Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 297 The Concubine of the Age 4

The second wife covered the back of her hand with her sleeve, picked up the tea and took a sip, looking at the main courtyard with contempt: "She really has one trick to rely on, and she wanted to use this trick to deal with Aunt Gu. Now she has suffered retribution! But I also want to thank Aunt Gu, otherwise I would not be able to get the housekeeper's power. Chunqing, go prepare a gift for Aunt Gu, and by the way, see if Aunt Gu needs anything. If she does, go directly to the warehouse to get it."

Chun Qing nodded and took some supplements and fabrics to send to Gu Nuanyi.

"Auntie Gu, I am Chunqing from the Second Madam's courtyard. The Second Madam specifically asked me to bring you some supplements and fabrics to calm you down. If you need anything in the future, just go to the Second Madam."

Don't hit a smiling person. Chunqing is respectful to Gu Nuanyi.

Gu Nuanyi naturally smiled back: "Second Madam, you're too polite!"

Chunjuan took a quick look at Gu Nuanyi's yard and knew how to respond.

the other side

After Master Jia took Gu Nuanyi away, the eldest wife smashed everything in the house.

The floor of the main room was covered with broken porcelain pieces, and the doctor couldn't find his feet.

Chunhong knelt among the broken porcelain pieces. The broken pieces splashed on her face. She didn't dare to raise her arms to block them, let alone dodge.

Chunhong kept recalling what happened when she was serving tea. She held the tray steadily, so how could it possibly spill on the first wife? If she had to spill, it would have spilled on Aunt Gu...

"Madam, the doctor is here."

When she heard the doctor coming, the first wife took back her hands and said, "Please come in."

When the first wife saw the doctor, she asked anxiously: "Doctor, please look at my face."

The doctor looked at the first wife's face, which was red with black and white streaks.

She said speechlessly: "Please clean your makeup first. I can't see the wound on your face because of the makeup."

The eldest wife called out, and someone immediately brought in a basin of water.

The first wife saw her face in the basin and overturned it with her hand.

He covered his face and screamed: "Ahhh! Ghost!!!"

Liu Lu fetched another basin of water and whispered, "Madam, wash your face thoroughly before you see the doctor!"

The eldest wife closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at the face in the basin: "You come and wipe it for me."

Liu Lu had no choice but to wet the handkerchief. As soon as it touched the eldest wife's face, she cried out in pain: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, can't you be a little gentler?"

"Madam, it's already very light..."

By the time the powder on her face was wiped off, the eldest wife was in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Liu Lu's clothes were also soaked with sweat: "Madam, wipe it off!"

After washing off the powder on my face, the red and swollen areas are more visible

There were blisters on several places...

After a careful examination, the doctor said: "I will prescribe some anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment for you. The redness and swelling will go away in half a month."

"Will there be scars after healing?" The eldest wife looked at the doctor expectantly.

The doctor was silent for a moment. How could this person, who is over 40 years old, still be so obsessed with beauty like a young girl?

At this age, no matter how well I dress up, I won't look any better...

But thinking of Jaquin taking a concubine, one of whom was only 13 years old,

I also understand why this person in front of me pays so much attention to appearance.

"Well... it's impossible to leave no scars at all, but I can cover them up a little by applying more powder in the future."

The eldest wife lowered her face in disappointment. If her face was ruined, Jia Kun, who only thought with his lower body, would definitely not enter her yard again.

What do you mean by young couples growing old together? They are just tired of each other when they reach middle age.

When she really gets old, I wonder where Jia Kun has forgotten her.

The eldest wife clenched her fists. No, she must find a way to get rid of this vixen!!!

Liu Lu gently rubbed the ointment on the eldest wife's face. After applying the cool ointment, the burning sensation was immediately relieved.

That's it...

The wife's face was already red and swollen, and after applying the shiny ointment...

It looks like a braised pig's head fresh out of the oven...

Liu Lu swallowed her saliva and quickly looked away to avoid being noticed by the eldest wife.

As soon as I looked away, I saw Chunhong still kneeling on the broken porcelain pieces. My heart was clenched.

Seeing the first wife's frown relax, Liu Lu took the opportunity to say, "First wife, Chunhong knows she was wrong. You are kind-hearted, so let her get up. If she kneels down again, her knees will be broken. The housekeeper's power in the house has already been taken away by the second wife. If rumors spread that you are torturing Chunhong, it will not be good for you..."

The eldest wife glanced at Chunhong and said, "Go down and have a rest."

Chunhong looked at Liulu gratefully, endured the pain and stood up, limping out.

The eldest wife's face hasn't recovered yet, so she naturally won't go out to hang out

She even stopped playing mahjong, her favorite game, because she didn't want others to see her injured face.

After the second wife took over the housekeeping power, the living allowances of the other concubines increased significantly.

Now the other concubines had no objections. After all, their monthly allowance had increased, and they had more rouge, powder, and fabrics than before.

What else is there to make a fuss about?

Gu Nuanyi also enjoyed a few days of having everything provided for her.

It's just a bit annoying to deal with that fat and big-eared Mr. Jia every day.

Every time, he would give Master Jia a mental hint, and then he would slip into the jade pendant space to play with the little chicken for a while.

The little chick has given up correcting Gu Nuanyi's way of addressing it.

Because it is totally useless!!!

Every time I tell her, I still call it little chicken next time I see it

After calling it so many times, the chick actually got used to it and inexplicably felt that this name was not bad...

Before the first wife's facial wound healed, she heard rumors of the Marriage Law.

The people from the street office read the contents of the Marriage Law to everyone in the small square every day and answer everyone's questions.

Liu Lu went to the small square to listen for two days, and then came back to tell the eldest wife about the content.

The first wife's eyes lit up more and more: "Freedom of marriage, monogamy, equality between men and women... This Marriage Law is tailor-made for me. Now I can finally drive away all those concubines!!!"

The first wife immediately asked someone to invite Mr. Jia over and explain the contents of the Marriage Law to him.

Master Jia sneered disdainfully: "What kind of marriage law is it that has come to govern my backyard? I just want to take a concubine, what can they do to me?"

No matter how the eldest wife persuaded him, Mr. Jia just wouldn't listen.

The street office learned about the situation of the Jia family and sent people to force Jia Kun to send all the concubines back home.

Jia Kun took a sip of tea and asked, "What will happen to those women after they are sent back home? Which family would dare to marry the women I have slept with? Will their families accept them back? You are going to force them to death..."

The young man sent by the Street Office was no match for Jia Kun and ran back to the Street Office with a red face.
