"Go to the front and call Zhenzhu over." Shen Xihe instructed the maid from the Shen Mansion.
Shen Xihe and Zhenzhu stayed in the Shen Mansion for a short while. All the maids recognized Zhenzhu and left immediately after receiving the order.
"Don't bother me, Princess. I'll take the cat away." Yu Sanning picked up the cat that had been bandaged by her and stood up.
"Let someone take a look at it. I also have a cat. If there is anything wrong with it, Pearl will take care of it. She is no worse than the veterinarian in the palace."
This was not an exaggeration by Shen Xihe. The notes left by the old man Bai Tou Weng also contained some rudimentary medical knowledge about animals. Although Shen Xihe's short life had not caused him to be sick much in the past year, Zhenzhu was still very concerned about him. She would set aside some time every day to study the subject. In her spare time, she would go out to find some abandoned cats to practice treating them, and she did develop some skills.
Shen Xihe actually didn't want to interfere too much in Yu Sangning's affairs, but Yu Sangning insisted on making trouble in the Shen Mansion. As the mistress of the family, she should step in to deal with such matters.
It would be best if Pearl couldn't save this cat, that would be the end of its life. Otherwise, if Yu Sangning took it away like this, it would be dead. Only if it died would Xiao Changfeng feel guilty, and at the very least, he would have to give Yu Sangning a cat as compensation.
This back and forth was enough for Yu Sangning, who was extremely scheming and good at taking advantage of opportunities, to gradually become familiar with Xiao Changfeng and attract his attention.
Shen Xihe did not intend to destroy her. Yu Sangning was of no concern to Shen Xihe, and she did not think that Yu Sangning's methods were despicable. She did not want to uphold justice. She just did what she should do as the host.
Zhenzhu came over quickly, checked the raccoon, and shook her head at Shen Xihe: "This raccoon has damaged its organs. It won't live long."
As soon as Zhenzhu finished speaking, a tear rolled down Yu Sangning's cheek, but she concealed it imperceptibly, as if she didn't want anyone to see her sadness.
Xiao Changfeng felt bad after hearing this: "Second Madam, it was my fault that I didn't take the matter seriously. Please accept my condolences. If you want any compensation, just let me know. I will do my best to get it for you."
After these words were spoken, Shen Xihe couldn't help but look at Xiao Changfeng again.
Logically speaking, nobles like them would not care about the life of a cat, let alone a human life. Xiao Changfeng did not even casually say that he would find another one to give to Yu Sangning, which shows that he knows in his heart that life is irreplaceable, cannot be abused, and cannot be neglected. Based on this alone, Xiao Changfeng's morality is higher than that of countless noble sons.
Shen Xihe could tell Xiao Changfeng's character from just one sentence. Yu Sangning was so thoughtful, how could she not know that he was a noble relative? She bowed gracefully, "Your Highness, please don't mind. It was my fault for not taking good care of it and disturbing you. Your Highness was also defending it. It was my negligence that caused it to suffer that great disaster, and it has nothing to do with you."
What a considerate, tolerant and generous girl!
Shen Xihe raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
Xiao Changfeng remained calm and said, "Thank you for your tolerance, Madam Second. Li Nu was indeed killed by me. No matter what, I should apologize."
What he meant was that Yu Sangning didn't mention anything, which made him feel uneasy.
