The Demon Concubine of God

Ever since Shen Wen had a heart-to-heart talk with the madam Cuihong that night, the business of Yixianglou has been indifferent, and the company has been busy with improving the decoration of the house and training the prostitutes.

Of course, the main idea was provided by the so-called Miss Shen. As long as the money was in place, the renovation progress was naturally very fast. On the third night, Yixianglou was completely different in the eyes of the guests. This was very different from what Shen Wen expected, but the central idea was expressed. Modern people who are used to seeing entertainment venues in various countries around the world want to broaden the imagination and knowledge of these ancient people, and achieve the effect in a short time. Shen Wen saved as much as he could, and the style could be barely passed if it was 30% similar.

It couldn't be her fault that she was careless. The truth was that she wasn't sure how much time Chu Yanqiu, who came from a famous family, could give her. If she didn't get what she wanted to do done by then, the baby would die in her womb, and she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Today, the opening time of Yixianglou was postponed to a very late hour. This move of tantalizing people attracted the regular customers who liked novelty to stop and watch, while the girls, husbands, maids and servants were so busy that they were stomping on their heels. The hall on the left side of Yixianglou is now a simple and wide T-stage. Small oil lamps are placed along the edge of the stage. The round tables for entertaining guests have also been replaced with comfortable soft couches. There is a small shelf for wine glasses next to each soft couch, and three layers of cakes, wine and food are separated on the top, middle and bottom.

Qingying has changed into her rabbit work clothes, revealing her smooth thighs and breasts that are squeezed into two small hills, so white and tender that anyone would want to touch them. She no longer wears heavy rouge makeup. Her good sister has designed a unique whitening makeup for her, which makes her look not only young but also a little younger. Because she has almond-shaped eyes, which can be delicate and sweet, her eyelashes are versatile and have various shapes. After adding some "special effects" false eyelashes, her whole face has changed so much that she can't recognize herself. She combed the strand of hair that was left to her jawline. In order to look more pure, she threw away the charming and dissolute temperament she had cultivated over the years, and started to act like a pure young woman again. She turned around elegantly and said to the other friends, "Are you all ready? Mom just said that our carnival in Yixianglou tonight has officially begun!"

In the study room of the second son of the second branch of the founding Duke Ji's mansion, Chu Yanqiu, who had just stepped into the room, saw that the room was already full of women. There was also a weak and horrible woman lying on the ground. The woman was slow to react. After Chu Yanqiu walked under him, she slowly raised her head to look. Her face was even more horrible. The once fair and tender face was swollen like a pig's head. Her eyes were not as moist and bright as before. Red bloodshot covered her eyes. It was terrifying. Blood kept overflowing from the corners of her mouth. What was even more strange was that she could no longer speak. Her expression was only sad.

This woman is the concubine Hua Jieyu.

On his way back, Chu Yanqiu already knew roughly what had happened.

The reason has to start from the second day when Hua Jieyu was favored. After coming out of the Xianhe Tower, Hua Jieyu and her lover went to the mandarin ducks to get rid of the pain of one-sided love for many years. She was the only one in the second room and felt that she had a place. She walked around with the ladies in a swagger, and her words were humble but contemptuous. Although there was nothing wrong with it, in the minds of those ladies who were high above, it was a provocation and instigation. Especially Mrs. Xu who was punished. She had flaunted the difference in status as if it were the law for the sake of a courtesan Shen Wen, and her attitude of not bowing her head even when she was punished made people hate her when Hua Jieyu appeared.

And there is Mrs. Helian. Although she is a big-breasted and brainless girl, she is arrogant and domineering. When it comes to the critical moment, she doesn't care about anything.

It was the eve of dinner, and Hua Jieyu had the habit of drinking beauty-enhancing soup, and Madam Xu happened to have ordered a bowl of deadly medicinal soup, which was cooked in the big kitchen.

The food from the kitchen to the rooms of the wives and concubines of each house had to pass through a common corridor. Originally, they were delivering food to their own rooms, but by chance, Madam Helian and Concubine Hua met on the corridor and staged a drama of one killing the other. Madam Helian whipped Concubine Hua with a horse whip with darts, leaving bloody wounds all over her body. The busy servant who was delivering food was frightened and put down his soup bowl to stop the fight. Afterwards, each family dispersed.

Mrs. Xu found out that something went wrong and went to the kitchen, only to find out that the soup bowl was wrong, but it was too late.

The fatal thing was the medicine prepared by Madam Xu. It was a really fatal medicine. It happened that Madam Xu's little niece from her mother's side came to visit the Ji Mansion. Her old illness recurred and she called the palace doctor for treatment. The doctor said that the medicine would only be effective if it was boiled into a bowl of medicine using the mermaid pearls bestowed by the palace. Madam Xu knelt at the feet of the Second Mistress and begged for the mermaid pearls. She also asked the kitchen to boil it into a medicine, but such a mistake happened.

