Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 100

When the third wife saw Jiang Shi, she euphemistically repeated Yu Shaohuan's words and actions in the past few days.

Mrs. Jiang pondered for a while, and said: "Last time when you came here, you asked many questions. I also thought about it carefully. The marriage must be agreed by your father and Lord Hou, so we female family members can come and go. Since my uncle said so, It’s even more certain.”

The third lady rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Do you need to say that? I have already thought of it."

"How can we guess the thoughts of those who are officials in the court?" Jiang advised, "No matter what, this is a good marriage after all. There are only three brothers in the Hou's mansion. Mrs. Tai is generous and magnanimous, as long as your houses don’t get into trouble, Mrs. Tai will not separate the second master and son-in-law, and your two families will be able to share the glory under the care of Lord Hou.”

"I understand these." The third lady said dejectedly, "What I don't understand is, what's on his mind? Does he already have someone in his heart, or does he think I'm not as good as that Song Xinyao?"

Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes and thought for a long time before she said: "In my opinion, he doesn't like you to be competitive. Don't forget that whatever he has in his hands is given to him by Mrs. Tai and Lord Hou. It was your mannerisms when you were the host of the middle feed that annoyed him."

"Then..." The third lady became more and more aggrieved, "Then he can tell me directly, what is going on in this situation!"

"Tell you clearly?" Mrs. Jiang poked the third lady's forehead with some resentment, "At that time, everyone in the Hou Mansion lived for the whole family, so my uncle didn't care about these trivial things with you, but he didn't Will you not take it to heart—now that Lord Hou is back, wouldn't my uncle just tell you clearly?"

The third lady only heard a sentence in her heart, "You are right, everyone in the Hou Mansion at that time was living for that family, but what about Ye Xizhao? She followed Lord Hou to Mu Mu Island, she was not too arrogant Already!"

Jiang's face turned cold when she heard the words, "That's your sister-in-law, but you call her by her first name?"

The third lady argued without confidence: "This, isn't this talking to you?"

Jiang shook her head helplessly, "How can you be so stupid! What can a woman rely on for the rest of her life? Naturally, it is the husband by her side. Whether you are willing or not, you have to follow his fate. I really don't care. Thinking about it, a good story in the eyes of the world, in your eyes, is actually an act of passion!" Speaking of this, he gave the third lady a look, "You don't know how to act with emotion, why should you care how my uncle treats you now?!"

"I..." The third lady spoke in embarrassment.Only then did I realize that I was indeed thinking about something wrong.

Mrs. Jiang laid out the truth earnestly: "Hou Ye is the only hope of Mrs. Tai, and he leaves Beijing alone. If I were Mrs. Tai, I am afraid that I will wash my face with tears every day, and I am full of hope that there will be a caring and steady If you go to serve Master Hou, how can you care about who presides over the Zhongfu. Even after your sister-in-law followed Lord Hou, didn’t Mrs. Tai also worry about getting sick? You remember, the foundation of the Hou Mansion is Master Hou, It's not the superficial things you value. You married into such a powerful family that values ​​love and righteousness, but you are not satisfied, and you have such and such thoughts, you are really..." After finishing speaking, he shook his head and sighed again, " I don't know what's going on, does my uncle's fate violate this rule? Song Xinyao was a dissatisfied person before..."

"Mom!" The third lady didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Even if I was wrong, you can't say that."

"I don't say that, how can you understand these things." Jiang said sternly, "In the future, I will ask Mrs. Tai for advice on everything. If I miss something, I will apologize to your sister-in-law. In short, your second sister-in-law is reserved and humble. You should learn how to behave with her more. After a while, my uncle will no longer neglect you." Then he took the hand of the third wife, "The married person is the most important thing about the children. .”

The third lady lowered her head slightly, her face flushed slightly, and then she remembered something, "Mother, Ye... when my sister-in-law just returned home, she was very weak," she paused for a while, looking a little embarrassed, "Also, redness appears on her bottom clothes from time to time... The maid in my room has a lot of troubles, so she told me after asking about it."

