The maid's road to success

Mrs. Qi listened to the report from the old woman, glanced at Qi Yangchuan who was reading in the house, and snorted coldly. Qi Yangchuan glanced at her and said nothing.

Madam Qi has always known about Jin Yue's existence. She gave birth to a son and suffered a serious injury below. It took her almost half a year to recover. Qi Yangchuan couldn't have stopped looking for women all the time, but she also took her own emotions into consideration. When she first heard about Jin Yue, she was sad for two days. She persuaded her not to quarrel with Qi Yangchuan. Did she really want him to stay with her all the time? There is probably no woman in the world who dares to ask her husband not to touch other women except her.

But after a few days, Qi Yangchuan went to see that woman Jin Yue again. Madam Qi couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked the maid to drag her out in public and beat her up, stripped her clothes and humiliated her severely. Later, although Qi Yangchuan occasionally went back to see that woman, he would be more secretive and would only do so when she had her period. He didn't dare to stay overnight and would come back after he had released his desire.

After humiliating Jin Yue like that, Qi Yangchuan didn't say anything. He just asked her to take care of her body and not to get angry. Mrs. Qi felt that she had lost her status by arguing with a woman of the night, so she let it go. She didn't expect that this woman would dare to come to Qi Yangchuan, so don't blame her for making things difficult for her.

She stood up proudly, and when she passed by Qi Yangchuan, she deliberately threw the handkerchief on his face. He just sighed and didn't really care about it, which made her even happier.

Madam Qi would never have imagined that the next day Jin Yue would be waiting for Qi Yangchuan on the way to the provincial capital. Qi Yangchuan lifted the curtain and looked at Jin Yue, whose face was pale and bloodless from the cold, and asked her why she was waiting here. Was she trying to kill herself?

"I told you never to appear in front of the Madam and make her angry. Did you ignore my words?"

Jin Yue lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and her tone was very soft.

"I know. I don't want to make Madam sad, but I want to say goodbye to you. I am leaving Gongzhou. Simian gave me some money. I plan to live in a quiet place where no one knows me. But I can't bear to leave you, so I want to say goodbye to you for the last time."

Qi Yangchuan didn't feel reluctant to let go of Jin Yue's words. Jin Yue was just a toy for him, so why should he spend so much time on her? But after all, he was her first man, and he had served her attentively over the years. Qi Yangchuan asked the servants to give her 100 taels of silver as travel expenses.

Seeing that Qi Yangchuan had no intention of trying to keep her and was as cold as a stranger, Jin Yue completely gave up. Since Qi Yangchuan had no feelings for her, don't blame her for drugging him and doing something for Simian. Simian was right. If she didn't seize this opportunity, she would be old and ugly in a few years, and Qi Yangchuan would never come to see her again. Then she would end up like the sisters in Hechun Lane.

"I have been blessed by you all these years, and Jin Yue has kept it in mind. I want to give you a purse as a souvenir."

Jin Yue's purse was caught by the servant, but not handed to Qi Yangchuan. She was shocked. He didn't take it? What if he threw it away after returning? Wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous efforts? Jin Yue thought that Qi Yangchuan would at least take the purse in front of her, then she would be successful. Unexpectedly, he didn't even want to take her purse.

As Qi Yangchuan was about to ask people to carry the sedan chair away, Jin Yue knelt in front of his sedan chair and cried sadly.

"My lord, you are so cruel. The first time Jin Yue served you, she brought a purse with this pattern. I thought I would make another one for you before I left. It took me two days to make it. But you are so cruel that you don't even want to give me a thought. Do you really despise me because I am a lowly woman?"

Jin Yue's movements attracted the attention of people around her. Qi Yangchuan couldn't beat her in public, so he impatiently asked the servant to bring the purse to her. He took it in his hand and looked at Jin Yue impatiently.

"Okay, I've got it, you can move aside."

