Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 52

Ye Xizhao and Xu Shi quickened their pace and entered the room.

The strands of jet-black hair at Ye Xijin's feet were particularly glaring.She was holding a dagger and was about to cut at her wrist.

The servant girl struggled to control her, grabbed the dagger, threw it outside in a hurry, and hurried to report to Meng Shi.

"What is this doing?!"

Ye Xizhao and Xu Shi spoke in unison, with a cold tone.

Ye Xijin turned her head to look at Ye Xizhao, her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Shaving off your hair, do you want to sever your friendship with the Prime Minister?" Ye Xizhao sneered back, "Do you want to make a happy event a mournful event by committing suicide?"

Ye Xijin stared straight at Ye Xizhao, but said nothing.

"Whatever she wants, don't stop her." After Ye Xizhao ordered the servant girl, he turned to catch Ye Xijin's gaze, and his words were very cruel, "If you die, the prime minister's house will lose a person who is greedy for money. It's too late to be happy. Except for Third Aunt, do you think you can scare or harm anyone?"

Xu stared at Ye Xijin with hatred, "I really don't know the depth! I don't even know my own weight at this time!"

"You vicious person!" Ye Xijin finally spoke, slowly and hoarsely, "You, you ruined my life!"

Ye Xizhao smiled, "When you are greedy for small profits, you should think of these things. What's the use of saying this after the fact?"

Mrs. Xu ordered the servants in the room, "Clean up and dress her up."

Ye Xijin looked at Mrs. Xu, "Do you know what the dowry my wife gave me? A respectable maid is not as shabby as me when she gets married!"

He got to this point because he was greedy for money, but even now he is still troubled by those extraneous things.Xu felt disdainful, and turned coldly, "Shut up! The servant girl knows how to do her job with all her heart, what have you done? If I were my wife, I wouldn't find you a marriage, and I would have kicked you out of the house and left you alone." Fend for itself!"

While talking, the servant girl who went to inform came back, stood at the door and said in a low voice: "Madam just said, said... It doesn't matter whether Miss is dead or alive, the Prime Minister's house is just waiting for the result. Happy event and happy event, But I can’t handle the trivial matters—madam let the young lady think about where to go.”

Mrs. Xu took Ye Xizhao's hand, "We'd better go somewhere else, it's really boring to stay here."

Ye Xizhao nodded, and after leaving Ye Xijin's small courtyard, he asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think Xijin will continue to make trouble?"

"What face does she have to continue making trouble?" Xu smiled and shook her head with disdain, "Don't worry, people with greed are more afraid of death. People go to intercede with Madam, so that the dowry will be richer? It’s just that at this time, who will pay attention to her... I can’t say for sure, I’m just guessing.”

"Good hair, but it's also messed up..." Ye Xizhao laughed, "Isn't it even more disgusting when you come to your in-law's house like this?"

"Yes, women shouldn't just accept their fate blindly, but it's okay not to accept their fate when things come to an end."

Ye Xizhao pretended to be casual and asked: "How is my elder brother these days?"

Xu looked sad from the bottom of his heart, "Looking at his appearance, I feel very uncomfortable. Nothing is going well now. The only good thing is that I am much more diligent than before, and I am not so greedy. Naturally, no one Encouraging him in front of him."

"These are actually good things."

"I'm just worried that he's getting depressed."

Ye Xizhao said seriously: "He is a big man, how could he not be able to bear these things, don't worry, and you should not say anything about these things."

"I understand." Xu Shiqiang nodded with a smile.

Ye Xihan, who was being discussed by the two people, was in Ye Shuxuan's study at this time, and was asking something: "When I came back yesterday, it happened that Marquis Yongping left, did you discuss anything with him?"

Ye Shuxuan said perfunctorily: "He passed by the Prime Minister's mansion and came in to chat for a while." Then he asked, "You and Tang Hongxiao seem to have not been in touch for a while?"

Ye Xihan couldn't help frowning, "What are you still doing with him? Didn't you tell me to stay away from him before?"

Ye Shuxuan thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Now your situation is different, your position in the prime minister's mansion is in jeopardy, no one cares about it, I started to look at Xi Lang with admiration, and your friends have all abandoned you, willing to listen to you Most of the people complaining are Tang Hongxiao."

"...?" Ye Xihan appealed to emotion with his eyes, and slowly, his eyes lit up, "You mean, throwing stones to ask for directions?"

Ye Shuxuan smiled slightly, "It's not too stupid."

Ye Xihan's expression became focused, "Although this matter is unappetizing, I also admit it to find out."

"Don't rush for success, just act as ineffective as usual."

Although Ye Xihan felt awkward hearing this, he nodded readily, "Understood!"

Ye Shuxuan solemnly warned: "If something goes wrong with this matter, it will be a disaster. You can spend the rest of your life with the Tang family!"

"How could it be?" Ye Xihan thought in his heart that I've lost my face to this point, if I don't do something to show it, will there be a way to survive in the future?Then he approached Ye Shuxuan, "Tell me your plan in detail."

