Chapter 314 Liu Rumei's Past
Finally, they dealt with Liu Rumei, and Baoya and Yunyue ran to the backyard.
Yin Qianxue was still resting. The two of them said hello to Xia He and hurried back to the academy for class.
Xia He knew that Bao Ya had taken care of Liu Rumei, and she was very grateful. She kept saying that once her wife got better, she would invite Bao Ya and the others to have dinner at Ke Lai Xiang, the best restaurant in town.
Baoya didn't say that she knew the owner of the restaurant. She just pursed her lips, nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Now Xu Huiqin is no longer able to attract customers, and her business is very bad. No one in the town cares about her business anymore. The only customers are the passing merchants who occasionally stop to rest and have a meal.
Those little beggars still occasionally sing that doggerel on the street, and now almost every resident of Ping'an Town can sing a few lines.
Baoya and Yunyue came out of Yaoxian Hall hand in hand. Not long after they walked, they saw Jingzhen walking towards them.
"Brother Xiaojing!"
Baoya waved her little hand and greeted Jingzhen: "Why are you here?"
"It's class time, Mr. Xiao Qi can't find you." Jing Zhen said.
"Oh, we forgot!" Baoya covered her mouth with her little hands and looked at Yunyue beside her.
Yunyue also asked timidly: "Brother Jingzhen, Mr. Xiao Qi is not angry, right?"
Jing Zhen shook his head: "If you don't go back soon, he will really be angry."
Baoya and Yunyue ran towards the academy. Jingzhen had no choice but to quicken his pace to catch up with them.
When we returned to the academy, Mr. Xiao Qi's face was indeed dark.
Bao Ya quickly told Xia He about how she and Yun Yue helped send Yin Qianxue to the clinic, but of course she concealed the part about Liu Rumei causing trouble.
It's a good thing to be helpful, Qi Mo was very satisfied.
Not only did he not punish them, he also praised them in front of several other children.
After class in the evening, Baoya and Yunyue returned to the breakfast shop on Nanjiao Street, and Xiahe came again.
But she was alone.
"Sister He, I brought you some lotus leaf chicken from Ke Lai Xiang and some osmanthus cake from Hong Dou Xuan. Are the two children back?"
He Chunxiu was sitting behind the counter counting the money. Seeing her, she smiled and asked her to come over and sit down.
"Baoya and Yueya should be here soon. Come on, what are you bringing? Where's your wife? Is she feeling better?"
"Madam is much better now, resting in the inn. Hey, big sister, you don't know, Madam is pregnant..."
Xia He talked a lot to He Chunxiu, telling her everything that happened this afternoon.
Finally, he said, "Baoya, those two kids are really smart. They asked Doctor Sun to put Liu Rumei and Qiuyu under the care of the clinic. Now they're quiet. No one is making trouble in front of Madam anymore."
As she was speaking, Baoya's voice came from the door: "Sister Xia He, you can't watch too closely."
"Why?" Xia He was confused.
Baoya walked over the threshold and put the book basket on the wooden table beside her. She said, "You have to tell Grandpa Sun that Qiuyu can go out once a day, and then secretly send someone to follow her, but Liu Rumei must not be allowed out."
"Oh!" Xia He nodded. "This is the only way to catch them and see what they are up to!"
"Well, I've been with the Madam for so long that I'm a little confused about these things."
"It's okay," Baoya waved her hands. "Did Sister Xia He send a letter to Master Chen?"
"I have." Xia He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen is currently setting up defenses with Captain Fei in a small village on the southeastern border. It's not far from here, so he should be back in two or three days."
"Okay." Baoya nodded.
…
In the backyard of Yaoxiantang, in a room where patients were housed.
Liu Rumei sat on the bed, holding her eight or nine-month pregnant belly, her peach blossom eyes half-closed, feeling very proud.
Qiuyu was so anxious that he kept circling around the house.
"Madam Liu, why did you agree to that old doctor?"
"We asked him to send someone to check it out! This old doctor must be in cahoots with that little bitch Yin Qianxue!"
She had just settled Liu Rumei and was about to go out to get some water when two servants with gloomy faces appeared at the door of their room.
She was drawing water in the yard, and the two servants were staring at her with unfriendly eyes!
Isn't this just being monitored?
Unexpectedly, Liu Rumei waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I just agreed to that old man's request because I felt it was safe here."
Hearing her say this, Qiuyu's heart suddenly became nervous.
"That Huang Lian is here again? He still refuses to give up!"
Liu Rumei rubbed the corner of the handkerchief with her fingertips in annoyance and nodded: "How can he give up without seeing the silver?"
Huang Lian was one of the patrons she had received in Zuihualou before. His family was in business, he was very wealthy and generous.
She often gave her ten taels of silver in one night, and she also provided her with jewelry, rouge, powder, etc.
She was indeed attracted to him at that time. Although this man had a pointed face and was not good-looking, he was rich!
I originally wanted to follow him and let him redeem me.
But unexpectedly, not long after, she offended a high-ranking official from the capital and almost lost her life. In the end, she was kicked out of Zuihualou by the brothel owner.
She was born a prostitute, what would she do if she left Zuihualou? There was no place for her in the huge Huzhou Lingshui Town, so she wandered to the countryside.
By chance, she met Chen Huan, the governor of Cangchen Prefecture, who came to Huzhou on official business. She disguised herself as a poor homeless peasant girl and was taken back by Chen Huan.
However, Chen Huan brought her back and just let her live in his house and treated her as a guest.
After a long time, she began to feel upset. If she didn't get into Chen Huan's bed, she would definitely not be able to stay.
Moreover, the mistress of the Chen Mansion, Yin Qianxue, was a gentle and soft persimmon, which made her even more evil-minded.
She tried every possible way to seduce Chen Huan several times, but failed.
This man who looks like a decent man and is over 30 years old is actually a wooden man!
Liu Rumei was very angry, and finally one day, she got Chen Huan drunk.
Although she failed to succeed, at least she deceived Chen Huan and made him think that they were really husband and wife.
The old-fashioned Mr. Chen was upset that he had made mistakes due to drinking, but he also promised to take responsibility and give her a status.
Liu Rumei was secretly delighted and immediately planned to find a man to borrow her seed.
After all, only when a woman is pregnant can she tie a man down, especially someone like Chen Huan who has no feelings for her but only responsibilities.
So, just as she was thinking about who to find to be the scapegoat, Huang Lian appeared.
However, at that time, Huang Lian was no longer the generous young master of the Huang family.
The Huang family's business ran into problems and they lost all their money. Huang Lian also fled to Cangchen Prefecture with her family, and her situation was not much better than Liu Rumei's.
