Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 50

"That's what I have to say." Yu Shaoyun urged, seeing the embarrassment on the second lady's face, she simply got up and wanted to leave, "I also know that I shouldn't get involved in your affairs. If you are embarrassed in front of me, then I will avoid it. You talk to sister-in-law in detail. I just don't want to see you frowning, and I don't want to add such a person to the second brother's room."

The second lady hurriedly got up to stop her, "That's not what I meant, don't worry too much."

Yu Shaoyun sat down again.

Ye Xizhao looked at Yu Shaoyun with a smile, "You are impatient, let your second sister-in-law sort things out before talking about it."

Yu Shaoyun then smiled, "Aren't I just afraid that she will be embarrassed? You guys are not heartless like me."

As a result, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The second lady sipped her tea and told the story: "It's a long story. The year before last, my uncle opened a jade shop and made some silver taels, so he always encouraged My mother said that this business has been the most profitable in the past two years, and let my mother take this opportunity to earn some money. My mother couldn't stand my uncle talking about it, but also saw that he had indeed made a lot of money. At the end of the year before last, he Take out most of the money in your hand, let him build another store, and take care of everything. You should also know that, to put it mildly, my mother's family and my grandfather's family are from a scholarly family, and to put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of nerds. Where are the materials for doing business? My uncle made some money earlier, but it was just a moment of luck."

Hearing this, Ye Xizhao and Yu Shaoyun could easily guess that the business was lost in the end, but it happened unexpectedly——

The second lady continued: "In the winter of last year, my uncle was severely deceived, and a batch of so-called precious jade articles and jade stones he got were all counterfeit. If you go back and look for someone, where can you find it? That's it. So much wasted money was exchanged for a bunch of cheap things that were worthless, and I lost it with interest." Speaking of this, she couldn't help sighing, "But the house leaks happen to rain all night, then It coincided with my third younger brother getting married, and there was no profitable business outside my natal family. To arrange the marriage, my father could only ask for money from my mother. My mother had no choice but to tell the truth. That's how it was In an embarrassing situation, Aunt Qi has a place to use her skills."

Yu Shaoyun couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it would be great to borrow some money from the Hou's mansion for two weeks, why use a concubine's money."

The second lady smiled wryly, "Those who are in financial difficulties are willing to alleviate their predicament without leaving home. Aunt Qi's family has been in business for many years, and the most important thing is silver. She brought the bank note to her, and my parents accepted it and gave it to her family A written proof was made, saying that the principal and interest would be repaid after one year. It's just that this year, the family's big and small affairs continued, and the situation went from bad to worse, making it impossible to repay at all. No, Aunt Qi started to think of other ideas."

Yu Shaoyun couldn't help but asked again: "Is she going to use those silver taels to change your concubine's home?"

"Yes." The second lady's expression became more sad, "You can also see the blemishes on my concubine's face, which is also the reason why Hua is still in her boudoir for two years. Aunt Qi is also a talker, either sorrowful, or Weeping and crying, when she saw me, she said that my sister-in-law would be lonely and helpless for the rest of her life, and she also said that it would be good to be a concubine even if her appearance was flawed."

Ye Xizhao asked, "What about your parents? What do they think of this matter?"

"They..." The second lady sighed again, "Ever since the family started to run out of money, the two of them started complaining to each other, and they weren't afraid of your jokes. The two of them had been arguing for nearly a year, and they just quarreled after just a few words. Naturally, Aunt Qi took advantage of this loophole and made my father shake. No matter what my sister-in-law said, it was also his heart. My mother either blamed herself or my uncle all day long. ...sorrowful people."

"I understand." Yu Shaoyun figured out the ins and outs, and asked Ye Xizhao with a smile, "Sister-in-law, will you help second sister-in-law?"

"I try my best."

"Then I'll go back to my room."

The second lady stood up nervously, "Try not to tell Mrs. Tai about this."

"I see."

Only then did the second lady feel a little more at ease.Unless it's a last resort, she doesn't want to alarm Mrs. Tai, let alone cause the old man to disdain her natal family because of this incident.

Of course Ye Xizhao could see the scruples of the second wife.The Second Madam was too content with herself, so she didn't even dare to take Madam Tai's admiration and pity for her from the bottom of her heart.

There were two sisters-in-law left, Ye Xizhao said comfortingly: "After all, it's about those silver taels. I'll help you think of a way."

"That's not a small amount. I didn't dare to ask the exact amount. Will it embarrass you too much?"

"Then what do you want? According to Aunt Qi's thoughts, send your concubine sister to the second master?"

"Of course I don't want to." The second lady's voice lowered, "Sisters working together as a husband... It's more unbearable than a man with wives and concubines. If nothing else, the rules will be messed up. But... I have been recuperating for more than half a year. It’s useless. My natal family said that if sooner or later I have to take a concubine for the second master for the sake of my son, it’s better to bring someone from my natal family into the Marquis’ residence.”

