Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 44

Yu Shaoyun took out a dagger, and when he approached the door, a man had already turned the screen.

"Xiao, Xiao Xun?" Yu Shaoyun was stunned.

During the most naughty days after Jiji, this person helped the eldest brother in time to prevent her from getting into trouble many times.For a moment he made her feel almost eerie in his absence, wondering how he could know where he was in time.After repeated questioning, he finally resorted to his real identity, which made her feel relieved.

But what's going on now?

Xiao Xun made a silent gesture to her, and said in a low voice: "Don't make noise, otherwise I will have to add a concubine."

Yu Shaoyun was so angry that he almost vomited blood, glared at Xiao Xun angrily, but had to lower his voice: "What's the matter with you coming to my boudoir in the middle of the night?!"

"I also want to come in broad daylight, does your elder brother agree?" Xiao Xun sat down lazily.

"..." Yu Shaoyun drew his sword and stepped back, "What are you doing here? Hurry up! Otherwise, I'll call someone!"

"I've married a wife and started a family, and I'm also Shao Heng's best friend." Xiao Xun looked at Yu Shaoyun with disgust, as if to say: Do I still have a crush on you?
Yu Shaoyun thought about it too, barely ignoring his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Xun looked down and caught a glimpse of the jade bi that Yu Shaoyun had no time to put away, "Given to you by Master Qi? Put it away carefully, and don't let anyone see it."

Yu Shaoyun felt guilty and flustered, how could he know everything?Then confused: "Who is that person? He knew you?"

"No comment."

"You tell me, who is that person? How did he recognize me?"

"There is only Yu Shaoyun who is chasing and beating dandies all over the capital. Who doesn't know him?" Xiao Xun warned solemnly, "It's okay to be stubborn in the past, but after returning to Beijing, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds. Half a step in the Hou's house. If you dare to act recklessly, I have no choice but to shave you into a little nun."

After hearing the last sentence, Yu Shaoyun became angry and wanted to laugh again, "What are you talking about? My mother and elder brother are in charge of me, when do I need you to tell me?" After that, he still persevered, "Does my elder brother know that person?"

"Then you can take the jade bi and ask him."

"..." Yu Shaoyun was caught in a weak spot.

Xiao Xun looked at her thoughtfully, "How could Shao Heng have a sister like you? If I were him, he would have strangled you to death a few years ago."

Yu Shaoyun knew that he and him were strong and weak, and he dared not speak out when he was angry. Later, he sympathized with Xiao Xun's wife: Is there any way to survive facing such a thing all day long?

At the end, Xiao Xun finally expressed his intention: "I will visit from time to time in the future, so don't tell anyone. If you have any troublesome things or things you like, you can tell me, and I will help you fulfill your wishes."

Yu Shaoyun became more and more confused, "What's the reason?"

"I don't want to either. Life is hard."

"..."

In the early morning of March, there was a little chill in the room.As a result, after Ye Xizhao woke up, he felt more and more warm and comfortable in the arms of the people around him; after that, he felt sore and weak all over; finally, he found that his whole body was naked.

She rubbed the center of her brows, and saw that it was getting late, and it was time for him to get up and go out.Forcibly driving away those memories that made people blush and heartbeat, turned over gently, and leaned over to get the pajamas that he had thrown aside.

As soon as his hand touched the pajamas, he was pulled back into his arms.

Woke up?Ye Xizhao turned over and looked at each other again.

His brows were stretched, his breathing was even, and he was clearly still in a deep sleep.

Ye Xizhao then turned over to get the pajamas again, and was pulled back into his arms again.Even in the dream, she had to take care of her... She simply gave up and faced him again.

He closed his eyelids, and unconsciously caressed his back with his hands, sliding over the scars he had left over the years, either fine and small, or deep and hideous.

Yu Shaoheng's breathing lost its calm frequency. At the same time, he clasped her hand and opened his eyes.

His eyes were warm and smiling, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.It turned out that he woke up early. "I thought you weren't awake yet." Ye Xizhao looked at him dissatisfied, "I always like to tease people."

Yu Shaoheng joked: "Even if you are still asleep, you can't hold back your hands and feet."

Ye Xizhao blinked, "I woke you up out of kindness."

"It's time to get up." Yu Shaoheng supported her with some nostalgia, and patted her face, "You don't need to go to say hello today, just go on sleeping."

"I will dine with you."

"No, be obedient." Yu Shaoheng dressed neatly and wrapped her in a brocade quilt.

Ye Xizhao accepted his kindness with a smile, "Come back early in the evening."

"Ah."

So, Ye Xizhao fell back into a peaceful sleep, and then got up to wash up.

After finishing eating, the servant girl announced that Ye Xihan came.

Ye Xizhao ordered someone to invite him in.

Ye Xihan walked into the room listlessly, sat down, looked at Ye Xizhao, and sighed.

"What's the matter?" Ye Xizhao became nervous because of his appearance, thinking that something happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ye Xihan took the teacup from Zhilan's hand, took a sip, fell silent for a moment, then let out another long sigh.

Ye Xizhao's face turned cold, "Are you here for something? Get out of here!" She didn't have that much patience with him.

