Chapter 227: The Houmen Madam Nursery School has started (13)
Three days later.
A premeditated banquet was held in the backyard garden of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.
During the banquet, Marquis Cheng'en was as attentive to Bu Shi'an as ever.
Bu Shi'an, who had ignored him before and would beat him back if he was annoyed enough, was particularly easy to talk to today.
Marquis Cheng'en believed that there were many people coming today, and most of them were prominent people in the capital.
That's why his wife gave him some face and didn't want to be gossiped about.
This speculation reached its peak after he saw the officials and their wives whose children were recuperating in the mansion coming one after another.
His wife still dislikes him, but she is more easy to talk to now because she is afraid that the parents of these children will be influenced in their judgment by their bad relationship.
She tolerated him for the sake of connections.
As a man with little ability but great ambition, Marquis Cheng'en will not restrain himself just because he sees through the situation. He will only become more aggressive.
Since his good wife is now cautious, she has to endure the nausea and show him the deep love between husband and wife.
Of course he would take the opportunity to create an opportunity to get close to the other party.
For example, get her drunk and make her lose consciousness after the party.
As the apparent master of this mansion, it was impossible for those servants to stop him from sending the actual master back to his room after he fainted.
As long as he can successfully enter the other person's bedroom, the rest of the matter is up to him.
Because the couple who hosted the banquet each had their own thoughts, the atmosphere of the banquet was extremely harmonious.
Marquis Cheng'en repeatedly tried to find topics to talk about, asking those attending the banquet to toast him and Bu Shi'an as the organizers.
In order to show his deep affection, he drank all the drinks in one gulp, but allowed Shi'an to take two symbolic sips.
Marquis Cheng'en prided himself on his alcohol tolerance and didn't think this little bit of wine could get him drunk.
His wife, who was forced to raise her glass and take a sip several times, could not hold her alcohol as well as he did, and she was afraid that she would get drunk soon.
He had a plan in mind, and was going to take advantage of his drinking capacity to get Shi'an drunk.
Then he could use the excuse of being drunk to shield himself from what was about to happen.
Being drunk and infatuated, anything that happened between a husband and wife is very reasonable.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for not being able to drink much and why you have to hold a banquet.
After all, I have already blocked most of the alcohol for you in front of others. No matter how angry you are, there is no reason for you to spill it on me.
Marquis Cheng'en had a good plan, but as he drank glass after glass of wine, his vision began to blur.
Under such circumstances, he didn't notice at all that everyone at the banquet was looking at him with increasingly meaningful eyes.
Bu Shi'an, who was hiding behind his sleeves and had not taken in a single drop of wine except for wetting his lips, just watched the Marquis Cheng'en getting more and more drunk.
In order to ensure that today's show can go on smoothly, Bu Shi'an specifically instructed his servants to replace the drinks at the banquet with strong liquor that tastes sweet but has a strong aftertaste.
Everyone who came to the banquet knew about this through the invitation letter, except Marquis Cheng'en.
When everyone was controlling their drinking for fear of getting drunk and embarrassing themselves, only Marquis Cheng'en was reckless enough to take the initiative to find conversation and ask for toasts.
Men always like to use being drunk as an excuse, and Bu Shian knew what he was going to do without having to think about it.
If he wants to use alcohol to succeed so much, then she will just give him a push and let him become a corpse due to alcohol.
It doesn’t matter whether you die from drinking or not. As long as you are unconscious due to the stimulation of alcohol, someone will come to take your life.
She glanced at the back of Marquis Cheng'en from the corner of her eye.
There was a dense bush.
Behind the bushes, separated by a wall, was my childhood cousin, holding her feverish child and looking a little crazy.
While his own child was dying of a cold and fever, the child's father was singing and dancing not far away, drinking and approaching another woman.
If this buff is fully stacked, Marquis Cheng'en will definitely die today.
As she expected, it was inside the gray-white low wall behind the bushes.
The thin cousin held the child in her arms, whose temperature had turned from hot to cold, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Her son was born prematurely, and he has been well cared for over the years, with no abnormalities seen.
But once there is a seasonal and large-scale infectious disease, he will definitely be infected.
The season had just changed, and an epidemic had spread to the villages and towns west of the capital, so her son was infected.
She asked someone to pass a message to her aunt, but her aunt was paralyzed and unable to speak and could not protect herself.
She turned to the child's father, the man who had once made a vow to her, but all she got was a "don't use the child as a shield."
With nowhere else to turn, she could only seek help from the hostile mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.
But the other party's maid said that the lady was busy discussing the diet and prescriptions of the young masters and young ladies with the cooks and doctors, and all the affairs in the mansion were handed over to the marquis.
She put aside her pride and went all out to beg her love rival, but ended up returning to the man who abandoned her and her child.
Unable to obtain medication, she could only watch her child die in her arms.
It is true that the child's greatest role is to help her enter the Marquis' Mansion, but after all, he is also her own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy.
She can use the child to set up a trap, but she cannot watch the child die.
Holding the already cold body, she muttered to herself.
“Cousin, why don’t you come to see me? Why don’t you give our children medicine?”
"You clearly said you loved me the most. You said that woman was all about money and all she knew how to do was count. Even her poetry and piano playing were full of worldly airs."
"You said you would let that woman die for me and the child. You said that woman's dowry would become the trump card for our family of three."
"But why is it that when the child was sick, the only medicine I received was brought by that woman's maid?"
"That woman clearly handed over the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion to you, so why didn't you come to see me? Why did you leave our sick child alone?"
"Zhao Ye, you liar, you deceived me and harmed our child. You deserve to die."
The sounds of playfulness outside the yard came in and penetrated into her mind.
Amidst the noise mixed with the sounds of musical instruments and a large number of unfamiliar voices talking, she accurately found the familiar voice.
The voice was saying.
"To be honest, before I got married, I went to the most efficacious temple in the suburbs. The abbot there said that Qin'er and I were made for each other."
"You and she are a perfect match, so why did you come to provoke me less than three days after getting married?"
With her eyes red, she took off the gold hairpin in her hair.
The gold hairpin carved with mandarin duck patterns was a token of love that Marquis Cheng'en had a craftsman make for her after they first got together.
As the golden hairpin was pulled out, her already not very clean hair fell down.
She put the child's body down steadily and climbed out through the lowest part of the wall with difficulty.
At the banquet.
Under the influence of alcohol and the flattery from all around, Marquis Cheng'en soon became unable to restrain his actions.
Before he became dizzy, he had only one idea in mind, which was to take the opportunity to get his wife drunk and get her pregnant.
So, drunk, he forgot the possible threat the other party might bring, and wanted to get closer to her more and more wantonly.
