Hou Yuanming sighed and continued: "The imperial examination is about to start, don't worry about the rest, just concentrate on it!" ”

Ah Xu's mother knelt down in front of Hou Yuanming and said, "Then please give me a promise, Ah Xu will not end up like Yu'er, right?" ”

"Yu'er, wasn't she sent to her mother's side?" Hou Mingsi asked in surprise.

Hou Yuanming sighed heavily after knowing what was going on.

Hou Xiaru and He Xiatong came to the cellar just to see Su Muning and Ah Xu, who were beaten and bruised.

Hou Xiaru threw the palm-sized, small square wooden box on the ground in front of Su Muning and Ah Xu.

She said: "This is a prescription prescribed by a famous doctor, and there is no better medicine than this." ”

"Why don't you be grateful, and then you're stunned? It's time for me to tear you up and give you back the medicine! He Xiatong said when he saw Ah Xu flurry.

Ah Xu picked up the medicine on the ground.

Hou Xiaru said with a smug smile: "It's very uncomfortable to be beaten by a straw mat for the first time, I'll just say, if you had listened to me, you wouldn't have married Ah Fei!" ”

Su Muling raised her head, her eyes were full of anger and said, "Where will we sell it?" ”

Hou Xiaru smiled, squatted down and said, "What? Worried? ”

"It's going to leave my protection, it looks like you're very reluctant, look forward to it, I'll pick a good place for you to appreciate you!"

"Remember to apply the medicine well, and you can buy it at a good price as soon as possible." He Xiatong also said deliberately.

Ah Xu felt secretly uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a trembling mouth: "Thank you for your concern!" ”

He Xiatong squatted down and touched Ah Xu's hair as if he was distressed, and continued: "Ah Xu, Ah Zuo slept in the same room with his husband today, you taught me, I will use it well." As he spoke, he put away his smile and turned to leave.

Su Muning's eyes were gloomy, and Ah Xu on the side had tears in his eyes.

Hou Xiaru walked to the door and saw Ah Hai who was about to walk in, Hou Xiaru said: "Su Muning has a conflict with the master, you don't feel good, if you want to help her like my father-in-law, even if it is you, I will not let it go!" ”

Hou Xiaru saw that Ah Hai didn't react, and laughed loudly: "What? Intimidated? What's the matter, look, what's in it for you to be entangled with Su Muning? I'll be angry if you do it without my permission! ”

She continued: "Do you know how bad it feels to see my dog running off to beg for mercy? Everything in this house is mine forever until I die! He smiled and left.

Ah Hai saw him glance at her departing back like this.

Ah Xu poured open the wooden box on the ground, and Su Muning on the side said, "Do you really want to use these medicines!" ”

"Do you want that?" Ah Xu said and unbuttoned his clothes and continued: "It's unfair enough that I've been beaten, I can't leave my injuries alone, although it's pitiful to do so, but I have to heal my injuries first!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his back to Mu Ning and said, "Come and help me paint some!" ”

Su Muning picked up the wooden box, opened it, took out the medicine, and helped her put the ointment on her back.

"Ah, it hurts!" Ah Xu whispered painfully.

Su Muning helped him paint and help her get dressed.

Ah Xu turned to Mu Ning and said, "It's your turn!" ”

"I'm fine!" Su Muning said.

"It's just us two women!" Ah Xu said as he reached out to unbutton Mu Ning's clothes.

Mu Ning looked anxiously and said, "I said it's okay." ”

"Put your pride aside, if you're sick now, you'll be in even more trouble, and no one else will be okay to take it off!"

"But, I ...... I'll do it myself! Su Muning said hesitantly and unbuttoned her clothes.

Ah Xu said while helping Su Mu Ning apply the medicine: "Do you remember? Because I wore your shoes and got so angry, I was almost killed here that night, and I really wanted you to taste it at that time, who would have thought that we would sit here together and sympathize with each other! She said with emotion.

"At that time...... Sorry, really! ”

"Forget it, I already had a revenge when you first came."

Su Muning smiled after hearing this.

Ah Xu saw that she was distressed and felt unfair for herself, and said, "It's not easy! ”

Su Muning turned her head to look at Ah Xu suspiciously, and Ah Xu continued: "Try to forget him, a noble lady like you may look down on me, but it's not like I haven't tried to leave him, it's over, don't meet again, don't look for me again, I've tried countless times." He sneered and asked Su Muning, "Then again, have you succeeded?" Under the same roof! ”

"You still like him, don't you?" Su Muning asked.

Ah Xu paused and said, "I will let go if I meet a better one, but the prince of the world is not willing to let go of me." ”

After hearing this, Su Muning knew that the two of them were truly in love with each other, and smiled at him and said, "I think this is fate, if one party doesn't let go, it will never end!" ”

After hearing this, Ah Xu's tears swirled in her eyes again, and she changed the topic and said, "Hey, when will they bring us food, what is the use of medicine when you are hungry!" ”

Mu Ning was amused by her, and Ah Xu saw it and said, "Oh? Is it because you used to be Miss Sufu, you don't complain when you're hungry, I'm not, I'll go crazy when I'm hungry! ”

Su Muning tied up the clothesrope with a "cut" sound, and muttered: "Do you think I'm not human, I'll be hungry too." ”

Ah Xu smiled when he saw her.

When Hou Mingsi returned to the room, he saw He Xiatong, who had taken off his coat and removed the hair ornament from his bun, making the bed, and he was frightened and said, "Ah, what are you doing in my room?" ”

"I'm going to sleep here tonight!" Lying on the bed as he spoke.

