Shen Shaoyan didn't like the atmosphere of the brothel, but he still had to act out what he had to act out. He put one foot on the table, held his head high and looked very proud.
"You've obviously never seen a top-notch beauty. Compared to my new concubine, these brothel girls are nothing. They can't even compare to her toes."
"Is this true?" A young man's eyes rolled. "Bring out the concubine you mentioned so much so that we can see her. I don't believe she's as pretty as the courtesan Mudan in the building."
Shen Shaoyan said disdainfully: "My people are rare, how can I let you look at them casually? I won't come to the brothel anymore, just have fun by yourselves."
The young masters all laughed: "Don't tell us that you want to turn over a new leaf?"
Shen Shaoyan glared at them: "Is it not possible?"
Everyone laughed even more happily, even the girl laughed, and no one took Shen Shaoyan's words seriously.
Everyone knows He Wenmao. He is a stubborn guy who can't be beaten back even with a whip by the prefect. He is a great man.
Shen Shaoyan drank by himself. When it got dark, he returned home shaking his head and rejected the suggestion of his drinking buddies to visit prostitutes with him.
"I'm going back to sleep with my own woman."
"The novelty hasn't worn off yet..."
His drinking buddies didn't make things difficult for him and let him go with a smile, guessing how many days he could hold out. Some said three days, some said five days.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, you will get tired of playing with her too much. They thought that Shen Shaoyan would not be able to hold on for a few days and would definitely come back to continue hanging out with them, so they didn't care.
Seven days passed like this, and Shen Shaoyan stayed in Sheng Qiyue's room every day. After Shen Shaoyan left that day, He's mother called her over.
"Wen Mao has never been so fond of his previous concubines. I think you are quite capable. Please persuade him to stay in the mansion to study."
Sheng Qiyue was stunned: "Let the young master study?"
He's mother felt that her son was looked down upon and was very unhappy.
"Don't look at Wenmao as a man who behaves unruly outside, but he has been intelligent since childhood and has been enlightened early. His father is the prefect, and like fathers, sons are like dogs. Although he is young and ignorant, as long as we spend some time to straighten him out, he may be able to pass the imperial examination."
Sheng Qiyue twitched her lips. Is 24 still young? My son is already eight years old. In another seven or eight years, he can become a grandfather.
Sheng Qiyue sighed, thinking that no matter how ambitious she was, she just wanted to give birth to a child from a wealthy family so that she could live a stable and wealthy life for the rest of her life. Who knew that He's mother was more ambitious than her and actually wanted a playboy to pass the imperial examination.
She suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, He's mother thought she was afraid that doing so would make He Wenmao dislike her. Although the probability of this was very high, He's mother would not admit it.
In the past, she wanted Sheng Qiyue to keep He Wenmao's heart in the mansion and stop him from messing around outside. Now that it seems very likely to happen, she is greedy and wants more.
She thought, if it didn't work out, she would just sacrifice a concubine. What if it worked out? What mother doesn't want her son to become a successful person?
Mother He said with a sullen face, "Do you not believe what I said, or do you think Wenmao is a piece of useless mud?"
Sheng Qiyue knelt down and said, "Young Master is my heaven. I have never thought of him this way before. I will do what Madam suggests."
Only then was He's mother satisfied: "Get up, you have worked hard to take care of Wenmao these days, I will ask the treasury to give you twenty taels of silver."
Is this a case of giving someone a sweet reward after hitting them with a stick?
Sheng Qiyue didn't dare to raise any objections. She just said "yes" and slowly stood up.
"You don't have to feel uncomfortable." Mother He said, "If you can make Wenmao change his evil ways, this lady will not treat you unfairly."
Paint a big picture.
These three words suddenly flashed through Sheng Qiyue's mind. She shook her head secretly, not knowing why she thought of cake. Was she hungry?
After explaining her purpose, He's mother waved her hand and sent the person away: "Okay, you go back, don't forget what this lady said."
"yes."
On the way back, Sheng Qiyue met a group of beautiful girls from Fanghuayuan, or rather, they were waiting for her here on purpose.
The leader was a woman in green clothes and a lotus hairpin on her head. Seeing Sheng Qiyue's eyes full of jealousy, she shouted, "Come here, beat this bitch to death!"
With He Wenmao's order, those concubines were not allowed to enter Furong Courtyard. Now they finally found their chance. Everyone present walked towards Sheng Qiyue with a menacing look.
As soon as Sheng Qiyue saw Aunt Bi, she knew that she was not a good person. She had experienced this person's brutality in her previous life. She relied on the fact that she gave birth to He Wenmao's only son, and beat anyone she disliked. She was very arrogant.
When she first entered the mansion, she was beaten many times by Aunt Bi. Later, when she saw that she was no longer a threat and was getting uglier and uglier, Aunt Bi let her go.
Sheng Qiyue quickly turned around and ran away.
Aunt Bi was furious: "How dare you run? Catch her now!"
Sheng Qiyue ran in front and they chased after her.
"stop!"
Only a fool would stop, Sheng Qiyue thought.
She ran forward a hundred meters and suddenly saw the fat Lou Xinlan, and had a bad feeling.
After Lou Xinlan identified Sheng Qiyue as the target of her beauty plundering, she did not send her gifts immediately. She thought that with her cousin's personality, he would get tired of Sheng Qiyue in a few days. Then, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort by sending gifts to Sheng Qiyue, saving money and trouble.
She didn't expect that He Wenmao had been staying in Sheng Qiyue's room for several days in a row. She couldn't wait any longer. Lou Xinlan had already boasted outside that she would make changes in order to pursue Lu Yanzhou.
Now many people are staring at her. Even Lu Yanzhou has shown some interest in her and is paying more or less attention to her. Doesn't she want to show everyone some results as soon as possible?
Lou Xinlan was now on a corridor built on the artificial lake. Seeing Sheng Qiyue was about to pass by her, she silently stepped into the middle and blocked the road with her round body.
Sheng Qiyue became anxious and stopped, saying, "Get out of the way."
Lou Xinlan looked innocent: "This road is narrow, and I'm so fat, there's really no room for me to move."
Sheng Qiyue knew what Lou Xinlan meant. She had seen it clearly just now. Although the path was small, as long as Lou Xinlan moved a little to the side, she would still be able to pass.
Isn't Lou Xinlan doing this just to trip me up and then rescue me so that I'll be grateful to her?
Not in July.
When the concubines came to catch her ferociously, she gritted her teeth and jumped off the corridor.
Everyone was shocked by her action and looked down at the artificial lake.
I saw a lot of bubbles gurgling out from below, and Sheng Qiyue sank without even struggling.
Aunt Mei trembled and said, "Should...should we go and save her?"
"No," Aunt Bi said coldly, "What does it have to do with us if Aunt Sheng falls into the water? We didn't see anything. Let's go."
Everyone ran away in panic.
From a distance, Aunt Bi smiled and said to Lou Xinlan, "Thank you, cousin, for helping me get rid of this great evil."
Lou Xinlan waved her hands: "No, no, no, I didn't do anything."
Aunt Bi gave her a meaningful look and turned away.
Lou Xinlan looked towards the lake and asked, "Xiaomei, if Sheng Qiyue dies, can I still get her beauty value?"
