Chapter 981: 969 Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character (3) Second Update

Ye Shaohua was only there to look, and if she could get in, that would be great.

If she couldn’t, it wouldn’t surprise her.

She could feel that after taking over this body, she possessed an incredibly strong force; although the original host wasn’t a proper Young Lady from a wealthy family, she had never done any heavy work since childhood.

She had hardly even exercised.

But after Ye Shaohua took over this body, she clearly felt that her five senses were extremely sharp, even her body refined through life-and-death experiences in the modern world couldn’t compare with the responses of this body.

Now, she could hear the voices of two maids cursing her from the courtyard through the yard gate and the door of a room, as if they were right by her ear.

And then there was Song Shuyun, lying on the bed with barely any signs of life, his breath so weak.

It seemed that his injury was a bit tricky.

When Ye Shaohua realized this, she took a deep breath.

She instinctively searched her brain for a plan to save Song Shuyun.

There was a particularly complex acupuncture method, but it required the pairing of one’s own Internal Strength and had specific requirements for the patient’s physical condition.

Ye Shaohua silently made a note of it.

The wet nurse wouldn’t let her in, so Ye Shaohua turned around and headed to the front hall to find Lord Song and the Old Lady.

The Song Family was a major Merchant family in the Imperial City, with business partnerships even with the imperial merchants.

Although the Song Family had a heritage of several generations, Song Shuyun’s father did not have a talent for business; he had almost ruined the family’s fortune by donating money for an official title.

Luckily, his incompetence was compensated by his son’s competence; his business acumen was no less than that of his ancestors.

Business deals lost under Lord Song’s hands were steadily reclaimed by Song Shuyun one by one.

The Song Family’s business grew larger, and Song Shuyun often went away for months at a time; although the original host was married to Song Shuyun, she had barely met with him properly more than five times.

Currently, Song Shuyun was paralyzed and unconscious.

Countless renowned doctors from the Imperial City had seen him, yet they hadn’t managed to cure him, and the news of the Young Master of the Song Family being paralyzed and unconscious spread throughout the Imperial City.

Not only was the Song Family’s business in disarray, but others also took this opportunity to make their moves.

Even the managers of several of the Song Family’s large shops in the Imperial City were having second thoughts.

When Ye Shaohua was on her way to the front yard, she overheard a manager in the room talking to Lord Song, "My Lord, I have my aged parents above and young children below..."

"Manager Lin," when Lord Song heard Manager Lin’s words, he finally said with no strength left, "You have been with our Song Family for twenty years, forget it, if you want to leave, then leave."

In the end, Lord Song didn’t say anything to retain him, and Manager Lin bowed to Lord Song and then left.

As he walked out, he happened to see Ye Shaohua.

The Song Family didn’t have many female members; Manager Lin had come and gone from the Song Family several times, so Ye Shaohua’s face was unfamiliar to him.

However, he wasn’t foolish; he could guess who the woman before him was. Naturally, he would not look directly at a woman from the family’s private quarters, but when he caught a glimpse of Ye Shaohua out of the corner of his eye, he frowned subconsciously.

After Manager Lin walked away, Ye Shaohua didn’t hurry to see Lord Song.

Instead, she stood still, her sharp sense of hearing allowing her to listen to Manager Lin whispering quietly with the other managers who had left the door.

"Manager Lin, you’ve stayed with the master for twenty years, how can you just leave like this..."

"There’s no one around, so I’ll let you in on something," Manager Lin replied in a low voice, "This morning, when I saw the price at which the Nanjing people were buying rice, I knew something was off. I paid a hefty price to listen in; it so happens my nephew watches the back door at the Third Prince’s estate. Guess what, the one who is against the Song Family is the Third Prince himself! I’ll give you a piece of advice, if you have a chance to leave the Song Family, do it quickly; this place is not for staying."

Before Song Shuyun came along, although the Lord Song was not astute, the Song Family managed to get by.

But right now, life is of the utmost importance. Who doesn’t know that the Third Prince is highly favored by the Emperor, and those people notated in the Third Prince’s account books wouldn’t dare remain even if they were given several lives.

"How did it come to this point, the Third Prince..." The listeners were shocked.

Manager Lin looked around to make sure no one was nearby and then whispered very softly, "this you must not know, the Young Grandmother of the house publicly berated Miss Su Junling on the street. You must be aware of it. That Miss Su Junling is a renowned talented lady from Jiangnan, rumored in the alleys to be the confidante of the Third Prince..."

Ye Shaohua heard this and then walked into the hall.

The original owner of the body was completely fixated on Ning Zhao and didn’t know much about the world.

She had even less of an impression of court politics.

Yet, from the few words of Manager Lin, Ye Shaohua gathered some information and felt slightly heavy-hearted.

It appears that the one covertly targeting the Song Family must be the Third Prince.

To stand out among the princes and ascend to that position, one needs backing, and more importantly, financial support. The Song Family, it seems, had caught the Third Prince’s eye.

Ye Shaohua took one step at a time as she moved deeper into the hall.

Lord Song, who was talking to the old madam with a distressed face, changed his expression when he saw Ye Shaohua, "Why are you still here?"

But perhaps realizing that he had let something slip in his words, Lord Song didn’t continue and just looked at Ye Shaohua with a somewhat cold expression.

When Ye Shaohua was still with the Ye Family, she was considered a Young Lady, carrying items given by the Emperor himself.

She was also considered knowledgeable and reasonable.

When she first married into the Song Family, the old madam quite liked this granddaughter-in-law, but now that her eldest grandson had become like this, the old madam closed her eyes, not wanting to take another look at Ye Shaohua.

"Father, I’d like to see how Song... Shuyun’s injury is," Ye Shaohua bowed to the two of them and spoke directly.

She was never the type to beat around the bush.

Before Lord Song could say anything, the old madam stood up immediately, "You want to see Shuyun? See what? To see if he’s dead yet? I truly regret why I gave in and allowed our Song Family to marry you, you’ve ruined my grandson’s life!"

As she spoke, she stood up and began to hit Ye Shaohua with her cane.

Ye Shaohua didn’t avoid it and bore the brunt of her fury.

Although the old madam was aged, she still had some strength, and it was autumn now, so the clothes were not very thick and were not yet lined with cotton, making the blows naturally painful.

However, Shaohua’s eyebrows did not even crease.

She simply repeated, "I want to see his injury."

The old madam raised her cane to strike her again, but at this moment, a servant entered from outside, excitedly saying, "Old Master, Old Madam, the Young Lady from outside has arrived! She’s on her way to see the Young Master now!"

"Junjun is here?" The old madam immediately forgot about Ye Shaohua, hastily instructing the maids around her to support her as she left.

Even Lord Song’s gaze brightened as he followed the old madam towards the door.

Ye Shaohua searched her mind but could not find any information about the Song Family’s Young Lady from outside.

Following the people from the residence out of the main hall, she headed towards Song Shuyun’s quarters.

Arriving at Song Shuyun’s door, she happened to see a young girl dressed in a white skirt standing at the entrance of the courtyard; Song Shuyun’s nursemaid was speaking to the girl both warmly and respectfully.

Compared to her previous icy attitude towards Ye Shaohua, it was like she was dealing with two different people.
