Chapter 24 Concubine

Xu Qingyan said to Danyan and Ziyan in a hurry: "I am going to look for the young master now. You guys hurry up and prepare the carriage. If I don't go now, the young master will become someone else's husband!"

"What? Someone else's husband?" Dan Yan was so frightened when she heard Xu Qingyan's words.

At this time, Zi Yan beside her also looked at Xu Qingyan nervously and said, "Madam, I will go with you!"

The Crown Prince's wife is so kind and easy to talk to, and she treats them, the servants, very kindly. They don't want to change the mistress.

The night was as dark as ink, and Xu Qingyan sat in a carriage heading towards the palace.

At this time, Pei Jingchuan was guarding outside the Imperial Hospital, while the imperial doctors were inside treating the woman who had blocked the wood for them yesterday.

Pei Jingchuan was very grateful to the woman who saved him. He thought to himself: If this woman hadn't pushed me away, I would probably be the one lying in there being treated by the imperial physician.

At this time, the servant beside Pei Jingchuan came over and said, "My lord, someone has come to tell me that the wife of the prince is here to see you, and she is now at the palace gate."

"Qingyan, why is she here? What's the matter?" Pei Jingchuan showed a look of surprise when he heard Xu Qingyan coming to see him.

"I don't know either. The prince's wife only said that she wanted to see you. Young master, do you want to let the lady in?" the servant asked with a bow.

Pei Jingchuan frowned slightly and said, "I don't know why Qingyan came to see me. I'd better go see her in person."

Then Pei Jingchuan walked down the stairs and strode towards the palace gate.

At this time, Xu Qingyan was standing at the palace gate. She was wearing a frosty cloak, her long hair fluttering in the wind. From a distance, she looked like a fairy.

Pei Jingchuan recognized her from a distance, walked up to her and said worriedly: "Qingyan, it's already so late, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Xu Qingyan said nothing, but looked at Pei Jingchuan with resentment, complaining about him in her heart: [Why can't I come? If I don't come, you will take that woman back to your house tomorrow to take care of her, and then take her as a concubine in a few days. My husband is about to be taken away by someone, so why shouldn't I, the principal wife, come! ]

Pei Jingchuan was stunned when he heard Xu Qingyan's inner thoughts. He thought: What about taking a concubine? He would never do that, and he had never thought about it! Since Qingyan was already here, he would naturally not let her go back.

"It's windy and a bit cold at night. Come with me!" Pei Jingchuan took her already cold little hand and led her into the palace.

So Xu Qingyan followed him to the Imperial Medical Bureau, where she saw the imperial doctors coming in and out, looking very nervous.

Xu Qingyan saw this scene and couldn't help but complain again in her heart: [Stop busying yourself, she will wake up tomorrow morning. After all, she took a coma drug, no matter how tired you are, she will not wake up. ]

After hearing this, Pei Jingchuan thought to himself: What? Took a drug that made her unconscious? Did Qingyan know something? Could it be that this woman also had a problem?

After experiencing what happened during this period of time, Pei Jingchuan had an inexplicable trust in Xu Qingyan's inner complaints.

So, Pei Jingchuan took the initiative to say to Xu Qingyan: "Qingyan, if it weren't for the woman in here who rescued me yesterday, I would be the one lying in there now. My health is not good to begin with. If the wood had hit me at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Jingchuan's serious and sincere face, nodded, but she had already started to complain wildly in her heart: [You big fool, you actually thought she was your savior! She was a spy sent by Pei Jingyuan to your side. The scene yesterday was arranged by them so that you would regard her as your savior. You see, she will wake up tomorrow, but her condition is very bad and she needs to be well taken care of. Then you will bring her into the mansion. Then there will be gossip in the mansion, affecting her reputation, and finally you will take her as a concubine. But speaking of it, you are really unfilial. This woman will poison your mother in the future and give birth to a bastard for you, deceiving you all the way! ]

Pei Jingchuan heard Xu Qingyan's voice and thought in surprise: This woman is so scary? However, Pei Jingyuan is too hateful. He first designed Xu Qingyue to exchange marriages, and now he wants to design himself to take a concubine. What kind of hatred and grudge do he have with him! He is very glad that Xu Qingyan came tonight, otherwise he might really take this woman back to the mansion as a benefactor tomorrow. He dare not take this woman back now, but he thinks it is better to ask Xu Qingyan how to deal with it.

"Qingyan, if this girl is not feeling well after waking up tomorrow and needs to be taken care of, what should I do?" Pei Jingchuan took the initiative to ask Xu Qingyan.

Seeing his obedient look, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but feel inexplicably relieved. She held her chin with one hand and thought for a while before saying, "In my opinion, we should rent a yard for her and find a few servants to take care of her so that she can have a good rest. If my husband can trust me, I will take care of her for you and I will definitely take good care of her."

After Xu Qingyan finished speaking, she thought to herself: [You dare to snatch my man, are you looking for death! If you let me take care of him, of course I will do it. After all, I don't want the Duke's Mansion to be destroyed! If Pei Jingchuan is killed, my life will not be easy in the future. ]

Pei Jingchuan listened to Xu Qingyan's words and thought: Qingyan didn't even call him husband anymore, it seems she is angry. Although he didn't know what husband meant, every time he heard Xu Qingzhi call him like that in her heart, it must be a good word. But now, she called his name in her heart, she must be jealous!

Therefore, Pei Jingchuan dared not to disagree, and nodded quickly and said: "Qingyan, whatever you say, I will do it. Your husband will listen to you!"

Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Jingchuan and said, "Not bad, not bad! That's right. This young man is teachable!"

That night, Xu Qingyan did not return to the Duke's Mansion, but accompanied Pei Jingchuan to find a room in the Imperial Hospital to rest for the night.

——The next day——

The imperial doctors and Pei Jingchuan said excitedly: "Prince Pei, the woman has been saved, but she is weak now and needs to be taken care of with great care in the later stage."

After hearing the imperial physician's words, Pei Jingchuan nodded and took Xu Qingyan into the house.

When the woman saw Pei Jingchuan coming in, she immediately supported her weak body and saluted him, "Sir, are you okay?"

After hearing this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but whispered in disdain, "What a good actor! When you saw my husband, you actually acted as if you cared about him. It's a pity that I'm here today, so I'm afraid your West Lake Longjing tea will be in vain."

Xu Qingyan immediately stood in front of Pei Jingchuan, looked at the woman with a smile and said: "Thank you very much, young lady. My husband is fine, but you are seriously injured!"

"You...you are the young master's wife?" The woman looked at Xu Qingyan as if she was hurt, as if Xu Qingyan had bullied her.

Pei Jingchuan, who was standing aside, found that the woman's behavior was indeed strange. He was not familiar with her, but she acted like this, as if there was something between them.

When Pei Jingchuan reacted, he immediately looked at Xu Qingyan nervously, thinking: Qingyan, please don't misunderstand anything, right?

Pei Jingchuan hurriedly explained to Xu Qingyan: "Madam, I really don't know her well."
