Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 104

The third lady immediately stood up when she heard the words, a little aggrieved and a little annoyed: "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. My sister-in-law should know what happened in the past two years. It's either the marquis's downfall, or the chaos of the army. How can the income be compared?" Past years? But sister-in-law, what you mean by your words clearly means that I embezzled the money for myself!"

Ye Xizhao smiled calmly, "That's what I mean, as long as you understand."

The third lady rolled her eyes and forced a smile, "Then sister-in-law, don't forget that I took these account books from you. The wife has only handled them for a few days, and she doesn't even bother to read them carefully."

I want to involve her too.Ye Xizhao couldn't help laughing, "I left in a hurry when I left the house, and I didn't have time to take care of the unfinished matters at hand. I just told Xia He to make another copy of the account book. Xia He is a caring person, please Yuanyang and the mother in charge in Mrs. Tai's room are on the sidelines urging people to finish transcribing. If you want to read it, I just tell Xia He to go to Yuanyang to get the account book back."

"..." The third lady was speechless.

Ye Xizhao took his seat leisurely, "I know that anyone who has lived in the mansion for a long time will think that I am ignorant of world affairs and incomprehensible in accounts. If I met such a person, I would definitely take advantage of the opportunity."

The third lady lost all her aura, "I, I won't, how dare..."

"I've already said, you just have to keep the money you're short of. To be honest, I'm not doing this to avoid discord with you in the future. I'm doing it for the sake of the third master. Mrs. Tai and Lord Hou know about this matter." , will do the same.”

The third lady's face turned blue and red, and she lowered her head.

Ye Xizhao took a sip of tea, and said the reason for calling her here: "I'm going to talk about Curry."

The third lady looked up.

"There are fewer utensils in the library, so I'd better return them as soon as possible. Those things all have some origins. When Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai want to find them, I can't explain them."

"That's the steward who manages the warehouse..."

Ye Xizhao suppressed his smile, and said in a calm voice: "Even if the steward's hands and feet are not clean, you changed them. Naturally, I want to talk to you. Within three days, I will return everything that is missing. If you want to If I pursue the steward, I have no choice but to hand him over to the steward and let him deal with it."

"This..." At this time, the third lady finally understood why Ye Xizhao didn't want to say anything to her before, and didn't interfere with her in anything.She is not Ye Xizhao's opponent at all, if Ye Xizhao really cares about her, it is invincible to win.Of this, she was sure.

After a moment of hesitation, she walked up to Ye Xizhao, bowed her knees, and said, "Sister-in-law, these are all because of my incompetence, and my inability to restrain the stewards under my command, that's why things like this happened. I... I'll go and ask carefully , and return the silver taels and utensils within three days."

He is a sensible person, and even the silver that he has embezzled privately has to be offered with both hands.That's the benefit of speaking with sensible people.Ye Xizhao also nodded and smiled, "Alright then, you can go."

Afterwards, Ye Xizhao called the three maids to him and arranged their future errands: Hsinchu was in charge of the warehouse, Zhilan took care of things in her room, and Xia He naturally helped her with the accounts.

The three big servant girls were all happy, and bowed their knees to say yes.

"Those who are in charge, depending on the situation in the future, it would be best if they can be used by me. If you don't know how to do it, you can do it again. Those who have been sent away by the third lady, get them back as soon as possible. There are many things in the mansion. I will slowly arrange a passable place for them." Errands." After Ye Xizhao said this, he got up and went out, "You have worked hard these two days, go back and rest."

The three servant girls followed behind Ye Xizhao, looking at each other in surprise.When did Madam deal with these matters so quickly and neatly? Most importantly, she kept her composure on matters that would arouse Madam's anger in their opinion, as if talking and laughing to solve the matter.

Afterwards, Ye Xizhao went to Mrs. Tai's room, entered the door, and saw Mrs. Tai made a gesture of silencing her.

