Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 97

Yu Shaoheng's eyes were gentle, and his voice was sincere: "I know all about the pain and illness you suffered when you were pregnant in Mobei and gave birth to Ming Xin."

Ye Xizhao smiled slowly, looking weak, as if to say: I knew it would be like this.

"Originally, I planned to delay talking about this matter for a few days, but you are like this, it is clear that you always keep it in mind." Yu Shaoheng kissed her forehead, "I have you, and Ming Xin is enough. Put that matter aside, do you hear me?" ? How can there be real consummation in this world? And the consummation in my heart is at this moment."

Ye Xizhao pursed his lips, raised his finger and pointed to the teapot on the high table beside him, got up and went to the ground, "I'll drink some water."

She walked to the high table and picked up the teapot, but she didn't pour the tea into the cup for a long time.Putting it down gently, she whispered: "Master Hou."

"..." Yu Shaoheng looked at her profile.

Ye Xizhao put his hand on the high table, "You are my husband, and you will be for the rest of your life. But you are still a courtier of the hereditary Marquis, the most important person in the Yu Mansion, and the eldest son of the old Marquis and Mrs. Tai." , the only eldest son. What do the so-called continuous heirs and the so-called spreading of branches and leaves refer to? And what do you mean by having no children?" She didn't wait for Yu Shaoheng to speak, and then said, "You said what you thought , You should also listen to me tell me about my plan."

Yu Shaoheng frowned, and said patiently: "Go on."

Ye Xizhao lowered his eyelids, looked at Gao Ji, his voice was still calm and soft: "Qiao Chen has worked hard for my body since last year until today, and my mental strength has only recovered to before Youxi. But it's about whether I can have another child , she is not sure at all. How many imperial physicians Xiao Xun invited in the palace, they always shake their heads and sigh."

She raised her eyes and looked up, took a breath, and continued: "What I want now is to ask you to give me three or two years, let me guard you and Mingxin to live. After that, I I will go and beg Mrs. Tai to find you a good concubine, and then, I think I won't be so jealous..."

"Shut up!" Yu Shaoheng suddenly got up, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Ye Xizhao turned his back to him, raised his hand as a gesture to stop him from speaking, and continued: "Shao Heng."

Because of such a soft call, his footsteps stopped, and his heart felt warm.

"I'm just disappointed, do you know?" Ye Xizhao's voice was filled with exhaustion, "Some people's disappointment is because of falling flowers, intentional flow and ruthlessness, and some people's disappointment is because of ups and downs. Look after you, live a good life, but I can't do anything right... I am a stranger to you tit for tat, no, in that case, my natal family will drag you down, make you be implicated by them, and run around to deal with the aftermath for them; I love you I have shared weal and woe with you, and now it has become like this. If I take a concubine for you, I will become a resentful and jealous woman; if I don’t take a concubine for you, I don’t talk about you, but I only talk about me. How can I be worthy of my mother for so long? Tolerance, care? It's always like this... I can't see where the happiness lies..."

"Ye Xizhao!" Yu Shaoheng stopped her in a cold voice, got behind her, leaned over her, and made her face him.

Ye Xizhao retreated unconsciously, and when he reached the big kang by the window, there was no way to retreat.She looked up and saw the furious man, his eyes were full of sharpness.

"Tell me, how did your body become like this?" Yu Shaoheng held up her face, "I hurt you, I was sorry for you, how can you blame yourself for all the faults?"

Ye Xizhao opened his mouth to speak.

Yu Shaoheng interrupted her, "It's fine if you insist on doing this, then just blame me." He gritted his teeth, "I have learned about the suffering you have suffered since Ming Xin was born. I know that in order to save the child's life, you I know that your life is in danger after giving birth. I know that my old man never complained about suffering, never complained about pain, and never complained about me."

The voice paused, and after taking a deep breath, he continued, "At that time, I was so anxious that I just wanted to end the war as soon as possible by any means, and rush back to you. I always wondered, what is the purpose of such fighting Why? If I lose you, what is the use of my military exploits? If you have to go through such hardships by yourself, what am I to you? If you can go through the most difficult Years, why do I need such a so-called reliance. From then to today, people hate me, fear me, praise me, and destroy me, all because of war. In people's hearts, no matter how bad I am, I am still an indestructible General; but in my heart, I am just an incompetent person who cannot even accompany and take care of my wife and children!"

