The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 14 The Curse of the Ji Family

Speaking of the second son of the Ji Mansion, it is quite interesting. First of all, his surname is not Ji but Chu, and his name is Yanqiu. This second son was the only legitimate son born to the second master Ji and his beloved wife, the Princess of Liangzhou. Liangzhou is a city in the northwest frontier of Dajue State. This city has been a place where heroes fight for the world since ancient times. Although it faces the borders of Dajue, Daqi and Tianjing, it does not belong to any of these three countries. Therefore, this Liangzhou city is equivalent to a small country, and the city lord is equivalent to a monarch. His daughter met the second master Ji when they were young, and they fell in love. The lord of Liangzhou City loved his daughter so much that he had to agree to this marriage. At that time, it was considered a political marriage in the eyes of the Dajue State, so she was given the title of Princess and married to the second master Ji.

Because they promised the city lord that their first child would be inherited by him, Chu Yanqiu took his maternal grandfather's surname since he was born.

After giving birth to Chu Yanqiu, the second master and his wife had planned to try their best to have seven or eight more children. But after fifteen years of hard work, they still had no children. The old couple of the Ji family and the second master and his wife begged the Lord of Liangzhou City to return Chu Yanqiu. The Lord of Liangzhou City loved his daughter so much that he had to give up Chu Yanqiu and send her back to the Ji family, but announced that Chu Yanqiu would still be the next Lord of Liangzhou City.

Chu Yanqiu has been stunning everyone since he returned to the capital at the age of fifteen. Not only is he talented, but he is also good at both civil and military affairs. As soon as he returned to the capital, he was promoted by the emperor. In addition, his appearance is also very eye-catching. He has a physique that attracts peach blossoms and attracts a large number of admirers wherever he goes. He can be said to be a beauty that brings disaster to the country.

But this Mr. Chu is now 25 years old and has not taken a concubine, let alone a wife. It's not that he is chaste, he is also a frequent visitor to the brothel Chu House. As for why no one can find out, so people just think that this man is almost perfect and it's unfortunate that he has a weird temper.

In fact, they didn't know that this almost perfect Second Master Chu had an addiction for twenty years.

It’s hard to describe in a few words.

Mr. Chu should have been in his bridal chamber, enjoying his four concubines, but he was in a dungeon set up in his mansion because he had captured two people whom he had been trying so hard to capture.

The people in the dungeon were hung up and had been tortured. Master Chu stood in front of them. Xiao Yaozi beside him ordered the guards to bring a chair. He wiped the chair carefully before inviting Master Chu to sit down.

Master Chu looked at the prisoners who looked disdainful at him and said, "Tell me where you are hiding. If you tell me, you will suffer less. I knew that you, the alien race who can instigate poisonous insects and zombies, would not do anything good. What did you do with the corpses in the mass grave? Do you know that all places outside the city have been infected with unknown diseases? Hand over the antidote quickly."

It turned out that the foreigners he was talking about were Qingque's subordinates. They were originally four people, and they were ordered by Zuncong Qingque to negotiate with the miracle doctor in the thatched cottage. Qingque asked them to tell the old man that the antidote for the plague he wanted was about to be developed, and asked him to wait for two more days and take good care of the compatriots under the old man's command and not to abuse them, otherwise he would not give him the real antidote.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yanqiu's men came to the thatched cottage for inspection, and Chu Yanqiu went there personally. When the old man saw Chu Yanqiu, he didn't know what he heard, but he sold the four of them on the spot without any backbone. When the four saw that they couldn't escape, they thought of fighting to the death, but in the end, two brothers died but they were still caught.

These two prisoners were really wronged. They were arrested for no reason and accused of spreading the epidemic. Faced with such a fool who was prejudiced against foreigners, they had no way of explaining themselves.

Shen Yanqiu ordered his men to whip them a few more times, but the guards outside hurried in and whispered in his ear, "The Second Wife is here." He had no choice but to ask them to stop and go back to deal with his mother first. He knew it was not easy to get them to confess. Judging from their appearance, they were not the leaders of this group. He should think of a way to lure out their accomplices, so he was not in a hurry.

