Half an hour later, Xu Wen, who was sitting in the outer room, waited for Sheng Huairen to return home. Sheng Huairen, who looked even more feminine than before, hurried into the room and asked, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Well, Sheng Huairen's voice even became sharper from its original deep voice. It must be too difficult for such a man to make a woman pregnant.
Concubine Hong came out from the inner room, swaying her round body and greeting Sheng Huairen shyly: "Second Master, you are back. I pay my respects to you." Her round body could not bend down at all, and she was supported by the two maids beside her. She nodded and stood up.
Sheng Huairen lifted his robe and sat down, ignoring Aunt Hong and looking at Xu Wen, waiting for her answer.
Hong Yi Niang approached Sheng Huairen first, looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Second Master, I am pregnant. It has been two months."
The tea he had just taken a sip of spurted out, and Sheng Huairen threw the teacup in his hand with a sullen face. He then stood up and was about to scold Aunt Hong: "You..."
Just as he said a word, he suddenly changed his mind, pulled up the corners of his mouth into an ugly smile, and waved to Aunt Hong: "Come here."
Holding Hong Yi Niang's arm tightly, Sheng Huairen said word by word: "Good, very good, very good."
Hong Yi Niang was in so much pain from being clamped that she was about to cry, but she didn't dare to move. She was always good at observing people's expressions, and she could clearly see that Sheng Huairen was not happy at the moment.
Afterwards, Sheng Huairen instructed those around him: "Send Concubine Hong back properly."
When only Sheng Huairen and Xu Wen were left in the room, Sheng Huairen's face suddenly fell. He grabbed the teacup on the table and was about to throw it again, but Xu Wen stopped him: "Second Master, this set of teacups is my dowry. If you are unhappy, go back to the outer courtyard and make a scene."
Holding the teacup tightly in his hand, Sheng Huairen asked with a heavy breath, "Find out all the people around Aunt Hong."
After Xu Wen clapped her hands, Madam Liu came in with Lantian, the personal maid of Concubine Hong. Sheng Huairen felt very ashamed and lowered his head to Xu Wen and said, "Can you let me handle this matter?"
Xu Wen nodded without comment, then helped Liu's mother out of the side room. After Xu Wen came out, she stood at the door for a moment until she heard a woman crying and a man roaring from inside, then she slowly left. Along the way, Liu's mother told her everything.
"Miss, you don't know that Aunt Hong is so bold. She even dared to go to the temple to pray for a child. According to Lantian's confession, she went there three times." Mother Liu said in a low voice.
Xu Wen was a little surprised. How could she really get pregnant by praying in a temple? She thought about it and asked, "Is that temple really that effective?"
Mother Liu blushed awkwardly and said, "Of course it works. That's not a legitimate temple at all. That..." Mother Liu leaned close to Xu Wen and whispered, "The monks in that temple are all fake. They drug women who want to have children, and after a few times..."
I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the world. Although Xu Wen grew up in a noble family and had seen many dirty things, she had never heard of such a thing.
The two of them walked back to the inner room of the main hall. When Xu Wen finished washing up and was about to go to sleep, Qiu Ling came in with the news: "Madam, all the servants in Hong Yi Niang's courtyard have been sent away. The two maids who served her personally were given a mute drug and sold to a brothel."
Xu Wen nodded slightly, and Qiu Ling continued, "Mrs. Hong was confined to the courtyard by the Second Master, and she wasn't allowed to leave until she gave birth."
What was Sheng Huairen trying to do? He actually acquiesced to being cuckolded. Xu Wen couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. Qiu Ling helped Xu Wen fall asleep.
