Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 98

"Come on, follow me to see the steward. You don't remember which room you are in, but the steward will never forget."

When the little servant girl heard the words, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees immediately, and said in a trembling voice: "This servant is, is in the third lady's room, please forgive me..."

Qiao Chen was surprised, then looked at Qiao An.Joan immediately gave her another surprise——

"Let's go back."

The little servant girl was still in shock a moment ago, worried that she would be punished, but now she was at a loss when she heard this.

"If you don't want to be beaten, don't mention this to others." Joan walked away.

Qiao Chen followed and asked doubts: "Where are you singing? The people in the third lady's room are outside the courtyard of the main room, and they are clearly here to observe the movement of the main room."

"So what?" Qiao An didn't take it seriously, "At most, I could only vaguely hear the husband and wife arguing. The third lady wants to know, so let the little girl go back and tell."

"..."

Qiao An said disdainfully: "The third wife is just like me, but she is just a marriage between two families, but she has no self-knowledge. Xi Zhao is not a soft persimmon, and there is Lord Hou here, what kind of disturbance can the third wife make?"

"That's right." Qiao Chen thought for a moment, then felt relieved, "Rather than keep things as usual, it's better to let her make some troubles, so that Xi Zhao can host the show—it's better for her to be busy with more things, so as not to waste time." Think about those unpleasant things." Then he thought of something again, a little puzzled, "When the third lady was in her boudoir, you also kept in touch with her."

Qiao An laughed straight after hearing this, "That's not Hou Ye's idea, let Xiao Xun lead the line between the Guan family and the Hou family. Xiao Xun will naturally let me associate with the Guan family, you still think I am really with the Guan family. Guan Siniang has some affection?"

Qiao Chen was relieved, "I understand now." Then he looked at Qiao An inquiringly, "Xi Zhao made mistakes first, and he tried his best to make up for it first, and only then did the current situation of deep love between husband and wife come about."

"Speak straight."

"Let's forgive others. Let's forgive others. If you take a step back, maybe Hugh will raise your eyebrows. It's the two who continue to suffer so much." Qiao Chen said sincerely, "Even if you still remember something about Xiao Xun, you might as well think about what Master Hou said. Words——he can always remember that he insisted first, and he will accept no matter how he is treated."

Joan was thoughtful, but didn't speak.

The husband and wife in the principal room embrace each other quietly at this time.

Ye Xizhao's tears finally stopped.

Yu Shaoheng said in her ear: "I went to my mother's room earlier and told you about the torture you suffered outside and that your body needs to be recuperated. After hearing this, my mother was so distressed that she shed tears and said that she would help you take care of yourself carefully." Three to five years, nothing else was mentioned. Mother is not in a hurry to think about children, what are you so anxious about, you little fool? After a few years of peace and stability, we will make plans at that time. I also asked Qiao Chen, She said that she would stay in the capital in the future and asked me to collect more medical books for her. Nothing is absolute. Don't think about the worst, okay?"

Ye Xizhao nodded slightly.

Yu Shaoheng turned his face sideways and licked her lips, "Think about me, huh?"

Ye Xizhao sniffed, "I think, every day."

"At the earliest, I will rest until the spring of next year, so I can be with you well." After speaking, he threatened again solemnly, "If you think about it, don't blame me for leaving you and Mingxin behind and stay at the border."

Ye Xizhao wrapped his arms around his neck, "It won't happen. It really won't happen."

Yu Shaoheng covered her lips again, the kiss was less domineering and more lingering.

He knew that she had endured too much experience alone, and she had some unresolved knots in her heart, and he needed him to help her ease them slowly.

When each other's breathing became short of breath, Ye Xizhao looked away, "I still have to go to my mother's room to say hello." Then he rubbed his face helplessly, "I also have to clean up, how can I see people like this?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled and looked at the sky, "I'll call the maid to report to the maiden's room, and have dinner later. There's no rush."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Hsinchu Zhilan helped Ye Xizhao clean up and take care of her makeup, while Yu Shaoheng turned to see Sister Xin.

Today is the day for the family reunion in the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Tai has already ordered the third wife to prepare a sumptuous meal in the kitchen.

Mrs. Tai felt a little depressed, and said to take a rest first, and wait for Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao to come over before calling her up.

The second wife, Yu Shaoqian sat on the big kang facing the window in the Xici room and teased brother Hao, while Yu Shaohuan sat on the grand master's chair and drank tea.The third lady sat upright in the hall, glanced at Ding Xiang standing outside the hall door from time to time, and Ding Xiang looked at the courtyard door from time to time.

The figure of a little maid appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Ding Xiang hurried over, and the two whispered to each other.

Ding Xiang returned to the third lady and whispered in her ear.

After listening to the third lady, she smiled and said softly: "There is a dispute, I'm afraid I can't come?" Then she pressed her stomach and frowned, "I'm a little hungry, I don't know when I can eat.... "

Before finishing speaking, the third lady saw Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao walk in the door.

