Chapter 90 Dispute
  Before Shen Xinyu could defend herself, the lady beside Wang Yurou agreed: "That's right. Although the eldest lady has good intentions, she can't handle accidents."
  "The blood is dripping on the ground, and it will drip on the paper if I can't keep the inscription."
  "Such a good painting is worthless if it's stained with blood. Miss, it's better to give the opportunity to others."
  "Let the second lady write the inscription by herself. The poem she just wrote is so good, she will definitely not disappoint."
  "Young lady, you might as well take a rest. We are all young ladies from the Grand Master's Mansion. No matter who you are, they are equally powerful."
  "..."
  Shen Xinyu calmed down a little and looked at the painting again.
  Whether it was a majestic landscape painting or a vivid painting of flowers and birds, she really couldn't think of a good poem to match it in a short period of time, and the descriptions that came to her mind were not enough to describe the scenery in the painting.
  Thinking about it this way, it seems that bleeding hands is not necessarily a bad thing.
  Shen Xinyu pretended to be sad and said: "I am also worried that the blood will drip on the paper and waste the second sister's hard work. Since everyone says so, let the second sister write the inscription."
  "How can this be done?" Shen Zhuoxi walked to Shen Xinyu, pulled her palm away, and said, "Let me take a look at my sister's injury."
  Before Shen Xinyu could take back her hand, Shen Zhuoxi spread it out in front of everyone.
  The marks on the palms pinched by the small tortoiseshell decorations on the nails are clearly visible.
  People who were close immediately said suspiciously: "Miss's injury seems to have been pinched out by her own nails!"
  "According to what the eldest lady said, the scar made by the branch should be a long one. Just this mark, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong!"
  "Could it be that the eldest lady was crushed because of the second lady's poetry, and she got angry and injured herself?"
  "The eldest lady has been the leader of the Mid-year Banquet for several times in a row, but she was suddenly snatched away by her younger sister. Thinking about it, I really can't swallow this breath."
  As they were talking, someone whispered: "Not only that, but I wonder if you have heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to announce his good relationship with the eldest lady today."
  "The banquet has been going on so far, and I haven't heard anything from His Highness. Could it be that because the eldest lady lost to the second lady, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to make an announcement?"
  "So, the eldest lady is so angry that she even endured injuries to her hands?"
  Theatergoers are not afraid of the height of the stage. Who makes Shen Xinyu love to be in the limelight and strive to be first in everything?
  Shen Xinyu was shocked. She glanced at the prince and defended with a pale face: "Everyone misunderstood. The injury was really caused by a branch. I didn't mean to hurt my hand."
  "Yes." Yu Qinglian couldn't help it anymore. She stepped forward and squeezed Shen Zhuoxi away. She covered Shen Xinyu's wound with a handkerchief again and said, "I can testify."
  "I was accompanying Xinyu to the backyard just now. She slipped and almost fell. Fortunately, she held on to a branch. Unexpectedly, her hand was broken. At that time, I said that I would ask a doctor to bandage it."
  "Xinyu is worried that it will affect the mid-year banquet. She said that a minor injury is fine. You know it will make everyone misunderstand. I won't listen to Xinyu no matter what."
  At this time, Princess Yuqin snorted coldly: "The eldest lady really thinks highly of me. Without you, the mid-year banquet may not be postponed?"
  "That's not what I meant." Shen Xinyu's face turned even paler and she defended, "I was worried that no one would be able to write an inscription in the Taishi Mansion."
  "Isn't the second lady doing better than you?" Princess Yuqin continued: "Without you, the Taishi Mansion will not be able to do anything, so you give the opportunity to the second lady."
  "Second Miss did a good job, but you feel unconvinced? Also, you didn't even want to ask the doctor to do it before. How can you be willing to let Second Miss write the inscription now? Don't you worry that you can't do it well?"
  "I..." Shen Xinyu's eyes were filled with tears, and she glanced at the prince again: "It's really not what Princess Yuqin said. I was just thinking about the rules set by His Highness the prince. There must be two young ladies in the house."
  "Now, everyone is worried about my hands, so they decided not to inscribe."
  "Ha." Princess Yuqin rolled her eyes, looked at Shen Xinjiao and said, "Aren't there still fourth and third young ladies in the house?"
  Princess Yuqin's father was a Qingyuan marquis and hereditary, but by her father's generation, he was already mainly engaged in business.
  At the mid-year banquet the year before last, Princess Yuqin failed to expose Shen Xinyu, but was refuted by Shen Xinyu and turned into a laughing stock. She still grudges her about it. Now that she finally got the chance, how can she not take revenge?
  "Your Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Xinyu saw that she had made up her mind and was messing around. She turned to Jingye and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, if you think you can change the rules, I will do anything."
  "Your hands..." The prince saw Shen Xinyu being laughed at by everyone. He felt very uncomfortable. He was worried and afraid that there was something wrong with her hands. He paused and said, "Do what you can."
  "If it's okay, go ahead and write the inscription. If it really hurts, ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at it. Let the other ladies in the house come and write the inscription."
  Shen Xinyu heard the prince's current intention, bit her lips, struggled for a while, and said: "Let the imperial doctor take a look. The imperial doctor said it's okay, and I will write the inscription."
  "There's no need to call the imperial doctor." Shen Zhuoxi took over and said, "I know a little bit about medical skills. My eldest sister's hand didn't hurt any bones, it was just a skin injury. Just give me some medicine when you get back."
  "Now wrap it up with a veil. It won't bleed anymore. There's no problem in writing."
  Princess Yuqin saw that the prince did not show any protection in his words, and became more courageous. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Miss, come here, I have a new veil."
  "I won't bother Princess Yuqin." Yu Qinglian frowned and said straightforwardly: "It's not a shame for Princess Yuqin to lose to Xinyu the year before last. It's so shameless to target her like this in public."
  "Qingyuan Hou is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, why does the princess go against his wishes and look like he cannot afford to lose?"
  Princess Yuqin was not a timid person and counterattacked: "It's not that I can't afford to lose, it's just that Shen Xinyu won with no force. I heard the maid next to her bribed the young eunuch to ask questions in advance."
  "Not only did no one believe me, but they also put such a big label on me. Now that she lost to Shen Zhuoxi, why didn't the eldest lady say anything?"
  Yu Qinglian smiled and said, "Princess Yuqin said she saw it with her own eyes, is there any evidence?"
  "Isn't the evidence that the eldest lady ordered him to be strangled?" Princess Yuqin sneered: "The maid next to Shen Xinyu is named Cuiyun."
  Yu Qinglian's face changed slightly and she said: "What nonsense are Princess Yuqin talking about? Cuiyun accidentally fell into the lake and drowned. Why did I order to be strangled?"
  "With our status, don't we know that there is something fishy in the backyard?" Princess Yuqin covered her mouth and sneered: "My servant fell into the water and died. Who can believe it? It was still the second day of the mid-year banquet, so hot Tian'er."
  "That's enough." Shen Heshan interrupted: "What's the point of arguing about this matter? He who takes it easy will be wiser. Let's look at the matter at hand. I can't trust Zhuo Xi's medical skills, so I'd better call the imperial doctor."
  Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said nothing.
  After the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Shen Xinyu would have no room for retreat.
