I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 66
"Master's words are wrong." Madam Yu shook Xu Shi's hand, and comforted softly: "The eldest young master is no longer an ignorant and ignorant yellow-haired child. Yes, if you quarrel with the master because of a false title, it will only make the master think that you don't understand the general situation, and in this way, not only will you be disgusted by the master, but even the young master may be affected."

Madam Yu's heart-to-heart analysis finally calmed down Mrs. Xu from her rage. Yes, Qu Dingbang was her son who was born in October. This is a fact that no one can change. What about mother?

The Chen family has been suppressed by her for many years and has no power to fight back. Now she can only rely on Qu Lingxu. That lowly girl has already grown up for a few months, and she should get married in a year or so. She will have her own way when the time comes Make Chen Shi empty again, and even... make her disappear completely!
Thinking of this, the hideous hatred on Xu's face was gradually replaced by a smug smile, and he snorted softly: "Let's take advantage of that bitch Chen for a few days, and when the time is right, my wife must take this account with me." Get all the profits back!"

Not only this time, she will blame Chen Shi for all the obstacles that Qu Lingxu has caused her before!
Seeing that Mrs. Xu finally listened to the persuasion and didn't make a fuss regardless, the big stone in Mammy Yu's heart finally fell to the ground, and she also smiled and echoed: "I believe that it will not be long before the master will definitely To be able to step on the mother and daughter of the Chen family and become the most honorable woman in this general's mansion!"

"Just because of Qu Lingxu's little bastard, she dares to fight with me. I will definitely beat her to pieces!" When Qu Lingxu was mentioned, the hatred in Xu's heart was like a flood that had been unloaded. It gushed out, she clenched her teeth, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Prepare the sedan chair, and follow me to the study to see the master."

"Master, you just promised to be patient for a while, why..." Yu Yu's eyes were red with anxiety, and her speech became a little broken.

Seeing Madam Yu looking at her in panic, Xu rarely showed a sincere smile, "Where is Madam thinking, the master bestowed such a great grace on Dingbang, as the biological mother, I should go to thank you personally, no? Is it?"

Hearing what Xu said, Nanny Yu let out a breath of foul air slowly, and said with lingering fear: "Master, you scared this old slave to death!"

"Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have fallen into the trap of that little bitch Qu Lingxu." Touching her stumped leg that was still aching, Xu said coldly, "From now on, my wife will not be a fool." Will be impulsive again."

When Mrs. Xu arrived at the main courtyard, Qu Liancheng was studying the formation of troops in the study. He frowned slightly when he heard the report from his subordinates. After thinking for a while, he said lightly, "Go and tell Second Aunt that Dingbang is adoptive." Regarding this matter, the general has made up his mind, let her go back to the Jinxiu Pavilion to take care of her, and don't need to come here to pay her respects."

The expedition was imminent, and he really didn't have the extra energy to deal with Xu's crying, making trouble and hanging himself.

The boy who came in to report was called Qu An, who had served Qu Liancheng for many years, and had not taken advantage of Xu's benefits secretly, so he bit the bullet and whispered: "Master, the second aunt said that she brought a small kitchen The newly made kidney bean cake with jujube paste is here for you to taste, judging from Auntie’s expression, she doesn’t seem to be unhappy at all.”

Forehead?
Qu Liancheng's hand holding the pen couldn't help but pause for a moment. According to Xu's temperament, he knew that he was going to put Qu Dingbang under the name of Chen. Displeased?

Because of the doubts in his heart, Qu Dingbang put down his pen, "Let Second Aunt come in."

"Yes." The servant was secretly happy, but he didn't dare to show it, and hurriedly withdrew.

A while later, with the support of Nanny Yu and another maid, Mrs. Xu slowly came into Qu Liancheng's sight. These days, she has suffered a series of physical and mental blows, making Mrs. Xu much older. Not only was she glamorous before Ze's skin became much duller, and the dark bags under the eyes could not be concealed even with a thick layer of gouache, and all of this was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Xu, who had always served others in Israel.

Qu Liancheng glanced at Mrs. Xu, but did not show obvious disgust, but subconsciously turned his gaze away, and said in a concentrated voice: "You are not in good health, you should take good care of it. This season is warm and cold, if you don't Be careful if you catch a cold, it will be uncomfortable."

Are you worried about my discomfort or don't want to see me?

Thinking of the sweet love and concubine love in the past, and seeing Qu Liancheng's indifferent attitude now, Xu could only feel that his heart was severely grasped by a big hand, and he couldn't breathe in pain. Come on, the questioning words were about to blurt out, but at the last moment, I held back and forced a smile, "Master Lao is worried. After a few days of recuperation, I feel much better. Such a great kindness from Bang, as Dingbang's biological mother, I should come to thank you."

