Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Shen Congshuang was slightly startled, his face...
Chen Congshuang was slightly startled, with an unnatural look on his face.
Although he had decided to join Shen Xuan, he did not want to let Bai and Xue Fengli know so soon.
Chen Xuan saw what Chen Congshuang was thinking, so he said to him, "When Mother You comes in to tell you something, she might cause trouble again. Why don't you go to the side room at the back and take a rest?"
Chen Congshuang quickly stood up and was taken by Jingui to the ear room next door. After the door was closed, Shen Xuan coughed and let Mother You in.
Mother You has been used to bullying others in the mansion for many years, but she has made no progress and still has the face of a bully.
She brought two maids with her and swaggered in front of Shen Xuan, glancing at Jingui who was standing beside her.
Jin Gui was already fed up with her, and now she was not afraid of her. Seeing her coming over, she said, "You old slave are so unreasonable. Why don't you greet the prince and his wife when you see them?"
Mother You was choked by Jin Gui's words, and then she rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I want to greet Chen Ge'er, but I am a first-class maid in the Marquis's mansion, and it is not my turn to question you, a second-class attendant. You are so unreasonable, do you take the Marquis's wife seriously?"
Before Jin Gui could speak, Chen Xuan said directly: "Who said Jin Gui is a second-class attendant? I promoted him to first-class when I was in Sarawak. Now he is in charge of all the affairs of my courtyard. He can be regarded as half of my manager here."
Mother You was startled when she heard this, and Jin Gui also showed a hint of surprise on her face.
Before, when Shen Xuan was in the capital, he intended to promote him to a first-class attendant, so he let him teach himself to read.
Later, Jin Gui and Jin Zhi served Shen Xuan closely, and as his confidants, they received many rewards from Shen Xuan. But because they were too young, Shen Xuan was afraid that they would not be able to convince the public, so he only allowed them to be second-class attendants and did not promote them to first-class.
When Mother You came over today, Shen Xuan suddenly said these words to her, which directly settled the matter of Jin Gui's promotion.
As soon as Mother You came in, she was rejected and felt extremely unhappy.
When she first met Shen Xuan, she looked down on this "country boy", but now he is Xue Fenglin's legal husband and the master of the Marquis's mansion. As a servant, she can't refute anything.
However, Mother You cannot vent her anger by herself, but her master Bai can help her vent it!
Thinking of this, a malicious smile appeared on Mother You's face again.
This time, she came here with Bai's instructions to give Shen Xuan a big gift!
"Brother Chen, I'm here to greet you." Mother You gave Shen Xuan a greeting, then raised her chin and said proudly, "You are pregnant now, so there are many inconveniences. As a mother, Madam sympathizes with you and your wife's hard work. I'm afraid that you will be tired of serving the young master, so I specially sent you two beautiful maids to help you and the young master share the worries these days."
After Mother You finished speaking, she winked at the two maids behind her and asked them to come forward and pay their respects to Shen Xuan.
The two maids were about sixteen or seventeen years old, with pretty faces, at the age of youth and beauty. The Bai family had carefully selected it and bought it from outside to annoy Chen Xuan and Xue Fenglin.
Xue Fenglin and she were incompatible, so it was impossible for him to really value the person she sent. But Bai was unhappy and didn't want to make others happy!
She wanted to use her identity as mother-in-law to deliberately force people in, suppress Shen Xuan, and make him alienate Xue Fenglin!
The two maids came forward timidly and introduced themselves to Shen Xuan.
Because of their beauty, they were abducted from their homes and sold. They were originally intended to be sold to brothels, but they were chosen by the Bai family and became maids in the marquis's mansion.
From living in a brothel to becoming maids in a marquis's mansion, the two of them originally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that good days had finally come! How would I know the twists and turns in the Marquis’ Mansion?
If you can marry the prince, give birth to a son or daughter, and take a concubine, then you will become the master of the marquis's mansion, which is considered a quick ascent to heaven!
Mother You thought Shen Xuan would be very angry when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the other party smiled and said to the two maids: "Since they are sent by the Madam, they must be treated well. The Madam asked you to serve the prince well. The prince is in the study, so you should go and serve him now!"
Is this prince's husband so easy to talk to?
“Yes…” The two maids looked at each other, then felt relieved and left the main house and walked towards the study.
Unexpectedly, within half an incense stick of time, there was a loud noise in the yard, as if someone had dropped something! Then the two maids were brought back crying by Wuxin.
Wu Xin said to Shen Xuan, "My dear husband, the prince just got angry and said that these two maids were rude and unworthy of staying in the mansion, so he asked you to sell them out!"
"Prince, please spare us. Prince's husband, please spare us!" When the two maids heard that they were going to be sold again, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed!
If she were sold like this, who knows if she would be sold to a brothel again!
