Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 26

Ye Xizhao felt chills in his heart when he heard that, "Is this... destroying corpses and eradicating traces?"

Yu Shaoheng said: "All the bones and burial objects have disappeared. No matter who did it, it is nothing more than trying to make people think that the tomb has been stolen."

"Although it's too far-fetched, but others have no proof, so what?"

"That's exactly the reason." Yu Shaoheng smiled, "Although this matter has been going on for a long time, it is not too difficult to find out. After the emperor accidentally heard about this matter, he ordered someone to investigate it. I only care about these trivial matters. How could the emperor go against the queen mother's wishes, so he only found one wrong place of An Guogong, and ordered him to think behind closed doors."

Following his words, Ye Xizhao couldn't help but smile when he thought of the emperor making a fuss about going on tour in disguise.Most likely the empress dowager left the palace privately in the anger of the emperor, using this incident to reprimand her was purely to set her anger on the emperor.

Yu Shaoheng asked her: "Do you understand why I hate the Duke's Mansion?"

"Understood." Ye Xizhao connected the details he had heard and came to a conclusion, "Even if Duke An didn't know about such a thing, he would still be incapable of managing his family. Did An Guogong want her offspring to inherit the title? She has the virtue of losing a wife—sensible people will do their best to support the blood left by the main wife, and will not let An Guogong give birth to such a thought."

The analysis was thorough, and Yu Shaoheng smiled approvingly.

Ye Xizhao also talked about Feng Huixuan, "As for Miss Feng Wu, she has such a biological mother. If she doesn't keep it neatly, she will get some bad behavior. People in this family don't know it. It’s better to stay at arm’s length.”

"As long as you know."

"But..." Ye Xizhao looked at him in embarrassment, "The third younger brother and sister are not feeling well, and they seem to be happy to let Miss Feng Wu come to visit. As for me, I used to walk around with Miss Feng Wu because I didn't know where to go. More frequently—in the past few days, I have been unable to keep her out." On this matter, that was all she could tell him.

But Yu Shaoheng smiled, "Just to let you know, who made you alienate immediately?"

Ye Xizhao teased: "At this moment, I would say that I don't know who it is in the daytime, and I don't have a good face when I hear the word Guogongfu."

"That's because I'm afraid you will be led astray."

Ye Xizhao blinked. At first he wanted to refute, but then he gave up. He smiled embarrassingly, "I have self-knowledge. I didn't have a city in the past, so I don't know the seriousness. If I do something inappropriate in the future, I will remind you in time." Me, okay?"

Yu Shaoheng nodded, "It's the same as you and me, don't worry if you have something to say."

"Ah."

Yu Shaoheng turned around and turned off the lights, and when he turned back to lie down, he remembered something and discussed with her: "I have to go to the prime minister's mansion in a few days. Tomorrow, you can order someone to deliver a message to see when Ye Xiang is free."

Ye Xizhao could tell that he must have seen something inappropriate in the collection of poems, and he was overjoyed, "I wrote it down."

The two fell asleep peacefully and had nothing to say all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Xia He and the two little maids arrived at the main room.

Ye Xizhao asked Hsinchu to help the three people arrange their belongings, and brought Zhilan to pay their respects.

Mrs. Tai had dinner earlier than usual today, and she was sitting at the kang table looking through the account books.

After Ye Xizhao entered, Mrs. Tai asked her to sit on the side of the kang, and said with a smile: "Your second sibling has already been here, and they said they want to go to the greenhouse early. That child likes flowers and plants the most."

Ye Xizhao nodded with a smile, "Indeed." The second wife not only likes flowers and plants, but also likes to paint all kinds of famous flowers, which is well known in the capital.

Afterwards, Mrs. Tai talked about Feng Huixuan: "The Fifth Young Miss of An Guogong's Mansion is acquainted with you, I have known for a long time; I am also acquainted with your third younger sibling, but I only heard about it yesterday."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said, "Let's not talk about you, even my daughter-in-law only found out about it yesterday."

"Oh?" Mrs. Tai looked away from the account book, and looked at Ye Xizhao suspiciously, "Did you mention both of them?"

