r 283  "Don't talk nonsense."

  Huang Wan'er patted her chest, then reached into the basin to wash her hands and wiped her mouth. In fact, there was nothing in her mouth, just dry heaving.

  Du Juan said, "Madam, why don't you tell Master Chen and ask him to think of a solution? Otherwise, if you show your pregnancy in a few months, how will you explain it to the gang leader?"

  Dujuan was so anxious that he was sweating.

  If the gang leader knew that his wife was pregnant, guess what the scene would be like.

  Huang Wan'er took a sip of tea, calmed down and smiled: "Haha, if he asks, I will say it's his."

  Du Juan almost cried after hearing this: "Madam, please stop making a fuss. Everyone knows the situation of the gang leader. How could he make someone pregnant?"

  Huang Wan'er laughed and said, "Yeah, how could he make someone pregnant?"

  "Then I will say that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who took pity on him and gave him a son. How about that?"

  "lady!"

  Du Juan was about to cry. Huang Wan'er said, "Okay, I won't scare you anymore. I'll find a way."

  After hearing this, Du Juan looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "Madam, I actually have an idea for you!"

  "Um?"

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan, who said, "I know a midwife in the city. How about I go get an abortion pill and we can abort the baby!"

  "No, I can't!"

  Huang Wan'er suddenly stood up excitedly: "This is my child, if you dare to take advantage of him, I will kill you!"

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan with madness and murderous intent on her face!

Month-end summary

  Time flies and another month has passed.

  It has been two months since it was put on the shelves without me noticing. I have kept up the promise of frequent updates and have been writing 10,000 words a day for two months now. I have even received the badge for updating 10,000 words a month.

  Secretly speaking, it is said that this badge is only a little more than the 10,000-order badge. I am proud that I have one, hehe~

  In addition, there has been a small improvement in the results, from an average of 1,200 to the current average of 1,800. Thank you all for your support.

  Three hundred thousand words were written this month. Chen Jiusi has gone from being a small figure in Mianshui County to the current head of the White Tiger Hall and a prominent figure in Mianshui County. It can be said that he has made great progress.

  Next, Chen Jiusi will continue to move forward and climb to the highest position. The story will still be exciting, and I hope everyone will continue to support him.

  Finally, let me talk about the plans for next month.

  I will continue to update frequently in July, with 10,000 words per day. I hope the average subscription can exceed 2,000.

  Finally, let me talk about the rules for adding chapters. If you get 1,000 monthly votes, you can add a chapter of 10,000 words. If you become the leader, you can add a chapter of 10,000 words.

  In addition, tomorrow is the beginning of the month, and the monthly votes will be recalculated. Please vote. Thank you.

Chapter 153: Master Chen, the gang leader invites you!

  "Husband, Madam, I, I didn't mean that!"

  Du Juan was frightened by Huang Wan'er's eyes and trembled all over. She knew too well how crazy her lady was. She would be very upset if she was misunderstood as someone who really had some intentions towards the child in her belly.

  Then my life is over.

  The lady would have countless ways to kill herself, even including destroying herself and herself.

  Dujuan believed that if the baby in the lady's belly was really gone.

  Moreover, it was her own doing. The madam would most likely go directly to the gang leader and tell him that she had been defiled, and that it was she, a little girl, who let the wild man in. In that case, she would definitely be killed without a burial place.

  The gang leader will definitely treat you in the cruelest way. Yes, it's as cruel as you imagine.

  "Ma'am, please don't misunderstand me. I, I am doing this for your own good!"

  Huang Wan'er said: "I don't need you to be nice to me! Tell me, you didn't drug me, did you?"

  Du Juan shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, Madam, I dare not, I dare not."

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan with a scrutinizing look, and then asked, "Du Juan, how long have you been with me?"

  Du Juan said: "Three years."

  Huang Wan'er said, "Yes, it's been three years. Back then, you were still the little maid who was bullied and had to eat moldy buns. Some people even said they wanted to give you to the dung-carrying bald-headed Wu Dang as his wife. You cried and told me that you wanted to change and serve me for the rest of your life. I said no, I would give you freedom in five years."

  "It's been three years now, haha... there are still two years left. I don't want to break my promise, and I don't want you to break your promise and betray me!"

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan.

  After hearing this, Du Juan knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, it is because you saved me from the dire situation that I must tell you the truth!"

  "Madam, we can't keep this child. If the gang leader finds out, you will definitely die, and Master Chen will also be implicated, and this child won't be saved, so Madam, please think twice!"

