Chapter 136 Wife: My husband, how about taking a concubine? ( words, please subscribe)
After eating and drinking, Chen Jie and Feng Xuan took their leave together.

Peng Shizhong was very happy. He was delighted by Feng Xuan's change, but maybe he was overthinking it.

Feng Xuan was the child I watched grow up under my care, so how could he secretly harm the second child? I have been too harsh on him these past few days, and it has not been easy for him.

As Peng Shizhong thought about it, his impression of Feng Xuan changed greatly, and he even blamed himself for being too harsh on him.

Chen Jie and Feng Xuan walked out of the mansion and ran into Peng Fu who had returned.

Peng Fu had a wooden box in his hand. When they came closer, Chen Jie and Feng Xuan bowed to Peng Fu and said, "Uncle Fu."

"Hey, uncle, fifth uncle."

Peng Fu immediately bowed. Feng Xuan then smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, why do you need to go out in person?"

Peng Fu heard this and said, "Oh, the master wants to go to the opera, so let me exchange some gold leaves."

Uncle Fu opened the box and saw a thick stack of leaf-shaped flakes made from hammered gold.

This is specifically used to reward actors, and is also one of the common methods used by wealthy people to support actors.

When an actor sang well, people of status would send people to throw gold and silver valuables onto the stage. This was specifically called "throwing money".

It literally means throwing money at the stage!
According to legend, after a performance, Mei Lanfang, a Peking Opera master in the Republic of China, would throw gold bars and jewelry on the stage, which would add up to several thousand dollars, enough to buy a courtyard house in the most prosperous area of ​​​​BJ.

……

After hearing what Peng Fu said, Feng Xuan said, "Oh, my godfather is so elegant and leisurely. By the way, are these gold leaves enough? I have a few gold bricks in my house. If not, you can take them and ask for the leaves."

"That's enough, that's enough, we've already knocked in two gold bricks."

Peng Fu said, and after hearing this, Feng Xuan smiled and said, "The old man likes it, don't worry about the money. If there is not enough money, I, as his son, will give it to you."

Peng Fu looked at Feng Xuan in surprise and asked, "Master, what are you doing today?"

Feng Xuan said: "Is it different now? Oh, thinking about the past, it shouldn't be like this. The death of the second brother has deeply touched me. My adoptive father is also old, and as his children, I should also bear some responsibility for him."

Peng Fu looked at Feng Xuan and wondered if this old man had changed his personality?
But then I thought, it’s hard to change one’s nature, so is this just a show?

But it doesn't matter anymore. Thinking of this, Peng Fu said, "Haha, you are so thoughtful. Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."

"Okay, Uncle Fu, please do as you please."

Feng Xuan and Peng Fu said goodbye, and Chen Jie followed behind them. When they reached the door, Feng Xuan turned around and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Old Five, what we said in the room is not a joke. Tomorrow you can send someone to take over Heping Street, and my people will cooperate with you."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Feng Xuan with a slightly fixed gaze and said, "Brother, you must be joking. I have limited energy and cannot take care of so many things. You have to take care of Heping Street."

Chen Jie didn't know what Feng Xuan was up to, but he knew one thing, that is, you must oppose what the enemy wants.

As long as you have identified who the enemy is, don't care about his purpose or how much he says. Just be determined not to do what he wants you to do.

Therefore Chen Jie refused.

Feng Xuan said: "Haha... Lao Wu, you don't believe in Big Brother."

Chen Jie said: "How dare you, brother?"

Feng Xuan said: "Do you think Lao Er's death has something to do with me?"

Chen Jie thought to himself, this is related to you, you are the one who informed on her!
But he said, "Big brother, you are joking. You and the second brother have a deep brotherly love. How can the second brother's affairs have anything to do with the big brother?"

Feng Xuan said, "I know that on that day at Wang Dafa's house, Sixi's visit was a bit too coincidental. I thought about it later and it was really a coincidence. It was not something I planned on purpose. Sixi also told me about it when he came back. I want to explain it to you in person to prevent any misunderstandings."

