Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The doctor put away the pulse pillow and picked up the medicine box.

"Madam, if it's only one or two months, it's fine, but the young master has been taking it for too long and in such large quantities that I can't do anything about it. Please seek help from someone else."

After the servant sent the doctor out, Master Yu, who had been suppressed for a long time, spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes went black, and his heart was beating wildly.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Yu was frightened and hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Xunmei hurriedly ordered his servants, "Go and get the doctor back before he leaves!"

After a long pause, Master Yu's vision gradually became clear. He waved at the two of them and said, "I'm fine. Let the servant who serves Cheng'er come in."

He knew his son very well, and he wanted to find out who was instigating his son to take Hanshi Powder. If it weren't for the instigation of people around him, he wouldn't have become what he is now.

Soon, all the servants, maids and concubines in Yu Shicheng's courtyard were brought in.

Seeing Yu Shicheng's current state, the servant confessed his guilt before he was even tortured, along with several concubines who had been making trouble with him all day.

"The servants will be dragged away and beaten to death, and the maids and concubines will be sold to lower places. No one is allowed to sell themselves without the permission of the Yu family."

Mr. Yu’s old voice was both cruel and cold-blooded.

The servant was so frightened that he opened his mouth and couldn't speak. Then a smell of urine came from his pants. Madam Yu and Yu Xunmei covered their noses with handkerchiefs in disgust.

Two strong guards came in, tied a piece of rag around the boy's mouth, and dragged him out.

The maid and the concubine fell to their knees, banging their heads on the ground, seemingly unaware of the pain.

"Master, please spare us, we will never dare to do it again!"

"Master, please let us go!"

The lowest place is the lowest-class brothel, where they have to receive customers day and night, and are tortured not only physically but also mentally. The women in there are simply living a life worse than death.

Madam Yu seemed to have thought of something and said quickly, "Let the doctor take their pulses before sending them out."

As soon as she said this, two of them immediately showed anticipation in their eyes, while the others were disappointed.

In the end, only one of the concubines was more than a month pregnant.

Mr. Yu stood up, hobbled to the bedside, and took a look at the son he once had high hopes for. He was ruined just like that!

He was heartbroken beyond words.

After going out, he saw Yu Qiutou, who was pregnant, standing cautiously at the door. He turned to Mrs. Yu and gave instructions.

"Have someone take good care of her and make sure she gives birth to the baby smoothly!"

Thinking of Yu Shicheng who was in a coma and had not much time left, Mrs. Yu agreed with tears in her eyes.

"Master, rest assured. I will do my best to keep the child safe."

Yu Qiutao felt relieved when she heard this. The eldest young master was about to die, but fortunately she still had the child.

Glancing at Fan Yuejia who was standing in the house in a daze, Yu Qiutao was secretly proud that she was the final winner!

Yu Xunmei glanced at Yu Qiutao nonchalantly, what an ignorant fool!

As he was walking, Mr. Yu lost his balance and almost fell down, and Yu Xunmei hurriedly supported him.

"Dad, you have to take care of yourself!"

Master Yu took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, speaking unclearly, "Amei, this is for you. Dad is tired..."

Master Yu eventually fainted and was carried back by the servants.

The doctor said that he had some blood disorder and his brain vessels were blocked and he should not worry about it anymore and could only rest, otherwise he would suffer from facial paralysis or hemiplegia.

Mrs. Yu had to take care of her unconscious son and worry about Mr. Yu, and she was extremely busy.

That day, after meeting with the steward, Yu Xunmei asked her maid to take the account books to the study. After Master Yu fell ill, the study became her office.

She used to hate watching these things, but since she had people and money at her disposal, she finally understood that with power and money, she had the final say on all the rules.

This feeling is so good!

Just as he was thinking about it, he was suddenly blocked at the door of the study by a man in armor.

Yu Xunmei snorted disdainfully, "Yu Shida, you are so filial. You come to see my father again?"

"I have something to talk to you about." Yu Shida's eyes swept over her unscrupulously.

"follow me."

Yu Xunmei took the lead and walked into the study room, pointing at the table and saying to the maid, "Put the account book here, you can go out."

The maid looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, and left the study without glancing at the account book, closing the door behind her.

Seeing the maid leave, Yu Shida stepped forward, raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly, "Why? You turned hostile after putting on clothes. How did you beg me in the first place?"

"I'm busy today. Why are you here instead of staying at the military residence?"

Yu Xunmei walked around him, sat on the chair, and looked at him with her hands clasped.

Yu Shida sat on the table, reached out and lifted her chin, and pecked it hard.

"I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do, you cruel woman!"

Yu Xunmei chuckled, her eyes moving around, her gorgeous face was so beautiful and flamboyant, there was something indescribably captivating about it.

"Don't forget, I should call you brother. This is the Yu family, there are many people and many gossips. Be careful next time and don't let anyone catch you."

Neither her mother nor her elder brother knew that Yu Shida was her father's concubine's son. He was raised by a member of the clan since childhood and took charge of the military headquarters of Nanzhou Prefecture when he grew up.

I didn't expect his father was so shrewd. His own son was in charge of the entire family, while his concubine's son was in charge of the military headquarters.

Yu Shida was stunned for a moment, "You know?"

"Yes, my father told me himself." Yu Xunmei said seriously.

"So, did father say when we will make it public to the tribe?"

Yu Shicheng was about to die, and Yu Shida began to hope that his identity would be recognized and he could return to the Yu family with dignity.

"That's not what I said." Yu Xunmei lowered her head and looked sad. Her voice was muffled. "But it will be soon, you know."

Yu Shida couldn't bear to see her sad, so he reached out and hugged her in his arms, "Don't be sad, I will still protect you in the future."

"You are the best!"

"Oh, right." Yu Shida pushed her away, with a hint of affection in his eyes, "I almost forgot the main thing. You always make me lose control. It's the end of the year, and the soldiers and the troops have to be paid."

"Don't worry, I've asked the manager to calculate it, and it will be distributed in a few days." Yu Xunmei said.

Yu Shida kissed her on the face and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of the interior, and I will be in charge of the exterior. Together, we will make the Yu family even stronger!"

Yu Xunmei waved at him impatiently, "It's okay, just go back."

"Father will find out about your childhood sweetheart sooner or later. Do you want me to do it for you?" Yu Shida gestured with his hand on his neck.

Yu Xunmei thought for a moment and said, "If you mind, just deal with it."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

After finishing their discussion, the two of them stayed in the study for a while before Yu Shida reluctantly left the Yu family.

Nanmanfu

The winter in the south is not cold. It is already the end of the year and there is still no snow.

The autumn weather is clear and crisp, the sunshine is warm and soft, and the breeze brings only a slight coolness.

Yun Mo held Yun Nineteen in his arms and played on the city wall. Yun Nineteen, who was almost half a year old, slept much less and became lively and active.

"Master, look, are those carriages the return of Master Wu and his men?" asked the secret guard on duty in the watchtower.

Yun Mo looked carefully and saw that besides Wu Peng, there were also the secret guards he sent out sitting outside the carriage.

"Yes, it's them. Quick! Open the city gate."
