Chapter 228: Untitled (3)
If he hadn't known Shaohua before, maybe he would have agreed immediately. He helped Hongyi climb to the throne so hard, for what, not to clear up his father's grievances, and soon to be able to start the bloody blade with his own hands.
It's a pity that the initiator is not a person, or even a group of people, but a conspiracy. This includes the He family, the Xu family, and even the Wang family, and almost half of the people in the imperial court are involved. He always knew in his heart who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice, and how much he had endured in order to avenge this. But after meeting Shaohua and marrying her, he no longer only cared about his mother's safety.
It's like Mrs. Yan said: "You have to leave a way back for yourself, you choose the person, and you must also protect her." β
He thought that he couldn't give happiness to his beloved, at least to this girl who was full of himself, and even selfishly thought that he didn't think about the hatred he had suppressed over the years, so it was enough to accompany Shaohua and watch her be happy and happy.
It's just that Xu Xinru's intrusion shattered his extravagant hopes and forced him to face what he least wanted to see.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I went to ask the second master." Yan Kaizhi didn't explain much in the end, and probably Shaohua couldn't listen to his explanation.
"You still said yes, didn't you?" Shaohua didn't think that if Yan Kaizhi resolutely objected, Hongyi would kill him.
At this moment, Yan Kaizhi could only sigh, "The second master doesn't allow me not to agree." And asked him to take the initiative to talk to the Xu family, which almost killed him.
"Why?" Shaohua clenched his fists, his eyes motionless as he looked at his expression.
Yan Kaizhi lowered his head and looked at the girl's sincere and bright eyes, and the eyes washed by tears were always particularly shining. He couldn't hold back, hugged her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "The Xu family's request is that you will either be taken away, or she will be accepted as a concubine." He clearly felt the body of the person in his arms freeze, and he hurriedly added, "They know that I can't divorce you." β
"Isn't there a third option?" Unexpectedly using this method, Xu Xinru was really crazy.
Yan Kaizhi saw that she was slowly regaining her composure, and he was also exhausted by this incident, in order to hide Shaohua, and in order to intercede with Hongyi, he didn't sleep peacefully for several nights. Especially when he thought that he had to confess to Shaohua, he felt a pain in his head, although Shaohua's tears were expected by him, but he would still feel distressed when he really saw it.
"If so, would I agree? Shaohua, my lady, I never think I'm a decent gentleman, but what I say, I will definitely do it. I promised to marry you and stay with you for the rest of my life, and I will definitely do it. He was not so naΓ―ve to think that anything in the world could be done as he wanted, and that there was always a price to pay for it.
Shaohua was also tired of crying, and couldn't help laughing: "The price of your life with me is that you have to take her as a concubine?" β
"I'll never touch her!" Yan Kaizhi's tone was resolute.
Xu Xinru voluntarily bumped into the chips, and he didn't plan to break the whole game of chess for this chip.
"I want to be alone for a while." Shaohua pushed him away, Yan Kaizhi refused, she was as bright as nails like a kitten, but instead of inserting it into the back of his hand, it was embedded in her own hand, which frightened Yan Kaizhi to let go immediately. She lowered her head, didn't even look at Yan Kaizhi, and walked in the direction of the house step by step.
"Madame......" Mama Rong, who was hiding from the side and eavesdropping, greeted her distressedly.
"Mama, don't tell me anything, I want to go back to sleep." Shaohua didn't open her mouth to Mama Rong and continued to walk forward.
Yan Kaizhi just stood in place, watching Shaohua leave his sight, and his eyes fell on Mama Rong, but unfortunately Mama Rong only bowed slightly, and then turned around and left. He secretly clenched his fists and glanced in the direction of Mrs. Yan's house, but did not move, but turned to go out.
Shaohua didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he woke up, it was already dark.
Chu He and Youhan both stood next to her with red eyes, startling her, hearing them intermittently think that Shaohua was stunned by anger, and they couldn't wake up, so nervous that they sent someone to find a doctor. As a result, the doctor hadn't been invited yet, but they heard Shaohua's sleeping snoring, which made them angry and funny. At this moment, Shaohua finally woke up, and their hearts fell again.
Rouwan's arrival was indeed to convey the news in the palace to the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion, and Yan Kaizhi was required to complete it within a month.
When Mrs. Yan heard this, she sneered three times, saying that she hadn't hurt her daughter-in-law enough, but others were nervous about her. Rouwan knew Mrs. Yan's temperament, so she didn't argue with her, and left after saying a few words. And Xu Xinru didn't dare to see Mrs. Yan at all, she was frightened by Yan Kaizhi's appearance just now, and she didn't know what Mrs. Yan would do to her.
But let her give up now, she is unwilling in her heart, things have come to this point, how can she say give up and give up.
As soon as they left, Yan Kaizhi was called back and hid in Mrs. Yan's house for at least two hours. No one knew what their mother and son were talking about, and the door didn't open until Bidie went to inform Shaohua to wake up, but both mother and son looked dignified and tired.
"Wu Niang, I know you feel uncomfortable, but it's a foregone conclusion, you can see it." Mrs. Yan felt a little sorry for Shaohua, and at first comforted her that she could ask for her, but she didn't expect such a stupid son to be on the stall, and he was cut off first.
After Shaohua woke up, he was in good spirits, as if nothing had happened, he ate an extra bowl of white rice at dinner, and touched his stomach and said that this was the amount of food for the child. When the others saw her laughing, they were all relieved and started to play.
