Chapter 217 Cold Palace

On the way to Mrs. Yan's yard, Shaohua had ten guesses in his heart. Bo Yan was right, and her temper should be restrained. However, her temper was not raised by Pu'an. No matter how wronged she was in the Li family, she didn't even say a word when she was trampled on by Jinhua. Therefore, she was also scared by her own impulse. She just said what she said and poured out the water. She didn't know that she could not keep Yan Kaizhi's departure, and she also knew that Yan Kaizhi would never stay.

If she will be retired from home in less than half a year, she will probably not be able to stay in Beijing in her life, and even the Li family will be ashamed with her.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she stepped into Mrs. Yan's room, her face was ugly, but she did not immediately get angry.

She walked over and knelt in front of Mrs. Yan. "My daughter-in-law has just made a big mistake. Please punish her." She closed her eyes and thought that even if she was insulted or beaten, she had to put up with it.

"Well, how do you want me to punish you?" Mrs. Yan's voice was so cold that she could freeze the earth three feet. She patted the table again, "It's ridiculous!"

Shaohua squeezed his lips, straightened up, and waited motionlessly for Mrs. Yan's punishment.

For a long time, Mrs. Yan said in a hard voice, "I want to kneel in the Buddhist hall."

I thought that Mrs. Yan would scold her severely or directly let her go back to her mother's house. Hearing Mrs. Yan's words, Shaohua immediately kowtowed to her gratefully. He got up and turned to the Buddhist hall, but heard Mrs. Yan say behind him, "Other people are not allowed to follow. They are not allowed to come out without my permission."

Shaohua asked Chu He and the others to retreat and walked to the backyard Buddhist hall by themselves.

Because Mrs. Yan usually salutes the Buddha quietly, she can smell a thick sandalwood as soon as she enters the door. Probably because of the west, the Buddhist hall is quiet and cool, but it just makes people calm.

She walked in with the corner of her skirt, but was scared by the figure kneeling in front of the Buddhist niche. She thought that only she would be punished, but she didn't expect Yan Kaizhi to be one step ahead of her and came directly depending on the situation.

It's just that she just made trouble. Yan Kaizhi knelt down.

Shaohua hesitated for a moment, squeezed his lips, walked over with his head down, knelt down on the futon beside him, and looked directly at the statue on the shrine.

Yan Kaizhi didn't expect Shaohua to come. He had the habit of meditating in front of the Buddha, especially what had just happened. Knowing that he could not hide it from his mother, he took all the responsibilities and consciously came here to think about it. Seeing that Shaohua did not look at himself, Yan Kaizhi withdrew his sight and followed the Buddha statue.

The two people in front of the Buddha had their own minds. No one spoke, and no one paid attention to anyone. They straightened up, as if they were competing with time.

But after all, no matter how stubborn Shaohua is, his body can't stand Yan Kaizhi's iron constitution. After the third night, she was already in a trance. She didn't know whether she was tired or hungry, and her whole body began to shake.

However, she did not move, and Yan Kaizhi did not move. The two knelt silently in front of the Buddha as if they were fighting.

I don't know how long it took, Shaohua's body fell down softly. Fortunately, Yan Kaizhi took action in time to support her soft body.

"Shaohua?" His voice was hoarse because he hadn't drunk for a long time. He called him twice without waking up and sighed deeply. I really don't know what she is still stubborn about. Although Mrs. Yan said that she was not allowed to come out, she had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Only one of them will make a sound, and someone will immediately go in and help them out.

But the people at the door changed their dinner into midnight snacks, sugar water, cold and hot, and no one appeared.

Even Mrs. Yan in the front hall felt a little surprised, but for this matter, she said that it was not fake. No matter how good she was to Shaohua, after all, she was just a daughter-in-law. A daughter-in-law dared to be so bold. If it had been for others, she would have gone out long ago. However, her insulging son came early to plead for her. His face was red and swollen, and he took the mistake on his body. Horizontal and vertical is a matter between their husband and wife. Mrs. Yan didn't want to intervene, so she let them kneel in the Buddhist hall.

