The Demon Concubine of God

Madam Xu's deal with Cao Chen was not successful. Normally, decent women would stay at home, so if they wanted to succeed, they had to stage a show to seduce her. They tricked her out of the Waterside Tower, arranged for servants who might know about it in advance, and then tied her up and carried her to Cao Chen's courtyard. They had no idea that Shen Wen was a variable, and she didn't stay in the Waterside Tower waiting for them to seduce her.

Cao Chen was impatient. When the time came, there was no beauty for him to enjoy. He was angry and sent a message to Madam Xu, asking her to find a maid to serve him no matter what. Madam Xu was also cruel. She was afraid of Cao Chen's threat, so she gave up her maid to Cao Chen. Madam Xu didn't know that her maid was also cunning. She seduced Jiang'er to be her scapegoat.

After the incident, Cao Chen, who was half injured, pretended to be pitiful and said, "I bought a maid to serve me. Yesterday I specially asked for the maid to serve me. How could I know the maid next to Madam Shangguan? It was supposed to be a happy and beautiful thing, but who knew that the maid was a beast. She hurt me like this, who can I complain to?"

Master Ma asked, "Then...how did Jiang'er get all those injuries? Did you beat her?"

Cao Chen said: "I was the one who beat her. This is my only hobby. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought those beggar girls from the street, right? When I bought them, they knew about my hobby and were willing to sell themselves to serve me. At that time, this girl had her mouth blocked by me. When I wanted her, I always... always stimulated her. After I favored her, I took the thing out of her mouth. Every girl I bought was pampered by me like this, and they all let me do whatever I wanted. Who knew that she was actually... You don't know how scary she was at that time, just like the evil ghost in the eighteen levels of hell..."

Having said this, Cao Chen was still extremely frightened and kept shaking.

Wen Qingyun ordered people to interrogate Cao Chen's servants. The servant who carried Jiang'er back last night admitted that he did everything. He only said: "Jiang'er was unfaithful to her husband. Master Chen's pendant was lost in the garden when he visited Master Ji. When I went to look for it, I met this girl. I didn't know which room she was from. She thought I was Master Chen and asked me to do something lewd. I knocked her out and carried her back to Master Chen's room."

Officer Ma then asked him about the details of the crime, including: "Did no one see you at the time? Did the gatekeeper let you go?"

The servant said, "I bribed her with money when I went in. You know how it is possible for a man like us to enter the garden at night. It was only for Master Chen's pendant that I had to bribe the servants and women along the way and asked them to leave their posts for a while until I found the pendant and then go back to work."

In the end, the servant took on everything.

Just as everyone was discussing Jiang'er's murder, someone came to report: "Yinsuo, a maid in Madam Xu's courtyard, came to report Jiang'er's murder."

After the silver lock was brought up, she knelt down and said, "Jiang'er's death is related to my Madam Xu. Originally, it was me who died, not Jiang'er. They just kidnapped the wrong person by mistake. My Madam Xu was jealous of Miss Shen from Shuixie Tower who was favored by the second young master, so she asked Master Chen to seduce Miss Shen. As a result, the plan failed, and Master Chen was unhappy. He insisted that my Madam Xu give him a maid to enjoy. So they tricked me into suffering, and I was unwilling to go and hide. Who knew that they mistook Jiang'er for me and she went in my place."

This matter was related to Chu Yanqiu's family affairs. Wen Qingyun only settled the case related to Jiang'er's murder and did not interfere in other matters.

Jiang'er was indeed the murderer. Many servants saw it that night. Although it was caused by Cao Chen's abuse and rape, Cao Chen was also a victim. If Cao Chen did abuse and rape, Jiang'er was just a maid. As long as her master did not pursue the matter and only paid some money, the matter would be resolved.

Although Jiang'er's mistress, Madam Shangguan, had a tough attitude on this matter, she was just a concubine of Chu Yanqiu after all. As long as Cao Chen begged Chu Yanqiu or his mother, Second Madam Ji, Second Madam Ji would have to let the matter go for the sake of his being a relative of the Ji family.

As for the matter of Madam Xu, since Chu Yanqiu has no legal wife, the matter of the concubine will only fall on Second Madam Ji.

So Chu Yanqiu, Madam Xu and Madam Shangguan went to the second grandmother's yard.