The only thing that can prove that Shaohua has not lost his memory or become stupid is that Shaohua insists on refusing to let Yan Kaizhi eat with her.
The whole of the Xingyong Marquis Mansion knows what the relationship between the Hou Ye and his wife is, not to mention a meal, and they will find someone if they can't see a cup of tea. Now it was Shaohua who took the initiative to ask Yan Kaizhi not to appear at her dinner table, and everyone sighed in their hearts. Now that he is full of food and drink, Shaohua is coquettish next to Mrs. Yan, but Yan Kaizhi is serious and in danger, which makes people feel that Shaohua and Mrs. Yan are the mother and daughter.
"A-Niang, she knows ......" Yan Kaizhi saw Shaohua lowering his head and playing with his fingers, but he didn't hear Mrs. Yan's words, so he couldn't help but make excuses for her.
But it provoked Mrs. Yan's eyes, and she scolded her son angrily: "You shut up for me!" Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking, what are you talking about, or you hook up with your mother-in-law, how can you provoke this. Yan Kaizhi's face did not change, his eyes were fixed on his toes, and the others were either smiling or surprised, in short, no one dared to spoil the atmosphere. Only Shaohua wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, his eyes looked at Yan Kaizhi's side face calmly and deeply.
"Auntie, I'm fine, I know that my husband is also forced to do so." When Mrs. Yan finished getting angry, Shaohua immediately gave Mrs. Yan a good breath and comforted her with a smile. It's just that this "husband" made Yan Kaizhi feel more uneasy than Mrs. Yan's words, he squinted his eyes at Shaohua, but Shaohua just didn't look at him.
Mrs. Yan originally wanted to use a man's three wives and four concubines to comfort Shaohua, but thinking about it, she didn't care about it, so she could only sigh in the end: "It's good that you know, I won't tell you, I am more reluctant than you for the Xu family to come in and dirty my house." But for the sake of this daughter, the Xu family dared to give up most of Pingzhou, I don't know what their purpose is, but they still have an advantage over you. β
Only then did Shaohua know that the Xu family was so risky to contribute to Xu Xinru's back, no wonder Yan Kaizhi would be embarrassed like this, but he was afraid that Hongyi would be more like agreeing than him. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but throw him a look, which made Yan Kaizhi feel pleasantly surprised.
Only, for a moment, she withdrew her gaze, not wanting to look at him, at least not at the moment.
When Mrs. Yan saw her bow her head, she thought it was psychological grievance, and immediately patted her chest for her, "She is willing to be a concubine, then let her understand the identity of a concubine, you have children, a husband, and me, I'm afraid she won't be a concubine." β
"Thank you, Auntie, I know how to do it." Shaohua smiled and looked at Mrs. Yan gratefully.
She is an optimistic and pessimistic person, pessimistic because she always suffers from gains and losses, and optimistic because she will soon find a way to survive even if she is left in a desperate situation. As Mrs. Tong Yan said, Xu Xinru is just a concubine even if she enters the door, no matter how powerful her mother's family is, she is an aunt when she enters the door, and she can't be overpowered.
Especially since he was a child, he has been bathed in Mrs. Xin's methods of training concubines, and has seen the ups and downs of the Su family, even if Shaohua is an idiot, he knows how to deal with it. She will let Xu Xinru know what a self-inflicted decision it is to be a concubine voluntarily.
Mrs. Yan was relieved when she saw Shaohua open her heart knot, she was also relieved, she regarded Shaohua as half Laneige in her heart, and naturally her heart was more biased. "That's good, now you just need to take good care of your body, and you are not afraid to worry about family affairs, if she dares to bully you, I will make the decision for you." Shaohua nodded gratefully, and she smiled: "Okay, let's go back, people with double bodies can't stay up late." β
When Yan Kaizhi heard this, he immediately got up cautiously and supported Shaohua.
Originally, Shaohua refused to touch him, but Yan Kaizhi wrapped his big hand and held her tightly in his arms Shaohua glared at him resentfully, Yan Kaizhi pretended not to see it, and after greeting his mother, he left with Shaohua.
The lights of the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion gradually went out, and everyone wanted to treat today's incident as a farce, but when they heard Yan Kaizhi ordering people to clean up a small courtyard near Mrs. Yan's residence, saying that they were going to live for Xu Xinru, everyone's hearts sank again. This is not a farce, this house will soon have strangers come in, although it will not have a big impact on those of them below, but the master is in a bad mood, and they will also suffer.
From this point of view, no one in the entire Xingyong Marquis Mansion welcomed Xu Xinru's arrival, and she regretted it temporarily, and then she didn't marry.
Lin took off Mrs. Yan's coat, helped her to sit firmly on the bed, twisted a towel and handed it over, and said softly: "Mrs. Tai, the Xu family is really bold enough." But Mrs. Yan didn't answer, buried her face in the towel, and didn't raise her head for a while.
Lin almost thought that he was going to be scolded for saying the wrong thing, and was about to kneel on the ground to ask for blame, when Mrs. Yan slowly raised her head, her eyes becoming firm and cold.
"You beg to find Zhaocheng back for me, I want to see him." Mrs. Yan felt like she had been bitten by something, and she was a little miserable and painful.
"But Mrs. Tai...... Be. Lin didn't seem to understand her words, and halfway through his mouth, he agreed dejectedly.
