Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 122

Ye Xizhao asked him with a smile: "Are you going or not?"

"Go." Yu Shaoheng took her hand, just wondering, "Why did you put things by the lotus?"

"Just finished." Ye Xizhao apologized a little, "Why don't I ask the maid to get it back?"

"No need." Yu Shaoheng smiled, "So you prepared it yourself?"

Ye Xizhao nodded, "Well, don't say I'm perfunctory."

The husband and wife talked all the way, strolled to the bank of the lotus, and walked upstairs slowly.

Zhilan waited at the stairs, and when the two reached the upstairs hall, she left with a smile.

As Ye Xizhao walked into the East Chamber, Yu Shaoheng stopped in his tracks.

There are three paintings hanging on the wall, and the people in the paintings are him and sister Xin.The first one is in the hall of the main room, he is holding sister Xin, and the father and daughter look at each other with a smile; the second one is in the bedroom of the main room, sister Xin is playing, and he is leaning on the pillow to read; the third is It was Sister Xin who was soundly asleep, and he leaned on his elbow to look at his daughter.

Before this, he himself had no way of knowing how gentle and comfortable he was when facing his daughter.

Naturally, this is thanks to her wife.

Yu Shaoheng's smile slowly spread, "It's hard for you. When did you draw it? I don't even know."

"Where do you still care about what I do every day?" Ye Xizhao joked, and then asked, "How do you feel?"

"It couldn't be better." Yu Shaoheng bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "How many years later, I can still see the joy of today."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said: "I really can't think of anything to give you. I occasionally try to draw you coaxing sister Xin on weekdays, and that's why I thought about it as a birthday present."

Rare treasures, famous swords and horses, fine clothes and fine wines, these things are the same whether he likes them or not, they have everything that one expects to find, and they can even be given to others at will.

"This gift has been delivered to my heart." Yu Shaoheng hugged her and walked to a painting, "It would be great if it was like this every year from now on."

"That's nothing new." Ye Xizhao said with a smile, "I'll give you the painting as usual. I'll think about something else next year."

The two people here are warm and affectionate, but the atmosphere between the third wife and Yu Shaohuan is quite different.

That night, the third lady was sitting at the table and copying "The Female Ring", while Ding Xiang was rubbing the ink beside her.On the way, the third wife ordered someone to invite Yu Shaohuan over.

Yu Shaohuan, who was in the study, finished his work before slowly entering the room, sat on the teacher's chair, drank a few sips of tea, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

The third lady didn't stop writing in her hand, and said without raising her head: "You and I have been married for a long time, but I have never had children. In your opinion, what should we do about this matter?" The voice paused, He added, "I can't help it either—on the day Miss Xin caught Zhou, several people politely asked me what was going on."

Zhang's mother and Liu's mother were ashamed.This is a private conversation between husband and wife, right?Why did the third lady say it in front of the servants?

Yu Shaohuan almost laughed, and looked at the third lady twice more, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

The third lady was still calm, "I just don't want to hear that kind of talk all the time. It's not that I'm anxious, but it's annoying. You have to give me an explanation."

"Anyone else talks to you like this, just let her talk to me."

"..." The third lady pursed her lips into a smile, and after a moment of silence, she glanced at Zhang's mother and Liu's mother, "Go down."

Two people called it quits.

The third lady glanced at Ding Xiang again, "Don't be lazy." Then she spoke to Yu Shaohuan again, "Third Master, you and I should clarify some things, right?"

Yu Shaohuan said, "Say it."

"I just want to make it clear - do you already have someone you like, and you don't care who you marry, and you only plan for the Hou's family, or is it just that I don't fit your eyes, and you don't plan to marry me?" Live in peace with me."

There was a smile in Yu Shaohuan's eyes, and there was a bit of sarcasm, "I am the one who doesn't want to live in peace? If you did something stupid to your second brother and second sister-in-law, I won't care about it, but you put your hand into the eldest brother's room, you want to move It is the foundation of the Hou Mansion."

The third lady glanced at him, "I'm wrong, the Guan family admits this, and I admit it too, but why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you stop it in time?"

"I'm not a secret guard, and I didn't know what you were doing in time." Yu Shaohuan looked at Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang noticed his gaze, lowered her head, her hands were trembling.

"You managed to get your father-in-law's seal last year, and I only found out when the letter was on the way. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to send the letter to Fang Fei six hundred miles away." When Yu Shaohuan mentioned this, he lost interest, "You I was good at making claims, and I wanted to ask questions at first, but after the matter came to fruition, I didn’t bother to mention it. Besides, you can’t achieve anything later, so what’s the point of me not mentioning it.”

After hearing this, the third lady's expression changed slightly, and then she also glanced at Ding Xiang, smiling sarcasticly, "Why are you so stupid? Why didn't you tell the third master in time? You told the third master in time, and the third master might have accepted you at that time .”

