Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1226

After a few rounds of exchanges, Shi Chengxuan became arrogant again. But he was poor, and his aloofness was not proportional to the money he held.

Tang Chujun only gave him 100 taels of silver every month through Wanli Money House. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he might give him 120 taels.

But how could this be enough for Shi Chengxuan? He also had to support so many concubines and children, and there were many expenses in the house.

Shi Chengxuan floated back and forth, and each time he said, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. I came to inspect Ganzhou on the orders of the emperor." In the end, he himself couldn't tell the truth from the false, as if he really was the imperial envoy who came to investigate openly and secretly.

He was actually very happy floating around, but he scared his concubines.

Among the concubines who followed Shi Chengxuan to Ganzhou, the most honest and obedient one was the oldest one, Wang.

In fact, she was not a concubine, but a maid. She had no children, so she could just muddle through life, which was bearable.

The other few, Qiu, Wu, Zhou and Wen, all have children and think more comprehensively.

Moreover, having lived in the capital for a long time, he had a broad vision and had seen the world, so he felt that...the Second Master was going to get into trouble again.

Among these people, Qiu was the most active. She was suffering every day in Ganzhou, and she missed Tang Chujun every day.

She hated herself for having such high expectations of the Second Master. Why did she think that she would have to rely on men in the end?

In the end, the quiet Han concubine was the smartest. She took her son to Tang Chujun early and got the second master's letter of release. If she meets someone she likes in the future, she can get married. If not, she can live with her son for the rest of her life.

It's better than being like them, hiding in Ganzhou with a man who can blow cows away, not only seeing no hope, but also having vague signs of impending disaster.

The thing that the four concubines are most distracted about now is being favored by the emperor. Once they see through and despise a man and find that he is unreliable, even the affairs between men and women become boring.

What do you mean by pampering? What do you mean by pampering! Don't come and get close to me! The four concubines are now not paying attention to Shi Chengxuan. They have nothing to do all day long, so they gather together to discuss how to return to the capital to seek refuge with their mistress Tang Chujun.

Others may not know how much Shi Chengxuan weighs, but don’t they know it either?

Even how to lie to the Wen family when he returned was taught word for word by Qiu.

Now, seeing that the Second Master is three-quarters sober and seven-quarters drunk all day long, and even bragging that he is the secret "imperial envoy", the concubines are angry and afraid.

This day was another day when the Second Master went to the Ganzhou prefect's house to brag. Aunt Qiu summoned the other three aunts who had their own ideas to her courtyard and said seriously, "I've thought about it. There's a big knife hanging over our heads. Sooner or later, we'll die. We can't go on like this. Let's surrender to the mistress."

Wu was in a dilemma. "How can I surrender? Madam is no longer our mistress. How can she care about our life or death?"

Zhou said, "That may not be the case. Although Madam is not our mistress, she is still the mother of the young lady and the young master. If the second master commits a crime, the future of the young lady and the young master will also be affected."

Mrs. Wen agreed, "Yes, Madam will not ignore it. Without Madam as the mistress, this house is in a mess. Now...really, I miss Madam more and more."