"Never mentioned it." Ye Xizhao frowned slightly, "Yesterday, I went to visit my third sibling with my second sibling. On the way, I met Miss Feng Wu. After asking, I realized that the two have known each other for a long time."

Mrs. Tai couldn't figure it out, "What can I hide from you? Is it a mystery, or is there another plan?"

Ye Xizhao could only pretend to be confused about this matter, "My daughter-in-law is stupid, and I can't think of a reason at this point."

"Ask people when you see them again, if you are vague—" Mrs. Tai's voice paused.

Ye Xizhao quickly answered, expressing his attitude: "My daughter-in-law has heard about the Feng family's right and wrong, and feels that it is inappropriate to associate with Miss Feng Wu again, and she will slowly stay away from her in the future."

Mrs. Tai guessed: "But what did Shao Heng tell you?"

Ye Xizhao replied: "It's also commonplace to gossip. Master Hou's unintentional words, my daughter-in-law felt terrified when she heard it."

Mrs. Tai's curiosity was aroused, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ye Xizhao recounted what he heard yesterday.

During the process of listening, Mrs. Tai's face changed a few times, and finally she sighed in a low voice, "The Hou's Mansion doesn't have much contact with the Duke's Mansion, and I'm just like you. It has been forgotten for a long time. I never imagined that such a family would have such right and wrong." Then he blamed Yu Shaoheng, "This child, I am not afraid to scare you. You are weak in body." But the voice was clearly joyful of.

Ye Xizhao responded with a grateful smile, "Mrs. Tai is too serious."

"It's fortunate that he told you this, otherwise, I would have no way of knowing." This sentence is because Mrs. Tai understands Yu Shaoheng's temperament too well.

Ye Xizhao naturally understood, and was still smiling, but felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, no matter how much Yu Shaoheng hated her, he would never say anything wrong about her in front of Mrs. Tai.If she hadn't told Mrs. Tai about this kind of thing, Mrs. Tai might not have learned from him for the rest of her life.His concern is that after Mrs. Tai heard this, would she think that birds of a feather flock together and people will be divided into groups, and she will be underestimated together.

Immediately, Ye Xizhao mentioned that he was going back to the prime minister's mansion in a day or two, and explained with some unease: "At first, there was no need for the daughter-in-law to follow, but the elder brother of the daughter-in-law is really out of place...."

"Understood, understood." Mrs. Tai smiled and waved her hands, "I'm too happy, you just go."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while before Ye Xizhao left and went back to the room.

She didn't rush to order someone to go back to Xiang's mansion to pass on the message, because of some intentions.

In the afternoon, when Ye Xizhao was leaning on the beauty's couch and chatting with Xia He, the maid in the third lady's room came and said that Feng Huixuan was in the third lady's room at the moment, and asked Ye Xizhao if she had time to entertain guests.

Ye Xizhao ordered: "Say I'm really busy today, let her come back another day."

At this time, the more they acted indifferently, the more anxious Feng Huixuan and the third wife became.In this way, many past life experiences will happen at an accelerated speed, which is what she really wants.

After hearing the servant girl's report, the third lady ordered her to retreat, and then said with a sneer: "Didn't you say that she promised well yesterday? Why did she change her mind at this time?"

Where did Feng Huixuan lose face like this in front of the third lady, and murmured: "It's inevitable that I will be stumbling by things."

"The lady who presides over the middle school in this mansion is Mrs. Tai. No one has been in her room since the morning. Tell me, what can happen to her?" The third lady smiled gloatingly, "I have been with her You said it, but you still don't believe it. Ye Xizhao is no longer what he used to be, and now he wants to continue pretending to be virtuous in front of Lord Hou, so why would he see you again."

"..."

The third lady sneered: "Don't even think about it. She has been busy all these days, so Master Hou no longer neglects her. But her life is still on thin ice, and she can't stand a little trouble. Master Hou used to dislike her all day long. My natal family even dislikes her when she has time to sit with you for half a day, but she refuses to get closer to her sister-in-law."

Feng Huixuan looked at the third lady in doubt.Yesterday, the Yu Shaoheng she saw didn't dislike Ye Xizhao at all, even...

"Why don't you even believe my words?" The third lady became impatient, "Then tell me, is her style of conversation now the same as before? Did she pretend to tell you something about honoring Mrs. Tai and serving her?" Master Hou's words?"

