The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 68
As soon as this remark came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.

The smile on Ye Chen's face froze instantly.

Imperial Physician Liang stood up in embarrassment and said: "Old Madam, the pulse has been checked, and I will take my farewell." After saying that, he bowed his hands, turned around and left.

It is better for him to be less involved in these family grievances.

"Husband, mother is in good health, and you need to rest more. You are busy with business, so go back first!" Madam Ye looked at her husband's face and persuaded her softly.

This is by no means the time to argue.She believed that Ye Chen must have thought the same way.

Sure enough, Ye Chen stood up, glanced at Mrs. Ye, nodded and said: "Mother, you should rest early, and my son will come to see you tomorrow."

"What? Did I hit the right spot? Or did you want to take that funeral star back?" Mrs. Ye waved away the tea Ye Xiangwan handed over, and said with a sneer, "Ye Chen, let me tell you." , don't even think about it!"

"Mother, you are still weak, now is not the time to discuss these things." Ye Chen said helplessly, "My son never said that he would bring her back, so who did you hear?"

"It doesn't matter who I listen to, I want you to swear that you will never bring that mourner back!" Mrs. Ye stared at Ye Chen, and said word by word: "You promise me!"

"Mother!" Ye Chen's face darkened immediately upon hearing this.

"What?? You dare not swear?" Mrs. Ye snorted coldly.

Ye Chen had no choice but to say: "Mother, Zhaoqing is my daughter! Your own granddaughter! Why do you insist on letting her live under the fence instead of letting her come back? Can you not do this?"

"So, you must bring her back?" Mrs. Ye's complexion also sank when she heard this, her chest heaved up and down with great anger, and blue veins burst out on her forehead: "For her you don't Are you willing to want me as a mother?"

"Mother!" Ye Chen said helplessly, "If you say that again, then my son won't come back! Until you accept Zhaoqing!"

"You, what did you say?" Mrs. Ye was shocked when she heard these words: "For such a mourner, you actually, you actually..."

"Mother, my son will do what he says! If you refuse to accept Zhaoqing, your son will not come back for a day!" Ye Chen said desperately: "Whether to go or stay, it is up to the mother!"

"You! Cough cough cough..." Mrs. Ye couldn't help shaking her hands in anger, and suddenly coughed violently!

"Father, don't say a few words! Grandma just got better. If you get mad at her, my sister won't feel at ease outside!" Ye Xiangwan raised his head suddenly and begged, " Please, Dad, stop talking!"

Ye Chen glanced at her with a deep expression, but suddenly saluted Mrs. Ye, and said calmly: "Mother, please rest, my son will come to see you tomorrow." He said without giving her a chance to react, Turned around and strode out of the house.

Mrs. Ye's breath was stuck in her throat, she couldn't move up and down, her face was flushed, but she couldn't say a word, she could only watch her son leave.

After a while, she screamed fiercely: "This unfilial son, he wants to piss me off!"

The voice is sad, which makes everyone feel sad.

Ye Xiangwan, Mrs. Ye, including the big and small servants in the room, all shed tears.All of a sudden, there were cries in the house, and the happy atmosphere in the Shangli Courtyard, which was finally restored, suddenly returned to its original state. Those who didn't know it thought that Mrs. Ye's condition had deteriorated again.

"Grandmother, don't take your father's words to heart, he didn't mean it." Ye Xiangwan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and stepped forward to comfort him: "You must take care of yourself!"

Mrs. Ye's lips trembled a few times, but she couldn't utter a word. A pair of dim old eyes shot out strong resentment. She held Ye Xiangwan's hand firmly, and said almost like gnashing her teeth: " It's reversed, it's reversed! What kind of tricks did that funeral star use to make your father treat her so recklessly! Check! Find out for me what happened!"

"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law will send someone to investigate." After hearing this, Mrs. Ye hurriedly sent a few women to investigate.She herself came forward, comforting Mrs. Ye while speaking words of comfort.

Ye Xiangwan couldn't stop comforting her: "Grandmother, in fact, according to granddaughter, you shouldn't just fight with father like this, and my sister has indeed lived outside for long enough..."

"Even your elbows started to turn out?" Mrs. Ye's anger welled up again when she heard this. Who!"

