Chapter 4: Are You A Princess? The Kind With A Ruined Reputation (Part 2)

"Where is my second sister now?"

"Resting in the prince's residence." Hong Zhu sighed, "The prince was quick to call someone for a doctor. The prince couldn't find anything wrong. I don't know what happened to the second lady."

He Xiyan is up?

Shen Wan didn't think He Xiyan would change his face. She remembered that night clearly. Her long nailed scratched a few traces on He Xiyan's face. Besides, it's impossible for He Xiyan to heal this quickly. There must be a lot of scars on his body.

"Then I'll see what's going on."

When Shen Wan came to He Xiyan's house, she saw He Xiyan sitting on the stool with a blank face. Once he saw her coming in, burning rage lit up his eyes, almost making her take a step back. Damn, is this guy scary. Is he going to kill her?

"Your Highness, how is my second sister?"

"There's toxins penetrating her five internal organs; six including her lungs. Her days are numbered." ¹ When He Xiyan said this, a painful expression shifted on his face before it flashed away. Why can this person, who he can't stand to be with, be happy without a care in the world, while the person who he actually likes is lying there lifeless with only days left to live.

"Did the doctor look into it?"

Shen Wan feigned concern. To reveal that Shen Shi was poisoned while she was in the womb and not because of an incident in the General's Mansion is too complicated. Shen Shi's mother was not mentally sound. She poisoned herself and planned to frame her mother, but did not expect that she was pregnant. Shen Shi's mother successfully carried through after getting treatment, but it was a miracle how a baby can even be born after what happened.

There were few people who can succeed the General's Mansion due to General Shen not accepting concubines. But Shen Wan's mother was injured after she was born and was unable to conceive for a long time. Lady Shen had to send Shen Shi's mother to General Shen's side. At first, General Shen refused to touch the other woman, but then Shen Wan's mother weakened further. She persuaded General Shen that he couldn't let the Shen family have no reigning lady and he officially accepted Shen Shi's mother. Shen Wan's mother was still alive after General Shen died in battle, but the thought of her husband's death led her to follow him in the afterlife. Ancient people were not good at this. They give birth to a child, then proceed to die without paying attention to anything most of their lives.

"I've checked up on her and sent someone to summon the imperial doctor." Naturally, this request is only an excuse so he could get checked by a doctor. If the emperor knew that he asked an imperial doctor for Shen Shi, then he would think nothing unusual was going on with He Xiyan.

Shen Wan stood to the side, comforting mindlessly, "Don't worry, my second sister will be fine."

He Xiyan heard Shen Wan's tone of voice and felt disgusted. Of course, Shen Shi will be fine. Had the other woman not escaped his plot, Shi'er would not have suffered so much today. Shi'er acquired the toxin from her mother's womb. The General's Mansion was not safe. Most of the people there were aligned with Shen Wan's mother. Only she who hated Shi'er's mother must have secretly poisoned her. The woman was dead, so this debt will be repaid sooner or later.