Chen Jie said, "Haha, so that's how it is. I really think that day was a bit of a coincidence. I was just wondering, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I understand, I understand!"

Chen Jie responded with a smile. Feng Xuan sighed and said helplessly, "Brothers, why do you have to be so suspicious of each other?"

"Sigh~ That's enough, Lao Wu. There's no point in saying more. From now on, just watch your brother's performance. Let's go!"

Feng Xuan waved his hand and turned around, looking lonely. He walked away step by step, his eyes full of helplessness and loneliness.

People who don’t know him would really think that he is a prodigal son who has returned.

Looking at Feng Xuan's back, Xiaohu drove the carriage over and asked, "Brother, has he really learned well?"

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "You, remember this: it is easy to change a country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. He can learn well, but be careful. If something is not normal, there must be something wrong!"

After saying that, Chen Jie turned around and got into the car.

Feng Xuan came to his own frame and asked, "Master, how is it?"

Feng Xuan said: "Haha, the old guy is still so naive, but this Chen Jiusi is a bit difficult to deal with!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

Fa Cai spoke, Feng Xuan looked at him and said, "You, not yet, but it doesn't matter, since the game has been set, no one can escape."

Feng Xuan got into the car and said, "Let's go back. We still have two days."

"Yes."

Fa Cai drove away.

……

Chen Jie returned home, came to his study, and rubbed his eyebrows.

Carry the [Jue Lingzi] you got from Peng Shizhong with you, this medicine is very expensive.

After doing all this, Chen Jie began to think about what happened today. Feng Xuan's abnormality made him very uneasy. He always felt that something big was about to happen.

In this way, Chen Jie sat from afternoon to evening.

After dinner, Chen Jie came to the study again, holding a book and flipping through it casually. Su Yunjin took a look at the door and left with Yin Hongmei.

"Don't disturb my husband, he must have something important to do."

Before he knew it, it was around eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Jie felt sleepy again. At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Chen Jie looked up and found that it was the maid Cui Ju.

Cui Ju, for some reason, had drawn her eyebrows and combed her hair, and dressed herself up very beautifully. At this time, she came to Chen Jie with a bowl of lotus seed soup and said, "Master, it's late at night. Eat something to warm yourself up."

"Oh, leave it there."

Chen Jie responded casually.

Then continue looking at the book in your hand.

Cui Ju did not leave after hearing this, but said, "Master, your shoulders must be sore, I will give you a shoulder massage."

Chen Jie glanced at her and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"It's okay, I'm not tired!"

As Cui Ju spoke, she came behind Chen Jie and gently pinched his shoulders with her soft little hands.

You know what, it feels quite comfortable.

This is also a unique skill that Cui Ju learned from her mother.

Her mother was able to rise from a maid to a favored concubine, which naturally required some special means.

For example, the shoulder massage technique is unique.

The massage was normal at the beginning, but gradually Chen Jie felt something was wrong. It seemed as if there were two water balloons behind him, moving up and down on his shoulders and neck, which gave him an unexpected feeling.

"Ah."

Chen Jie felt something was different.

At the same time, the voice of Aster was heard beside my ear: "Master, ah~Are you comfortable?"

"This is my unique skill, sir, why don't you take off your clothes, it will be more comfortable."

Chen Jie also understood how Cui Ju was massaged.

This is not a maid, this is simply a technician on the second floor.

Nowadays, young maids are very brave and dare to do anything. Chen Jie finds it interesting. Is there such a talented person in his mansion?

Just when Chen Jie was hesitating whether to go upstairs.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Husband, it's late, it's time to go to bed..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Su Yunjin and her maid Yin Hongmei stood at the door in a daze.

Chen Jie was seen sitting on a chair with his back to the maid Cui Ju, who had her clothes undressed, exposing her chest.

"Ah, madam!"

Cui Ju was also shocked. She had just found out that the lady was teaching the young lady to write and she probably wouldn't be able to come for a while.

But why did it come?

Su Yunjin was indeed teaching Su Yunrui how to write, but after looking at the time and thinking of Chen Jie who was still in the study, she asked Chen Jie to rest more.

I never thought that I would encounter such a scene.

