Chapter 390 A chaotic family
However, Chen Chen was too busy. As soon as he put the medicine residue aside, he went back to the work at hand. After asking someone to send the waiter away, he immediately went to the main hall to serve the masters dinner.
He had to wait until the masters had finished eating before he could eat, and then he had to deal with various matters in the mansion. Li Shou went to work in the Hanlin Academy and came back in the evening.
Chen Chen also had to check the purchased items and the upcoming Lantern Festival, and was busy until dinner.
Chen Chen also had to serve dinner in the evening, and Li Shou went out to drink with friends shortly after get off work.
The eldest lady Zhou Ying is a concubine's daughter of the Zhou family, but she looks like a lady from a noble family. She is very polite to others and often gives money to Chen Chen to ask about Li Shou's whereabouts. Sometimes she cries to him about how she was ignored after marrying into the Li family.
Zhou Ying also said that if Li Shou came back one day, he must tell her, and she would be willing to come out and serve the young master no matter how late it was.
Chen Chen also felt very sympathetic towards Zhou Ying. He really wanted to catch this philandering guy from the restaurant and kick him into the backyard, but he was just a housekeeper and this was something that Li Shou's father should do. However, Master Li was not reliable and pretended to be very busy, but in fact he was fooling around with his mistress.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. Chen Chen was speechless.
That day, Li Shou came back drunk with a waiter. It was a strange face and it was not the same Xiaobao as in the morning. Chen Chen felt tired and quickly notified Zhou Ying and then he went to hold the man back.
Li Shou was already drunk at this moment and was still mumbling: "Xiaobao! Xiaobao!"
The waiter supported Li Shou and said with an awkward smile: "Master Li, Xiaobao will accompany the Marquis tonight. If you want to drink, I will drink with you..."
At this time, Chen Chen felt that he had appeared, so as to prevent Li Shou from being cheated again. Seeing someone blocking the way, the young man was a little unhappy. Seeing the handsome appearance of the young man in front of him, he thought he was Li Shou's catamite. He smiled and said, "My dear, Master Li is drunk. I want to help him back to his room to rest."
Chen Chen stopped the man and said, "Thank you, sir, for sending the young master back. The servants here will take care of him. You can go back now!"
The waiter said to Li Shou in a coquettish tone, "Master Li likes to be served by his servants. Don't you think so, Master Li?"
The money they took after getting people drunk was earned by their own cleverness. Although Li Shou was not as generous as the Marquis, he was much more generous than others. He wanted to make a fortune!
Li Shou blushed and smiled innocently, nodding his head. He said, "Yes, yes, yes... Let's go back to the room..."
Seeing that Li Shou was about to be cheated again, Chen Chen immediately said, "Master, your monthly salary is very limited!"
Speaking of Yueyin, Li Shou immediately regained consciousness. He pushed the waiter away and said, "I'm going home now. You don't have to accompany me!"
At this time Zhou Ying also came. Seeing Li Shou drunk, she frowned and covered her nose, looking very disgusted. But when she found that her expression was seen by Chen Chen, she quickly changed to a worried look, gave a look to the maid Xiao Cui, and helped Li Shou back to the room.
Xiao Cui stopped the young waiter who wanted to pull Li Shou away and stuffed some silver into his pocket. With the money, the young waiter was naturally willing to let go.
Chen Chen watched as Zhou Ying resolved this somewhat tense situation in an instant. He felt that Zhou Ying did have some skills, but it was a pity that she married Li Shou, a homosexual.
After checking to make sure there was nothing wrong, Chen Chen returned to his room alone with a lamp. When he opened the door and looked at the medicine bag on the table, he remembered that he had not asked anyone to check the medicine residue.
But it's too late now and we have to wait until tomorrow. Chen Chen woke up and checked the breakfast menu. Fortunately, Zhou Ying was there this time and Li Shou didn't make trouble in the morning.
It’s just that Li Shou’s expression was not very good when he was eating in the morning, while Zhou Ying’s eyes and eyebrows were smiling.
Chen Chen felt something was strange. He was going out of the house to do some business in the morning and took the bag of medicine residue with him.
There were many doctors in the city, so he found a more famous one to see him. The results the doctor gave him surprised him.
"This is the residue of the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. I knew it the moment I smelled it..."
Chen Chen was completely stunned. The doctor mentioned smelling the medicine. He had smelled the medicine several times in the backyard. This meant that someone in the backyard was pregnant!
But Li Shou was a homosexual and it was impossible for him to let the woman in the backyard get pregnant. Besides, the only women in the backyard of Li's mansion were Zhou Ying and her maid Xiao Cui who came with her as a dowry.
Either Zhou Ying is pregnant or Xiao Cui is pregnant, but no matter who is pregnant, there is a problem!
Chen Chen accidentally bumped into a man while walking and thinking. The man was tall and strong, a head taller than him. He looked very handsome, but his expression was quite cold.
The amazing thing is that this grown man actually has an earring on his left ear like a woman! What a weird man!
Strange as it was, Chen Chen still had to apologize for bumping into someone. He said, "Sorry! I bumped into you!"
The man looked at Chen Chen, and then he suddenly asked: "What did Cao Cao ride in battle?!"
Chen Chen asked in confusion, "Who is Cao Cao?"
The man was very disappointed when he heard Chen Chen's answer. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It's not him! Where did he go, Ah Chen? Ah Chen..."
Chen Chen felt like he had met a madman. He stuffed one of the buns he had bought into the man's hand, and seeing that he looked quite pitiful, he gave him something to eat.
After doing this, Chen Chen ran away. He was afraid that this madman would hit someone, so he better stay away from him!
Later, after Chen Chen's secret observation, he discovered that the pregnant person was Zhou Ying!
That day, Chen Chen brought some hawthorn cakes for Zhou Ying to eat. At first, Zhou Ying liked the aroma of the hawthorn cakes very much, but Chen Chen said, "Although this hawthorn cake is appetizing, pregnant women should not eat too much because it has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
"cough!"
Zhou Ying stopped chewing and silently put the bitten hawthorn cake back.
After Chen Chen left the backyard, Xiao Cui threw the hawthorn cake out. Zhou Ying's behavior proved that she actually knew she was pregnant.
As for who Zhou Ying's lover was, Chen Chen speculated that it was most likely Jin Linle. He often went to the backyard to play the flute for Zhou Ying to entertain her, and they developed feelings for each other over time.
Another important piece of evidence is that Jin Linle has the scent of Zhou Ying's makeup on him, a scent that only Zhou Ying has.
"What a big head!"
Chen Chen felt that the Li Mansion was really a mess!
Mr. Li dotes on his concubine and often cheats on Madam Li. Young Master Li Shou is a homosexual who likes to drink and have fun in brothels. Madam Zhou Ying and Le Ling Jinlin are secretly pregnant with Le Zhu.
Chen Chen suddenly thought that he should just leave! After all, his indenture had been redeemed, and he was now a free man. As long as the contract was up, he could leave.
His contract is for five years, and it will end on his next birthday. They should get along well during this period, and when the contract expires, he will tell Mr. Li that he wants to leave.
Fortunately, his birthday is just before the Lantern Festival, which is less than a month away.
