Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 16

These stern accusations fell on Ye Xihan's ears, even if the person who spoke was his beloved sister, he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.He suddenly got up and came to Ye Xizhao, "Are we stupid? Are we villains? How can you say such a thing!"

Ye Xizhao responded with a sneer.She just understands that some fears will not dissipate over time, but will become more and more serious, forcing people to face the facts and pay the price.She had a disagreement with Yu Shaoheng before, which made her father and brother worry that Yu Shaoheng would divorce his wife at any time, which made the Prime Minister's family lose face in the end—after all, not everyone knows Yu Shaoheng.Even though he is now the minister of the Ministry of War, in the eyes of the courtiers, he is still the famous general of the generation who gallops on the battlefield and kills decisively and ruthlessly.

Ye Xihan tried his best to calm his mind, and explained his plan: "It's true that being in the imperial court is very beautiful, but living in seclusion in the countryside is also a pleasure. I have been doing business in private for the past two years, and I have earned some money. I will still have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Furthermore, Hong Xiao's marriage is just a formality, if we return to our hometown, he will also resign and go to meet up, this way, you can still fulfill your long-cherished wish..."

Before he finished speaking, with a slap, a slap fell heavily on his face.

Ye Xizhao really disliked his absurd idea, and even more disliked the words related to Tang Hongxiao. Under the rage, he couldn't restrain his emotions.

Ye Xihan was stunned by the beating, and looked at Ye Xizhao in astonishment, "You hit me? You hit your brother? You come from a famous family, you are a lady, how can you beat people so often?"

Ye Xizhao gritted out a sentence between his white teeth: "I just want to wake you up!"

"...." Ye Xihan raised his hand to touch his hot cheek, but he still hadn't recovered from the shock.

Ye Xizhao said in a deep voice: "Even if you are stubborn, it has nothing to do with me. Unless Lord Hou divorces his wife, I will not leave him. Even if Lord Hou divorces me, I will only go to Qingdenggu Buddha, I will never commit myself to anyone again. Who told you that I miss Tang Hongxiao? He is self-righteous, but why do you listen and believe? Have you ever asked my heart?"

"But..." Ye Xihan pondered for a moment, "Every time Mother Wu goes back, I ask about your situation, she always sighs, saying that you are depressed and your body is getting weaker and weaker, isn't it because of unwillingness? "

"Mother Wu has already been dismissed by me. The reason is that she sowed tales out of nothing. Didn't I tell you?" Ye Xizhao tried to calm down his tone, knowing that it was useless to talk with swords and swords, so he turned and sat down, "You have been deceived by others. You don't believe what mother said, and you are full of dissatisfaction with Lord Hou. It is reasonable to have absurd thoughts. Don't rush to tell me your plan, first listen to me and talk about my affairs. "

"Alright." Ye Xihan sat down and sipped his tea.

Ye Xizhao patiently analyzed for him: "If Lord Hou just wants to embarrass the Prime Minister's family, if he neglects me, he can take a concubine after marriage. He has everything, especially the woman who loves him. But he never I've thought about this. If Master Hou hadn't treated me kindly and tried my best to deal with it, how could Mrs. Tai tolerate my ignorance everywhere, and how could I live a peaceful and stable life? , what will happen? Have you ever thought about this?"

Ye Xihan was touched by some words.It is quite normal for a man to take concubines, especially for dignitaries in court.But Yu Shaoheng has kept himself clean for so long.I heard from Mama Wu that Yu Shaoheng often rests by the lotus alone.Before I thought about it, I thought it was him who neglected his wife in every possible way, but now that I think about it again, it is different—I would rather live alone than take a concubine, and not let anyone disturb the quietness of my wife. This...is not something ordinary people can do of.

Ye Xizhao continued: "I used to be the same as you. I was ignorant and never saw the good conduct of Lord Hou. It was only recently that I repented and made up my mind to change my past. Afterwards, I realized that there were servants with ulterior motives around me." Immediately, she will After talking about Mama Wu and Fei Cui being bought by Tang Hongxiao, she finally said, "It is because of such servants who provoke right and wrong that you misunderstood Master Hou more and more. I think my mother told you about these things too. , it’s just that you don’t want to believe it, I told you at this moment, you should believe it, right?”

Ye Xihan said with some lack of confidence: "This matter... is it justifiable, right? Hong Xiao is indeed concerned about your situation in every possible way."

Ye Xizhao asked back: "Even if he cared about it with good intentions, why do you need to let the servants turn black and white, and make your misunderstanding of Lord Hou deepen, and even go to the point of whimsy? Did you know that he did these tricks secretly? Will you?"

"..."

Ye Xizhao couldn't tell Ye Xihan about the words about repaying kindness in the previous life, so he could only express his thoughts and attitudes again: "My Lord and I owe him a debt, and I will make up for it with my whole life. Father and you are for I, too, should clear up my previous suspicions with Master Hou, and stop having other thoughts. If you are stubborn, then even if you resign and return to your hometown, I will still choose to stay with Master Hou. Besides, you don’t even think about it, are you My relatives, how could Master Hou make things difficult for you? He used your crimes as a threat to marry me. If something happened to you, what good would it do him? Why can’t you even understand this! "

Ye Xihan looked at Ye Xizhao in confusion, "These are all true? Are they all from your heart?"