Hou Mingsi walked into her and said, "Madam, what kind of woman is so shameless, hurry back to the room!" ”

She turned to him and said, "Why do you do this to me, you don't hide your preference for Ah Xu in front of your mother, and insist on being punished for her, my face is lost in front of my subordinates!" ”

"Because Ah Xu was in a critical situation at the time, I don't think I would be able to deal with Ah Xu!" Hou Mingsi tried his best to argue.

"So what do I do? Don't you feel guilty to me, because I am about to be kicked out without children! He Xiatong scolded angrily.

"Who would dare you go out, madam?"

"You heard what my mother said today, she wants me to conceive a child within the year, so you have to work hard!" As he spoke, he reached out and took off Hou Mingsi's clothes.

Hou Mingsi hurriedly stopped and asked, "That...... If you're pregnant, if we do something that will get you pregnant. Can you forgive Ah Xu? ”

He Xiatong took care of him, blew out the candle in front of the bed, hugged Hou Mingsi and said, "Come on!" And Hou Mingsi shouted very resistantly: "Don't, don't~"

The next morning, the sky was the same as before, with blue sky, white clouds, and sun, but the Hou Mansion ushered in a dull atmosphere.

Ah Xu and Su Mu Ning sat in the big bathtub, Ah Xu's mother wiped Ah Xu's body, and Su Mu Ning stood next to Qing'er to help wipe it.

Both of them didn't look at each other, and Ah Xu's mother had tears in her eyes.

After washing and putting on clothes, Mother Shan and Qing'er combed their hair in a bun.

Ah Jin sat next to him and felt that they were so good, and pouted: "What, do you really think this is a punishment, let them wash and dress well, it is completely the treatment of the master!" ”

"Then we are going to sell us if we are dressing well!" Ah Xu said, and Qing'er on the side glared at her.

"Do you want to be sent to the market? I'd like to swap with you! ”

"Mother, do you know where we're going to be sent? Maybe you've heard something? Su Mu asked with some worry as she thought about being sent.

Axu's mother sighed and shook her head.

"What is the prince doing?" Ah Xu said anxiously.

Ah Jin leaned over and said, "Don't think about it, he slept with his wife yesterday!" ”

"What?" Ah Xu was surprised.

Yin Zi washed his face with Hou Mingsi at the water level, and also wanted to intercede for Ah Xu, but when he came to the door, he saw Hou Mingsi's shoes placed next to the stone steps, pink shoes, and thought to himself, "He is still in the mood to have sex with his wife!" ”

He looked around to see that there was no one, poured the basin of water in his hand on the shoes of the two of them, and walked away in resentment.

They got up, He Xiatong was dressing up at the front desk, Hou Mingsi also got up and put on his clothes and said to He Xiatong: "I must go and tell my mother that it's my fault, so let Ah Xu go." ”

He Xiatong said in a talkative voice: "Why? ”

"Didn't we say yes yesterday?" Hou Mingsi said anxiously when he saw her change of hexagram.

"I remember that I had to cooperate with my husband to conceive a child, and I didn't say anything else!" He Xiatong said.

Hou Mingsi sat on the ground, "Wait, I'll bring breakfast!" He Xiatong said.

Saying that, he left happily, stretched his waist outside the door, and wanted to put on his shoes, but found that his shoes and socks were wet.

"Ah, cold, what is this, no, why is there water?"

As he spoke, he picked up the water from his shoes and poured it on the ground.

Outside the door of the next house, parting in the future, Ah Xu and her mother held hands and refused to send it, and Qing'er finally stabilized beside Su Muning, and now she is even more reluctant to leave.

"Alright, let's go!" Ah Hai urged.

"They're not going to be sold today, are they?"

Ah Hai didn't answer, Ah Xu's mother stopped in front of him and pleaded, "Don't do anything else, okay?" ”

"Wait here!" As he spoke, he glanced at them and walked to the front.

At this time, Pu Hanmo also had the door of the Mansion, and he said to Yin Zi beside him: "Follow them." ”

"Yes, Lord of the County!" followed.

I don't know how many meters they walked, and when they came to a house, the servants of Nafu called them to the backyard to wait, and the servants of Nafu came to report with a man in a white cloth coat with a scar on his face.

The man nodded, and came to the backyard to see Su Muning and Ah Xu, Ah Xu glanced at the man's appearance, and instantly took Su Muning's hand in fear.

"Let's go inside!" The man said.

"Let's go!" Ah Hai said and wanted to move forward.

The man hurriedly stopped: "Wait, you wait here!" ”

Ah Hai looked at them worriedly after hearing this.

They walked in slowly, and inside sat a man in black cotton silk with a scruffy beard, who was drinking.

"We're from the Marquis!" Su Muning said.

He took a glass of wine from a glass as big as Wan'er, and said to them, "Don't you bow when you see your master?" ”

Ah Xu and Su Muling heard what he said, and hurriedly saluted.

The man nodded and said, "Son, you must conceive a son, girls don't count, if you give birth to a daughter, you will be sold immediately, do your best to conceive a boy!" ”

"What? What are you going to ask us to do? Ah Xu was surprised when he heard this.

Su Muning also said: "It's ridiculous, what would you rather let us do?" Don't you need a handmaiden? ”

"Don't you understand? We've been sold as fertility tools! Ah Xu whispered.

"You must have misunderstood, we are maids!" Su Muning hurriedly said.

"Is there anyone out there?" The man growled.

The man with the scar on his face hurriedly opened the door and entered, bent down and said, "It's my lord!" ”

The man who was over the age of ten picked up the dagger beside him and had not yet drawn his scabbard, and said with anger in his eyes: "These two girls said, I don't know what they are going to do here? ”

The scar man hurriedly said, "That's not the case, the little one must have told them, the little one is sure!" ”
