Madam Shen was not a fool; how could she not know her son's concerns?

She didn't waste any words, but walked over and said in a low voice:

"Mom made something, it's in this bowl of sweet egg soup."

You've eaten, go back to your room. Get plenty of rest tomorrow.

Qi Mingyu felt very awkward upon hearing this.

He knew that what his mother was talking about was nothing more than something that would benefit a man in that aspect.

Considering that he is still young and has a good constitution, it wouldn't be difficult for him to have sex two or three times a night.

Now, however, he has to rely on external things, which makes him feel bitter and embarrassed.

However, that's the reality, and he wasn't allowed to have any opinions or complaints.

He even had to figure out how to avoid such things in the future.

I'm afraid that Xue Mengyu will find out and then complain.

He just hopes that he'll win in one night.

In this way, since Xue Mengyu is pregnant, he won't have to worry about having sex with her.

If Xue Mengyu wanted to arrange a concubine for him, he would express his deep affection.

She said she wouldn't touch any woman other than her.

Presumably, the Xue family should be quite satisfied with his performance!

However, he still needs to be careful during this month.

Before going back to bed, make sure you get plenty of rest and conserve your energy, instead of being like you are today.

Then secretly look for any medicine that could improve his condition.

Otherwise, things can't stay like this forever!

With a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, Qi Mingyu picked up the bowl as if he were swallowing poison.

Every bite of sweet boiled egg was painful for him.

After he finally finished eating, he got up and walked towards the new house.

Inside the new house, Xue Mengyu, who had already prepared "wine," was also waiting for Qi Mingyu to return.

She originally thought that Qi Mingyu, who didn't have any social engagements on his wedding night, would be eager to return to the bridal chamber.

But she waited and waited, almost falling asleep, but no one came.

After asking the maid, they learned that the young master was studying in the study.

She was both annoyed by his lack of respect and happy for his diligence.

In her view, the autumn imperial examinations would be held in a few months, and the harder Qi Mingyu worked, the better his chances of passing the exams and becoming a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations).

If he passes the imperial examination, she will transform from a merchant's daughter whom everyone looks down upon into the wife of a successful candidate in the examination.

At that time, even her aunts and other wives of landlords would treat her with great respect.

It doesn't matter if Qi Mingyu fails the imperial examination in the future.

He was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, which exempted him from a significant amount of land tax.

She could buy a lot of land, and with his status as a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, she could even have him open a private school.

Moreover, her family no longer needed to send tributes to the county magistrate.

From now on, all the sons of the Xue family can come to this private school.

If you have the talent for studying, you can register your name and come to her.

They will then participate in the scientific expedition under the name of the Qi family descendants.

After operating for a few more years, we can try to change the Xue family's business status from merchants to farmers.

In this way, the descendants of the Xue family could also participate in the scientific expeditions.

With money and official rank, the Xue family will surely be able to change their social standing!

Perhaps the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, because she was full of energy when Qi Mingyu entered the room.

The red veil on her head had been lifted.

She had already bathed and changed into a thin gauze dress.

Whether it was due to the effects of the medicine or not, Qi Mingyu felt that he had acted impulsively upon seeing this scene.