Ye Xizhao nodded solemnly, "There is absolutely no falsehood. After returning home, you can tell your parents what you said. If you can't believe it right now, you might as well calm down and wait and see. If you want to separate me and Lord Hou again, don't blame me." I will break my friendship with you!"

Ye Xihan was taken aback by such words as kindness and righteousness, and was stunned.

"Besides," Ye Xizhao thought of a very important thing, "If I didn't even want to tell you about your crime, then don't tell anyone, especially Tang Hongxiao. Don't tell Tang Hongxiao about things that are difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Brother, can you promise me?"

"At the beginning, I wouldn't tell anyone about that matter. But other things...you also know that he and I are like brothers."

Ye Xizhao sneered again, "Then, does this person who is more like a brother talk to you about everything?"

"This..." Ye Xihan tried his best to think back.

"Forget it, you go back first." Ye Xihan had a lot of things to digest and think about, and it was difficult to accept them all at the moment.Ye Xizhao knew that he should not be in a hurry, so he got up and said, "I won't keep you here, and someday you can think about these things clearly before you come to the Hou Mansion as a guest."

Ye Xihan was very dissatisfied with her wording, "What do you mean? If I don't understand, can't I come to the door?"

"That's natural. Didn't I tell you? If you act recklessly again, you and I will be bound!" Ye Xizhao coldly dropped this sentence and called Zhilan to see off the guests.

Ye Xihan walked away dejectedly.

Ye Xizhao frowned, he was really angry just now, and his stomach still hurts badly.

Faintly hearing Hsinchu and Ning'er talking and laughing, Ye Xizhao called Hsinchu to come in.

Hsinchu didn't wait for Ye Xizhao to ask, and said: "This servant has invited Ning'er to sit in the main room since yesterday. It seems that he is a man with no city mansion. He must have been instigated by the third lady, and he didn't want to come to the main room at first. Fang — just now, she pestered her servants to teach her how to make some pastry dishes, saying that the third lady has always lost her appetite in the past two days, so she wanted to make something new."

Ye Xizhao said with a smile: "Since she wants to learn, you just teach her. Even Zhilan and the cook are the same, just teach her the dishes they are good at."

Hsinchu's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded knowingly.

Before lunch, Ye Xizhao went to the study.

Yu Shaoheng saw that her expression was not good, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xizhao smiled wryly and didn't hide it from him, "My stomach hurts from being angry, but I'm fine now."

Yu Shaoheng got up, "Go back to your room and take a good rest after eating."

"It's here to treat Master Hou to dinner."

"Why bother, let the servants come to inform you." Yu Shaoheng held her hand, feeling slightly cold, and couldn't help but put it in his palm with pity, and refused to let go on the way back to the main room.

Ye Xizhao struggled a few times at first, but seeing that he had no intention of letting go, he had no choice but to let him go.He lowered his head slightly all the way, with embarrassment on his face.

During the dinner, Ye Xizhao talked about Ye Xihan, "I have tried my best to persuade and express my heart, I hope he can wipe out the old prejudice."

Yu Shaoheng only cared about one thing: "Your intention is—"

Ye Xizhao said calmly: "If the Marquis does not abandon her, I will not leave. Even if the Marquis divorces his wife, the concubine will not make any further plans. For the rest of my life, I will always be with the ancient Buddha and pray for the Marquis."

Yu Shaoheng stared at her, pursed his lips and smiled for a long time, "I was always afraid of you leaving, why did you say divorce?"

"Then, is Hou Ye willing to forgive the Xiangfu for all the wrongdoings before, and ease this confrontation?"

Yu Shaoheng pondered for a moment, "I will try my best."

This far-fetched answer made Ye Xizhao feel difficult, but he didn't know how to persuade him.After all, it was the Xiangfu who made trouble for him, but he never felt sorry for the Xiangfu.She lowered her head, gloomyly picking at the rice grains in the bowl.

"I never make things difficult for the Xiangfu. As for the situation of the Xiangfu, I can't control it. In the future, I will do my best." Yu Shaoheng said with a smile, "So, can you eat with peace of mind?"

Only then did Ye Xizhao smile, "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Yu Shaoheng's smile was gentle and endless, "The last thing a person should do is to not think about eating and drinking when he is depressed. Little fool."

Ye Xizhao accepted his good-natured teasing with a smile, "It's just an ordinary woman, how can she have the heart of Lord Marquis."

Yu Shaoheng served her a bowl of soup with his own hands, "I feel sick to my stomach, drink more soup."

"Yeah." Ye Xizhao accepted his kindness with a smile, and asked Ye Xihan what crime he committed back then, but felt that the atmosphere was rare and harmonious, so he endured it and never mentioned it.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the courtyard, mixed with the voices of Yu Shaohuan and the third wife.Judging from the tone, both of them were a little angry.

Yu Shaoheng turned cold, and raised his voice to ask the servant, his tone impatient: "What's the matter?"
