Chapter 427 Wanting to impose a crime
Chapter 427 Wanting to impose a crime
In the afternoon, Shen Zhuang learned that Jiang Huashan was bitten by insects, and immediately asked the manager in charge of the garden to clean up the chrysanthemum garden from top to bottom.
Doctor Meng came twice, but Jiang Huashan was either taking a shower or going to the toilet. Finally, he had no choice but to prescribe some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ointment based on Zhang Ru's oral instructions.
In the evening, Shen Lanxi brought gifts to visit, but was told that Jiang Huashan had just changed her medicine and was not feeling well and was not convenient to see guests.
Shen Lanxi observed etiquette and did not suspect anything. She left the gift and did not disturb him.
The next day, he deliberately chose to visit Jiang Huashan when she was free, but she still refused him entry on the grounds that it was inconvenient for her to meet.
Shen Lanxi still said nothing and turned back to the Orchid Garden.
Gao Zhi looked at the rookie who had returned disappointed twice, with a blank expression on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.
Should!
You're not good at it and you don't listen to advice, you deserve it!
Shen Lanxi walked into the study with a calm expression and sat on the couch reading as usual.
He lowered his eyelids and stroked the book with his fingertips. After about ten minutes, his eyes were still fixed on the first line of words.
After a long silence, Shen Lanxi closed the book and looked up at Gao Zhi who was lying on the windowsill.
"Why did she suddenly disappear from my life? Wasn't she fine before?"
Gao Zhi crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways, "Master, you ask me?"
Shen Lanxi's eyes darkened.
Gao Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately jumped off the windowsill and climbed onto the couch to sit opposite Shen Lanxi.
"Master, you asked a good question. Everything was fine before, so why did it suddenly disappear? Of course, someone must have sowed discord between them!"
Shen Lanxi frowned, looking unconvinced. "Shen Guiling? He shouldn't be so serious as to engage in a gentlemanly dispute."
"..."
Gao Zhi's eyes widened, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke, and his face was filled with an expression of eccentricity. "A gentleman's argument? Master, do you like Miss Jiang or not? Or do you simply not know what love is?"
Shen Lanxi thought for a moment, looked up at Gao Zhi, and did not respond.
Gao Zhi coughed lightly, took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, pretending to be profound. "Young Master, if someone dared to covet what the master left you, would you still continue to uphold your gentlemanly ways? If your liking for Miss Jiang is a gentlemanly way, then perhaps you have misunderstood your own feelings."
Shen Lanxi remained silent.
Gao Zhi lowered his sunglasses with his index finger, his eyes meaningful, "You don't really like Miss Jiang that much."
Shen Lanxi, "Get out."
Gao Zhi was stunned. Why did he suddenly chase people away when he was just talking?
Shen Lanxi opened the book again, exuding a cold and indifferent attitude that kept strangers away.
Gao Zhi was a little confused, but he knew Shen Lanxi's character and didn't dare to provoke her again. He restrained his expression and carefully left the study.
After leaving the room, he was still frightened and quietly hid under the osmanthus tree to secretly observe Shen Lanxi.
No, which sentence was wrong?

The construction of the side gate of Juyuan finally started. The craftsmen were busy knocking down the walls and building the walls.
Jiang Huashan sat in front of the dressing table, listening to the noise outside the window, and carefully applied medicine to her neck.
Being kissed so hard that I have to apply medicine every day, this experience is really unique.
Zhang Ru was unhappy that she didn't let Dr. Meng into the room. She was afraid that she would leave scars due to negligence, so she watched her change the medicine every day. In order not to be discovered, she could only apply the medicine before Zhang Ru intervened.
She had originally wanted to wrap a bandage around her neck and go for a walk in the garden, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to give up.
Downstairs, Zhang Ru was holding the freshly washed quilt in the yard to dry in the sun. Although Juyuan had a special laundry room, she would always dry all the sheets in the yard when the sun was good. This often reminded Jiang Huashan of her grandmother in Huaicheng.
Zhang Ru had just finished the work at hand and ran into the kitchen to get a bowl of iced mung bean dumplings. Just as she was about to go upstairs, Shen Zhi pushed the door open and walked in.
"Butler Shen."
Zhang Ru did not dare to be negligent and walked forward to greet him with a porcelain bowl in her hand.
Shen Zhi glanced towards the embroidery building and asked, "How is Miss Jiang's neck?"
