Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 27

"What is this for?" Ye Xizhao got up to help Feng Huixuan, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Feng Huixuan refused to get up, and cried more and more, "No... just listen to me first. The only thing I can count on is you, otherwise I will just commit suicide."

Ye Xizhao helped her a few more times, but Feng Huixuan still refused to get up, so she sat down, "Then tell me, what's the matter?"

Therefore, Feng Huixuan slowly said how life would be worse than death now that there is no way out.It was similar to what Ye Xizhao heard in his previous life, except that his tone and expression became more sad and desperate.

Ye Xizhao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that it's a pity that this person doesn't go to sing.It was only mentioned yesterday that the Duke's Mansion is going to use marriage to woo the powerful, but he can say that today—Mrs. An Guogong, or the Duke An's Mansion, probably already know and approve of this matter, and only wait for Feng Huixuan to use her to enter the Hou government.As for being sent to be a concubine in the home of an official who is over fifty years old, it is probably non-existent.

Taking a sip of tea, Ye Xizhao recalled what he said in his previous life, and repeated in a soft voice: "I'm heartbroken after hearing this, but how can I help you in the inner house?"

"I..." Feng Huixuan stammered, "After much deliberation, the only one who can save An Guogong's mansion and save me from the predicament is the Hou mansion."

Ye Xizhao pondered for a moment, "How do you say that?"

"Xizhao," Feng Huixuan walked up to Ye Xizhao on her knees, and raised her hand to grab her dress, "I would rather die than become the concubine of a person of that age, I just want a shelter. You... you Can you take me in?"

"what do you mean--"

"Can I have a place to live in the Hou's Mansion? Xizhao, if you can help me, I will be like a cow and a horse to repay you for the rest of my life. If not..." Feng Huixuan smiled miserably, "I have a place in my heart, and I can find a place to go.”

"Look at you, you are always looking for short-sightedness in what you say." Ye Xizhao reproached, and closed his eyes to think for a moment, "I understand what you mean, but you entered the Marquis Mansion... We have known each other for many years, but we will work together in the future... ...Besides, I have wronged you too much." It was a bit difficult for her to say these few words, and she had to try her best to suppress her true emotions in order to make her tone appear sincere.

Feng Huixuan stared tearfully, "But is there any other way out for me? I didn't want to embarrass you, but I just told the third lady about it. She said that because of the miscarriage, the third master was very angry. I can’t even see anyone, but I can’t wait anymore, maybe tomorrow my parents will ask someone to go to the official’s house to talk about it…”

This mind was spinning really fast - Ye Xizhao couldn't deny it and was thankful for this, at the moment this meant that Feng Huixuan was in a hurry to go to a dead end.Sighing, she said slowly: "Have you thought about it clearly? If you become the concubine of Lord Hou, there will be a difference between you and me, and the past love can only be kept in the bottom of my heart. You will open up for Lord Hou As for Sanye, I am the child's aunt. Even when you make me difficult, I will not indulge you."

Feng Huixuan said eagerly: "You are my savior, how could I offend you? I really have nowhere to go..."

"However, Lord Hou keeps himself clean, so it's not easy for him to agree to take a concubine." Ye Xizhao showed embarrassment, "I don't even dare to mention it to him..."

Feng Huixuan looked very worried.

Ye Xizhao raised his hand to support Feng Huixuan, "Get up first, let me think about it."

This time Feng Huixuan did not insist.

Ye Xizhao took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, called Hsinchu in for some hot tea, and finally winked, "You go."

Hsinchu understood, and hurried to Xiangfu after going out.

Ye Xizhao talked about the difficulties with Feng Huixuan again, and said the final conclusion: "If you want to get what you want, you can't take the usual path, and it's even more impossible to find someone to talk about it—this kind of person can't enter the palace at all. government."

Feng Huixuan looked at Ye Xizhao pitifully, "...So, I'm still dead?"

Ye Xizhao looked back sympathetically.

Feng Huixuan stood up, "Then, I'm going back, you take care of it."