Shen Xuan then looked at Mother You in some embarrassment and said, "What can we do? The prince hates them so much, but they are sent by the lady after all, so it's not easy to deal with them casually!"
Mother You's face was stiff, and she could only stiffen her neck and say, "They...they were sent by Madam after all! We can't just send them away like this!"
Shen Xuan nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking. How about this? These two people should stay for now. I'll make arrangements later."
Having said this, he asked Jingui to come forward and escort Mother You out of the yard.
After Mother You left, she turned cold and asked Wuxin to take the two maids away first. Then she called Jinzhi in and said, "Go and invite Dr. Huang, the gynecologist in the capital, who the Marquis has entrusted to me."
After a while, Doctor Huang was brought in by Jinzhi. Chen Xuan smiled and said to him, "Doctor Huang, since you are now living in the Marquis' Mansion, you have nothing to do. I thought it would be better to give you double the silver every month, so that you can help take care of the health of the concubines and maids in the Marquis' Mansion, and check their pulses every day, so as to add more people to the Marquis' Mansion."
In order to invite Doctor Huang to take care of Shen Xuan, Xue Fenglin gave him a lot of money. Now that they want to double it, Doctor Huang is naturally very happy!
He immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as he took action, the marquis's mansion would definitely have a new baby within a year!
After Mother You returned to Mrs. Bai and reported what had just happened to her, Mrs. Bai laughed coldly, “This Shen Xuan is pretending to be magnanimous now, but he still doesn’t know how to be angry in his heart. I’m afraid that he will quarrel with that evil beast sooner or later!”
However, as they were talking, Qiongzhu suddenly walked in from outside and said to Bai tremblingly, "Madam, it's not good! Doctor Huang just came in and said he wanted to see all the concubines and maids in the mansion and take care of their health. The consultation fee and medicine fee will be paid from the account of the eldest young master's courtyard!"
"What Doctor Huang?" Bai asked with a frown.
"This... is said to be a gynecological expert in the capital. Many famous families specially invite him to have children... It was Brother Chen who asked him to do this..." Qiongzhu's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
Because she was also Marquis Xue's concubine, someone specially brought Doctor Huang to take her pulse.
After examining her pulse, Doctor Huang said that there was a cold ingredient in her body which was extremely detrimental to fertility. If she wanted to have a child, she had to take the warming tonic formula he had prepared. Only after the cold is driven away can one conceive offspring...
How could Qiongzhu not know that the coldness in her body was caused by taking the contraceptive medicine given to her by Bai?
However, out of fear of the Bai family's oppression, Qiongzhu came over immediately to pass on the message as soon as she learned about this.
After hearing this, Bai slapped Qiongzhu on the face with a slap, causing her cheek to swell up instantly with a red slap mark.
"Bitch! Did you go to see Doctor Huang just now? Otherwise, how would you know so much?" Bai cursed hysterically.
The matter of Madam Wen giving birth to a child is a major concern for her now! I didn't expect that Chen Xuan would kill people and destroy their hearts, and then find this doctor to check the pulses of the concubines in the mansion!
Isn't he afraid that these concubines will give birth to boys again and compete with Xue Fenglin for the family property of the Marquis' Mansion?
Shen Xuan really didn't care about the little property in the Marquis' Mansion.
Now he owns several very profitable shops, plus the income from Sarawak, he makes at least tens of thousands of taels a year.
Adding the savings over the years, I’m sure he can earn a chance to be the richest man in the entire Dajin!
The assets in Shen Xuan's hands now are several times that of the entire Marquis' Mansion, and they are still growing year by year. How could he be interested in the Marquis' Mansion's small piece of land?
Shen Xuan has always been a low-key person, and since Xue Fenglin is an official in the court, it is not good for him to be too ostentatious. Although they had a lot of money, they did not spend it on buying people or land.
Therefore, although many people know that they have made a lot of money, they never imagined that they actually made so much!
In fact, Shen Xuan didn't care about the people in the Marquis' Mansion at all. If it weren't for the fact that Bai had gone too far this time, he wouldn't even bother to care about them. He would not deliberately invite Doctor Huang to annoy Bai!
This is the case in the capital. Although Shen Xuan does not want to fight with others, others will not let him go easily just because of his kindness and tolerance!
Chen Xuan asked Jin Gui to invite Chen Congshuang out of the ear room again. Although Shen Congshuang couldn't see anything just now, he could hear the noise outside clearly.
Hearing that Shen Xuan had actually used so little power to directly send away the maid sent by Bai Shi, and made Bai Shi suffer a setback, she felt both envious and admiring.
Given Chen Congshuang's personality, she naturally didn't believe that there was any true love between Xue Fenglin and Shen Xuan. I just think that it is because Shen Xuan has the ability to make money that Xue Fenglin can be so obedient and respectful to him!
