Chapter 248 Remediation of stepmother

Chen Danxiao was not concerned about whom to marry Xu Chao, and the mansion was busy with Zhongyuan Festival. After two days, it was the Zhongyuan Festival on July 15th, commonly known as the Ghost Festival; on the 15th of the first lunar month, the Heavenly Officials were blessed, the Zhongyuan Festival on July 15th, the earthly officials pardoned sins, and on October 15th of the first lunar month, the water officials resolved the disaster.

Chen Danxia was pregnant, but she didn't go out to set up the lamp, worshiped her ancestors at home, and burned paper money. Chen Danxia put paper money into the brazier while looking at Chen Danxia's belly with a bad look. Chen Danxia was keen and noticed that she was a precious jadeware now, and she dared not or wanted to fight against Chen Danxia's rubble. She couldn't afford to offend her, but she could afford to hide.

Chen Danxia carefully stayed away from Chen Danxia, ​​and then found an excuse to leave first. When he was about to reach the corner, Mo Wang, who was originally following Shen Danxia, ​​walked a few steps, and then he saw a little maid running over rashly.

Mo Wang kicked the little maid several feet away. The little maid fainted after a whistle. Seeing this, a maid secretly followed him was so scared that she fled in panic. Chen Danxia walked over slowly and looked at the little maid with a lantern. Mo Si identified it and said, "Grandma, this is Xiao Ju in the needle and thread room. Her aunt is working in the wife's room."

Chen Danxia sneered and said, "Take it down and ask carefully."

"Yes." Mo Shi grabbed the little maid's clothes and took the person away.

Chen Danxia returned to Lingxi Courtyard safely. After waiting for a while, Xu Lang, who was called to the outer courtyard by Xu Kui, also came back. However, Chen Danxia did not tell Xu Lang what she had just done. Don’t upset him if she could solve it.

It is impossible to kill Chen Meigu, but it is possible to scare her and make her feel uncomfortable. Chen Danxia asked Mo Wang to ask Dr. Hao for medicine powder, and asked Mo to leave to catch the snake and the mouse, and then sent the snake and the mouse to Yilan Courtyard.

The flames in Yilan Courtyard were lit all night. The next day, the dark girl asked the maid to clean up the yard next to her and she went to take a break. However, before she could sleep for a long time, she was awakened by the severe pain in her stomach, and then she kept running to the cottage.

Chen Meiwei was so weak that her legs were weak in the cottage. She asked the maid to invite Doctor Mao over with weak energy. Doctor Hao, she dared not use it. Doctor Mao diagnosed Chen Meiwei's pulse and said, "My wife ate unclean food, which caused diarrhea. I prescribed a dose of medicine. The lady should be able to stop it if she drinks it..."

Before he could speak, Chen Meiwei put out a loud stinky fart, and her belly seemed to be torn by something. She covered her stomach with pain. She didn't bother to talk to Dr. Mao, and ran to the cottage. Dr. Mao shook his head and sighed, raised his hand to fan the air, and wrote the prescription at the table with pen and ink, and handed it to the people around Chen Meiwei, and asked them to pick up the medicine and boil it for Chen Meiwei to drink.

Doctor Mao left with the medical treatment fee. The maid asked the servant to pick up the medicine and boil it for the concubine Chen. Chen Gu drank the medicine and stopped the diarrhea, but after she had lunch, she started running to the ward, stopped the medicine and stopped it, and after dinner, she continued to diarrhea. Chen Gu who had had diarrhea for almost all day had no strength to settle the score with the kitchen staff. That night, a few mice and a snake got into the room, which made her sleepless all night again.

The strangeness of Yilan Courtyard caused the Qin and Wang to gloat. After talking for a while, Qin smiled twice and said, "I feel happy that the old witch who has been in trouble all day long has suffered."

"God has eyes." Wang echoed.

After Chen Danxia knew what the two of them had to do, she smiled and felt quite good as God.

After Chen Danxia was tortured for three days, Chen Danxia spared her, for fear that she would continue to torture her, so Chen Danxia died. Chen Ning was Xu Lang's stepmother. If she died, she would have to be mourned for three years. Chen Danxia didn't want to suffer this when she was a big belly.

Chen Meiwei rested for two days and recovered her spirit. The official media also brought her good news. The Lin'an Master agreed to this marriage. The reason why Lin'an Master agreed to this marriage was because the eldest daughter was not young, but because of the birthmark on her face, the marriage was not going well, and the eldest daughter did not get married. The second daughter and the third daughter were not good at kinship. The second was that Sun Qiao was not valued by the emperor. Taipu Temple was the place where horses were governed, but the emperor trusted more was Changning Bo. Even though the fire in Hantao Mountain Villa last time and the horses were stolen, the emperor only scolded Changning Bo and fined him three years of salary to continue raising the horses. The Lin'an Master wanted to join the Xu Chen family with this marriage.

Chen Gong asked his maid to call Xu Chao over and tell him the great joy. Xu Chao touched his chin, "How is the eldest daughter of the Sun family?"