Ye Xizhao stopped her, "Isn't this a bit embarrassing? It's not that I won't help you." He stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll discuss it with the maids. They have seen and heard things better than me. There are many, and my mind is quicker than mine, maybe I will come up with an expedient plan."

Feng Huixuan would not object.

Ye Xizhao went to the dormitory and called Zhilan into the room, the master and servant whispered for a while.After returning, he said annoyedly, "After thinking about it for a long time, there is no way to get on the table. What if your reputation is damaged before entering the Marquis's mansion?——But if you have nothing to do with Marquis' temperament , there is absolutely nothing we can do..."

"what do you mean……."

Ye Xizhao spoke slowly: "Tomorrow my mother is going to invite someone to enjoy the flowers and watch a play. It just so happens that Lord Hou has something important to talk to my father. Therefore, we will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together tomorrow--we only met with Mrs. Tai this morning." After talking about this matter, I will send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to say something later, and ask my mother to send a post to Anguo Gong's Mansion, and you will go with your mother tomorrow. It is easier for me to do things at my mother's house. I will try my best to arrange for you to meet Lord Hou, and I will help you around, and the rest is up to you."

After Feng Huixuan listened, she lowered her head and considered.

Ye Xizhao's tone became very helpless, "I really want to help you, but there is nothing I can do in the Hou's mansion. I can't end up being rejected or even abandoned by the Hou for helping you, right? The only ones I can rely on are my natal family .”

"In the Hou's Mansion... What if it's in the Hou's Mansion..." Feng Huixuan murmured.

"In the Hou's mansion?" Ye Xizhao's voice became lower and lower, "What will the Hou think of me if I have such a right and wrong in the Hou's mansion? I have already said that I don't want to offend the Hou Ye because of you. You want to live. Am I going to offend Lord Marquis for you and be left out? If you think the proposal is not feasible, then I really can't help you, you should find another way out. "

"No, no... that's not what I meant." Feng Huixuan got up and apologized, "I also don't want to make you so tired that Mr. Xiang and Madam worry..." In fact, she just said that just pretending, and she couldn't be more willing in her heart.If something happened between her and Yu Shaoheng in the prime minister's mansion, Ye Xiang would probably turn against Yu Shaoheng... She snickered in her heart, Ye Xizhao really wanted to help her, otherwise she would never have such a plan.

"You don't need to worry. No matter how unhappy they are, I'll just coax them for a while." Ye Xizhao looked at Feng Huixuan seriously, "It's not that you're trying to commit suicide, I really don't want to agree to this matter. Sigh—" After that Said, "That girl Zhilan knows that you and I love sisters, and she wants to help you from the bottom of my heart. She came up with the idea, so let her explain it to you in detail. Besides, don't mention it to anyone before it's done, Hou If the Lord hears the wind, you will not be able to fulfill your wish."

"I've made a note of it." Feng Huixuan saluted and thanked her.

Ye Xizhao called Zhilan to come in, and went to hide somewhere else by himself.

At dusk, Feng Huixuan said her goodbyes and left.Back home, he talked about today's events with Mrs. An Guogong in detail.Mrs. An Guogong was still a little uneasy, "Let's wait until tomorrow, when the post arrives, and then we can see that Ye Xizhao really wants to help you."

In the early morning of the next day, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion really sent a post.

Mrs. An Guogong was delighted at first, and then held Feng Huixuan's hand, "I understand what you're thinking. From the bottom of my heart, I really don't want you to follow my old path... It's not easy to climb step by step."

"How many of the first wives are happy? Just talk about the Hou Mansion, is Ye Xizhao's life easy? Is the life of the third wife easy? Whether it's a wife or a concubine, don't you have to rely on scheming to survive? With you By the way, I won't be unable to deal with Ye Xizhao, right?"

"It's good that you know it in your heart. Right now, I can't do anything about it. In the past, people who come and go are all people who follow the wind, and I can't help you find a decent marriage."

