Quick Wear: I and the Female Match Share the Battle Shirt

Chapter 224 The Righteous Way (13)

Lu Changqing looked at Du Hezhi speechlessly. She felt that the man in front of her was even more arrogant than the feudal leader sitting at the top of the Jiying Hall.

Fearing that Du Hezhi would do something bad to the servants in the mansion, especially Wu Xiang who "angered" Bai Mingzhou, Lu Changqing specially reminded him, "Madam, the censors in the court are not vegetarians. If it is reported from our mansion that we oppress the servants, it is hard to say whether Dad can keep his green robe."

Du Hezhi looked at Bai Shiyuan, a little unsure, "How can it be so exaggerated? They all sold themselves to our house, so I can't do whatever I want with them?"

There is no such thing as an employment relationship in this terrifying plane. The life and death of servants is entirely decided by their masters.

"Madam, it is not a good reputation to scold and beat servants. My third sister is looking for a marriage partner. If this matter gets out, it will be bad for her reputation."

Lu Changqing brought out the killer weapon of "reputation", and Du Hezhi stopped being stubborn. He supported Bai Mingzhou and asked Bai Shiyuan, "Sir, what do you think we should do about this?"

Bai Shiyuan said angrily: "You should ask your good son why he did such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Du Hezhi turned to Bai Mingzhou and asked, "Mingzhou, tell me why you suddenly got so angry?"

Bai Mingzhou's face was green with shit, and he looked constipated. "Mom, don't ask about this!"

He Guiyi stood aside, unable to say a word, and just looked at Bai Mingzhou with heartache.

Du Hezhi pressed on, "I'm your mother, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Bai Mingzhou glanced at the faces of Lu Changqing and the others, who were either curious, worried, or indifferent. He wanted to die, "I told you not to ask anymore, why are you never stopping!"

Du Hezhi was startled by Bai Mingzhou's yelling, and felt angry and wronged, "Why are you so angry? If you don't want me to take care of you, I won't take care of your business."

"Get out, get out! All of you, get out!" Bai Shiyuan drove them away impatiently, and then instructed Du Hezhi, "Find a doctor to see her. Don't let her die in the mansion."

Lu Changqing followed Du Hezhi out of the house. The door was closed from the inside by Bai Shiyuan. The conversation inside was very quiet and one could not hear what they were saying from outside.

Du Hezhi didn't care about Wu Xiang's life or death, but she had to listen to Bai Shiyuan's instructions.

"The money for seeing the doctor will be deducted from her salary."

Her son was so angry that he resorted to violence. She had done her best by not punishing her. Now she wanted her to pay money? That was impossible.

Lu Changqing reminded: "Madam, there are so many people watching here. It's not a good reputation to criticize servants."

Du Hezhi rolled his eyes at Lu Changqing and said, "Why are you everywhere? I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

"Madam, have you forgotten what Daddy said just now? Censor?"

Du Hezhi's face turned pale with rage. "I know. You don't need to remind me again!"

Looking at Lu Changqing's leaving back, Du Hezhi was furious. Now Lin Wenqing could laugh at her again.

Lin Wenqing was very happy to learn from Lu Changqing that Bai Mingzhou was scolded by Bai Shiyuan. He gloated and said, "Your father usually loves your big brother like the apple of his eye. This time he got so angry that it seems he is really angry. By the way, do you know why your big brother hit him?"

Lu Changqing shook his head, "I don't know, Dad drove the mistress and us all out."

Lin Wenqing said thoughtfully: "Even Du Hezhi can't stand it, it seems that this matter is a bit serious."

Lin Wenqing looked at Lu Changqing and guessed, "Could it be that your elder brother got addicted to gambling and lost all the family property?"

"I don't know. It's useless for you to guess here. Father must be in a bad mood these past two days. You should stay away from him. I'm afraid he will vent his anger on you."

Lin Wenqing rolled her eyes at Lu Changqing and said, "Mom still needs you to teach her."

Lu Changqing felt tired. He really thought that she liked to teach others. It was just to make Lin Wenqing and Du Hezhi fight less.

Later, Lu Changqing went to see Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang felt pain all over his body and couldn't sleep at all. Seeing Lu Changqing coming, he tried to force a smile and said, "The fourth girl is here."

Lu Changqing checked Wu Xiang's injuries. Apart from the swelling on her left face, her injuries were mainly concentrated on her arms and back.

"Fortunately, the bones are not injured. It will be fine after a period of rest."

"The doctor who came just now said the same thing." Wu Xiang endured the pain in his body and thanked Lu Changqing: "Thank you, Fourth Miss, for speaking up for me in front of the mistress just now."

"You don't need to thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had this experience."

Wu wanted to shake his head, "If it weren't for the girl, I would die."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You still need to stay in the mansion for a while. When the time is right, I will ask my father to let you leave the mansion."

"Thank you, Fourth Miss."

Lu Changqing told Wu Xiang to take good care of his injuries, "I am usually in the mansion. If anyone in the mansion makes things difficult for you, please send someone to find me."

For safety reasons, before leaving, Lu Changqing asked Wu Xiang to give him the unused contraceptive pills and put the pills back into his pocket.

When Lu Changqing woke up early the next morning, scout Yuan Liu brought news that a doctor had gone to Songtaoyuan last night.

Lu Changqing pretended not to know, "Someone was injured in Songtaoyuan?"

Yuan Liu shook her head and asked mysteriously, "Miss, do you know who that doctor is?"

"do not know."

Yuan Liu leaned close to Lu Changqing's ear and whispered, "Doctor Yang from Anjitang on Niuxing Street."

Lu Changqing looked puzzled, "What happened to Doctor Yang?"

"Doctor Yang is most famous for treating that." Yuan Liu said with a blink, hoping that Lu Changqing could understand the implicit meaning of her words.

"You mean men are impotent?"

Seeing Lu Changqing say this carelessly, Yuan Liu was so scared that she reached out to cover her mouth, "My lady, you can't say this."

Lu Changqing pushed Yuan Liu's hand away and said, "It's okay. It's just you and me here. Besides, I had already guessed it when I was at the scene last night."

"Ah? Did the girl guess it yesterday?"

"Last night, my father and mistress asked my eldest brother why he beat someone up, but he kept it to himself and refused to tell us. The reason must be shameful. Plus, he was about to have sex at the time, so it's not hard to guess the reason."

"Well, I want to give the girl a surprise."

Lu Changqing raised his index finger to his lips and said, "We should just be happy in secret. Don't say such gloating words out loud."

Even Yuan Liu knew about Doctor Yang's entry into the mansion, so Lin Wenqing naturally knew about it early on as well. After guessing that Bai Mingzhou was probably useless, Lin Wenqing was grinning the whole day and was in an extremely good mood.

If Bai Mingzhou were to fail and He Guiyi were to give birth to another daughter, wouldn't this huge Bai Mansion belong to her son in the future?

"God is really helping me!" Lin Wenqing was lying on the couch, pouring wine and sipping it. Seeing Lu Changqing sitting next to him without responding, he asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Lu Changqing asked: "Mom, have you ever thought about the day when the Bai Mansion will collapse?"

Lin Wenqing thought that Lu Changqing's question was really funny. "What are you thinking about? Your father is doing well in his official career, how could the Bai family fall? Besides, even if something really happened, the Bai family is considered a gentry in Yangzhou. If we return to our hometown, our life will not be too bad."

During the reign of Emperor Renzong, it was rare for officials who committed crimes to be dismissed from office and their families implicated. More often, the offending officials would be demoted and exiled to other places. So in Lin Wenqing's view, her life would be very comfortable both now and in the future.