Chen Meili had never seen Sun Zhenniang, but there was a red birthmark on Sun Zhenniang's face. Chen Meili had heard that no one knew her son, but Chen Meiliang certainly knew that Xu Chao was a person who liked beauty. Chen Meiliang said in a deep voice: "Marry a wife and a virtuous person, they are good-looking but not suitable for food."

Xu Chao knew that no matter how Sun Zhenniang looked, he would have to marry her, and she looked unhappy. Shen Meng pretended not to see her and said, "You are not young anymore. You will let Sun pass the sect at the end of the year. In order to make Sun beautiful, I will send all the girls in your yard."

"No, you sent them all away. Who will serve me?" Xu Chao was unhappy and married an ugly wife. He gritted his teeth and endured it. How could he send all the beautiful concubines and maids away?

"If you want to serve more people, after Sun enters the door and becomes pregnant, I will give you a few more girls, so that they will surely be more beautiful than they are now." Chen Gun comforted him.

Xu Chao was tired of playing with the girl in his room, and heard this and said, "My mother has to count on her words."

"Count the number, when will the mother not count when she says?" Chen Gun Heng said with a glance.

Xu Chao laughed and said, "That's all I can hear."

"Okay, okay, it's my mother's good son." Chen Gun smiled with satisfaction.

The mother and son talked for a while, and then Xu Chao left and returned to his yard.

As the days passed, Chen Danxia unexpectedly learned that Cheng Jue was demoted to Kui County as the county magistrate; after Xu Lang came back in the evening, Chen Danxia asked the reason, "Brother Lang, why did Cheng Er Ge be demoted?"

Xu Lang kept hiding this from Chen Danxia. Unexpectedly, she already knew about it, so she stopped hiding it and said: "He found that the whereabouts of the person who stole the silver treasury was unfavorable."

Although the number of gold and silver ingots is large and it takes more than ten carts to transport it, it is dead after all. Unlike horses that need to be fed, it is much luckier than horses.

"But Brother Cheng caught the horse thief. Can't he compare his merits and demerits?" Chen Danxia asked with a frown.

Xu Lang held Chen Danxia's hand and said, "Jiu'er, thunder, rain and dew are all emperor's kindness."

Chen Danxia instantly understood, leaned forward in Xu Lang's arms, and said nothing more.

"Cheng Jue is not an incompetent person. He will make great achievements when he goes to Kui County." Xu Lang gently stroked her back.

A light flashed in Chen Danxia's eyes. Could it be that this time the demotion was made of another purpose? "Where is Kui County?"

"To the south, it's very close to the sea." Xu Lang replied.

"Are Japanese pirates often attacking there?" Chen Danxia asked.

Xu Lang sighed slightly and said, "Jiu'er, you are too keen." This statement was equivalent to confirming Chen Danxia's guess.

It's true.

Chen Danxia's eyes flashed through, "When will Brother Cheng leave Beijing? Let's go see him off."

"I'm going out of the city to see him off this morning." Xu Lang's lips curled up.

"I'm not demoted, why are you so anxious to take up your post?" Chen Danxia asked.

"The former county magistrate colluded with the Japanese pirates and was reported. Lord Cheng must rush to deal with the mess as soon as possible." Xu Lang explained.

Chen Danxia raised his eyebrows, "Ha, it's really a mess."

The two of them chatted a few more times, and the topic turned towards a strange method. They talked about crabs. Chen Danxia looked down at his belly with a little curve and said, "With this little guy here, I can't eat crabs this year." After thinking about it, "You are not allowed to eat them either."

It is rare to see Chen Danxia show his coquettish side, and smiled and said, "Okay, I won't eat, I'll accompany you."

Chen Danxia was satisfied.

The next day, Xu Xiang returned to his parents' home crying. The concubine Chen was happy about Xu Chao's marriage these days. Seeing her daughter coming back with a sad face, she felt a little unlucky and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you?"

"Mother, Ge Zhuang wants to take the second wife." Xu Xiang cried.

After hearing this, his parents were not surprised at all. Xu Xiang had been married to the Ge family for four years and had never been pregnant. If the Xu family had not been stronger than the Ge family, the Ge family would have let Ge Zhuangna have had a second wife.

"Who is he going to accept?" asked Chen Gong.

"Mother, I don't want him to accept it." Xu Xiang shouted sharply.

"Sister Wang, you can't stop this." Shen Gun said calmly.

"Mother, if you ask your father and a few brothers to come forward, you can definitely stop me. Mom, please help me." Xu Xiang begged crying.

Chen Pei pulled the veil and helped Xu Feng wipe his tears, "Sister Wang, whether it is the second wife or the concubine, they are just things. Don't take them to heart. Who doesn't have many concubines in your father or brother..."

"The third brother has no concubine. Chen Danxia is pregnant and has no one to add anyone." Xu Xiang interrupted her.

