From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 326 Qiuyue's Grudge

Soon, the whole Hengzhou city was filled with the astonishing news that the Crown Prince's Consort was pregnant.

Because, the Hengwang Mansion and the Yue Mansion, the two most powerful families in Hengzhou, had been setting off firecrackers for the entire morning starting from the second day after the Hengwang returned to Hengzhou on March 9th.

In addition, copper coins and red eggs were given to every child who came to the house.

Later, it was said that in order to share in the good fortune, Prince Heng’s Mansion distributed gifts from morning to evening.

A total of tens of thousands of red eggs and over a hundred thousand copper coins were distributed.

The Yue family also distributed almost the same amount, from morning to evening.

Because the two houses are not far apart, only two or three miles.

So, on the ninth day of March, the road from Prince Heng's Mansion to Yue's house was filled with children of all ages.

Each of them held a copper coin in their hand and a red egg in their pocket.

Each one is as happy as a little bird.

Fortunately, there are not as many bad people in this world as in later generations, and Hengzhou City has cracked down very severely on the trafficking of women and children.

Anyone who violates the law will be punished with thirty lashes without any hesitation.

Then, depending on the severity of the crime, decide whether to kill or bury the person.

Moreover, if civilians catch evil people who traffic children and beat them to death or injure them, they are not guilty.

There's nothing we can do about it, this world is just so rough.

This was also what Sun Shan and Zhang Ping'an intended to do, because if they did not crack down so severely, with Hengzhou's relaxed and prosperous urban conditions, who knows how many evil things would have happened.

Because the Heng Palace was in a mess, Sun Shan returned to his own home.

As soon as he entered the door, a figure rushed out from behind the door and hugged his arm fondly: "Sir, I heard that the Crown Prince's wife is pregnant, right?"

"Yes, Doctor Huang has already tested it twice." Sun Shan touched Mo Changmei's head and said, "Little girl, why aren't you asleep yet? It's almost three o'clock in the morning."

"whee-----"

Mo Changmei tilted her head and stuck out her pink tongue.

She and Ding Susu have been serving Sun Shan for three or four months now. She already knows Sun Shan's character and knows that he is a very loving and considerate man.

Whether it is to myself or my family, I smile all day long.

Even towards the servants in the house, he was kind and friendly.

He is totally different from those uncouth men of the Mohist school who, after making some money, lift their noses to the sky.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Shan came home, she would cling to him like a little animal, pushing Sun Yuxiang, who had always been clinging to Sun Shan, aside.

After the Lantern Festival, the mother and daughter, along with their younger brother Changfeng, also moved to the Sun family.

In addition, with Qiuyue and Qiuju who moved in a few years ago, Sun Shan now has four women in his home.

"Mother said that you might come back tonight, so she asked me to guard the door."

"You are really a good daughter to your mother."

Sun Shan thought of the craziness of Ding Susu and Mo Changmei in bed, and couldn't help but tease: "Why, are you waiting for me to come back and feed you? I see you two are having fun grinding on your own-----"

Mo Changmei's pretty face turned red and her heart fluttered at these words, but she muttered, "It's because you, bad guy, like to watch that I acted like that. If you laugh at me again, I won't do it with my mother anymore in the future."

"hey-hey-----"

Sun Shan chuckled and slapped Mo Changmei on her plumper buttocks, making a crisp sound in the dark night.

Then, amidst Mo Changmei's deliberately pinched voice, he laughed and carried Mo Changmei into the door of the room which Ding Susu had already opened after hearing the sound.

This made Qiuyue, who had just finished her intelligence work and heard the noise outside the window, look out.

Then, he turned to Qiu Ju, who had also moved out of the palace and became his assistant, and said, "Look, they were snatched away by the Mo family bitches again!"

Qiu Ju put away the information and documents on the table and pouted helplessly: "What can we do? They are mother and daughter, and their status is different. The young master likes that kind of style. Didn't you see that the young master enjoys it every time?"

As he spoke, he looked at Qiuyue's increasingly resolute and cold face, and persuaded her: "Sister Yue, I think we are doing well now. It is much better than the days in the palace. The young master is very good, and the mother-in-law is also very good to us."

Hearing Qiuju say this, Qiuyue, who had been working for more than half a year and was in charge of the entire Datong Chamber of Commerce, felt a little softened.

However, when he thought of his life in the Yue family since he was a child, and the grievances with Miss Yue Qingwei, he sighed: "You are quite content. Miss Yue is pregnant. Should we go and see her?"

Qiuju knew that ever since Qiuyue and the young master had been in love, the young lady had become jealous and resentful of Qiuyue because of the young master's preference for her, and had been deliberately torturing her.

If the young master had not rescued Qiuyue from the palace, who knows what would have happened now.

But Qiuyue and I were both slaves of the Yue family, and our life and death were decided by them.

I had no choice but to swallow my anger.

"Let's go and have a look. After all, we were also raised by the Yue family, which makes us much better off than Qiu Shuang and the others."

Speaking of the other maids who were betrothed to others before them, Qiuyue's face became even uglier.

Because they were the most beautiful and had the best martial arts skills, they remained virgins and stayed in the palace, intending to become the prince's maids in the future.

As for the other six maids who followed him into the palace, they had already been separated into twos and threes, and had either lost their virginity to the steward or been promised to some family to bear children.

A few days ago, when several maids who grew up together got together, most of them had two or three children.

There is not much difference between them and ordinary women.

In particular, Qiu Shuang, who was once very outstanding, was promised as a concubine to the third steward who was in his fifties and could be a grandfather. After giving birth to three children in succession, she became as old as an eggplant hit by frost.

The sisters who grew up together cried bitterly.

"Go ahead and do me a favor. Tell them that I'm very busy these days. When I'm free that day, I'll go see her with you."

As he spoke, Qiuyue took out a 100-tael silver note from his bosom.

Then, he pushed open the window with a bit of suffocation, jumped out, and said to Qiu Ju without looking back: "You go to sleep first, I'll go out for a walk and relax."

"well-----"

Qiuyue sighed, looked at Qiuyue who had disappeared without a trace, sat down helplessly, and muttered weakly: "I don't think this knot can be untied."

After thinking for a while, Qiu Ju tilted her head and guessed: "I don't know, is this child the son's or the prince's?"

Qiuju's personality was not as strong as Qiuyue's, and she was not as favored by Sun Shan as Qiuyue, so Yue Qingwei did not torture her much.

Therefore, she knew more about Yue Qingwei's affairs and had a better relationship with her.

Naturally, I know a little about the order of priority between Yue Qingwei, the Young Master and the Crown Prince.
