Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

Wutong Courtyard.

"Shu'er, how is it? Did she drink the medicine with the added ingredient?"

Xu Yuerao looked at Shu'er, who had returned from outside, and asked somewhat anxiously.

Xu Yuerao learned that the Marquis had once again made that Qiu Li serve him in bed last night. In this life, she would never let Qiu Li bear any more children for the Marquis.

Shu'er nodded.

"Don't worry, Madam. I saw her drink it with my own eyes. The medicine is colorless and tasteless, so she won't notice anything."

"That's good. By the way, is my fertility-preserving medicine ready?"

In the two months since Xu Yuerao married into the Marquis's mansion, she has been trying to please Marquis Fei Wuxuan, but she has found that it is all in vain and that a relationship based on mutual benefit is more reliable.

That's why she revealed the matter of the Eldest Princess to Fei Wuxuan just two days ago, and even said that he wouldn't touch Liang Qiuli again until she left!

However, having offspring was still important, so she had someone prescribe a medicine to regulate her body, hoping to conceive the Marquis's child after Liang Qiuli left, thus solidifying her position in the Marquis's mansion.

As for why Xu Yuerao didn't just sell Liang Qiuli off, it's because Fei Wuxuan disagreed.

"Madam is well now."

Before Shu'er could go out to ask, a maidservant tactfully came in and handed the medicine bowl to Xu Yuerao.

If Liang Qiuli were here, she would have discovered that this maid was someone she had placed in the Wutong Courtyard. Naturally, no one would know whether Xu Yuerao's health-preserving medicine was actually effective.

Xu Yuerao picked up the medicine bowl, took a small sip, and found that the temperature was just right before drinking the medicine in one go.

"What's your name? I've never seen you serve me before."

Xu Yuerao placed the bowl on the table and began to speak.

The maidservant immediately knelt down, her voice trembling slightly.

“My name is Qingya. I used to do odd jobs in the servants’ quarters of the mansion. A few days ago, the third-class maid in the madam’s courtyard was dismissed by the madam for making a mistake. The courtyard was short-handed, so the head nanny transferred me here.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuerao looked at Qingya, who had an ordinary appearance, with great satisfaction.

"She's clever. Let's promote her to second-class maid and have her serve me."

Upon hearing this, Qingya immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude, but in a corner unnoticed by anyone, a hint of joy of success flashed across her face.

"You all go down."

Xu Yuerao waved her hand, then got up and walked into the inner room.

……

After returning to the front courtyard, Marquis Fei Wuxuan knew that Xu Yuerao's people had come to the front courtyard. Therefore, Xu Yuerao must know about what happened between him and Liang Qiuli last night. Worried that Xu Yuerao would be angry, he came to Wutong Courtyard before lunchtime.

"Has Madam had lunch yet?"

Seeing that Xu Yuerao was reading a book, Fei Wuxuan walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, trying to show their intimacy.

Fei Wuxuan would never lower himself to serve others, but Xu Yuerao is his hope for advancement, so it's no problem for him to be humble.

Xu Yuerao didn't buy it and slightly turned her body to avoid Fei Wuxuan's touch.

For the previous two months, she had been trying to please Fei Wuxuan, but Fei Wuxuan remained arrogant and indifferent towards her.

If she hadn't offered him something attractive, would he have acted this way?

Xu Yuerao is not someone who can be easily pleased.

Fei Wuxuan's expression changed slightly when he was avoided, but he quickly returned to normal and gave a fake smile.

"It seems that you are in a bad mood today, perhaps because you were angry with your mother this morning. I apologize on behalf of my mother. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against her."

Fei Wuxuan thought to himself that if it weren't for the chance to win the favor of the Eldest Princess, who would want him, the dignified Marquis of Yongchang, to curry favor with her?

And wasn't Xu Yuerao incredibly gentle with him for the past two months? Why the sudden change?

Liang Qiuli is still the best.

Yes, Fei Wuxuan still had some affection for the maid who had served him for many years, so when Xu Yuerao asked him to send Liang Qiuli away immediately, he hesitated for a moment and did not agree directly.

However, Liang Qiuli could not resist the allure of rapid advancement.

Especially considering the change in Xu Yuerao's attitude towards him, she must really have a way to help him, otherwise she couldn't bear the consequences.

"The doctor said I need to sleep more. Can I stop getting up early to pay my respects to my mother from now on?"

Xu Yuerao continued to probe Fei Wuxuan, and although Fei Wuxuan was slightly dissatisfied, he still went along with her words.

"Of course you can. Your health is the most important thing. Your mother will understand."

There's no other way but to go along with it for now.

Afterwards, Fei Wuxuan had lunch with Xu Yuerao, but finally couldn't stand being treated coldly, so he made an excuse and left Wutong Courtyard first.

"Go and fetch Qiu Li for me."

Fei Wuxuan returned to the front courtyard in a huff and instructed the maid beside him to call Liang Qiuli.

Liang Qiuli quickly appeared in front of Fei Wuxuan with the snacks she had brought back from the kitchen that morning.

"My Lord, you're looking for me?"

Liang Qiuli first bowed respectfully to Fei Wuxuan, then placed the pastries in front of him, smiling sincerely as she coaxed Fei Wuxuan to take a few bites.

"Try it, it's your favorite walnut and almond flavor."

Fei Wuxuan took a bite; it was sweet but not cloying. He nodded, and his expression relaxed a little.

Qiu Li understands me best, unlike that Xu Yue Rao, who's started putting on airs!

"My lord, this is what my brother has compiled. It contains the key points for the next academy teacher assessment. Please remember to take a look."

Liang Qiuli smiled and took out a few more books, placing them in front of Fei Wuxuan.

Although Fei Wuxuan is the Marquis of Yongchang, he does not hold any other official positions, so he is preparing for the imperial examination. In public, he is portrayed as an exceptionally intelligent and talented scholar.

But in reality, he's all show and no substance, so to maintain his persona, he has to resort to underhanded tactics in private.

Qiu Li's older brother, Liang Wende, had studied at the academy with Fei Wuxuan since childhood. However, because he was far superior to Fei Wuxuan, he was forbidden from going to the academy.

But Liang Wende basically helped Fei Wuxuan with his homework and other things.

"I know about your and your brother's good intentions. In fact, I already know all the key points."

Fei Wuxuan's eyes lit up when he saw the booklet on the table, but he spoke in a sanctimonious manner.

Pooh!

Liang Qiuli cursed inwardly. This man, who always relied on his brother for his reputation, still liked to put on airs. He was so hypocritical.

However, despite her complaints, Liang Qiuli still obediently continued speaking.

“Your Excellency has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, and I know you will definitely remember it.”

Fei Wuxuan nodded in satisfaction. "You can go out now. Come back tonight."

"Yes. But there is one more thing I need to tell you, Lord Marquis. Hongyu and Steward Wang in the manor are very compatible and would like you to grant them your blessing."

Liang Qiuli didn't expect that Hongyu would make a decision in less than a day.

Fei Wuxuan just wanted everyone to leave, and casually remarked something to Hongyu, who was insignificant to him.

"Okay, you handle it."

After Liang Qiuli agreed, she respectfully and quickly withdrew.
