"Madam, your condition is serious. I have brought shame upon you."
Xiao Yunrou asked Hongzhuang to bring some ointment for Nanny Su. Looking at the redness on Nanny Su's face and her slightly red eyes, she said guiltily:
"It's my fault. Mother doesn't like me. Shen Tang is her niece, so she's going to take her anger out on me."
Nanny Su became a little anxious when she saw this. Xiao Yunrou was still pregnant, and her emotions were more volatile during this pregnancy. If she got hurt because of her, she would be blamed for it.
"It doesn't matter that I am a thick-skinned old slave. Madam, you are still pregnant with the young master. Please don't worry about me. Take care of yourself first."
Xiao Yunrou knew that Nanny Su didn't want to make her worry, so she could only sigh and let Luyi help Nanny Su go back to rest.
In Zhining Garden, Shen came back angrily. The woman beside her poured tea for her and passed it to her, but Shen was still furious and knocked it over. The tea soaked the woman's dress. Fortunately, the weather was still a little cold and she had to wear more clothes, otherwise the scalding hot tea would have scalded her.
"lady……"
The woman felt a little aggrieved and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Shen.
"Useless rubbish! I gave you a chance and gave you a chance, but what about you? Have you done anything wrong in the past six months? Feng'er has never seen you once!"
The woman bit her lip, feeling unwilling in her heart. But she still looked weak. Yes, this woman was one of the two concubines that Shen had forced upon Xiao Yunrou when she was pregnant. Her name was Qingluan.
Qingluan was born with a good appearance and a good figure. She thought that after becoming Pei Lingfeng's concubine, she would be able to live a more comfortable life than Shen Tang before if she used some tricks. But she didn't expect that in the past six months, Pei Lingfeng had never set foot in Haitang Garden, and even if he occasionally met him on the road, he couldn't get close to him. Pei Lingfeng now favors Xiao Yunrou, and even Aunt Liu, who entered the mansion earlier than her and has a son, can't see him.
Although Xiao Yunrou usually didn't treat them harshly, she was unwilling to accept it. With her beauty and good years, how could she be buried like this? She could only flatter Shen Shi, so that she could win Shen Shi's eyes and let Pei Lingfeng see her. Especially today's glance, cold and arrogant, really made her heart move.
"It is my fault that I am useless. Please punish me, Madam."
Qingluan knew that it was useless to defend herself at this time, and it would only make Shen hate her, so she could only admit her mistakes and hope for a turnaround. She didn't want to be like Hongluan, a decoration in Haitang Garden, without favor or love, and die in the mansion of a marquis with no children.
"Humph, I'll give you one more chance. If you still can't seize it, then just stay in the backyard and watch other women living together with Feng'er."
Shen narrowed her eyes and looked at Qingluan with disdain. If she really had no one else to use and her son had left her, why would she use such a waste?
"I will definitely live up to your expectations, Madam, and accomplish my mission."
Qingluan gritted her teeth, she knew this was her last chance, if she couldn't accomplish it she would be abandoned. Thinking of the future that Shen had just mentioned, her hands were shaking.
Shen looked at Qingluan with satisfaction, and then waved her hand to let her leave. After Qingluan left, Shen called Madam Zhu over, whispered some instructions to her, and then showed a smile of watching a good show on her face.
At night, Pei Lingfeng was handling government affairs in the study. Qingluan came here with chicken soup on Shen's orders. Because she was accompanied by someone from Shen's side, the guard in the study believed Qingluan and went in to report to Pei Lingfeng. After a while, Qingluan walked in with Pei Lingfeng's consent.
Qingluan entered the study and placed the tray on the table. Her fair neck was slightly exposed at the collar, and the faint fragrance on her body was quite elegant.
"Your Highness."
Qingluan spoke softly and did not seem noisy, at least she looked quite beautiful to outsiders.
"I am here on Madam's orders to bring you some chicken soup. Please take care of yourself, my Lord, and don't overwork yourself."
This was the first time Qingluan saw Pei Lingfeng up close. Looking at his face so closely, she felt more determined.
"Put it down, you can go out." Pei Lingfeng said lightly.
Qingluan's face froze when she heard that. She glanced unwillingly at the indifferent man buried in documents, bowed slightly, and left.
After leaving the study, Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Pei Lingfeng did not drink the soup in front of her as he wished, this soup was sent by Shen, so she thought he would get some face from her.
After the hour of Xu, Pei Lingfeng finished his work and looked at the soup on the table. He felt a little more hungry, so he took some with a spoon and swallowed it slowly. He only ate a small half of it before asking someone to take it away.
That night, Pei Lingfeng went back to Derouyuan to sleep, but he lay on the bed, holding Xiao Yunrou in his arms, and immediately felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and his mind was full of Xiao Yunrou's charm when she was under him. He tried hard to suppress those thoughts, and didn't think much about it, just thinking that he hadn't touched her for a long time, and his body needed it.
But Pei Lingfeng didn't expect that his body would become restless again while he was half asleep and half awake that night, and he felt something was wrong. Thinking of that bowl of soup, his eyes were cold and he wanted to tear the ignorant woman to pieces. It was really good that he dared to do such dirty things in the Marquis' Mansion, especially when he was the protagonist!
