Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 521 their own way
Yuan Xi felt quite amused when she saw Mrs. Du's panic. She thought that she had never noticed before that Mrs. Du was dignified and polite on the surface, but she was actually a person who loved to think wildly.

Although the private relationship between Yuan Xi and Mrs. Du is already very close, Mrs. Du is still cautious on weekdays, fearing that if Lu Lingqi learns about their affairs, it will look bad in some aspects.

But little did she know that Lu Lingqi had already figured it out from the clues, but she didn't care much. After all, in Yuan Xi's inner house, the one Lu Lingqi trusted the most was Mrs. Du. In addition, Lu Lingqi had a special status and always had the same relationship with other people. Being separated by some distance, having the help of an acquaintance like Mrs. Du also made Lu Lingqi feel less lonely.

Yuan Xi found that although Cai Zhaoji, Lu Lingqi and the others were his concubines in name, and they didn't seem to have any complaints about this situation, in fact, they still had a heart in their hearts.

So Cai Zhaoji simply gave up her official identity. Lu Lingqi would rather go out to fight. Even Mi Zhen had mentioned more than once that she hoped to stay in Haixi and preside over the affairs of the Mi family fleet instead of returning to inherit it.

Perhaps it is precisely because they have things and desires they want to do and are willing to work hard for their ideals that they have the confidence to retain their dignity as women, right?

Yuan Xi respects them very much. After all, in the thousands of years since China broke away from matrilineal society, women have become increasingly dependent on men.

The role of women has gradually evolved into a vassal of childbearing. The opportunities for women to display their talents and make themselves known have gradually decreased as their social status has declined.

Under this general trend, there are still people like Cai Zhaoji and Lu Lingqi who are unwilling to become dependent on men in their own fields of expertise and want to compete with men by relying on their own talents. Yuan Xi is not satisfied with this. He objected, but maintained considerable respect for them.

You must know that thousands of years later, even if society becomes more fair than it is now, and women will have more opportunities to display their talents, a considerable number of women have given up their right to earn their own living. On the one hand, they want to rely on men to get something for nothing, but on the other hand, they It is quite absurd to talk about how unfair society is and how it will regress to a state where women were inferior to those of 2000 years ago.

Therefore, Yuan Xi maintains the utmost respect for Cai Zhaoji and Mi Zhen, because no matter in what era, people who refuse to get something for nothing, have ideals and can put them into action are honorable.

Thinking of Mi Zhen, Yuan Xi also had a headache because of the whereabouts of his adoptive father Liu Bei.

I heard that after Mi Fang escorted Mrs. Gan to Ling County, she and Guan Yu had a very unpleasant quarrel, because Liu Bei's whereabouts had been unknown.

Yuan Xi couldn't understand, where did Liu Bei go?

Did he really die silently in a ravine?

Mrs. Du held on to the door frame and saw that Yuan Xi seemed to be in a trance. Her originally worried heart gradually relaxed, and she heard Yuan Xi say: "Aren't you tired from standing?"

"Come in and talk, I won't do anything to you."

Mrs. Du panicked, "If the young master has anything to say, I can just listen here."

"Last time, the young master also lied to me and said he didn't know what to do, but the result was"

Yuan Xi touched her nose and thought that Mrs. Du had become smarter and it was hard to be deceived.

He stood up. When Mrs. Du saw it, she took a step back in fright and almost tripped over the threshold. When Yuan Xi saw it, she shook her head and said:

"Besides, what can I do in broad daylight?"

Mrs. Du bit her lip, "The last time was during the day, but the result was Mr."

Yuan Xi had no choice but to say: "That's all, you go ahead."

When Mrs. Du heard this, she ran away as if she had received an amnesty.

Yuan Xi shook his head, thinking that he didn't resist much in bed, but he was strictly guarded against it on weekdays, but on the contrary, it was more interesting.

Cai Zhaoji was talking to Cai Zhenji in the room when she heard footsteps. Cai Zhaoji got up and found that Yuan Xi was coming.

Cai Zhenji hurriedly got up to see her, feeling very sad. She thought that she had seen her sister these days, and her sisters often slept together. This made Cai Zhenji very happy, but what made her awkward was that she lived in Yuan Xi's inner house. What a thing!
Moreover, when the two slept alone, Cai Zhenji also knew that Cai Zhaoji had gone to accompany Yuan Xi, because in the dead of night, Cai Zhaoji's voice could always be faintly heard from the distant wing, making Cai Zhenji blush and heartbeat, and couldn't sleep all night.

But the worst thing didn't happen after all. Yuan Xi didn't force Cai Zhenji to do anything, and he rarely even saw Cai Zhenji, which made Cai Zhenji gradually feel relieved.

But it was very painful for her husband Yang Di. He came to talk to Yuan Xi several times and was allowed to visit Cai Zhenji in the inner house. However, Yang Di looked bad after each meeting.

It's normal to say that my wife lives in another man's house. Although they are sisters in name, reminiscing about old times, who knows what happened!
At first, Cai Zhenji felt that Yang Xi trusted her, and there should be no unhappiness between the two because of such a thing. After all, Cai Zhenji and Yang Xi had grown up together, so they still had the most basic trust. .

But soon Cai Zhenji discovered that things were not that simple. Yang Di looked at her more and more strangely, and her face became more and more ugly. Only then did she wake up, and when no one was there in private, she said to Yang Di: "I have nothing to do here." Husband, please don’t worry about anything that goes beyond the distance.”

Yang Di's face became even more ugly, "If you have a clear conscience, why do you need to explain to me?"