"False." Ye Xizhao raised his eyebrows, "It's probably because Aunt Qi gave them benefits, that's why they told you so, don't pay attention to those."

"Aunt Qi said that as long as my sister-in-law has a place to live, she also said that if she can get what she wants this time, her natal family will do their best to help my father make a prosperous business-except for the money, her natal family I will give some more silver taels as my sister-in-law's dowry." The second lady said, her eyes turned hesitant, "My parents have aged a lot because of their family background in just one year, and I really feel sorry for them. In [-], I thought, can I help them. But the second master said it was too ridiculous, and he didn't agree with it, and even got angry. Therefore, I really don't know what to do. "

"Filial piety should be done, but there is something to be done." Ye Xizhao looked at the struggling woman with a smile and felt distressed, "If your concubine sister enters the door of the Hou's mansion, your aunt will probably let her go. You will never have a peaceful day, so let's get rid of this idea as soon as possible." As he spoke, he got up and said, "I will give you a promise in three or two days, and you can wait at ease. If those two people come again, don't see each other."

The second lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response, "Okay, I will listen to my sister-in-law."

Before going out, Ye Xizhao added with a smile: "Didn't you think of telling the second master about this? It's not your fault, why let him misunderstand."

In Ye Xizhao's opinion, the most important thing for the second wife to do is to tell Yu Shaoqian all these things as soon as possible, so that he can make up his mind, instead of taking a concubine for him on the grounds of heirs.But between husband and wife in the world, the way of getting along is not the same, and the temperament and thinking are even more different.She and Yu Shaoheng are only now able to tell many things frankly.

In the final analysis, the second lady is because she cares too much, so that the authorities are delusional.

Ye Xizhao's first thought was to discuss this matter with Yu Shaoheng.Even if Yu Shaoheng disagrees, she doesn't need to worry, because the facts in her previous life have proved that Mrs. Tai will not stand idly by.

But what happened next was beyond her expectation.In the evening, when she was euphemistically talking about this matter with Yu Shaoheng, Yu Shaoqian came over, and the intention of coming was self-evident.

Ye Xizhao hid in the dormitory, leaned against the bedside to read the account books, let the two brothers talk, and heaved a sigh of relief.Regarding the matter of the second wife, she was always worried that her words would be wrong and Yu Shaoheng would be misunderstood. It would be best for Yu Shaoqian to say these things.

After a long time, Yu Shaoheng turned into the dormitory, patted her face with a smile, "Shao Qian and you probably said the same thing."

"What did you say?"

Yu Shaoheng said in a casual tone, "Lend some silver taels to the Liu family for turnover, and get over this hurdle. The rest is up to them."

Ye Xizhao thought that after this incident, the second wife should be on guard against Aunt Qi, this kind of thing can only happen this time.As for other things, Yu Shaoqian would also help his father-in-law one or two.

After turning around and saying hello, the second lady said to Ye Xizhao with a smile: "After thinking about it yesterday, I felt that sister-in-law's words were reasonable, so I told the second master these things, and I didn't want to make my sister-in-law bother. "

Ye Xizhao couldn't be more satisfied with such a result, and smiled sincerely: "It's fine as long as it's okay."

In the next few days, Ye Xizhao started to take care of some things in the inner house with the help of the maid and the mother in charge. The second wife was busy helping her mother's family to find Liu Yuping's husband's house, and the Tai wife was busy welcoming her to—— There was an endless stream of matchmakers from Yu Shaohuan and Yu Shaoyun.

Regarding the matter of Yu Shaohuan's remarriage, Mrs. Tai made up her mind to be cautious, and called Ye Xizhao and the second wife to discuss it carefully every day.

As for Yu Shaoyun's marriage, Mrs. Tai was undecided from beginning to end.In Mrs. Tai's view, those who are gentle and loyal cannot restrain Yu Shaoyun; those who are domineering and strong may not be able to stand Yu Shaoyun's temperament, and they will fight every day.

Therefore, the marriage of the two people really made Mrs. Tai difficult.

When Yu Shaoheng heard about it, he only laughed and said that Mrs. Tai might be delusional.Ye Xizhao asked him his opinion on Yu Shaoyun's marriage when he was free, but he just said that Mrs. Tai can make the decision.

Because there are too many people proposing marriage, and Mrs. Tai is carefully selecting, which almost makes Ye Xizhao suspect that her memory has made a mistake——with the current trend, Mrs. Tai is afraid that she will come to a conclusion after some time. There is no sign of the palace's affairs at all.

After thinking about it, she thought it was okay.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shaoyun's marriage went wrong a few days later.

That day, Ye Xizhao had a rare leisure time, sitting in front of the embroidery frame and stitching, Xia He walked in, and she was taken aback by what happened:
The person who came to propose marriage today was entrusted by Prince Jing to marry Yu Shaoyun, and it was Prince Jing's son Zhong Lixuan.