This made her not know how to deal with it.

The maidservant had an affair with the master. According to the standards of most families, the maidservant would at least be severely beaten and sold again, or even beaten to death. But since she had a contract to sell her body, she could be beaten to death.

Chen Jie was also a little embarrassed, as if he was caught cheating on his wife in bed while having a massage on the second floor.

Cui Ju was very panicked, not knowing what her wife's temper was like.

After a while, Su Yunjin came back to her senses and said calmly, "Husband, are you done?"

Chen Jie said: "It's done."

"Oh, that's fine, Aster. You go down first."

"Ah, oh, it's ma'am."

After hearing this, Cui Ju felt as if she had been pardoned, and immediately ran out beside Fei. Seeing this, Yin Hongmei frowned slightly and wanted to stop this shameless bitch.

But Su Yunjin didn't let her stop.

Cui Ju ran out in a hurry. Chen Jie felt a little embarrassed and picked up the lotus seed soup on the table next to him and took a bite.

Su Yunjin walked into the house.

"Hongmei, I don't need you to serve me anymore. Go down."

Su Yunjin asked Yin Hongmei to leave.

For a moment, only Chen Jie and Su Yunjin were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Su Yunjin said nothing. She slowly came behind Chen Jie, gently pressed Chen Jie's shoulders and said, "You must be tired."

"good."

"That girl is all right when she grows up, do you want to take her in as a roommate?"

Su Yunjin said casually.

"what?"

Chen Jie was stunned and turned to look at Su Yunjin.

"Why are you looking at me? I asked you if that girl wants to stay in your room."

Su Yunjin asked again.

"No, madam. I didn't do anything. Why would I take a room?"

Chen Jie said helplessly.

Su Yunjin said: "Husband, you don't have to worry about me. In fact, I have long understood that with your current status, it is impossible for me to be the only woman. Otherwise, if you tell others, you will be laughed at."

"Look at Master Feng Xuan. He has one wife and three concubines."

"Second Master Zheng Chuan: one wife and five concubines."

"The Third Master and the Fourth Master both have three wives and four concubines. As the Fifth Master of the White Tiger Hall, how can you only have one wife and no concubines? You will be laughed at."

"So if you think that girl is nice, just take her as your roommate."

"Just take care of your body and don't overindulge yourself. Ruirui and I are counting on you!"

Su Yunjin spoke very calmly. In fact, she had anticipated this day a long time ago. After a man gains power, few of them only have one wife.

Just like what Sister Hua said, the women out there are like moths, they will pounce on you without caring about their lives, and they will use every means to snatch a man away.

If you try to stop them like a madman, you won't be able to stop them.

Therefore, it is better to open up than to block. It is enough to know that the position you hold in his heart is the most important.

Moreover, the thinking of women in this era was not like that of the modern world. The women's Delhi they recited contained written norms for women.

Moreover, in this world, it is normal for a man to have multiple women.

So she was mentally prepared.

But no matter how prepared you are, as a woman, it is impossible not to feel a little bitter when you see your man in the arms of another woman.

No matter how sensible a woman is, she still has a trace of jealousy as a woman, and a trace of possessiveness as a wife.

How could you not care at all?

Unless she doesn't love him, if she does, there will be ripples in her heart.

They will not care about it when living together, because they will not put all their hearts on this man. They may shift their focus to money and power struggles within the house.

But Su Yunjin didn't have that kind of mentality. She loved Chen Jie and didn't want to live with him.

Because of love, she is willing to endure even if she feels bitter.

Because of love, she can tolerate other women to possess her man, because she wants her husband to live happily.

Keep all grievances to yourself.

Leave happiness to your husband.

She was willing to fulfill this man's wish because her whole heart was devoted to him.

She would rather get hurt herself than let her man suffer the slightest injustice.

She looked at her husband calmly, with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't let them flow. She was afraid that her husband would see her and make him feel guilty, and then he would humble himself and not want to be involved with other women.

this is not right.

Chen Jie looked at his wife. How could he not see that there was something wrong with her? How could he not understand her heart?

