Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 73

Ye Xizhao thought for a while, "Yes."

But Yu Shaoheng felt dissatisfied because of her brief hesitation, "I already understood, I should ask you when I come back."

Ye Xizhao smiled wryly.On the second day, although he was tired, he got up early and went to Mrs. Tai's room with him to talk about it.

Mrs. Tai didn't care much about hunting, first she smiled at Ye Xizhao: "Go and make me a cup of tea."

Ye Xizhao could naturally see that Mrs. Tai clearly wanted to distract herself and wanted to talk to Yu Shaoheng, so she said yes with a smile and went to make tea.

As soon as Ye Xizhao went out, Mrs. Tai turned cold and asked Yu Shaoheng: "What happened to you yesterday! You are so good, why are you interfering in the affairs of the inner house!"

Yu Shaoheng had long expected Mrs. Tai would blame him for this, so he said with a smile, "I was careless for a while, so I just casually agreed to the housekeeper's request. I know I was wrong."

Mrs. Tai couldn't accept his words, and said angrily: "In the past, I really couldn't take care of it, and you have your own concerns, so I want you to deal with some things, but now it's not me who is in charge, but Xi Zhao, why are you so arrogant?" Confused! That’s Xi Zhao, even if it were me, I’m afraid I’d be confused, what can I say to you!”

Yu Shaoheng looked innocent, "Mother just scolds me, I really know I was wrong."

Mrs. Tai stared at him for a moment, then smiled, "There's really nothing I can do about you! You have to explain this matter to Xi Zhao, although she has her own ideas, but if you don't rely on her in the open, which one of you will be in the future?" The servants will still obey her orders, I am afraid they will all go to curry favor with the housekeeper."

"I knew it in my heart. The emperor left for the paddock at about six o'clock. I had time to send the butler down."

Only then did Mrs. Tai feel relieved, "That's good."

While talking, Ye Xizhao personally brought the teacup, and when he put it on the black lacquer table, he reminded: "It's better to drink tea after dinner."

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, "Okay, listen to you."

After the husband and wife left, Yu Shaoheng said, "Go to the front yard."

This is the time to deal with the butler, Ye Xizhao nodded, and went ahead, but he was not afraid, he was really worried that he would let him witness the bloody beating of people like in his previous life.

The truth is not what she feared——

Yu Shaoheng ordered someone to bring the butler in front of him, and asked the butler coldly if he knew his mistake.

The butler has been with him for a long time, yesterday was the first time he took a risk in many years, the matter failed, and he knew that the end would be unpredictable, so he hurriedly made mistakes to ask him to forgive him.

Yu Shaoheng first appointed a new housekeeper, and then sent the person in front of him: beat twenty big boards and expel him from the house.As for Mama Qian, there is no need to mention it. He didn't even give Mama Qian the chance to find another way out of the house, and sent her directly to Zhuangzi.

Before the servant beat the housekeeper, Yu Shaoheng took Ye Xizhao out of the front yard.Returning to the lotus, he asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Ye Xizhao nodded with a smile, "Naturally satisfied."

"That's good." After saying this, he left for the palace.

After he left, Ye Xizhao realized that he was an afterthought—the longer he was away, the more lost and missed he felt.Afterwards, he couldn't help but smile wryly, it was like this even after the first day, how can we pay off in the future?

But what can be done, his life is like this.He doesn't live for her alone, there are always too many things he is willing or unwilling to do.

After Yu Shaohuan's courtyard was repaired, Ye Xizhao went to have a look, everything was to his liking, so he asked Yu Shaohuan again.Yu Shaohuan had no such plan at all, looking at the newly renovated living room, his eyes were only full of gratitude, and he couldn't find fault with it.

This matter was over, Ye Xizhao didn't have anything urgent at hand, so he started to deal with Xiao Xun's second brother, Xiao Mo.

After asking a few people, I learned that Xiao Mo is two years younger than Xiao Xun, and has no achievements—this is why Ye Xizhao has never heard of or paid attention to this person before.The only impression I have is that he was seriously injured in order to protect Joan.

No matter what, she was Yu Shaoheng's best friend's second younger brother after all, and Xiao Xun did her best to help the Hou's mansion with all the big and small affairs, even if it was just for Yu Shaoheng, she should help Qiao An to facilitate Xiao Mo's marriage.

