Chapter 17 Don’t die of illness
Shen Yubai was afraid that he would be soft-hearted for a moment, but he still couldn't help turning his head and looking towards the light screen.

Mother Shen felt suspicious for a moment when she saw that Shen Yuexi was so ill and didn't seem to be able to get out of bed and rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Of course, it was impossible for Mother Shen to suspect her precious daughter Yuerong, and she thought that maybe some wild child had sneaked into the house.

But Mother Shen couldn't save face, so she couldn't apologize to Shen Yuexi.

Outside the room, Shen's mother called Shen Yubai.

"Son." She fumbled in her sleeves a few times, took out some money, and handed it to Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai didn't understand what he meant: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Mother Shen pursed her lips and explained reluctantly: "Go and buy some medicine for that dead girl. Don't really die of illness by then. If word spreads, others will laugh at our Shen family."

Young Shen Yubai seemed unhappy when he heard this, and turned a little disgusted with Shen Yuerong's considerate expression.

"How could she die so easily if she was so lucky!"

Even so, Shen Yubai still accepted the money with a cold face, "Since mother told me, Yubai will do it. I hope she can remember mother's kindness and not do those treasonous things in the future."

Mother Shen saw that her other two children were so obedient and sensible. The face that was roughened by the sun and wind due to years of farm work showed a happy smile.

"It would be nice if Shen Yuexi could let us worry less."

Shen Yubai nodded noncommittally, his expression obviously showing a bit of disdain. He didn't think Shen Yuexi would change.

Without the constraint of kinship, he might have kicked Shen Yuexi out of the house long ago.

At this point in the picture, Lin Yang inadvertently glanced at Shen Yu's white fingertips curled up beside him, her expression seemed flustered, as if she had remembered something and was gradually feeling embarrassed.

Lin Yang secretly thought, could it be that Senior Brother Shen did something at that time that caused an accident when buying medicine?
Lin Yang just made a guess and didn't dare to ask Shen Yubai for fear of embarrassing him.

He was thinking about his senior brother's face, but the light curtain obviously didn't care about anyone's thoughts and just fed everything back to everyone truthfully.

When Shen's mother was explaining to Shen Yubai, Shen Yuerong was also listening.

When Shen Yubai was about to go out, she also opened her legs and followed Shen Yubai with a bound.

"Yue Rong, what's wrong?"

Shen Yubai raised his hand and rubbed Shen Yuerong's head with a gentle tone, like the warm spring breeze blowing.

Shen Yuerong laughed playfully, grabbed Shen Yubai's sleeves and said coquettishly, "Brother~ Yuerong also wants to eat delicious pastries, but my sister stole the ones my parents bought."

She pouted, pretending to be pitiful.

Shen Yubai suddenly felt soft.

Thinking of Shen Yuexi who was seriously ill, he hesitated: "Yuerong, this money is going to be used to buy medicine for Shen Yuexi."

Shen Yuerong's face fell, her eyebrows lowered, looking aggrieved, "Brother, you haven't bought Yuerong delicious food for a long time."

After a pause, she raised her face again and said innocently, "Besides, sister can get up and find food at home to eat. Why can't she even get out of bed now? Is she pretending to be sick?"

"I heard from my friends who played with me that they sometimes pretend to be sick if they want something from their parents."

"But Yuerong feels that this is deceiving her parents, and she has never done this before!"

After a few words, Shen Yuerong took the blame for Shen Yuexi and set up a well-behaved and sensible persona for herself.

As soon as Shen Yubai heard Shen Yuerong's words, she became more and more hesitant, and suspicion flashed in her eyes. Could it be that that girl Shen Yuexi was pretending to be ill?This seed of doubt was planted in Shen Yubai's heart and soon took root and sprouted.

Looking into Yue Rong's pure eyes, he could not doubt what she said.

Shen Yubai still had the last bit of persistence in his heart.

"Brother, you don't love me anymore. Is it because I went to Master Li's house and you don't want me as your sister anymore?"

Shen Yuerong said as she sadly threw away Shen Yubai's long sleeves, pursed her lips and ran away.

"Okay, okay, Yuerong, don't be like this. My brother will just buy it for you. Take the money and buy whatever you want to eat, okay?"

Shen Yubai immediately gave up her resistance, stepped forward to make Shen Yuerong happy, and gave her the money without hesitation.

Shen Yuerong grabbed the money and immediately laughed happily, hugging Shen Yubai's neck and acting coquettishly, "Brother is the best to me!"

After kissing him on the cheek, Shen Yuerong ran away happily.

"This is nonsense!"

Immediately, an older medicine cultivator scolded, "If Chen Yuexi's vitality hadn't been strong enough, he might have died by now!"

"It's just that Shen Yuerong is confused, why can't even you understand the priorities of things?"

Shen Yubai has always been a proud man outside, and has always given people the impression of being mature and steady. The elders are also very tolerant of him, but they can't help but feel disappointed when they see everything in the light curtain.

Shen Yubai knew that this was indeed his fault at that time, but he still couldn't help but defend Yue Rong: "It's my fault, but Yue Rong didn't just think about herself. Later, she personally took care of herself." The pharmacist came back to treat Shen Yuexi."

"It's just that Tian Yaoshi said it himself. Shen Yuexi only looked seriously ill on the surface and was not seriously injured. If she was really seriously ill and died at that time, how could she do evil now?"

Seeing that Shen Yubai was still stubborn, the elder medicine cultivator sighed sadly, "The pharmacist you are talking about is the one who has appeared several times before. With his character, do you think what he said is credible? You Just stick to your ridiculous persistence."

The folding fan in Shen Yubai's hand was unsteady and almost fell to the ground.

The scene Shen Yubai mentioned soon appeared on the light screen.

Shen Yuerong appeared at home with the "Tian Yaoshi" whom Shen Yubai mentioned before.

The pharmacist only glanced at Shen Yuexi, then stroked his beard and said, "Her body is not seriously injured. She can just take some care. Why can't she get out of bed?"

He looked confused, as if he was suffering from some incurable disease.

Shen Yubai, who was brainwashed by Shen Yuerong, was even more certain that Shen Yuexi was deliberately pretending to be ill in order to escape guilt and punishment.

"Thankfully, mother asked me to get medicine for you. I didn't expect you to be so scheming. It's really disappointing!"

Shen Yubai put aside these words and turned around to leave in disappointment.

Shen Yuexi, who was very weak on the bed, opened her mouth. At such a young age, she had learned to smile bitterly.

The scene follows the pharmacist to the path outside the door, and Shen Yuerong appears again behind him.

"You are really cruel to your sister. Are you really not afraid that she will die without treatment?"

Little Shen Yuerong's expression is mature. She doesn't look like a child, but like a cunning person like a pharmacist.

"How can she die so easily? Didn't you also say that she won't die in a while? Hehe, why don't you buy her and your brother together!"