To be honest, it is impossible for him to have only one woman. There are too many temptations in this world, and he is not someone who can withstand temptation. Moreover, there are too many people in this world who are forced to do things against their will, such as the one in the nunnery.

But Chen Jie didn't want to hurt his wife's feelings.

This is the softness in his heart. Although he was distracted just now, he would not hurt his wife's feelings because of a maid.

Chen Jie smiled, ruffled Su Yunjin's hair and said, "You are just imagining things. What kind of room do you want to take? Is it that simple to make me, Chen Jiusi, a concubine?"

"Can anyone who climbs into my bed become my concubine?"

"Miss!"

Chen Jie pulled Su Yunjin into his arms and sat her on his lap.

"Ah~"

The young lady was not mentally prepared, so she exclaimed in surprise. Chen Jie said, "Madam, you will suffer if you follow me."

Su Yunjin smiled: "No, I am very happy following my husband."

"you listen to me."

"My husband is not someone who can remain calm. He has sensed it. As my status and power increase, women like Cui Ju will surely appear in large numbers. My husband doesn't know if he can resist the temptation... and as his power grows in the future, there may be a political need... for a marriage."

"So there will be no shortage of women around your husband in the future, but your husband promises you that you will always be his favorite wife. You must remember that no matter how many women your husband has around him, you will always be the most special one in his heart."

"You must always remember that you are my, Chen Jiusi, legal wife, carried in through the main gate in a sedan chair carried by eight men!"

Chen Jie expressed his thoughts very sincerely.

These words would be the words of a scumbag in modern society, but in this era, they are extremely precious.

Su Yunjin said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, you don't have to wrong yourself like this. You are going to do great things, and your legal wife should be helpful to your future. I am just a foolish woman from the countryside, why should I be a legal wife?"

"If one day someone is willing to help you and you want to marry him, I can give up this position as your wife. As long as I stay by your side, even as a concubine, I will be happy."

"Silly girl, why do you want to be a concubine? No one told you that you were born to be a wife!"

Su Yunjin said: "How can there be a natural born wife? I used to be a jinx."

"Stop talking. I, Chen Jiusi, swear to heaven that Su Yunjin will always be my legal wife. If there is any change, heaven..."

"Don't say it!"

Su Yunjin covered Chen Jie's mouth.

Chen Jie gently took her hand away, looked at her and said, "God bless you with five thunderbolts!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh... Spit it out now. It doesn't count. It doesn't count."

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin's anxious expression and said, "I'll count it, I'll count it for my whole life."

"Husband~"

The lady's eyes were filled with tears. She tenderly wrapped her arms around Chen Jie's neck and gently lay on his shoulder.

"What's wrong? Are you crying again?"

Chen Jie patted Su Yunjin's back gently.

Su Yunjin said at this time: "It's okay, husband, I, I want to give birth to a child for you!"

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, give birth now!"

Having said that, Chen Jie directly picked up his wife horizontally.

"Ah, husband, what are you going to do?"

"Have a baby!"

"it's here?"

Chen Jie said: "Yes, there is a bed and a table..."

With a loud bang, all the books on the table were swept to the ground by Chen Jie. No books of sages or philosophers should be placed on my desk.

……

In the maid's dormitory, Aster was so excited that she succeeded.

She treated the master like that, but the lady was not angry with herself. What does this mean? It means that the lady is weak and can be bullied!

As long as I can control the master and make him dependent on me.

Then he would surely be able to ascend to the throne, and by then, such a weak and vulnerable lady would not be easily controlled by him.

Hehehe...

She tossed and turned in bed, and the two maids beside her looked at Cui Ju and said, "Cui Ju, why did you come back so late?"

Aster smiled and said, "Haha...it's okay."

Seeing Cui Ju's smug look, a maid said, "You won't really do that to the master?"

Cui Ju said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not that kind of person."

"Hey, really."

Cui Ju didn't say anything, but the two maids pushed her excitedly. Cui Ju felt very proud and showed off.

At this time, the other two maids immediately said: "Ah, Cui Ju, you are so amazing."

"What's that, Chrysanthemum? From now on, I'll call you Second Madam."

