The other concubines had either been drugged and were unable to bear children, but Liu was the most astute. She knew that she would not have a good life staying in the Bo's mansion, so she had already prepared to leave.
Only Xiao Bai and the other two knew nothing and did not try to find out more. They only focused their attention on Su Chengang.
"Mom, do you think Su Chen regrets getting himself into this state just for a moment of pleasure?"
"It's too late to regret. I can't say anything now. I can only say ah ah."
"Three of his concubines are already plotting against him. How long can the others hold out?"
“His hard times are coming”
These are the hard times. I am completely lying down now. I can only use one hand, and it is not very flexible.
“Ahhh~”
Su Chengang pointed at Yan Dong with all his strength and asked him to kill the two Xiaobais to avenge himself.
By now, he had figured it out. He hadn't had any thoughts about that in recent days, and the imperial physician had also warned against doing anything intense or emotionally stimulating. He couldn't ignore his health, so he was definitely using medication.
They both deserve to die.
But she couldn't say anything, so she could only point at Yan Dong and then point outside. In fact, Yan Dong understood, but it was just him who wanted to do it yesterday. Others also reminded him, and he also mentioned the imperial physician's instructions. Who can be blamed if he insisted on doing it? He even threatened to replace him if he didn't serve him.
Yan Dong had no idea that he was so desperate because he was drugged, but it was not obvious and he couldn't see it.
"Master, please don't be angry. Your health is more important. Madam will take care of Aunt Bai."
When Su Chen saw that he didn't respect his opinion at all, he was so angry that he threw everything he could get his hands on. His eyes were bulging red with anger, and his mouth was twisted, looking ferocious and scary.
Yan Dong knew that there was no hope for him here with his uncle. Should he seek support from someone powerful? Would the lady accept him?
The most loyal attendant around Su Chengang also started to think about finding another master and was not as attentive to him as before.
His success made him isolated from his friends and relatives, and there was no one around him who could be trusted or used, just like how he had caused everyone around Bai Zhiyue to betray him.
However, the other concubines took good care of him, so he was not suffering too much now.
At the middle of the Si hour, the doorman came to report,
"Someone sent a gift to thank Madam. They said it was from the Chen family."
"Chen Dekai is quite grateful. Yesterday he gave me a token of my connection to the Chen family, and today he specially sent me another gift."
"This man is not stupid. Seeing that I have an ace card, no matter what the reason is, he must have received the will of the emperor."
"But we can't help him in any way, so what's the point of making friends with us?"
"If a connection is useful, use it. If it's not, there's no loss. Remember, a wise person doesn't make friends only when they know they can be used, especially a businessman."
"Oh, is that so? It's about making friends and making plans for the future."
"Um!"
Bai Zhiyue and Qinglian Dao
"Go and accept the gift on my behalf and tell him that I accept his master's kindness. Give the visitor a generous reward and don't be disrespectful."
"Yes, I understand."
After Xiao Bai and her husband went back and took medicine to preserve their pregnancy, they deliberately lay in bed for two more hours before getting up and going to the main courtyard to apologize.
"Please punish us, Madam. We really didn't seduce the Lord. We only followed his orders. He insisted that we serve him. Yan Dong Changfu also obeyed him. Madam, we wouldn't dare to do that even if you gave us the courage."
"Don't you dare? Is the fertility-preserving medicine effective?"
The two young Bais turned pale. Madam actually knew about this. How did she know? This medicine was secretly given to her by Aunt Bai Zhilan, who told her to use it when necessary. She had never told anyone about it.
Even Bai Zhiyue only found out about it yesterday. It was only because the two of them had been serving the uncle together and she couldn't use it alone that she told Zhiyue. How could the lady know about it?
Could it be that the insurance medicine he took when he returned to his residence was discovered?
"Madam, you have wronged us. How could we have that kind of medicine? We didn't bring anything with us when we first entered the mansion!"
"Do you think that since the uncle drank the medicine and it's been a night and they can't find the cause, you can deny it?"
"How can I admit it if I haven't done it?"
"Qinglian, go find some doctors to check the medicine bowls. Then take the pulses of the two concubines. I'm sure they'll be able to get a clear picture."
The two panicked when they heard this. The medicine bowl was indeed confiscated. After feeding the baby last night, they were only concerned about Gou Bo Ye and forgot about the medicine bowl. This morning, they hurried back to their residence to take another dose of medicine. Now they were caught.
"Madam, we~ beg you to spare us because we just want to have an heir."
"Go ask the uncle if he can forgive you! You knew that the uncle's body couldn't stand any stimulation, but you deliberately gave him drugs, causing his condition to worsen. Even if you can escape the death penalty, you can't escape the punishment of life. Why don't you tell the truth and tell me where the drugs came from?"
Seeing that Bai Zhiyue looked determined to punish them, the two were frightened. If they were beaten, the medicine would be wasted and their plan would be in vain.
"We said that the medicine was given by the Bai family's concubine and sent by a maid. Madam, please give us a chance to live because we are sisters of the Bai family."
"Humph! If it were a maidservant, I would have beaten you to death. However, you don't have a bond in the mansion. Since we are both members of the Bai family, I will not be the criminal. I will hand you back to the Bai family for disposal. I cannot keep you in the mansion."
Hearing that they were just going back to the Bai family, they felt relieved. As long as they explained the situation after returning, they would have a high chance of getting pregnant with the uncle's child. Their father and brother would definitely keep them and maybe even raise them well. When they were sure of the pregnancy, they could return to the uncle's house.
With the child by their side, the uncle will not punish them no matter how angry he is, and the lady cannot do anything to them.
In fact, if the case is sent to the government, harming the uncle would also be a serious crime, but at this time Bai Zhiyue does not want to deal with Prefect Gao anymore.
"Hongying will send a letter to the Bai family, saying that there is solid evidence that the people sent by the Bai family harmed the uncle, and the medicine came from the Bai family. Because they are also members of the Bai family, they should come to redeem the people, otherwise they will sue the Bai family as well."
Bai Zhiyue plans to make some money from the Bai family by recycling the waste.
Since Su Chen's demotion and subsequent collapse, the Bai family has only visited once. They've probably given up on the Earl's Mansion and are looking for a better option. Bai Zhiyue didn't mind. After all, the Emperor was collecting evidence of the Bai family's crimes, but there were too many involved, and the relationships involved were so complex that it was difficult to make a move.
The two men, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief, felt their hearts tighten again. The Bai family's money was not so easy to use, and they didn't know how they would have to pay it back in the future.
"Thank you, Madam, for sparing our lives."
"Thank you, Madam, for not punishing me!"
"It's not that we won't punish the crime. It depends on the attitude of the Bai family."
When the Bai family received the news from Hongying, Bai Baiwan and Bai Jinbao were so angry. The story of the uncle had been spread a long time ago. He had lost his fertility due to the scheme of the Rong family. The two dead girls even used this method to plot against the child. They were not plotting against the uncle, but giving Bai Zhiyue the opportunity to plot against the Bai family.
