Chapter 77
The setting sun hangs in mid-air, like a burning flame, slowly moving down the mountain, the edge of the sun is also dyed with a golden brilliance, and the surrounding yards and trees are also covered with a layer of golden sè yarn.
In July, even when the sun goes down, it is still too hot. After walking for a while, Yuxi took out her handkerchief to wipe off her sweat. Yu Xi felt a little regretful, if she had known earlier she would not have said that she would go when the sun went down, but would go tomorrow morning.
When they arrived at Pine Fragrance Courtyard, seeing Yu Xi's flushed face, Mrs. Ye immediately ordered: "Bring Si Miss a bowl of chilled sour plum soup."
Yu Xi shook her head with a smile and said: "No need, just bring me a glass of water." Yu Xi studied medicine and knew very well that women should not eat cold food, especially ice food; so Yu Xi ate Fruits are all placed in the well, and if you want to eat them, you can directly salvage them from the well. This is because there is a well in Tao Ranju, like there is no well in Rose Court, it can only be placed in a cool place.
Zisu lowered her head so that no one could see her rolling her eyes. If he really cared about it, how could he not know that her girl doesn't eat iced food?
Yuxi looked at Mrs. Ye, her complexion was not bad, and her face was also round and round. It could be seen that she was well-raised: "Sister-in-law, is there anything wrong with calling me over?"
Ye Shi didn't expect Yuxi to ask directly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a few days, and I want to talk to you."
Yuxi didn't point it out, and said: "I recently bought a few books from my second brother. Those books are very interesting, so I don't go out much."
Ye's chatted with Yu Xi, but didn't mention anything about this morning. It was Yuxi who seemed to be talking about it unintentionally, but her argument was that Han Jianming criticized her because she knew she was reading too hard, and then she took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions, so she stayed for a longer time.
Ye smiled and said, "You girl, reading too many books is not good for your eyes. On weekdays, you still need to go out more often."
After chatting for half an hour, Yu Xi bid farewell and went back.
Mrs. Ye personally sent Yuxi out of the yard, and then said: "Fourth Miss, it's becoming more and more difficult for people to see through." She has been married to Shi Ziye for three years, and she probably knows what kind of son he is. It's definitely not as simple as asking questions for Shi Ziye to keep Yuxi in his study for a whole morning.
Mrs. Hua felt a little regretful: "My grandma, if I hadn't asked Zijin to come to the Pine Fragrance Garden to get the anti-fetal medicine that day, the fourth girl would not be so indifferent now." The fourth girl used to come here every other day or two. I used to talk and chat with my grandma, but now I won't come for ten days and half a month. Mrs. Hua knew that because of what happened that night, the fourth girl had a estrangement from her grandma.
Mrs. Ye didn't blame Mrs. Hua, and said, "What does it have to do with you? You lost your sense of propriety because you were thinking about me and the child." At that time, the two of them were in the house, and they didn't know what was going on outside. So I don't know that the one who can drive away the gangsters is Zijin. If they knew, they would not make such a request and offend others for nothing.
Mrs. Hua asked: "My grandma, what should I do now? My son is too abnormal these days. Even if my mother's baby is diagnosed as a girl by the imperial physician, my son will not be so indifferent." There are many examples of blooming first and then bearing fruit. , Han Jianming's attitude made Mrs. Hua worry that he knew the truth.
Mrs. Ye rubbed her belly and said softly: "Sooner or later, the Master will know about this matter." It is impossible to keep such a big matter hidden for too long, and it is God's blessing that it can be kept hidden until now.
Mrs. Hua was really sad for Mrs. Ye: "My grandma, if the eldest son knows the truth, he will have to marry the second wife if he is not sure. Grandma, we have to make plans early?"
Mrs. Ye was a little annoyed: "We'll talk about this later." To marry a second wife, no matter what, she will have to give birth to a child before talking about it.
Now she just wants to take good care of the fetus and give birth to the child safely.
Mrs. Hua was a little hesitant, but in the end she still gritted her teeth and said, "My grandma, Madam's proposal..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ye Shi sternly: "Mother is confused, so are you also confused?" Mrs. Ye has been worried since she knew that the imperial doctor said that Ye Shi's fetus is likely to be a girl. He even thought about changing sons, that is to prepare a boy in advance, and if Ye Shi really gave birth to a daughter, he would change.
This proposal was flatly rejected by Mrs. Ye, and she even told Mrs. Ye harshly. Not to mention that her mother-in-law would watch her when she was giving birth, even the steady mother-in-law and the maidservant mother-in-law were nothing but decorations. Even if she gave birth to a girl, there are many royal families without sons in the capital, and they have never been divorced and returned home. As long as her mother's family does not fall, no one can shake her position. But if it's really a change, once the confusion of bloodlines is discovered, then she will have to be divorced.
Seeing Mrs. Ye like this, Mrs. Hua didn't dare to say anything.
After calming down, Mrs. Ye rubbed her stomach and said, "Whether this child is a boy or a girl, she is my flesh and blood. I will raise her well and make her a good person." Don't mention it again. Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking you out regardless of years of friendship." Since the incident with Ke Minjie, her mother has become more and more out of tune, and even thought of such a bad idea as a change. Her mother is confused, but she can't be confused, otherwise not only will she be destroyed, but the child in her belly will also be implicated.
