Chapter 203: I won’t tell you

Cheng Yurong's face turned red to her ears, she looked at Shen Hong and then quickly lowered her head.

  He pretended to cough a few times and asked, "Daughter, what were you laughing at just now?"

  "Humph, I won't tell you." Ruan Ruan held his mouth and put his hands on his hips.

  Knowing that they didn't want to give her a younger sibling made her feel bad.

  Why not give birth? Why not give birth?

  Countless "why not have children" appeared in her mind. With her ability, it was not like she couldn't afford to raise a younger sibling.

  "Why didn't you tell us?" Shen Zhiyu's curiosity was aroused.

  Shen Hong picked up Ruan Ruan and said with a smile, "Daughter, would you like to tell daddy? Don't tell a few of them, just tell daddy."

  "???" The four brothers Shen Zhiyuan died speechless.

  Why should you only tell dad?

  Ruan Ruan Nu said, "Humph, I won't tell you anything, I'll let you guess, I'll make you jealous to death."

  She made up her mind and forced them to think hard, but they couldn't figure out the truth.

  "Sister, can you tell Fifth Brother?" Shen Zhicheng pretended to be pitiful and cute.

  Ruan Ruan shook his head: "No!"

  "Is it okay to tell the third brother?" Shen Zhiyu looked flattering.

  "No!"

  "Sister, can the fourth brother know?"

  "No!"

  "Can't the eldest brother know too? Little sister."

  "No!"

  ...

  In the days that followed, Ruan Ruan accelerated his practice again, every day There will be tens of thousands of merit gold income systems.

  Because starting from July and August, the child-seeking charms sold last winter, by August, wives had given birth to healthy Lin'er safely.

  November is the peak period.

  More than 50,000 merit gold is received every day.

  Relying on these merit gold, Ruan Ruan frantically bought pills for himself to practice.

  It took just three months to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.

  Prince Shen's Mansion is bustling with activity every day, with guests arriving in an endless stream to express their gratitude and give gifts.

  A wife who gives birth to a healthy child will send her husband to Prince Shen's Mansion in person to deliver a big gift.

  Cheng Yurong accepted the gift mercilessly, but she couldn't accept it. The ladies who bought the child-seeking charm would be uneasy and eager to go to Prince Shen's Mansion to express their gratitude in person.

  But it's winter now, and people are still in confinement, how can they go out?

  Cheng Yurong had no choice but to keep a record of the list and gifts. When the wives were out of confinement and the children had a full-moon banquet or a 100-year-old banquet, they would exchange the same gifts and send them back.

  In addition, the news that Prince Shen's family's child-seeking talisman has been tried and tested has become famous after several months of publicity.

  Every day, people come to my door asking to buy a child-seeking amulet.

  So Cheng Yurong was so busy this month that she had no time to think about her second wife Shen Shaosheng and Qin Manting.

  ...

  In the blink of an eye, the day came for the Qin family to execute the nine clans and behead them.

  After a month of investigating the case in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Dali Temple, seven officials and three wealthy businessmen who had affairs with the Qin family were discovered.

  Because the charges were minor, seven officials and three businessmen had their homes confiscated and were exiled.

  The property was confiscated, totaling 300 billion in gold.

  Directly filling the emperor's empty treasury would make the royal family members happy and honest officials laugh to death.

  The execution ground was located outside the suburbs.

  When the Qin family was carrying out executions, Qin Manting dragged her weak body to the execution ground with Shen Shaosheng.

  There were many people at the scene.

  Most of them were ordinary people watching the excitement, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were stationed to prevent assassins from kidnapping criminals.

  The officers and soldiers escorted each Qin family member to the execution ground, and the first one was Prime Minister Qin.

  "Grandpa -"

  Qin Manting cried and rushed over, but was stopped by two officers and soldiers.

  "One more step forward and we will kill you without mercy."

  "Let me see my grandfather and parents for the last time! I want to feed them something to eat before they can go on the road."

  "No! They have already eaten in the prison . Finished the last meal."     "Please be understanding, this money is not a sign of respect."

  Qin Manting took out a money bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

  "No, leave quickly."

  The officer and soldier pushed her hand away, and the money bag fell to the ground.

  Together with her people, they were almost pushed down.

  Shen Shaosheng supported Qin Manting and persuaded: "Go back! The emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to visit."

  "Grandpa——"

  "Mom and Dad——"

  "Brother——"

  Qin Manting looked at the family members on the execution ground kneeling on the ground, with their heads on their knees. On the Xing platform, standing next to him was the executioner.

  A few of them held large knives in their hands, shining brightly in the sun.

  It hit her eyes and made her dizzy for a moment.

  "Ting'er——"

  "Tingting——"

  "Sister, save me, I don't want to die."

  The familiar voices of her family members came to her ears, and their frightened screams tore her ears.

  "Ah ah ah -"

  bursts of screams sounded for a while and then disappeared instantly.

  After Qin Manting got used to the light and shadow of the sword, she opened her eyes again and saw that the Xing platform was full of bloody heads and headless corpses with no signs of life.

  In just a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred members of the Qin family had been beheaded on the execution ground.

  Outside the execution ground, there were hundreds of Qin family members waiting to be beheaded.

  "Ah ah ah -"

  Qin Manting couldn't bear this kind of blow, she screamed and fainted in Shen Shaosheng's arms.

  "Man Ting -"

  He carried her into the carriage. When he saw the blood on his hands, he realized that she had a stomachache and the skirt on her lower body was stained red.

  "Man Ting, hold on, I won't let anything happen to you, Man Ting -"

  At this moment, he was really afraid.

  Having seen the scene of beheading and death, he cherished her even more.

  The carriage galloped quickly on the official road, and pedestrians on both sides moved out of the way.

  Finally returning to the Protector's Mansion as quickly as possible, Shen Shaosheng hugged Qin Manting and got out of the car.

  The government doctor hurried over and gave me injections and medicine.

  Only then did Qin Manting stop the bleeding and wake up an hour later.

  "The young lady's child was temporarily saved today, but I can't guarantee whether I can save the child in the young lady's belly next time."

  The doctor stood at the door and whispered to Shen Shaosheng.

  "Why?"

  "The young lady's body is weak, and she suffered such a blow today. The amount of bleeding this time is not large, so we can guarantee it.

  But it's hard to say next time. I feel that the child in the young lady's belly is not developing very well, I'm afraid... ..."

  The doctor couldn't say it clearly, so as not to hurt Shen Shaosheng's face.

  After all, men value flesh and blood and face.

  "Isn't the development very good? Can't it be achieved by relying on meat and supplements?"

  Shen Shaosheng asked innocently, thinking that the child's poor development was because Qin Manting was weak.

  "The child in the young lady's belly is born with insufficient development, and no amount of supplements will help." The doctor directly named him.

  In case Qin Manting really miscarried some time later, it would be troublesome to blame him.

  "Congenitally underdeveloped?" Shen Shaosheng couldn't believe it.

  He was in such good health, how could it be possible that his first child would be born with developmental deficiencies?

  He didn't believe it.

  After Qin Manting woke up, her eyes were dull, she didn't eat or drink, and she lost weight in two or three days.

  Shen Shaosheng was so anxious that even coaxing and feeding could not bring her back to consciousness.

  A few days later, Shen Shaosheng found an imperial doctor to check Qin Manting's pulse.