A smile appeared on Yu Shaohuan's lips, and he drank his tea with his eyes closed.

Ding Xiang didn't dare to speak, and knelt down on the ground.

The third lady asked again: "Ding Xiang is also accepted, can the third master give me an explanation - in the eyes of the third master, is this girl outstanding in appearance, or does she have other merits?"

"You should ask her."

The third lady watched Ding Xiang, "Did you hear that? The third master asked me to ask you."

Ding Xiang hung her head and said nothing.She understood that it would be better if she didn't say a word, as long as she spoke, the chances would be even worse in the future.

Both of them refused to be honest, so the third lady could only ask Ding Xiang: "Do you think that the real master in the third room is the third master, and if you make the third master happy, he can give you face? Do you think that by virtue of You have been with me for so many years, and with the favor of the third master, being a housemate means you can become a concubine? Do you think that no matter what, I have to take care of my face and will not look for you on weekdays? Trouble?"

Every sentence reached Ding Xiang's heart.Ding Xiang knew that the third lady was annoyed when she learned that she was tricked by the third master, and now she felt the same way.

After the initial anger of the third lady, she still fulfilled the third master's wish, and she became the third master's roommate.She was very happy at that time, thinking that her plan was about to become a reality.In the future, she only needs to please the third wife and the third master on both sides as always, and she will be able to find a place to stay in the Hou's mansion.

She didn't want to be a servant all her life, and she didn't want to be betrothed to a servant like other maids at an old age, and the child she gave birth would still be a servant in the future.

Her background predestined that she would not be able to get rich clothes and fine food like the three wives in the mansion. The only way to change her situation was to be a concubine. After she became pregnant, she was raised as a concubine. Landing.When she followed the third wife to the Hou's mansion as a companion, many servants in the Guan's mansion guessed whether she would fall into the eyes of the third master of the Hou's mansion because of her outstanding appearance among the maids, and thus To break the situation where the three brothers in the Hou family only have their regular wives around them.Since then, she has had this thought.

After the third master and the third wife got married, they have not been considered close.The third master and the third wife spoke softly, but there was always a sense of alienation.On the contrary, when I asked her about some things, she had a pleasant face...

She was so naive. When she told the third lady everything about the third wife, and when she and the third master slowly talked casually, she actually decided that the third master had other thoughts about her.Last time during the Lantern Festival, when the third master had a quarrel with her, although she felt a little abnormal, she felt that this was a chance to get her wish...

Who would have expected that now he has become a tool used by the couple as a punching bag.

All extravagant hopes have become a mirror image.No matter how beautiful the situation imagined in the past, it can only keep an illusory shadow in my heart.

Seeing that Ding Xiang was silent for a while and refused to speak, the third lady smiled, "Let me tell you the truth, if the third master chooses someone to come in as a good concubine, I will be kind. Only you, a seller who seeks glory, can't do it. I will forgive you." No one like you." Then he raised his hand and made a gesture, "Get up and continue grinding ink."

Yu Shaohuan looked like he stayed out of the matter.

The third lady looked at him, and said: "If the third master is really tired of looking at me, you can divorce me - who told me that my natal family is not as powerful as Lord Hou, so I have nothing to say if you divorce me Say, besides, it's not like you haven't done such things. If the third master still has the heart to live with me, then think about the matter of heirs. There are three things that are unfilial and have no descendants. Others will not say the third master, but they will poke my spine If you really have to, I can help you choose a concubine room and spread the branches and leaves for you. There is only one section—Lilac is not good, I would rather die than let her succeed and dangle in front of my eyes for a lifetime."

"You are doing well now, why did you come here after I divorced?" Yu Shaohuan looked at the third wife, and said calmly, "It is not feasible to take a concubine."

This correct answer surprised the third lady.

"You finish what your mother-in-law told you, and there will be no more troubles. We will live on as usual." Yu Shaohuan put down the teacup and glanced at Lilac, "The servant is ignorant, so you just send it out, why bother watching her get angry all day long."

The third lady smiled, "I don't dare. What if this girl, after intercourse with you, misbehaves and doesn't take the medicine, and has your flesh and blood, and is let out, wouldn't it make the Houfu look bad?" After a pause, he said again, "I even prepared the medicine for her."

Yu Shaohuan looked at the third lady whose words and deeds were different from those in the past. After watching for a long while, he couldn't hold back a smile on his lips.His wife, she doesn't know whether she is broken and broken, or she has such a temperament, and she is open and honest with him about everything at the moment.

He stood up, "Impossible. I'm going back to the study."

impossible?The third lady's eyes flickered slightly, and she called Zhang's mother, and went to the dormitory to talk: "During the days when the third master and Ding Xiang were in the same room, go and ask who served."

Zhang's mother understood, and then she was surprised, "You never asked before?"
