Lu Changqing returned to the room, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription on a piece of paper. He then handed the prescription to Yuan Liu and took out two coins from his own small treasury and said, "Go find a pharmacy and get some medicine according to this prescription."

Yuan Liu took the paper and took a look at the prescription. She recognized all the words on the paper, but when she put them together, she had no idea what these medicines were used to treat.

"Girl, are you really good at healing?"

Lu Changqing pushed Yuan Liu out of the door and urged, "Go get your medicine, don't worry about it."

When Yuan Liu came back with a few packets of medicine, Lu Changqing had already changed his clothes and was waiting.

Yuan Liu handed the medicine wrapped in paper to Lu Changqing, and said with a somewhat proud tone: "Miss, you are so stingy. Why can't you tell me this? I have already asked the doctor. This is your prescription for calming the nerves and helping sleep."

"That's right." Lu Changqing pointed at the medicine bag and said, "Start tonight, help me boil the medicine. If others ask, just say that I have insomnia recently and I asked you to go outside the mansion to buy some medicine for me."

Yuan Liu looked at Lu Changqing in confusion and asked, "Girl, you obviously slept soundly at night, why do you want to drink these things?"

Lu Changqing sighed in a pretentious manner: "Life is too sweet, I want to taste some bitterness."

Yuan Liu: ...

The next day after lunch, Wu wanted to see Lu Changqing.

Lu Changqing had informed Yuan Liu early in the morning and brought the person into the house directly when he arrived.

As soon as Wu Xiang saw Lu Changqing, he began to greet him. After Lu Changqing asked everyone to stand up, he sent Yuan Liu out, then took out a few paper bags from behind and pushed them in front of Yuan Liu.

"These are your medicines. Each paper package contains different medicines."

Then he took out a small spoon that was not much bigger than an ear pick and said, "Twice a day, all medicines should be taken after meals. There are a few lines drawn on the paper, so take a few spoonfuls each time. Come back to me when you're done."

Lu Changqing also specifically reminded people not to mix these medicines together when storing them.

Wu Xiang took the medicine bag and was about to kneel down again, but Lu Changqing stopped him, "Don't kneel yet, I need you to do something."

Somehow, Wu Xiang suddenly felt relieved when he heard Lu Changqing's words.

She was grateful that the fourth young lady in the mansion was willing to rescue them, but she was also afraid of the kindness of the superior who appeared out of nowhere.

Lu Changqing took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the stopper and poured a little powder into the palm of his hand, then tilted his head back and poured it all into his mouth and swallowed it.

Wu couldn't understand what Lu Changqing meant by this action, so he asked, "What does the fourth lady mean by this?"

"Are you usually responsible for serving Bai Mingzhou's food?"

"Yes."

Lu Changqing shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "I want you to feed the contents of this bottle to Bai Mingzhou. Don't worry, this is not a deadly poison. You just saw that I ate it myself."

Wu Xiang swallowed nervously and stammered, "What...what is that?"

"This is a good thing so that he can never bully you again."

Wu Xiang didn't react for a moment, "What?"

"Solve the problem directly at the source and make him unable to be a man."

Wu Xiang widened his eyes in shock and looked at Lu Changqing in disbelief.

Lu Changqing put the medicine on the table and said, "Don't think that my sister-in-law had someone feed you the contraceptive soup, and think that she is the only one at fault. If my eldest brother didn't acquiesce, do you think my sister-in-law would dare to do it?"

Seeing Wu Xiang's hesitation and struggle, Lu Changqing added fuel to the fire, "Don't think that my elder brother treats you sincerely just because he has provided you with food and clothing. If he really is sincere, how come you have been with him for four years, let alone having a child, and you don't even have a name?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The medicine I gave you can only alleviate your symptoms. It will take a long time to cure them. But if you continue to drink the contraceptive soup, even Hua Tuo would not be able to cure your illness. I don't care. It depends on whether you can wait."

Wu Xiang looked at the small porcelain vase on the table, struggling internally. Li Suier's pale and haggard face suddenly appeared in his mind. Finally, he picked up the porcelain vase from the table with trembling hands.

"Take a small amount several times, and put it in his tea or food." Lu Changqing thought of something and added, "If you have menstrual pain in your lower abdomen, you can also eat a little, but don't eat too much."

Wu Xiang looked at the thing in his hand, shocked and suspicious, "Is this really medicine?"

