Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 137

In the final analysis, scolding Mrs. Xu is just a disguised form of scolding myself who was obsessed with obsession.

The third lady hurried into the Nuan Pavilion, ignoring the presence of all the stewards, and begged aloud: "Sister-in-law, I want to go back to my mother's house immediately, I..." At this point, her voice choked up, "My parents Shuangshuang fell ill in bed, I want to go back and have a look."

Ye Xizhao raised his head and saw that her eye circles were red and her eyes were full of anxiety, so he hurriedly said, "I'll order someone to prepare a carriage for you immediately."

"Thank you sister-in-law!" The third lady bowed her knees and said goodbye, "Then I'll go back to my room and get ready."

Ye Xizhao saw that the third wife was not as clear-headed as usual, so he said again: "If there is anything that needs help, write it down one by one, and come back and tell Tai Furen and me."

At first, the third lady wanted to reject the kindness, but later she realized that her mother’s family is now equivalent to having no one who is in charge of the family. What kind of chaos may become, and everything will be difficult to handle, so she thanked again, "I will write it down, I am afraid In the future, I will have to bother my sister-in-law."

When saying hello in the evening, before the third wife came back, Ye Xizhao told Mrs. Tai about the illness of the Guan family couple.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Tai said: "Then you will work hard tomorrow and visit Guan's house for me."

Ye Xizhao nodded in response.

When Yu Shaohuan heard about it when he came back, he immediately got up and said, "I'll go to see my father-in-law's house."

Mrs. Tai nodded and said: "Hurry up, Si Niang has many sisters in her family, but her brother only has a ten-year-old boy. You go and help Si Niang take care of some things."

Yu Shaohuan said he was going out.

Before Ye Xizhao took a rest, the third wife and Yu Shaohuan came back.Regardless of the darkness of the night, the third lady went to see Ye Xizhao,
After being seated, the third lady said: "To tell you the truth, sister-in-law, my father and mother were frightened and angry, and we need to be more cautious in prescribing the prescription. But I asked the servants, and I learned that my father and mother had taken the medicine for two days. But she didn't look good at all, and it got worse. Therefore, I would like to ask my sister-in-law, can I invite Qiao Chen to my natal home. Although Qiao Chen is well-known, he has always tried his best to diagnose and treat people, but because of my sister-in-law and her Since we are acquainted, I feel that it is safer to have you to help me."

Ye Xizhao responded straightforwardly: "Since you trust Qiao Chen's medical skills, I will naturally help you and invite her to the Guan Mansion." At this point, seeing that the third wife wanted to get up to thank her, she hurriedly gestured to stop her. "See what's wrong with you? Thank you at every turn, it's really not the third sibling I know."

The third lady wanted to give a grateful smile, but almost shed tears, "My parents are very ill, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing, I am not afraid of sister-in-law's jokes, I have already lost my mind, I am thinking wildly all day long, and always I think it's not real, it's just my nightmare..." She turned her head to look in the direction of the dormitory, fearing that Yu Shaoheng would be inside, so it would be inappropriate to talk to Ye Xizhao.

"Master Hou hasn't come back yet, so sit down with peace of mind." Ye Xizhao reached out and picked up the teacup from the third lady's hand and put it in her hand, "Drink some water first, and eat something after returning to the room. Do you still have something to eat tomorrow?" Little things."

The third lady nodded, drank a few sips of water, and finally looked a little relieved.When he put down the teacup, he smiled uncomfortably, "It is only now that I know that the Guan family can only help the Hou family for a while, after that, it is all up to the Hou family to take care of it, and even the future is controlled by the Hou family. I think Thinking about the foolish things I did before... No one in the Hou Mansion bears any grudges, even because of the third master, I am extremely grateful."

Ye Xizhao also responded with a smile, "Aren't you just looking for trouble if you only stick to the memories of the past?" Then he said, "If you have any worries or worries about your natal family, go and ask the third master to see if he knows anything about it." Affection."

The third lady said softly: "I will." Right now, the person she is most afraid of seeing is Yu Shaoheng, fearing that he will feel disgusted by his natal family because of his own fault, so he won't be able to sit still, and after a few gossiping words, he will get up and make a speech.

Ye Xizhao didn't want to keep him anymore.

When the third lady returned to the room, Yu Shaohuan had ordered the small kitchen to prepare meals. He was sitting at the dining table, waiting for her while reading a book. When he heard her footsteps approaching, he put the book aside and said softly, "Eat something with me." .”

"Okay." In fact, he just wanted to accompany her out of kindness, but he just said that deliberately, how could she not hear it.

Yu Shaohuan ate slowly, and said to her in the middle: "Tomorrow, you tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law that the Guan family will not be affected this time, and let them just relax. If I said the words, they might think that I was speaking to comfort them."

He was able to say that, of course he learned it from Yu Shaoheng.The third madam fell to the ground with a huge stone in her heart, and took a long breath. At first, she was distressed and angry at her parents, but after thinking about it, she also knew that if she were herself now, she might have trouble sleeping and eating.