"Chen Danxia has the means. Can she let Xu Lang guard her and treat other women as nothing, can you?" Chen Gong asked.

Xu Feng was speechless. Apart from her, his wife, Ge Zhuang had always had two maids who had served him since childhood.

"I don't know what's going on with your stomach? It's been four years, but there's no movement. If Ge Zhuang took the second wife and gave birth to your son, you'll be done." Chen Gu's wife said in a hatred.

"Mother, the second wife Ge Zhuang wanted to take was his distant cousin. His butt was round and big, and he looked like he was easy to raise. Mother, what should I do?" Xu Xiang was so panicked that the sky fell. The second wife and the girl from the Tongfang were different. According to the Dafeng law, if Xu Xiang could not give birth to a legitimate son, then the son born to the second wife could be regarded as a legitimate son, inheriting the Ge family's property, and even the legitimate mother's dowry.

Chen Gong also knew the great relationship here and said, "You can't let that second wife give birth to a child."

"What should I do?" Xu Xiang asked.

"Give her a sterilization medicine." A fierce light flashed in Chen Meigu's eyes.

Xu Feng's eyes lit up, "Mother, come and find medicine for me, I will find a way to let her drink it."

The mother and daughter discussed it again, and Xu Xiang went back. Chen Pei's wife instructed her confidant mother to buy sterilization medicine. This matter was different from Shen Pei's arrangement to seduce Xu Lang and knock on Chen Danxia. She took a long time to do things, so she gave Xu Lang the people who were placed by Shen Pei's wife a chance so that she could report the matter to Xu Lang to know.

After learning about this, Xu Lang's first reaction was that what Chen Pei wanted to deal with was Chen Danxia, ​​but after some investigation, he found out that Chen Pei was helping Xu Pei find medicine, and he wanted to deal with the second room where Ge Zhuang was about to be brought into the door.

Xu Lang curled the corners of his lips and said to his subordinates: "Help her."

"Lord, if she abuses this medicine, it will harm many people." His subordinate reminded him.

"Who said that I would give her that medicine? Give her some wardrobe powder?" Xu Lang said calmly.

The subordinates took the order and left.

The Ge family wanted to inform the Xu family because Xu Xiang has not given birth to a man and half a woman for Ge Zhuang so far, and even Mrs. Xu was not easy to object. Therefore, Ge Zhuang's acceptance of the second wife was decided. There was no need to perform six rituals, so the Ge family was also anxious to ask Ge Zhuang to add children. On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the woman surnamed Qi came in.

The second wife is a concubine. Although the Ge family also has wine, the well-known family will not come to eat this wedding banquet, and as Xu Xiang's family, they will not come. Xu Xiang was wearing a big red dress and sat at the banquet with a decent smile on his face.

Qi walked in with a pink look and greeted the tea, "Sister, please have tea."

Xu Xiang felt so upset that he didn't drink a sip, but just did it and gave him a reward. "From the future, he will serve the uncle and spread the branches and leaves for the Ge family."

"I will definitely serve my uncle and sister well in the future." Qi said obediently.

Qi was sent to a small courtyard decorated with a new house. She was a second wife and had a higher status than ordinary concubines. The Ge family prepared a separate two-enterprise courtyard for her. After all, it was not a formal wife, and there was no need to sit on the bed to lift the veil. Ge Zhuang went to toast directly, and Xu Xiang took his maid back to his yard.

Xu Xiang took off his makeup, changed into a light household clothes, and tilted on the couch, with a serious expression. After a while, the maid brought the food. Xu Xiang ate half a bowl of rice, but it was hard to swallow. He continued to tilt on the couch, looking straight at the front with his eyes.

As Ye Mu came, Xu Feng's wet nurse walked in and whispered: "Girl, everything is done. I'll see her drinking with my own eyes."

"The pot and cup can be taken away and cleaned," Xu Xiang asked.

"Don't worry, girl, clean the pot and cup and put it back in the warehouse." The wet nurse smiled.

"Okay." Xu Xiang smiled with a heart-warming smile and said that the girl came in to serve the meal.

Chen Danxia had no idea what happened in the Ge family. She felt that the weather was particularly hot today, which made her eat without appetite, so she asked Mo Shu to share the pastries that she couldn't eat with the gangster servants.

After Mo Shu came back from delivering the pastry, he walked to the door and was frightened by the rats that suddenly rushed out. He hurriedly ran into the house, "Grandma, there are so many mice at the door."

"Rat?" Chen Danxia looked at Mo Li, and Mo Li shook his head. It was not her who caught it. Besides, she would not put it in Lingxiyuan even if she caught the mouse. She scared grandma and the third master had to peel her skin.

"I don't know what's going on these two days? Not only the mice rushed out, but the toads also came out, and the fish raised in the pond kept jumping." Xi's wife walked in and said.

"The autumn tiger is peeling hot, and even the beast can't stand it." Mrs. Fu sighed.

Chen Danxia heard their words, frowned slightly, lowered his head to ponder. This phenomenon seemed to have been read in the book.
