The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 403: Life is full of despair

Xiao Shubai returned home in a dishevel, with messy hair, scratched face, and even one of his shoes missing.

The servants in the mansion said behind his back: "Those who know about it are from the Xiao family, and those who don't know about it think that someone gave him a gift outside..."

The servant's words became more and more unpleasant, and in the end he even said that the Second Madam did not return home immediately after leaving the Xiao family, and that she had indeed had someone do something to her outside.

When the old lady heard this, she was almost furious. She immediately told Jun Tao: "Tie up all those who talked nonsense and beat them up. If they continue to talk nonsense, cut off their tongues! Xiao Shubai is still the second wife of our Ye family. If this gets out, how will the reputation of the First-Rank General's Mansion be saved? Go quickly! Arrest them all!" Jun Tao hurried to arrest people.

Xiao Shubai walked all the way back to her courtyard. Jinxiu rushed over to her when she saw her return. She became anxious when she saw her wife like this. "What's going on? What happened to the lady? The fourth lady didn't let me get in the car, and the doorman also detained me in the mansion and wouldn't let me go out. I had no choice but to wait for the lady to come back at home. But why are you like this?"

Xiao Shubai had endured it for a whole day, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Jinxiu quickly helped her into the house and sat her down, then asked someone to prepare water for her bath, and then she came back to carefully look at the wounds on Xiao Shubai's head and face. Only then did she realize that they were caused by someone scratching her.

"Who dares to be so cruel to you, Madam?" Jinxiu was shocked. How could she get beaten after visiting the Xiao family? Who in the Xiao family could... Wait! There is a Gu in the Xiao family, and that Gu is a good fighter! "Is it Madam Ningguo?"

Xiao Shubai gritted his teeth and nodded, "Who else could it be if not her? I thought she had grown older and her temper had become more restrained over the years, but I didn't expect that she was even worse than before. I didn't agree with this marriage when she didn't get married, but she was not born from the same mother. Besides, my father had already passed the title to him at that time. He was the head of the family. Who could say no when he nodded? Who would have thought that he would fall in love with such a piece of shit? Who would have thought that the daughter of the Gu family, a family of scholars, would be such a shrew!"

When Jinxiu heard her talking about Gu Chunhe, she also shuddered. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot from Gu Chunhe over the years, and she was always frightened whenever she mentioned him.

But she still couldn't figure it out: "Why did Gu Chun and her beat Madam? Was it because of that banknote? The fourth young lady came back first. I heard that our old lady paid all her fortune to pay off the banknote. But that was all paid with her own property, not a single penny from the Marquis's mansion! What the hell are Gu Chun and her doing?"

Xiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment. She told Jinxiu: "Because they found the dowry of the concubine from that year in my mother's room, my half brother turned hostile on the spot, but he didn't say anything because there were outsiders in the house. Gu Chunhe quickly sent Ye Wenyan and the others away, but when I was about to follow Ye Wenyan into the carriage, he pulled me out of the carriage."

She shuddered violently when she said this, "Jinxiu, where do you think Gu Chunhe got the strength from? The three generations of the Gu family are all scholars. Shouldn't such a family be well-educated and weak? But she carried me all the way from the gate to the front hall, then threw me to the ground and asked the servants to fetch a fire stick and started beating me."

"How could I hit you?" Jinxiu couldn't figure it out. "It was the old lady who stole the concubine's dowry, why would I hit you?"

"Because she didn't dare to hit her mother, she hit me to show her!" Xiao Shubai gnashed his teeth in hatred, "But don't think that she didn't dare to hit her mother because she was afraid of being accused of being unfilial and should be divorced for beating her mother-in-law. She didn't hit her because her mother was old and she was afraid that she would beat her to death if she didn't control the severity of the blow. Gu Chun and she are simply devils, just like Ye Wenyan, they are both devils! How can there be people like them in the world? Jinxiu, tell me, how are you going to live in the future?"

Jinxiu didn't know what to do. Just like Xiao Shubai said, the Ye family had Ye Wenyan, which was already a problem, and the Xiao family also had Gu Chunhe. Both ends were blocked. How could she get through this?

Xiao Shubai felt that life was full of despair. How could things suddenly become like this when they were once so good?

She hugged Jinxiu and cried bitterly, but she was thinking in her heart, how could she have become so poor that she could only hug a maid when she cried?

While he was crying, he heard the sound of footsteps in the yard. They walked all the way to the door. There were at least three or four people.

When Xiao Shubai heard the noise, he stopped crying and frowned as he asked Jinxiu, "Who's here?"

Jinxiu quickly got up to check, and before running out she helped her master sit on the chair.

Xiao Shubai wiped away his tears with his sleeves, but he could not wipe away the redness and swelling in his eyes, nor the wounds on his head and face.

Jinxiu's voice came from the door: "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shubai turned his head to look, it was Xichun.