"Yes, Second Madam, please take care of us in the future."

"Yeah yeah."

The other two maids spoke up immediately. After hearing this, Cui Ju said, "Okay, okay, when I become the second wife, I will increase your monthly salary..." Squeak...

Just then the door suddenly opened, and Yin Hongmei walked in.

Her expression was very calm. The three maids immediately shut up when they saw this. Cui Ju looked at Yin Hongmei provocatively, "You little girl, haven't you tried to curry favor with the lady?"

Just wait a few days and I will be the second wife.

When the time comes, I will be the master and you will be the servant. I will see what you have to be proud of.

Yin Hongmei ignored them and lay down on her bed, covered herself with the quilt, and fell asleep.

The three maids looked at each other and all disliked Yin Hongmei.

cut~
The three maids rolled their eyes in unison, then complimented Cuiju in a low voice. As long as Cuiju succeeded, they would immediately become master and servant. If they established a good relationship now, they would be able to reap some benefits in the future.

Cui Ju said proudly, "Okay, okay, go to bed quickly, we still have to work tomorrow morning."

As she said this, she lay down, and the two maids followed her.

In her sleep, Cui Ju had a beautiful dream. After being favored by the master, she was promoted to the second wife, and then was in charge of the affairs in the mansion. After some days, relying on the skills of serving men that she learned from her mother, the master loved her even more.

She has complete control over everything in the mansion, and the eldest lady can only shed tears every day.

He used his mother's unique medicine to prevent the first lady from getting pregnant with the master's child. Without the child, the master loved the first lady even less.

He fanned the evil wind and lit a ghost fire, and threw a scarecrow with the master's name written on it and full of needles under the lady's bed, and said that she was cursing the master.

Don't trust the master, don't hate her, then divorce her and become the first wife, haha...

She laughed out loud in her sleep, but while she was laughing, she suddenly felt something strangled her neck and it became difficult for her to breathe.

At this moment, she opened her eyes and immediately saw a pair of cold eyes.

Yin Hongmei!
She instantly recognized the owner of those eyes, and then she felt a rope around her neck.

amount……

"You, what are you doing!"

At this time, Yin Hongmei had her hands wrapped around a strip of cloth torn from the quilt, and the strip of cloth was put around Cuiju's neck. Cuiju's face turned red from being strangled, and she tried to tear the strip of cloth off with her hands.

However, Yin Hongmei turned around and squatted, with her back to the bed, holding the two strips of cloth tightly on her back so that she could use her strength.

She was only twelve, not as old as Aster, so this was the only way she could fully exert her strength.

amount……

Cui Ju struggled desperately, but Yin Hongmei just remained expressionless, without a single fluctuation in her expression, only calmness and indifference!
amount……

Snapped!
Cui Ju's struggle directly kicked the two maids beside her, and then the two maids were kicked awake, and they were confused: "Uh...what's wrong?"

"Yeah, why are you kicking me?"

"Uh uh..."

Chrysanthemum's face turned purple.

At this time, the two maids heard something wrong and suddenly opened their eyes. The next moment they were frightened.

"Oh my god, Yin Hongmei, what are you doing!"

Yin Hongmei ignored them and continued to strangle them with increasing force!

"Pull it open, pull it open, pull it open quickly!"

The two maids hurriedly pulled the two apart.

"Cough cough cough..."

Aster was finally able to breathe at this time, and she coughed desperately, holding her neck. After a moment's rest, she became furious.

"Yin Hongmei, I will kill you!"

As she said that, she pounced on her, and her sharp claws scratched Yin Hongmei's face, leaving a bloody mark.

But Yin Hongmei did not hide, nor did she react excessively. She just looked at Cui Ju indifferently with a cold expression, as if she was looking at a dead person.

The two maids nearby were horrified and hurried to separate the two.

"You bitch, are you sick? Why did you kill me? You..."

Cui Ju was yelling like crazy, and Yin Hongmei said, "Keep your voice down."

"what?"

"I told you to keep your voice down, the master is asleep!"

"You're almost going to kill me, and you want me to keep my voice down? I..."