The third lady's expression immediately became respectful, she got up and went forward to salute.

Yu Shaoheng nodded, then glanced at the anxious Ding Xiang, and when he turned to go to the East Room, he said: "How can idlers enter and leave the Mrs. Tai's room."

Ding Xiang naturally understood that this was talking about herself, and her face turned pale for a moment, and she bowed her head and retreated.

The third lady's expression froze, and it took a while before she smiled again, and turned to Xici, only Yu Shaoqian and others were there.

Mrs. Tai turned to the east room, and while the three couples came forward to salute, they took a few careful glances at Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao.

Yu Shaoheng occasionally glanced at Ye Xizhao with very soft eyes. Ye Xizhao was wearing a snow-blue shirt and dress, with light makeup on, his bright eyes glistening, and a smile on his lips.

Mrs. Tai smiled, "Let's set the meal."

The three daughters-in-law all claimed that they were, and went to order someone to pass on the meal.

When setting out the meal, the third lady looked at Ye Xizhao from time to time, thoughtfully.Didn't she make Master Hou angry?Right now, it's as if nothing happened to the two of them.

Seeing this, the second lady smiled and asked the third lady: "Why do the third siblings always stare at the sister-in-law?"

Ye Xizhao looked at the third lady when he heard the words, and asked the second lady with a smile, "Really?"

After a moment of embarrassment, the third lady smiled and said, "I'm looking at Bu Yao on my sister-in-law's head, it's so pretty."

The second lady and Ye Xizhao didn't answer, they just looked at each other and smiled.

After eating, the third lady and the others talked with Mrs. Tai for a while, then said that there was something else to do, and went back to the room first.

Yu Shaohuan also got up to give his speech, and then looked at Yu Shaoheng apologetically, "I will talk to my brother tomorrow."

Yu Shaoheng looked at Yu Shaohuan with a much gentler expression than before, nodding and smiling.

Mrs. Tai smiled and waved her hands, "You go."

The husband and wife returned to the room, the third lady sat at the kang table and drank tea, while Yu Shaohuan sat cross-legged on the arhat bed and read a book.

The third lady asked: "In two days, do you want to invite famous opera troupes to come to the mansion for a concert? At that time, invite more people to come. Although Lord Hou declined the emperor's reward and resigned from his official position, he has made great military achievements after all." , the imperial concubine is favored again, even if only the Marquis, we are also a famous family."

After reading a page of the book, Yu Shaohuan answered after turning the page: "Brother is recuperating at home because of a new injury and old illness. What kind of concert are you singing?" His voice was quite cold.

The third lady's heart tightened, she didn't know what kind of temper he was throwing, "Then...what do you think?"

Yu Shaohuan's attitude was straightforward, "Thank you behind closed doors. The family members of officials who come and go with you on weekdays will be less likely to be taken to the Hou's mansion in the future."

The third lady turned pale when she heard the words, and said with restraint: "What did you say? What happened to the female relatives who were with me? Don't they deserve to enter the Marquis' Mansion?"

Yu Shaohuan looked at her with a gentle smile, but nodded and said, "That's right."

The third lady endured and endured, and sneered softly for a long time, "You are right to think so. Your eldest brother is back, why do you need to take care of my mother's side?"

Yu Shaohuan seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, "After a while, elder brother will be in better health, you should hand over the inner house affairs to sister-in-law as soon as possible." After that, without waiting for her to respond, he said, "I heard people say that you must Open a shop outside? Just think about it, it’s not feasible.” Yu Bi put the book aside, took a sip of tea, and looked at her with a half-smile.

Anger appeared on the third lady's face, "Don't forget, when the Hou Mansion was in turmoil, when your second brother was being suppressed, who helped you to ask my father to find a way out for you! How did you help me? Have you forgotten?"

"I caught up with Enke that year, so I could be promoted with the support of my father-in-law. Without such a premise, I would be useless. The one my father-in-law wants to help with all his strength is the second elder brother—no matter who he is, he can help the Hou family as soon as possible." Can."

The third lady didn't understand, she blinked blankly.

"This marriage is in the hands of my elder brother." Yu Shaohuan lightly dropped this sentence, and said, "Go back to your mother's house tomorrow and ask carefully how you got married into the Hou's mansion."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the book again and read it intently.

The third lady tried her best to think about what he said, her expression slowly turned into surprise, and then unbelievable.

how can that be possible?
How could Lord Hou have expected the ups and downs of the Hou Mansion so early?How could it be possible that her natal family, who had chosen her so early, wanted to marry her?

If so, what is she?
Yu Shaohuan asked her to go back to her natal home to inquire...

What did her parents think of her again?Is it just as an object to cling to the powerful?
She doesn't believe it!No matter how high the official position is, Lord Hou is only in his 20s. How could he have such foresight and city.

Regardless of Yu Shaohuan's presence, she ordered her servant girl to prepare to return to her mother's house tomorrow.

Main room.

Xu is the nature of father and daughter, and sister Xin is obediently held by Yu Shaoheng, playing with the jade pendant on his waist wholeheartedly.

