The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The Yongjia Marquis Mansion and the Shenguo Duke Mansion had a quarrel over a prostitute!

This news spread quietly throughout the capital.

When everyone heard the news, their first reaction was - "What? Isn't Yongjia Hou still a little kid? How did he get involved with a woman from the red-light district?"

"What? His uncle?"

"But I heard that he is a homosexual. It is said that he is childhood sweetheart with a general in the Cavalry Battalion..."

"Oh!"

"You are talking about the cousin of Concubine Zhao..."

"What?! Not only did he snatch that prostitute away in the street, he also snatched back to the mansion the daughter of a decent family that the second young master's wife of the Duke of Shen had taken a fancy to and wanted to take back as a concubine?"

"My goodness, where did the Duke of Shen's Mansion get the guts to cause trouble at this critical moment? They are indeed worthy of being a duke family that has been passed down since the founding of the country. Their brains are stronger than those of us small fry."

The emperor's intention to make Xie Yuzhen the queen had been announced several days ago to the whole country. It was also during these few days that the news of Lin Qiao's discord with the Shenguo Mansion became more and more widespread.

Chen Peiluan, who was responsible for the incident, did not receive the follow-up news she had been expecting after hearing that Miss Song and her mother had also entered the Yongjia Marquis' Mansion.

Lin Qiao didn't come to see her.

She simply rescued the two women and used the help of the Yongjia Marquis' Mansion to settle them down. Then she continued to study behind closed doors and occasionally met with her classmates. She had no intention of investigating the behind-the-scenes incident, just like in her previous life... She had never taken herself seriously.

Chen Peiluan was so angry that she smashed countless cups and plates. The entire Shenguo Mansion was divided into two distinct halves. One half belonged to Chen Peiluan, the wife of the second young master. The atmosphere was cold and no one, including Tao Er, dared to speak loudly for fear of accidentally making her upset and angry. The other half was held in the hands of the prince's wife, and she was very happy, as if she had finally seen through the joke of Chen Peiluan, who always claimed to be a hero among women. This made her even more annoyed.

Chen Peiluan, who had nowhere to vent her anger, simply wrote a letter, using the name of the Shenguogong Mansion to get rid of the minor official positions that the grandfather and uncle of the Song family had just bought, and asked someone to ask for the money for the concubine that had been given to his family to be returned. Because the bitter-faced nanny played both sides and made false reports, the grandfather and uncle of the Song family had to bleed a lot and were barely able to live in peace. They regretted it very much, but they could not do anything about the Shenguogong Mansion and the mother and daughter who had already entered the Yongjia Marquis Mansion. They could only hold it in. Not long after, one of them had a stroke and became paralyzed, and the other broke his leg while drinking. The Song family completely quieted down.

But the mansion of Duke Shen was still very lively.

"The Marquis and the Crown Prince of Anguo's Mansion are about to go to war. They will hold a farewell banquet before they leave home. Don't forget it." Tao Ergou poked his head in stealthily to remind his wife whose temper was becoming increasingly bad.

Chen Peiluan had a cold face and said in a cold tone: "I know."

"Um..." Tao Er tentatively stepped out half of his body, "Forget about taking a concubine. I'm not used to too many people in the yard, and we already have a son, right?"

"I'm not good at literature, so why aren't you happy to have a beautiful woman to accompany you?" Chen Peiluan said sourly.

Tao Er shook his head: "If you and I have no children, and we take concubines in order to continue our family line, then it's fine for me. But taking concubines for sex will only harm my reputation... Isn't that what you always tell me?"

"That Chang family kid was known as a child prodigy since he was young. Everyone said he would become a political scholar in the future. After he got married, he loved his wife very much. Even though his wife only had a daughter after a few years, he never mentioned taking a concubine. Everyone said he was a gentleman with a bright future. What happened?"

Seeing that Chen Peiluan just had a cold face and didn't get angry, Tao Er became bolder: "As a result, after he served as an official for a few years, he was suddenly impeached for being dissolute and lustful. Although he had no concubines on the surface, he actually placed several maids in his study. Not only did he not give them status, he also fed them with infertility medicine. He only cared about the beauty of women and ignored the reproduction of his family's offspring."

"That's fine. After all, it's common for men to have a few beautiful maids. But after he had no children, he still wanted to pretend to be a gentleman who loves and cherishes his wife and has no second thoughts in order to gain fame and deceive the world. He is truly a hypocrite, a villain, and unrighteous and unfilial."

"Not long after, he was demoted and thrown out of the capital. Not to mention the position of Bachelor of Political Science, I'm afraid he can't even enter the six ministries again... Didn't you always use this man's fate to warn me? What happened that made your attitude change so drastically?" Tao Er was happy that his wife no longer urged him to make progress, but he also had doubts in his heart. He was afraid that Chen Peiluan was deliberately creating confusion and wanted to teach him some lesson that he should remember.

Chen Peiluan glanced at her useless husband and said, "You don't need to doubt anything. I won't force you anymore."

"Really?!" Tao Er's eyes lit up.

Although she had given up hope on Tao Er, a useless loser, after meeting Lin Qiao in her previous life, Chen Peiluan couldn't help but feel upset when she saw how happy he was. "Really? Okay, do what you need to do and don't bother me!"

"Hey!" Tao Er jumped up happily and trotted away.

Chen Peiluan couldn't help rubbing her temples and asked her trusted maid beside her, "Where is the post from the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion? Take it out so I can see it."

At the same time, in the capital, Zeng Mansion.

"How dare the Anguo Marquisate send an invitation to our family?" After aborting the child, Fu Qingsu, who had returned, already fully understood what had happened to this body.

She first beat Zeng Fu up and extracted a lot of useful information from him. She also realized that she seemed to have traveled through time as the wrong person or had crossed over into another world. At the same time, she also obtained all of Zeng Suqiu's memories and understood that Zeng Suqiu's soul was still there and would appear alternately with her from time to time.

In Fu Qingsu's opinion, Zeng Suqiu was just a poor little girl who was cheated by her scumbag father, stepmother and scumbag man. Although she always liked to read some domineering CEO novels, her attack power was much stronger than that of this poor little Zeng Suqiu.

So after beating Zeng Fu up, Fu Qingsu and Zeng Suqiu communicated by writing notes to each other and agreed to abort the child first.

Although the servants sent by Doctor Zeng to look after Zeng Suqiu didn't care how the siblings quarreled, they would never abort the child. Zeng Fu was also very clear about this. When he was about to watch the show from the side, he was blocked by Fu Qingsu at home, who threatened that if he didn't help, she would blow herself up and they would all die together.

Zeng Fu, who was full of confidence but lacked backbone...naturally became a coward.

While he reluctantly found medicine for Zeng Suqiu and the other girl, he secretly reported them to the capital. However, for some reason, it seemed that all the luck was on the side of the two girls. Before he could send the letter, he was caught by Fu Qingsu.

After being beaten again, Zeng Fu could no longer bear it and finally brought up the issue of his stepmother's marriage to Zeng Suqiu. He said that even if they knew that he was a wandering ghost who had taken over someone else's body, he was still a man after all, and his body still belonged to the Zeng family, and he could carry on the Zeng family's lineage!

Fu Qingsu would never tolerate him. Upon hearing this, she stepped on Zeng Fu's waist and laughed, "Oh my, you don't know yet, you are not the stepmother's biological child at all. She just took you to raise. Before we left Beijing, the stepmother was pregnant. Otherwise, according to your original status as the only child in the Zeng family, would these people watch you get beaten? Would that old man be willing to exile you and me here together?"
