News of a concubine played by Hou Xuan's role as pregnant spread wildly. The yards in Suzhou and Jinling were crowded with people, especially the Hou Mansion in Suzhou. Hou Qi and Yang Shu sent a hundred guests in one day.

This huge power group finally has stronger cohesion. After all, if Hou Xuanyan is at this age, if he has no descendants for a long time, it is because of his health. A power group without heirs, no matter how powerful it is, it will fall apart when the core of this group grows old.

Now a pregnant woman is pregnant. Whether it is a man or a woman, it at least proves that Hou Xuanyan has the ability to give birth. Even if he has a daughter, he will continue to give birth. I don’t know how many people with heavy troops or power in the country have a sigh of relief. They need Hou Xuanyan to have a child, otherwise all achievements may become passing clouds. Taiping was originally a general, but it is not allowed to see Taiping. It is really a bloody battle, which has resulted in the success of the Northern Expedition and the Han Dynasty’s reinstatement, but it is not good to be killed by someone. Only Hou Xuanyan’s core, with an heir, can they unite and fight against the enemy together.

Some people were happy and some were worried. Many old gentry gentry in Jiangnan who were waiting for the Hou family to conquer the country and then collapsed were completely disappointed. A few days ago, their spokespersons, Liu Zhongzao and Lu Zhenfei, are still in prison.

In the city of Huzhou Prefecture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hou Xun and Mao Qizong sat opposite each other. These two families were prominent families in Jiangnan. Hou Xun was a high-ranking official of the Minister of Revenue during the Chongzhen Dynasty. Later, because Li Zicheng broke through Kaifeng, he held heavy troops and dared not rescue him and was arrested and imprisoned. This made him escape the disaster. Li Zicheng captured Beijing and he sneaked back to Jiangnan. Mao Qizong was even a ban on the border like Huguang Political Envoy. Therefore, it was so easy for these two sons, Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang to punish Bian Yujing, that was like killing an ant.

To put it bluntly, these beauties who are overwhelming and famous in Qinhuai eventually became playthings for wealthy young men. The plot of poor scholars who have obtained a beautiful woman by virtue of their talent will only appear in people's fantasy. One of Hou Fangyu's concubines is Li Xiangjun, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai, and another Dong Xiaowan was also taken into the room by Mao Xiang. They were not the reputation of their own vain talent, but more importantly, their prominent family background, which helped them successfully hunt for beauty.

No matter how good the literary talent of a poor scholar is, the overnight prostitution expenses of the Qinhuai Tower Boat are enough for their whole family to spend their entire life. How can they talk about love each other even if they can't meet each other? The reason why the scripts in later generations are all talented men and beautiful women rather than rich young men is simply because the story books are written by talented men.

If Hou Xuanyan hadn't taken action in time and stripped them of their clothes and tied them to the downtown market for one day, Bian Yujing's fate would have been very miserable. Maybe Bian Yujing, who was desperate, could only endure humiliation in their room as concubines in order to protect himself and his sister. Of course, such a great humiliation also made these two famous families and Hou Xuanyan completely resent. This made Bian Yujing successful, successfully entered the Duke's Mansion, and was still doing well in the backyard.

Both of them had a gloomy sad face. Hou Xun sighed: "I originally expected this guy to be a terrible family, but I didn't expect that he would have blood. Now the Northern Expedition Party will become even more rampant."

The Emperor Qiangqin looked elegant, with a blue shirt and a white robe, which made him look even more extraordinary. He took a sip of tea and said, "The court was extremely dark. I have already found out that every morning, the female official who held His Majesty was Ma Shiying's daughter. Ma Shiying was shameless and gave his daughter to Hou Xuanyan as a maid, but he actually exchanged for the position of a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. This is known to everyone in the world. The concubine who was pregnant in Hou Xuanyan was neither the other person nor the niece of Ma Shiying. Now in the court, the horse in the palace, and Yang Fujin, Ma Shiying, who harmed the traitor of Hongguang Dynasty, was about to reappear the power of that year."

Hou Xun smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "There is no way, let's bear it for now. The regicide case made him kill too many people. Jiangnan dared to speak, only a few of us are left. It's a pity that Chen Zilong and Qian Qianyi, what a good opportunity they have wasted, but it's a pity that such a good opportunity may never be there again."

Neither of these two people are stupid. Knowing that the current situation is going to continue to fight Hou Xuanyan, it is like hitting a stone with an egg. They have long been overwhelmed and know the meaning of forbearance. The glory and wealth in the world are like passing clouds. In their eyes, the longevity of the family is the ultimate pursuit.

The two of them avoided the humiliation of their son in a tacit understanding. This incident made the two families lose face and became the laughing stock of the entire Jiangnan. The two of them beat their son together and were confined to prevent the two of them from going out for a long time. What they were afraid of was that they did extreme things after being humiliated, so that the entire family would suffer.

The two of them were drinking tea and chatting, but soon they started to sect and returned home. Hou Xun stood up and gave him a look.

A young man in brocade clothes walked over quickly in the yard, followed by a few servants and maids, with a very grand appearance. The man was pale and thin, with a handsome face. At first glance, he was a wealthy young master who was both good at wine, sex, and wealth. He was Hou Fangyu, the precious son of Hou Xun.

When he saw Hou Xun's old slave, he asked loudly: "Where is my father?"

"Go back to the young master, he is going to send off Master Mao."

Hou Fangyu asked, "Which Lord Mao is it? Is my father of brother Mao Xiang?"

"Young Master is wise, he is Mr. Mao."

Hou Fangyu was in power and teased the maids around him. When the old butler saw that their actions were a bit frivolous and obscene, he lowered his head and turned around and was about to leave. Hou Fangyu called him and asked, "Uncle Mao wouldn't come easily, what's wrong with this coming?"

The old housekeeper was there to serve him all the time, and then he said briefly. The more Hou Fangyu listened, the more angry he became. When he talked about Hou Xuanyan, he remembered that day, he was stripped naked and tied to the downtown area and made a fool of himself. Until now, he and Mao Xiang dared not go out easily. This sense of humiliation was even more unbearable for him, a wealthy young man. Now he heard that Hou Xuanyan's concubine was pregnant, and his inner demon Hou Xuanyan was still fighting outside, and a bold idea suddenly arose in his heart.

Since ancient times, many mature and polite people have been ruined by a son who cheated on their fathers. These people do not have the experience and mind of their parents, and have grown up among women since childhood. They are arrogant and arrogant and cannot afford to suffer any grievances. They only want to be happy when doing things, but because of their family background, they can mobilize a lot of resources. Unlike ordinary bastards, they will cause trouble if they cause trouble.
