The Demon Concubine of God

In the mansion of Duke Ji in Kyoto, in the courtyard of the second branch of the Ji family, the servants and maids who were busy cleaning the house saw the mother carrying a red pear blossom tray and a soup bowl, and they hurriedly bowed and greeted her. The mother walked hurriedly, not caring about the red tape, and went straight into the main room of Honghui Hall.

"Second Madam is in trouble. Second Young Master is angry."

The one who reported to the main room was Aunt Yinhua, Madam Ji's personal servant.

Aunt Yinhua said in panic, "Second Master was really angry this time. The substitute was finally discovered, and he stabbed her to death."

Second Madam Ji was also surprised and asked, "What?"

But then Second Grandma Ji regained her composure and said, "This is also expected, but I feel that it happened a little too fast."

Aunt Yinhua said, "The second young master brought the substitute to see you before, and you later told me that she was a fake. I didn't believe it and said it was impossible for someone to look so much like her. Later, I went to the fake's room many times to observe, and then I believed it. Although the fake has an identical face, it has a different personality. This one is too cowardly and easy-going. Humph! If it was the real one, she would have turned our Duke Ji upside down in just one or two days in our house."

When Mrs. Ji heard her say this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

About seven or eight days ago, Chu Yanqiu suddenly brought the seventeenth son of the Shen family to her courtyard. This action meant that she was officially bringing her beloved to meet her elders.

Second Grandma Ji was sitting at the top. When she saw Shen Wen for the first time, she noticed something strange. She also wondered why such a completely different woman could deceive his son so easily with a similar face.

His son was really sick, and Second Grandma Ji blamed herself for this. The son she had raised for so many years was unknowingly trained by that person to become what that person wanted him to be.

Since she found out, Second Madam Ji couldn't eat or sleep and was worried all day. At this moment, when she heard Aunt Yinhua say that her son had killed a fake, she stood up from her seat and said, "Let's go and take a look."

And Chu Yanqiu's yard.

At this moment, all the servants, from top to bottom, were silent as a mouse and dared not utter a word.

Standing at the gate of the yard, I listened to the sound of porcelain bowls breaking in the main room.

Chu Yanqiu sat in the main hall, his face livid.

Chi He, who was under him, was worried that his master's illness would get worse because of anger, and he would get angry and kill innocent people. He saluted with trembling hands and said, "Master, calm down. I think this may not be Master Shen Shiqi teasing you. There must be something behind it. Let me personally take people to investigate. Maybe... if someone else replaced the fake with the real, then Master Shen Shiqi might be in trouble. What do you think, Master?"

When Chu Yanqiu heard Chi He's words, he calmed down and thought about the possibilities behind this matter.

He felt that Shen Wen was too weak to find a substitute who looked exactly like him in a short period of time to trick him.

Chu Yanqiu wondered who might have the ability to exchange Shen Wen's fake eyes for the real one in Deyi Winery.

At this time, someone outside reported that Second Madam Ji had arrived.

After saying that, sure enough, Second Madam Ji came to the door with the support of Aunt Yinhua.

Chu Yanqiu welcomed his mother to the main seat, and then heard Second Grandma Ji say, "What those villains did could not escape your eyes after all."

Chu Yanqiu asked: "Mother, do you know who did this?"

Second Grandma Ji shook her head.

Second Madam Ji looked at Aunt Yinhua and said, "You have come into contact with the fake Seventeenth Master Shen several times. Can you tell me what is so special about that fake?"

Aunt Yinhua said, "His manners are dignified and elegant, his actions are steady and generous, and his conversation is elegant and cautious. If I hadn't seen what the real Seventeenth Young Master of the Shen Family was like before, I would have really thought that a person raised by a noble family should be like the fake Seventeenth Young Master Shen. It's really fate that one face can bring out two different people."

Second Madam Ji was amused by his sarcastic remarks which were both praise and criticism.

She said: "Although what I said was a bit harsh to the real Seventeenth Master Shen, I really didn't lie. I think the fake Seventeenth Master you brought to me is quite suitable for you."

As she said this, she looked at Chu Yanqiu.

Chu Yanqiu said, "What's there to brag about? Isn't he just a respectable person who fits the description of a noble family? Speaking of that fake, I really have to tell you that he is just pretending. He is actually a ruthless bastard. The two personal maids who served in his room were abused by him. Even the servants in the whole courtyard only dared to resent him in their hearts and dared not tell the truth to others. It shows how powerful he is."

Aunt Yinhua was obviously dissatisfied and couldn't help asking, "Who dares to say that the real one is not like this?"

This made Second Madam Ji glare at her.

Chu Yanqiu's face was obviously unhappy, but he soon laughed and said, "He is different. If he wants to punish someone, he will definitely make a big fuss and make that person's life worse than death."

Second Madam Ji held her forehead with her hand!

His silly son!

Since her son could still laugh, Second Grandma Ji left with peace of mind.

Chu Yanqiu was thinking about things alone in the room. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he jumped out of the window and flew out of Duke Ji's mansion.

