Chapter 29 The Second Master is avoiding inheritance!
The idea of borrowing sperm from Xiao Jinghe was almost wiped out by Yu Qinghuan the moment it came into her mind.
He is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the future emperor. He is not an ordinary person and it is not easy to plot against him.
Moreover, at the moment, he had no idea whether Xie Zhili had any other ideas, it was just a guess.
Maybe I was overthinking it.
She withdrew her gaze, stood up and closed the window, no longer thinking about these things. She would wait until she saw the doctor tomorrow to discuss everything.
Outside, seeing the window closed and no one in sight, Xiao Jinghe felt a little disappointed for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and calmly withdrew his gaze.
As the prince, what do you want?
Why would you covet the wife of a minister?
...
The next day, when Yu Qinghuan woke up, she heard Sang Ru say that Xie Zhili and the distinguished guests who stayed at the manor yesterday had already left.
When the doctor was invited, it was already past noon. The food brought by the servants was still placed on the table, and Yu Qinghuan had not touched it. There were also many cakes that Yu Qinghuan liked to eat in the kitchen, as well as two medicine stoves for decocting medicine.
The doctor first took Yu Qinghuan's pulse and said, "Madam, you are fine, just a little bit cold. It won't affect your fertility. You can just take some medicated food that nourishes your Qi and blood. There is no need to worry too much."
Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Please, doctor, please help me take a look at the food on the table to see if there is anything wrong with it."
The doctor was surprised.
Sang Ru took out some silver and stuffed it into the doctor's hand. "My family situation is complicated. My wife has been unable to conceive... Please help me take a look."
Hearing this, the doctor suddenly understood that most of the nearby farms were inhabited by high-ranking officials in the capital. The young woman in front of him must be the wife of a wealthy family. She came to the farm to recuperate because she had no children.
He had seen many of the dirty tricks used by this wealthy family before.
The doctor accepted the silver, took out the silver needles from the medicine box, tried them one by one to confirm that they were non-toxic, smelled them carefully to identify them, and finally tasted all the food one by one.
"Madam, there is nothing wrong with these dishes and pastries."
Yu Qinghuan nodded and thought, could it be that I was thinking too much and misunderstood Xie Zhili?
At this time, the doctor had already poured out the residue from the two medicine furnaces and identified them one by one. Sang Ru's heart was in her throat.
Her wife recently took medicine for her period, and the medicine was sent by the Second Master. If the Second Master takes action at this time... it would be very harmful to the woman's body!
When the doctor finally saw one of the medicine residues, he frowned and said, "Madam, may I ask who usually drinks this medicine?"
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the medicine stove, and then looked at Sang Ru.
Sang Ru walked over to take a look. She didn't understand the residue of the medicine, but her sense of smell was extremely sharp. She would never forget the smell she had smelled, especially the medicine that Yu Qinghuan had drunk.
Smelling the unfamiliar medicine, she was also a little surprised, "Madam, this is not the medicine you drank before."
Yu Qinghuan frowned slightly. The servants in the manor might borrow the medicine stove to boil medicine, but the residue could still be left in the stove, which meant that this medicine could only be taken by the master of the manor.
If it wasn't his own medicine, then it could only be someone else's.
Yu Qinghuan looked at the doctor, "Doctor, is there something wrong with this medicine?"
The man was also conflicted, afraid that it would affect the relationship between the couple, but he accepted the money and after thinking about it, he told the truth.
"This medicine should be used to regulate men's health. It has a very tonic effect."
When Yu Qinghuan heard this, fragments about Xie Zhili immediately flashed through his mind. So, he drank the medicine and that's why he became... even worse?
Sang Ru on the side didn't quite understand.
The doctor dug out a medicinal ingredient from the dregs and placed it in front of Yu Qinghuan, saying, "Although it is a tonic, this ingredient, if I'm not mistaken, should be Jue Yuanzi."
Yu Qinghuan stared at the medicine for a long time. The doctor would not say so much for no reason. There must be something wrong with this medicine.
"Excuse me, sir, what is Jue Yuan Zi and what are its uses?"
The man sighed in his heart, wondering what the secret was that the man of this family had to hide from his partner in such a way.
"Jue Yuan Zi is extremely rare. I only recognized it after seeing it once before. If a man takes it, he can stop sperm and avoid having children in the short term. However, this medicine is extremely harmful to the body and should not be taken long-term."
Sang Ru's eyes widened. Avoid!?
The second master is avoiding inheritance!
Yu Qinghuan almost laughed out of anger. She signaled to Sang Ru with her eyes, and the latter understood what she meant. She gave the doctor some more silver and sent the man away.
In the room, Yu Qinghuan held the medicinal herb in his hand, his fingertips twitching slightly as he pinched out several crescent-shaped marks on his palm.
She stared at the food on the table, her pupils constricted like poisoned silver needles, and a short sneer escaped from her throat. What a Xie Zhili, he openly agreed to the matter of taking over the throne, but secretly he was taking medicine to avoid having an heir.
He clearly had no intention of having a child, yet he still deceived me and made love with him!
When Yu Qinghuan thought about how he teased her those nights, she became angrier and angrier, her face flushed red from being suppressed.
He thought everything was under his control, but he didn't know he was always playing on Xie Zhili's chessboard.
Sang Ru sent the doctor away and hurried back to the house. "Madam, should we tell the old lady about this?"
This second master is so unkind. He clearly agreed to have a baby, but he did this kind of thing behind her back.
If you don't want to have a child, then don't. There are many people with the Xie family's bloodline. Her wife can just pick one who is willing from those cousins.
But this second master deceived his wife and did such a bastard thing. What a beast!
Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and chop Xie Zhili into pieces.
"Don't make any noise for now. Just quietly put these things back in the kitchen. I need to think this over carefully."
Sang Ru nodded, and immediately stuffed the medicine residue on the table back into the medicine stove, covered it with a piece of cloth, and sent it back to the kitchen.
Both the master and the servant acted as if nothing had happened.
It was almost evening. After playing two pieces in a row, seeing that Yu Qinghuan was still absent-minded, Mu Huaian couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about something?"
Yu Qinghuan has been thinking about how to deal with the matter of Xie Zhili. Xie Zhili has the protection of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and it is only a matter of time before he takes charge of the Marquis' Mansion. Even if he tells Wang, it will be of no avail and will only annoy him.
But she couldn't let Yu Qinghuan swallow this grievance.
"To be honest, I do have some things that really bother me."
Mu Huaian immediately poured her a cup of tea, wondering in his heart, could it be that the Marquis' Mansion was making things difficult for her?
Or the Yu family?
He wanted to share Yu Qinghuan's worries, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Yu Qinghuan was silent for a moment, then turned the dilemma before him into another matter and asked Mu Huaian for advice, "If someone is caught in a dilemma between two parties, unable to afford to offend either side but unwilling to accept their fate, how can they resolve the situation?"
Mu Huaian was a man of meticulous mind, and he immediately thought of the people in the Marquis' Mansion who could represent what Yu Qinghuan was talking about, namely Xie Zhiwen's mother, Wang, and his half-brother, Xie Zhili.
His fingertips moved, his eyes fell on the person in front of him, and his heart moved with him.
"If that's the case, we should find another force that can rival these two and use it to help us out of this predicament. Only then can we have a glimmer of hope."
