Chapter 243: Taking a Concubine for Him
The shrill screams tore through the silence of the morning.
Ji Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his knuckles clenched the quilt tightly.
Then, the footsteps outside the yard suddenly became more frequent.
Ji Yunchuan's tragic scream attracted servants outside the yard.
A group of servants broke open the door, but were stunned when they saw Ji Yunchuan curled up on the couch.
"Master, are you feeling unwell?" The leading servant stared at Ji Yunchuan's unnatural posture, his Adam's apple rolling nervously, "Is there something wrong with your body? Do you want to see a doctor?"
At this moment, the group of servants who rushed in were all staring at Ji Yunchuan intently.
Only then did Ji Yunchuan come back to his senses.
A chill ran up his spine, and Ji Yunchuan hurriedly pulled the quilt to wrap himself tightly, with panic flashing in his eyes.
With a hoarse voice, he yelled at the door: "Get out! Who let you in without my permission?"
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that Ji Yunchuan would be so angry.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Finally, amid Ji Yunchuan's roar, the group of servants turned around and left the room.
When they walked out of the yard, the servants were still looking at each other, and then they started whispering to each other after they left the room.
"When we rushed in just now, did you notice that there was something wrong with the young master's place?"
"What's wrong?" Someone immediately echoed in a low voice.
“It just feels a little different from usual.”
"Hmm? I didn't pay much attention, you were just talking..."
“Ahem!”
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly coughed loudly twice.
Afterwards, Chen led the servants and strode in.
The two quickly dropped the subject and looked gratefully at the person who had reminded them.
When Chen walked in, she saw a group of servants gathered in the yard, and her face instantly turned cold.
"What are you doing here? How can you be standing here like this? Why don't you go in and take care of the young master?"
Chen scolded coldly.
Hearing this, the leading servant stepped forward and said tremblingly, "Madam, it's not that we don't want to go in and take care of the young master, but after we went in, we were all driven out by the young master."
Chen frowned even more tightly and said bluntly, "Why did the young master kick you out? Did you make a mistake and the young master doesn't want you to serve him anymore?"
After saying that, Chen glared at the group of people coldly and walked straight into Ji Yunchuan's room.
The warm fragrance wafted in the air, but it couldn't hide the tense atmosphere in the room.
As soon as Chen walked in and before she could say anything, Ji Yunchuan yelled at her angrily: "Get out! No one can go in without my permission!"
Chen was startled by the sound, but thought that after all, she was her child, and no one would do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Chen took two steps inside.
"Chuan'er, tell me, what happened?"
But just as he finished his words, a bowl flew out and hit Chen hard on the forehead.
Along with this bowl, Ji Yunchuan roared: "Get lost!"
Chen froze in place, looking at her son's red eyes and slightly trembling fingertips, with an ominous premonition in her heart.
The son who used to be as gentle as jade now looked like a trapped beast with its fur standing on end.
For a moment, Chen was extremely surprised.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunchuan's temperament suddenly changed overnight.
She immediately asked nervously, "Chuan'er, tell me, what happened?"
Hearing Chen's voice, Ji Yunchuan took back the second bowl that he was about to throw out.
"Mom, what are you doing here so early?"
Ji Yunchuan gathered the quilt and asked in a deep voice.
Seeing Ji Yunchuan calm down, Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps inside.
Looking at the faint red marks on her son's neck, Chen's heart suddenly tightened.
She asked cautiously, "Chuan'er, tell me what happened? Why are you so angry?"
Ji Yunchuan didn't want to say more, so he could only say sullenly: "Mom, please don't ask me anymore, the child is fine."
"How can it be okay? You were fine yesterday, but you got so angry today. Talk to mother and I'll help you find a solution."
As they were talking, Chen had already walked in.
At this moment, Ji Yunchuan was sweating profusely, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Chen's heart tightened, and she took two steps forward uncontrollably, and asked worriedly, "Chuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Yunchuan took a deep breath, looked away, and said in a muffled voice: "Mom, don't ask anymore, the child is fine."
"Alas, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Mother knows that you have had a hard time these days." Chen sighed, "Chen Ningyuan is not a qualified daughter-in-law now. It is impossible to expect her to serve you."
After hearing this, Ji Yunchuan thought of what happened last night and his heart skipped a beat.
Hesitantly asked: "Mom, what do you mean by saying this suddenly?"
Chen's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Chuan'er, our Ji family should have an heir. Why don't you let Chen Ningyuan take a few concubines for you, so that our Ji family can have more offspring!"
When Chen said this, she did not notice that Ji Yunchuan's expression gradually became ugly.
He also said to himself: "With your body, you can soon give birth to children for the Ji family. Even if Ji Yunnuo gets the title, so what? When your child is born, the Marquisate will still be ours. What do you think..."
Before Chen finished speaking, Ji Yunchuan interrupted angrily, "That's enough, mother, stop talking!"
"Chuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Chen was surprised and looked at Ji Yunchuan in confusion, "Chuan'er, isn't it a good thing to expand our Ji family? Why don't you let mother speak?"
Chen didn't understand and continued talking about the topic.
However, she didn't expect that the more she spoke, the more painful Ji Yunchuan's face became.
He covered his ears with his hands and whimpered like a trapped animal, with fine traces of blood seeping out from between his fingers. He said in pain, "Mother, I beg you, please shut up, don't say anything more, don't mention having children again!"
Seeing Ji Yunchuan like this, Chen was also frightened.
"Chuan'er, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me like this, okay? Calm down first."
As Chen spoke, she comforted Ji Yunchuan: "Chuan'er, don't be afraid. Tell your mother, are you worried that Shen Ningyuan will not agree to your taking a concubine and will not allow you to expand the Ji family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of rings and pendants outside the door. Shen Ningyuan leaned against the door frame and smiled softly, her white fingertips brushing across the gilded door knocker: "Who said I don't want to?"
"Madam Ji, please don't speculate on my thoughts. I am very willing to take a concubine for Yunchuan and help the Ji family expand."
"To be honest, since my husband came back yesterday, I have been planning to find a few beautiful girls and send them to my husband's room tonight."
