Lingzhi was not locked up in the woodshed where servants who made mistakes were usually kept, but was placed by Yuanshi in a room in the courtyard where the eldest wife lived.
"Have the tea and food been delivered?" Yuan asked anxiously after returning.
The maids were a little hesitant.
"Auntie, is it okay to treat this girl like this?" A familiar maid couldn't help but say, "She has really annoyed the young mistress, and the young mistress is still shouting to sell her off."
Yuanshi smiled.
"This is our young master's favorite. This is the first time he has liked something since he was a child." She said, "How could it be sold?"
That's true.
The maids looked at each other.
"But she has annoyed the young mistress." Mrs. Su said, "Don't forget that the fact that she is liked by the young master is all thanks to the young mistress."
Su was a very upright person and could not even utter that word.
But everyone understood what she meant.
Fang Chengyu is a paralytic, but now he can sleep with girls. This is obviously the result of the medication he has taken.
The reason why Jun Zhenzhen was able to marry Fang Chengyu was because she claimed that she could cure Fang Chengyu's disease. It is still unclear whether the disease was cured or not, but Fang Chengyu was able to do this at this time, which definitely was not for no reason.
Even if the disease cannot be cured, as long as Fang Chengyu can leave a descendant for the Fang family, Jun Zhenzhen will be able to make the old lady and the first wife of the Fang family worship her as a deity.
However…
Yuanshi frowned.
Isn't this the work of the old lady and the first lady? Could it be that Miss Jun really did it all by herself?
Just as she spoke, Liu'er rushed in with great momentum.
"Where's that little bitch?" she shouted.
The maids were startled and stepped back, and Yuanshi hurried forward.
"Miss Liu'er, what instructions do the old lady and the young mistress have?" she asked, emphasizing the word "old lady" to remind the girl that it would not work if she only gave instructions in the name of the young mistress.
Liu'er didn't care about the implicit meaning of her words.
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way." She said crisply.
Yuan had been at home for so many years and only felt embarrassed in front of this little girl. Su pulled her from behind to remind her.
You really can't go head-on with this idiot, Yuan smiled and stepped aside.
"I am afraid that she will commit suicide out of fear of crime, so I lock her up here to watch her." She said, "Miss Liu'er, come with me."
Seeing Liu'er coming in, Lingzhi, who was sitting in the room, stood up in a hurry out of fright and hid behind the table subconsciously.
Liu Er didn't hit her, but took a medicine bowl out of the food box the little girl was carrying and put it on the table.
"Drink." She said viciously.
Lingzhi was so frightened that he dared not go forward.
"Miss Liu'er, what is this?" Yuan asked, looking at the black potion.
"This is the tonic given by the young mistress out of pity for her hard work." Liu'er said with a sneer.
That would be strange.
Although Yuanshi had never experienced being mistreated and abused by the mistress of the household, she had heard a lot of such things.
Lingzhi knelt down and kowtowed.
"Madam, please spare my life, Madam, please spare my life." She cried with tears in her eyes.
Liu'er got furious when she saw her like this.
"Why spare her life? Didn't you say that this matter is not the fault of the young master, but your fault? If it is your fault, why don't you die quickly to atone for your young master's sin?" she shouted. Unable to bear it any longer, she went forward and grabbed Lingzhi's hair, while shouting for someone to come, "Hold her down and force me to drink."
Lingzhi immediately screamed and cried.
The maids looked at each other and no one dared to step forward.
"Miss Liu'er, please talk nicely." Yuan said while practicing Tai Chi, and did not step forward to help.
Su was looking at the medicine bowl on the table. Suddenly she stepped forward, picked up the bowl, sniffed it, and took a sip, her face showing a bit of surprise.
Yuan saw this and looked at him inquiringly.
"It's an abortion pill." Su said in a low voice.
Yuan was stunned.
"This, this is... this is the first time we have had sex... why would you want to have an abortion?" She laughed and whispered. "This is just childish nonsense."
The maid beside him heard it and looked a little serious.
