chapter 4 An Insult to Intelligence

"Follow the rules." With a gloomy face, Old Master Shen threw out this sentence and then went upstairs. Everyone else also left one after another.

When Shi Wan passed by the Second Madam, she gave her a meaningful look, which made the Second Madam tremble with anger!

Damn Shi Wan! How dare she look at her like that!

"I really didn't expect that the old master would just let it go like this."

Back in the room, Shi Wan reclined lazily on the sofa, crossing one leg, and said indolently.

Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly but he didn't say a word.

"Is Old Master Shen worried that if he pursues this further, it will make a big fuss? Or is he worried that someone will deal a heavy blow to you?"

"Since you already know, why bother asking?"

Shi Wan clicked her tongue. She didn't understand why he wanted to hide his feelings. Just now in the front hall, she clearly felt the killing intent from him.

If he weren't sick, probably no one in the Shen family could match him.

But she wasn't interested in delving into it. Glancing at the time, she sat up.

"Second Young Master, take off your clothes."

Shen Siyan's expression paused slightly. The moment the woman reached out to take off his clothes, he quickly grabbed her hand.

"Don't be so touchy. I'll do it myself."

Shi Wan pursed her lips. Her eyes swept over his attractive abs and she gasped inwardly. "Second Young Master, you should keep exercising. Otherwise, it would be a pity..."

Shen Siyan gave her a cold look and picked up his clothes to cover himself. "Don't you know what shame is? Staring at a man nakedly..."

"Is it against the law to look at my husband?"

As Shi Wan inserted the needle, the man couldn't help but let out a muffled groan in pain.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

She smiled faintly but didn't say a word. Just as she was about to insert the second needle, there was a knock on the door.

"Siyan..."

The door wasn't locked. The Second Madam pushed the door open and walked in without hesitation. But when she saw the ambiguous postures of the two, she stood still on the spot.

The moment he heard the voice, Shen Siyan's eyes sharpened. He reached out his big hand to clasp her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. Caught off guard, Shi Wan was pulled over. As she fell, her red lips accidentally brushed against his thin lips. The soft touch sent a tiny electric current between them.

Shi Wan was stunned. Her small face, rarely, was tinged with a touch of pink. She shifted her gaze away in a bit of panic and pretended to be calm as she looked at the person who came in.

"You two..."

"Second Aunt, don't you know how to knock before you come in?" Shi Wan wrapped her arms around Shen Siyan's neck affectionately. There was no trace of shyness on her face.

The Second Madam's face turned ugly. "It's my fault. But Shi Wan, Siyan is not in good health. You still need to be more careful."

She had thought that Shen Siyan wouldn't accept this woman from the countryside. But unexpectedly, they had already gotten so close in just one day...

If that was the case, what if Shi Wan had an heir? Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

No, this must not be allowed to happen!

Shi Wan: "..."

How thick - skinned! After being given the cold - shoulder treatment, she still managed to stay and say a few words?

As soon as the person left, Shen Siyan directly pushed her away. His expression was cold, just like a heartless man who left after getting what he wanted.

Seeing this, Shi Wan couldn't help but purse her lips. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't let the Second Madam know that he was being treated, she would have kicked him long ago!

...

Early the next morning, Shi Wan's phone on the bedside table buzzed. She picked it up, glanced at it, sat up and answered the call.

"Boss, someone is willing to pay ten million for the T - 1 drug. What do you think? Should we..."

"What's it for?"

She threw off the quilt, walked to the floor - to - ceiling window, and raised her hand to block the blinding sunlight. Shen Siyan had gone out early in the morning. She was the only one in the room.

"I don't know the purpose."

"Tell him to go to hell. I won't sell it."

After saying that, she hung up the phone directly. Her clear and bright beautiful eyes squinted slightly. T - 1 was a chronic and highly toxic drug. Generally, people used it to harm others. Moreover, what Aunt Zhou put in Shen Siyan's medicine yesterday was this very thing.

No one but her could cure the poisoning of this drug. So as long as someone bought it, she would have people mark the destination and purpose of the drug.

The medicine from yesterday had been taken by her. Now that person wanted to buy it again. She seriously suspected that this person was trying to kill Shen Siyan?

Using her medicine to harm her "power bank"?

In their dreams!

"Madam."

After she finished tidying up and went downstairs, the maid standing beside her bent down respectfully. But only upon closer inspection could one notice the disdain in her eyes.

"Go and bring the breakfast up."

The maid nodded and turned into the kitchen. However, when the breakfast was placed in front of her, it was cold.

A cold glint flashed across her eyes. "Is the Shen family short of electricity bills?"

The maid was stunned. "No. The breakfast has always been like this. The Second Madam said that it's best for the young master to eat cold food because of his illness."

Shi Wan: "..."

Even though Shen Siyan was doted on by Old Master Shen, he still had a tough life. Poor thing.

"Go and heat up the food and then bring it up."

The maid looked extremely embarrassed. "Madam, the Second Madam said..."

"The Second Madam said, the Second Madam said. Why don't you just go and serve the Second Madam directly?" There was full impatience in Shi Wan's eyes. "I'll say it one more time. Go and heat up the breakfast and then bring it up."

"This..."

"Madam sure has a big airs!"

At the door, the Second Madam's sarcastic voice came. She wiggled her body and walked up to Shi Wan.

Glancing at the things on the table, there was full of ridicule in the Second Madam's eyes. "I gave this order. Cold food is good for Siyan's health. As his wife, you should naturally accommodate a bit."

Thinking of what happened yesterday, her anger welled up!

Although the old master didn't say anything on the surface, he had withdrawn her right to manage several companies. Others also sneered at her when they found out.

Shi Wan's slender and fair fingers gently tapped on the table. She raised her eyes. "Is Second Aunt a medical professional?"

The Second Madam was stunned. "No."

"Then why are you saying such words that insult my intelligence?" She said coldly, "Is your brain capacity less than 200?"

"Shi Wan, how can you talk like that?!"

Although she didn't understand what Shi Wan was saying, she was sure that she was scolding her!

"I'm just telling the truth."

"You!" The Second Madam was extremely angry. "You're simply being presumptuous!"

"I'll take this as a compliment." Shi Wan glanced at the maid standing still on the spot. "Do I need to invite you to go?"

"Yes, Madam."

The maid quickly nodded. Shi Wan's look made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Cold sweat soaked through her back. She didn't dare to disobey her words.

"Don't go!" The Second Madam blocked her and scolded, "Shi Wan, what can't you get used to as a person from the countryside? Even Shen Siyan has to obediently listen to me here. How dare you go against me?!"

"Bang - "

Shi Wan propped her hands on the table and leaned closer to her, whispering, "Do you think Grandpa is just a decoration? Or do you want to taste the taste of T - 1?"

Shen Siyan was her "power bank" now. Whoever dared to touch him was courting death!

"You!"

The Second Madam's face changed drastically. But in an instant, her eyes were full of shock. How did she know it was T - 1?

That was a rare poison. If one didn't deliberately inquire, outsiders would never know.

Who on earth was she?

Shi Wan was too lazy to watch her act. "Don't make another move against Shen Siyan. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

The Second Madam was so angry that she trembled, but she couldn't really do anything. If she angered the old master again, she was afraid that she would never have a good life again.

"You're really something!"

In the Shen family, if she couldn't act openly, couldn't she act secretly?

The old master didn't have many years to live. She was being arrogant now. When the time came, she would make her life a living hell!

As soon as the Second Madam left, Shi Wan looked at the maid and said, "You know whose courtyard this is. If you dare to do this again, no one can save you."

"Yes, Madam."