Looking at the big kang, I saw sister Xin and Yu Shaoheng sleeping on the big kang.

On the right of Sister Xin is Yu Shaoheng, and on the left is Mrs. Tai, with a cute sleeping face, and a small hand is still gently held by Yu Shaoheng.

A brocade quilt was put on Yu Shaoheng, and there was a faint smile on his brows and lips.

In broad daylight, the father and daughter came to sleep in Mrs. Tai's room... Ye Xizhao laughed, but when he looked at Mrs. Tai, the old man's face was full of contentment and joy.

Indeed, for the elderly, the most satisfying and happiest thing is nothing more than being surrounded by children and grandchildren, in front of her, there is no city, and no worries.

Mrs. Tai pointed to the inside, and then went down to the ground.

Ye Xizhao stepped forward to serve, and went to the inner room with Mrs. Tai.

After Mrs. Tai took her seat in the inner room, she smiled and said: "Miss Xin only cared about playing during her afternoon nap, but she got tired after playing in my room for a while. Shao Heng's body probably still hasn't recovered, so he lay down for a while Sleeping too."

He didn't slow down, he only returned to his room in the middle of the night last night, and he tossed with her for a long time.Thinking of this, Ye Xizhao's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded with a smile on his face, "Miss Xin is like this, she always refuses to sleep obediently during her afternoon nap."

Mrs. Tai said again: "Have you checked all the accounts?"

"Well, I'm here to talk to you about this matter, and I'll officially take over in three days. Don't worry about it. "Since the third lady wants to honestly return all the owed things, she doesn't have to hold back put.

fine?It's okay, why wait until three days later to officially take over?Reconciliation only took a day and a half.Mrs. Tai naturally understood that her daughter-in-law didn't want to upset herself about those things, so she smiled and said: "That's good. There is only one section, you have to take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, mother."

In the evening, when the third lady went to say hello, her complexion was bleak and there was no way to hide it.When Mrs. Tai saw it, she knew it well, but she just pretended not to know anything, and she was still amiable, and she even gave a few words of advice.

Afterwards, the third lady fulfilled her promise and handed over everything owed to the mansion to Ye Xizhao three days later.

The reason why Ye Xizhao pursued the utensils in the library was because he knew that a vase and a one-foot-high Hetian jade sculpture were among those things that Xiao Xun lost to Yu Shaoheng back then.Mrs. Tai didn't send someone to check in the library, so she didn't know about it. If she knew, she would have been annoyed long ago.And she is the same as Mrs. Tai, no matter how magnanimous she is about matters related to Yu Shaoheng and Xiao Xun, they cannot be ignored - if these things are lost from the hands of the third wife to other places, how will Yu Shaoheng explain to Xiao Xun?
Afterwards, Ye Xizhao began to host Zhongfu, and in the eyes of the people in the house, there was no disturbance, and he gave the third wife enough face.

In the eyes of the third madam, she had no face left, and under the anger, she had been ill for a few days before going to greet the Tai madam as usual, and Ye Xizhao and the second madam were also polite and restrained a lot.

After the winter, the two medicated diet masters entered the Hou's mansion after Mrs. Tai made thousands of choices.For this reason, Qiao Chen specially came to the Hou's mansion, explained in detail with the two chefs, and drew up the recipe.From then on, Ye Xizhao began to take medicine daily, and in November, he felt that his body and energy were much better than before. Even Mrs. Tai always smiled and said that her complexion was rosy, and she was better than ever.

Hearing this, Ye Xizhao would occasionally take a closer look at himself in the mirror. Seeing that the person in the mirror had rosy cheeks and ruddy lips, he secretly sighed that Qiao Chen really had good medical skills, so naturally he never ignored Mrs. No matter how good the formula of the medicinal diet is, it cannot be effective so quickly without a skilled master. Madam Tai spent all her time trying to find those two masters.

