Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 3

Meng Shi heard this, and smiled at Ye Xizhao: "Look, there is a loyal heart." Then she looked at Fei Cui, "Xinzhu is smart, you don't need to worry."

Ye Xizhao followed the trend and said, "Just go."

Jade showed embarrassment, "But..."

Ye Xizhao turned cold, "What? I can't stop you?"

"No, no..." Fei Cui hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Yes, it's because Madam Wu has some valuables in Madam Wu's room. After she left, the maidservant took care of her..."

Ye Xizhao's voice was even colder: "You don't need to worry about it, just go!"

Fei Cui just doesn't understand: in the past, as long as Mama Wu moved out, Madam Wu could make do with everything, but today it's quite different.But she didn't dare to hesitate any more. Madam has never been a soft-tempered person, and she really doesn't care about small things for those who value her, but once her temper flares up, she can be ruthless. Zhilan is the best example.

Ye Xizhao sent Mrs. Meng out of the Chuihua Gate, and on the way back he told Hsinchu: "If you have free time in the evening, call someone to check in the Emerald Room."

Hsinchu said yes, with doubts in his eyes and a hint of joy.She guessed that Jade probably would never come back.In this way, Madam can also keep her ears clean, lest she always hear Tang Hongxiao's big and small things, and thus be depressed.

When Yu Shaoheng entered the door, Ye Xizhao was sitting on the big kang by the window choosing soft fabrics, with a set of pajamas next to him.

Seeing him stepping in, he hurriedly got down to the ground.

"No." Yu Shaoheng waved his hand, went to change clothes, and when he came back, Ye Xizhao personally served hot tea.

While drinking tea, he watched her put away her clothes and fabrics, and asked in a rambling voice, "What is this for?"

Ye Xizhao smiled and said: "It's spring, Master Hou should change into some soft pajamas."

"you do?"

Ye Xizhao looked sideways at Yu Shaoheng, "Yes, Master Hou, just don't dislike him."

But that look seemed to be asking him: what else?

Yu Shaoheng calmly threw out a sentence: "I can't see it."

Ye Xizhao thought to himself: Is it because of the tit for tat in the past that I didn't realize that this guy's words are so choking.Then he smiled back and said apologetically, "It's no wonder Hou Ye said that. In the past, the concubine was too lazy and never fulfilled her duty."

Seeing the guilt in her bright eyes, Yu Shaoheng almost thought it was an illusion.Yesterday, she thought she was playing tricks - give a candy first, then give him a slap to make him angry, so she took revenge last time.But at this moment, he really didn't know what she was trying to do.How easy it is for her to make him angry, without such a battle.

Bow your head to others to regret such a thing, no matter how euphemistic your words are, it is also a difficult move for Ye Xizhao.After all, in these years of being proud and arrogant, even if you want to, it is difficult to completely let go of your figure in a short period of time.

Before Yu Shaoheng could speak again, Ye Xizhao changed the subject first, "It's getting late, and it's time to go to Mrs. Tai's room."

"En." Yu Shaoheng put down the teacup, got up and walked out the door.

On the way, Yu Shaoheng deliberately slowed down, keeping a distance of three or two steps away from her.What happened yesterday was because it had been too long since we had settled down together in the morning and evening, and I forgot to take care of her.

Because they went out a little earlier, the two arrived at Mrs. Tai's room, but the second and third rooms had not yet arrived.

Mrs. Tai looked at the couple and smiled, "Today, the kitchen has added two fresh dishes. I have ordered them to be delivered to your room later."

Yu Shaoheng said, "Alright."

Ye Xizhao echoed, "Thank you, Mrs. Tai."

While talking, Yu Shaoqian and his second wife came in.

Yu Shaoqian, like the third master Yu Shaohuan, was a concubine with a calm and introverted temperament. Now he is the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.

The second wife came from a scholarly family, dignified and graceful, always well-mannered in words and deeds, in every respect, she is a good match with Yu Shaoqian.

Several people sat for a while, but the third master and third wife had not arrived yet.

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "The two of them may be entangled in something, you should go back to your room first."

The four of them got up and said goodbye.

The two brothers walked in front, and the two sisters-in-law fell behind.

The evening wind blew in, causing a strand of hair to flutter on his cheek, itching.Ye Xizhao raised his hand and put the hair behind his ear.

Because of this, the second wife saw the coral bracelet on Ye Xizhao's wrist, and praised from the bottom of her heart: "This bracelet is really beautiful."

"Really?" Ye Xizhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the object on his wrist.

The second lady said: "Well, it matches my sister-in-law's headdress today." Then she asked softly, half-jokingly, "Could it be a gift from Lord Hou?"

Ye Xizhao asked softly, "What if it wasn't sent by Lord Hou?"

The second lady smiled and said, "If not, I'll ask Master Hou to find a better one and send it over." Although it was only a short two days, she was someone who had been there, and through every word and deed, she could tell that Ye Xizhao was sincere. To restore the relationship between husband and wife.Otherwise, with her temperament, she would not be able to say such words.

Ye Xizhao smiled, "This is fine."

Yu Shaoheng heard everything the two said in his heart, and his eyes darkened.

Back in the main room, Ye Xizhao ordered the maid to pass on the meal, and then went to change clothes, changing into a pomegranate red top and a pea green pleated skirt.

Yu Shaoheng turned around the screen, sent the servant girl to her side, held her wrist, rolled up the soft satin sleeves, and looked at the coral bracelet.

Every time he gave her a piece of jewelry, he would argue with her once.When she gave this object to her last year, she said: "What's so rare? Coral is just a cheap thing on the bottom of the sea."

She also sneered and said, "One day when I wear it, I must be so embarrassed that I have nothing to keep me close."

