In order to fill his stomach, Liu Chen deliberately came to He Shuzhen's yard.

He Shuzhen was extremely excited when she saw Liu Chen. She ran over and hugged his neck: "I thought you were bewitched by those little vixens and didn't come to my place anymore."

In the past few days, Liu Chen had been living a comfortable life with the fourth concubines, enjoying their busy and caring. But when he came to He Shuzhen, she asked him to take care of her busy and caring: "You are the mistress of the Liu Mansion, how could I ignore you."

He Shuzhen exuded a pungent fragrance that made him sneeze continuously: "Why did you sprinkle so much floral water?"

He Shuzhen was too embarrassed to tell the real reason: "I just bought this and wanted to try it out, but I accidentally spilled too much."

Liu Chen pushed He Shuzhen away: "Change your clothes, I can't stand the stench."

"Okay." It had been such a long time since Liu Chen came to He Shuzhen's yard, so he did whatever he said.

He Shuzhen immediately ran back to her room, changed her clothes, and walked to the living room. The maid put dinner on the table, and Liu Chen picked up the chopsticks to eat before she even sat down.

This made her very unhappy, but she didn't say it to her face as they were eating.

Aunt Mei's personal maid ran into the living room in a hurry: "Master, Aunt Mei is not feeling well, please go and see her."

Liu Chen nervously put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and walked out.

This made He Shuzhen very angry. She had finally waited for Liu Chen to come to her yard, but this damned Aunt Mei actually dared to come to her yard to rob people. She stepped forward to stop Liu Chen: "You have worked hard all day, take a good rest, I will ask the doctor to go to Aunt Liu's yard."

The maid looked at Liu Chen nervously: "Master, Auntie's illness is not very serious, she just can't eat, nausea and vomiting."

"Then I have to go and take a look." Liu Chen stayed in the rooms of several concubines for a while, guessing that they might be pregnant.

He ignored He Shuzhen's dissuasion and followed the maid to Aunt Mei's courtyard.

He Shuzhen's face became distorted. She didn't expect these concubines to be so powerful. They became pregnant with Liu Chen's child in such a short time. She was so angry that she overturned the table.

Xiaoyu walked up to He Shuzhen and said, "Madam, don't be angry. Aunt Mei may not be pregnant. She may just be feeling unwell."

He Shuzhen regained some of her sanity: "I hope so. I don't want these concubines to get pregnant before me."

A few days passed, and before He Shuzhen could recover from the shock, she heard shocking news: not only was Aunt Mei pregnant, but Aunt Zhu was also pregnant. She was so angry that she locked herself in her room.

Aunt Mei took advantage of the fact that she was pregnant and began to plot against He Shuzhen: "Master, Aunt Zhu and I are both pregnant at the same time, and we don't have enough to eat every day."

Liu Chen had no choice. His monthly salary was limited, and before the refugees were stranded in the capital, it was just enough to cover the expenses of the mansion. Now the price of food in the capital has skyrocketed, and it was good enough to be able to survive.

Sadness diluted the joy in my heart a lot: "I know that the food in the mansion will be given to you two first."

Aunt Mei couldn't bear to let Liu Chen starve, and she was also afraid that he would starve to death. If something happened to Liu Chen, who would she rely on for the rest of her life? The food they stole could last them for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he tried to sow discord between Liu Chen and He Shuzhen: "There's no need to live so tightly. Madam bought several hundred kilograms of rice. Just ask Madam to give some to us."

"I'm afraid she won't give it to me." Liu Chen knew his status and position, and it was useless to be arrogant in front of He Shuzhen.

"How will you know if you don't try."

Liu Chen hesitated for a long time, and for the sake of the children in his two concubines' bellies, he decided to ask He Shuzhen for food: "I'm going to find the madam now."

Watching Liu Chen leave, Aunt Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The personal maid was very worried: "Even if the young master goes there in person, the lady may not give him food."

"My goal is not food, but to alienate the young master from his wife."

The maid was not so optimistic: "The young master's career depends on Madam. Even if the young master is unhappy, he will not show it to her face. He will still go to Madam's yard when he should."

Aunt Mei knew clearly in her heart: "As long as the young master's heart is not entirely with the lady, he will not ignore us."

……

"What? You want me to give food to the two pregnant concubines." He Shuzhen looked at Liu Chen angrily.

"I have no choice. They are pregnant and I can't let them starve."

He Shuzhen sneered: "What does my aunt's pregnancy have to do with me? Why should I give them food to eat?"

"You are the mistress of the Liu Mansion. Their child calls you mother, and you have the heart to watch him die without saving him."

"Of course." He Shuzhen replied coldly: "It's not like I can't have children."

"You..." Liu Chen waved his hand angrily and slapped He Shuzhen hard.

He Shuzhen, who had been spoiled since childhood, couldn't stand it and grabbed Liu Chen's hair and refused to let go: "How dare you hit me."

Liu Chen is a man, there is no way He Shuzhen could beat him. He pushed him hard and He Shuzhen fell to the ground. He left without paying any attention.

He Shuzhen, unable to bear the grievance, ignored the refugees wandering around outside the mansion and got on the carriage back to the He mansion.

Seeing He Shuzhen with disheveled hair, a swollen left fair cheek, and tears of grievance in her eyes, Chen Lerong asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Liu Chen, he hit me." He Shuzhen almost cried when she thought of Liu Chen's merciless slap on her face.

Chen Lerong's anger was rising: "Why did he hit you?"

"My two concubines are pregnant, and Liu Chen asked me to give them rice to eat. Why should I help him raise the children?"

Chen Lerong supported He Shuzhen's action: "That's right, if you want to raise a child, you should raise your own child. Why are you running back?"

"Of course I'll go find my father and ask him to give me justice."

"Are you confused because of anger?" Chen Lerong pulled He Shuzhen to a corner and said, "At the beginning, your father didn't agree with you marrying Liu Chen, but you cried and insisted on marrying him. Now that you are wronged, you go to him and make a scene. Do you think he will help you?"

He Shuzhen came to her senses, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

After all, she was her daughter. He Shuzhen was wronged, and Chen Lerong felt bad in her heart: "You are not pregnant yet, don't make a big fuss with Liu Chen, lest he come to your room when he is not here. If Liu Chen dares to ask you for food, it must be a few concubines who instigated him. Get rid of the concubines and show your power as the mistress of the house."

After getting the advice, He Shuzhen stopped crying.

He Shulan, who returned to the He Mansion to worship her mother, heard the conversation between Chen Lerong and her daughter, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Liu Chen's fourth concubine is not a vegetarian. This is just the beginning. Once the four of them give birth to the babies in their bellies and have someone to rely on, they will make even more trouble.