Ye Xizhao's heart warmed when he saw it, so he turned to do embroidery for a while, and then took a bath to give the big and the small time to get close.

When I returned to the room, I heard Sister Xin giggling.Looking at each other with narrowed eyes, I saw Yu Shaoheng lying lazily on the bed, raising and lowering Miss Xin's small body slightly.

Seeing Ye Xizhao's figure, Yu Shaoheng let Sister Xin lie on his chest and stroked her head, "Mother is back."

With a smile that never dissipated, Sister Xin tried to stand up with her hands on her hands.Obviously, want to continue playing with him.

Ye Xizhao smiled and called the wet nurse to take Sister Xin to rest, Sister Xin was full of reluctance.

Yu Shaoheng got up with sister Xin in his arms, and paced back and forth in the room.After patting gently with her hands for a long time, Sister Xin gradually became tired, and then she was taken away by the wet nurse.

Ye Xizhao made the bed himself and said, "Go wash and change clothes, you've been busy all day, are you tired?"

"Ah."

After the two rested, Yu Shaoheng took Ye Xizhao into his arms.

Ye Xizhao looked at him with little confidence, and wanted to ask him if he was still angry.

Yu Shaoheng put his hand around her waist and kissed her forehead, "How is it going?"

"It's all right. It's been a while since I took my medicine."

Yu Shaoheng's hand slipped into her skirt, and he swam back and forth against her waist, his voice was intangibly ambiguous, "Do you have the strength to deal with it?"

Ye Xizhao blushed slightly, and gave him a reproachful look, "I'm just a little weak now."

Yu Shaoheng's gestures became more presumptuous, he turned around and hugged her under his body, and softly kissed her eyelids, lips, and transferred to her fair neck and delicate collarbone.

Opening up her skirt, removing her undergarment, as her eyes fell, her fingers moved inch by inch.

The two plump places are still flexible, the lower abdomen is still flat and tight, and the waist is still slender and soft.

That ordeal did not leave any traces on her body, and the pain remained in her heart.

His kiss became softer and tenderer, full of pity.

Ye Xizhao's eyes lingered on his newly added scars.To him, they were all innocuous minor injuries, but in her eyes they were different.With her hands on his back, she slightly closed her eyelids, and used her fingertips to search for any scars on his back.His exceptionally gentle and patient teasing gradually made her soft and trembling, and she forgot her original intention.Immediately, she flinched a little, turned her face away, and glanced at the lamp beside the bed.

He leaned forward and turned off the light before asking, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xizhao said dully: "I'm not used to it."

Yu Shaoheng chuckled, "Aren't you used to this?"

Ye Xizhao wrapped his arms around his neck in embarrassment, and muttered, "It's been too long, I'm going to forget about it."

Yu Shaoheng let out a low laugh, "Let me help you remember."

In this way, the lovesickness and infatuation deeply buried in the skin, bones and blood of each other ignited into a fire, overwhelming them violently.

The next day, the emperor's imperial decree arrived at the Hou's mansion—rewarding Yongping Hou with ten thousand taels of gold, one thousand acres of fertile land, and many other gold, silver, jewels, and precious medicinal materials.

Yu Shaoheng took the order to thank you.

Afterwards, he and Ye Xizhao took Sister Xin to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they went there with a debt to her parents from the bottom of their hearts - he failed to take good care of their beloved daughter.

Ye Shuxuan, the Meng family, and their children were all happy from the bottom of their hearts. At noon, Ye Xizhao stayed in the inner house for dinner, while Yu Shaoheng was called to the flower hall by Ye Shuxuan, and had a drink with him with his two sons, Ye Xihan and Ye Xilang.

Before dusk, I went back to the Marquis Mansion, entered the Chuihua Gate, and saw the third lady who had just returned from her natal home.

The third lady was a little restless at the moment.She went back to her natal home and questioned her mother for a while, but her mother didn't know anything and just advised her to leave men's affairs alone.When my father waited until he returned home, he didn't see anyone.

Hearing the servant girl's reminder, she quickly turned around and saw Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xizhao.

Yu Shaoheng's expression was still cold, and Ye Xizhao's expression was still calm and indifferent.

After the husband and wife left surrounded by a group of entourages, the third wife fixedly looked at Yu Shaoheng's back.

If what Yu Shaohuan said is true, then Yu Shaoheng does not have the city that a man in his 20s should have, and he is clearly scheming.Now that he is recuperating at home because he is sick, I am afraid it is just because he is too popular to avoid being said to be a master of meritorious service?
After that, she looked at Ye Xizhao's back again.

If what Yu Shaohuan said is true, then does Ye Xizhao know the reason?If she knew, wouldn't she be a joke in her eyes?Previously, he didn't interfere with her hosting the media, and didn't mind how she behaved at all. Did it mean that he was out of the generosity of being under the same roof, or did he simply disdain to compete with her?
If it is true, how will she deal with herself in the future?
