Prince Rui, who had been constantly being nagged, had been experiencing an itchy nose every day lately, and had consulted the imperial physician several times to take his pulse.
"The weather is dry, Your Highness should drink more water."
Since the princess has just given birth, it would be best for the prince to sleep in a separate room.
This will help the princess recover.
Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, Prince Rui was so angry he almost choked. What did he mean?
Is this an insinuation about him? No matter how lustful he is, he wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on his own wife.
I rubbed my nose, which was about to sneeze again.
"A quack doctor is a quack doctor. Someone must be talking about me."
"That's not right. I've received replies from everyone else, but why haven't I received my father-in-law's letter yet?"
Prince Rui sat there muttering to himself, and finally, he had to confront a problem.
That means it's possible that his father-in-law didn't receive the letter.
Or perhaps the carrier pigeon had already delivered the message, and the father-in-law's family received it, but the pigeon was eaten on its return journey.
Thinking of this, Prince Rui felt a little depressed. If his wife found out, she would definitely blame him.
As a result, before Prince Rui could write another letter to his father-in-law, Zhao Qinglin had already received a letter from her own father.
"My son, the day of your delivery is approaching, why have you not returned for so long, and why have you not said a word?"
Reply immediately.
Zhao Qinglin read the note for a long time, and finally asked someone to call Prince Rui over.
Prince Rui swore an oath and cursed, which meant he had definitely sent a message and even voiced his guess, earning him a glare from Zhao Qinglin.
"Don't use those carrier pigeons anymore, they're too weak."
Look at our homing hawk, how majestic and imposing it is! Learn from it!
Someone brought a plate of raw meat to Xin Ying, who ate it while Zhao Qinglin wrote.
In just a few words, he explained his situation and why the other side had not received the message.
After finishing his meat, Xin Ying stood on the table, staring at the letter Zhao Qinglin had written.
Zhao Qinglin rolled the letter into a small roll, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, sealed it with wax, and hung it around the neck of the mail falcon.
Xin Ying then nuzzled Zhao Qinglin's hand, his eyes turning towards the door.
Zhao Qinglin understood that the eagle was about to leave.
So he reached out and picked up the eagle, personally escorting it to the door.
The carrier hawk flew high into the sky, circled once above the courtyard, and then flew away.
Magistrate Bai is currently in dire straits, as the prefect has temporarily relieved him of his daily duties due to his concubines.
The crimes committed by the concubines' families were exposed by the common people.
Moreover, it was reported directly to the prefect.
The prefect didn't make these people roll on a board of nails, nor did he punish them with a cane; he accepted the case directly, which made Magistrate Bai feel a chill run down his spine.
He was already irritable, and his concubines would come to him every day crying and sobbing.
At this moment, Magistrate Bai looked at his concubines and found them increasingly ugly; they were nowhere near as pretty and charming as they once were.
They look like jinxes now.
"Get lost. All you do is cry and cry."
Because of your lowly families, my official career is probably coming to an end. Do you know that?
"If the master is ever to be executed and his property confiscated, you will be the first ones he takes down."
Although he said that in anger, he wasn't entirely innocent either.
I'm really afraid that if they investigate, he won't be able to get away with it.
Oh dear, how could I have been so bewitched back then, marrying such spendthrifts?
No, I need to talk to Madam about it.
In fact, his wife not only failed to provide him with a reasonable solution, but also made things worse.
"Master, this whole mess was caused by those few wretched women."
Don't let them ruin the master's career; it would be better to just get rid of those wretches...
As she spoke, Madam Bai gestured towards her neck.
Magistrate Bai closed his eyes. He truly regretted bringing this up with his wife.
"Madam, please don't make the wrong decision."
"We can't afford to cause any trouble now. You should go back to your room first. I'll think about it some more."
Madam Bai had long wanted to teach those little sluts a lesson.
Judging from her husband's attitude, she felt that he was still hung up on those girls and couldn't bear to part with them.
Since the master is reluctant to part with her, then let her, the legitimate wife, take on the role of the villain.
So, while Magistrate Bai was asking around and inquiring, several of his concubines disappeared.
Yes, they went missing.
It was when Magistrate Bai was away from home that Madam Bai secretly hired a slave trader to sell several of her concubines.
Of course, she dared not tell her husband about this.
Those concubines were bought by Prince Rui's guards.
They were housed in a residence next to the Prince Rui's Mansion.
At first, the daughters were quite frightened, after all, Wei Ying and his men were all wearing masks and holding swords, and they looked like they were not to be trifled with.
At first, the girls thought these people had bought them.
It was to solve certain problems, and as a result, they bought these girls and kept them in the yard.
They give you rice and flour, and every few days they might throw over a cabbage or something.
The group's feelings shifted from anxiety and panic to gradual stability and composure.
"Sigh, how much worse can life get?"
"When we were sold to this master as concubines, we should have known that every day we lived was a gift from heaven."
Second Aunt said.
Fourth Aunt echoed this, but she was very unwilling.
"My two elder sisters, do you think the master will be angry if the three of us are sold out by the madam?"
Third Aunt was completely numb.
I don't know if she'll get angry or not, but I know she definitely won't divorce us because of us.
At the same time, he also has to do everything he can to cover up our disappearance, do you believe me?
The second and fourth concubines looked at the third concubine with great surprise.
"Well, now that things have come to this, I don't want to keep guessing by myself anymore. I guess our master has offended someone he shouldn't have."
And our maternal family members, unfortunately, were of questionable character and fell into someone's trap.
To put it bluntly, we all suffered undeserved misfortune at the hands of adults.
Actually, we deserve to have ended up in this situation.
The second and fourth concubines strongly disapproved.
"What kind of talk is that? How are we the ones who deserve this?"
Third Aunt continued.
"Have you forgotten how we entered the manor in the first place?"
I'm not entirely sure about your situation, but I know how I got in here.
I was sold into this place.
My mother used the money from selling me to encourage her precious son to continue gambling.
Now they're under investigation and facing legal trouble. And we're all foolishly pleading for them.
As a result, he incurred the master's displeasure; what else could he call it but serving his own purpose? He was utterly despicable.