  Du Juan said to Huang Wan'er.

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan and said, "Du Juan, go now."

  "ah?"

  Du Juan looked at Huang Wan'er, and Huang Wan'er said, "I will give you freedom. There are two thousand taels of silver in the box over there. Take it, leave Mianshui County, and live a good life somewhere where no one can find you."

  "Oh, madam, please don't drive me away, I want to follow you!"

  Huang Wan'er said: "You are right, this child will kill people, but I can't live without him, and I understand your fear, so please leave, leave this place, and I will give you the freedom you want!"

  "No, no ma'am, I don't want freedom, I don't want freedom, I just want to follow you, I..."

  Huang Wan'er looked at her and said, "Be obedient. If you follow me, you will most likely be implicated. You'd better leave. I'm pregnant for another four months, or even three months, and I may not be able to hide it anymore. By then, you will be implicated. Leave me and live the life you like."

  Huang Wan'er said slowly to Du Juan. Du Juan heard this and said, "Madam, no, let me serve you. In your current situation, if you change a maid, you will definitely be discovered in advance. I will serve you for at least three months. Within three months, no one will find out. I will arrange everything."

  Huang Wan'er was silent, and Du Juan said, "Madam, please."

  Huang Wan'er said: "He will die."

  Du Juan said: "I'm not afraid!"

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan and said, "Two months. You can stay with me for two months at most. After two months, you must leave!"

  Du Juan heard this and said, "Madam."

  "This is an order!"

  Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan, then sat back on the cushion and picked up a Buddhist scripture.

  After hearing this, Du Juan kowtowed and said, "Madam, if you let me go, I will listen to you. But Madam, you still have to tell Master Chen that you are pregnant."

  "Tell him what to do?"

  Huang Wan'er was reading the Buddhist scriptures without looking up. Du Juan said, "He, he is the father of the child!"

  Huang Wan'er said: "It doesn't matter. He will have many children in the future, but this child is mine. I want to protect him!"

  Du Juan wanted to say something, but Huang Wan'er said, "If you dare to tell Chen Lang about this, leave here immediately. I don't need you to serve me anymore."

  "Ma'am, I, I won't tell."

  Dujuan lowered her head.

  Huang Wan'er continued reading the scriptures, her hand unconsciously touching her lower abdomen, "My child, I have to protect him myself."

  …

  Drive, drive, drive...

  Chen Jie and his party rushed back to Baihu Hall quickly. As soon as he arrived at Baihu Hall, he saw Zhou Chu waiting for him.

  Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, "Old Zhou, what's the matter?"

  Zhou Chu said: "Master, look."

  Chen Jie looked over and saw colorful glass in Zhou Chu's hand.

  "Why are there so many impurities?"

  Chen Jie looked at the glass in Zhou Chu's hand and asked, "As a time traveler, aren't salt, glass, and soap things that should be invented?"

  The sale of granulated salt has already begun, and the profit from purifying salt is also considerable.

  Apart from salt, the next thing is glass. The simplest way to make glass is to burn sand at high temperature.

  If you want to purify it, you need to add substances such as soda ash.

  This secret workshop has already been established and is currently located in the inner courtyard of the White Tiger Hall, and is counted as the sixth part.

  As mentioned before, the inner courtyard of the White Tiger Hall is divided into three rooms and five departments, including the accounting office, logistics room, and guard department.

  There are also five other departments, namely: Kitchen Department, Eunuch Department, Foreign Service Department, Flower Department, and Horse and Carriage Department, and now a Craftsman Department has been added.

  The Artisan Department is currently researching two items, cement and glass.

  Cement is currently only in the project establishment stage, and there is no increase in research and development efforts, because Chen Jie does not need to fight a war at present. If a war is needed, this kind of cement will be a secret weapon for quickly building walls and fortresses, and it can be considered a strategic material.

  Therefore, the project was just established but not used.

  Another thing is glass. Chen Jie is planning to increase his efforts in the research and development of glass, and his purpose is to make money.

  There is a substance very similar to glass in this era, called glaze.

  The relationship between glass and colored glaze is like the difference between artificial diamonds and natural diamonds, in that the difference cannot be detected by the naked eye.

  But colored glaze was very expensive in that era.

  Its value is even on the same level as gems, or even more expensive than gems.

  Chen Jie needs money to reform his gang, and colored glass is a great treasure. Especially after he masters the technology, he can make many high-end colored glass products in the future.
