Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 135

The third lady thought about it, and felt that she was self-defeating this time. She thought the best time before, but it turned out to be the worst time.When setting out the meal, he ordered the servant girl: "Send all Miss Jing's clothing and jewelry to the lady's room." He looked at Yu Shaohuan again, "This matter should not be mentioned to others, so let's talk about it in detail with sister-in-law. Right? Sister-in-law can also know how to appease Miss Jing."

Yu Shaohuan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."

After the third lady was seated, she stood up again, "I'd better go see Miss Jing first, if she took what I said before, she might feel panicked."

There was a little smile in Yu Shaohuan's eyes, "It couldn't be better."

After dinner, Ye Xizhao ordered the nurse to take Miss Xin to the wing room, and then made the bed for Yu Shaoheng herself, and while helping him take off his coat, he said, "It's rare to come back to eat at noon, but this kind of thing happened...don't put In my heart, get a good night's sleep. I have to go to the third sibling's place to see what's going on, and I feel a little strange, the two of them usually just nod and exchange a few words."

"Go." Yu Shaoheng said so, but he held her in his arms, put his lips on her ears, and told her softly, "If there is such a thing in the future, just drive him away immediately, and let me deal with the aftermath. "

Needing her to directly face a wound in her heart that has never healed, just thinking about it is unbearable.

"Things that have been predicted a long time ago are nothing." Ye Xizhao stared at him with a smile.

She raised her pretty face slightly, her brows stretched out, her expression was calm, her eyes seemed to have been soaked and washed by the moonlight spring, her eyes were pure and cold.The woman who has walked with him all the way to the present, the wind and frost is like the rain that nourishes the flowers, which can only make her bloom more dazzling beauty, leaving only an amazing demeanor in this noisy world.

At the same time, Ye Xizhao was also watching her husband carefully.A series of battles, a series of deep love between father and daughter, and a series of prominent status and power over the world, did not make him complacent. Instead, he was once high-spirited, domineering and ruthless. Instead, he settled down and became the noble and elegant demeanor he is now. , The noble man in Chengfu Zizai's heart, his eyes are becoming more and more charming.

Ye Xizhao smiled and lowered his neck, kissed him lightly, "Stop, I'll come back and wake you up when the time comes."

"Okay." He replied vaguely, entangled her lips and teeth greedily for a moment, and then let her go.

When Ye Xizhao went out, it happened that the third wife came to meet her.

The third lady first asked Ye Xizhao to follow her to Jing Zhiran's residence. On the way, she personally told the ins and outs of what happened to Jing Zhiran, and said: "I said something that shouldn't be said, and I just repeated it. To appease, Miss Jing is a little bit at ease, and now I ask my sister-in-law to go to give her peace of mind."

Ye Xizhao nodded, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "Why did you say that?"

"..." The third lady was depressed and ashamed, she bowed her head and said nothing.

This made Ye Xizhao more and more sure of the wishes of the third lady, sighed silently, and ended the topic.

When I got outside the small courtyard, the third lady stopped, "I won't go in, and I hope my sister-in-law will help me to apologize to Miss Jing."

"I understand, don't worry."

Jing Zhiran was lying on the bed with a disconsolate expression. When he saw Ye Xizhao, his eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, do you know the ins and outs? I...I won't be caught just because of this, right?" ?” Before the words fell, mist had risen in his eyes.

how could be?Ye Xizhao smiled wryly in his heart.Unless the third wife took the opportunity to make the matter get out of hand - but that was impossible, Yu Shaohuan would not allow it, and Yu Shaoheng would not allow it.The Yu family and the Jing family were close friends in their ancestors, and they always kept in touch with each other based on the principle that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and they supported each other, but they did not know how to get married.This kind of thing is no less than a scandal, how could the Hou Mansion allow it; and to suppress this kind of thing, it is just a piece of cake for the Hou Mansion, it's just a little girl, naturally she can't think of this.

Ye Xizhao sat down and said softly, "Are you questioning Mrs. Tai, Lord Hou, or Lord Third?"

"I...I naturally don't question it, and I know that the third master only saved me for my safety...but the third wife..." Jing Zhiran pursed her lips. Yes, that's why Ye Xizhao is the only one who is willing to call sister-in-law in Hou Mansion.

"The third lady's intention is to wake you up. In the future, you must act rashly." Ye Xizhao took Jing Zhiran's hand and gave her a soothing and warm smile. I have ordered someone to wash it carefully and dry it quickly. I have also ordered someone to send a message to your house, saying that I will stay with you until dusk, and we will do needlework together in the afternoon. When you come home, it will be the same as when you came No two. Right now, you'd better rest and wait for Qiao Chen to prescribe you some side medicine, so as not to get sick when you go home."

After listening to this, Jing Zhiran was really relieved, but he realized that he was too irritable after all, so he lowered his head in shame, "My mother always wanted me to be like my sister-in-law and Fang Fei. What happened to me? Be more calm, and only then did you realize that it was a wise saying. It's all my fault, for causing trouble to my sister-in-law."

Ye Xizhao persuaded: "That's why I said you are still young, keep this lesson in mind, and don't suffer from this kind of loss again in the future."

"Well, I will definitely." After Jing Zhiran promised, he said again, "Sister-in-law, please help me to thank the third master. I am really grateful for his life-saving grace, but I can't repay it, and even, I can't be with him. Family members mention it—if it is mentioned, my mother will faint from anger."

Ye Xizhao patted her on the face with a smile, and said with a smile: "Just be careful in your words and deeds in the future. After all, if something happens to you or your family, the members of the Yu family will have to work hard, do you understand this truth? ?”