"Oh—" Ye Xihan still sighed, "How can I tell you?"

"Zhilan, see off the guests!"

"I said, I said!" Ye Xihan looked at Ye Xizhao sadly, "Didn't I not know where to start? ——That's the thing, I... I'm going to be a father, you are going to be a father?" Aunt."

"Really?" Ye Xizhao couldn't be happy when he thought of his appearance just now, "Then why are you moaning? Is it because sister-in-law is too thin?"

Ye Xihan lowered his head, "No...it's not your sister-in-law who is happy."

"What?" Ye Xizhao responded with an incredulous look, "Are you here to tell me that your concubine is married before your sister-in-law?"

Ye Xihan nodded slowly and without confidence, "The one who is happy is Yanhong."

Ye Xizhao only cared about one thing: "What did my sister-in-law say?"

"I haven't told her yet, I'll tell my mother first."

"So, what did mother say?"

"Mother naturally scolded me severely."

Ye Xizhao asked again: "Then why did you come to see me?"

Ye Xihan looked around and said to him: "You don't know, when I first heard the good news, I was so happy that I couldn't fall asleep all night, and my mind was full of thoughts about whether the child is a boy or a girl, and what it will look like after birth... .”

Ye Xizhao's bright eyes flashed, "Then you never thought that Yan Hong should be punished for stopping the drug without permission? Where did she leave my sister-in-law? —— No, it's the two of you now, where did she leave my sister-in-law?" Is it wrong? Did my sister-in-law ask her to stop taking the medicine? Did something go wrong with my sister-in-law? "

"Of course not." Ye Xihan narrowed his eyes and looked at the ground.

"This is your business, I don't care!" Ye Xizhao felt that this person was hopeless, so he walked towards the embroidery stand, "Go, I'm busy."

Ye Xihan hurriedly put down the teacup, and followed her step by step, "What's your face? I just came to see how you think about this matter."

"How can I see it?" Ye Xizhao turned around, his eyes were cold, "Master Hou didn't give me a concubine in the left room and the right room, and I didn't care about the affairs in your room."

Ye Xihan was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Ye Xizhao couldn't help feeling wronged for Mrs. Xu while he was talking, "Think about it for yourself, what has my sister-in-law done to you since she married you? If you can't forget your old love, why bother to marry? There should be a responsibility. What is the plan now? Do you want the concubine's mother to climb on top of my sister-in-law? Look at your current appearance, it is simply disgusting!"

"Yan Hong didn't mean it either, it was something wrong with the medicine..."

"Only a fool like you would believe that kind of nonsense! How could a concubine who kept her own life do such a thing!"

Being scolded like this, Ye Xihan didn't have any temper at all, he still asked: "Then what do you mean—"

"I don't care!" Ye Xizhao raised his hand and pushed him hard, "Don't come to me for such things in the future, I'm too lazy to listen! Now I'm even angry just looking at you, get out!"

"Oh..." Ye Xihan explained with a wry smile, "It's two different things to be a father and a concubine. Why are you so angry? I just came to you to struggle to the death. If you scold me, I will also I'm determined to listen to my mother's handling of this matter."

Ye Xizhao's anger finally subsided, and his voice softened slightly, "I understand what you're thinking, but have you thought about the consequences? If my sister-in-law is what I used to be, I will have to blame myself for any troubles in the concubine's room. But Sister-in-law has always lived with you with all her heart, and when you make such a incident, those who know it will only say that Yanhong doesn't know the seriousness, and those who don't know it can only be regarded as your acquiescence." At this point, she couldn't help but sigh, "Let me tell you the truth—the way you live now is obviously riddled with holes, and there is nothing that can make people feel at ease. I don't know where to start when I want to blame you, so you can do it yourself. Go back now go to the house."

Ye Xihan has been kicked out so many times, so he has no way to stay any longer, so he said with a smile: "Then you should think about it, and when you see me some other day, I'll let you blame me."

This heartless look made Ye Xizhao even more headache.

Not long after Ye Xihan left, the servant girl came to report again: Xiao Xun arrived at the Hou Mansion and came straight to the main room.

Ye Xizhao was at a loss, whether public or private, the only person Xiao Xun wanted to see was Yu Shaoheng. Yu Shaoheng was not in the mansion, what was he doing here?
A moment later, Xiao Xun led ten people into the courtyard with strides, and each of his followers held a jar of fine wine.

Ye Xizhao recalled what Yu Shaoheng said that Xiao Xun was an alcoholic, and it became even more strange—could this alcoholic be quitting drinking?
Xiao Xun stepped forward, cupped his hands, and called politely like last time: "Sister-in-law."

"Lord Xiao." Ye Xizhao turned sideways to return the gift, then pointed to the wine jar in the courtyard, "This is—"

Xiao Xun replied: "It's a good wine that can only be found in the palace, and I will give it to Shao Heng."

For some reason, Ye Xizhao felt that he was a little annoyed, so he became even more curious, "Did Lord Xiao give it to Lord Hou?"

Xiao Xunxin said that I am not crazy, so I am not so generous.After that, he replied perfunctorily: "It was a gift from an old friend of Shao Heng, and my sister-in-law just accept it with peace of mind."