When Cai Zhenji heard this, her heart suddenly turned cold, "Even your husband doesn't believe me?"

"We've known each other for so many years, how have I ever hidden anything from my husband?"

Yang Di kept a straight face and muttered: "Who knows, people can change."

When Cai Zhenji heard this, she became angry, "Can't your husband see what's going on?"

"If your husband doesn't want me to stay here, why should you say goodbye to the envoy now and take me away with you?"

Yang Di was choked, and after a while he said: "You think I don't want to?"

"This fierce tiger is not willing to talk to me at all. If I go back like this, how will I be able to face you? If the Yang family offends the Yuan family because of me in the future, how can I stand on it?"

Cai Zhenji heard this and sneered: "So I stay here because my husband is unwilling to give up his future?"

"Husband, aren't you afraid that something will really happen?" After hearing this, Yang Di looked ugly and left without saying a word.

In fact, he could tell from his wife's demeanor that she did not have anything to do with Fierce Tiger.

Yang Xi is not stupid, and understands that Xiu Hu did this because he was afraid that he was demonstrating against himself. Cai Zhenji's current situation was just like the Kong family whose engagement was broken off by him.

If Yang Xi suspects Kong's innocence, then Cai Zhenji may also be innocent.

He cursed in his heart that Xiu Hu wanted to stand up for Kong and embarrass himself, just to take revenge on Yang for breaking the engagement!
He could understand the cause and effect. When Yuan Xi rescued Kong Rong's wife and daughter, they were riding in the same car together and was rumored by some meddlesome people. Faced with such rumors, the Yang family's first reaction was to give up on the Kong family, thus the two families broke off the engagement. .

Now that Yuan Xi is venting his anger on behalf of the Kong family, Yang Qi doesn't understand. Didn't it mean that Kong Rong and Yuan Xi have a bad relationship?

However, in order to be promoted, Yangdi took on this troublesome job without much consideration, driven by desire. In the end, he found that the situation was beyond his ability to control, and he was now in a dilemma.

He was sandwiched between Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and there were people on both sides that Yang Xi couldn't afford to offend, so now he could only rely on his wife's face to gain some sympathy and hope for himself.

Cai Zhenji was also helpless, so Yang Xi asked her to make some insinuations and persuade Yuan Xi through Cai Zhaoji, but how could things be so simple?
Then Yuan Xi didn't even see his face!

Just when Cai Zhenji was at her wits' end, she discovered that Yuan Xi had arrived. She was about to take the opportunity to give Yang Xi a few nice words when she heard Yuan Xi get straight to the point: "In a few days, I will leave Haixi and go to Guangling."

"It's not appropriate for Zhaoji to stay here, I'm going to send her back to Youzhou by sea."

When Cai Zhenji heard this, she was very anxious and said, "That"

Yuan Xi looked at her with a half-smile, "Why, madam, you want to stay?"

Cai Zhenji's face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly said: "Master, please stop teasing me."

"Young master also knows my concubine's difficulties, husband, he"

Yuan Xi interrupted her, "I understand everything."

"I will ask him to take you back now, and you and your wife can go back to Langya together."

Cai Zhenji stood blankly, "Then what are you talking about during this trip?"

Yuan Xi said: "Let your husband take the lead, and I will give Donghai to Xiansi."

"As for whether he sends troops or not, I don't care too much."

"In this case, Yang Langzhong will be able to return to his life, right?"

Cai Zhenji was surprised and happy after hearing this. She quickly bowed and saluted. Yuan Xi called a carriage and asked Cai Zhenji to pack her things and leave.

Cai Zhenji knew that this was a farewell, and she didn't know whether she would be able to see Cai Zhaoji again in the future. The two sisters talked for a long time before they said goodbye in tears. Cai Zhenji got on the carriage, waved to Cai Zhaoji frequently, and finally the carriage left the house and disappeared.

Cai Zhaoji stood at the door for a long time, then came back and said to Yuan Xi: "I am leaving too, husband, please take care of yourself."

Yuan Xiqi asked: "Do you know what I want to do?"

Cai Zhaoji sighed, "If you send them all away, Guangling will definitely be in danger next."

"I'm not like Mrs. Lu. Fighting will only drag down my husband. It's better to go back to Jicheng as soon as possible."

When Yuan Xi saw that Cai Zhaoji understood things clearly and acted neatly, he sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't worry, I will return to Youzhou as soon as the battle is over."

Yang Xi met Cai Zhenji and couldn't believe her ears when she heard what she told her.

After staying in Haixi for a few months and doing nothing, things turned out so smoothly?
His heart skipped a beat, and he hid a trace of suspicion in his eyes as he stared at Cai Zhenji's face, as if he wanted to see something from it.

Cai Zhenji noticed it and said unhappily: "My husband is still doubting me?"

"Would you like me, husband, to talk to Yuan Shijun in person?"

Thinking of Yuan Xi's vicious reputation, Yang Qin said with a smile: "Where, Madam did a great job this time, let's set off on the road right away."

He couldn't help comforting himself. After all, Yuan Tan had already occupied the East China Sea. Even if the fierce tiger was unwilling, what else could he do?
Isn't that fierce tiger borrowing the donkey from Poxia just to save the face of Sister Cai Zhenji?

So he didn't delay, and immediately took Cai Zhenji back to Langya.

But Yang Xi didn't know that the reason why Yuan Xi did this was just to temporarily stop Yuan Tan from acting rashly.

After all, in the next Xuzhou, if one less force intervenes, or in other words, one less force intervenes in time, it will have a profound impact on the future division of the territory.