Qi Yangchuan was disgusted by Jin Yue's behavior today. In the past, Jin Yue had always been very sensible. This was the first time she dared to stop his sedan chair, and she almost made a fool of herself. He rubbed the purse a few times, and just when he was about to throw it away, he smelled a faint fragrance. For some reason, it always reminded him of Jin Yue's appearance.

He opened the curtain and looked at Jin Yue, who was standing there in tears, looking at him. He felt sorry for her. After all, she had served him for so many years and never asked for anything. As long as he needed her, she would serve him wholeheartedly at any time. Even if she hurt Jin Yue without knowing the severity of the situation, she would wash and dress him with a smile. He told him to be careful on the road.

When Jin Yue saw him sticking his head out, she knew that Qi Yangchuan had smelled the medicine, so she immediately turned around and pretended to leave. As expected, Qi Yangchuan called her.

"You've been freezing all night. Come with me to the government office to wash up and have a doctor take a look."

Qi Yangchuan got off the sedan chair, walked up to Jin Yue, and pulled her back to the sedan chair. Jin Yue hurriedly declined, saying that she did not dare to disturb Qi Yangchuan from doing his work.

But she was still pulled by Qi Yangchuan to sit in the sedan chair. The guards following the sedan chair didn't know why Qi Yangchuan suddenly changed his mind and pulled Jin Yue back. In the past, the master would vent his needs for Jin Yue and leave immediately. He had never held Jin Yue's hand on the road and let her sit in his sedan chair.

Didn’t the lord dislike Jin Yue because she was a lowly woman who came from a brothel?

Unexpectedly, something even more embarrassing happened. The sedan chair began to shake, and the servants carrying it almost fell to the ground. The guards around hurried over to lend a hand and finally stabilized the sedan chair. Several people helped to carry it. The original four-person sedan chair now had eight people carrying it. The key point was that the groaning sounds coming from it from time to time made these people embarrassed and at a loss. It was the housekeeper who reacted first. He asked the sedan chair to be carried to the nearest empty alley, and waited until the noise inside died down before letting everyone set off for the government office.

At the side door of the government office, the housekeeper quietly reminded both sides that they had arrived, and then Qi Yangchuan's lazy voice was heard. A moment later, he got off the sedan chair holding the tightly wrapped Jin Yue, and went directly to the place in the government office that was specially provided for him to rest.

The housekeeper and the two servants looked at each other in bewilderment. The master had done those things with Jin Yue in the sedan chair without caring about his dignity. It could still be said that Jin Yue seduced him. Then what about him personally carrying her back to the room?

The woman that the master has hugged cannot be found except the young lady and the lady. Even the concubines in the mansion who lay on his shoulders and acted like a spoiled child were scolded by the master. Now he has changed his nature.

Several people were guarding the door. After a while, a familiar sound was heard again. The bed was shaking and creaking. The housekeeper was very anxious outside. Several officials were waiting in the lobby. How could the master be hanging out with a woman? Qi Yangchuan had never delayed his work for personal matters.

After the butler reminded him five times, Qi Yangchuan finally decided to come out. He had already changed into other clothes and looked at the butler with displeasure.

"Go get a doctor to check on Jin Yue. Don't disturb her rest."

Qi Yangchuan at least made it to the lobby and settled some tasks with several officials from Gongzhou, then hurried back to his own small courtyard, which was empty.

"Where are the people? Where did you take them to me?"

Qi Yangchuan kicked a guard to the ground and spoke to a servant so angrily for the first time.

"Sir, Miss Jin Yue said when she woke up that she had an appointment with someone to leave today. We persuaded her to wait for you to come back, but Miss Jin Yue insisted on leaving. We did not dare to hurt her. Don't worry, I sent someone to follow her."

Qi Yangchuan asked everyone to go look for her quickly. For some reason, he became nervous and uncomfortable when he heard that Jin Yue was leaving and was really going to leave Gongzhou. He immediately took people to the house that Jin Yue rented.

Seeing that he was indeed chasing after her, Jin Yue turned around and smiled. The two of them pulled each other for a while, and then Jin Yue was taken away by Qi Yangchuan.

