Chapter 344: Fourth Master: Jiuer's monthly allowance increased to 200 taels
The next morning, the Fourth Master walked out with a gloomy face, huge dark circles under his eyes, and a bad look on his face.
What's going on? I've clearly decided to harden my heart.
But once she started crying, she was completely defeated.
I don't know how I got through last night.
For a quarter of an hour, he wanted to go to someone else's yard to relieve himself, but because he was worried about her illness, he couldn't bear to leave.
If this goes on, when will he be able to have a child? No, when he returns tonight, he must take action!
"In another quarter of an hour, I will wake up your daughter and take good care of her. I will be waiting for her in the front yard to enter the palace with me."
"Yes." Nanny Song responded immediately.
The Fourth Master then hurried out the door with Su Peisheng.
"Pay close attention these next two days. If you encounter anything unusual, tell me."
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded, "Well, Master, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the young lady."
The Fourth Master nodded, and then said, "Go and call that old doctor from the Liu Mansion over here."
The Fourth Master was filled with rage. It would have been fine if this old man didn't help him, but he actually caused him trouble!
Seeing that he was going to the palace today, and judging by Jiu'er's temper, he would most likely tell his mother about it. The Fourth Master didn't know how to respond.
Soon, Doctor Liu hurried to the front yard carrying a medicine box. After entering the door, he saw that the Fourth Master looked very unhappy, and he was shocked.
I thought that the girl had something good happen to her yesterday, and that the master should be in a very good mood now that the heavy stone in his heart has been put down. Why is he looking like this now?
He came up immediately and asked, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
The Fourth Master sneered and stretched out his arm: "Take my pulse and see why I'm feeling unwell."
Doctor Liu carefully placed his hand on the Fourth Master's wrist. After a moment, he secretly glanced at the Fourth Master's face, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Master, you are suffering from... excessive internal heat. I can prescribe some medicine to reduce internal heat and dryness..."
No wonder the master looks unhappy. The girl is pregnant now, and it is naturally not pleasant for the master to stay there overnight.
But Doctor Liu couldn't understand why the master would want to wrong himself like this? The young lady wasn't the only one in the mansion who could serve him...
After hearing what the doctor from the Liu Mansion said, the Fourth Master's face darkened even further. "You are indeed an excellent doctor, but can't you see that I am the most uncomfortable?"
The doctor of the Liu Mansion was also a little confused for a moment: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
The Fourth Master gritted his teeth: "Were you the one who told Jiu'er yesterday that she was pregnant?"
Hearing the Fourth Master's question, Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded seriously, "Master, you are right. This servant did tell Miss Wen."
Seeing the Liu family doctor being so confident, the Fourth Master slammed the table and said, "How dare you!"
The doctor of the Liu Mansion was shocked and immediately knelt down: "Master, calm down."
The Fourth Master's chest heaved violently, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to him. He had told him to say this while he was drunk, and to say he was wrong wasn't a big deal, but it still made him extremely angry.
Doctor Liu was also very nervous at this moment. After thinking carefully for a long time, he said, "Master, do you think that the girl is still young and it is not convenient to tell you in advance? In fact, the girl is in good health and the fetus is more stable than that of ordinary women. You don't need to worry about this." The master has always attached great importance to offspring. I think this is the only reason why he is unhappy.
The Fourth Master's expression froze when he heard this. He turned stiffly to look at the Liu Mansion physician and asked, "What did you say?"
Did I hear it wrong?
The doctor of the Liu Mansion said nervously, "I am telling you, Master, there is no need to worry. The baby is in a stable position."
Fourth Master: "...fetal image?"
The doctor of the Liu Mansion said: "Indeed, the young lady's pregnancy is stable. She has been pregnant for more than a month. It is a waste of your preparations for so long. The medicine I gave you before is no longer needed. You can rest assured now."
The Fourth Master quickly grasped the key point: "More than a month!"
As he said this, he stood up suddenly.
The doctor of the Liu Mansion didn't know what was wrong with his master today, but he still replied seriously: "Yes, the young lady has been pregnant for more than a month."
"Jiu'er... is really pregnant!" The Fourth Master stood up and turned around several times, clapping his hands fiercely: "Rewards, everyone will get rewards, especially those who serve her. Ten taels of silver will be given to each person!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Peisheng beside him was shocked and immediately knelt down: "Master, is this too much?"
If I remember correctly, when Prince Honghui was born, he didn't receive so many rewards!
"Can you make the decision for me now?" The Fourth Master glanced over.
Su Peisheng knelt down with a plop, swallowed hard, and said, "Master, please don't mind my chatter, but the young lady's monthly salary is only two and a half taels... Besides, the young lady is still in her early pregnancy, so isn't it inappropriate to give her such a lavish reward?"
Su Peisheng had always had a close relationship with Wen Jiu, so naturally he hoped that Wen Jiu would be favored. But how could a woman in the royal backyard announce her pregnancy after only one month?
In order to ensure the safe birth of the child, the woman in the backyard wanted to keep it a secret.
For example, the wife of the emperor did not tell her master until four months had passed, and the concubine of the concubine did not tell her until more than three months had passed. There was no news at all before that.
"Master, what Eunuch Su said is absolutely right. The young lady is in good health, but it is still early in the pregnancy." Doctor Liu also gave this advice.
"You're right." The Fourth Master wasn't one to disobey advice. He had just been a little too excited. Now that he had come to his senses, he said thoughtfully, "In that case, just reward the people who serve her, quietly."
After walking around the hall twice, the Fourth Master said, "From now on, Jiu'er's monthly salary will come from my private vault, and I will send him two hundred taels every month."
When these words were spoken, Su Peisheng and Liu Fuyi beside them were secretly shocked.
Two hundred taels! The annual allowance for a legitimate wife is only three hundred taels. Although their wife now receives two hundred taels per month, that is only after she gave birth to the eldest prince.
The girl must be the concubine with the highest monthly salary in history!
The Fourth Master naturally noticed that the people around him were surprised, but he didn't care.
What Jiu'er gave him was more than just a few hundred taels of silver. How could others understand how good she was to him?
Thinking that Wen Jiu was really pregnant with their child, the Fourth Master couldn't help but curl his lips again, and suddenly said, "Go, move out the most precious boxes in my private vault."
"Good luck to you, Lord Beile," Ulanara had just entered the main hall and happened to hear the Fourth Master's words. She smiled and said, "What makes Lord Beile so happy?"
It's been a while since I've seen Prince Beile smiling like this. Could it be that Prince Beile has been more appreciated by the Emperor recently?