"Yes, Hongmei, what are you doing? We all live in the same room, why did you kill Cuiju?"

"Yeah, why are you going to kill me?"

Aster asked hysterically at this time.

Yin Hongmei's expression was calm. She had never had any violent emotional fluctuations. At this moment, she said, "Since you are not dead, it means that God has given you a chance. Tomorrow morning, you go to the Madam and kowtow three times, then apologize to the Madam and promise not to get close to the Master in the future, and then forget about it!"

"You, you are fucking sick, what does my mother do have to do with you, and you ordered me to do it, I won't kowtow, I just want to get close to the master, the master likes me, it's none of your business! You ugly thing, a bitch that no one wants!"

Aster cursed madly.

Yin Hongmei remained indifferent when she heard this: "You don't have to do it, but I guarantee you will die!"

"you……"

Cui Ju glared at Yin Hongmei and asked, "Do you still want to kill me?"

Yin Hongmei said, "You'd better not sleep. If you do, you may never wake up. You'd better not go to the pond. You may fall in and never get out. You'd better not go to the kitchen. The knives there are very sharp!"

Cui Ju widened her eyes when she heard this and said, "Are you trying to scare me? Believe it or not, I'll kill you first!"

Yin Hongmei said: "Okay, if you kill me, you will have to pay with your life, and you will have to die!"

"You...if you kill me, you will die too!"

Yin Hongmei raised her head and finally smiled: "I'm not afraid!"

"You~"

Looking at the weird smile on Yin Hong's face, Cui Ju was scared. She might be a lunatic. She really wanted to kill me!
Yin Hongmei looked at Cui Ju and said, "You can choose, kowtow and apologize and never get close to the master, or die!"

Cui Ju looked at Yin Hongmei and asked, "You, why did you do this?"

"No reason, just tell me the answer!"

"I, I, I kowtow to apologize, and I will never get close to the master again!"

"Okay, sleep!"

As Yin Hongmei spoke, she wiped the scratched wound on her face with the back of her hand, went to bed, covered herself with the quilt, and went to sleep.

The three maids looked at Yin Hongmei and broke out in cold sweats. What kind of lunatic is this!

Cui Ju looked at Yin Hongmei hatefully and sat down on the chair. She didn't dare to sleep anymore.

She was afraid that if she fell asleep, she would never wake up again. She really wanted to kill herself just now.

Yin Hongmei had her back to the three people, her eyes open, her face expressionless, a piece of paper under her pillow, with only three words on it: [Yin Hongmei]

The lady taught her to write her own name.

Although the lady asked her to call her sister, she refused. However, she saw everything the lady did in the past two days and she really treated her like a younger sister.

And deep down, she really regarded the lady as her own sister.

Such a gentle and kind sister has many weaknesses.

She is gentle, so the servants think she is easy to bully. Kindness means that the lady does not have any drastic measures, so the servants will not be afraid of her.

Just like what happened today, a maid who entered the mansion dared to seduce the master so blatantly. If it is not curbed, what will happen in the future?
But she also knew that it would be difficult to make such a kind-hearted lady harden her heart.

So, since the lady couldn't bear to be cruel, she became the one to make the knife. She wanted to protect the lady, the sister who treated her like a younger sister.

……

Early in the morning, Chen Jie, Su Yunjin, Ruirui, and Xiaohu were sitting at the table eating.

Yin Hongmei stood aside, serving sideways.

Why did she turn sideways? Because she wanted to hide her injured face. She didn't want the lady to see her scratched face.

But Su Yunjin still saw it.

"Red plum."

"lady."

Su Yunjin said: "Come here, what about your face?"

"It's alright ma'am."

"It's all fine, it's all broken, what happened? Did they have a fight?"

Su Yunjin pulled Yin Hongmei over and spoke with heartache.

The little kid at the side also said, "Oh, Sister Hongmei, your face must be hurting."

"Hehe, it's okay, miss."

Yin Hongmei replied.

"Husband, please eat first. I'll take Hongmei to the back to deal with it."

"Ah, ma'am, no, it's just a minor injury, you should eat first."