Yan Kaizhi picked her up horizontally, gently hugged her and walked out of the Buddhist hall. Suddenly, he saw her mother stopping the way forward.

"Mother." Yan Kaizhi shouted and looked at Mrs. Yan's dress, knowing that she must have been worried all night. "Please rest early."

"Your daughter-in-law is what you want to marry. I won't stop you, but next time you make such a big deal, I will immediately divorce her from going out." Mrs. Yan is also a person who does what she says.

Yan Kaizhi took a secret breath, knew what his mother meant, and nodded solemnly, "I know. There won't be a next time."

Knowing that her son was protecting her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yan also seemed helpless, "Go back, don't catch a cold."

Yan Kaizhi saw Mrs. Yan leave and suddenly stopped her, "Mom, those girls who just sent the message..."

Mrs Yan turned around, her expression was tingling, and a sharp color appeared on her face. "Mingyue and Xiaolian were slapped and locked up by me, and all the rest will be released tomorrow." It is not too much for a maid to hide behind the master and chew his tongue and tease the relationship between the master.

Yan Kaizhi understood his mother's means, and he was also angry that he was confused by Mingyue after a few words. When he came to his senses and calm down to analyze, he found that he had made a serious mistake. Just like when he first came over, Mrs. Yan sneered at him, "I thought you had made progress, but I didn't expect to be enchanted by her. Don't forget that you still have anything wrong with you."

For Yan Kaizhi, this sentence is already a very heavy punishment. He was disturbed by Shaohua and made such a low-level mistake.

"Madam, the marquis is sincere to his wife." Lin helped Mrs. Yan back to her room and whispered in her ear.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yan's face was slightly dark, and the shadow covered her eyes, "It's really disturbing." She muttered a word and ordered, "Let someone send some snacks there, and everything that happened today will be covered to death."

Lin nodded seriously. This is a family scandal, and it is rumored that there must be a big deal.

Shaohua herself also forgot how she fainted. When she woke up, she was already in her ** and even changed her clothes. She called Chu He to ask questions, but Chu He said that Yan Kaizhi brought her back.

"Where did the marquis rest last night?" Shaohua came down from ** in a hurry. She had no impression of what happened last night.

"The marquis went to the study." Chu He helped her and changed her clothes and combed her hair.

"Didn't you come back all night?" Shaohua was a little surprised, but his heart was a little weak. What happened later?"

Chu He shook his head and didn't forget to tell Shaohua in a low voice, "Mrs. Tai didn't let anyone say it, but I heard that Xiaolian and Mingyue were shut up. It seemed that they were talking nonsense, and several others were sent out of the house early."

Shaohua was shocked. She didn't expect it to be so big that she knelt down and fell asleep last night, and she didn't know what Mrs. Yan would think.

"Hurry up and accompany me to Mrs. I hope she won't blame her. Shaohua was annoyed. Why didn't Yan Kaizhi wake her up?

Chu He said, "Madam said that you don't have to go there these two days, so as long as you can prepare to enter the palace the day after tomorrow."

It turned out that she was going to enter the palace so soon. She thought she would not enter the palace until the day Rouwan got married. I don't know if the wound on Yan Kaizhi's face has healed. She is really impulsive. With such a slap, a man will be so angry that he will divorce his wife.

No wonder Yan Kaizhi refused to go back to his room to sleep last night. He must have a grudge in his heart.

Shaohua smiled bitterly, but she didn't hope to be like this. Yesterday, his words completely chilled her. Any serious wife would be angry if she was told so, not to mention her husband.

"Madam, the wife of the Xu family said she would come to visit." When he entered the house and saw that Shaohua was still awake, he quickly greeted him.

"Who is Mrs. Xu?" Shaohua frowned. She didn't remember which lady she knew whose surname was Xu.

Youhan reminded: "It's the sister of the princess's house next door, the son-in-law. I heard that she had just entered Beijing these two days, so she came here to visit." The emperor directly changed the name of Xu Ziang's residence to the princess's mansion. Anyway, the slave supplies in it were originally moved out of the palace. Although Xu Ziang has a little dissatisfaction, there are many dowries of the princess, so he can't say anything more.