In order to make the play more realistic, she really returned the rent for the house, and Qi Yangchuan directly gave her his outer courtyard on West Street. Coincidentally, Gao Ting, whom he had hosted here at the beginning, now let Jin Yue live here.

Jin Yue was held in Qi Yangchuan's arms. Just as she was about to cry about the humiliation that Mrs. Qi had humiliated her, Qi Yangchuan became impatient and pushed Jin Yue away. Jin Yue thought to herself that she was too anxious. Qi Yangchuan had just inhaled the medicine and had not yet completely absorbed it. She still had to be patient. She just needed Qi Yangchuan to completely dissolve the love-loving medicine in his blood, and she would not be afraid that he would disobey her.

It was just a pity that this man was so heartless. He was so good to his own wife. Even after being drugged, he was able to resist the urge to slander his wife. Jin Yue hurriedly coaxed Qi Yangchuan, and it took a while for him to change his mind.

"I spent two days making this purse. My hands are all pierced with it. My Lord, please keep it well."

Jin Yue hung the purse on his waist and carefully told him not to take it off. There were still 18 hours left. As long as Qi Yangchuan kept wearing it, he would be able to fully absorb the effects of the love medicine. By then, the purse would be of no use, and even if someone really had doubts, there would be no evidence.

Jin Yue didn't think of keeping Qi Yangchuan by her side until the effect of the medicine wore off. After all, if Qi Yangchuan didn't return home, based on Madam Qi's personality, she would definitely bring people to kill her.

Qi Yangchuan is not completely dependent on her at this time, and will not necessarily offend Mrs. Qi for her. Jin Yue will not risk her own name. Qi Yangchuan's cruelty in the past two days has overturned her understanding of this man.

So Qi Yangchuan had to take the purse with him, but he couldn't leave it with her. After watching Qi Yangchuan leave, Jin Yue didn't live in Qi Yangchuan's outer courtyard. Who knew if Madam Qi knew about today's ridiculous events, would she go crazy and take it out on herself? Life was more important, so Jin Yue directly found a secluded sister's house to live in first.

When Qi Yangchuan returned home, Mrs. Qi had not rested yet. She received a secret report from Qi Yangchuan's close friends that Qi Yangchuan had met that bitch Jin Yue this morning and had done something indecent with her in the sedan chair. They were still doing it when they arrived at the government office and he even settled her in the outer courtyard.

She sat on the chair with tears in her eyes and accused Qi Yangchuan. Qi Yangchuan knew that he was sorry for his wife, but he was so horny today that he did some ridiculous things for some reason.

Perhaps it was because the lady's mind had been on her daughter and her parents' home recently, and she had been away from home for a long time, so she seldom visited her aunt at home. Whenever she entered anyone's room, the lady would be concerned. It was true that her ability to control herself became weaker as she got older.

Mrs. Qi looked at him without saying anything. There was an unfamiliar purse on his waist. It should be the purse that Jin Yue had given her as the servant had mentioned. She was so angry that she tore it off and threw it on the ground, asking him to kill Jin Yue immediately.

Suddenly the purse was dropped, and Qi Yangchuan suddenly felt a headache and uncomfortable all over. His blood was boiling and his heartbeat quickened. He didn't know how he pushed Mrs. Qi away, picked up the purse, and then he returned to normal.

When Mrs. Qi saw that he actually pushed her away and picked up the purse that the bitch had given her, she went crazy and started tearing and hitting Qi Yangchuan, yelling at her for betraying her and their years of relationship, and that she was an unfaithful man and a bastard.

Qi Yangchuan also regretted that he had been violent towards his wife. She was so crazy and the servants were still there. He had lost all his face. He thought it would be best to separate them and let Madam Qi calm down, so he straightened his clothes and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

Madam Qi chased him and wouldn't let him leave, cursing him with many ugly words. Finally, the wet nurse who had been serving him saw that the madam had indeed gone too far. The servants were all talking about it, and Qi Yangchuan's face turned dark. Even if their relationship was good, it was not right to humiliate her husband just because he favored another woman. This was not a violation of the seven offenses.

