Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 65

what is the reason?Just because she is from the Yu family, she was born with a sense of pride and cannot be bribed or subdued by anyone.Just because she wants to enter the palace for her family, it doesn't matter who the man is.

Ye Xizhao felt so sad, "I really don't want to see that day, I'm always worried about you."

However, Yu Shaoyun smiled calmly, approached Ye Xizhao, and took her hand, "It depends on my elder brother how I will be in the future. You will understand that after I enter the palace, no matter what position I reach, I will still be with my natal family." Only by complementing each other can we share stability. One prospers and one loses. I just ask you to be more sympathetic to big brother in the future. It is really not easy for him to walk from a young age to now."

"I understand. I will."

"That's good." Yu Shaoyun put on a playful smile and rubbed Ye Xizhao's face, "Brother these years, taking care of the family is out of a responsibility on his shoulders, and the only ones who care about me most are you and mother. You do this for me. You look so sad, don't be seen by the big brother, he will be even more sad."

Ye Xizhao nodded and smiled, "No, don't worry."

In this way, on the second day, Yu Shaoyun returned to the Hou Mansion from the other courtyard.

After two days, the emperor's decree arrived.

When the whole family received the order, Ye Xizhao was in a trance when he heard the eunuch Xuanzhi's long and sharp voice.

The last time when she heard this voice, it was the day she married into the Hou's Mansion, the emperor canonized her as the imperial wife.At that time, she was full of bewilderment, indifferent to the title she got because of marrying Yu Shaoheng.

Today, at the same time that the emperor issued a decree to confer Yu Shaoyun as Concubine Li, he sent a palace attendant to the Hou's mansion to teach Yu Shaoyun the rules of the palace, and ordered Yu Shaoyun to enter the palace ten days later.

Yu Shaoyun's destination in this life, the dust has settled.

Ye Xizhao could tell that Mrs. Tai and Yu Shaoheng were in a bad mood, but they couldn't be comforted.She can only continue with the affairs at hand and live her life as usual.

Because of the marriage between Yu Shaohuan and Guan Siniang, Ye Xizhao went to Xiao Mansion for the second time.

Hearing that Ye Xizhao had arrived in the mansion, when Qiao An was about to go out to meet him, Xiao Xun walked into the room with a leisurely attitude.

When Qiao An saw him, he was full of anger, turned around and sat down, and said indifferently: "It's strange, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Xun almost laughed.Indeed, it is common for the two of them to not see each other for a month or two, but it is rare for them not to quarrel after meeting.He sat down and said casually, "I can't come?"

Joan didn't even look at him anymore, "To make a long story short, I want to entertain guests."

Xiao Xun took out a few banknotes and put them on the high table beside him, "In the past six months, you have subsidized a lot of household expenses, you should accept these first."

Qiao An ordered the servant girl to bring the bank notes, and after calculating the amount, she smiled coldly, "Not enough."

Xiao Xun couldn't help but frowned, "I didn't tell you, I'll accept these first, and let the housekeeper hand over to you what I owe you in the future."

"Master Commander," Joan looked at him, "every time you say that, which time do you do what you say? How old are you going to coax me like a child?"

Xiao Xun heard the harsh words, and retorted impatiently: "You are short of money, just order someone to ask me for it, how do I know how much money you subsidized the outer courtyard!"

Joan turned to order the servant girl: "Auspicious, bring the account book, and call all the insiders to the room."

"Why is it so hard for me to talk to you!" Xiao Xun glared at her, "Just tell me how much money the outer courtyard owes the inner house, what account books do you use, what servants do you summon?! Which family have you ever seen live like this?! "

Qiao An looked at him in disbelief, "Last time I told you that your second and fourth younger brothers fought outside and robbed 2000 taels of the inner house to make up for the injured. The mistress is simply useless, and she still needs me to produce evidence. Is it superfluous for me to ask you to look at the account books and summon witnesses?"

"..."

Xiao Xun has to admit that the Xiao family has a tough family style, including him, none of the four brothers has a fuel-efficient lamp, and it has become a habit to hurt others at every turn.As for Joan, he simply hated this point, because his three brothers would be soft-spoken or forcefully rob the inner house to settle the troubles they caused outside.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Xun said: "Let's not talk about this anymore, you can calculate the total amount based on how much silver taels our four brothers have lost, and tell the steward, and he will hand it over to you."

Joan asked, "Are you referring to the past six months, or the total after I married you?"

"Why are you always on the edge?" Xiao Xun became annoyed again, "Obviously the outer courtyard and the inner house are all one family, so the money is all in my hands? No matter how much you owe the inner house, you just give the housekeeper the total amount." , even if you take all the money in my hand, how can I still say no?"

Joan sneered, "The money in your hand? If the housekeeper and I hadn't worked so hard to earn the money for you, you would have lost all the money!"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Xun was full of anger when he heard this, "I only gambled with Shao Heng once in my life, and it was a few years before you entered the door. ? I'm really sick!"

"You are the one talking nonsense!" Joan's eyes were full of chills, "You and your creditor did only gamble once, but what you lost was the antique calligraphy and paintings that your parents had accumulated for half their lives! That was you alone What? The three brothers below you always use this reason when they take money from the inner house, so what if I were you!?"