"Is she coming alone? Where is it now? Shaohua and the Xu family have nothing to know each other. Now, Xu Ziang has become a son-in-law, and it has nothing to do with her. Therefore, it was beyond her expectation that the wife of the Xu family would come to visit.

"A maid and I went back to the hall with Yan." The young said.

Yanhuitang is close to Shaohua where they live, and it is also a flower hall dedicated to Shaohua's banquet for dignitaries and nobles.

The guests came to the door, so Shaohua naturally had no reason to drive people away. He quickly asked Youhan to help dress up so that he could go out to welcome the guests. However, to her surprise, everyone was still respectful to her as if nothing had happened yesterday.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Shaohua saw a beautiful figure, who was similar in age to her, but her face was beautiful and elegant, and she was a rare beauty. What's more rare is that she smiles brightly and doesn't look like this woman in Beijing at all. The elegant face is seven points similar to Xu Ziang, but it seems to be similar to Xu Zixiang.

As soon as Shaohua stepped in, the girl had come over to comfort her enthusiastically: "If you say hello to your sister, you will come here without saying hello. If your heart is wrong, please forgive me." Xu Xinru's name made Shaohua unhappy and frowned slightly. He didn't understand why she called her sister and sister.

Youhan was also a little unhappy, but before she opened her mouth, the girl beside Xu Xinru pulled her sleeve and reminded her, "Madam, you should be called Mrs. Hou."

However, Xu Xinru said carelessly, "Call my wife to see more. My sister and I are about the same age. We are neighbors, so we should ask our sister to be closer."

Shaohua doesn't think it's good to have a relationship with a strange woman. He just thought about her identity, so he smiled faintly and said, "It's better for me to meet Mrs. Xu for the first time and start calling her according to etiquette." Seeing Xu Xinru's obvious displeasure, she directly turned to the topic: "I don't know what's wrong with Mrs. Xu coming so early."

Xu Xinru saw that Shaohua had no intention to have a relationship with her at all, and she also looked lazy. "It's nothing. Recently, my third brother has been busy with the wedding. I was bored alone, so I came to visit her." The future Princess Mansion and Xingyonghou Mansion are just a few steps away, and you can come here without taking a bus. Xu Xinru looked at it for a moment and said with a smile, "Why are you at home alone, marquis?"

Hearing Xu Xinru's three words, she actually mentioned Yan Kaizhi. She was a little unhappy, "Naturally, she is busy with official business. What's wrong with Mrs. Xu?"

"Nothing, I haven't apologized to him last time I bumped into him." Xu Xinru said lightly.

These two hands are empty, and they look left and right as soon as they come, and they really can't see where she is going to apologize.

Shaohua was not in the mood today. As soon as he saw Xu Xinru enter the door, he called her sister and sister. After two and a half sentences, he jumped on Yan Kaizhi. She couldn't help but keep her heart. This should not be Yan Kaizhi's peach blossom debt. She came to ask for it specially.

Thinking of having trouble with him yesterday, Shaohua held his dissatisfaction, "Mother Xu should have come from afar to treat her warmly, but I'm not feeling well today, and I have to prepare to go to the palace. I'm afraid I'm going to neglect Mrs. Xu. Why don't I visit you another day to apologize?

This is the most direct eviction order, but it is not painful for Xu Xinru.

"Okay, remember to let him come with you." Xu Xinru didn't look embarrassed. She got up and didn't salute, so she called the maid to leave.

This made the young man stamp his feet angrily, "Madam, what kind of person is this! It's too unruly. If I had known that I couldn't let her in.

Shaohua looked at Xu Xinru's back and was calm as soon as she came in. She did not see the shyness and fear of the officials at all, and she was not at all worried about Shaohua's light or heavy accusations. If this is not to say that she is blind and arrogant, it only shows that she is extremely favored at home, and she is by no means as favored as softness. Thinking about the family background of the Xu family and its current status, Shaohua felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

If Xu Xinru wants to be opposed, I'm afraid she will be in big trouble.