"Really?" Jiang Shi was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder, I said why she was so weak at the Hundred Days Banquet, and she had to find an excuse to rest from time to time."

"Really!" The third lady said seriously, "After some recuperation, she recovered. In your opinion, is it caused by postpartum hemorrhage? If so, can she continue to have children for Lord Hou in the future? I'm afraid Is it difficult?"

Jiang's expression froze, "What exactly do you want to say?"

The third lady looked innocent, "I don't want to say anything, I just tell you."

Jiang shi warned in a deep voice: "No matter what, there is Song Xinyao in front of you, and her old road is set for you. No matter what thoughts you hide, you should think about it. In case one day you end up being kicked out, Don't blame me for kicking you out too!"

The third lady was a little surprised, and then nodded.But in his heart he sighed endlessly: mother and father are really husband and wife, and they are obviously afraid of the Hou's mansion from the bottom of their bones.However, how do they know how much they have to do as the pillow wife of a concubine.

Song Xinyao...Thinking of that person, the third lady sneered in her heart, she is not that idiot.

On this day, Ye Xihan took the time to come to the Hou Mansion to see Sister Xin.

After taking his seat, he first asked, "Where is Lord Hou?"

Ye Xizhao was a little surprised, but he didn't hide it, "Master Hou went to meet the steward in the outer court. You don't treat him like you used to."

"We have fought wars together, we have been through life and death together, even if we have a lifelong friendship." Ye Xihan said with a smile, "Besides, I am the same as Xi Lang, and now I admire him from the bottom of my heart." Then he rubbed his face , "Naturally, I was half-dead from exhaustion during the extremely fast march on the way, and I also scolded him for being cold-blooded in my heart."

Ye Xizhao laughed, and then said: "If you follow others, you will inevitably be praised again and again, and there is a great possibility of becoming a titan—why follow Lord Hou?"

"What can others do?" Ye Xihan waved his hand, "I figured it out before I went to Sichuan - when the old Hou Ye passed away, the Hou Mansion was in turmoil in those few years, and the military exploits of the Hou Ye are the ones who really use their lives." Fighting with ingenuity, following him is the real battle!" Then he pointed to the side of the guide, "Look at the guy in southern Xinjiang, he has fought for so long in a battle, and if he wins a battle, he will try his best to ask for credit and reward him. Just desperately reduce the big thing to a small one, and put the blame on the generals under his command..." He twitched the corner of his mouth disdainfully, "Without Lord Hou, Xi Lang and I would have asked the emperor to give us tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we would never fight with that Wait for others."

Ye Xizhao was completely relieved, and called for someone to bring Sister Xin over.

As soon as Sister Xin saw Ye Xizhao, she leaned forward to look for him.

Ye Xizhao hugged Sister Xin in his arms, pointed at Ye Xihan, "This is uncle, do you remember? I just met two days ago."

Ye Xihan smiled and stretched out his arms, and shook Xin's little hand.His smile is a pure, happy, warm, elder-like smile.

The Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion successively added men, but these big men all prefer girls, it is really unreasonable to talk about it-obviously, they have understood since they got married that men are the ones who inherit the family business exist.

I don't want this kind of problem anymore.

Ye Xizhao forced himself to divert his thoughts, put Sister Xin on the big kang, and asked Ye Xihan about the affairs in the prime minister's mansion.

"Xi Qing's marriage has been delayed until now due to the ups and downs of the Prime Minister's house that year. Mother and your sister-in-law are making arrangements for her." Ye Xihan said about the things between his brothers and sisters, "Xi Lang is not young. Now, it’s time to get married and start a family. If you have a suitable candidate, remember to tell mother.”

"I've made a note of it." Ye Xizhao smiled, "It's just that the Hou Mansion is closed to thank guests now, and it will take a while before you can go out for a walk."