"Let's not talk about that." Feng Huixuan smiled, "Just prepare to go."

Last night Ye Xizhao talked about going to the prime minister's mansion today, and in the morning, the two of them set off there.

Ye Shuxuan promised to come back at noon yesterday, but he didn't want to be entangled in all kinds of troubles. He really couldn't go away, so he sent his servants back to spread the word, saying that if Yu Shaoheng has nothing to do, he will wait for him to return in the afternoon. If he can't wait, then he will go to the Marquis Mansion tomorrow. .

When Meng Shi and Ye Xizhao heard this, they were polite and smiled knowingly.

Yesterday, after hearing the news from Hsinchu, Mrs. Meng immediately ordered people to distribute the post, but she didn't know the reason.Today's invited people came one after another. After welcoming and sending them off, Mrs. Meng took the time to ask carefully.

Ye Xizhao explained the reason in detail.

Mrs. Meng pondered for a moment, then sneered, "Thinking about it now, I really suspect that it was Mrs. An Guogong's idea that Feng Huixuan became friends with you. You are her friend, but she covets Lord Marquis. Mrs. An Guogong must approve it. It's... it's time to teach them a lesson, and I'll help you arrange this."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xizhao laughed, "I knew it, Mother loves me the most."

Meng said with a smile: "What's the use of me loving you? It's only serious to let your mother-in-law love you so much."

Ye Xizhao smiled even sweeter, "Mother said so."

Feng Huixuan and a group of ladies and ladies wandered among the winding scenery in the back garden, listening to the chatter of people around them.

First, I heard that Ye Xihan took Yu Shaoheng to the study to drink again, and then I heard that the two of them became interested in drinking, so they went to the small building built on the lake in the east of the garden.

Feng Huixuan thought of Yu Shaoheng beside the lotus in the Hou Mansion, and she only went to see that place once from a distance under the guidance of the third lady.She thought that such an elegant proposal to go to the lake was probably Yu Shaoheng's idea.

After viewing the flowers and viewing the scenery until noon, the group was invited to the flower hall for dinner.After dinner, Feng Huixuan and her maid strolled to the back garden again.

Zhilan chased after her, holding a small teapot in her hand, "Fifth Miss came with the servants." She added in a low voice, "Master Hou is resting upstairs at this time, and the uncle was taken back to his room."

Feng Huixuan nodded.

When approaching the lake to the east, Zhilan stopped, poured all the water from the small teapot on Feng Huixuan's dress, took out a silver hairpin, squatted down, and scratched Feng Huixuan's skirt with all her strength.

Feng Huixuan's maid became anxious first, "Sister Zhilan, you are..."

Feng Huixuan winked and shook her head.

Zhilan stood up, "Okay, Miss Fifth, let's go. The servants have said everything they should have said yesterday. Whether it's good or bad, good or bad, it's all up to you. Madam will be here later."

Feng Huixuan slightly lowered her head and murmured thanks.

The servant girl wanted to accompany her, but Zhilan stopped her, "You are stupid, what are you going to do next? Go get a piece of clothing for your young lady."

"Oh." Seeing that her young lady agreed, the servant girl hurried back to get spare clothes.

Zhilan watched Feng Huixuan approaching the small building from a distance, showing a sneering smile, "Do you still want to work with my wife? You deserve it too!" On the way back, she met Yao's mother, and asked with a smile, "Master Hou and Master are talking quietly again. Where did you go?"

Yao's mother laughed and said: "Your Majesty is not drunk with a thousand cups, and the uncle can't drink but loves to drink. At this time, he went to Haitang Garden again. There is really no way." Pat Zhilan's hand, "Leave the rest to me, and you go to Missy to take care of her."

Zhilan smiled and said, "Okay, then mother will be hardworking."

In the main room, Mrs. Meng and Ye Xizhao invited Mrs. An Guogong over alone, and chatted about family affairs.

Of course Mrs. An Guo would not have imagined that she and her daughter would fall into a nightmare in a short time.