Ye Xiangwan's eyes turned red when he heard this, a trace of grievance welled up in his eyes, and he sat there without saying a word.

When Mrs. Ye saw her like this, her heart softened again.Finally, he said bitterly: "All this is caused by Ye Zhaoqing, the mourner! Why doesn't she die?"

No one dared to accept this.

"Mother, it's better to rest! Your body has just improved, so don't be angry." In the end, it was Mrs. Ye who stepped forward to comfort her.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Ye suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and she quickly shouted: "Quick! Please call the imperial doctor!"

There was another commotion in Shangli Courtyard.

……

In the evening, Mrs. Ye sent someone to send away the Imperial Physician Liang who came to see a doctor. When she was sitting in front of the bed and feeding Mrs. Ye porridge, she got some common clothes and office supplies from Ye Chen and went out.

It was getting late and the lights were on. It was obvious why I chose to go out at this time and still carried my usual clothes.

"He, he actually went out to live!" Mrs. Ye once again fell on her back in anger.With a wave of her hand resentfully, she knocked the porridge bowl that Madam Ye was holding in front of her to the ground, and the warm porridge spilled all over Madam Ye.

"Quick! Come on! Change your wife's clothes!" Seeing this scene, Ye Xiangwan hurriedly ordered to the maidservants.Then he stepped forward and personally helped Mrs. Ye go down.

When she came back, Mrs. Ye was still sitting on the bed furiously, almost smashing everything within her reach.

It's not as good as serving when you're in a coma!

Ye Xiangwan's eyes flickered, but he walked forward as usual, and softly persuaded Mrs. Ye: "Grandmother, don't be angry, father might just come out for something, why should you take it seriously?" ?”

"You don't want to explain for your father!" Mrs. Ye waved her hands angrily after hearing this and said, "I know exactly what is going on!" As she spoke, her eye circles turned red.

After all, he is an old man who has just suffered from a serious illness, and has experienced this series of stimuli. At this time, he can no longer hold on.After hearing Ye Xiangwan's gentle persuasion, the sadness in Mrs. Ye's heart was instantly aroused.

Seeing this, Ye Xiangwan immediately shook his head: "Grandmother, you should think about it. My granddaughter sees you suffering so much, she really wants to suffer for you! I only hate that I don't have the ability to keep my father..."

"Don't blame yourself, it's none of your business!" Mrs. Ye shook her head, controlling the grief in her heart, stretched out her hand to stroke Ye Xiangwan's temples, and said softly: "You all go down! Let me Just be quiet by yourself."

"Grandmother!" Ye Xiangwan became impatient after hearing this, "You want to drive your granddaughter away?"

"Ah Wan, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Ye, who came back with a change of clothes, said, "Your grandmother is just upset and wants to be quiet by herself. Let's not disturb her."

"That's it!" Ye Xiangwan said, and stood up a little disappointed. She thought that Mrs. Ye would keep her by her side today to take care of something like this!

Sure enough, did she think too highly of herself?

"Grandmother, you have a good rest. Ah Wan is going to wait outside." No matter what she was thinking, when Ye Xiangwan faced Mrs. Ye, she would always look obedient and obedient. She stood up and turned to Mrs. Ye. He saluted, and then retreated to the outside room with Mrs. Ye.

That night, Mrs. Ye had a headache again, and Imperial Physician Liang was invited over overnight and was busy all night.

Ye Chen didn't get the news until the next day. He hurried back to the Hou Mansion, but what he saw was a sick Mrs. Ye lying on the bed without a trace of vitality. It's a dream.

"Mother! What's wrong with you!" Ye Chen knelt down beside Mrs. Ye's bed with a plop, his face full of remorse and worry.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ye on the bed slowly opened her tightly closed eyelids, glanced at her son with blank eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing back? You are not always for that funeral star Aren't you going back to this house? Get lost!"

After saying the last word, Mrs. Ye straightened her neck, almost hysterical.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Ye Chen said helplessly when he heard the words: "You are my mother, no matter what, my son will come back to visit you!"

"Not leaving? Then what did you mean by what you said yesterday?" Mrs. Ye said in a hoarse voice.

