Chapter 178 Clean It Up for Me
Xiao Mingcheng held the packet of medicine and recalled He Yanchen's words in his mind.
He stared at the medicine bag for a long time, then handed it to the servant beside him and said, "Go find a pharmacy and check what's inside."
The servant acted quickly, and since this was not a complicated medicine, Xiao Mingcheng had just returned home when the servant brought him the doctor's instructions.
"Contraceptive pills?"
Xiao Mingcheng showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
Why would His Majesty give him a packet of contraceptive pills? Could this be related to the moon pear?
But he and Yueli had never used this thing. Before returning to Jiangning, he hoped that Yueli could get pregnant, so that his mother might accept her. How could he use this thing?
Xiao Mingcheng stood at the gate for a long time, so long that the Marquis's wife rushed out to ask him, "What happened?"
Seeing that he looked unhappy, the Marquis's wife thought something had happened during the court session and immediately became anxious: "What happened? Did His Majesty give you a hard time because of that little bitch?"
Xiao Mingcheng suddenly came back to his senses, and his face immediately darkened when he heard such dirty words coming out of his mother's mouth.
In front of him, his mother said this about Yueli. How did she treat Yueli when he was not at home in the past?
Could it be that the contraceptive pills were made by my mother?
Xiao Mingcheng pursed his thin lips into a straight line, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in his heart, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes when he looked at the Marquis's wife.
"Mother."
Madam Hou was about to speak when Xiao Mingcheng spoke. She hurriedly said, "If you have any problems, please tell me. Mother will help you share the burden."
"Mother, did you give Yueli contraceptive pills?"
Hearing his questioning words, the Marquis's wife stopped breathing and her face turned pale.
At this point, Xiao Mingcheng no longer needed her to answer. Her expression said it all.
"How could you do this?" Xiao Mingcheng rarely got angry, but now his expression was completely gloomy. "I've already consulted a doctor about that medicine. It's extremely potent. If Yueli took it for too long, she'd be completely infertile. How could you give her such a medicine?"
Now that she had been exposed, the Marquis's wife was also willing to give up: "Yes, I gave it to her."
"She was born in a brothel, and I heard she was sold there. Who knows who her parents are? Such an unclean woman, how could she be worthy of bearing children for our mansion?"
The Marquis's wife was filled with grief and anguish. "Besides, the wife hasn't even entered the house yet. If she gets pregnant, who would dare to marry you?"
"If no one wants to marry, then no one wants to marry!" Xiao Mingcheng got angry at the Marquis's wife for the first time, his tone becoming furious. "After the first month of the year, Yueli and I will return to Jiangning. We will live well there, and I will marry her when we return."
The Marquis's wife was so angry that her chest hurt: "You still want to marry her? Are you stupid?"
Their Shou'an Marquis Mansion was able to inherit the title only because of the protection of their ancestors. Shou'an Marquis is useless, and the only capable male is Xiao Mingcheng. If they don't find a daughter-in-law from a reliable family, how can they continue the glory of Shou'an Marquis Mansion?
"Don't even think about it!" The Marquis's wife was really glad now, glad that Yue Li was favored by He Yanchen, otherwise, if she stayed in the Xiao family, who knows what kind of trouble would have arisen.
Xiao Mingcheng didn't want to talk to the Marquis's wife anymore. He said, "From now on, mother, don't worry about my marriage anymore. I won't marry anyone else except Yueli!"
He turned and left without even glancing at the Marquis's wife.
The Marquis's wife covered her chest with her hands, her face turned pale, and she almost fainted from anger.
"Asshole!"

Yueli had no idea what was happening outside. After the New Year, spring was about to come. The Clothing Bureau sent her a batch of new materials to make her spring clothes, and Yueli was choosing among them.
"This one looks nice..." Yueli pointed to the rouge-red material.
Fei Lan nodded aside: "I think it looks good too."
"But this one looks good too..." Yue Li looked at the goose yellow material worriedly again. She felt that every piece was beautiful and she wanted them all.
Seeing this, Lady Liu said, "According to your status, you can choose five pieces of fabric this time, and more will be delivered next month."
Yueli muttered softly, "You can only choose five..."
Why did he bring so much to seduce her? How despicable!
Just when she was struggling, He Yanchen came back.
"What are you doing?" He walked straight over and waved his hand casually to signal the palace maids who were paying their respects to stand up.
As soon as Yueli saw him, she ran over and hugged him: "Your Majesty, I...I am selecting materials."
Yue Li quickly changed her address as soon as the words came to her lips. Nian Xia had told her some simple palace rules this morning, and she barely remembered a few points.
He Yanchen put his arm around her waist and glanced over the dozens of pieces of fabric.
Because Yueli was of high rank, after the empress had chosen her, Liu Shanggong was directly brought to Linde Hall. Although there was another Defei above Yueli, Defei was always low-key, and Yufei lived in Linde Hall, so Liu Shanggong was quite good at adapting to the situation.
"What's there to worry about? Just take whatever you like, in any quantity."
Yueli's eyes widened instantly: "This... This is not good. If I choose it, it will be useless for others."
He Yanchen laughed and pinched her cheek. "When did you learn to think about others?"
"They have new fabrics every month. You just entered the palace and are in need of clothes. It won't hurt to choose a few more."
Yueli was relieved now and picked out all the good-looking materials. There were more than ten pieces in total, which made Liu Shanggong amazed.
Concubine Yu was happy now, but she was finished.
If I go to other palaces later, I will be troubled to death by other masters.
Liu Shanggong left with a sigh.
Yueli jumped for joy and hugged the man's neck: "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I love you so much."
"A few pieces of material make you so happy." He Yanchen felt that she was too easily satisfied. He looked at her excited look and suddenly had an idea.
"How about I have someone make you a few more pajamas?"
Yueli didn't think much about it and nodded, "Okay."
The pajamas required little material and were made quickly, so Yueli received them in the evening of the next day.
She came out of the shower and stood behind the screen, twisting the clothes that could not be called clothes with her fingers, as if thinking about how to put them on.
After finally getting dressed, her cheeks suddenly turned red.
This...this is no different from not wearing anything.
Yue Li quickly put on another coat, and just as she was done she heard footsteps.
It was He Yanchen who came out of the shower.
"What are you doing hiding here?" A man's voice came from behind the screen, and Yueli poked her head out shyly.
He Yanchen smiled and slowly approached her: "Are you dressed?"
"I guess...I guess so..." Yueli didn't know whether this could be considered as being dressed properly.
She walked out and was held in the man's arms before she could even stand.
He Yanchen directly tore off the annoying coat. Under the candlelight, the woman's smooth skin was dazzlingly white.
She was forced to sit astride the man's legs, tilting her neck back to endure the hot kiss.
After a long time, Yue Li fell into his arms, panting.
He Yanchen chuckled and picked her up and placed her on the dragon bed. He was about to take off his outer clothes when he saw that the cloth on his legs was a little dark and seemed to be wet.
Yueli also saw it and she felt ashamed.
"You've soiled my dragon robe. What do you think I should do?"
Yueli pulled the quilt over her face and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, just throw it away..."
"That won't do."
He Yanchen smiled and stroked her lips with his fingertips: "Clean it for me."
