"From now on, concentrate on practicing martial arts!"
Watching his children grow up healthily, Xu Sheng feels a great sense of accomplishment and security.
Having accomplished his goal, he was no longer obsessed with having children.
Next, let the birth of the child take its course.
He had no plans to marry or take another concubine, nor did he plan to buy any more maids.
He doesn't want to take any more women into his harem.
From that day on, Xu Sheng practiced martial arts for six hours every day!
Just like Lu Ba practiced martial arts diligently when he was a child!
Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xu Sheng was practicing martial arts when suddenly someone came to the door of Xu's house and knelt down to beg for an audience.
It turned out to be Liang Xuejiao's maid Lingling.
"Please help me, Second Uncle and Second Miss." After she came in, she knelt down immediately when she saw Xu Sheng and Liang Xueruo.
"Lingling, what's going on?" Liang Xueruo, whose health had not yet fully recovered, was stunned.
"What happened?"
Yingying also asked quickly: "Could it be the eldest lady? What happened to her?"
"The eldest lady wants to sell me to an old man." Lingling burst into tears as she spoke.
"What?" Xu Sheng was also stunned.
This Lingling had always been by Liang Xuejiao's side back then.
Just like Liang Xueruo has Yingying, a maidservant, by her side.
Liang Xuejiao also had a slave maid named Lingling.
But Lingling always followed Liang Xuejiao quietly and didn't like to talk much.
In Xu Sheng's impression, she was a pretty little maid who was taciturn and submissive.
Of course Xu Sheng vaguely heard Yingying say something about Lingling. It was said that because Liang Xuejiao usually either beat or scolded Lingling, Lingling became more frightened and cautious.
"It's my eldest brother-in-law. He got addicted to gambling and lost a lot of money in the gambling house. Now the debt collectors come to the door every day to make trouble."
Lingling cried and said, "In order to pay off her debts, the eldest lady wanted to sell me to an old man! Because in the past three years, although I was a maid, the eldest lady did not let the eldest brother-in-law touch me."
After all, when they got married, Liang Xuejiao's husband was just a poor scholar!
By marrying him, Liang Xuejiao already felt like she was marrying down! Naturally, she didn't want to get a maid involved!
"Anyway, I have now become the most valuable asset in the family. That's why the eldest lady wants to sell me!"
Lingling trembled and said, "But I heard that the old man is sick and a disgusting pervert. I heard that more than one girl was tortured to death by him. However, because the old man offered the highest price, he offered three hundred taels. I begged the young lady not to give in, but she still wanted to sell me to him!"
After these words were spoken, Xu Sheng, Liang Xueruo and Yingying who were present were all stunned.
That’s right, Liang Xuejiao has been married in the past three years.
She selected carefully and finally chose a poor scholar.
She felt that the other person had some talent and thought that he could go to high school, and then she would also become successful.
Unfortunately, after three years, this poor scholar has made no achievements!
He didn’t even pass the exam to become a juren!
At the beginning, Liang Xuejiao did her best to support him.
However, after failing the exams consecutively, this scholar even became addicted to gambling and often fought with Liang Xuejiao at home.
Xu Sheng had also heard something about this matter.
As for the not-so-much wealth of Liang Xuejiao's family? She had already squandered it all in business over the past three years.
Usually she relies on Liang Yikun's wife, who is also her second aunt, for help from time to time.
But as time went by, his second aunt's family is no longer willing to help them!
"Second Miss, Second Uncle, please save me."
Lingling knelt down and cried again: "I really don't know who to turn to now!"
She was indeed quite pitiful, being a slave maid.
You have no right to decide your own destiny.
Although three hundred taels is not worth mentioning at all to Xu Sheng's family now.
But Xu Sheng didn't say anything.
He just looked at Liang Xueruo.
This matter concerns the Liang family, so let Liang Xueruo handle it herself.
"Lingling, you get up first."
Liang Xueruo still couldn't bear it: "Yingying, go find someone, don't let my sister know that it's Lingling we want to buy! Pay a slightly higher price and buy Lingling's indenture contract!"
"Thank you, Second Miss." Upon hearing this, Lingling immediately kowtowed and cried with joy.
Compared to being sold to a disgusting old man by Liang Xuejiao.
Possibly tortured to death.
Of course it would be great if I could enter the Xu Mansion.
There was no way for her to escape from this slavery; she would be a slave wherever she went.
But in the past three years, she has already seen Yingying's life!
I don’t know how envious I am!
After all, the two grew up in the same family!
They are all of the same slave status!
