Chapter 232 Congratulations, you won the prize!
After spending a month together, Qian Zheng had figured out Ran Qingxuan's temper. It would be fine if he spoke nicely to her, but if he used force, she might really just let it go. After all, saving people was not her job.
But before Ran Qingxuan could say anything, the women of the Gu family became unhappy.
"Sixth brother's wife, don't worry about it. There is no good person in the Li family. You might save someone, but they will ridicule you in return!"
"That's right, don't let Zhao Chunxiu curse you for nothing!"
The second and eldest sisters-in-law tried to persuade them, and the officials also looked unhappy, especially Bu Wei.
What they said was true. After all, Zhao Chunxiu would really do such a thing.
"Bah, you should mind your own business, and it's best not to interfere in our affairs. Our Yuan'er didn't give her a concubine certificate, and this Lin Xue'er is our Li family's concubine.
Even if my son died, they still have to observe mourning. Besides, shameless bitches like them deserve to be beaten to death. It is not your turn, Ran Qingxuan, to intervene! ”
Hey, as soon as these words came out, Ran Qingxuan became popular instantly.
"What's wrong with me? Am I not a human being?"
The women in the Li family team who were still crying about their tragic fate immediately stopped crying and turned to look at Ran Qingxuan who was speaking.
Even the Gu family, who always knew that Ran Qingxuan would say shocking things, looked at her in shock.
"I know concubines are inferior to wives, but if your son hadn't been unable to control his third leg, how could they have become concubines?"
"If this world is fairer to women, who would be willing to become a concubine? Isn't it good to be a wife?"
These words seemed to open the tear glands of several women, and the woman who had just agreed with Lin Xueer immediately burst into tears.
"She's right. If you can marry someone and become his legal wife, who would be willing to be inferior to someone else all their life and live by vying for favors by any means necessary?"
"I didn't want to be a concubine at all. My parents accepted 20 taels of silver from Li Yuan and sold me to him as a concubine in order to help my brother find a wife.
Why should my brother marry at the cost of my whole life? ”
The two women who were speaking sobbed and covered their faces with their hands while crying. The other three also pointed at Zhao Chunxiu's nose and cursed her.
"It's all your fault. I was originally just a maidservant in your room. It was you who said that Li Yuan should make me a concubine and a co-wife as long as I gave birth to a child. What happened?"
"In the end, it was only because Li Xinyuan looked at me a few more times that you felt unhappy and sent me to your son's bed!"
"How could you be so vicious? I was almost old enough to leave the house, but it was you who ruined me..."
The woman cried and didn't care what was on the ground. She grabbed it and threw it at Zhao Chunxiu.
The other two looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. The atmosphere had already become so tense that if they didn't take the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction, they might not have another chance later.
The two men looked similar, and they huddled together to denounce the culprit Li Yuan.
"We two sisters were originally just maids who served Li Yuan in washing and brushing his teeth. He forced us to...
The beast Li Yuan died too early, otherwise my sister and I would have killed him with our own hands to vent our anger! ”
Ran Qingxuan did not choose to believe them immediately. After all, the similarities between them were too consistent.
Among the officials present, there were several who had concubines at home. It was the first time for them to realize that even concubines could be forced to do things they did not want to do.
It is difficult for ordinary people to get married, let alone have concubines.
If they didn't hold an official position, they probably wouldn't have the spare money to take concubines.
But more often than not, the elders in the family hope that the men in the family will have many children and many women and many bellies, without ever considering whether the women themselves are willing.
Two of the officers turned away awkwardly, trying to avoid the scrutinizing eyes of their colleagues.
Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath and walked forward under Qian Zheng's ashamed gaze.
Seeing that Ran Qingxuan was about to treat Lin Xueer, Zhao Chunxiu could no longer sit still.
"I don't care where you heard this nonsense from. Anyway, Lin Xue'er is still my Li family's concubine. I have the right to decide her life or death."
Qian Zheng already had a concubine at home, and her mother spent ten taels of silver to buy her for him. Now, after hearing the women's words of helplessness, he finally understood why the concubine in his family had always been so obedient.
If a concubine dares to overstep the boundaries or does anything that is not satisfactory, the wife or the mistress of the house has the right to decide the concubine's life or death.
Beating, scolding and humiliation are minor matters, but the more serious consequences are likely to be sold to a brothel or beaten to death.
Ran Qingxuan indirectly changed the rigid views of these men towards concubines. When they heard what Zhao Chunxiu said, they immediately felt that she was not a human being.
After being beaten for no apparent reason, Zhao Chunxiu covered her injured area and shrank behind Li Si.
Compared with her arrogance just now, she was no different from a misfired firecracker at this moment.
It just looks scary, but in reality you can't even fart!
Seeing that she had calmed down, Ran Qingxuan walked forward to treat Lin Xueer.
Fortunately, the person was only knocked unconscious, and after treatment, Lin Xueer finally woke up.
In a daze, she heard the argument between several people. As for the treatment of Ran Qingxuan, she just turned away silently with red eyes.
However, the moment her hand touched Lin Xueer's pulse, Ran Qingxuan immediately put away the carelessness on his face and looked at her seriously.
After Lin Xueer noticed her gaze, she looked at her in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ran Qingxuan withdrew his hand and slowly helped the man sit up. His movements were very careful, which stunned everyone present.
Zhao Chunxiu had no idea what Ran Qingxuan was up to, so she plucked up the courage to speak in a sarcastic tone.
"She's just a concubine, but you really treat her like your king!"
Ran Qingxuan didn't get angry but laughed instead. He snorted coldly and said calmly with his hands across his chest.
"She is indeed the king of heaven, but she is not mine, but yours, Zhao Chunxiu's!"
"What nonsense..."
"Congratulations, Zhao Chunxiu, Li Xinyuan, your Li family has a successor!"
"What?"
"What did you say?"
Two voices sounded at the same time. Zhao Chunxiu was very surprised, while Li Si was in disbelief.
"You said Lin Xue'er is pregnant?"
Zhao Chunxiu didn't hide anymore, she rushed forward with a smile on her face.
This situation was beyond everyone's expectation. Who knew that one of the concubines who escaped from the Li family was pregnant, and it was after Li Yuan's death...
Zhao Chunxiu originally thought that God was unfair in letting her son die early, but she didn't expect that less than half a month later, God would repay the Li family in this way.
Even Li Xinyuan, who had been pretending to be dead, walked forward and looked at the confused Lin Xueer with joy on his face.
"Ran, how long has Lin Xue'er been pregnant?"
"About a month and a half..."
Although he didn't want to answer, Ran Qingxuan still said it reluctantly.
Before Zhao Chunxiu could cheer, Lin Xueer, who was sitting on the ground, started beating her stomach like crazy.
Before the Li family could react, the women of the Gu family rushed forward to stop them.