Although Ye Shuxuan didn't want to, but now he can only use Ye Xihan as a pawn.Recently, he has been thinking hard every day, only Tang Hongxiao and Ye Xihan are racking their brains for this.After everything was prepared, he repeatedly considered whether there were any mistakes. Seeing that Ye Xihan was also depressed to a certain extent, the timing was just right, so he mentioned it to Ye Xihan.

Ye Xihan accomplished the task, which means there are still some merits.Ye Xihan messed up the matter, and he and Tang Hongxiao became the same brothers and sisters in the past, and it didn't matter, he could still find out Tang Hongxiao's heart in the end.All he needs to think about afterwards is the whereabouts of the eldest son.

The father and son talked for a long time before Ye Xihan walked out of the study, and his mood naturally changed to the same slumber he had when he came over - he couldn't help but be like this, people inside and outside the house now looked at him differently from before, More sympathy or schadenfreude, less respect for him in the past.

He looked up at the sky and sighed silently.When will this kind of day come to an end?How long will it take to induce Tang Hongxiao to make a move?He couldn't set a deadline.The most terrible thing is that his father ordered him not to tell anyone about this matter, including his sister and wife.It's no wonder these two people don't hate him to death in the future.

After thinking about it, his final conclusion is: Father will obviously not miss any opportunity to torture him now, and he will not give up if he is not allowed to shed his skin.

Ye Xijin's marriage was finally settled, she got into the sedan chair with a stiff figure, and left the Prime Minister's mansion amidst the sound of firecrackers.

Ye Xizhao regards Ye Xijin as a passer-by from the bottom of his heart, and it may be difficult for him to get to know each other in the future.

That night, Yu Shaoheng went back to his room very early, lying on the bed after taking a shower, looking at a piece of paper for a long time by the light.

When Ye Xizhao took a rest, he saw only the names of a few officials written on the paper, and only then did he know that he was looking at the paper in a trance.

Shaking his arm lightly, Ye Xizhao asked, "Is it the one chosen by Mrs. Tai for Shaoyun?"

"Yeah." Yu Shaoheng sighed silently, "Mother said that if I have no objection, I will choose a family and start this matter as soon as possible. It seems that you are so determined, isn't it too hasty?"

Ye Xizhao asked again: "Have you watched it for so long, is it difficult or sad?"

"Both." Yu Shaoheng dropped the paper, turned sideways, and rested his chin on the top of her head, "Mother didn't know about Xiao Xunye's entry into the Marquis's mansion, but she was already anxious and panicked, afraid that something might happen. But If something really happens, I'm afraid that nothing can be done."

A hunch would be nice if something could have been avoided, but unfortunately not, it is usually only validated when it happens.

Ye Xizhao softly expressed his opinion: "You have said so, why don't you wait and see what happens? In fact, what can Prince Jing do? They can't force the Marquis to agree to the marriage. If it is according to Mrs. Tai's wishes, Not to mention whether it will be a waste of time, but in the days of preparing for this matter, no one will feel better, and feel that Shaoyun has been wronged."

"I always hope that the people in the mansion will live a safe and happy life, but they have never been able to do so." Yu Shaoheng was a little disappointed, "Is this the retribution I got after forcing others to make things difficult for me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Xizhao looked up at him, "Or do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. I just remembered your previous depression, and it seems to have seen Shaoyun's future situation." His eyes were full of apology, "Is it my fault?"

"How could it be?" Ye Xizhao comforted him softly, "Shaoyun won't be as stupid as I used to be, we are her relatives, and we only see her mischievous side, so we are always worried about her future But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand the truth." Seeing that he agreed, he continued, "I'll talk to Shaoyun more when I have free time, and see if I can ask what kind of family she wants to marry.

Yu Shaoheng smiled, and after a long silence, he said: "Tomorrow, I will explain to my mother in detail, and try to let her slow down the matter of Shaoyun. It is better to figure out what is going on now before making plans."

"Ah."

The next day, Ye Xizhao was always thinking about how to get Yu Shaoyun to tell what he deliberately concealed.If you want to set out the premise of the truth, you must first get close to her from the bottom of your heart, this is the most difficult thing to do.

When she was upset about this matter, Mrs. Xu came over with a very haggard face, as if she hadn't slept all night.After entering the door and taking a seat, he said bluntly: "I have something to say to you, send everyone away."

It's not because she was too anxious, but with Xu's temperament, she wouldn't say such a thing.Ye Xizhao waved his hand to let the servant girl back down.

Xu didn't wait to ask, her eyes were already red, "Tell me, I just told you yesterday that your eldest brother has improved a bit, and in the evening he changed back to his original shape - he was so drunk yesterday that the person who sent him back unexpectedly It's Tang Hongxiao!"

Ye Xizhao was stunned, "Is it true?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Xu's eyes gleamed with tears, "Earlier this morning, I kindly persuaded him, but he showed no remorse, and said that now only Tang Hongxiao still cares about his old relationship. At this point, he still doesn't live up to expectations, how do you think this day is going to live?"

Ye Xizhao stroked his forehead dejectedly.Ye Xihan, is there really no cure?