Ye Chen said helplessly, "Mother, you don't have to pretend any more, and you don't have to worry about your son coming back from Zhaoqing."

Mrs. Ye, including other people in the room, were stunned when they heard this sentence: "What do you mean? What do you mean don't worry?"

Ye Chen glanced at his wife who asked the question, then at Mrs. Ye who was full of shock, sighed and said, "I said no, because Concubine Rong sent someone to the Jokhang Temple early this morning. Take Qing'er into the palace personally."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a deathly silence in the room!

After a long time, Mrs. Ye asked in a trembling voice: "You, what are you talking about? Concubine Rong brought that funeral star into the palace?"

"Yes, she lives in her own bedroom." Ye Chen glanced at his mother who seemed to have been hit hard, and couldn't bear to give her another blow: "Even the emperor was alarmed by this matter."

The expression on Mrs. Ye's face changed from angry to confused and bewildered for a while, and it kept changing.

Mother is really eccentric!
Ye Chen sighed in his heart and turned his head.

At this time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ye Xiangwan's expression sitting in the lower seat.This second daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible in his impression, now had not only shock on her face, but also... jealousy.

jealous?

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.He seemed to understand something in his heart.

"Father, sister, she was really taken into the palace by Concubine Rong?" At this moment, Ye Xiangwan suddenly spoke, and his usual calm expression had already returned to his face: "This is a good thing! I and Grandma doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

Ye Chen looked at her fixedly.

Ye Xiangwan replied with a relaxed and indifferent smile, as if she really didn't care about Ye Zhaoqing being taken into the palace by Concubine Rong.

But how is this possible?

Even if Ye Chen doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the back house, he is very clear that the only thing in his heart, the second daughter, is to sit on the throne of the princess one day.Once he was very supportive of her dream.

Now it seems that this second daughter is too good at pretending.

"No! Chen'er, you should bring her back!" At this moment, Mrs. Ye who was lying on the bed suddenly said.

Ye Chen lowered his head and glanced at her when he heard the words, and was not surprised to see that Mrs. Ye no longer had the dying look just now. Obviously, she was faking it.

But what he cared more about was what she said.

"Oh? Didn't mother object to her son taking Qing'er back just now?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and replied, "For this matter, mother pretended to be ill to deceive son. Why did she suddenly change her mind now?"

"If it wasn't for the lintel and reputation of the Ye family, I wouldn't have let you pick her up at all!" Mrs. Ye sneered when she heard this, and said, "I just entered the palace like this without a name or distinction? You don't mind being ashamed Is it?"

"Why do you dislike it?" Ye Chen smiled faintly after hearing this, and said, "Concubine Rong just likes Qing'er, she just took her into the palace for a few days, why did she lose the lintel of our house? Is mother worried too much?" too much?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye looked at her son's appearance of practicing Tai Chi, and immediately snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be in front of me! Concubine Rong accepts Zhaoqing to enter the palace. What does this mean? Believe it or not, you don't know!"

"So what if I know?" Ye Chen said in a cool tone, "Can I still ask Concubine Rong directly? If my mother hadn't been so resolute in blocking me a few days ago, Qing'er might have returned home, and she wouldn't have done it at all." Such a thing will happen! To a certain extent, Qing'er is able to have today, it is entirely because of your mother!"

"When Qing'er returns to the house some other day, my son will definitely ask her to kowtow to your mother a few times to thank you for your fulfillment!"

After hearing her son's teasing words, Mrs. Ye held her breath in her heart, her face flushed red.

"Grandmother! Are you alright?" Seeing this, Ye Xiangwan hurried forward to pat Mrs. Ye's back to calm her down.

"Don't be complacent in front of me!" After finally calming down, Mrs. Ye gave Ye Chen a cold look and said, "The funeral star has never been taught since he was a child, and he doesn't know what is called etiquette, righteousness and shame! It is a good thing to enter the palace, but whether she will come back alive or ascend to a high position depends on whether she has that blessing!"

"Don't worry, this mother." Ye Chen was not annoyed at all after hearing this: "My son met Qing'er in the Jokhang Temple the day before yesterday, and felt that she treated people very well, and there was nothing wrong with her. As for the blessings! She has always been a lot!"