Today's Xichun is no longer the maid who was locked up in the woodshed by her. She is now a favorite of Ye Jingsheng. Even though a new wife is about to enter the mansion, Ye Jingsheng still receives much favor from her.

Xiao Shubai hated Xichun to death, but at the same time she saw hope in Xichun. She knew that Ye Jingsheng didn't dare to divorce her because they had a common secret. In order to keep this secret, Ye Jingsheng could give Xichun the status of a concubine, so he also had to keep her position as the mistress of the house for this secret.

She can do what Xichun can do, and she has already told Ye Jingsheng that she has also kept a backup plan, so she doesn't need to be afraid of anything. As long as she is still the second wife of the Ye family, she has the final say on how the second wife can live after entering the house.

When Xiao Shubai thought of this, he straightened his back again. This straightening made Xichun laugh, and he said, "Second Madam has been beaten like this, how can she think of anything good? Why do you straighten your back when you see me? Do you want to act like a legitimate wife in front of me? Or do you want to suppress me at this time?"

She laughed as she spoke, "Forget it. I know what you're thinking, but I have to remind you. If you really think you're tough, then stand up to the master. You can't do that with me. I still have the leverage. How can you have the courage to put on airs with me? In that matter, we were never equal, and the inequality was that I was on top and you were on the bottom. You have to keep this in mind and don't forget it easily."

Xichun's words suppressed Xiao Shubai's momentum, which had just built up with great difficulty.

Yes, even if she had a backup plan, she would show off in front of Ye Jingsheng. In front of Xichun, she would always be the one who was frightened. Otherwise, if Xichun was unhappy and just said a few words to Ye Wenyan, she would be finished.

But... "But aren't you afraid of death?" Xiao Shubai frowned and asked her, "What good will it do for you if the matter is made public?" Xichun shrugged, leaned forward until she heard it, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's not good, but if I can drag the second master and second lady of the Ye family to take my place before I die, wouldn't it be glorious for someone like me who was born as a maid? I'm barefoot, so how can I be afraid of you who wear shoes?"

After saying this, there was another burst of unbridled laughter.

Xiao Shubai's expression became even uglier. "What on earth are you doing here?"

Xichun found a chair and sat down, then continued: "It's nothing big, I just want to inform you, Madam, that the courtyard I live in has to be renamed. The name of the concubine's garden is too inappropriate. The new wife is about to come in, and if people see it, they will think you are a petty person! So I have to change the name of my courtyard. I thought about it for a few days and I think the name of Ta Yu Yuan is not bad. Ta means to trample on. What do you think, Madam?"

Xiao Shubai was almost mad. "Trampling Yuyuan"? Her courtyard was called Huayuyuan, and Xichun changed it to "Trampling Yuyuan", and even emphasized the word "trampling". Now even a concubine can trample on her, the mistress of the house, at will?

She wanted to say no, but Xichun obviously didn't come to ask for her consent, she just came to inform her.

"I heard that Qiaosuyuan is also changing its name, and who knows what it will be changed to! After all, the old lady also said last time that you gave our courtyard such a name, which is jealous. Jealous people should be divorced! Also, don't expect to threaten the master with anything. After all, I have a mouth. If I insist that you are the only one who ordered me, do you think you will be unable to defend yourself?"

Xiao Shubai's mind was buzzing, but Xichun was still talking: "As for returning the banknotes of Yanhua Palace, Madam, don't be too sad. After all, you didn't lose anything. It was your mother who lost. Alas, otherwise, how can you say you have a good mother! No matter how big a disaster you get into, there will be someone who will clean up your mess without hesitation. Unlike us poor people, if we really get into trouble, we can only pray for good luck. But fortunately, the master loves me more, Madam, don't compete with me anymore. After all, you can't have both your mother and your husband, right? You have to give up one of them."

Xiao Shubai covered his heart with his hands and gasped in anger.

Why can't we have both? Is there any conflict between the two? No?

"Okay, Madam, take a rest! I have to go back, the master is still in my room! I will go and change the plaque for the new courtyard tomorrow. When the new plaque is hung up, Madam, you must go and take a look. According to the rules, you have to give a reward!"

Xichun came and went with a smile, and her laughter could still be heard even after she had walked a long way away.

Xiao Shubai was so angry that he started to cry. Jinxiu could only persuade him again. As she was persuading him, she heard Xiao Shubai ask her, "Where will the new wife live after she enters the mansion?"

Jinxiu said, "The mansion is already preparing for a new courtyard. Although the courtyard is not big, it is the closest to the master's study. It is just separated by a wall. It is said that the master has also had someone open a door in the wall."

If a door is opened, then they are connected together? Xiao Shubai felt like he was going to faint from anger.

Jinxiu helped her up and said, "Madam, there is something even more infuriating..."