"That's good, and you don't have to worry about it." Ye Xihan glanced at her thoughtfully, "I always feel that you are a little different from the past, but I can't explain why."

Ye Xizhao just said: "You are overthinking."

Ye Xihan sat for a while, and because he still had something to do, he said his goodbyes and left.

At noon, when Yu Shaoheng came back for dinner, Ye Xizhao mentioned about Ye Xilang, "If you have a suitable family, just tell me, and I'll just tell my sister-in-law."

Yu Shaoheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Ye Xizhao smiled and asked, "What does this mean?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled and said, "You didn't take the matter of the third sibling to heart?" When he was on the island, he told her the reason for the marriage between the third and younger siblings.

"There are a lot of discord between sisters-in-law." Ye Xizhao said with a calm smile, "The family status will not be the most important hidden worry. It doesn't matter if there are some disputes in the inner house, life will not be boring."

"You can think about it." Yu Shaoheng laughed, and then said, "I'll see the situation about Xilang."

"It's enough to have your words."

After the meal, Sister Xin made a fuss, pointed out in the nurse's arms and wanted to go out, but when she couldn't get what she wanted, she simply started crying.

According to Ye Xizhao's mind, he wanted Sister Xin to sleep when she should, but Sister Xin refused to sleep and would rather force her.However, now she can no longer decide on Sister Xin's matter - Yu Shaoheng immediately ordered someone to carry Sister Xin to Dongci Room.

Sister Xin was placed next to Yu Shaoheng, her crying gradually subsided, but she still looked at the door tearfully.

Yu Shaoheng looked very distressed, raised his hand to wipe away tears for Sister Xin, shook her little hand, then scratched her palm, and said softly: "What's good outside? It's windy today, and I'll go out tomorrow."

Sister Xin stretched her eyebrows and looked at Yu Shaoheng pitifully.

Yu Shaoheng scratched her palm again.

A smile appeared on Sister Xin's lips, she clenched her hands into fists, and hid aside.

Yu Shaoheng grabbed her little hand.

Sister Xin laughed and turned sideways to dodge.

Immediately, Yu Shaoheng scratched the soles of Sister Xin's feet.

Sister Xin couldn't stand the itch, she giggled loudly, first dodged, and finally she simply used her hands to protect her little feet.In this way, the original intention of going outside to play was thrown away.

The father and daughter played like this.

Ye Xizhao looked at his daughter's smiling face. Against the background of the goose yellow dress, it was as dazzling as the summer sun.And her husband's smile seemed to be the warm sunshine in March, and that warmth touched people from the bottom of their hearts.

At times like this, she would always sit aside, with a smile on her face, looking at the big and small who were connected with her blood.

Thousands of prosperity, but this scene of warmth.

In the evening of this day, Ye Xizhao heard a message from the mouth of the second wife: the officials came forward to advise and assign the position of prime minister as left minister and right minister. If the emperor agrees, then Ye Shuxuan will be divided.

What Ye Xizhao is not sure is whether this is the emperor's intention or some officials' intention.If it's the former, then the emperor has already started to be afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the Marquis Mansion; if it's the latter, then it doesn't matter.The turmoil in the court has not really ended, and it is normal for the structure to be adjusted due to the integration of some young and promising people.

As for the outcome of this matter, she hoped that it would be successful.No matter what it is, it is not a bad thing to reduce the emperor's fear of her husband's family and her mother's family.The only worry is that my father is unwilling to accept this result.

When going to Mrs. Tai's room to say hello, Ye Xizhao asked Yu Shaoheng: "Do you know the reason for this?"

"I know, it's fine." Yu Shaoheng gave her a comforting smile, "I'll talk to you in detail tonight."

Ye Xizhao felt a little relieved.

When they arrived at Mrs. Tai's room, as soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, they heard a burst of low crying.The faces of both of them changed slightly.