When they are free, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will mention Fang Fei on the way to Beijing.Xiao Xun's subordinates had already picked him up, but they didn't rush on their way, saying that Fang Fei was not in good health, and they were worried that they would fall ill when they arrived at the Hou's residence.

Mrs. Tai, of course, puts Fang Fei's body first, nodded repeatedly, and said to Ye Xizhao: "When Fang Fei arrives, you can find her a place to live. If you have time, you can teach her yourself. If you don't have time, find someone for her. Familiar with the rules and etiquette of famous people."

"Mother, don't worry, I have ordered people to clean up the small east courtyard of the main room, and I have also selected the mother who is in charge of her room. If I don't have the time, I will ask Mr. Wei to come and teach her."

When Mr. Wei was mentioned, Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Okay. If Mr. Wei has no objection, please ask her to stay in the mansion. When our brother Hao and sister Xin are older, let her teach them their homework."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said, "Mother and I thought of going together."

Afterwards, Mrs. Tai talked about Yu Shaoyun's delivery date again, and said: "It should be the end of this month." She patted Ye Xizhao's hand again, "I just hope that she will go smoothly and not suffer as much as you."

Ye Xizhao said sincerely: "Yes, mother and child must be safe, and it would be great if they give birth to a little prince."

Because Yu Shaoyun practiced martial arts since she was a child, her physique is not as weak as that of an ordinary lady. Everyone believed that she would have a smooth childbirth, but it was not the case——

In mid-November, in the middle of the night, Zhong Liye received a notice from the eunuch: Yu Shaoyun was about to give birth.

Zhong Liye suddenly jumped off the dragon bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, shouted for someone to change clothes, and when he went out to Yu Shaoyun's bedroom, he said worriedly: "It's a few days earlier, did you have a fetal gas? Who the hell messed with her?! "

The empress was in a cold sweat and had no way of answering, so she had to remind politely: "The imperial concubine is about to give birth, the emperor should not mention those unlucky words."

Only then did Zhong Liye hold back his anger.When he arrived outside Yu Shaoyun's bedroom, a court lady reminded him not to enter the delivery room.He turned to the main hall, couldn't sit still, went outside the bedroom again, paced back and forth, and heard Yu Shaoyun's distressing cries of distress, his thick eyebrows seemed to be knotted, and there was no way to relieve it.

He had never been so nervous and flustered in his life.

For Yu Shaoyun inside and Zhong Liye outside, the time became extremely long.The world seems to have fallen into eternal night, and there will be no more dawn.

After waiting for nearly two hours, Zhong Liye couldn't stand it any longer, and started to enter the dormitory, "What's going on? Why is it taking so long?! What's going on?!" At this moment, someone ran out of the dormitory, Kneel before him.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is having a difficult labor, please make a decision—whether to protect the child or the imperial concubine."

Zhong Liye's body froze, his eyes darkened, and then he quickly made a decision——

He kicked the palace servants to the ground, "What are you talking about! Bao Guifei!" Afterwards, regardless of the palace servants kneeling down to stop her, he went straight into the delivery room.

After hearing the news of Yu Shaoyun, the queen mother got up, holding a rosary in her hand, chanting scriptures silently, praying that the royal family would have a dragon son.

Hearing that Zhong Liye broke into the delivery room regardless, the rosary in the Empress Dowager's hand almost fell off, and she asked in amazement: "What?!"

"Going back to the empress dowager, it's absolutely true, and the emperor said that he wants to protect the empress dowager."

The queen mother was speechless for a long while.If this hadn't happened, she really didn't know that he was really moved by Yu Shaoyun.Entering the delivery room and protecting adults, the former is taboo, while the latter is irrational.This will only happen when an emperor only cares about the safety of a woman.

But so what?

She said in a deep voice: "What do you want to protect the children and the adults? To ensure the safety of the mother and child for the Ai family! If something happens to the Ai family, the Ai family will let the related people not die well!"
