Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 45

When twilight fell, Mrs. Tai and Yu Shaoyun returned to the mansion.

Mrs. Tai was really tired, so she ate something and rested after returning to her room.Yu Shaoyun, on the other hand, was in high spirits, and went to the main room to ask about the interesting things about this day.

The only interesting thing was that Xiao Xun gave wine, so Ye Xizhao told Yu Shaoyun about it.

"Really?" Yu Shaoyun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then looked very happy, "Now, big brother is lucky."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said, "I'm really puzzled."

"Whatever you do, the things that others bring to your door are not stolen or snatched, just keep them." Yu Shaoyun then ordered the maid to move the embroidery frame back to her room, and explained to Ye Xizhao, "Every Coming to the main room a few days ago didn't look good, it's better to stay in your own room with peace of mind."

Ye Xizhao naturally had no objection.

After Yu Shaoheng came back, looking at the ten altars of fine wine, he was also a little puzzled, "Why do I think that guy has no good intentions?"

Saying so, but can't find a real reason.

In the next few days, Ye Xizhao met with the relevant personnel who took care of the dowry one by one, and asked Madam Tai about some doubts from time to time.Mrs. Tai was very happy to see the success of this from the bottom of her heart, and seeing that Ye Xizhao was a master at one point, she passed on all the experience she had accumulated over the years.

On this day, Yu Shaoheng gave Ye Xizhao the transcribed and revised book of poems by Ye Shuxuan, and asked her to send it back to the Xiangfu.The previous volume was naturally destroyed.

Although Ye Xizhao was concerned about what happened in Ye Xihan's room before, he didn't ask anyone to go back and inquire about it. After all, he is a married person, so no matter how uncomfortable he is with such things, he can't make it clear.This time when I went back to my natal family, I took the opportunity to ask about it.

Meng frowned when she mentioned that incident, annoyed at Ye Xihan's connivance with her concubine, and then said: "I rewarded you with a bowl of medicine for Yan Hong. How many excuses did you find for crying all day long? Let your elder brother go to see her, I will simply ask your father to find a reason to send your elder brother away for a few days, and the rest is up to your sister-in-law."

Hearing that his parents helped each other, Ye Xizhao said with a sincere smile: "You and father are working together now."

Meng smiled wryly, "That's right, it's been so many years that this day has come. In the past, he couldn't listen to what I said, and a word of a woman's opinion was enough to make me speechless." Talking about Yanhong, "The matter of Hongyu earlier made me jealous of her, but now it's a good thing, how dare such a thing happen, really! Just because your elder brother is partial to her, I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth Already!"

"Then what about my sister-in-law?" Ye Xizhao asked.

"I'm afraid your sister-in-law will be embarrassed by your bastard's temperament, so I didn't let her intervene in this matter. What will happen in the future, it depends on her after all." Meng couldn't help frowning, "Everyone these Not to blame, after all, it’s your elder brother’s fault.”

"That's true." Ye Xizhao hesitated for a moment, and asked Tang Hongxiao, "Do people from the Tang family still come to the prime minister's mansion often?"

Mrs. Meng said: "Mr. Li has been to the inner house a few times, but I have made excuses for not seeing him. I should be more interested in the future, right? Naturally, Tang Hongxiao and your father are still in contact. Listening to what your father said inside and outside the meaning, Tang Hongxiao was thinking of probing, to see if your father knew about your quarrel with him. Your father will not reveal it."

Ye Xizhao laughed and said: "People in the officialdom are probably more used to hiding their emotions than the women in the house."

Later, Ye Xizhao heard about Ye Xijin's recent situation:

Ye Xijin and Han Cheng's wedding is scheduled for the end of this month.

Ye Xijin didn't even go out of the room every day, lying on the bed all day long and crying.As for the third aunt, she either read Buddhist scriptures or chanted scriptures, and she had the intention of creating a pure land in the prime minister's mansion.

All the things he had been worried about were settled for the time being, Ye Xizhao felt a little relieved and went back to the Hou's Mansion.

Mrs. Tai was in the room, looking suspiciously at a basket of grapes and a basket of honeydew melons. When she saw Ye Xizhao, she wondered, "I'm really surprised—what is Xiao Xun going to do? What is the intention behind sending these rare items here?"

Ye Xizhao couldn't figure it out, so he smiled wryly and shook his head, "My daughter-in-law is also puzzled."

"In the past, he and Shao Heng had a very close friendship, but no one knew about it. Now they come to the door every three days, what is the plan?"

Because of these incomprehensions, when Yu Shaoheng went back to the mansion to pay his respects, Mrs. Tai asked him bluntly.

Yu Shaoheng was no less doubtful than anyone else, and he had already asked Xiao Xun, and Xiao Xun only said that he would share with his good brothers when he got good things—it’s no wonder that such a hot-tempered person would say such sour words. .

In the evening, lying on the big kang, Yu Shaoheng asked about the situation in the mansion while looking for suspicious things.

He didn't have anything to worry about in the main house, the second master and the second wife were as usual, the third master had recently started to study poetry and books hard, and Yu Shaoyun stayed quietly in the small courtyard every day doing embroidery work.

"She's quiet..." Yu Shaoheng sat up, his eyes flickering slightly.

