I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 157 Let Me Serve You Alone
Chen De kept his mouth shut tighter than a clam. Even after Xie Fei asked him this, he refused to say a word.

"Is it difficult to talk about it?" Xie Fei became more and more curious about Yuan San's background and his connection with the Chen family.

After a long while, Chen De sighed deeply and said, "It's not that I concealed it on purpose, it's really this matter...please forgive me."

Seeing him in such a dilemma, Xie Fei smiled instead, "I was just asking casually. It's not easy for you to say it out loud, so I won't pursue it."

Chen De looked embarrassed, as if he felt guilty for hiding the truth from Xie Fei.

After the waiter prepared the medicine, Xie Fei went out. Suddenly, he saw a maid running towards him hurriedly at the corner of the street, looking panicked and anxious.

The maid was from Pei Mansion and seemed to be serving Pei Yuan.

Xie Fei narrowed his eyes and stood still.

The maid didn't notice her at all. She rushed into the pharmacy, crawling and tumbling. After a while, she rushed out grabbing a doctor, shouting "Hurry, hurry, hurry" all the time.

Soon, the two figures disappeared again.

Why are you so panicked? Who is in trouble?
Xie Fei said to Chen Dafa, "I don't know if it's good news or bad news, I'll go check it out first. When Mama Liu finishes her errand, you guys can come to Pei Mansion to find me."

After saying that, she followed him straight ahead.

There was chaos in the Pei Mansion, so Pei Yuan was carried back by others.

Ever since Miao's accident, Pei Yuan had been hanging out in red-light districts every day, staying in a brothel for several days at a time.

Just this afternoon, the servant saw that he had not gotten up for a long time, so he went up and lifted the bed curtain. He was actually lying on the bed with a pale face and bleeding from his nose.

The servants quickly carried the person back. When Xiao Shirong found out, he felt embarrassed and angry.

It's obvious that this is related to alcohol and sex. If it gets out, it will be so embarrassing.

She immediately blocked the news and asked the maid to call a doctor, but in her heart she hoped that Pei Yuan would die soon.

When Xie Fei rushed to Chaohui Pavilion, he only heard crying inside.

Her heart suddenly sank and she thought, is he dead?

Pei Yuan cannot die now.

As long as he didn't die, Xie Fei would still be a noble concubine.

After his death, Xie Fei didn't know what to do.

Her fake death drug is not yet complete, and she does not have a legitimate identity to escape, so this person must not die now.

However, after entering, they found that the man was not dead yet, but was just spurting blood again, which scared the concubines and servants.

The doctor was already making a diagnosis, but Xiao Shirong locked the door and did not allow anyone else to enter or leave.

Xie Fei was standing guard outside, and when he saw Xiang Xiaoniang was there, he asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

Xiang Xiaoniang was crying bitterly and was frightened when she heard this.

"Thank you, thank you sister, why are you back?"

Xie Fei did not explain, but asked: "What was the condition of the master when he was carried back?"

Xiang Xiaoniang was still in shock. She patted her chest, not knowing for a moment whether to cry first or answer Xie Fei's question first.

She choked up and said, "I didn't see anything, but I heard from the servants that there was no movement."

Xie Fei recalled carefully what symptoms would appear if he were infected with syphilis, gonorrhea, or even AIDS.

However, according to her understanding, there should not be a disease like "AIDS" in this era, and the most likely disease is syphilis.

Pei Yuan was addicted to alcohol and sex, never exercised, and had an irregular lifestyle. In addition, his kidney qi was deficient, and his body's resistance was extremely poor.

It's not surprising to be infected with syphilis.

Just as Xie Fei was thinking, Xiao Shirong came out of the house as if running for his life, with an expression as if there was a ghost behind him.

The maids behind her also stumbled out and closed the door. The people outside didn't understand, only Xie Fei understood that they might have seen some dirty marks on Pei Yuan.

Xiao Shirong took a deep breath at the door and looked at the people standing outside.

Her eyes fell on Xie Fei, and Xiao Shirong was slightly surprised. "Xie, why are you back here instead of staying at the farm?"

Xie Fei said, "I met a maid on the street looking for a doctor. I was worried, so I came back to find out what happened."

Xiao Shirong sneered, "You're worried? Are you hoping something will happen in the mansion?"

Xie Fei said nothing.

Xiao Shirong looked at everyone again, and an idea formed in his mind.

"The master is ill, you should all do something, otherwise the Pei Mansion will support a bunch of good-for-nothings while you make no contribution."

Everyone was puzzled for a moment, and then they heard Xiao Shirong say: "From today on, you will take turns to take care of the master until the master recovers."

Suddenly, there was an uproar among the people below.

Everyone avoids syphilis as much as possible. Knowing that it is something that cannot be touched, no one would be foolish enough to get close to it.

However, Xiao Shirong asked the concubines to take care of him, which showed that he did not take their lives seriously at all.

Saving lives was the most important thing, no one cared about status and everyone protested.

"Madam, the doctor and maids are here, why do you need us to serve you?"

"Yes, madam, what the master needs most right now is rest. It is inevitable that we will disturb the master's peace when we move around."

"Madam, I have caught a cold recently and have not recovered yet. Ahem, the master is already weak, ahem, if I pass the disease on to the master, wouldn't it be harmful to others?"

"Madam, I am sick too..."

The concubines were extremely anxious and kept shirking responsibility. No one dared to show their loyalty at this critical moment.

Xiao Shirong looked at everyone with a mocking look on his face.

"Look at you all. You always say how much you love each other, but when the real thing comes, you run away faster than a dog."

The concubines dared to be angry but not to speak out.

Seeing Xie Fei again, Xiao Shirong curled her lips and said, "Sister Xie is your concubine. I will start from Sister Xie and guard you every day until the master recovers."

Xie Fei said slowly: "The eldest lady is the mistress of the house, shouldn't we start with her?"

The maid next to Xiao Shirong said, "Xie Xiaoniang, please stop talking nonsense. Now that the master is ill, the huge Pei Mansion needs the support of the eldest lady. If something happens to the eldest lady, what will you be punished for?"

Xie Fei sneered.

All the concubines felt as if a disaster was about to happen, and some almost fainted, as if they had seen the end of their lives.

Seeing that everyone had ugly faces, Xiao Shirong felt a sense of pleasure as if he had taken revenge.

If Pei Yuan fell ill and died together with these women, that would be such a relief!
Clearing his throat, Xiao Shirong said calmly, "If the master recovers, you will definitely reward him. You must serve him well and not neglect him at all, otherwise, no one will get any good results!"

After she finished speaking, she hurried to leave Chaohui Pavilion, fearing that she would be infected with syphilis.

But after taking a few steps, Xie Fei bowed and said, "Madam, please stay."

Xiao Shirong immediately glared at him fiercely, thinking that Xie Fei was up to some new trick.

However, Xie Fei only said: "I think that all the sisters are ill and cannot serve the master. However, I know a little about medicine and am the most suitable candidate."

Xiao Shirong raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then?"

Xie Fei smiled and said, "Why not let me serve the master alone?"