"Exaggerated words, how many times have I told you to ignore them?!" Xiao Xun's tone also became more serious, "Why do you always ignore them!"

"I really don't care, but can I stand up to them taking the bank notes by force?"

"Won't you tell me in time?"

"I think, but the helpless thing is that you, Mr. Xiao, are so busy that I can't easily see anyone!"

"..." Xiao Xun was almost choked again and couldn't answer correctly, he took a moment to say, "Who told you to lose face when you see me?"

"Who told you that you are born with a hideous face!"

Xiao Xun was almost angered into a cat with its tail chopped off. After holding back for a while, he managed to ease the deadlock, "That's all, I wrote down everything you said. It's all mine, right?"

Qiao An was unmoved, "Your fourth brother asked me for a painting of orchid and bamboo all day long, saying that the painting was priceless, and that if you and I couldn't get it, we would have to exchange it for taels of silver, which you four brothers would share equally. "

"Aside from matters related to silver, can you tell me something else?" Xiao Xun laughed angrily, "I have already lost to Shao Heng for that painting. If you are thinking about it, go ask him for it."

"I clearly remember that you said that you would use orchid and bamboo pictures as a gift on my father's fiftieth birthday."

Xiao Xun was surprised, "Have I ever said that to you?"

Qiao An had a half-smile, "I never told it to me, but to others, I heard it without paying attention."

Xiao Xun's voice sank, "Qiao An, if you don't argue with me, life will be difficult, right?"

"What do you mean, did I make trouble for no reason?" The more Qiao An argued with others, the more relaxed her mind became, and she even smiled happily at this moment, "Who is someone else going to marry? What are you doing? You stand up against others What kind of bet? It's all right to make a bet, after I marry you, why should I be bothered by these things all day long?"

Xiao Xun couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, approached Qiao An, and squeezed her jaw forcefully, "Why? Because you chose to marry me, you deserved to be bothered by these things! Because I married you, you deserved to be bothered by these things!" I have to endure your sarcastic remarks for so long. Joan, this is your life and mine, you better admit it as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed her lightly and walked out quickly.When he reached the door, his steps froze.

Ye Xizhao looked at him, full of doubts.

"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Xun stepped forward and bowed.He didn't know if this woman knew about the bet, so he couldn't explain anything.

Ye Xizhao withdrew his gaze and turned to return the salute.

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Madam, what do you want to ask?"

Ye Xizhao pursed his lips and smiled, "No. Master Xiao just go to busy business."

Xiao Xun had no choice but to step out of the room.

After the maid informed, Ye Xizhao entered the hall.The purpose of her coming was naturally for the marriage between Yu Shaohuan and Guan Siniang.

Qiao An knew it well, and after hearing Ye Xizhao say that Mrs. Tai was also very fond of Guan Siniang, she immediately replied: "I will notify the Guan family as soon as possible, you can just wait at ease."

After Ye Xizhao finished his business, he didn't intend to stay. When he got up to give his speech, he finally couldn't help asking: "Just now I went to the outer room, because Madam already knew that I was going to the main room, so she stopped the servant girl from reporting—— Your conversation with Master Xiao was really unintentional. I just want to ask one thing, the bet between Lord Hou and Master Xiao for several years—"

Qiao An smiled, "It's because of you. For the details, Madam might as well go back and ask Lord Hou. I'm not very clear about the details, so I can't say anything in detail."

"That's enough, thank you." After thanking Ye Xizhao, he returned to the Hou Mansion.

On this day, in the eyes of others, she was as usual.But in her heart, she was eager to see Yu Shaoheng.

But Yu Shaoheng was caught up in official duties and couldn't come back early.

In the evening, after Ye Xizhao took a rest, he didn't feel sleepy, and kept looking at the screen at the door unconsciously.

On the second watch day, Yu Shaoheng returned to the bank of the lotus under the gloomy moonlight.After changing clothes and taking a bath, when she took a rest, she realized that the person next to her pillow was still awake, and her bright eyes were full of inquiry, and she looked at him carefully.

"What's wrong?" He bullied himself.

Ye Xizhao's hand fell on his shoulder, "Don't touch me before you tell me something."

The voice was very calm, because it was too calm, revealing indifference.

Yu Shaoheng asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"You and Xiao Xun have been betting for several years." Ye Xizhao looked at him, "Tell me, why do people say that the betting is because of me?"

Yu Shaoheng frowned, "Who told you these words?"

"I didn't intend to tell anyone about it, but I didn't intend to hear about it." Ye Xizhao asked with some confusion, "What's going on? I always thought you saw me in Haitang Garden, and then went to the outer courtyard to look for my father. When it comes to marriage, even everyone thinks so, but you clearly said that the bet lasted for several years... Tell me, what's going on? I really can't figure it out. "

Yu Shaoheng pondered for a moment, "I did see you in the Begonia Garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I immediately decided to marry you. There is no doubt about that."

Ye Xizhao became more and more confused when he heard the words.
