The next day.
The second wife dismissed everyone, and a man's figure appeared.
"Xiaozhu..."
The second wife frowned and said, "Don't scare yourself!"
"Why don't we elope?"
"Where would you run off to if you eloped? Are you stupid? This is where our Wei family's property is located. In the future, Chen'er will be the master of the Wei mansion. No one is qualified to compete with us."
"But I still feel uneasy!"
"Shut up, have you no self-respect? If you keep disturbing my peace of mind like this, you can tell the master you're leaving the Wei residence!"
The man looked somewhat embarrassed and lowered his voice, "There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you?"
"Today I met with the Third Madam, and she brought in a doctor? I heard from the servants that she was feeling unwell."
"Isn't this normal?"
The fox spirit often brewed some highly nourishing medicine for her grandfather. He couldn't finish it all and was afraid of wasting it, so he could only secretly drink it himself. The medicine was meant to strengthen his body, but eating too much of it would naturally cause him to get a sore throat.
Of course it would be uncomfortable.
"That's not how it is. When I saw the Third Madam waiting for the doctor to leave, she looked very happy and kept touching her belly."
The second wife's expression changed slightly. "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
"Oh no! That slut is seducing the master all day long, she wants to be glued to him all the time!"
Use it as a pendant!
"I will not allow anyone to seize Chen'er's family property!"
You need to figure out a way to handle this!
"It's not certain whether it'll be a boy or a girl, why are you panicking?"
"Are you stupid? Chen'er is not well favored by the master. If that fox-spirit had a son, would Chen'er have any chance of survival?"
"Isn't it too early, with only a little over a month to go?"
"It's best to do it early. The master hasn't developed any expectations or feelings yet, and the child in her belly hasn't even formed. If she dies, she dies."
If something happens as the baby gets older, and feelings develop...
If something really happened, given the master's madness at that time, he would have interrogated everyone in the mansion thoroughly.
"You better remember this: whether Chen'er is an illegitimate child or not depends on how you do it."
The man's expression changed slightly. "I'll handle this matter accordingly!"
In the courtyard, Wei Chen kept pulling on the maid's hair, whipping and rubbing her buttocks from time to time. The maid crawled around on the ground... looking exactly like a newborn cicada that had been peeled off its shell... delicate and weak, unable to resist.
The boy's voice carried far, "Hahaha, that's it... I like it when you climb like that, hee hee hee..."
The maid seemed to be deaf. Her pretty, fair face was covered in grass and mud. After hearing those words, her face stiffened and became numb, like a large green caterpillar looking back at Yong.
...
At noon, Wei Yihong and his third wife were cuddling together.
"Qiuyue, I wonder if you have anyone close to you who is taking care of you?"
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"The restaurant manager just wrote to me saying that there's been a bit of a problem with business over there, and asked me to go back and take a look."
"Oh, so in such a hurry?" Qiuyue asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, things happened very suddenly. Take good care of yourself for the next day or two. If there's anything you need, have a trusted servant handle it."
The third wife nodded.
"I understand. Then please come back soon, sir."
Emerging from the Third Madam's room, Wei Yihong's usually warm and gentle face turned serious, while Wei Guang jogged over with his head down, asking, "Master, what did you call me for?"
"I need to go back to our old restaurant. You can look after the business here for now."
"Hmm, when, sir?"
"Now."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"Yes, who can say for sure about business matters?"
Wei Yihong was restless and looked around.
I always feel like someone is watching me from nearby.
Wei Guang chuckled dryly and looked up, while Wei Yihong glanced at the other's eyes without realizing it, and his heart suddenly stirred—brownish-yellow eyes.
Suddenly his body swayed and his face turned pale.
He grabbed the garden railing.
Wei Guang quickly went forward to help him up.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Wei Yihong shook his head, "Recently, Qiuyue has been brewing too many tonics for me, and I can't handle them..."
Wei Guang suddenly realized.
"Yes, the master has been consuming a constant stream of tonics lately; even an ox couldn't keep up with that."
I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
...
By the pond in the backyard.
The maid was whispering among herself.
"My God, the young master is too ruthless... that lady has been tortured beyond recognition..."
"The second madam dotes on the young master, and the master is usually busy with business and doesn't pay much attention to these matters."
"Yes, the Second Madam is too soft-hearted."
"Soft-hearted? You all don't know," Si looked up and glanced around, then lowered his voice slightly.
"In the early years, when the eldest young master was still alive..."
The madam is incredibly kind to the eldest young master. From the smallest details of daily life, such as food, clothing, and daily necessities, to the most mundane matters in business, the second madam cares for the eldest young master in every way.
Even we servants are lamenting, "If only the young master were a few years older..."
"Yes, that's how kind-hearted the Second Madam is. She cares about people, loves them, and is very thoughtful in her work."
They're just a bit too soft-hearted.
To be honest, I feel sorry for those beautiful maids; the prettier they are, the more setbacks they suffer at the hands of the young master.
We may not be the best looking people, but at least we're safe.
Yeah, being a little ugly is good.
Some of the maids even mustered up the courage to whisper among themselves.
