. I must have heard it wrong. I wouldn't dare to do such a serious thing as murdering the princess even if you gave me a hundred heads!" When Shen Wenting heard that someone had poisoned her, he changed his attitude and hurriedly explained that he didn't know anything about it.
"Impossible! How is this possible! The ointment I sent was exactly the same as Shen...sister's. How could it be poisoned?!" Shen Youran explained hurriedly. She saw clearly that the ointment Yao Qingnian gave to the princess that day was the one she had added ingredients to. Could it be that that bitch secretly replaced the ointment?
"Since Miss Shen Er admitted that you sent it, then it will be easy. Let's go! Come with me. Our Princess Mansion will not wrongly accuse any innocent person."
"You Ran, tell father where you got that ointment." Shen Wenting was also panicked.
"Yes, I bought it from a traveling doctor in the capital... He said these ointments are rare and precious in the world, so I believed him and spent money to buy them back. I wanted to let the eldest princess try it." Shen Youran said in a tearful voice.
"Itinerant doctor? In my opinion, he is a charlatan!"
Aunt Mei glanced at them coldly. She thought that he dared to give something he bought from a traveling doctor to the eldest princess and let his sister send it as a gift. However, she had seen all of Miss Shen's things and found nothing wrong with them.
"Aunt, there must be some misunderstanding. Youran is so young, she would never do such a thing." Shen Wenting looked at his beloved daughter with a gloomy face.
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, the princess will find out for herself. Miss Shen, let's go!"
"Father, please save our daughter. I didn't poison the princess. My sister also gave me the ointment. How come it's fine but it's poisonous to me?"
Shen Youran only realized at this time that Yao Qingnian had readily accepted the gift, and then sent the ointment to the princess, and distributed the jewelry to herself when she came back. All of this seemed to be planned by her. The most reasonable explanation was that she had known that the ointment was poisonous, so she played along and tricked her into giving the remaining ointment to her. That bitch, what a vicious heart!
"Aunt Mei, how is the eldest princess now?" Chen Shuhua asked anxiously.
“The eldest princess’ face was poisoned. It is now red, swollen and painful. I’m afraid she will suffer. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the amount was not large and did not penetrate into the inside. Otherwise, even if Second Miss Shen had nine lives, it would not be enough to pay for it.” Aunt Mei shook her head as she looked at Shen Youran, who had done something wrong and was still hiding behind Shen Wenting. She didn’t know how she got the reputation of a talented woman. She was so scheming at such a young age.
"Okay, it's getting late, Lord Shen, Madam Shen, I'm going to take everyone back. Second Miss Shen will stay in the Princess's residence for the next few days, awaiting her fate. When the Princess's face gets better, she will be sent back." The meaning of Aunt Mei's words was very clear. She wanted Chen Shuhua to be at ease. As long as the Princess was fine, she would at most suffer a little. Otherwise, the consequences would not be something she could decide.
"Thank you for the trouble, Aunt Mei. I will come to your house to apologize in person someday. You Ran did such a thing because I, as a mother, failed to fulfill my obligation to discipline her." Chen Shuhua felt very guilty when she heard that the eldest princess was poisoned. If she had discovered it earlier and stopped it, this would not have happened.
"Father, mother, my daughter was wrongly accused. I really did not poison the princess. I will not go to the princess's mansion." Shen Youran wanted to struggle and hide, but was grabbed by the people brought by Aunt Mei and could not move.
“You Ran, go and apologize to the eldest princess first. Dad will find a way to rescue you.” Shen Wenting could only worry, but he could do nothing because she was the eldest princess who was high above him and the emperor’s biological sister.
"I'll take my leave." Aunt Mei had Shen Youran taken away.
"Aunt, take care!" Chen Shuhua personally saw Aunt Mei out.
After everyone left, she returned to the main hall. Shen Wenting was pacing back and forth. The old lady had no idea what was going on. How could he have attended the birthday banquet just fine, and then someone was arrested within two days?
"Shuhua! What's going on? What kind of ointment is this? You and the princess should be on good terms. Go and beg the princess tomorrow to release You Ran!"
"Yes, madam, as long as you show up on the princess's side, you will definitely be able to bring Youran back." Shen Wenting realized the seriousness of the matter this time, and begged with a humble attitude.
"Madam, Lord Shen, didn't you hear clearly just now? Nanny said that Youran poisoned the eldest princess. How can you ask me to beg her to release her with such a serious crime? The eldest princess is now poisoned and injured, and her condition is unclear. She is already giving me face by not sending her directly to the authorities." Chen Shuhua didn't want to pay attention to them. Given the current situation, she didn't want to think about how to make amends, she only wanted her to beg people.
"Are you going to watch Youran suffer? What kind of place is the Princess's Mansion? Will she be well off if she goes there?" Shen Wenting felt that she just didn't care about Youran. Now she watched her daughter being taken away without saying a word of pleading.
"Isn't it normal for her to suffer a little? The princess is a precious and noble woman, and she made such a big mistake! It's already a kindness of the princess not to kill her! All of you shut up!"
After Chen Shuhua finished speaking, she ignored them, walked out of the front hall and returned to her own yard.
