In the following days, the court was unusually quiet.
Liang Ruitian and his family exerted their strength and directly brought down General Qi and Concubine Qi, making it difficult for them to recover in the short term.
This game allowed all the ministers in the court to see the strength of Liang Ruitian's family.
At this critical moment, no one would be stupid enough to touch the Liang family's bad luck.
During this period, Liang Ruitian was very proud of himself.
Not only that, with the financial support of the Queen, Shen Yuexi also selected a shop in the east of the city and planned to open a store.
But this capital city lacks everything except stores.
The shop was chosen, but Shen Yuexi couldn't make up her mind what to do with it.
That day, after breakfast, she sat by the window again, looking at the wooden signs on the table and thinking hard.
Liang Yuyu crawled around Shen Yuexi.
During this period of time, she has grown a lot and has learned to roll over and walk on all fours.
Yes, crawling.
Liang Yuyu smacked her lips and took the wooden sign closest to her on the table.
【Restaurant?】
The capital's restaurant market is nearly saturated. Opening one is expensive and unprofitable. Most importantly, the slightest misstep could land you in a lawsuit.
Shen Yuexi frowned, silently took the wooden sign from Liang Yuyu's hand, and turned it upside down on the table.
[Pharmacy?]
Liang Yuyu looked around at Shen Yuexi and shook her head helplessly.
"My dear mother, next time you choose a business, please choose one you are good at. How can you open a medicine shop if you don't know any medicine?"
The sign was turned upside down again.
Liang Yuyu stretched her neck and looked at the third wooden sign, on which was written a small word "Qing".
Before Liang Yuyu could continue reading, she heard hurried footsteps outside the house.
Liu Qiu walked in quickly.
"Ma'am, this is bad."
Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu turned their heads away at the same time.
Liang Yuyu suddenly felt the hairs on her limbs stand up.
[It's only been quiet for a few days now? Why is it getting worse again?]
Liu Qiu stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, the second concubine is sick."
Hearing this, Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yuexi glared at Liu Qiu in anger: "If you're sick, just call the doctor. Why are you making such a fuss? I thought it was nothing."
Liu Qiu's face flushed red, and from his ears to his neck, he instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt.
She rubbed her hands in front of her body and said in a lower voice, "No... Second Aunt's illness is something the doctor can't see."
Shen Yuexi was puzzled: "The doctor can't see her? What disease does she have? Even the doctor can't see her?"
Shen Yuexi turned to look at her wooden signboard and casually responded, "Go tell her that if it's a disease that even doctors can't treat, then it's useless for her to come to me and make a fuss. Don't try to be so rude."
Liu Qiu looked around, his throat rolling and the words stuck in his mouth.
After a long while, she shyly uttered a few words: "Second Aunt is probably suffering from a disease related to internal organs."
Click--
As soon as these words came out, the wooden sign in Shen Yuexi's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
She suddenly turned her head, widened her eyes, and looked at Liu Qiu.
The latter nodded slightly.
Shen Yuexi immediately picked up Liang Yuyu and covered her ears.
"How could he have contracted a dirty disease? Who said that?"
"The maidservant beside the Second Concubine came back early this morning and said that the Second Concubine has been in so much pain these past few days that she can't get out of bed and even has signs of sores."
Shen Yuexi was so angry that she was spinning around, and for a moment she lost her focus: "This... this is fine, how could she have contracted this disease? This disease is contagious."
Liu Qiu also cursed under his breath: "Who said it wasn't true? Fortunately, the master hasn't been to her courtyard in this period of time. What should the lady do now? Someone in the mansion has this disease. If this gets out, will our Liang family still have face?"
This was the first time Shen Yuexi encountered such a thing, and for a moment she really didn't know what to do.
[Of course, I’ll call a doctor.]
Shen Yuexi clearly heard Liang Yuyu's thoughts.
She was startled and lowered her head to look at the little guy, and whispered to Liu Qiu: "Don't talk about these things in front of the young lady."
Liang Yuyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Shen Yuexi intently.
[Ah~ Mother is still a woman of this era after all. ]
[Although she is more beautiful and intelligent than the average woman, she cannot break free from the shackles of her thoughts.]
[Although Second Aunt is annoying, she has this disease, which could cost her life if she's not careful. It's no joke.]
[Now that human lives are at stake, of course, the priority is to treat the disease.]
Shen Yuexi hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Go and get her a doctor you know. Remember, you must do it quietly and don't alarm anyone."
"Madam, she has this disease. Do we still need to call a doctor for her?"
Shen Yuexi's brows were tightly furrowed.
If Guaibao hadn't mentioned it, she naturally wouldn't be willing to save that woman.
But Guaibao is right, after all, it is a matter of life and death.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi waved her hand weakly: "Go, do as I say."
Liu Qiu turned around to leave, and Liang Yuyu smacked her lips.
[It would be best to get Dad in for a checkup as well.]
Shen Yuexi lowered her head and looked at the little guy.
The mother and daughter looked at each other.
[This disease is contagious after all, Daddy...]
Liang Yuyu blinked, her eyelashes trembled, and drooped slightly to cover her eyelids.
Shen Yuexi was furious, but she tried to remain calm on the surface. She told Liu Qiu to send someone to wait at the door, and as soon as Liang Ruitian returned home, she would let him come to her yard.
Liang Yuyu looked at Shen Yuexi sitting dejectedly by the window. She stretched out her little paws and gently stroked Shen Yuexi's cheek.
Shen Yuexi half-froze his brows and lowered his head to look at Liang Yuyu.
[The scumbag dad hasn't been to the Second Aunt's courtyard these days, so nothing will happen.]
Thinking of this, Liang Yuyu suddenly thought of a serious problem.
If the scumbag father hasn't visited the Second Aunt's courtyard these past few days, then how did the Second Aunt get sick?
[In this era, women rarely leave the house, and the only man they can interact with is their husband.]
[If Daddy hadn't been ill, then Second Aunt...]
Liang Yuyu suddenly withdrew her gaze, pursed her red lips, and looked at Shen Yuexi cautiously.
She couldn't believe her own guess.
[The Second Concubine is cheating on me? ]
Shen Yuexi's face was as gloomy as water, and her eyes were fixed on the wooden sign on the table.
Liang Yuyu followed Shen Yuexi's gaze.
This time she finally saw the words engraved on the third wooden sign - Brothel.
[So my mother actually thought about opening a brothel?]
[It's not illegal to open a brothel these days, but it's not a good idea to say it out loud. Why would mother have such an idea?]
Suddenly, Shen Yuexi pushed all three wooden signs to the ground and stared at the things on the ground with a cold gaze.
"If this bitch's illness comes out of nowhere, it would be a waste of all my planning for her."
Liang Yuyu was even more confused.
[Planning? Could it be that my mother wanted to open a brothel because of Second Concubine?]