After Qi Yangchuan and his servants dragged Madam Qi away, they persuaded each other and finally he calmed down and went back to the outer courtyard to lie down with his clothes on, with the purse in his sleeve pocket.

Mrs. Qi became more and more angry. She smashed the room from inside to outside, but she didn't feel any better. The servants were afraid that they would get into trouble, so they put all the blame on Jin Yue.

"Madam, you misunderstood the master. You don't know how good the master has been to you over the years. Even though you scratched his face, he still didn't want to touch you. It must be that bitch who seduced the master into doing something ridiculous. That kind of lowly woman who came out of a brothel is the best at seducing men. I don't know how many seductive tricks she has."

When Madam Qi heard this, she immediately thought that Jin Yue was the culprit, so she asked someone to find Jin Yue. She wanted to skin that vixen and let her know who was the real lady of Gongzhou.

The servants knew that the lady was like a firecracker that was about to explode, so they dared not be perfunctory. They took the guards to search all the places where Jin Yue might appear, and even smashed Zhiyu Pavilion. Simian was smart and opened the door for them to search and settled the silver and money, telling them that Jin Yue was leaving and took a lot of money from them. The servants who originally wanted to use Simian to let Madam Qi vent her anger first looked at the heavy silver in their hands and were embarrassed to let her suffer for Jin Yue.

She was told to inform the governor if she knew where Jin Yue was. Simian agreed readily, but she couldn't find Jin Yue after a whole night of searching.

However, the servants in the mansion were afraid of being punished, so they randomly picked up a few women who were close to Jin Yue and had not been bribed yet and brought them back. The next day, Jin Yue found out that the sisters she interacted with were taken to the prefectural mansion by Madam Qi, stripped naked, beaten severely, and had their faces scratched and thrown on the street.

Although the group of women were not innocent, they were beaten naked and thrown into a busy street. Their faces were ruined. How could they survive? They were killed in the street.

When Qi Yangchuan woke up in the morning, he heard that his wife had sent people to search for Jin Yue in the middle of the night, but they failed to find the real person. As a result, four well-known women of low status were forced to death. He knew that something was wrong at that time, and he went back to the inner house to scold Madam Qi for her inconsiderateness.

At this time, how could Madam Qi listen to his great principles? She just thought that he felt sorry for that bitch Jin Yue, and couldn't bear to leave those four vixens, so she fought with him. The servants had a hard time pulling Madam Qi away. Qi Yangchuan thought that Madam Qi was crazy.

He slapped her in the face, told her she was unreasonable, and then fled to the government office, leaving Madam Qi alone, covering her slapped face and threatening to commit suicide.

The mistress of the inner house was thinking, how could the servants really dare to watch her get into trouble? They tried to stop her and tried to persuade her. It was really a chaotic situation.

The servant couldn't help himself and went to find Qi You to help mediate, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi didn't listen at all and even said that Qi You was an extrovert and was helping other sluts.

Qi You couldn't bear to hear such words, so he stood up and spoke to his mother.

"Mother, you can just make a scene. Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines and many children? My father has thought of your love since childhood and has taken your face into consideration. He doesn't visit the two concubines once a month, for fear that you will be angry. People outside say that father is henpecked. Now you have found a girl from a brothel and you are making such a scene? Anyway, you can't enter our house, why do you have to make such a big scene? If you continue like this, father will not only be tired of it, but people will say that you are jealous, which will be bad for my brother. Even my grandfather will have to take you back to teach you the rules."

"Whose mistress would fight with her husband for a flower girl, making the whole city know about it? Look at what you are like now. Don't say that daddy doesn't like you. Who in this mansion likes you? Sooner or later, you will use up all of daddy's affection for you."

After Qi You finished speaking, he didn't want to stay any longer. After his maid left, Madam Qi was left lying on the bed and crying.
