Chapter 228 Untitled 3
If he didn't know Shaohua, maybe he would have agreed immediately. He helped Hongyi climb the throne so hard, not just to clear his father's grievances, and soon he could be the originator of his own blood blade.
Unfortunately, the originator is not a person, not 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 court are involved. He always knew in his heart who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice. How many things he had endured in order to avenge this. However, when he met Shaohua and married her, he no longer only cares about his mother's safety.
Just like Mrs. Yan said, "You must leave a way out for yourself. You choose the person, and you must also protect her well."
He thought that he could not give happiness to his beloved, at least to give happiness to this girl who was full of himself, and even selfishly thought not to consider the suppressed hatred over the years. It was enough to accompany Shaohua and watch her happy.
It's just that Xu Xinru broke into his extravagant expectations and forced him to face the last thing he wanted to see.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I went to beg the second master." Yan Kaizhi didn't explain too much in the end, and probably Shaohua couldn't listen to his explanation.
"You still agreed, didn't you?" Shaohua did not think that if Yan Kaizhi firmly opposed it, Hongyi would kill him.
At this moment, Yan Kaizhi could only sigh, "The second master won't allow me to agree." And he had to take the initiative to talk to the Xu family, which almost killed him.
"Why?" Shaohua clenched his fist and looked at his expression motionlessly.
Yan Kaizhi lowered his head and looked at the girl's sincere and bright eyes. His eyes washed by tears always shined particularly brightly. He couldn't help holding her in his arms and muttered in her ear, "The Xu family's request is to divorce you or take her as a concubine." He clearly felt that the person in his arms was frozen, and he hurriedly added, "They knew that I couldn't divorce you."
"Is there no third choice?" Xu Xinru is really crazy to use this method.
Yan Kaizhi saw that she slowly regained her composure, and he was also exhausted by this matter. In order to hide it from Shaohua and plead with Hongyi, he had not slept peacefully for several nights. Especially when he thought that he had to confess to Shaohua, he felt a headache. Although Shaohua's tears were expected by him, he would still feel pain when he really saw them.
"If there is, will I agree? Shaohua, my wife, I never think I am a decent man, but I will definitely do what I said. I promised to marry you and stay with you for the rest of my life, and I will definitely do it. He is not so naive to think that anything in the world can be done as he wants, and there is always a price to pay first.
Shaohua was also tired of crying and couldn't help laughing: "The price of accompanying me all your life is that you must accept her as a concubine?"
"I will never touch her!" Yan Kaizhi's tone was resolute.
Xu Xinru volunteered to hit the chip, and he did not intend to break the whole game of chess for this chip.
"I want to be alone." Shaohua pushed him away, but Yan Kaizhi refused. She was as bright as nails as a kitten, but not inserted into the back of his hand, but embedded in his hand. Yan Kaizhi was so scared that he immediately let go. She lowered her head and walked step by step towards the house without even looking at Yan Kaizhi.
"Madam..." Mother Rong, who was hiding from the eavesdropping, greeted her sadly.
"Mary, don't tell me anything. I want to go back to sleep." Shaohua didn't open his mouth to Mother Rong and continued to move forward.
Yan Kaizhi stood still and looked at Shaohua out of sight. His eyes fell on Mother Rong. Unfortunately, Mother Rong just bowed slightly and then turned her head and left. He secretly clenched his fist and looked in the direction of Mrs. Yan's house, but did not move, but turned out.
Shaohua didn't know how long he had slept. Anyway, when he woke up, it was already dark.
Chu He and Youhan stood next to her with red eyes, which shocked her. They intermittently thought that Shaohua was dizzy and couldn't wake up. They were so nervous that they sent someone to find a doctor. As a result, before the doctor came, they heard Shaohua's sleeping snoring, which made them angry and funny. At this time, Shaohua finally woke up, and their hearts fell again.
Rouwan's arrival was indeed to convey the news in the palace to Xingyong Marquis, and it was required that Yan Kaizhi must complete it within a month.
When Mrs. Yan heard this, she sneered three times, saying that she hadn't loved her daughter-in-law enough, but others were nervous for her. Rouwan knew Mrs. Yan's nature and did not argue with her. After a few words, she left. Xu Xinru didn't dare to see Mrs. Yan at all. She was just scared by Yan Kaizhi's appearance and didn't know what Mrs. Yan would do to her.
But let her give up now, and she is unwilling. Things have come to this point. How can she give up?
When Rouwan and the others left, Yan Kaizhi was called back and hid in Mrs. Yan's room for at least two hours. No one knew what the mother and son said. It was not until Bidie went to inform Shaohua to wake up that the door opened, but both mother and son looked solemn and tired.
"Wuniang, I know you feel uncomfortable, but it's a for sure thing. Take it easy." Mrs. Yan felt a little sorry for Shaohua. At first, she comforted her to ask for her. Unexpectedly, such a stupid son was beheaded 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 it was the child's appetite. When the others saw her laughing, they were relieved and began to play.