Ye Xizhao told Mrs. Tai the truth about this matter, and Mrs. Tai agreed with her idea, and said: "Don't make it too obvious, first invite some people to come over to enjoy the chrysanthemums—your second younger brother and sister are in the chrysanthemum garden in the garden." A lot of new suits have been added, and some people who don’t have much contact with each other will be invited over. Afterwards, I will pass the invitations to the family that Xiao Xun has taken a fancy to.”

"Well, I understand." Ye Xizhao responded, and said again, "Recently, there is a new theater troupe in the capital, and its reputation is not bad, so please come and let you see it then?"

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "Of course it's good. If you have this kind of thought, even if they don't sing well, I will be happy in my heart."

Ye Xizhao said seriously: "If you really can't sing well, I'll have to play my temper and kick him out of the house right away. I want them to come and amuse you, but they make you suffer while listening. What's the reason?"

Mrs. Tai laughed out loud, "That's what it should be." Then she asked, "Which family's lady is Xiao Xun looking at?"

Ye Xizhao replied, "It's the second younger sister of the commander of the guard."

Mrs. Tai nodded, "The commander of the guards also has some contacts with Shao Heng. He has a good family background and a good family style. You just take care of this matter. Our close relatives and friends have everything going well, which is also the blessing of the Hou Mansion."

With Mrs. Tai's words, Ye Xizhao became more and more concerned about this matter. After two days, he organized a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet and invited many famous ladies. When I arrived at the Hou's mansion, I introduced the two families in the middle.

It can be seen that the wife of the guard's leading lady had a headache for Qiao An at first, and her words were very cautious.Fortunately, Qiao An was able to compromise on this matter, and his words were much softer. Even when he heard impatient topics, he listened with a faint smile.

Ye Xizhao watched from the sidelines, his hanging heart was finally let go.Afterwards, the guard's wife and Qiao An got acquainted with each other after meeting twice, and they began to communicate in private. The marriage was mentioned in this way, and if there were no accidents in the future, the marriage was a foregone conclusion.

But after finishing this work, Ye Xizhao was like doing nothing. Now checking and reconciling accounts is a piece of cake for her, and the only thing she can pass the time in free time is doing embroidery.

She repeatedly counted the days when Yu Shaoheng would leave. By this night, it was already the ninth day. She wondered if he would come back tomorrow.

These days, because of his departure, there was a lot of discomfort—when she fell asleep, there was no warm embrace for her to snuggle into; when she woke up, no one held her hand.What's more, no one made her angry or distressed anymore, and no one coaxed or teased her softly in her ear...

She just felt that a day like this was too long.

Without him by my side, my heart is always empty, as if I have no support.

It was getting late, but she still couldn't sleep, sitting on the porch enjoying the cool night breeze in early autumn, watching the night scene around the lotus under the night with her eyes closed.

In the past, he faced all this alone, what kind of mood did he feel?
Thinking of this, Ye Xizhao rubbed the center of his brows, a little annoyed, and said to himself, Ye Xizhao, you are promising, okay?Why bother to always miss him all the time?It doesn't matter whether he thought of you outside or not.

At this time, she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching the side of the lotus very quickly, and rushed into the room.Because the pace was too fast, the shouts and obstructions of the servants by the lotus were useless.

The person who came was about the same height as Yu Shaoheng, but Ye Xizhao could tell that this person was definitely not Yu Shaoheng. After being startled, he hurriedly went downstairs, and asked who it was as he walked down the stairs.

Zhilan replied helplessly: "Madam, the servants can't ask, he refuses to speak."

Entering the inner house of the Marquis Mansion at night, and involuntarily breaking into her residence—who is so courageous! ?

Ye Xizhao turned to the downstairs hall and saw a young man leaning against the wall, his face was pale, but his face was similar to Xiao Xun's, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Are you—"

The man stared at Ye Xizhao for a moment, then hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, "Sister-in-law, I am Xiao Xun's second brother—Xiao Mo."

"Oh..." Ye Xizhao became more and more puzzled, "Why did you come here in a hurry?" As he spoke, he smelled a faint smell of blood, looked up and down, and found Xiao Mo's black dress There was a dark spot on the waist, which should be due to the blood, and he asked again, "Are you injured, or did the wound burst earlier?"

Xiao Mo lowered his eyes, his face was gloomy, and he just said: "To tell you the truth, Madam, I was chased by others and came to the Hou's mansion, so I came here to hide."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Xizhao heard the shouts from the servants outside:

"Who is it!? Do you know that this is the residence of Mrs. Hou's Mansion?! Going forward, don't blame us for being rude!"

Xiao Mo whispered: "It's Zhong Liyang."