After talking with Shen Congshuang, Shen Xuan sent him away. After he left, Jin Gui asked in confusion, "Brother Chen, I feel that brother has bad character. He planned to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, and even the master, the mistress, and the second young master were plotted by him! Can you really trust his words? Do you really want to befriend him?"
After Shen Xuan glanced at Jin Gui, he shook his head and said with a smile: "You are wrong. It is more reliable to employ people like this!"
Jin Gui didn't understand Shen Xuan's words anymore, and said in confusion: "I really don't understand what Shen Xuan said..."
Shen Xuan said to him, "You and Jinzhi are both my personal attendants. Do you know why I promoted you instead of Jinzhi?"
Jin Gui was startled, her face flushed as she said, "I... I don't know, maybe Jin Zhi is more impetuous than me?"
"But he did a good job of what I asked him to do. On the contrary, you were the one who complained about me to Mother You from the beginning." Shen Xuan slowly poured a cup of tea.
"Brother Chen! I was young and ignorant at that time. Since then, I am grateful for your cultivation of me and I have devoted myself to you! I have no other thoughts! If I have any other thoughts, let me be struck by lightning!" Jin Gui was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground and swore.
"Hurry up and get up. I mentioned this just to explain things to you. I don't mean to blame you." Shen Xuan hurriedly asked Jin Gui to get up.
Then he continued, "Jinzhi has a simple mind. Apart from eating and playing, he has very few desires. He is good like this, but it also makes people hard to figure out his true colors."
"Compared to Jinzhi, you have more ideas and want more. I know you want to climb up the social ladder, want to be a first-class attendant, want to be a manager. It is because of your ambition that I can control you and feel more at ease to hand over many things to you."
"What Chen Congshuang wants now is very clear, that is, to gain a firm foothold in the Marquis' Mansion! This is something that neither Bai Shi nor Xue Fengli can give him."
"Now that he has chosen to join me, he must have made up his mind to fight to the death. In this sense, he is easy to use. After all, you can see that he has no feelings for Xue Fengli. Joining me is actually the best way to protect his interests. He will not easily turn against me."
Shen Congshuang returned to his own courtyard, and Doctor Huang happened to come there to take his pulse.
Doctor Huang examined him for a long time before he said in a serious tone, "My dear, judging from your pulse, your health seems to be seriously damaged! If you don't take good care of yourself, you may never have children again!"
Shen Congshuang's face turned pale, and he quickly asked Doctor Huang how to take care of his body.
Doctor Huang thought for a while before saying, "I just checked their pulses and found that many of the ladies in the mansion have cold symptoms. This is not the most important thing. I just need to prescribe warming and nourishing medicine to treat them well."
"But compared to them, your body is even more depleted. Instead, you should have less sex and take care of your health so that you can rest and recuperate and have children."
Have less sex, take a rest and recuperate...
Shen Congshuang couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He also wanted to do so, but Xue Fengli refused to let him go.
Even if there are fewer people coming to his yard now, he will definitely send people to bring some things to torture him! If this goes on, how can I ever get pregnant with a child?
In addition, after Xue Fengli took the elixir, he would lose energy if he didn’t use it…
Shen Congshuang thought about it, took out a small pill from under the pillow, handed it to Doctor Huang and said, "Doctor, take a look at this? What effects will it have if taken for a long time?"
Doctor Huang brought the pill to his nose, sniffed it, then crushed it and put it in his mouth to chew. Then he spat it out with a "Puh" sound and said, "This kind of thing is a pill made by folk alchemists, right?"
"This is not a good thing. In order to cheat people out of money, those alchemists will add a lot of addictive herbs to it! If you eat too much, at best you will feel drowsy all day and your body will be weak. At worst you will lose your fertility!"
"But I just checked your pulse and there is no sign of the medicine remaining in your body. No matter who gave you this medicine, you must never touch it again!"
After sending Doctor Huang away, Shen Congshuang sat by the bed with a pale face.
After a long time, he said to Qingzhu: "Go and ask if the second young master will not come back tonight?"
"Yes." Qingzhu hurried out for a while, and when he came back, he said, "The Second Young Master is in Baihua Tower with the Sixth Young Master of the Qian Family today, so he probably won't be back."
After gritting her teeth, Shen Congshuang finally said, "Go and call Manager Lin from the Second Young Master's yard..."
Qingzhu was startled, somewhat doubting that he had heard wrongly, and asked, "But that Manager Lin is not a good guy. Didn't he almost flirt with you, Shuang'er, the last time he came here?"
"Just go when I tell you to? Why are you talking so much?" Shen Congshuang said coldly.
Qingzhu seemed to realize something, and then he shuddered and did as Shen Congshuang instructed.