But in the past three or four years, the lives of the two sides have been worlds apart.
Yingying is dressed in fine clothes and eats delicious food, with a horde of servants!
What about her? The exact opposite!
As for Lingling's matter, Xu Sheng didn't say much.
He had already turned around and left to continue practicing his martial arts.
In a blink of an eye, three days later.
Lingling has arrived at Xu Sheng's home.
Together with Yingying, she worked as a maid beside Liang Xueruo.
Xu Sheng had no say in this. Of course, the affairs of the rear house were managed by Liang Xueruo, his wife.
What was unexpected was that Lingling came to Xu Sheng's room that night.
"Master, the second lady asked me to serve you." Lingling blushed, lowered her head, and had her long, slightly wet hair scattered. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower.
She is indeed a beauty.
The father of Liang Xueruo and Liang Xuejiao must have carefully selected the two slave maids before purchasing them.
"What?" Xu Sheng was stunned.
Of course, after thinking about it, Xu Sheng understood that Liang Xueruo must have felt that his wives, concubines, and maids at home were all pregnant.
Liang Xueruo herself had just given birth not long ago and her body has not recovered yet!
That's why he arranged for Lingling to come and accompany him.
Xu Sheng's maids in other cities were also pregnant.
He has been abstaining from sex for more than half a month.
But Xu Sheng didn't feel that there was anything unbearable.
He is devoted to practicing martial arts!
Because too much sexual activity will also affect the improvement of martial arts.
So Xu Sheng usually waited until a woman had given birth, had recovered, and had some free time, and then he would let her get pregnant before he would have sex with her.
Otherwise, Xu Sheng would concentrate on practicing martial arts.
He really practices the saying that sex that is not for the purpose of reproducing offspring is meaningless!
"Please have mercy, sir."
Seeing Xu Sheng's silence, Lingling knelt down, looking pitiful with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, get up."
Seeing this, Xu Sheng sighed and said, "Come and help me take a bath!"
After all, Lingling had already entered the Xu family as a maid, so there was no reason to send her away.
Although Xu Sheng is no longer obsessed with having children crazily.
But if there is one more woman to help with childbirth, there is nothing unacceptable.
"Thank you, sir." Lingling was also very happy and stood up and walked over.
"If the eldest lady had not made the wrong choice, Lingling would have been your woman now!" While bathing Xu Sheng, Lingling suddenly said with emotion.
"What's the point of saying this now? You can't live your life again."
Xu Sheng shook his head: "Come in and bathe with me."
"Yes, sir." Lingling nodded obediently.
She still has regrets in her heart.
Because if Liang Xuejiao had not made the wrong choice at that time.
Maybe she is like Yingying now!
She has become Xu Sheng's concubine.
That’s right, Yingying was promoted to concubine not long ago.
This was proposed by his wife Liang Xueruo, and Xu Sheng agreed. Yingying also gave birth to another son and daughter for Xu Sheng in the past three years!
Of course, although she was a concubine, Yingying still served Liang Xueruo as a maid every day.
Lingling also knows that she can't compare with Yingying now.
Now that she could become Xu Sheng's maid, she was already very happy!
After all, she has suffered a lot following Liang Xuejiao in the past few years.
A few weeks passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Sheng had sex once or twice a day.
Be determined not to overindulge.
The rest of the time, I concentrate on practicing martial arts.
On the seventeenth day.
Lingling became pregnant.
Liang Xueruo's body had almost recovered, so Xu Sheng spent most of his time besides practicing martial arts accompanying Liang Xueruo.
But unexpectedly, on this day, Xu Sheng and Liang Xueruo were walking hand in hand in their own courtyard.
Suddenly, I saw Liang Xuejiao, who looked haggard, holding a child and standing opposite Lingling.
"If it weren't for the Second Miss and the Master's kindness, I would be living in hell now!"
Lingling looked at Liang Xuejiao coldly and scolded: "Kneel down!"
Liang Xuejiao really knelt down.
"Liang Xuejiao, you have come to this day, aren't you very arrogant?" Lingling said with hatred and joy in her tone.
"Lingling, for the sake of our relationship as master and servant, please lend me some money. My child is sick."
Liang Xuejiao knelt down and cried, "Why don't you let me see Xue Rou and don't drive me away."
It turned out that Liang Xuejiao and the scholar's child were sick.
But their family is now out of money.
For the sake of her children, Liang Xuejiao, who was extremely proud back then, finally let go of her pride as a mother.
Xu Sheng looked at this scene and felt very emotional, but he did not speak, he just turned to look at Liang Xueruo.
