Chapter 139 Regret

The Duke's wife and Pei Jingchuan were both extremely surprised when they heard this. This aphrodisiac could actually recognize people! Thinking of Liu Rumeng, they instantly understood that Liu Rumeng really had big plans! She even wanted to control the Duke! She was really vicious!

Pei Jingchuan and the Duke's wife looked at each other, his eyes full of pleading. The Duke's wife felt that she had lost all face today.

However, she thought of Xu Qingyan's complaints. If the drug was so powerful, if another woman succeeded, the consequences would be really terrible. Even if it was another woman, what if she had any bad intentions in the future? What should she do? So, she had to do it herself!

Therefore, the Duke's wife had to put aside her reserve, dismissed everyone, and walked to the couch in the Duke of England's study. After a while, there was movement in the study.

Outside the house, Liu Rumeng was knocked unconscious, with blood all over her back.

Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan walked up to her, looked at her with disgust, and said, "Pour water on her to wake her up. As long as you don't kill her, keep beating her!"

Then, Liu Rumeng's screams began to sound again, just covering up the embarrassing sounds coming from the study.

In the study, the Duke of England and his wife had sex, and both felt particularly comfortable. He had never felt so compatible with his wife as he did today. He held his wife in his arms, and was reluctant to separate after they were done.

Although the Duke's wife still felt somewhat ashamed and angry in her heart, she was finally conquered by her husband and was now enjoying his embrace like a little woman.

The two of them temporarily forgot about what was happening outside the house, and only came out of the study when the sun went down.

Seeing that the Duke of England and his companions had not come out of the study, Pei Jingchuan and his companions had already tactfully retreated, leaving only someone behind to report the matter of Liu Rumeng.

Liu Rumeng was beaten half to death and a doctor was called in. She had to stay in bed for at least a month.

The Duchess's wife was so angry that she felt she had lost face in front of her son and daughter-in-law today, so she decided to vent her anger on Liu Rumeng.

Therefore, the Lady of the Duke ordered her servants to apply itching powder to Liu Rumeng every day during the month of her recuperation, so that she could feel the pain in bed.

So, for the next few days, howling sounds could be heard coming from Liu Rumeng's yard.

On the other hand, Pei Jingyuan didn't know that his mother had been tortured like this. Liu Rumeng didn't want to cause trouble for the time being, so she didn't send anyone to tell Pei Jingyuan.

Pei Jingyuan was inseparable from Zhao Shiwen and stayed overnight in her yard.

Xu Qingyue knew this, of course. She gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she had no choice. Now that Zhao Shiwen was a legitimate concubine, could she still stop her from sleeping with her? Besides, she felt that Pei Jingyuan had betrayed their love by sleeping with Zhao Shiwen. She had begun to dislike him for being dirty, and she didn't want him to touch her again.

But she also understood that now that she was married to Pei Jingyuan, she would have to rely on him for her whole life. So, after she fell into entanglement and distress, she didn't know what to do.

That day, Xu Qingyue felt upset, so she came to the plum forest of the Duke's Mansion to relax. She was followed by two maids, but she still felt lonely and was wondering whether she should compete with Zhao Shiwen for favor.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan sitting together fishing at the lake not far from Meilin. They were wearing the same color dresses, the man was handsome and noble, the woman was cute and lovely, and Xu Qingyan had a clear smile on her face. She was acting coquettishly towards Pei Jingchuan, and Pei Jingchuan pulled her back into his arms and rubbed her head.

"Bitch!" This scene deeply hurt Xu Qingyue's eyes, and she cursed at Xu Qingyan.

When she thought about her current relationship with Pei Jingyuan, and then compared it with Xu Qingyan and the young master, she felt extremely heartbroken.

You have to know that she and Pei Jingyuan got married because of love, and what about Xu Qingyan? She was a stranger who had never met the young master before? There was no emotional foundation between the two of them, but now she and the young master are so in love, and she has been demoted to a concubine!

"Auntie, let's go back!" Fang Dong, who was standing by, also saw this scene. She clearly felt the change in Xu Qingyue's mood. She was afraid that her master would do something else under impulse, so she quickly persuaded her softly.

But who would have thought that Xu Qingyue would scold her irritably, "Shut up!"

She still looked at Xu Qingyan with resentment and jealousy, and even had an incredible thought in her heart. She thought, if the marriage had not been exchanged, would she be the one being held in the arms of the young master and spoiled at this moment?

Although the young master was short-lived, he was loyal in love. During the one or two years when he was alive, she enjoyed his favor. After he died, she gave birth to a child to inherit the Duke's Mansion. Anyway, men would change their hearts in the end. As long as he was alive, wouldn't it be enough to enjoy his favor? What's more, the young master was a handsome man. If you look closely, he is much more handsome than Pei Jingyuan!

Suddenly, Xu Qingyue felt extremely regretful. How could she have been so blind at the beginning? However, she knew that it was useless to regret now. Thinking of how much the young master doted on Xu Qingyan, she was jealous to death.

"Why! The Duke's Mansion hates me because I don't have children, but Xu Qingyan has been so doted on by the young master and has not given birth to any children, and the Duke's Mansion doesn't seem to hate her?" Xu Qingyue sighed unwillingly.

As Xu Qingyue was talking, she suddenly thought: Wait, a child? Does the Duke's Mansion really not care about children? At the beginning, the Duke's Mansion married Pei Jingchuan, wasn't it hoping that when Pei Jingchuan passed away in the future, he would leave his bloodline in the Duke's Mansion?

Suddenly, Xu Qingyue's eyes lit up. Maybe the Duke's wife still naively believed that Xu Qingyan would be pregnant! If she let the Duke's wife know that Xu Qingyan really couldn't give birth, would the Duke's wife be anxious?

"Fang Dong, come here and help me do something..." Thinking of this, Xu Qingyue immediately hooked her finger at Fang Dong.

Fang Dong was horrified when she heard this. Sure enough, her aunt was thinking of something bad again.

A few days later, rumors spread in the capital that Xu Qingyan was unable to have children.

When the wife of the Duke was shopping with another lady, they were listening to an opera and drinking tea in a teahouse, and they heard the tea drinkers around them talking about something.

"Hey... have you heard that the Duke of Ying's mansion may be extinct in the future? Didn't they say before that the young master's health was not good and he would not live for more than two years, so he had to marry and leave an heir? Now I heard that the young master has been married for more than half a year, but the Crown Prince's wife's belly has not shown any signs of pregnancy. I heard that she grew up in the countryside and had a bad body, so she can't give birth!"

"Is this true? The Duke of Ying's Mansion is so rich, can't they cure it? I heard that at that time, the young master felt a little guilty and thought he was about to die, so he didn't want to delay those women, so he didn't take concubines. Now, he only married one wife, and she can't give birth, so why don't you hurry up and treat the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"I heard that this disease cannot be cured. The Crown Prince's wife grew up in the countryside, doing farm work, suffering from hunger and cold. Her body is too cold and she can no longer have children!"
