No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

A day passed and the Fourth Master couldn't sleep at night.

He had also been on duty before. In cases like this where there was still no news after an entire night, it was very unlikely that the child would return safely.

"Geng looked honest in the past, but she was actually treacherous." There was no anger in the Fourth Master's voice, only full of coldness.

He believed that Geng knew Wu Yunzhu's plan, but did not tell anyone in order to avoid taking responsibility.

"This isn't her own child, so it won't do. If it was her biological daughter, would she have taught Wu Yunzhu to be like this?"

Lin Mingyan didn't know how to persuade her. Wu Yunzhu's upbringing was indeed entirely handed over to Geng.

But although Geng loved her very much, he spoiled her.

"I guess since she's not my biological mother, it's not easy for her to teach me harsh words and rules," Lin Mingyan sighed.

Fortunately, she did not soften her heart and accepted Wu Yunzhu's education, otherwise she would be the one in this embarrassing position today.

If you are strict or even physically abusive with your own child, people will say it is for the good of the child.

But this is someone else's child, you can't even say a harsh word to him.

Not only are you afraid that others will say bad things about you, but you are also worried that your children will resent you because of this.

Geng is such a smart person, but she raised Wu Yunzhu like this, isn't it just because she is not her biological daughter?

The Fourth Master could blame her for this, but as a woman herself, Lin Mingyan understood the difficulties involved and did not say anything.

Because if she continued to talk, she would also be responsible. After all, as the legal mother, she should come forward to correct the situation.

Now that I think about it, maybe Geng had this in mind originally.

If she couldn't stand it anymore and went to correct it, she would play the good guy, and Geng would play the bad guy and be the good person.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mingyan was really careless and busy and had no time to care about it.

By the time Geng regretted it and wanted to intervene, Wu Yunzhu's personality had already taken shape and she was difficult to control.

The Fourth Master knew what Geng was thinking after a moment's thought, and he disliked her even more.

"These few people in the harem are useless to themselves," the Fourth Master was really upset. "I thought letting them take care of the children would be of some use."

"Nowadays, there are one or two of them who can't even raise their own children. Why are we still spending money to support them?!"

In fact, when the Fourth Master sometimes looks at the lives of these concubines, he feels that they live better than he and Cha Cha.

They just eat, drink and have fun all day long without having to worry about anything, and Cha Cha is very kind and treats them very well.

That's it, and you still don't raise your children well.

Really, it makes me angry just looking at it!

Lin Mingyan didn't know how to talk to him, so she could only let him vent his anger and criticize everyone.

Finally he stopped and reported the situation outside: "Mingchen has brought people to destroy the strongholds of seven beggars and rescued nearly a hundred people."

"Among them, there are more than 30 children, and most of them have been taken away by their parents or relatives."

"There are about 50 or 60 women, but less than half of them have their parents or relatives here."

"And Mingchen said that even if these women were taken home, they probably wouldn't survive."

"so......"

The Fourth Master didn't expect that during just a small festival, this group of people blatantly kidnapped so many people in the entire month.

So how many people have suffered from these beggars over the past year?

He asked, "What does Mingchen want to do?"

"He said to buy them all and make them his maids," Lin Mingyan held her forehead slightly.

"How many female workers can his small flower dew workshop accommodate?"

The Fourth Master took a sip of tea and rubbed his temples: "Then what good ideas does Cha Cha have?"

Lin Mingyan said, "If he wants to buy it, then buy it first. The most urgent thing now is to find the Dark Cloud Pearl. We can deal with other things later."

In fact, she had an idea in her mind, after all, she knew a little about the spinning jenny.

Although it is impossible to make it directly, there are indeed many smart people who can develop this thing as long as the right path is pointed out.

By then, these female workers will have a place to go.

The Fourth Master had no objection to this and added a lot of people to look for Wu Yunzhu.

And that morning, Mingchen waved his hand and really bought all those women.

As for those who have no family members to pick them up, of course they are willing to follow everyone and sell themselves without asking for money.

He was even more worshipped, after all, he paid for it out of his own pocket and solved all his problems.

"Second Master is so righteous. I am ashamed of myself to be inferior to him~" He flattered him a little.

Ming Chen didn't comment and asked, "Nothing can delay us from finding someone. If we really have to argue with these people, it will waste our brothers' energy."

"Yes, yes, yes," Tuo Heqi nodded, and then said: "By the way, there is a woman outside the door who said she is looking for you. Look..."

If this wasn't a special period, if this woman had asked this gentleman for help, he would have definitely refused.

But at this time, any clue could not be missed, so he had no choice but to come and disturb.

Mingchen thought so too, and immediately stood up and walked out: "Where is it?"

"I'm waiting up ahead," Tuo Heqi replied while leading him.

Mingchen walked to the front with doubts, and saw the gray-brown figure turn around and reveal a kind face.

Even more confused: "Auntie, is there something wrong with you?"

The man looked at him and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Second Master, my husband's surname is Rong, and he was originally the nanny of the Fourth Master's mansion."

Aunt Rong?

Mingchen had never seen this person, but he had heard of her name.

After all, when she was there, the main courtyard really looked presentable, and even the eldest sister said that Rong Mama was a talented person.

Although Nara died later, she was also driven out because of her mistakes.

But Mingchen still had some impression of him.

However, it’s good enough that they are not enemies, so why are they specifically looking for him?

Rong Mama quickly said, "When I was washing clothes in the box yesterday, I thought I saw the eldest princess's longevity lock!"

She didn't dare to call her "princess" in public, so she referred to her as "Dagegege".

The longevity lock was actually a gift from the Fourth Master after his quadruplets were born.

On a whim, I asked someone to design various styles and made one for each child.

It cannot be said that there are no such things outside, but it is impossible for them to be exactly the same as the eldest princess's.

Rong Mama was Nara's confidant at the time. As Nara's legal mother, all these longevity locks were reviewed by her.

Because it was so gorgeous, Rong Mama took note of it.

After this encounter, I still feel uneasy no matter how much I think about it.

But she had no way to enter the palace to spread the news. She only rushed over when she heard that the second master of the Niuhulu family was buying a female worker at the Infantry Commander's Office.

Mingchen immediately grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Where did you meet him? Who holds the longevity lock?"

"Hurry up, explain it clearly, and you'll be rewarded with a great achievement!"