Under Ye Xizhao's impatience, his mind turned faster than usual, and he made up his mind in an instant, and immediately told Zhilan: "Take him to the next room." Then he walked out.

Standing outside the door was Zhong Liming.Behind him are ten palace guards.Right now, he doesn't have the affection, despair, and anger that Ye Xizhao had when he first met. He has an invisible murderous aura all over him, which makes people feel chills in their bones.

Ye Xizhao raised his face slightly, took a deep breath, and asked in a calm tone: "My son entered the Marquis' mansion at night, why did you come here?" While speaking, he heard the sound of a blazing arrow, and his heartstrings couldn't help but A little more tense.

Zhong Lizheng said coldly: "Catch the thief and chase him here, please let Madam make it easier for me to lead someone into the house to search."

Ye Xizhao sneered, "What does Shizi say?"

Zhong Liming also responded with a sneer, "The thieves entered Madam's room under the watchful eyes of everyone, why should Madam ask why she knows it!"

"Although you are a noble son, you must have a sense of proportion in your words!" Ye Xizhao's bright eyes flashed, "You entered the Marquis' mansion at night, and you can't help but say that you broke into my residence. What kind of behavior is it!"

"I have already said that they came here to capture thieves."

"I didn't see any thieves, I only saw a group of lunatics talking to themselves without asking!" Ye Xizhao argued on the surface, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart—if Zhong Lizhen really led someone to forcefully enter the house and take him away Xiao Mo, she really has no way to stop them, the people who are serving them are just maidservants, how can they be the opponents of this group of big men.

"If Ma'am wants to blame me for being impolite, just report to the officials tomorrow, and I'll wait for the officials to go to the palace to apprehend me!" Zhong Lixuan said as he led people closer to Ye Xizhao, and really took out the tactic of forcibly entering and searching the house .

Ye Xizhao, however, relaxed at this moment—Yu Shaoheng never ignored the safety of the people in the Hou's mansion, and clearly ordered his staff to take strict precautions—Chang'an led dozens of men to approach quietly.

From this, Ye Xizhao smiled calmly, "Such a trivial matter, why do you need to go to the government to make people laugh. It's okay for the son to search forcibly, just to see if you have the ability."

Chang An led the crowd to approach Zhong Limao and the others, and said at the right time, "Madam."

Zhong Liming looked back at each other, his expression completely changed.The people Yu Shaoheng left in the mansion were all people with unique skills who were found everywhere, and they were as frightening as the frightening secret guards.

Ye Xizhao turned around and sat down on the porch, and calmly ordered: "A bold thief came to the house, what should I do?"

Chang'an replied: "Go out of the house!"

Zhong Liming frowned in annoyance - the two master and servant actually described him as a despicable thief!I heard Zhong Lishan say that Mrs. Hou's mansion is virtuous and dignified, but what I see now is clearly a shrew with sharp teeth!

Ye Xizhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Whoever dares to break into the house and do anything wrong, you just take someone to capture him, and tie him up on the street tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

When Zhong Ligan was full of anger, there was a loud whistle on the roof of the building beside the lotus flower.After that, dozens of men in black clothes quietly appeared around the lotus, and surrounded them step by step.

Because of the appearance of these people, the atmosphere became extremely gloomy and oppressive.

Ye Xizhao didn't know why, whether this group of people were Zhong Liming's accomplices, or the subordinates of Yu Shaoheng's close friend.If the former, the situation is really bad.

Huo Tianbei met her gaze calmly, shook his head slightly, "I didn't."

Gu Yunzheng smiled lightly, "I believe in you."

Huo Tianbei's tone was filled with deep helplessness, "I don't have that vicious heart, I don't have that energy, and I didn't have the power in the court to make people suffer disaster. Be sure to let me tell you personally, before Do I only have military power in my hands? I can’t even marry a wife on my own. What else can I decide? An elder Qin Ge and a governor Fan have made me hide my strength for several years before I can bring them down. It is also them who are responsible for many things. The first shot, do you understand?"

"Understood. I'm sorry." Gu Yunzheng apologized sincerely.

Letting a man admit that he has struggled is no less than facing a humiliation, and most people will choose to avoid it.It was Huo Tianci that Governor Fan wanted to support. Qin Ge's daughter had once become a hostage in Mrs. Tai's hands. No matter what their scheming was, they probably had the intention to join forces to eradicate Huo Tianbei and let Huo Tianci replace him.It is conceivable that Huo Tianbei was suppressed for a time.

It's just that no matter what, you still need a practical answer to feel at ease.

She looked apologetic, "Don't blame me."