Chu Yanqiu ordered Chi He to go to Deyi Winery to investigate and asked about everything that happened during his stay at Deyi Winery in detail.

Chihe got some clues from Fu'er, the maid who was sent to the farm.

Chu Yanqiu didn't care whether this counted as evidence or not. After it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he went straight to the Shen Mansion. When old Lord Shen was sleeping soundly, he broke the window and stood in front of the bed like a ghost, staring at him.

How could the old marquis, who was enjoying his family life at such an age, have thought that one day he would be spied on at night? His eyes, which were originally blurry, suddenly widened, stretching out the wrinkles on the old book cover, his gray hair stood up, and he pointed at Chu Yanqiu with a trembling finger, almost fainting.

"You...what are you going to do?"

With the help of a little moonlight outside, Lord Shen spoke to the dark shadow in front of the bed while panting.

Chu Yanqiu snorted with great disdain, "The substitute you sent out is dead! You have caused such a big mess, and you are still able to sleep? What do you have to say about Lord Shen's matter?"

The old marquis had already been frightened out of his wits by his horrible appearance, and did not recognize that he was Chu Yanqiu at all.

The old marquis' ears were buzzing, and he asked, "What? Say it again? I didn't hear it clearly."

Chu Yanqiu didn't care whether he was pretending to be stupid or not. He slapped Lord Shen in the face, knocking the old man unconscious. Then he dismantled his house until only four pillars were left, supporting the roof.

Chu Yanqiu looked at the only remaining roof, jumped over it one by one, and even did not spare other people's roofs. He poked a big hole in it before leaving.

After he left, the Shen family was in chaos. The masters and servants in each household and courtyard were beating drums and gongs and making a lot of noise. Some were trying to catch thieves, some were trying to call for doctors, and some were trying to guard against thieves. There was an endless stream of chaos and disorder.

When Chu Yanqiu returned to the Ji Mansion, he did not sit idle and immediately sent out seven or eight spies and guards to keep an eye on the actions of the Shen Mansion while searching for the whereabouts of Shen Wen. He even used the spies in the palace to keep an eye on the actions of the palace.

The next night, Chu Yanqiu went to the Shen Mansion again.

This time, Lord Shen hid in the shrine of the small Buddhist temple, thinking that he was safe.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yanqiu found him again, and in the dark, he slapped Lord Shen to death, and dismantled the small Buddhist temple, leaving only four pillars and a roof with a hole in it.

Lord Shen was rescued the next day, but due to his emotional excitement, he took a few breaths, his eyes rolled back and he died again. Fortunately, the doctor who saved him had not left yet, and he gave him acupuncture and massage, and finally saved Lord Shen.

After Lord Shen was settled, he sent away the family members who came to take care of him, and left his eldest son and second son to talk.

The eldest son said with lingering fear: "Father, what should we do? That thief is so powerful. He didn't do it for money or profit. He demolished two of our houses in a row. He is not only arrogant but also mocking and provocative. If this continues, the people of the whole capital will laugh at our Shen family to death."

The second son also said, "A few days ago, our family was ransacked and our young people were beheaded. It was already embarrassing enough. Now those low-class bandits treat our family as a market where they can come and go as they please. Who will be cautious and respectful to our family in the future?"

The old marquis coughed twice, curled his lips and snorted, "What do they know? Aren't they just small thieves? I have many elite soldiers and generals. If that ghost dares to come again tonight, I will definitely take him down."

Master Shen Da didn't know the meaning of this, but Master Shen Er knew.

Lord Shen remembered what the ghost said to him the night before.

Lord Shen said to Lord Shen II, "There is something you need to do right away. Is our spy in the Ji family still here? Ask him to check if the substitute is safe and sound. If the substitute is dead, you should go to the manor right away to check. The other substitutes cannot be left behind. If they are found out by the Ji family, especially by Chu Yanqiu, it will be a bad ending. Do you understand what I want you to do?"

Upon hearing this, Master Shen couldn't help but hesitate and said, "But those... those are the ones we have spent so much effort to raise for so many years! Are we going to kill them just like that? Or leave one or two behind?"

Lord Shen shouted angrily, "You are so stupid! You killed so many people, and you still care about those one or two? I am also sad about this matter, but now is a critical moment. We can't let a small mistake ruin the good situation that has just started. When we are fighting a lawsuit with the Ji family, the evidence will be sent to the Ji family or the emperor."

The eldest master sighed and said, "Alas! Our little emperor is fickle-minded, and he never sides with us in every lawsuit. Father is right."

Mr. Shen had no choice but to obey his father's wishes.

It was a pity for Master Shen, because he found out later that the beauties he had sought out for pleasure in the past were actually from that farm.

After Lord Shen gave his instructions to Second Master Shen, Lord Shen gave his instructions to First Master Shen, "Your Seventh Brother has been hit so hard that he still hasn't recovered. There is really no one at home who can help, so I have no choice but to ask you to do it. Little Seventeen has not been found yet. I will send two good hands to you later. You must find Little Seventeen for me no matter what."