In the past few years, the Guan family was famous for being well-rounded in official circles, no matter how serious the partisan disputes were, it would not affect the status of the Guan family.Those who are lower than the Guan family will neither look down on nor despise; those with equal status are courteous and friendly; those with high status, because of their many connections, can always use various methods to open up a channel to make friends with dignitaries.One of the passages is naturally to move people's hearts with gold and silk.And the money that the rich and powerful like the emperor's relatives and relatives could put in their eyes was naturally a lot of money.

No matter how good the Guan family is at running the outer courtyard, how much assets can they have in their hands?A lot of money, naturally, is like giving away, it is ill-gotten wealth.

The contacts managed by means and status are relatively stable; those managed by money are very fragile.

Recently, the emperor has launched a drastic campaign to punish corrupt officials. Even the in-laws of the Yongping Houfu will still be in trouble after all.But the Xu family's accident became the last straw that broke the camel's back, making her parents almost collapse in fear...

Because of Yu Shaohuan's loud reminder, she suppressed these thoughts.

What Yu Shaoheng reminded her was naturally about those ill-gotten gains: "After my father-in-law recovers, my eldest brother will tell him how to deal with it. Although others intend to impeach my father-in-law, they can't produce evidence that can stand on the stage. Don't worry."

Those credentials are not in Yu Shaoheng's hands, but in Xiao Xun's.The third lady knew this even if she was confused today, she was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and said: "I have written all these down, and I will tell them tomorrow."

Yu Shaohuan looked at her for a moment, then asked puzzledly: "Can't these make you feel at ease?" She was obviously getting more and more depressed.

"No, no." The third lady shook her head again and again, hesitated for a while before saying, "I was just thinking, will you despise me and the Guan family even more?"

Yu Shaohuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled softly, "I went to my father-in-law's house tonight, and I saw a group of children who were really worried about them surrounded by the hospital bed."

"..." The third lady couldn't react for a moment.

Yu Shaohuan had no choice but to explain again: "People who value the word filial piety so much have something wrong and should not be taken lightly." After a pause, he glanced at her again, "The same is true for women with filial piety."

The third lady looked back at him, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a smile.

While Yu Shaohuan and the third wife frequently went in and out of the customs house, Mrs. Tai and Ye Xizhao tried their best to help the third lady solve some big and small affairs.

Besides, what Ye Xizhao is working on is the marriage between Zhilan and Chang'an.The original wedding date was postponed to the eve of the Spring Festival, and the culprits were Yu Shaoheng and Chang An—the former wanted to take care of Chang An out of selfishness, and the assigned tasks were naturally very important or difficult; the latter was out of selfishness. No matter what, loyalty must be worthy of Yu Shaoheng's painstaking efforts, insisting that all the important things at hand must be done first before starting a family.

Hence, Ye Xizhao and Chang'an's parents are the only ones who can't laugh or cry among them.

Naturally, Ye Xizhao did not forget to explain the reason to Zhilan in detail, for fear that the girl would be so angry that she would not want to marry.Fortunately, Zhilan's temperament is much gentler now, and she really understands Chang'an's feelings - if Ye Xizhao cannot leave her at this time, she would rather postpone her marriage than live up to the love of her master and servant for many years.

On the other side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, regarding the matter of the Xu family, the Meng family only asked Yao's mother to pass the word a few times to let Ye Xizhao just rest assured, and said that the weather is cold, so there is no need to run around, and it is better to stay at the in-law's house to take care of the house. right way.

Ye Xizhao was confused at first, not knowing why his mother had such an attitude, but later, after listening to Yao's mother telling the truth about two things, he felt relieved——

Luo Yuanhua's second brother and Xu's father were the first to be punished by the emperor: when they are released from prison, they will be released from prison, and they will be punished with death, but they will be demoted to common people, and will not be hired for life.Xu's father had a hard time in prison, and when he returned home, he had to face the tragedy of his family's desolation and was bedridden with illness.Naturally, Xu's mother was not much better, she was just supporting the family to survive.

Under such a premise, Mrs. Xu had to visit her natal family frequently, and used her own money to supplement her natal family and buy household items.The Meng family was happy to see the success of this, and took back Xu's right to preside over Zhongfu, and took care of everything in person, and asked Fang Fei to help out from time to time-this was the first time that the Meng family made it clear after the Xu family's accident. a move.

And Meng's second move was to let Xu go back to her mother's house to live for a while, while Brother Tao stayed in her room, and she taught her carefully—this was her real punishment for Xu.

Yao's mother explained: "Madam thinks that people with bad conduct and ignorance are not qualified to teach their grandchildren. This is a painful experience. The reason why Madam doesn't let you go back is to avoid people misunderstanding you to intervene. It's about the inner house of the prime minister's mansion."

After hearing this, Ye Xizhao thought carefully about how her mother's mood must have been ups and downs during this period of time, and how much suffering she had been through. All that was left in her heart was worry and sadness. She cleared her throat to make her voice normal: "Then Trouble Mom, bring me some supplements back home. Tell Madam, what she misses most about me will be resolved after a while, and let her not worry about me."

Mother Yao has served Meng Shi for many years, how could she not know what Meng Shi misses about Ye Xizhao the most, hearing these words, her eyes light up.