Lu Changqing said with a smile: "What else? If it is really poisonous, would I dare to put it in my mouth?"

Wu Xiang hesitated and said, "Fourth Miss, are you doing this for the Fifth Young Master?"

Lu Changqing was still thinking in her mind who the fifth young master Wu Xiang mentioned was, and finally she realized that the other party was talking about her ungrateful brother in this dimension.

Lu Changqing admitted without any burden in his heart, "Yes, it's for my disappointing brother."

Wu Xiang made up his mind and nodded, "I'll do it! If the Lord and the Mistress get angry with us later, please help us, Miss Four."

Lu Changqing promised solemnly: "Don't worry, I will never let you die. My father cherishes his reputation the most. It is shameful enough that his son is inhumane. If he is notorious for beating a servant to death for no reason, he will definitely not want to be an official anymore."

After saying everything that needed to be said, Lu Changqing asked Wu Xiang to rub his eyes until they turned red, and preferably to hold back some tears, and act as if he had suffered a lot of injustice. Only then did he let Yuan Liu come in and send the man away.

The system said, "Why don't you do such a big thing yourself? What if this is discovered and Wu wants to expose you and say that you gave the medicine?"

Lu Changqing said fearlessly: "Is there any evidence to prove that I gave the medicine? Servants don't even have human rights in this world. Do you think Bai Shiyuan would believe a servant? Besides, what is my personality? I am just a little concubine who can only recite poems and write couplets to show off my elegance. How can I know any medical skills?"

"Have you forgotten the prescription you gave to Yuan Liu?"

"I copied it from a miscellaneous book, and it's just a recipe for calming the nerves and helping with sleep. Those medicinal ingredients are too common. Don't the masters in the mansion drink them all the time?"

"Okay." The system asked curiously, "But then again, why did you let Wu Xiang drug you? Why didn't you just castrate Bai Mingzhou?"

"A good man becomes impotent overnight. This is obviously a sinister thing. Du Hezhi will definitely come to settle accounts with me and Lin Wenqing. But it's different when he drugged Bai Mingzhou. I can personally experience this process. I watched the masculine energy slowly drain away and I was powerless to save the situation. Don't you think it's interesting?"

The system said with disdain: "What kind of bad taste do you have?"

Lu Changqing admitted generously: "It's a bad taste to torture people."

"What if Wu wants to take the medicine and not give it to Bai Mingzhou?"

Lu Changqing shrugged, "I've made it very clear to her. Li Sui'er's today is her tomorrow. I've given her the opportunity. If she still can't grasp it, then she'll be in pain."

The next morning, after Lu Changqing came back from greeting Du Hezhi, Yuan Liu whispered to her, "Something happened at Songtaoyuan."

Songtaoyuan is Bai Mingzhou's residence. Lu Changqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Wu Xiang was caught the first time he drugged someone?

"What happened over there?"

"There was a restless girl who climbed into the eldest master's bed last night, and Madam He was very angry."

Lu Changqing: …

With just a short sentence, Lu Changqing could turn it into a short essay.

The author is not scolding Yuan Liu, but scolding this basic setting that is widely found in modern house fighting novels - that female servants can achieve class advancement through sex, and this method is widely recognized, thus deriving many plots of wives dealing with restless maids.

There was even a very insulting word created for the maids' restless behavior - bed climbing.

This word is very interesting. If we expand its meaning, it means that AA climbs onto aa's bed. AA is active and aa is passive, so aa suddenly becomes the victim.

But is this really the case? Are men really victims in this behavior? Can female servants really cross the class barrier through sex?

The answer is NO! NO! NO!

The ancient nobles were not fools. How could they leave such a convenient shortcut for lower-class women to cross classes?

Take the current world and modern civilized society for example. In civilized society, what is not illegal to kill in your own home? Poultry and livestock.

To put it another way, in today's world, servants in the eyes of the nobles are no different from modern poultry and livestock.

I hate to use such an insulting metaphor, but that is the truth.

In the eyes of these nobles, these female servants are not even human beings, so why do they think they will definitely get rewards or compensation after having relationships with noble men?

Isn't Bai Mingzhou a living example? Did Li Sui'er and the others get anything other than illness?

What we got was the thorough sexual exploitation of the lower by the superiors, and this kind of exploitation was allowed, recognized and even encouraged by the society and the system.

