The Divine Doctor and the Crazy Concubine: My princess is very cool

Hongxiu remained the same as usual in the mansion, showing no emotion on her face. Two days later, she asked for leave from her mistress, wanting to go back for two days to visit her parents.

Shangguan Qingyun also has a maid named Chun'er, who is very efficient and kind enough to approve Hongxiu's leave.

After Hongxiu returned home, she gave this month's salary to her family.

"Why is there so much less this time?" A woman with a fleshy face, dark skin and a fierce look shook the purse in her hand and said dissatisfiedly.

"Mom, I made some mistakes in the mansion this month and some money was deducted from my salary." Hongxiu said helplessly and didn't know what to say.

"If you ask me, you should stop working in the Shangshu Mansion. You only make so little money a month. Let me find a good family for you to marry into. I think Mr. Guo's family outside the city is a good one. You are eighteen now, which is the best time for a girl. You will get married in the future anyway, so you might as well marry a rich man..."

"Okay, I can get married, but who will pay for my redemption?"

Hongxiu interrupted the woman, feeling extremely aggrieved that her biological mother actually asked her to marry Mr. Guo who lived outside the city.

Mr. Guo is already over seventy years old, but he is extremely lustful. He has many concubines at home, at least a dozen!

There was a regulation in the court that officials were not allowed to have more than four concubines, but Mr. Guo took advantage of a loophole. Although the women in his mansion were concubines in name, they were not registered with the government, so they were only considered maids under the law.

Mr. Guo was a lustful man, and all he thought about all day was bed curtains, so most of the women he had sex with were from brothels.

Due to Mr. Guo's abnormal hobbies, those women would usually be tortured to the point of being half dead or even dying. However, since these women were registered as death indentures by the government, the government would not do anything about it.

Hongxiu never expected that her mother would want to marry her to such a man.

When the woman heard about the ransom, she shut up. The ransom was not cheap and she was reluctant to spend it.

"Old woman, if you marry her off, won't the betrothal money be enough to redeem her? If Mr. Guo likes this girl, marry her off as soon as possible. She's already eighteen years old and still hasn't gotten married. Where's the face of our Wang family?" A man came out of the house and stretched lazily. A woman followed him out. The woman was disheveled and looked like a secret prostitute. Hongxiu didn't even need to ask, she knew what her father had done in the house.

The woman took some money out of her purse and threw it to the girl. The girl didn't say anything, just took the money and left.

Hongxiu really hated her father. She couldn't understand how her mother could tolerate her husband doing such a thing at home.

She looked at her younger brother who was playing outside. His younger brother was already ten years old, but he was unwilling to go to the academy to study. Even now he still could not read or write. Hongxiu shook her head, feeling helpless.

"Okay, I'll just take a day off. I'm leaving. I'll send the money over next month. Forget about Mr. Guo. I don't think he'll live much longer. He's too old to have children. If I can't have children after I marry him, how can I live without a son or daughter? I'm leaving!"

Hongxiu left, and no one in the family wanted to keep her for dinner. Hongxiu always felt that she was better than the maids in the mansion who had signed death contracts. Most of those maids who had signed death contracts were orphans, and they still had parents. But now, what was the difference between having parents and not having parents?

Hongxiu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked away suppressing her grievance.

Hongxiu walked and walked until she came to Xueyue Pavilion. She thought of Xiaohong, her playmate since childhood. After the drought started, her family became poor and sold her here. She went in through the back door and asked a maid to help pass the message to Xiaohong to meet her.

The two found a place to sit down.

Xiaohong had a cold expression on her face and didn't say anything, waiting for Hongxiu to speak.

"Um, Hong'er, how are you doing recently?"

"Yeah, that's good! Why did you come here to see me?"

Xiaohong was very puzzled. Other women would avoid such a place, so why did Hongxiu come here?

"I want to ask you something!"

"You say it."

"I heard that there is a very famous doctor named Lu in the capital, who often comes here to treat you, right?"

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment and looked at her blankly, not knowing how she found out about Doctor Lu.

"Well, yes, Doctor Lu often comes to see us. He is a good man."

"Then do you know where he lives? I...I feel a little unwell and I want to see him."

"I know. Madam Lu is a very nice woman. You work in the Shangshu Mansion. She lives near the Shangshu Mansion."

When Hongxiu heard that Doctor Lu was near the Shangshu Mansion, she was secretly delighted. If the distance was so close, it would be much more convenient in the future.

Hongxiu asked Xiaohong more about Doctor Lu's medical skills, and Xiaohong talked about an incident in Xueyue Pavilion where a girl accidentally became pregnant.

The biggest taboo for the girls in Xueyue Pavilion is to leave the guests' seeds after accompanying them. This is a big taboo, but the risk of abortion is very high. The abortion pills they took in the past may not result in an abortion and leave the baby. Even if the fetus is aborted, it will cause great damage to the girl's body.

But when Doctor Lu took charge, not only was the problem resolved quickly, but the subsequent recovery was also very fast.

The family planning products that Dr. Lu left for the girls also largely avoided the risk of pregnancy for the girls.

Hongxiu knew what she wanted to know, and left quickly without staying long.