Even though Madam Xu did such a wicked thing, the Second Mistress still treated her with love as always and asked someone to bring a stool for her to sit on, opposite Madam Shangguan.

Madam Shangguan complained to her Jiang'er, and the Second Mistress comforted her more kindly, saying, "Dear daughter-in-law, you and your sister Xu are the same kind of people. It's just a maid who died. I heard that the girl was not a dutiful person. Moreover, she killed eight people in a row, which shows how crazy she is and how harmful she is. Fortunately, she was killed because of this incident. Otherwise, you don't know when you will be in trouble. In my opinion, you should ask your sister Xu to accompany you in this matter, and give some money to bury the girl properly."

Madam Shangguan only cried for her Jiang'er, with a sad face, and she also complained about her miserable life. But Madam Xu was unmoved, she just lowered her head and looked aggrieved.

Chu Yanqiu glanced at Madam Xu and said, "Don't you have any opinion on this matter? Do you know how big a mess you have made? How come Minister Wen and Director Ma are not officials in your Prince Consort Chu's mansion? Don't you know that your father, the Prince Consort, is going to be implicated by you?"

Madam Xu was in a panic, she said aggrievedly: "I was confused and shouldn't have used some tricks for a courtesan, but my husband, I really hate that courtesan. Who is she to be worthy of serving the same husband as me? My husband, you should let go of that courtesan, so as not to ruin her reputation... And Xu'er, let me say something that shouldn't be said, the prostitutes in this mansion shouldn't be kept, which of them is not the source of trouble..."

Chu Yanqiu scolded her, "Shut up! You keep mentioning courtesans and brothels. Is this something a lady from a noble family should talk about?"

The second wife said to her son coldly: "Why are you scolding her? It is you who is immoral. You are a minister, how can you have such a high rank to spoil a courtesan at home?"

Chu Yanqiu didn't get a good face, and Madam Xu was only punished to copy the house rules a hundred times and was not allowed to go out for a month. After the play, in order to comfort Madam Shangguan, the second wife pushed her son out and ordered her to favor Madam Shangguan for the next few nights, and even ordered people to move Madam Shangguan's bedding to Chu Yanqiu's Jinqi Pavilion. This was a great honor, and the Jinqi Pavilion was Chu Yanqiu's bedroom. A mysophobe like him would never let a woman get close to his bedroom, and his maids never stayed there overnight.

So Madam Shangguan climbed onto Chu Yanqiu's bed as ordered. Chu Yanqiu couldn't bring himself to do anything to this junior sister and concubine, because he really didn't have the desire. So after Madam Shangguan seduced her in every possible way, Chu Yanqiu pressed a sleeping point on her body and told her to just fall asleep.

Only then did Chu Yanqiu lie down beside her and fall asleep peacefully.

Chu Yanqiu was sleeping soundly when Madam Shangguan took off his clothes and seduced him. Chu Yanqiu happily followed her intention this time. He also reached out to untie Madam Shangguan's belt, then kissed her skin, all the way to her neck and mound. When he was about to load his gun, he was suddenly stopped by an unknown male voice. The man appeared in front of him and kept calling his name, with a hurt expression. Chu Yanqiu was his ungrateful man for several lifetimes.

Madam Shangguan was so emotional that she was unwilling to let Chu Yanqiu go. She kept begging Chu Yanqiu to make love with her, but Chu Yanqiu stopped and said, "Didn't you see him? He was crying so sadly..."

Madam Shangguan asked him, "Which she? Who is she?"

Chu Yanqiu said: "It's Ziying, he said his name is Ziying, why do I feel so sad, I..."

Chu Yanqiu suddenly woke up.

Chu Yanqiu looked at Madam Shangguan's peach-like body and suddenly got up.

He suddenly covered his chest and took a few breaths.

Madam Shangguan still did not give up. She touched Chu Yanqiu's solid chest and said in a wronged and charming voice: "Brother Yanqiu, what's wrong with you? You will make Xue'er very sad. Xue'er just wants to be Brother Yanqiu's woman. Brother Yanqiu just went to Wushan with Xue'er...Brother Yanqiu, don't think about it, come quickly..."

The more Chu Yanqiu listened to her beautiful voice, the more heartbroken he felt, until he felt as if a big insect had bitten him hard at the tip of his heart. Only then did he wake up in pain, sweating profusely.

He stood up, quickly put on his clothes, and ran away in a hurry.