At this time, Yu Shaoheng thought of these things, and said a word without thinking: "Have you been short of money recently?"

The warmth of his palm was transmitted to his wrist, and the coldness of his words reached the bottom of his heart.

Of course Ye Xizhao also remembered every argument he had with him and every hurtful word he said, but this cannot be a reason to ignore it.

However, even though she expected him to be unhappy because of his memory, she still couldn't cope with such words.

She looked down.

Yu Shaoheng let go of her, turned and walked away.When he got to the screen, he turned his head and wanted to tell her that he had to go back to the lotus, but before speaking, he saw her looking at him, biting her lip, her eyes were disturbed, and she looked pitiful.

Just like that, he softened his heart, changed his mind, and unconsciously softened his voice: "Go eat."

"Master Hou," Ye Xizhao walked up to him and looked up at him, "I am..." She wanted to apologize, but was anxious to apologize, but the more impatient she became, the more she couldn't speak.

Yu Shaoheng was really worried that she would cry out in a hurry, but he couldn't see her crying the most, so he said to help her out, "Is this thing what you want?"

Ye Xizhao nodded.

"What did you say against your will in the past?"

"Yes."

Yu Shaoheng gave her a comforting smile, "That's good. It's fine."

When he was seated in the hall, Yu Shaoheng's personal servant came over. When he reached the door, he heard the servant whisper a few words, his expression became serious, and then he turned around and said, "I want to go out immediately and return home later."

Ye Xizhao suppressed his disappointment, walked over, and replied softly: "I will order someone to inform Mrs. Tai."

"Eat with peace of mind." Yu Shaoheng was talking, and he was already outside the door.

Ye Xizhao sighed sadly, looked at the sky, and was surprised to see that the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stepped down the steps, and chased after her, "Master Hou!"

Yu Shaoheng heard the eagerness in her voice, and looked back in surprise, "What?"

Ye Xizhao stood still in front of him, "Can Lord Hou come back sooner?"

"Tell me something?"

"Yes."

Yu Shaoheng pondered for a moment, "Do you want to go back to the prime minister's residence for a short stay, and prepare wedding gifts for distant relatives?" He added in his heart: Don't think I agree!
Ye Xizhao secretly smiled wryly, but pretended to be puzzled on his face: "Which one wants to get married? The concubine has never heard of it."

Yu Shaoheng suspected that she was pretending to be confused, but he didn't bother, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xizhao thought for a while, and replied perfunctorily: "Housework, I will talk about it in detail when Lord Hou comes back."

"As much as possible."

On this day in the previous life, it rained all night.On the second day, Ye Xizhao heard the servant girl talking in private, saying that Yu Shaoheng came back to the mansion late at night, was drenched all over, and had a fever and fell into a coma early in the morning.

At that time, Ye Xizhao felt that he was a person who was born and died on the battlefield, and that he was not seriously ill at all, and he really didn't care about his safety, so he never went to visit him.

Unexpectedly, this illness caused Yu Shaoheng's old illness to break out, and he was bedridden for a whole month before he could go to court as usual.

During that period, Ye Xizhao still did not step into the lotus, but ordered Mama Wu to send some nourishing food.

It was after that incident that Mrs. Tai in her previous life really felt chilled and disgusted with Ye Xizhao.Her son was seriously ill, but her daughter-in-law didn't show up. Who could tolerate it?

Thinking of these things, Ye Xizhao felt extremely ashamed.

This time, she only hoped that Yu Shaoheng could return home as soon as possible, avoid the storm in the middle of the night, and avoid the illness.

It's just hope, because he only said try his best.

Yu Shaoheng has always kept his word, and this kind of ambiguous words almost means that he can't do it, but he didn't refuse outright because of his feelings.

It was late at night, there was a chill in the wind, and the rain fell.

Ye Xizhao sat in front of the desk, flipping through a book absently.

Hsinchu walked in, "Ma'am, I have ordered two reliable maidservants to check the jadeite's belongings. I just went to the outer courtyard to ask, but Master Hou has not returned yet."

Ye Xizhao pondered for a moment, then stood up, "Follow me to the lotus."

It was so late, even if Yu Shaoheng came back at this moment, he would not come to the main room.And if she couldn't be sure that he was safe, she couldn't feel at ease.

Hsinchu found a thick cloak, put it on Ye Xizhao, took an oiled paper umbrella, and ordered the little maid to lead the way with a lamp.

The lotus bank was built behind the back garden. Ye Xizhao had never been there, but he heard that the living room was built on the lake. It was a small two-story building with an excellent view.At this moment, the night was dark, and the more and more dense raindrops blocked her sight, and she felt uneasy, no matter how good the scenery was, she couldn't appreciate it.

Pass through the pavilions and waterside pavilions, and arrive at the living room.

Yu Shaoheng hadn't come back yet.

Ye Xizhao ordered the servants to prepare clothes and hot water, and after they were seated, they turned their eyes around the room.The furniture is all simple and elegant, exuding restrained elegance and extravagance.

The increasingly heavy rain made Ye Xizhao inadvertently look at it, and walked towards the door under anxiety.

At this moment, I heard several servants outside calling "Master Hou" in unison.

Yu Shaoheng walked in with strides, his clothes were soaked through, and his expression was very bad.Seeing Ye Xizhao, her expression froze slightly, and then she said impatiently: "What are you doing here? Go back and rest!" After that, she left her, turned and went upstairs.

She'll go, provided she's sure he's okay.

She didn't say a word, hesitated for a moment, and followed upstairs.

Yu Shaoheng's bedroom is located in the west corner of the second floor. Turning around the red sandalwood stone-inlaid screen, seeing the situation inside, her heart trembled and she let out a low voice.
