Chapter 190 Intentional Concealment
Shen Jingxuan waited outside the ear room, listening quietly to the sounds coming from inside.
After a long silence, the sporadic sounds stopped and the sound of light footsteps gradually came from the ear room.
The door was opened, and Shen Xinglin's pale face came into Shen Jingxuan's sight.
The moment Shen Xinglin saw Shen Jingxuan, his eyes suddenly widened.
When their eyes met, Shen Xinglin saw Shen Jingxuan's cold expression and lowered his head in silence.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan standing here, Shen Xinglin knew that his mother did not help him to hide the secret.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xinglin said guiltily: "Sister, you are here."
Although he had thought about the consequences of being discovered in advance, when it really happened, things seemed to be beyond his imagination.
Shen Xinglin never expected that Shen Jingxuan would become so cold.
"Look up and look at me." Shen Jingxuan stared at Shen Xinglin closely.
Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Shen Xinglin had to look up at Shen Jingxuan.
"Sister..." He wanted Shen Jingxuan to explain clearly, but was interrupted by Shen Jingxuan.
"Tell me, what happened?"
After waiting for Shen Xinglin for a long time, she realized that something was wrong.
When she saw Hao, she saw that her eyes were flickering slightly. No matter how she asked, she just answered perfunctorily. Shen Jingxuan became more certain of what she was thinking.
What surprised her was that Shen Xinglin, who had always been sensible and well-behaved, actually teamed up with her mother to deceive her.
Shen Xinglin didn't dare to hide it any longer at this time, so he had to answer Shen Jingxuan truthfully.
"Sister, I may have eaten something bad. My stomach has been feeling uncomfortable." Shen Xinglin said tactfully.
In fact, he was feeling more than just uncomfortable.
From morning till now, Shen Xinglin himself couldn't remember how many times he had gone to the toilet.
Shen Jingxuan was unhappy: "Why did you hide it from me together with mother?"
If they hadn't intentionally kept it from her, things wouldn't have been delayed until now.
Not only did it make her and her grandparents worry, but Shen Xinglin also had to endure so much pain for so long.
"Sister, I didn't let mother tell you because I was worried that you wouldn't let me take the exam." After she finished speaking, Shen Xinglin's eyes turned slightly red.
Today is particularly important to him and he doesn't want to be delayed by anything.
Even though he had health problems, he still wanted to insist on participating.
But what annoyed him was that no matter how many times he went to the toilet, the toilet would run back before he could even leave the yard.
After hearing what Shen Xinglin said, Shen Jingxuan's arrogance was instantly extinguished.
Shen Jingxuan's tone softened: "Lin'er, you should have told your sister earlier instead of deliberately hiding it from her."
She walked forward and pulled Shen Xinglin to sit down: "If you tell me in time, I can find a solution for you earlier."
Shen Jingxuan felt Shen Xinglin's pulse and after finding something unusual, she told the servant to call Mr. Xue.
Now the only solution she could think of was to call the master. Only by calling him could Shen Xinglin relieve the discomfort sooner.
Although she could also make medicine for Shen Xinglin, that would take up a lot of time and she would definitely miss Shen Xinglin's exam.
While waiting, Shen Jingxuan asked, "Lin'er, what did you eat today?"
"Just the things we eat on a daily basis." Shen Xinglin answered truthfully.
At first he suspected that it was a problem with the food, but when he saw that the breakfast was the same as usual, he gave up the idea.
As he spoke, Shen Xinglin's face turned redder and redder, and he lowered his head, trying to endure it.
Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly: "Go quickly, what are you waiting for?"
Could it be that he had to wait a while and then solve it on the spot?
As soon as Shen Xinglin left, Mr. Xue and Mr. Shen and their group arrived.
The moment he saw Shen Jingxuan, Mr. Shen asked anxiously: "Xuan'er, what happened?"
Just now, when he saw that Shen Jingxuan had not returned for a long time, he was worried and felt that something was going to happen.
Now that I finally saw her, I didn't see Shen Xinglin, and I couldn't let go of my worry.
Seeing Mr. Shen's anxious look, Shen Jingxuan had no choice but to tell him about Shen Xinglin.
Before he could ask further questions, he saw Shen Xinglin coming out again.
"Master, please show Lin'er." Shen Jingxuan pulled Mr. Xue to Shen Xinglin.
Mr. Xue glanced at Shen Jingxuan and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Now is not the time to scold Shen Jingxuan. He should check it out first. After the matter is resolved, he will look for an opportunity.
Shen Jingxuan didn't know that because of this incident, she would not only have to endure the scolding from the master for a long time in the future, but would also be forced by him to learn medical skills and do hard labor.
Seeing Elder Xue treating Shen Xinglin, Shen Jingxuan looked at Mrs. Hao and said, "Mother, is there anything left that Lin'er ate today?"
Thinking of Shen Xinglin's appearance, she couldn't help but wonder if someone had tampered with his breakfast.
"Yes, it's in the dining room," Mrs. Hao replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jingxuan walked towards the dining room, and Old Xu followed her and left.
When the two came back, Mr. Xue had already given Shen Xinglin the medicine. He was just waiting for Shen Jingxuan and the others to come back before sending Shen Xinglin to take the exam.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at Chuntao and ordered, "Chuntao, go call Li Yong and Yang Rui to lock up all the servants in Qinxin Garden. I will come back later to deal with them."
Just now, the second master checked all the breakfasts and told Shen Jingxuan that someone did it on purpose.
Shen Jingxuan didn't want to let go of anyone who could get in touch with Shen Xinglin.
Even if it was not their doing, we must scare them so that they will never dare to have such thoughts in the future.
After listening to Shen Jingxuan's arrangement, Mr. Shen knew that Shen Jingxuan and Mr. Xu must have found out the reason.
He did not ask immediately, but walked out with a group of people.
Seeing that Mr. Shen left first, Shen Jingxuan and Old Madam Shen looked at each other and then followed him.
After all this trouble, everyone who should have been happy to send Shen Xinglin to take the exam became particularly depressing.
Several carriages sped along and finally arrived when the gate of the examination room opened. Without having time to instruct Shen Xinglin, they urged him to enter the examination room quickly.
After watching Shen Xinglin go in with their own eyes, the group returned to the Duke Zhenguo Mansion and waited for the three days to be up before they came back to pick up Shen Xinglin.
After returning to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, everyone came to Qinxin Garden without any prior arrangement.
Mr. Shen sat down with a gloomy face, and next to him was Mrs. Shen who looked unhappy.
Elder Xue and Elder Xu sat opposite Elder Shen, and several elders sat next to Elder Xu.
Hao and Shen Jingxuan sat next to Old Madam Shen, quietly waiting for Old Master Shen to speak.
Although Mr. Shen was unhappy with Hao for hiding the matter, he couldn't bear to scold her when he thought about how Shen Jianan passed away early, leaving her alone to take care of the two children.
He had no choice but to suppress his displeasure and said, "Bring in all the servants of Qinxin Garden."
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had been poorly managed since Shen Jianan left, so he took this opportunity to conduct a thorough inspection to serve as a warning to other servants.
This is to prevent them from thinking that everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is kind and allowing them, the servants, to abuse their power.
