Chapter 7: Doctor Xie is not willing to be just a concubine
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir, please stay!"
Xie Suzhou heard someone calling him from behind, he paused, looked back suspiciously, and saw He Yuan dragging his fat body towards him in a hurry, with a flattering smile on his face.
"He Yuan?" As soon as he saw He Yuan, Xie Suzhou was reminded of He Fu, who had been relying on him. His expression turned slightly grim. "Is there something important you want to talk to me about?"
As a colleague, he couldn't just reach out and hit someone who smiled at him.
"Thank you, sir. I agree with your words about tax reduction and reform and innovation just now. I admire you even more." He Yuan bowed to him and said with a smile, "I wonder how my rebellious daughter is doing in your house. I hope she hasn't caused any trouble for you, sir?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned He Fu. But as soon as he did, Xie Suzhou's handsome face turned frighteningly cold. "He Yuan, do you have a place to stay in Beijing?"
He Yuan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what he meant, he nodded repeatedly, "Sir, I live in Jiqing Street, not far from your house..."
"Since you have a place to live, why do you let your daughter stay in my house and pester my wife day and night?"
"I don't want to break up with you, but since you mentioned He Fu, I want to ask you something," Xie Suzhou interrupted him, frowning and speaking bluntly, "Have you ever taught your daughter how to write the word shame?"
He Yuan's face turned pale, and he wanted to speak quickly, "Thank you, sir..."
"I know exactly what you're up to." Xie Suzhou leaned in close, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Before, considering you'd just arrived in the capital, I wanted to save some face for you. Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back. If you have any more evil intentions, your He family will be expelled from the capital."
He Yuan froze in fear, unable to believe that just because he mentioned He Fu, Lord Xie, who had been so gentle yet distant just a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression. "Lord...Lord..."
"He Yuan, I'm not kidding you." Xie Suzhou glanced at him, a cold expression on his handsome face. "I will never do anything to let my wife down in my life. You're wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Suzhou walked away, leaving He Yuan standing there alone with a frightened look on his face.

Su Family Concubine
"Miss He, have you finished what our county mistress instructed you to do?"
Cai Lian stood in front of the door, and the sunlight shone down, as if coating her well-proportioned figure with a layer of golden light. However, in He Fu's eyes, this light was no different from an evil ghost coming to take her life.
"Three days... fifty-two books... I've finished reading them all." He Fu's breath was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to straighten her back. "Just go and answer the questions, and let the county lady ask whatever she wants."
Cai Lian smiled and dropped a bombshell, "Our county lady said that she trusts Miss He, so there's no need to test her."
He Fu's eyes widened. "No... not taking the exam anymore?"
Then what about her studying day and night for the past three days?
Is she studious?
"Since Miss He can finish reading more than fifty books within three days, I think she is a talented person. The county lady sent a servant to deliver a new scroll, and asks Miss He to finish reading it within three days." Cai Lian clapped her hands, and four servants came in from outside, each holding a thick stack of books in his hand.
"What!" He Fu stood up instantly, but she hadn't even had time to eat in the past three days, so she naturally didn't have the energy to argue, and fell back into the chair softly.
"Miss He, the county lady is looking forward to your transformation."
Cai Lian only left this sentence and left with her people.
Her voice was heard outside the door again.
"For the next three days, prepare some vegetarian food and send it to Miss He's room. Don't make too much, or she won't have time to read because the meal will take too long."
"Yes, Sister Cailian."
He Fu's face was dejected. Even when the maid came to help her, she couldn't get up. "I want to go home... The Su family is a place that eats people without leaving any bones! I want to go home!"
"Miss... the master won't let you go back." The little maidservant wiped the sweat off her face distressedly and said helplessly, "Before you left, the master said that if you can't become Master Xie's concubine, you will have to marry the old man in the Ministry of Personnel!"
"Miss, only by reading books can we stay in the Su family..."
He Fu was stunned for a long time, unable to speak for a long time, until the sunlight fell on her face, "Give me the book."
The carved window was open, and a thin figure walked outside the yard. He Fu seemed to have seen a savior, so she struggled to get up and rushed out of the yard.
"Thank you, Doctor!"
Hearing the voice, Xie Jinyu turned around and looked at her gently. Seeing that it was her, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Are you the Miss He?"
He went out with Old Man Du to pick fruits for a few days and just returned home when he heard that a Miss He had been pestering Ah Cheng recently.
"Thank you, Doctor..." He Fu's face was pale. She leaned against the wall and pretended to be calm. "Are you interested in making a deal with me?"
Xie Jinyu looked her up and down, a hint of interest flashing in her phoenix eyes. "In twenty years of life, you're still the first one willing to make a deal with me. Tell me, what's the deal?"
He Fu calmed down. Somehow, she didn't dare to look directly into Xie Jinyu's eyes. "If I'm willing to help you... and make you the county lord's only man, would you be willing?"
The only man...
It has to be said that this condition is quite attractive to Xie Jinyu.
Xie Jinyu's eyes were filled with a smile, and a meaningful gaze fell on her pale face. The corners of her lips rose slightly, "Miss He has such a skill?"
He Fu took a deep breath, suppressing her inner fear. "After all, Doctor Xie is a man, so he wouldn't be content to just be a concubine, right?"
"If Imperial Physician Xie is willing to cooperate with me, I can ensure that the County Lady has only you by her side."
"I just want to thank the imperial physician for his trust..."
A dark flash passed through Xie Jinyu's eyes. He stared at He Fu for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "I'd like to hear more about it."
He Fu finally smiled for the first time in three days and said softly, "Thank you, Doctor. I won't let you down."

Main Courtyard
"Ah Cheng~" Xie Jinyu leaned gently against his wife, his handsome face buried in the crook of her neck, sniffing like a cat. "That's how it is. I wasn't provoked by her at all. It's my great honor to be Ah Cheng's lover. I wouldn't have any bad intentions."
Su Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand and touched his cheek, praising him softly, "You did a good job this time."
Xie Jinyu was praised and spared no effort to show off herself, moving closer. "I'm so sensible, shouldn't Ah Cheng give me a reward?"
Su Cheng glared at him, as if he knew what he was going to say next, "Xie Jinyu, I'm pregnant."
"It's already been three months." Xie Jinyu lowered her eyes, her palm gently placed on her bulging belly, her eyes filled with lust, "It's very safe, Ah Cheng, trust me."