"It's just a minor injury. As a girl, your face is very important. Come, follow me."

Su Yunjin pulled Yin Hongmei and walked towards the back.

But at this moment, Aster suddenly rushed in and knelt on the ground with a bang.

Then he kowtowed three times to Su Yunjin. Everyone around was stunned. Su Yunjin also asked, "Cui Ju, what are you doing?"

Cui Ju cried, "Madam, I was wrong. I shouldn't have massaged Master's shoulders yesterday. I won't do it again. Please forgive me!"

Then he kowtowed three times.

Hu Zi was confused and the bun in his mouth no longer tasted good. What happened?

Ruirui was chewing the meat bun in his mouth, staring at Cuiju, not understanding what was wrong with massaging his brother-in-law's shoulders.

Chen Jie was stunned at first, then looked at Yin Hongmei standing beside him.

But she remained expressionless. Su Yunjin turned to look at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie picked up the bowl, blew on the porridge and pretended not to see it. There were some things that Su Yunjin had to learn to handle on her own. After all, she was the mistress of the house.

Although Su Yunjin was weak, he was not stupid. He looked at Cui Ju who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Hong Mei who had a wound on her face, as if he understood something.

At this time she said: "Oh, this matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again, you just need to do your work with all your heart."

"Okay, you go down first."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Cui Ju immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Chen Jie didn't say a word from beginning to end.

On the other side, Su Yunjin nodded to Chen Jie and walked to the back with Yin Hongmei.

Xiaohu asked, "Brother, what happened yesterday?"

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "It's okay. By the way, Xiaohu, how old are you now? Isn't it time for you to get married? Which girl do you like? Tell me and I'll help you propose."

"Brother, don't worry about it. I just want to concentrate on practicing with my sword. A girl can only affect my speed in drawing the sword."

Chen Jie said: "You kid."

After that, Chen Jie said, "It just so happens that I have two good knives in my hand. Which one do you like? I'll give you one."

Chen Jie did have two good swords in his hand, one was Feng San's golden sword, and the other was the ring-handled sword used by Zheng Chuan.

They were all made with top-quality craftsmanship. After Chen Jie killed them, he collected all the weapons.

After hearing this, Xiao Hu said, "Haha, I want that ring-handled sword. The golden sword is too ostentatious."

Chen Jie said, "Okay, go to my study and get it later. Let's eat."

Chen explained and started eating.

At the same time, he recalled the information he had obtained last night.

Not many of the five pieces of intelligence yesterday were useful, but one of them gave me an idea.

One of the reports said: Ying Er, the second of his adoptive father Peng Shizhong's twelve Eagle Guards, the man who brought him into the mansion yesterday, was actually in collusion with Feng Xuan.

Intelligence shows that Ying Er and Feng Xuan grew up together. They had similar experiences. Both came from a refugee group and were later adopted by Peng Shizhong. Due to his lack of talent, Ying Er was incorporated into the Eagle Guard and was not adopted as a son.

However, Ying Er and Feng Xuan learned everything from Peng Shizhong.

They had a very close relationship in the past, but had become distant in the past two years. However, Ying Er secretly told Feng Xuan a lot of important information.

It can be said that Ying Er is Feng Xuan’s man.

After reading the intelligence, Chen Jie was secretly shocked. Feng Xuan was really scary. He had even placed himself next to his adoptive father.

So is there anyone from Feng Xuan around me?
Chen Jie looked around himself. Xiaohu and Zhou Chu would be fine. Su Yunjin and Ruirui would be even finer. However, these maids, servants, and yard workers might not be a problem.

It seems that I should be more cautious.

Thinking of this, I ate the buns much slower.

The White Tiger Hall may seem peaceful, but if you take a closer look, you will find that things are really turbulent underneath.

However, everything still depends on strength. As long as you are strong enough, you will have greater ability to resist risks.

Don’t worry about these for now, just find a way to enter the state of Hua Jin.

The only thing I should do now is to quickly find the medicines needed for the [Hua Ling Dan]. The thirty-six auxiliary medicines should be enough, and the only things missing are the three main medicines.