Jiang Huashan had been eating and sleeping properly these past few days, and hadn't complained about itching. Zhang Ru thought it was fine, so she smiled and replied, "Doctor Meng prescribed some medicine, so it's nothing."
Shen Zhi nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "In that case, please come with me."
Zhang Ru noticed that Shen Zhi's face was not right, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Butler Shen, what happened?"
Shen Zhi didn't want to say more, "Don't alarm Miss Jiang yet, wait until there's a result."
Zhang Ru didn't dare to ask any more questions. She stared at the mung bean ice cream in her hand and said, "Please wait a moment." Then she turned and went up to the embroidery building.
Jiang Huashan had already heard the noise downstairs. When Zhang Ru pushed the door in, she lowered her head to tidy her hair and pretended to be applying the medicine seriously.
"Miss, I'm going out with Butler Shen for a while. I'll take you out for a walk when I come back."
Jiang Huashan nodded, and Zhang Ru put down the mung bean ice cream in her hand and turned to leave the room.
When the sound of the door being locked was heard, Jiang Huashan immediately stopped what she was doing and picked up the bandage on the table with one hand.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ru did not come back, and Shen Zhi came to her house again, saying that the old man asked her to go to the front hall to chat. Because Jiang Huashan was not able to move around easily, Shen Zhi stayed in Juyuan to help.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the hospital, they bumped into Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi's gaze lingered on Jiang Huashan's neck for a moment before she looked directly at Shen Zhi, "Going to Qin Garden?"
Shen Zhi bowed his head respectfully, "Yes."
Shen Lanxi took a step forward and walked to Jiang Huashan's side very naturally. "I just happened to need something from Grandpa. Let's go together."
Jiang Huashan leaned lazily against the wheelchair, "Yeah."
Shen Zhi lowered his eyes, nodded, and continued to push the wheelchair.
Qin Garden was as usual. Shen Zhuang was enjoying the cool breeze in the flower hall. He saw Shen Lanxi and Jiang Huashan from afar and stood up with the help of his cane. "Lan Xi is here too?"
Shen Lanxi, "Grandpa."
Shen Zhuang pointed to the armchair beside him and said, "Sit down."
After Shen Lanxi took her seat, Shen Zhuang waved to Jiang Huashan again, and Shen Zhi pushed the wheelchair and sent her to Shen Zhuang.
Shen Zhuang stared at her neck with a serious expression, "Didn't you say it wasn't serious? Why is it tied like this? Untie it and let Grandpa see."
Jiang Huashan's eyelids twitched, "Grandpa! The medicine I just applied has lost its effect once it's removed."
Shen Zhuang frowned and said, "Call Dr. Meng over."
"Hey hey!" Jiang Huashan waved her hands and quickly explained, "Grandpa, it's really not serious. I'm... I'm worried about the melanin buildup in the area where I was bitten, so I wrapped myself in sunscreen."
Sunscreen?
Although Shen Zhuang didn't understand the little girl's thoughts, he showed respect and nodded, "I'm glad you're okay."
Jiang Huashan chuckled, "Grandpa, what's the matter with you calling me here?"
Shen Zhuang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It's like this. Grandpa plans to find a new manager for your yard. After all, Xiao Zhang has taken care of you for so many years, so Grandpa wanted to ask for your opinion."
The smile on Jiang Huashan's face froze instantly. "Why did you suddenly change people? Did Aunt Zhang do something wrong?"
Shen Zhuang's expression was solemn, his eyes were thoughtful, and he did not respond for a while.
Jiang Huashan turned to look at Shen Zhi, "She left with you, Butler Shen, at noon. What did you do to her?"
Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then explained in a gentle voice, "Miss Jiang, you misunderstood. I didn't do anything to Xiao Zhang. Shen Garden has its own rules, and I'm just following them."
"What rules?"
Shen Zhi looked up at Shen Zhuang and saw that there was nothing wrong with his expression, so he continued, "Miss Jiang, Shen Garden is the root of the Shen family. Anyone who works here must be clean, regardless of their family background or their hands and feet. Otherwise, if someone catches them, the Shen family will also be implicated."
"Mr. Sun has already fallen out with the Zhou, Qiao, and Guan families over the proposal, and someone has already extended their influence into Shen Garden. We've been secretly investigating recently and discovered that many people in the garden have taken bribes and sold information about Shen Garden. To eliminate future trouble, these people must be removed."
Jiang Huashan looked incredulous, "You mean, Aunt Zhang accepted favors from others and betrayed the Shen family?"
