"This fox spirit is getting more and more audacious! Before, she only dared to pull some minor pranks behind my back, but now she even dares to seduce my husband in front of me. How despicable!" Zhou returned to her room, furious, and plopped down on a stool, ranting.

Ping'er stood aside, also with a displeased face.

"It's more than just awful; it's downright shameless." she said.

"My lady, it's best not to argue with someone like that. No matter what, she's just a concubine, and with her background as an opera singer, she's inherently lowly,"

"No matter how much favor I receive, it can't compare to what you have from your husband. Please don't get angry!" Ping'er advised again.

Zhou still fumed: “What’s even more infuriating is how that despicable thing could completely disorient my master!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

"As the saying goes, courtesans are heartless and actors are unprincipled. This courtyard has been turned into a den of iniquity by these despicable creatures, and even the entire Yang family has been affected!"

At this point, Zhou shifted her gaze and seemed to have thought of something.

She beckoned Ping'er closer, and in a hushed voice asked, "Has the medicine run out?"

Ping'er was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"Madam, rest assured, since Master brought you back from the theater troupe, the medicine has never stopped for a day." Ping'er said.

Zhou nodded. "That's good."

The anger on her face subsided slightly.

Are you taking advantage of my old age and fading beauty? Are you exploiting the fact that my eldest son is dead and I have no other sons, thinking you can seize power while I'm vulnerable? Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

I cannot bear any more sons, but at least I have a daughter.

You little fox spirits, don't even dream of having children!

"That medicine, it's really good for health. We should be fair when doing things. We should send some to the other concubines and maidservants in the house as well,"

"They help me by taking care of my worries, and they work very hard serving both the master and me. They deserve some tonic to replenish their bodies." Zhou Shi added.

Ping'er smiled knowingly, "Madam, please rest assured, this matter can be handled by me."

“It’s getting late, madam. You should go to bed and rest. Tomorrow you have to prepare for the old master’s birthday!”

Zhou shi 'hmm'ed, and got up to walk to the bedside.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Ping'er came over to help Zhou Shi take off her outer garments. Zhou Shi asked Ping'er, "Miss, has it been quiet over there since then?"

Ping'er said, "After reprimanding the wet nurse, Miss probably got scared and wouldn't dare to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Fang family again."

"But..." Ping'er hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

"But what?" asked Zhou shi.

Ping'er hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Miss has been crying all day. She didn't go to the night banquet last night, and she barely touched the food sent to her room."

“It seems she's truly heartbroken. She just doesn’t suit that young master from the Fang family...” Ping’er said.

Zhou furrowed her brows.

"Marriage is not a matter of whether or not she fancies someone."

"This is what the parents mean, it's for the sake of both families' businesses. She is still young and doesn't understand how difficult our Yang family's business has become in recent years."

“If we don't get married, I don't even know how long this facade can last! She's a girl, not a boy, she's destined to crumble under the pressure.”

"Since she couldn't bear the burden herself, then the only option was marriage. She would contribute her part to ensure the survival of the family!" Mrs. Zhou said.

Ping'er lowered her head, "Madam speaks truly. Miss is still young and doesn't understand Madam's good intentions."

When she's older, she'll understand.

Mrs. Zhou sighed.

“She’s still young, only five years old. How could she even think about not getting married?” she said to herself.

Ping'er couldn't help but speak up again from the side: "I guess Xiaocui saw the young master of the Fang family. That young master's face is really too ugly, I guess he scared Miss..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's brow furrowed once again.

>“A man doesn’t need any good looks, as long as he has wealth, connections, and power.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Even a toad can enjoy swan meat!” she said.

Ping'er stopped speaking.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Zhou sighed again, leaning back on the bed, "Sigh, after all, it's my own flesh and blood. She's heartbroken, and I can't feel good about it either."

“Ping’er, have you seen that young master Fang? He’s truly quite ugly,” she asked again.

Ping'er said, "I've met him once. He was incredibly ugly!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

And, because of being overweight, he looks somewhat clumsy and foolish.

Upon hearing Ping'er's words, Zhou shi's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

After a moment, she spoke: "At tonight's banquet, the young girl Liu brought with her seemed to be about the same age as our Hua Hua?"

Ping'er thought about it carefully and nodded, "Yes, that little girl was very beautiful. I even went to ask Liu shi about her,"

“So she’s the third daughter of the Liu family, five years old this year. She's the same age as our Miss Hua, just a few months younger.”

Zhou nodded thoughtfully, her eyes lost in contemplation.

"Alright then, tomorrow morning, you go and invite her and her daughter over. I have something to talk to Madam Liu about."

After Yang Wenxuan and his concubine had a night of passionate lovemaking, both of them were exhausted and panting heavily.

Yang Wenxuan was already in his forties. Today, during the day, he had paid a visit to his daughter-in-law Ting'er and now, when he arrived at his ferocious concubine's place, he felt somewhat powerless.

After hastily finishing, the concubine complained to Yang Wenxuan with some reluctance: "Master, don't you like me anymore? It's been a long time since I've served you. But it seems like you don't want me to serve you very much. I'm so heartbroken!"

Yang Wenxuan raised his hand to knead the full and soft chest of his concubine: "I like you serving me, but tonight I'm really a bit tired."

The concubine obediently sat up and began massaging Yang Wenxuan's shoulders.

"Master, is this comfortable?" she asked.

"Mmm, that feels good." Yang Wenxuan rolled over and lay on his stomach in bed.

The concubine then straddled his back, her soft hands bustling about.

"Master,"

"Hmm?"

"I have a request to make of you."

Come on, hear me out!

"I want to give birth to a son for my grandfather."

When Yang Wenxuan heard his concubine's words, he immediately turned his head to look at her, his face filled with astonishment and a hint of disbelief.

"How could you say that? Could it be...you're...?"

He asked excitedly, his breath coming in short gasps.

The concubine smiled seductively, "Not yet, but as long as my lord visits my room more often and showers me with his affections, I'm sure I'll conceive."

“The last time I went to the street, I met a fortune teller who told me that I was destined to have three sons!”

Upon hearing his concubine's words, the excitement on Yang Wenxuan's face faded, replaced by a deep sense of disappointment.

"Oh, don't mention it. You came in late and didn't know what happened," Yang Wenxuan said.

Ever since my eldest son, Hui'er, passed away, these past years, I haven't been shy about indulging the women in this courtyard. It's strange, you see. Not a single child, not even a girl, has been born to me.

"Oh, I spoke wrong. It's only the lady who bore me a son, and there are no others!"