Jing Zhiran looked at Ye Xizhao honestly, "I understand, I was always foolish before today, but now I really understand."

"I believe." Ye Xizhao gave a trusting smile.With such an unexpected but painful lesson, no matter what kind of lady she is, she will restrain herself a lot in the future.Afterwards, he smiled apologetically, "If you have to go through such a big disturbance for Sister Xin, I really feel very uneasy."

"Sister-in-law, don't think so," Jing Zhiran said shyly, "If you change to a prudent person, how could such a thing happen... Hey, don't mention it, I will feel ashamed to mention it again. In the future, I will really use it For warning."

Ye Xizhao also changed the topic, and ordered the servant girl to act quickly, and worked hard to make Jing Zhiran return home without any abnormalities.

After Jing Zhiran returned to the mansion, Ye Xihan ordered someone to pass the message.

After Ye Xihan asked the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he understood that the two women belonged to the Xu family and his natal family.After thinking about it, he kept the two girls and didn't give them any titles. They just put them in the study as maids who served him closely.

This move did not refute Yu Shaoheng's face, nor did he take concubines casually as in the past, and it could also alert the Xu family at any time, which was very appropriate.

As for whether Ye Xihan and the Xu family had quarrels, Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao would not be concerned about it, the two of them lived on as usual.

Ye Xizhao originally thought that what Yu Shaoheng said about finding something for Xu Shi to do was nothing more than letting Xu Shi avoid those two women from seducing Ye Xihan every day, but later he realized that he had guessed wrong.

For a man who is now a powerful minister and a man who plays tricks, punishing a person with small means is already something he disdains.When punishing someone for Ye Xizhao's sake, nowadays, the method will be based on the inertia of being in the court - ruthless and decisive.

His punishment for Xu's family was to plunge her natal family into dire straits.

In the past, Xu's daring to contact the family members of officials, businessmen and merchants who wanted to cling to the glory of the Yongping Hou Mansion, and to accept bribes from those people was naturally influenced by her natal family.At the beginning, the Xu family just decided on the marriage for the sake of their friendship with Mrs. Xu. Naturally, they did not carefully consider the style of the Xu family.

And ever since Yu Shaoyun's mother gave birth to the world, Qin Anhuai, Zuo Chancellor Luo Yuanhua and their respective staffs have been looking for the faults of people related to Yu Shaoheng everywhere, but some people don't know how to restrain themselves, and instead take the opportunity to make huge profits—these people are not recognized by Qin. , Luo Yidang stared at him, and Yu Shaoheng, who didn't rub the sand in his eyes, would not let him off lightly.

Naturally, it is impossible for Yu Shaoheng to help hostile people suppress his connections. He will follow a rule that occasionally occurs in the struggle of powerful officials-in addition to attacking the opponent, he will also sacrifice some people himself.However, he turned this situation of sacrificing some people into a process of eradicating hidden dangers of his own power.

Therefore, while echoing the emperor's will to punish corrupt officials, he and Ye Shuxuan carefully weighed and targeted Luo Yuanhua's second brother, Qin Anhuai's in-laws and several staff members.

In terms of his own power, Yu Shaoheng was blunt to Ye Xizhao: the first thing he wanted to sacrifice was the third wife's family. Yu Gong had a decent confession to the emperor, and Yu Shaoheng would make the third wife free from greed Nian, live with Yu Shaohuan wholeheartedly.In fact, he is also a very suspicious person, and he can't completely trust the third wife just because he changed his mind within a year, so he can't treat them as a family, let alone be lenient.

But what neither Yu Shaoheng nor Ye Shuxuan expected was that the Xu family had repeatedly challenged their limits and repeatedly accepted bribes.And Xu's plan to send the two women to Yu Shaoheng's room has stepped on the limit of his Marquis Yongping.That being the case, why do you need to be merciful, you just need to ask the Prime Minister to separate the relationship.

Ye Xizhao never expected that after Yu Shaoheng spared no effort to use the Guan family for the first time, he would also be thinking about it now.Thinking of the Xu family who was eventually sacrificed by him and his father, I was most worried: "After all, they are in-laws. Can you ensure that it will not affect the Xiangfu and Houfu?"

Yu Shaoheng explained: "If Qin Anhuai's and Luo Yuanhua's close relatives and aides have nothing to do with me, my father-in-law and I will naturally not do this. The situation is evenly matched, and no one can stay out of it. The emperor can only punish those who have been impeached and warn us. After all, several people are guilty, but they are not guilty of death, and will not implicate their in-laws." If there is no flaw, if there is nothing wrong with the in-laws and party members, it will make the emperor even more jealous."

Ye Xizhao got the information he wanted to know, so he didn't say anything.

During the winter, she invited several envoys from the imperial hospital to come to the Hou's mansion, and when the Spring Festival approached, she began to take medicine every day.

Yu Shaoheng and Mrs. Tai thought that she was not in good health, and they both asked about it. She smiled quickly to comfort the mother and son, saying that the envoy of the Tai Hospital had a good prescription for health maintenance, and it did not conflict with the daily medicinal diet. , let her take it for a period of time.

Only then did Yu Shaoheng and Mrs. Tai feel relieved.

It was also during this period that something happened to Xu's family, their property was confiscated, and Xu's father was sent to prison for interrogation.Naturally, Luo Yuanhua's second brother, Qin Anhuai's in-laws and staff were also experienced with him.

And the family of the third wife, which Yu Shaoheng was sure no one would impeach and punish, unexpectedly had an accident during this period——

The parents of the third lady were obviously caused by a guilty conscience, and they became terrified birds. After a long time of worrying and fearing every day, they both fell ill in bed.

The third lady panicked, the calm and indifference that had been maintained for so long was gone.