Ye Xizhao also realized this at the same time.It's normal for other people to be quiet, but it's not normal for Yu Shaoyun.

When the night was still deeper, Yu Shaoheng took Chang'an to Yu Shaoyun's small courtyard.

The maid on duty at night was dozing off, so she could easily enter the door.The light in Yu Shaoyun's bedroom was still on.

Yu Shaoheng asked Chang'an to wait at the gate of the courtyard, pushed open the door by himself, walked more gently, and turned into the dormitory slowly.

He stood in front of the screen, hesitating for a moment.After all, running into someone else's room in the middle of the night, even if the person is his own sister, is really unworthy.

At this time, I heard Yu Shaoyun whispering: "What are you pretending to do? Do you have the things you want to bring?"

Yu Shaoheng's handsome face turned cold, and he turned around the screen, "Who is pretending to be a ghost? Who do you want to bring here?"

When Yu Shaoyun saw Yu Shaoheng at this moment, it was no less than seeing a ghost in the daytime, and immediately jumped up in fright, "Brother..."

Yu Shaoheng hurried over, cut her arms behind him, picked her up and left.

"Brother! What are you going to do?" Yu Shaoyun fell head down, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Shut up! If you talk again, I'll kill you!" Yu Shaoheng ordered when passing by Chang'an, "Find someone to sit in the room instead of her, and call a few more skilled ones to wait for the rabbit."

"Yes." Chang An hurried away.

When Ye Xizhao heard the dull sound of heavy objects falling, he hurriedly dressed and went to the hall, only to see Yu Shaoyun thrown on the ground, and Yu Shaoheng standing with his hands behind his back.

Yu Shaoheng's voice was calm: "You asked Xiao Xun to send many gifts to the Hou Mansion?"

"Yes." Yu Shaoyun said, about to stand up.

Yu Shaoheng raised his foot and kicked lightly, causing her to fall to the ground again.

Yu Shaoyun has always been very interesting in front of Yu Shaoheng, so he simply sat on the ground and did not move.

"The reason."

"He said it himself. He can give me whatever I want. I just tried it a few times." Who knows, this trial was good, and the truth was revealed——Yu Shaoyun added in his heart.

"The reason!" Yu Shaoheng's tone was slightly aggravated, and he lightly kicked Yu Shaoyun's rib with his toe.

Yu Shaoyun immediately frowned, looking very painful, and curled up accordingly, but still replied honestly: "I don't know, he came to the Hou's mansion for no reason, and told me these things, and I didn't say much. think."

"Besides, don't you know?" Yu Shaoheng's eyes were full of anger.

Yu Shaoyun shook his head vigorously, "I really don't know..."

Yu Shaoheng asked again: "Why didn't you know me?"

"No, dare not." Yu Shaoyun visibly became nervous, and then turned to Ye Xizhao for help.

Yu Shaoheng grabbed her chin one step ahead of her, "When will Xiao Xun come?"

Yu Shaoyun struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "He said, come tonight."

"What's for you?"

"That embroidered picture."

Yu Shaoheng suddenly smiled softly, but in the eyes of others, he felt chills in his heart, "Look at how promising you are, you have done all the deviant things." He let go, stepped back and sat down.

Ye Xizhao stood aside, really helpless.Yu Shaoheng like this always makes her helpless.At such a time, no one knew whether he would be furious in the next moment, or which words would provoke his anger to erupt.

"If you don't tell the truth, then wait for Xiao Xun to come. If you can't give a good reason, let's die together." Yu Shaoheng appealed to the plan.

Ye Xizhao felt that it was not an option to stay frozen in place all the time, so he personally went to make tea for him and delivered it to him.

Yu Shaoheng raised his hand to take the teacup, saw her eyes full of emotions, and smiled comfortingly.

"Brother...." Yu Shaoyun really had nowhere to say, "This matter...."

"Shut up." Yu Shaoheng took a sip of tea leisurely, "Do you want to talk?"

Yu Shaoyun nodded vigorously.

"I don't want to hear it anymore."

"..."

"Sister-in-law..." Yu Shaoyun just wanted to ask Ye Xizhao for help, but was stopped by Yu Shaoheng's cold gaze, "It's useless for mother to be here!"

Ye Xizhao deliberated for a moment, turned to sit aside, and completely gave up the idea of ​​explaining to Yu Shaoyun.Some mistakes can be made again and again and can be forgiven, but this matter should indeed teach Yu Shaoyun a lesson.

The main room fell into a long silence.

During the period, Yu Shaoheng drank two cups of tea, then turned to read a book on the kang, ignoring Yu Shaoyun's existence.

In the middle of the night, a series of slight footsteps came from the courtyard.

"Master Hou," Chang An reported outside the door, "Lord Xiao has... been captured."

Yu Shaoyun had expected this situation a long time ago, and became more and more frustrated.Ye Xizhao laughed in surprise when he heard it.

Yu Shaoheng ordered: "Let him get out."

Xiao Xun's arms were cut back and bound, and there was a bloodstain on Qingjun's face. He entered the door and looked at Yu Shaoheng, "Are you deliberately killing me? I almost died under the cold arrow!" Tangtang The commander of the dark guards, how could he be in such a mess.

Yu Shaoheng put down the book and smiled softly, "If you talk nonsense, I'll let you crawl out of the Hou Mansion."