When he opened the dungeon door, he looked up and saw the second grandmother standing in front of him. The second grandmother looked at her son with no anger or joy on her face. Shen Yanqiu felt helpless. He walked forward and bowed, calling "Mother."

"The noble ladies from various mansions have been carried in, and your mother and I have drunk their daughter-in-law tea one by one. The ceremony is considered complete. No matter how unwilling you are, you can't send this person back. Since you have agreed to take a concubine, you will have to have a wedding night sooner or later. Why are you being so shy? You even use the excuse of official business to come to this unlucky dungeon. You want to use the excuse that seeing blood is unlucky as not to have a wedding night, right? As a mother, I tell you, you can't do that." As she said that, the second wife hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her son's collar, and dragged him back.

This rude action made the elegant Second Young Master extremely embarrassed. Second Mistress was a martial artist, so she pulled this grown man without any effort. Chu Yanqiu respected his mother very much, and although he was embarrassed, he did not dare to pull her hand away. He could only follow his mother with red ears and coax her while walking.

The situation on the side of Ji Ziyan from the first wife's house was even more unsettled.

They happily brought the sedan chairs of the two concubines to the door, and Master and Mrs. Ji gave their daughters-in-law the tea ceremony.

Grandma Ji started talking about her son's marriage. This son's wife was her niece, and Grandma Ji had done her best to promote it. Now her son and his family had agreed to the marriage, and Grandma Ji's wish was about to be fulfilled. She brought it up at this time, saying that it was a happy event that doubled the happiness.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ziyin said, "I'm afraid you can't marry your cousin."

The grandmother immediately frowned upon hearing this and scolded her son, "What do you mean you can't marry her? Are you going to make trouble again? Both families have discussed this matter, how can you change it so easily? You had already agreed to it before, and now it's even more intimate, and you change your mind again. Are you planning to offend your grandparents? And your old lady, are you going to piss her off to death?"

Master Ji also looked unhappy. He knew that his stubborn son always made things difficult for him.

Ji Ziyin did not argue, but took out the bright yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to the master, saying, "This is the emperor's order, father will understand it after reading it."

When the master heard that it was an imperial edict, he hurriedly took it respectfully and opened it carefully.

After reading it, the master was confused at first, and then he said to his son in embarrassment: "Isn't this telling you that you can't marry? Do you agree to this?"

Ji Ziyin said: "You, my Lord, agreed to it at the time. It is not easy for me to disobey you. Besides, it is an imperial decree. Who dares to disobey it?"

"Then does that mean we will no longer have a legitimate son in this family?" The eldest master was so anxious that the veins on his neck popped out.

Ji Ziyin said: "You know that the male servants of the emperor's West Palace were on the same level as the princesses of our dynasty during the reign of Emperor Shengzong, and it was stipulated that they could marry multiple sons of noble families at the same time."

"That was during the Holy Emperor's era. Two generations have passed now, and the rule has long been changed." The second master said hurriedly.

"Yes! It has been changed. In order to ensure the purity of the Li family's immortal bloodline, the emperor first stipulated that Xigong should be included in his harem. However, the emperor's immortals calculated that he would have few offspring, and he was afraid that the Li family's immortal bloodline would not be able to give birth to a child, so he had to change it again, stipulating that only royal descendants can marry into the Li family. The Li family is the descendant of the immortals, and our Ji family has been childless for 20 years. When the emperor mentioned the Ji family's curse, he thought of letting the Li family marry into our family. Perhaps marrying in the immortal bloodline can break our curse."

The confused grandmother silently recited the decree, "He was named a prince with the same salary as General Ji. This title is higher than Ziyin's official position... Isn't it said that Tong Xianyu's father was a servant who was a pet by the side of the fairy concubine Tong? Why did the emperor confer such a high title on him? If I had known that no wife could hold down such a high title, why would my family agree to let him marry in?"

At this moment, the official rushed in from outside. After bowing, he hurriedly said, "It's bad. The fox ancestor who followed us ran away, and Master Tong also chased after him. The two of them have already left the house and disappeared."