As he spoke every sentence, Ye Xizhao's eyelashes filled with tears, and his vision became blurred.

"The letters you wrote to me are always just a few words, just a few words. I always feel very distressed. I think you don't have the energy or strength to write more words. And after you get better, it's still the same, I Then he narrowly wondered whether you started to blame me, whether you no longer have me in your heart." The words paused for a long time, and then Yu Shaoheng continued in a low voice, "I agree with that. I know how much I owe you, I spend my whole life trying to make up for it. But now you are just thinking about it—you almost lost your life for me and Mingxin, but you still keep saying that what you did was wrong...Xi Zhao, how do you want me to face you in the future? ?”

"But..." Ye Xizhao looked away, trying not to let the tears fall from his eyes, and choked up, "But the matter of the heirs is not up to us... At that time, the sighs of relatives, the gossip of outsiders, I will I can't bear it for long..." Even in the previous life, I couldn't stand the anxiety and urging from both sides of my husband's family and my mother's family, let alone now? "When I was at odds with you, I thought of giving you a concubine to prolong your heirs..." Even, I did that again and again in the previous life, "I have been retribution, and I have committed too many wrongdoings." Sorry for the mistake, I hurt you too much, no matter what, the result is still the same... No matter how hard I try, I deserve to end up miserable..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Of course, Yu Shaoheng will never know, the shadows cast on his wife by all kinds of past lives are too heavy, and it is extremely difficult to get out.He scolded her face, "No matter what kind of illness, who dares to say that it can't be cured after a few years? Why are you so anxious to worry about it? Don't say that we already have Mingxin, even if we have no children in our life, we can't be cured in court. It’s not like there’s no precedent. During the reign of the late Emperor, the governor of Liangjiang never had a son or a daughter with his first wife, and never took concubines. This is a good story that has been sung to this day, dare you say that you have never heard of it?”

"That's different. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is different from you. He doesn't have the foundation of the Marquis Mansion, and he doesn't have three generations of prosperity. Most importantly, he doesn't have a sensible sister like Shaoyun in the palace..."

"Shut up!" Yu Shaoheng raised his hand to cover Ye Xizhao's mouth, looking at her almost with fear.He tried his best to calm himself down, and when he spoke again, his voice was helpless, "I came back to accompany you. I think as long as possible, I will never leave you for so long. How can you trust me? How can you trust me?" Let me prove to you that I will only have you as a woman in my life? Shall I swear to you? When you first arrived on the island, when I asked you to return to Beijing—are you still blaming me? I Wrong, really wrong. You can punish me in any way you want, as long as you stop thinking about it..."

Ye Xizhao's tears fell on his hands.When was Yu Shaoheng so bewildered and helpless, never before was he so humble.

"Let's take a step back and talk about the child. Even if you can no longer have children, what are you afraid of?" Her tears fell on his hands, but they actually hit the softest part of his heart. He coaxed him patiently She said, "Even though the second and third brothers are concubines, they are also father's heirs. We have no choice but to adopt one of their children. If you feel uneasy, we will adopt the children of your brothers and sisters. If not, we will go to the people to find A child, why not keep it by my side? I have done a lot of things to hide the truth, and when we leave Beijing with Ming Xin for a year or two, and bring the child back, who dares to say that it is not our own flesh and blood?... "

Ye Xizhao raised his hand to cover his mouth, crying and shaking his head.

She couldn't listen to such words anymore, but Yu Shaoheng thought she still disagreed.

In the face of thousands of troops, he has never expressed his emotions; in the face of a crying wife, he has never been helpless.

He was distressed, frightened, worried, helpless...

A variety of emotions were intertwined in his heart, which finally made him irritable.

He took her hand away and asked in a cold voice: "What do you want? Do you want to live with me anymore? Ye Xizhao, let me tell you, I have no complaints about how you treat me—this marriage I forced it, and I always remember this. But even if I forced it, now that you are by my side, you don’t want to make your own decisions, and you don’t want to get me some miscellaneous women to bother me!” He said coldly Then she turned around, "Just go and ask your mother to take me a concubine, as many concubines as you can! I will enter the palace and ask for orders to go to war. In the future, you will live with your concubines, just as if I have died in battle!"

"Shao Heng!" Ye Xizhao called out to him, and burst into tears.

No matter how hard it was during pregnancy, she never cried.

No matter how painful or tired she was during childbirth, she never cried.

No matter how afraid or desperate she was of postpartum blood collapse, she never cried.