Mrs. Hua's face turned pale, how could she dare to say another word.
Mrs. Ye skipped this topic and asked about the situation in Yunnan: "How is Mrs. Ke doing now?" Master Ye and Uncle Ye threw Second Master Ye to Yunnan and really let go of it, but Mrs. Ye was worried. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, people were sent to deliver things to Yunnan. These people returned to the capital two days ago, so Mrs. Ye asked this question.
Mrs. Hua said: "The people who came back said that Ke's child died on the way, and he traveled a long distance and failed to take care of his body. The root cause of the disease is now recuperating." , so Ko stayed on the way to confine her. Because Ke suspected that the child's disappearance was caused by the servants of the Ye family who followed him, he didn't dare to let these people get close.
Ke Minjie didn't sit well during her confinement, which caused a hidden danger. When she arrived in Yunnan, she wanted to ask a doctor to take good care of her body, but in such a remote place in Yunnan, it was not easy to find a doctor who was good at taking care of her body. So, Ke Minjie is still recuperating at this meeting.
A smile appeared on Ye's face: "Without her beauty and children, I want to see what will happen to her."
Mrs. Hua hesitated for a moment, but she still told Mrs. Ye the news she found when she returned to Ye's house: "Madam knew that Mrs. Ke was pregnant, and she has read the scriptures for several days."
There was no expression on Ye's face: "I knew she was reluctant to part with that child, or would it be my turn to do it?" If her mother hadn't been soft-hearted that day, she wouldn't have let her fall into such an embarrassing situation. Thinking of Lu Xiu, who was going to pass the door at the end of the year, Ye Shi felt uncomfortable all over.
Han Jianye returned to the Duke's Mansion on his business trip, and immediately went to Han Jianming's study.
Han Jianming was waiting for him in the study, and talked to him about Heshou County Lord. At the same time, he also told Han Jianye about Yuxi's idea, which made Han Jianye extremely ashamed.
The two brothers talked from sunset to late night. Han Jianye didn't go back to his yard that night, and stayed directly in Han Jianming's study.
After Yuxi knew the news, she said to Zisu: "When the second brother comes back, tell me." Yuxi didn't regret the words she said, and she would still say it again, but she didn't want to be with her second brother because of these words. There is a suspicion.
But Yuxi didn't wait for Han Jianye for several days. Han Jianye has been very busy these days, and he will not return home until very late. Yuxi is not in a hurry, if what she expected is correct, it should be that Han Jianye has also participated in the plan. Yuxi felt that this was a good thing for Han Jianye. Only through hard work can he mature faster.
This day, Yuxi got the news and knew that Han Jianye was back, so she went there immediately. But when she got to the door, she dared not go in. What she said at the time was really excessive, and I don't know if the second brother calmed down.
Zisu looked at Yuxi standing still, and asked, "Girl, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
Yuxi straightened her waist, crossed the threshold, stretched out her head and stabbed her head, and then retracted her head with a knife. At most, he would be scolded by the second brother, nothing special.
Zisu couldn't figure it out, why did she feel like her girl was on the battlefield, she looked generous and righteous.
Han Jianye was very uncomfortable when he heard Yuxi coming.
The servant girl looked at Han Jianye's appearance and asked cautiously: "Second Master, why don't you tell Fourth Miss that you are busy and let her go back."
Han Jianye said: "No, let her in!"
Yu Xi entered the study, lowered her head, and said sincerely: "Second Brother, I'm sorry."
He was told by Yuxi a few days ago that he lost all face. Now that Yuxi has softened, Han Jianye wants to show off his prestige as an older brother. Just as she was thinking about what to say, she saw Yuxi bursting into tears.
Yuxi cried and said: "Second Brother, I know I was wrong that day, I shouldn't say that about Second Brother. If Second Brother is angry, beat me up, but don't ignore me. Second Brother, I I really know I was wrong, so don't be angry, okay?"
Han Jianye is not afraid of anything, but a woman's tears. Seeing Yu Xi like this, all the prestige of her brother was thrown out of the blue: "Don't cry, I'm not angry." Han Jianye is really not angry, and he is not a person who doesn't know good and evil, Yu Xi would say that He was also doing it for his own good, but he was just a little uncomfortable. Growing up so big, this is the first time that he is so straightforwardly despised by someone, and this person is Yu Xi who he has always loved and loved so much.
With tears on her face, Yu Xi asked, "Are you really not angry?"
Han Jianye quickly shook his head and said: "Don't be angry, really not. Okay, don't cry. Let's talk about what you have to say, don't cry!" He really can't coax a girl!
Yuxi choked up and said, "I thought the second brother would ignore me again?" Han Jianye was the best person in the entire Duke's mansion to her, and she didn't want the two of them to drift apart because of this incident.
Han Jianye smiled and said, "Why? You girl, you are fine with everything, but you have a heavy heart. I have been busy these days, and I planned to see you again in two days."
Yuxi smiled through tears: "It's good that second brother doesn't get angry, in fact, I..."
Han Jianye hurriedly interrupted Yuxi: "I know you are doing it for my own good. My elder brother has already told me. Speaking of it, I can't compare to you." At least he couldn't think of such an idea as Yuxi.