It was obvious that Bai Mingzhou relied on his status to implement class oppression and sexual exploitation on the girls around him, but in the eyes of some people, it seemed that the girls were actively seducing men for their own benefit.

This is definitely a case of reversing the identities of the perpetrators. It was clearly Mingzhou who was the oppressor and the evil party, but in the end he was whitewashed as a victim.

What a poor boy! Such an innocent big boy! He was actually schemed against by a few low-level servants with bad intentions.

Why don't you girls behave yourself? Why do you appear around my son's man? Why do you leave two strands of hair on your forehead to look like a prostitute and seduce my son's man?

You actually said you were forced? How is that possible? My brother is a true gentleman who can remain calm even when a woman's beauty is in his arms. It must be you, a vixen, who offered yourself to him.

My good brother was bullied by you bunch of vixens. You are really out to get what you want. You girls really deserve to die!

It's really ridiculous! The exploiter is sexually exploited by the exploited!!!

What is this?

It is clearly the exploitation and oppression of women by men, but some people have distorted it into an exchange of interests between lower-class women and aristocratic men, or even the exploitation of men's interests by women.

This is a glorification of exploiters, a celebration of patriarchy, a disregard for women's suffering, and a degradation of the lower classes.

Lu Changqing pinched his brows and asked, "How is that girl now?"

Yuan Liu curled her lips and said, "When I was serving tea to Madam He this morning, I accidentally knocked over the teacup, and now I'm being punished to kneel down."

"My eldest brother didn't say anything?"

Yuan Liu shook his head. "I haven't heard of that. I'll go ask someone right now."

Lu Changqing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't ask about what happened in Songtao Garden."

Yuan Liu thought he could chat about some big gossip with Lu Changqing, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cold. He responded and turned to go to the kitchen to serve breakfast to Lu Changqing.

Wu Xiang knelt on the ground in fear, bowing his head as he listened to He Guiyi, who was sitting at the top, scolding him.

"I'm not the kind of person who can't tolerate you, but you have to know your limits. It's best not to have thoughts that you shouldn't have. Put yourself in the right place. Don't think that you can act like a big shot in front of me just because you're in the eldest son's room."

He Guiyi took a sip of tea from the teacup, then gently placed it back on the table before saying, "Remember your identities and abide by your rules. If anyone dares to disrespect me again, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between you and the eldest master."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions!"

Wu Xiang and his companions crawled on the ground, responding tremblingly.

Feeling a shadow passing above their heads and hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Wu Xiang and his companions dared to raise their heads.

After helping Li Suier up from the ground, everyone's eyes turned to Ya Hao, who was kneeling in the yard with swollen hands.

This was the reward she received for serving the eldest master last night, a new name like her own and a beating.

Wu Xiang found it funny that the eldest son, in order to show his wife how much he loved her, gave these concubines these insulting names to show that he didn't care about them.

But shouldn’t true love mean loving only your wife in this life, with no other women around you?

Now it seems that what the fourth girl said was right. The source of everything is the eldest young master. Thinking of the white medicine powder in the porcelain bottle in the room, let's start from tonight.

Lu Changqing was copying calligraphy when Yuan Liu ran in from outside with an excited look on his face.

"Girl, there's trouble ahead again!"

Seeing Yuan Liu's excited look, she guessed that there must be a joke in the main courtyard.

"tell me the story."

"The third lady and Madam He had a quarrel."

Lu Changqing didn't stop writing and asked without raising his head, "Why are you arguing?"

"Guess what? The maid who served the eldest master last night was actually someone close to the third young lady!" Yuan Liu exclaimed in a low voice.

Lu Changqing was not surprised at all. In the plot, Bai Xing liked to send maids to her eldest brother. She could not accept that her father favored his wife and killed his concubines and found other women besides her mother. But she could accept that her eldest brother had a lot of concubines and roasted her eldest sister-in-law on the fire.

"Mrs. He blamed the third young lady for being uneducated and interfering in their affairs. The third young lady explained that she went to see the eldest young master yesterday and found that there was no one around to serve him, so she sent her maid over."

Lu Changqing asked: "Did the two of them fight?"

"No, the mistress was invited away, and when I left, Madam He was being scolded."

Lu Changqing knew without asking why Du Hezhi scolded He Guiyi. It was simply that as a mistress she was not tolerant enough.

It's clearly a man's problem, but in the end it's always the women who get blamed.