The only thing that can prove that Shaohua did not lose his memory or become stupid is that Shaohua insisted on refusing to let Yan Kaizhi eat with her.
The upper and lower levels of Xingyong Houfu all know what the feelings of the marquis and his wife are. Not to mention a meal, they will find someone if they can't see a cup of tea. Now Shaohua took the initiative to ask Yan Kaizhi not to appear at her dinner table, and everyone sighed. Now that he is full of food and drink, Shaohua acts coquettishly next to Mrs. Yan, but Yan Kaizhi is serious in the face of danger, which makes people feel that Shaohua and Mrs. Yan are their own mother and daughter.
"Mother, she knows..." Yan Kaizhi looked at Shaohua bowing his head and playing with his fingers. He didn't hear Mrs. Yan's words and couldn't help making excuses for her.
But it attracted Mrs. Yan's white eyes, and she scolded her son angrily, "Shut up! Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, why did you interrupt? Or how could you hook up with your wife? Yan Kaizhi's face did not change, and his eyes were on his toes. Others could bear to laugh or be surprised. In short, no one dared to ruin the atmosphere. Only Shaohua wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh. He stared at Yan Kaizhi's side face calmly and deeply.
"Mother, I'm fine. I know my husband has to do it." After Mrs. Yan was angry, Shaohua immediately comforted Mrs. Yan with a smile. However, this "husband" made Yan Kaizhi feel more uneasy than Mrs. Yan's words. He looked at Shaohua, but Shaohua just didn't look at him.
Mrs. Yan originally wanted to comfort Shaohua with three wives and four concubines, but she thought that she disdained this, and finally she could only sigh: "It's good that you know. To tell you the truth, I'm more reluctant than your Xu family to come in and dirty my room. However, the Xu family dared to give out most of Pingzhou for this daughter. I don't know what their purpose is, but it still has an advantage for you.
Only then did Shaohua know that the Xu family's contribution to Xu Xinru was so risky. No wonder Yan Kaizhi would be so embarrassed. I'm afraid that Hongyi was more willing to agree than him. Thinking of this, she couldn't bear to throw a look at him, which surprised Yan Kaizhi.
However, for a moment, she withdrew her eyes and didn't want to see him, at least not at this moment.
When Mrs. Yan saw her bow her head, she thought it was psychological grievance, and immediately patted her chest and promised her, "She is willing to be a concubine, so let her understand the identity of being a concubine. You have children, a husband, and me, and I'm afraid that she will not be a concubine."
"Thank you, mother, I know how to do it." Shaohua smiled and looked at Mrs. Yan gratefully.
She is an optimistic and pessimistic person. Pessimism is because she always suffers about gains and losses, and optimism is that even if she is lost, she will soon find a way to survive. As Mrs. Yan said, Xu Xinru is just a concubine even if she enters the door. No matter how powerful her mother's house is, she will be her aunt when she enters the door.
Especially since childhood, he has been bathed in the means of Mrs. Xin's concubine, and has seen the ups and downs of Su. Even if Shaohua is an idiot, he knows how to deal with it. She will let Xu Xinru know what a sinful decision it is to volunteer to be a concubine.
Mrs. Yan was also relieved to see Shaohua open his heart knot. She regarded Shaohua as half of Lanzhi in her heart, and naturally her heart should be more biased. That's good. Now as long as you take good care of yourself, you won't be afraid of worrying about family affairs. If she dares to bully you, I will decide for you. Shaohua nodded gratefully and smiled, "Okay, go back. People with two bodies can't stay up late."
When Yan Kaizhi heard the words, he immediately got up cautiously to help Shaohua.
Originally, Shaohua refused to touch him, but Yan Kaizhi's big hand held her tightly in his arms and stared at him resentfully. Yan Kaizhi did not see it. After asking his mother, he left with Shaohua.
The lights of Xingyonghou Mansion gradually went out. Everyone wanted to treat today's event as a farce, but when they heard Yan Kaizhi order people to clean up a small yard near Mrs. Yan's residence and said that they were going to live for Xu Xinru, everyone's hearts sank again. This is not a farce. Strangers will soon come in. Although it doesn't have much impact on the people under them, the master is in a bad mood, and they will also encounter it.
From this perspective, no one in the whole Xingyong Hou Mansion welcomed Xu Xinru's arrival. She couldn't wait for her to regret temporarily and then stop marrying.
Lin took off Mrs. Yan's coat, helped her sit firmly, twisted a towel and handed it over, and whispered, "Madam, the Xu family is really bold." However, Mrs. Yan did not answer. She buried her face in the towel and didn't raise her head for a while.
Lin almost thought that she was going to be scolded for her wrong words and was about to kneel down and beg for blame. Mrs. Yan slowly raised her head and her eyes became firm and cold.
"Please find Zhaocheng for me. I want to see him." Mrs. Yan felt as if she had been bit eaten by something, which was a little sad and painful.
"But Madam...yes." Lin didn't seem to understand her words. He half said it and agreed defusely.