Pei Lingfeng tried to suppress the heat by force, but it didn't get better. Instead, it got worse as time went by. It's getting better. It seems that the medicine he used is also very exquisite. It seems that the effect of this medicine cannot be blocked by internal force.
Pei Lingfeng suppressed his restlessness and let go of Xiao Yunrou with sweat on his forehead. He made sure he did not wake her up before leaving the bed. He was afraid that staying in this room would hurt the most important woman to him.
Pei Lingfeng endured the discomfort and took a shower of cold water, but there was no way to cure it. He changed his clothes and went to the backyard. When he took a shower, he had already asked someone to find out who had drugged her. She wanted a man? Okay, what's wrong with fulfilling her wish?
Arriving at Haitang Garden, Pei Lingfeng kicked open Qingluan's door and threw her to the ground. Facing those emotionless eyes that seemed to be looking at a dead person, Qingluan was terrified.
"Want a man, huh?"
Qingluan heard his cold, cruel and crazy tone and knew that she had been discovered. But she was confident that the medication was absolutely secret and it would be difficult for anyone to easily detect it. Moreover, this was the medicine Shen personally gave her and it had nothing to do with her, so she gritted her teeth and refused to give in.
"My Lord, I don't have any." Qingluan said tremblingly.
"Oh, you'll know soon enough."
Pei Lingfeng had Qingluan picked up from the ground, taken her out of the mansion, and thrown her into the pile of beggars.
Qingluan's pajamas were thrown away, revealing her graceful figure. Those beggars had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and their eyes were shining with envy. If they hadn't seen Pei Lingfeng and the others, they would have rushed up to her directly.
"This woman is given to you." Pei Lingfeng said without emotion.
“No, don’t…”
Qingluan looked at the beggars rushing towards her in horror and screamed loudly, but those beggars had been begging for years and had not touched a woman for a long time, so they had no mercy at this time, tore off her clothes and ran directly on her.
Qingluan was still a virgin, how could she endure such terrible and rough treatment? She screamed "Ah" and her whole body trembled in pain.
"My Lord, I have never done this, I really haven't!!"
The pain in her lower body was getting worse and worse. The beggars were only concerned with venting their desires and showed her no mercy. The foul stench coming from her was really disgusting.
"No?" Pei Lingfeng's eyes were icy.
"My Lord, I deserve to die. It was Madam who asked me to deliver it, and I was just following Madam's orders. Please forgive me, my Lord. I will never dare to do it again!"
The beggar tortured her to the point of almost passing out several times, but she was stimulated to wake up more clearly by the severe pain in the end. Such humiliation made Qingluan wish she could die immediately, but it was good that she lost her last dignity in front of the man she loved.
But when she thought of Pei Lingfeng's cruelty, Qingluan couldn't help shivering even though her whole body was in pain, and her heart felt cold.
"The concubine Qingluan died suddenly."
Hearing this, Qingluan's face turned pale. Pei Lingfeng ignored her and walked back to the Marquis' Mansion. After returning to Zhining Garden, he found that his restlessness was becoming more and more obvious. Looking at Xiao Yunrou's sleeping face, he almost went crazy.
Don’t touch Xiao Yunrou! This was the last thought in Pei Lingfeng’s mind!
The next day, when Xiao Yunrou got up, she saw Pei Lingfeng sleeping on the couch in the bedroom. His face was pale and there were dark shadows under his eyes.
Xiao Yunrou was stunned. Didn't Pei Lingfeng sleep with her on the bed last night? How did he become like this?
Xiao Yunrou subconsciously moved closer to Pei Lingfeng, listening to his steady and long breathing. Not wanting to disturb him, she pinched the corner of the quilt for him and left quietly.
"What happened?" Xiao Yunrou asked Liu Feng who was guarding the door as soon as she came out.
Liu Feng didn't want to say it, it would be too embarrassing for the master! But thinking that Xiao Yunrou was the mistress after all, it would be fine to let her handle it. So Liu Feng reported to Su Yunrou what happened last night.
In fact, Qingluan really didn't drug anyone. She followed Shen's instructions in everything she did last night. She applied aphrodisiac spices on her body and put the aphrodisiac into the soup.
Although Qingluan's death was not a pity, it was all planned by Shen. She had seen many mothers inserting people into their sons' lives, but how could a mother directly drug her?
When she thought about everything Shen had done, she felt it was not real, but when she thought about Shen's hatred for her, she could understand it.
She didn't want to hear about Qingluan's ending. As for Shen, Xiao Rou smiled slightly. She asked Liu Feng to deliver all the evidence found last night to Shen of Zhiningyuan.
Obviously, Shen, the mother, did not understand her son's cruelty. When she saw the evidence and knew Qingluan's fate, Shen felt cold all over. How could she know that her son would ignore her as a mother and send the evidence to her openly. Was he going to tear their relationship apart?
Shen spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of decadence and weakness.
"Madam Zhu, did I really do something wrong? Look at how Feng'er and I are estranged now..."