Feng Huixuan thought for a while and had no choice but to nod.

"Isn't this the end?" The third lady exhaled and urged eagerly, "I advise you to hurry up, tell her about that matter quickly, and ask her to help you, even if you kneel and kowtow, you must get her to agree. Now she just wants to please the Marquis, and she will always take into account the years of friendship with you. But after a long time, she will still remember that you are her close friend? Can't you see what she has done to me? ? Was she such a vicious person before? It's not too late, you have to hurry up!"

"...." The third lady spoke too fast and her tone was too strong, Feng Huixuan felt dizzy and couldn't digest it for a while.

"At this time, why are you still in a daze!?" The third lady pushed Feng Huixuan hard, "You should think about it quickly, how can I get her to agree to help you."

Feng Huixuan raised her hand and stroked her forehead, "It's...too urgent, but it's not good? Let me go back and discuss with my mother..."

"Then you go!" The third lady warned with a cold face, "If you leave today, I will not let you enter the Hou's mansion under the pretext of visiting me! Besides, Ye Xizhao and I If you come to me repeatedly, you can come to me once or twice, but what will she think three or four times?"

These words made Feng Huixuan feel uneasy.

The third lady's tone was even colder: "After I got married, don't let me say that you are the one who has a close personal relationship with you. Now you rush over to let Ye Xizhao know that we have known each other for a long time. Is there anyone like you?" ?! Have you secretly teamed up with Ye Xizhao to make me never have peace?!"

"No, no!" Feng Huixuan shook her head again and again, "Xinyao, why do you think so?"

"What to do, you can figure it out." The third lady lay down slowly, "What I just said is the truth, if you don't seize this opportunity today, don't blame me for not helping you anymore. I am also Hou Men Daughter-in-law, I have to live. I can't beat Ye Xizhao, can I admit defeat? Can I live a good life? Why bother to go through this muddy water."

Feng Huixuan knew how embarrassing her situation was now, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Let my maid go again, and just say that I have something to see."

The third lady smiled, "It's no wonder she meets you."

Just as she guessed, what the servant girl brought back was exactly the same as before.

Feng Huixuan gritted her teeth and became cruel.

The little maid said: "Ma'am, I heard that Miss Feng Wu came to the main room—she came here crying, looking very sad."

There was a smile in Ye Xizhao's eyes.People who were guests in the Hou Mansion came to see her crying regardless of their manners. Apart from that incident, she couldn't find any other reason for Feng Huixuan.As expected, the third lady lived up to her expectations, so Feng Huixuan was going to ask her for help today.

"Crying here, I have to disappear." Ye Xizhao smiled and got up, "Zhi Lan and Xia He are preparing refreshments, and Hsinchu will help me change my clothes."

The three servant girls all claimed to be.

When changing clothes, Ye Xizhao gave Hsinchu detailed instructions.

After hearing this, Hsinchu asked blankly, "Ma'am, this servant is stupid. What are you... what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I have my plan. After Miss Feng Wu arrives, just wait patiently outside. I'll let you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to send a message before you go." Ye Xizhao has a detailed plan and is eager to implement it. .But in the end, we still have to wait for Feng Huixuan to come and listen to her personally explain the purpose of coming, so that he can proceed step by step.

"The slaves obey."

Ye Xizhao took a seat in Xici's room, and took out the unfinished embroidery work a few days ago. After a few stitches, Feng Huixuan arrived.

"Huixuan, what's the matter?" Ye Xizhao hurriedly got up, went up to meet Feng Huixuan, and saw Feng Huixuan's red eyes and red nose.She was a little curious, how did this happen?Mustard oil, chili water, or is it really crying like this?

"Xi Zhao..." Feng Huixuan choked with sobs, "I...I..." As she spoke, she glanced at the maid serving in the room.

Ye Xizhao sent people away with a wave of his hand, turned around and sat down, pointed to the side, "Sit down, drink some water first, and then tell me..."

Feng Huixuan approached Ye Xizhao, knelt down straight, lowered her head and wept, "Xizhao, I'm here to beg you for help." There was endless sadness and helplessness in her voice.
