Chapter 33: Winning the Old Lady’s Favor
  Shen Heshan lost his father in his early years, and the old lady raised him alone. There were many places where orphans and widowed mothers were bullied, especially since the Shen family was a big family in the local area and there were many people in the clan.
  The mother and son have endured a lot of hardships, and as a mother, she is strong. Although the old lady has developed a strong and aggressive character, she also has a clear sense of grudges and can remember the kindness of whoever helped them.
  It wasn't until Shen Heshan met and married Princess Xiaoqing, and his career was on the rise, that the situation gradually improved.
  The old lady moved to Shengdu with Shen Heshan, and she was a loving old lady to avoid bringing bad luck to Shen Heshan. However, she was still very powerful in the house, and even Yu Qinglian could not get favor from her.
  The old lady hated Shen Zhuoxi before because she was stupid, reincarnated as a demon star, and had a bad reputation for the Taishi Mansion.
  Now Shen Zhuoxi saved her life and returned to normal. Although her tone was bad, her face was much calmer.
  Shen Zhuoxi kept his temper, pretended to be obedient, and stepped forward to stand beside the bed.
  "Sit down." The old lady looked at her up and down, her eyes fell on the scar on her cheek, and asked, "How did you do this?"
  Although Shen Jingya was teasing him to climb onto the prince's bed, it was an indisputable fact.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't hide anything and told the truth truthfully, saying: "I did something wrong and was beaten by the Grand Master's order. I accidentally left scars."
  The old lady did not blame him, but said: "You were crazy at that time, and you didn't even know what you were doing. It's understandable, but didn't your father give you an order not to allow you to go to Xiaoxiang Tower?"
  "How did you find the prince's residence and climb onto the prince's bed?"
  Finally someone understands!
  From the beginning of the incident, everyone thought that Shen Zhuoxi was a fool and called her shameless for being a member of the Taishi Mansion.
  No one paid attention to how she found the Prince's Mansion accurately and climbed onto the Prince's bed among so many rooms in the Prince's Mansion after being locked in the backyard of the Grand Master's Mansion for many years without ever leaving the door.
  Shen Zhuoxi was secretly happy in her heart, but she still didn't show it on her face. She shook her head and said, "After I wake up, I have some memory problems. I can't remember many things clearly. I forgot how I got out."
  "But I remember it was my third sister who came to tell me that after climbing into the prince's bed, I would no longer have to be locked up in the house and bullied..."
  The old lady immediately understood that it was Shen Jingya who was responsible!
  "It's getting more and more outrageous!" The old lady said angrily with a sullen face, "It's enough that you just don't follow the rules and are arrogant and domineering. Now I'm asking you to do something like this that will embarrass the Imperial Master's Palace!"
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't say anything.
  After the old lady calmed down, she looked at her again and said, "You are just right. How did you get your medical skills?"
  Shen Zhuoxi shook his head again: "I have read the medical books. When I saw you getting sick, I subconsciously wanted to follow the medical books."
  When Grandma Yuan heard this, she couldn't help but interjected: "You don't even know the words, where can you read medical books?"
  "Although I haven't gone to school like other brothers and sisters in these years, fortunately, Grandma Ju knows how to read. She is always trying to teach me when I have nothing to do in Xiaoxiang Tower." Shen Zhuoxi made up casually.
  "Moreover, my mother was interested in medical skills when she was still alive. There are still many medical books left by my mother during her lifetime in Xiaoxiang Tower. I can read them from there."
  The words are not entirely false.
  Aunt Ju did know how to read and taught her, but she was really stupid. She couldn't even remember the basic words after being taught by Aunt Ju over and over again.
  Princess Xiaoqing was born in a martial arts family. Both her father and mother practiced martial arts and often suffered injuries. Princess Xiaoqing wanted to study medicine since she was a child. When she grew up, she followed her father and mother to work as a military doctor in the military camp.
  Even though Hou Zhongyi and his wife were no longer there, she still retained the habit of reading medical books.
  But after getting married and having children, she seldom touched them again, and locked all the medical books in Xiaoxiang Tower. Later, Shen Zhuoxi was imprisoned, and she tore up and painted on those books, leaving very few left.
  A few days ago, when Shen Zhuoxi and Aunt Ju were packing their luggage to move to Qingfeng Building, they accidentally found a torn medical book and asked Aunt Ju to find out.
  This also provides a good reason for her to learn medical skills.
  However, this reason could only deceive the people in the Grand Master's Mansion, but not King Yu. As far as King Yu was concerned, the reason she gave was that she saved You Yi.
  Sure enough, the old lady did not have too many doubts and sighed: "Princess Xiaoqing did like to read medical books at the beginning, but since she gave birth to you, her thoughts have been all about you."
  "You were born prematurely and are in poor health. You have been sick and chirping since you were a child. She has taken a lot of trouble."
  Shen Zhuoxi lowered his eyes and said in a dull voice: "Yes, it's a pity that I failed my mother."
  If Princess Xiaoqing hadn't been preoccupied with her, would she have noticed the poison her mother-in-law had given her?
  "You are well now, and she is aware of it, so she must be happy." Seeing her depression, the old lady comforted her: "And you are as smart as her, and you can remember all the medical books you have read."
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said, "I will live a good life with my mother's expectations."
  "That's good." The old lady thought of something and asked again: "Has anyone told the Queen Mother about your recovery?"
  "Not yet." Shen Zhuoxi whispered: "It's just happened not long ago."
  "The Queen Mother loves your mother very much and takes good care of you. She also helped you put an end to the rumors of the demon star's reincarnation." The old lady paused and said with a smile, "Now that you're done, it's time to go to the palace in person to express your gratitude."
  Shen Zhuoxi responded obediently: "Yes."
  "Thank you very much for today." The old lady thought for a while and then said: "If you have nothing to do in the future, come to Jing'an Garden to stay with my old lady more often."
  Shen Zhuoxi remained obedient: "Yes."
  The old lady had nothing to say and said, "You are tired after coming back from outside. Go and rest first."
  When Shen Zhuoxi went out, Aunt Yuan asked in confusion: "It's not that you don't like the second young lady, why do you still talk to her so much?"
  "She finally brought me back from hell." The old lady still remembered the words of the imperial doctor just now, and sighed: "Besides, I used to hate her because she was the reincarnation of a demon star, and she was stupid and foolish. She was an abandoned child."
  "Now that she has recovered, the Queen Mother will definitely express her feelings..."
  Aunt Yuan nodded with understanding and said: "It's hard for Miss Second, ten years have passed and we still have this fate."
  The old lady thought of something and warned again: "Go to the Grand Master's room later and ask him to come over."
  After leaving Jing'an Garden, Hui Zhi saw that there was no one around and whispered: "You were trying to hide it from everyone before, but now you can't hide it anymore."
  "Who knew that I would encounter the old lady suffering from heat stroke." Shen Zhuoxi curled his lips: "However, it is still a surprise. After this incident, the old lady will not make things difficult for me."
  "There is no need for me to deliberately create opportunities to make friends with the old lady."
  Huizhi thought of the scene in the house just now and couldn't help but worry: "Old lady, everything is fine over there, but others obviously don't want you to be well. You didn't pay attention to how the lady looked after knowing that you had recovered."
  "Everyone outside said she was kind and virtuous, but at that moment, her expression was too ferocious. Others were watching you arguing with the Grand Master, and I happened to see it."
  "It would be nice if I could piss her off to death." Shen Zhuoxi laughed and said, "In the future, I will peel off her hypocritical mask layer by layer!"
