Xu Jingchen has become even more depressed during this time. No matter where he goes every day, there is a big tail following him, and he can't do anything. He rarely went to the western suburbs. After all, he didn't dare to let Xu Jingsong know about such a big thing. If something bad happened, everything would be lost.
But after all, he is responsible for the western suburbs, and there are still some matters that must be handled by him personally.
There was no other way. In order to get rid of Xu Jingsong, he could only give him a banknote and take him to a brothel. Xu Jingsong was also happy to have money. In fact, Xu Jingsong was still very disdainful of this eldest brother. During the period of following him, he found that Xu Jingchen did nothing more than check the shops for the third prince, take care of the village and other very ordinary things. Things, it seems that the third prince may not take him that seriously.
However, he also saw a new problem, that is, Xu Jingchen was very rich. Xu Jingchen was just a concubine in the house and received very little money every month, otherwise he would not have had what he heard about, cheating his wife out of her dowry and causing the two to fall out.
Now it seems that he has a lot of money on hand, and he is very generous every time he gives him a banknote. Could it be that he has taken the third prince's money here? As a result, he became more and more concerned about this elder brother's actions.
He found that every time the eldest brother gave him a banknote, it was to pay him off, and he must have done something secretly. He also secretly followed him to see what he was going to do, but was eventually thrown away. He was afraid of being discovered by his elder brother, so he had to think of another way.
One day, he pretended to have a stomachache and said he would rest at home for the day. Xu Jingchen was happy to get rid of this big tail and took people to the western suburbs.
After sending his eldest brother off, Xu Jingsong went to his study. He quietly observed from a distance and found a guard guarding the door, so he walked over in a swaggering manner.
The guard at the door stopped him: "Second Young Master, please stay!"
Xu Jingsong pretended to look the guard up and down and said, "Don't you know that I'm working for my eldest brother now? He asked me to go to the study to get something for him, and I'll be out soon."
After all, the guard was a servant of the mansion, and Xu Jingsong was also his serious master. He no longer dared to stop him and let him into the study. Xu Jingsong closed the door tightly and began to rummage quickly.
He didn't find any important documents. At this time, like Xia Qingfeng, he also found the two locked small boxes at the back of the bookshelf. I picked up the box and shook it. One was heavier and made noise inside, while the other was extremely light. I thought it should be some paper.
What's inside? He doesn't have Cang Jian's ability and can't open locks.
He was worried that if it took too long, he would be suspected by the guards outside, so he left the study.
In the next few days, he pretended to have nothing to do and followed his elder brother.
A month passed quickly. During this period, Xia Qingfeng took Xu Xiaoxiao to Chongfu Temple again, and also brought his apprentice Wang Chengwen. Cuiliu's leg is recovering well, and the rest of the time is mainly about maintaining it, and will need to rehabilitate it when the bones have grown back. Xiaoan and Xiaoxi can take care of her.
Cangjian's Liannu was quickly made with Ling Xiaoyu's help, and the steelmaking was also relatively smooth, with the finished product getting better every time.
Everything was going well, but something happened in the Third Prince's Mansion. Ever since Xu Jinyao got the medicine and gave it to Ling Haoxuan, he has become more prosperous. Originally, Xu Jinyao would only take the medicine when Ling Haoxuan stayed in his room. The purpose was to let him only pamper her and get pregnant with the dragon heir as soon as possible. However, no one can stand him coming every day!
At first, Ling Haoxuan would coax him without giving the medicine, but later his patience ran out and he took away a large bottle.
Maybe it was because he felt unsatisfied, or maybe he wanted to show off his abilities in front of the women in the backyard. In short, the more medicine he used, the greater the dosage. Once, as soon as he got up from the woman's body, he felt dizzy and nauseated, and fell under the bed, making the concubine beside him yell.
This frightened the people in the mansion, and they quickly went to ask the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor's diagnosis was that the medicine Tiger Wolf was used too much. This medicine should not be used in the future, otherwise it would cause chest paralysis, which would be dangerous.
In fact, the imperial doctor also diagnosed that the third prince would be useless in that regard, but he did not dare to say it. He just prescribed some medicine, but it had no effect.
When Xu Jingchen and Xu Jingsong finally saw the third prince in the prince's residence, he was simply shocked. In less than two months, the third prince had become so haggard. His face was blue, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were yellow, and he looked listless.
Xu Jingchen couldn't help but step forward, bowed and said, "Master, please take care of yourself and don't work too hard!"
Xu Jingsong also hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, if you have anything to do, you can leave it to your subordinates. I am willing to share your master's worries."
Ling Haoxuan glanced at him without saying a word.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xu Jinyao has been a little on tenterhooks lately, alas! The prince is not pregnant yet, but he is causing a lot of trouble. Although the third prince's overdose had nothing to do with her, after all, the medicine was taken from her. Once the third prince became angry, he would pursue it. How should she explain it? I wanted to put the blame on the two women, but the two women have left the house now.
Thinking of the last time, when the two women gave her the big jar of medicine, they didn't ask for money. They only put forward one condition, which was a deed of sale from them and their families. They said that they had saved some money and wanted to change their lives. Go back to your hometown, buy some land, and live a good life.
The medicine was really not cheap. I didn't have much dowry for a concubine, so I thought it was just a contract to sell myself. If I wanted to get it, I could save a lot of money.
She thought that when she gave birth to her son, she would not have the final say in the entire prince's palace.
At that time, the deed of betrayal was still in Chu Jingru’s hands. She didn't want to talk down to Chu Jingru.
So, one night when Ling Haoxuan had just taken medicine and was in a hurry, she told her about this. How could Ling Haoxuan not agree? Chu Jingru has no use value to him anymore, but the big thing has not yet been completed, so he cannot just divorce his wife and leave her aside to fend for herself. So with a wave of his hand, he said that from now on all the servants in the mansion could be under the control of Xu Jinyao, and then he pounced on her.
She still remembered the scene when she went to Chu Jingru's place. The yard was in a dilapidated state and there was only one maid accompanying her. Chu Jingru was leaning on the couch, lifeless.
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved. I felt so majestic at that time. When she was about to sell herself to Chu Jingru, she didn't dare to say a word and just asked the maid to give her a box.
well! She gave him the medicine, and she released the man from the house. If he was really held accountable, it would be difficult for her to find a scapegoat. Thinking of this, her eyes fell on her maid Taohong.
Huh, one time Ling Haoxuan pushed her so much that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she refused again and again. Ling Haoxuan, who was so angry that she had not yet fully enjoyed herself, took Taohong who was bringing water to the side and said it in front of her... And Taohong has been favored by the third prince ever since. , also became perverse, hum, this bitch... Thinking of this, she smiled slightly, but her eyes were cold.
