After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 150 Reactions from all parties
"You're really making me so angry!" Madam Zhu looked at Zhu Shi with exasperation. "If this doctor can't cure you, can't you find another one? If the doctor in Zhaohua County isn't good enough, we can invite a doctor from the prefecture. It's not like we can't afford it."

How long can you keep guarding against men? Ultimately, you need a son by your side to have confidence in your words and actions!

Suddenly thinking of the pregnant Cuilan, Zhu's face twisted into a grimace. "So what if she has a son? A lowly person is destined for a lowly life. Whether she lives or dies is none of my business!"

Madam Zhu shook her head in disappointment and sighed. She didn't intend to argue with her stubborn daughter any longer. She simply said, "You've been married for two years and you really don't have a son or daughter. The Bai family must have had their opinions for a long time. Listen to your mother. If your son-in-law comes to take you away, take the opportunity to back down and find him a concubine to ease the tension between you two."

Zhu was not convinced and was about to argue back.

Madam Zhu didn't give her a chance to speak, but looked at her sternly, "You have several advantages in taking a concubine. First, you can choose the concubine yourself. You have the indenture in your hands, and you can do whatever you want with her in the future. Your mother-in-law and husband can't interfere."

Secondly, you'll gain a reputation for being virtuous and kind. Thirdly, if you become pregnant and give birth in the future, even children born out of wedlock will not surpass those born to you and will have to obey your every command.

Even if you really can't have children, you can still terminate the pregnancy and keep the child, raising the child as if it were your own, right?

Zhu cried out in anger, "Mother, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

Rulan came in from outside and respectfully reported, "The eldest young mistress has arrived."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhu Yixuan's first wife, Cui, entered gracefully with her entourage. Upon seeing the disheveled Zhu, she immediately made sarcastic remarks, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I, as your sister-in-law, look down on you, but we are, after all, ladies from respectable families. We should have all learned the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. As the saying goes, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants."

You've been married into the Bai family for so long, yet you haven't even laid an egg. The Bai family hasn't said anything, but do you really think they're not worried?

I've heard about Cuilan's situation. That girl is indeed too ambitious to be kept around. But you should also reflect on yourself. If you don't take a few concubines for your husband soon, who knows what he might do even more outrageous things in the future? Will you be able to get away with it then?

"Shut up!" Madam Zhu glared at Madam Cui, wishing she could tear her apart alive.

Cui pouted and said to Madam Zhu with a wronged expression, "Mother, I was just being blunt because I was thinking of my sister-in-law. My words may be rough, but they make sense. Don't you agree? You should also advise her. She can't continue to be so willful!"

The daughter-in-law just sent someone to inquire, and it seems that Madam Bai has already chosen a concubine for her son. One of them is a distant relative of the Bai family, Madam Bai's distant niece. If this cousin really enters the household, the sister-in-law's life will be very difficult.

"Stop spreading alarmist rumors! If Bai Feng really dares to take a concubine before me, I'll turn the Bai family upside down, and nobody will have a good life!" Madam Zhu declared, having nothing left to lose.

Madam Cui was also annoyed, "You can be angry all you want, why are you taking it out on me? You can't keep an eye on your man and you're making it someone else's fault, how ridiculous! Someone like you deserves to be slept with by a maid!"

"Shut your stinking mouth!" Zhu rushed up and slapped Cui.

Cui refused to stand for it and fought back. The two women wrestled in front of Madam Zhu.

Zhu Yixuan arrived just in time to witness this scene, the veins on his forehead throbbing as if they might burst at any moment.

"Stop it, all of you!" he roared.

Cui and Zhu indeed let go of each other's hands, but neither was willing to yield, looking at the other as if they were enemies.

Zhu Yixuan glared at Zhu Shi with displeasure, "This is the Zhu family, not the Bai family. How can a married woman like you come home and have her mother beat her sister-in-law? Is that appropriate?"

He then glared sternly at the disheveled and madwoman-like Cui Shi, nearly fainting with anger. "Go back and clean yourself up before you come back to talk!" "Hmph!" Cui Shi stormed off with a group of people.

Zhu burst into tears, crying, "Brother! You must stand up for me!"

Zhu Yixuan felt extremely overwhelmed. Suddenly remembering the gentle and lovely Ke Yunyun from the villa, he felt even more disgusted with Madam Zhu and Madam Cui.

However, Zhu was still his sister from the same mother, so even though he was unhappy, he patiently comforted her for a few moments before slowly saying, "In a little while, we'll select two good-looking maids from our household to take back and have their faces painted."

Make sure they get pregnant as soon as possible. With me here, the Bai family won't dare to do anything to you. Bai Feng and your mother-in-law will have to find ways to appease you. Do you think you can still live a willful and arrogant life?

When Zhu met Zhu Yixuan's unquestionable gaze, she immediately nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice, "Understood, understood!"

The farce ended with Zhu Yixuan's swift and decisive actions, and Bai Feng, as a result, gained two beautiful concubines that he was satisfied with.

The frustration he felt from the brown sugar business was largely dispelled, and he didn't even have time to pursue it further.

Although Zhu was reluctant, after being brainwashed by Madam Zhu, she understood that the current situation was in her best interest.

Only Madam Bai was unhappy.

She had already chosen two suitable girls for her son: one was her distant cousin, and the other was a beautiful woman found by Granny Li.

Now neither of them is of any use, and she still has to give them money to appease them. What kind of situation is this!

Granny Li was also very frustrated, but even her master couldn't do anything about it, so what could she do?
In the villa in Yong'an Lane.

The Wan family has been closely monitoring the situation ever since the rumors about the Bai family started circulating.

Seeing that the Bai family's business was only slightly affected and nothing else was wrong, they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Su Chunsen refused to believe that his daughter-in-law had cheated on his son, and for the past few days he had been unwilling to communicate. Even when he looked at Su Chuan, his eyes were filled with deep guilt.

Su Chuan was busy monitoring news outside and didn't have time to comfort Su Chunsen.

Only after finding out the details about the Bai family did he decide to have a proper talk with Su Chunsen.

"Father, I heard this while I was out shopping. Zhu beat Cuilan half to death, then had a doctor save her. She was then sold to a brothel."

Su Chunsen looked at Su Chuan and saw that he was speaking indifferently, as if he were talking about an unimportant stranger. His heart clenched. He opened his mouth, hesitated several times, and finally sighed, "Over the years, I have been by the master's side and have always felt that the master is wise and benevolent, and is a good master."

I never imagined that the eldest young master would be such a scoundrel, all show and no substance. The master only has one legitimate son, and the eldest young mistress has been childless for many years. I don't believe that the master was unaware of Cuilan's affair.

So, their whole family knows everything. Those of us who serve them are nothing to them; they can use us when they want and discard us when they want!
