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

Wutong Courtyard.

"Madam, the servants have returned and say the man is dead."

When Shu'er saw that Xu Yuerao had woken up, she quickly went forward to help her sit up.

"Ah."

Xu Yuerao nodded, feeling a vague unease that Liang Qiuli had died so easily.

But upon closer reflection, Liang Qiuli was nothing more than a servant girl; even if she died, no one would seek justice for her, so she shouldn't have anything to worry about.

"Have someone keep an eye on Mr. and Mrs. Liang and see if they make any moves."

Xu Yuerao still couldn't help but give her a final word of advice.

"Yes."

Shu'er responded and then helped Xu Yuerao wash up and get dressed.

Xu Yuerao looked at her body, which had become even slimmer in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.

However, her face is still not as delicate as that of young ladies who grew up in seclusion.

Xu Yuerao recalled her past life, when it seemed that Xu Xingrao had introduced a whitening and beautifying formula. At that time, noble ladies in the capital were proud to use that formula, and even the noble ladies in the palace wanted it.

If she could get the prescription before Xu Xingrao, she would be able to shine in the capital once again.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuerao's mood improved a bit.

"See Mr. Marquis."

The sound of a maidservant greeting her interrupted Xu Yuerao's thoughts. She turned her head to look towards the door and saw Fei Wuxuan walk in.

"The moon is so beautiful."

Fei Wuxuan didn't even get a clear look at Xu Yuerao's face before showering her with praise.

As he spoke, he walked towards Xu Yuerao.

Xu Yuerao lowered her head shyly, but secretly she was delighted; it seemed she had indeed become more beautiful.

When she sensed Fei Wuxuan approaching, she looked up and smiled.

"Why is the Marquis arriving at this hour?"

For some reason, Fei Wuxuan felt a surge of disgust looking at Xu Yue's thin and somewhat rugged face and the expression she made.

A plump, chubby face like Qiu Li's is better; it's a sign of good fortune.

But he didn't show it on his face; instead, he smiled gently.

"It's been two days since I last visited you. I wanted to have lunch with you today."

In fact, Fei Wuxuan just wanted to avoid arousing Xu Yuerao's suspicion, since many people knew that he hadn't returned to the Marquis's residence last night.

Even if you try to hide it from her, you can't keep it from her for long.

But as long as he genuinely makes Xu Yuerao feel his affection, she won't easily become suspicious.

Although Fei Wuxuan was mediocre in his studies, he was quite good at charming women.

Hearing this, Xu Yuerao felt even better and gave him a reproachful look.

"You are too kind, Lord Marquis."

The two then chatted casually, but if an outsider were present, it would be obvious that Fei Wuxuan's answers were half-hearted and mostly perfunctory.

"My lord, I'd like to open a shop in the capital, selling cosmetics and the like, so that I can make connections with the noble ladies in the capital in advance."

Xu Yuerao actually only wanted to build up her network of contacts, but she was short of money and wanted the Marquis's mansion to pay for it, so she could only make the matter sound more respectable.

Fei Wuxuan then realized that with Liang Wende dead, there would be no one to write articles, summaries, or even anything else for him for free. So how was he supposed to expand his reputation after that?

Pay money to buy it?

So when he heard what Xu Yuerao said, wanting the Marquis's mansion to fund her to open a shop, he wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought that she still had some use to him.

"Do it if you want."

Fei Wuxuan pretended not to understand Xu Yuerao's intention to have the Marquis's mansion pay for it, since the household affairs were handled by his mother and she wouldn't easily give in.

So he pretended not to see what Xu Yuerao was going to do.

Seeing this, Xu Yuerao felt a little down, but she was not discouraged.

Fei Wuxuan refused, so she went to the old woman. The old woman agreed as soon as she heard that she could help Fei Wuxuan.

With their thoughts differing, the two changed the subject and continued chatting.

Fei Wuxuan did not leave until after lunch.

……

A month later.

Fei Wuxuan was busy looking for a new substitute for Liang Qiuli, but that didn't stop him from going to the villa outside the city to find her.

On the contrary, because Liang Qiuli's various tricks could please him, he visited her even more frequently.

Xu Yuerao wasn't idle either. While Fei Wuxuan said he wanted to go to Taolin more often to scout locations, she went to Liu's place every day to ask for money to open a shop.

At first, Liu refused, but after hearing Xu Yuerao's empty promises and with Qi Mama nodding in agreement from time to time, she finally relented.

Liang Qiuli has completely adapted to life in the villa.

At first, she would pretend to be uncomfortable going from a servant to a master, but over time she would completely let go.

Every day, he would either stroll through the peach grove behind the villa or chat with Hongyu about gossip.

What bothered her most was that Fei Wuxuan came too often, preventing her from properly enjoying her leisurely days.

However, everything is for the sake of the mission, and now is not the time to fully enjoy ourselves.

Therefore, Liang Qiuli would always appear very happy whenever she saw Fei Wuxuan, as if she truly loved him to death.

Ever since Liang Qiuli learned about this outdoor hot spring from Hongyu, she has been planning to let Fei Wuxuan experience something different.

"My lord, is the hot spring water comfortable?"

Liang Qiuli, dressed in a light gauze dress, took a few steps back and leaned against the hot spring. Her wet eyes stared straight at Fei Wuxuan, filled with admiration and love.

"It's comfortable, but not as comfortable as Pear. The feel of Pear's body is even more attractive than this hot spring water."

Fei Wuxuan reached out and pulled Liang Qiuli back into his arms.

……

The figures of the two were faintly visible amidst the swirling mist of the hot spring.

……

The water rippled, creating waves of varying sizes as Liang Qiuli's sweet moans echoed through the water.

……

Eventually, everything returned to calm.

……

Fei Wuxuan lay contentedly by the hot spring, while Liang Qiuli nestled in his arms, utterly exhausted.

……

Fei Wuxuan was almost reluctant to leave Liang Qiuli's place, but thinking that Xu Yuerao might become suspicious, he decided to return to the Marquis's residence tonight.

Fei Wuxuan picked up Liang Qiuli, settled her on the bed, and hurried back into the city as the evening sun set.

"My lord, you're finally back!"

As soon as Fei Wuxuan stepped into the gate of the Marquis's mansion, a maid from Rongning Hall rushed up to him, saying in a flustered manner.

"What's wrong? Is something urgent happening with Mother?"

Fei Wuxuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xu Yuerao had discovered Liang Qiuli's affair? His expression darkened.

"The old lady and the lady are arguing, and the situation doesn't look good. There are even signs that they're about to come to blows."

The maid had no idea what Fei Wuxuan was thinking and anxiously reported what had just happened at Rongning Hall.

"My lord, you must go and take a look!"

Seeing Fei Wuxuan stop walking, the maid urged him even more anxiously.

Fei Wuxuan frowned, his unease growing. Could it really be about Liang Qiuli? But that shouldn't be the case!

Could it be that Xu Yuerao found out about his decision to have his mother return the indenture to the Liang family and arrange for him to go to a villa in the suburbs?

"Do you know why?"