Although Qu Liancheng has loved Xu's these years, he also understands that the other party is mean and selfish and can't tolerate others. With an inquiring smile, "Dingbang is your own flesh and blood, don't you feel wronged?"

"As the master said, Dingbang is the flesh and blood of my concubine who was conceived in October. If he can have a good future, the concubine is happier than anyone else. How can I not understand the painstaking efforts of the master." When he said this, Xu's hands in his sleeves were tightly clutching the corner of the table, for fear that if he accidentally forcibly suppressed his emotions, he would completely lose control.

Qu Liancheng benefited from Xu's understanding, and the two have been together for many years, so many friendships cannot be erased overnight, so his tone was much softer than before, and he nodded slightly: "You can think so, why not?" Husband is very pleased."

"My concubine was originally just a wandering rivers and lakes woman like duckweed. Only by being pityed by the master can I have a stable life today. Naturally, I think about everything for the general's house." Xu raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, choking slightly Said: "The concubine knows that I have done many wrong things, so I dare not ask the master to forgive me, I just ask the master not to despise the concubine..."

"What are you thinking about, how can a husband dislike you." If Mrs. Xu made a fuss recklessly, she would most likely be severely reprimanded by Qu Liancheng, but now this weak and helpless look of grievance makes the other party feel guilty Touched, Qu Liancheng stood up and wiped the tears off Xu's face himself, and said softly: "Don't worry, you will always have a place in this general's mansion, and other concubines will definitely not be able to surpass you."

Qu Liancheng's original intention of saying this was to tell Xu that he would not allow Qu Lingxu to harm her, but in Xu's ears, it was understood that she would always be a concubine and would never become a regular sex.

Heartbroken all over the place, but on the face he had to deal with it forcefully, "With the words of the master, even if the concubine dies, I will die without regret."

"Okay, why are you feeling sad again?" Qu Liancheng patted Xu's shoulder lightly, with a soft tone, "My husband is going to go to war soon, let's go to your courtyard for dinner today, Dingbang You are young and energetic, and if you suddenly hear the news, you may not be able to turn it around for a while, as your biological mother, you should persuade him more, so that he can know that you have worked hard for your husband."

"Yes, the concubine knows the seriousness."

The news that Qu Liancheng accompanied Mrs. Xu to the Jinxiu Pavilion soon spread to Jianjia Courtyard. Yun Yi was gently helping Qu Lingxu rub her temples. After hearing the news, she couldn't help but marvel, "Second Aunt is really a Keeping calm, this servant thought she would go to the master to make a scene."

"Do you think she doesn't want to?" Qu Lingxu said lightly with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Apart from making Qu Liancheng feel more disgusted by the noise, it has no effect. It would be better to show a pitiful appearance of resignation, which can save a little favor on the contrary.

"But with the second aunt at the side instigating, will the young master be disrespectful to Madam?" Yun Yi asked worriedly.

What Yun Yi could think of, how could Qu Lingxu have no plans, the reason why she did this was purely to make things difficult for Mrs. Dingbang.

While Qu Lingxu was taking care of Xu's mother and daughter, Leng Yuanxun, who had just arrived in Jiangling, was facing an extremely difficult test. Although the broken dam was blocked in time and the raging flood gradually receded, the hardest-hit In several towns, houses and fertile fields were all destroyed, and corpses that had already emitted a foul smell were floating around in the muddy water. Although some people survived the flood, due to limited local manpower, they could not organize rescue in time. After the people struggled in the ocean for a few days, many died of freezing and starvation, and many of them were injured. The rest of them flooded into nearby counties. It was able to use the surplus food in the government office to support it, so that the victims looted it one after another, causing large-scale riots at one time. The county magistrate failed to dissuade them, but they used government soldiers to suppress them by force, killing many victims in the chaos. trend.

When the situation was in chaos, Chen Xiucheng, the chief rudder of the Red Lotus Sect, sneaked into the government office at night and killed the county magistrate, and then led the congregation to reveal the food in the official warehouse and distribute it to the poor hungry people.

The righteous deed of the Red Lotus Sect is undoubtedly inspiring. The victims of the disaster had a deep resentment towards the court, but now seeing that there is a dead end on the left and right, they rose up and joined the Red Lotus Sect.

Such a blatant act of rebellion is already a blatant challenge to the authority of the imperial court. The magistrate of Qingning Prefecture, which belongs to Lingjiang County, was very angry, and immediately sent troops to encircle and suppress it. The magistrate mobilized a full 5000 troops, but after several confrontations, more than half of them were killed or injured, not to mention destroying the old nest of the Red Lotus Sect, even Chen Xiucheng was not seen.