"You can't say that, Auntie. Sometimes it's easy to get pregnant the first time." She whispered. "Although we don't have it in our family, other families prepare medicine to prevent pregnancy for their concubines and maids who sleep with them. That's why."
Lingzhi over there also heard what they said, and suddenly became even more ferocious. After all, she was a few years older than Liu'er, so she pushed Liu'er away and ran out.
"Master, help me..." she cried.
Liu'er was so angry that she rushed over and grabbed him again.
The room was in chaos.
Yuan looked at the medicine on the table with a serious expression.
If this is true, if Lingzhi really gets pregnant, the Fang family will have to worship her.
"Go and tell the Madam quickly." Yuan said to the maid.
One of the maids ran out during the chaos, and at Yuanshi's signal, the other maids separated Liu'er and Lingzhi, trying to coax and persuade them, but refused to give the medicine to Liu'er.
Abortion pills.
This is a very rare item in the Fang family, and it can be said to be a medicine that has never been seen before.
Because it is not necessary at all.
Yuanshi was looking at the medicine bowl from the side.
This young lady knows a lot. The abortion drug is not a medicine for curing diseases and saving lives. Could it be that this is an inheritance from the Jun family?
Besides, my aunt has a concubine, but the Jun family has few descendants. How could my aunt dare to prepare these for my concubine, so that Miss Jun can be influenced by them since she was a child?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Su.
"Sister, how do you know this is an abortion pill?" she asked, lowering her voice with a hint of joking, "Did your wife give it to you before?"
Su's face froze.
"Don't talk nonsense." She said, "I have seen a lot of medicinal herbs and prescriptions over the years, so I know it."
Because Fang Chengyu had been ill since childhood, the family had to take medicine three times a day. At that time, the young ladies were young and the old lady was busy with business, so there were only the two of them around the lady, so he assisted the lady in taking care of the housework, and the honest and dull Su helped to serve Chengyu.
She did a lot of work in boiling medicine.
There is a saying that long illness makes one a good doctor, right? Yuan Shi understood and stopped asking questions, watching Liu'er about to attack Lingzhi's face.
"Miss Liu'er, please be careful and hurt your well-maintained nails." She said as she stepped forward to stop Liu'er.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Fang in Fang Chengyu's room was surprised and thought it was ridiculous when she heard the maid's whisper.
"It's useful everywhere..." she blurted out, but stopped midway.
Jun Zhenzhen has even prescribed medicine, which shows that this is absolutely true.
After seeing her son stand up and seeing the blood on the list, although she was not sure whether he was really cured, Mrs. Fang was convinced of Jun Zhenzhen's ability.
Besides, there are many impossible things in this world that eventually become true. For example, if someone told her yesterday that her son could have sex, she would not believe it and would think it was ridiculous, but now it has really happened.
Mrs. Fang glanced at Fang Chengyu who was lying in the inner room.
"What are you talking about? What does Jun Zhenzhen want to do?"
Noticing something strange outside, Fang Chengyu sat up and shouted loudly.
"Don't touch the Lingzhi."
Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Fang felt helpless. She didn't know her son would be so stubborn, but she also understood that people care more about their first time.
"Alright, alright." She said to herself, "Just lie down and stop making trouble. I'll go take a look."
Fang Chengyu didn't say anything else. Madam Fang called Maidong and Baishao and told them to keep a good eye on the young master, then she hurried out with the maid.
Over there, Old Madam Fang also walked out of Miss Jun's study.
"Mother." Mrs. Fang saw her and said hurriedly, "Zhenzhen asked someone to give Lingzhi..."
Old Mrs. Fang waved her hands at her.
"I understand. Let's talk about it outside," she whispered.
Mrs. Fang swallowed what she was about to say and helped Mrs. Fang out.
Silence returned to the yard. Fang Chengyu, who was half-sitting on the bed, slowly lay back down, all his anger, stubbornness, shame, and other expressions disappearing in an instant.
His face returned to its usual calmness, except that his eyes were darker and darker than before, as if the actions and expressions just now had nothing to do with him.