She always remembers who she is as a woman, and she always remembers that her situation is far more unpredictable than when he was born and died.

She was just disappointed, just tired.

Now she has regarded Mrs. Tai, him, and Yu Shaoyun as her close relatives, and all she thinks about are the consequences that will be brought if he does not have a male to inherit the glory.It is even more clear that adoptive heirs will cause more disputes, right and wrong, and turmoil.

He still can't just live for one person, some people, and now she is too.

It is impossible but imperative for her to bear the fact that he touches others under such strong feelings, but it is only a matter of time.

On those days when I kept my eyes open until dawn alone, on those days when I was worried that I would never see him again, my mood became negative day by day.

Slowly, I began to convince myself to accept it, and thought I could accept it.

But right now, seeing his shock and anger, hearing his words...

Yu Shaoheng heard her call, saw her face full of tears, folded back, sighed and embraced her in his arms.

Ye Xizhao sobbed and said, "Actually, before and after Ming Xin was born, I just wanted to see you again, and I didn't expect anything else. At that time, I always had the illusion that you were calling me. I always looked at the door and felt You may appear in the next moment... I remember those days, and now I always persuade myself that I should be content if I can continue to be by your side, and I can't be dissatisfied regardless of the overall situation..."

Yu Shaoheng's eyes were sour when he heard it, and he tightened his grip on her, "I don't need you to care about the overall situation, I just want you to be jealous and greedy."

"I can't tolerate other women by your side, and my heart hurts when I think about it. But my mother and Shaoyun treat me like close relatives. Your childlessness will make my mother regret for the rest of my life, and the next generation will also affect Shaoyun. Her status in the palace... Shaoyun has changed so much, one can imagine how difficult her life is, she entered the palace for you and mother..."

"Those things belong to me, you are not allowed to take it to heart." Yu Shaoheng interrupted her again, held her face up, and let her look at him, "What are you thinking about so far? Where did you put me? gone?"

"Aside from thinking about you and these things, what else can I do?" Ye Xizhao raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "I owe you so much in the first place, I wasted two years of my life somehow, I was a fool who didn't know Take care of your body in those two years... I should have given birth to you in those two years...you don't understand, you will never understand..."

Yu Shaoheng, with the rage that was about to break out again, kissed her fiercely, interrupted her words, and prevented her from thinking absurdly in his mind.

The room was quiet, only the sound of the two entangled breathing.

Her tears kept rolling down her lips, and silently slipped between their lips and teeth, adding a bit of bitterness.

"Don't cry... My heart is broken by your crying." His voice was somewhat vague and hoarse and weak.

In the Chaoshou corridor outside the door, under the window of Xici Room, Hsinchu, Zhilan, and Xia He desperately covered their mouths to prevent themselves from sobbing.

Hsinchu and Zhilan's minds kept replaying the scene of that night, so much blood, such a weak and lifeless wife...

Qiao Chen and Qiao An stood in front of them with their heads lowered, their tears falling to the ground drop by drop.

When the two sisters brought Sister Xin back, they saw three big maids ordering all the young maids and mother-in-law to return to the room in a low voice and not to go out to look around and listen.

After inquiring softly, they learned that they were ordered by Yu Shaoheng—the Lord Hou and his wife had important matters to discuss, and no one else should disturb them.

The sisters felt that there was only one thing that could trigger a serious conversation between the husband and wife.This signaled the wet nurse to bring Sister Xin back to the room, and they went to the corridor.

They are still not in the game, even if they believe that Yu Shaoheng is an affectionate person, they still can't predict that he will not mind the matter of heirs.

So, they stayed and waited and watched, thinking that if the situation came to an impasse, they would go in and say a few words of justice for Ye Xizhao.

But the facts are naturally quite different from the guesses. The husband and wife are clearly arguing for each other.

So far, no one can remain indifferent.

Qiao An took Qiao Chen's hand, and the two sisters wiped away their tears with handkerchiefs, walked down the steps slowly, and left the courtyard.

As soon as she went out, Qiao An saw a little maid hiding outside the courtyard gate, and when she saw them going out, she wanted to run away quickly.

Joan's expression turned cold, "Stop!"

The little maid didn't expect the two sisters to come out suddenly, and when she was about to leave, she was caught again. She immediately turned blue and red, and came to curtsey with fear.

Joan lowered his voice and asked, "Which room are you from?"

"Slaves... Slaves are the back garden..."