[Jue Lingzi] I already have it.

[Spiritual Herb] Huang Wan'er said to herself.

Now the only thing missing is the 500-year-old [Blood Ganoderma]. 500 years old...

Chen Jie felt a headache. The hundred-year-old blood ganoderma was very hard to find. Wu Zhong almost died in the gray fog for the hundred-year-old blood ganoderma.

And now they want a 500-year-old one.

It’s not easy. Where can I find this 500-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum?
Chen Jie rubbed his eyebrows.

……

Back hall.

Su Yunjin took out a medicine box, which contained some medicines prepared by Chen Jie.

Su Yunjin looked at Yin Hongmei's swollen wound.

Although there is a blood scab on it, it will probably leave a scar if it heals.

Su Yunjin first found a small wine jar inside, opened it, and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

This is the high-proof liquor that Chen Jie distilled when he had nothing to do. It can be used as medical alcohol for disinfection.

Su Yunjin took the cotton ball and dipped it in some alcohol.

"It hurts a little, bear with it."

Su Yunjin said to Yin Hongmei, and Yin Hongmei smiled and said, "It's okay."

Su Yunjin wiped Yin Hongmei's wound with an alcohol cotton ball to disinfect it, and then found the golden wound medicine prepared by Chen Jie.

Chen explained that the knife wound would not leave any scars.

He took a cotton ball, dipped it in some and applied it on Yin Hongmei's wound.

"You, why are you fighting with her? Huhu..."

Su Yunjin blew air on the wound and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"You can't fight even if it doesn't hurt. You're so young, and they're sixteen or seventeen. You can't beat them."

"can."

Yin Hongmei did not give further explanation.

Su Yunjin said, "It was you who asked Cui Ju to come here and kowtow to apologize, right?"

Yin Hongmei said: "No, she volunteered."

"Hehe...you girl, do you think I'm a fool? There are still people in this world who are willing to do something like that."

Yin Hongmei stopped talking.

Su Yunjin said, "After a while, pack up and move to the room next to mine. Don't live with them anymore, or they'll bully you."

"No, ma'am. I am a servant, so how can I have the right to live in a house alone? It is against the rules."

Su Yunjin said: "Haha, what rules? I have the final say in this backyard."

Yin Hongmei said: "But."

"Alright, that's it. Be obedient. Also, no fighting in the future."

Su Yunjin packed up the medicine box and said, "Don't follow me this morning. Go pack up your things and take a rest."

"I don't need to rest."

"..."

Su Yunjin frowned.

Yin Hongmei said, "I want to learn calligraphy from you, Madam."

"Haha, okay, let's learn to write."

Su Yunjin smiled, then left the room and went outside. Chen Jie hadn't finished eating yet, so Su Yunjin sat next to him and said, "Husband, I want to tell you something. I want to set aside a separate room for Hongmei."

"Oh, okay."

Chen Jie agreed directly, and then Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "By the way, ask Hongmei if she is willing to practice martial arts. If she is, I can ask someone to teach her."

"Learn martial arts?"

Su Yunjin was stunned and didn't understand what Chen Jie meant, and Chen Jie didn't explain.

Just now, Xiaohu had gone out and asked Cui Ju and the other three maids about everything. Although this girl was ruthless enough, she had a very special feeling towards Su Yunjin.

He actually killed someone just because the maid got close to him and hurt Su Yunjin's feelings.

He is loyal, especially to Su Yunjin.

My own Jin'er is good in every way except that she is too kind-hearted and too nice to others. With this kind of personality, she lacks decisiveness as a mistress and is easily bullied by evil slaves.

Chen Jie has always wanted to change Su Yunjin, but being kind is not a bad thing. Any way he tries to change her would be a bit cruel to his wife.

Therefore, we can only find someone to complement each other. Yin Hongmei is a good choice. And from this incident, we can see that she is loyal enough to my wife. She can be trained and can help my wife in the future.

In fact, Chen Jie still likes the kind-hearted lady rather than the scheming and cruel lady.

Since you don't want to change your wife, you can only find a way to strengthen her!