The head kitchen should have taken most of the responsibility for this matter, but the Second Mistress punished Aunt Hua by slapping her in the face, just because she broke the rules of the mansion and went to the head kitchen, which was only used by the master, to ask for food and drink at an inappropriate time. This was Yue Jie's right, and she delayed the master's illness just to satisfy her momentary appetite. She really deserved a beating.

The matter was over after the punishment. At night, according to the rules of the Second House, the favored maid was supposed to warm the bed for the master. At that time, the Second Master did not notify his family and would not come back to sleep, so according to the routine, the now favored concubine Hua should be asked to warm the bed.

After receiving the notice, Madam Hua cleaned up her swollen face and went to the Xianhe Tower to warm the bed. Just as she left, the second young master's servant came to inform her again, "Before he left, the second young master said that he wanted Madam Hua to wait in the inner study room in the evening."

Aunt Hua happily went to the inner study and got into the man's bed. She found a sword lying under the quilt. She was shocked and called the servant to ask what was going on. The servant said, "This sword is the treasure of the second master. You know that the second master is a martial arts fanatic. He loves swords as his life. When he sleeps, he likes to warm the sword with his body. It is said that the sword will have a soul and will only listen to the master's call. Aunt Hua, you should help the master hug the sword to sleep. He will be happy when he comes back."

When Aunt Hua heard this, she happily fell asleep holding the sword.

The next day, somehow the news reached Mrs. Shangguan's ears. She ran to the inner study early in the morning to see. When she saw the sword that Aunt Hua was holding, she was furious and yelled at Aunt Hua, saying that the sword was a sacred object left by the ancestors, but now it had been defiled by a very sinister and vicious woman. How could she face her ancestors?

She was so overwhelmed that she took off the towel from her waist and hung it on the beam, ready to hang herself. This was a big deal, and no matter who came to plead and stop her, it was useless. Qiu Ping, the maid at the center, saw this and blamed it all on Aunt Hua. She impulsively stabbed Aunt Hua in the stomach with a pair of scissors, causing a huge uproar.

Fortunately, my grandmother's confidant, Aunt Yinhua, arrived at the right time and saved Aunt Hua. Because the scissors were stuck under Aunt Hua's ribs and did not hurt her internal organs, people let Aunt Hua go and went to persuade Madam Shangguan who had hanged herself.

Mrs. Shangguan cried miserably, calling out for her father and mother non-stop. Mrs. Shangguan was an orphan left behind by the extermination of her family, and her crying made all the servants in the house shed tears.

Back to the present, Chu Yanqiu bypassed Aunt Hua and greeted his mother first, then he touched Madam Shangguan's back and comforted her, "Junior sister, you have been wronged. It was my senior brother who did not take good care of you. If my uncle is still alive, he must blame me, your senior brother."

Madam Shangguan stopped sobbing and said, "No... Don't blame me, Senior Brother. It must be that bitch, Aunt Hua, who acted on her own initiative. She saw that the treasure of my Shangguan family had spiritual energy, so she acted on her own initiative and desecrated the sword."

At this moment, Aunt Hua only hated herself for not being able to speak, otherwise she would definitely go back and tell her mother to give her heirloom, a piece of iron lump that made her cover it up for a whole night, but ended up like this.

She concealed the cruelty in her eyes and swore in her heart that if she was allowed to survive this disaster, she would repay him tenfold or a hundredfold.

The Second Mistress stroked her forehead and said tiredly, "My daughter-in-law, I know that if I don't vent my anger today, you will definitely not agree. As long as you stop making trouble, today's matter will be up to you. You have the final say on whether this Concubine Hua stays or leaves. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Aunt Hua felt disappointed. It was over! She had worked so hard to climb to this position, but with just one word from the head of the household, she was thrown back into the mud.

She crawled towards the man she loved most, whimpering unwillingly. Even though something was twisting in her stomach and she was in so much pain that she had no strength left, she still crawled towards the man who said he would spoil her without giving up.

Until she heard the man say in a gentle and pleasant voice: "Then listen to mother! Aunt Hua is now half disabled, and it is useless for her to stay in the mansion. Junior sister, you can do it."

Madam Shangguan thought for a moment, then suddenly knelt down and said, "Xue'er is an unfilial daughter, who has failed her father and ancestors. Xue'er wants to go to the nunnery where her parents are enshrined to practice and purify the desecrated sword. As for Aunt Hua, let her go with Xue'er to the nunnery and ask her to accompany Xue'er to atone for her sins."
