Chapter 355: I Want to Take a Concubine

that dragging this out will be pointless, so she might as well go back and consult with the old mistress about what to do. But right now, the magistrate is sitting in the Hall of Clear Declarations....The people from Fulu Courtyard have been messing with that tree lately, really giving it a hard time. Originally, only a few wives and Jun Tao knew what was up with the tree, but now, pretty much everyone has some idea of what's going on. 。The old woman, having overheard the maidservant's muttering, came up to the big tree and crouched down to peer beneath it. 。Beneath the big tree, a circle of pebbles was laid out. The stones were clean and dry, without any trace of food scraps or unpleasant odors. 。Apart from a faint scent of medicine on the bark, everything else seemed normal, as if no one had fed the tree for days. 。The midwife was starting to feel a little uneasy. The idea of ghosts in the courtyard was gradually becoming real in her mind, and she even felt a bit confused, like wanting to lie on the bed like the old mistress and take a nap. 。Night view seeing this scene, my heart was even more uneasy. 。The old woman had drugged her husband's medicine back then, and he knew about it, but he didn't stop her from doing so. 。Because he also felt that his father was not good to him, only knowing how to favor his elder brother's family, he barely acknowledged him as the second son. He wasn't even taught martial arts or how to read by his father throughout his life. 。As long as he asked, the answer given was that the Ye family couldn't afford a third general, and the court wouldn't allow another member of the Ye family to serve in government. 。 Therefore, he has hated his father since then and resented him deeply. Because of his father's neglect, too many people called him a coward, and even his wife's family looked down upon him. Xiao Lao Fuzi even regretted marrying her daughter to him. 。And he knew that compared to the Xiao family of the Ningguo Mansion, his father valued the Mu family, another martial arts family, more. He particularly favored the daughters of the Mu family. 。So when the Xiao family initially wanted to marry Xiao Shoubai to his older brother, his father firmly refused and immediately chose a wife for his elder brother, Mu's only daughter. 。Xiao Shubi married her elder brother's friend because she couldn't marry her own elder brother. 。Moreover, he didn't want to marry Xiao Shubi at first because he knew she was older than him and he wasn't old enough to get married back then. 。Xiao Shuibai would do anything to marry into the Ye family. She even plotted against him, framing him for a drunken misconduct and forcing him to marry her as an old woman. 。Because of this incident, his father beat him up. He disgraced the family, how could such a scumbag come out of their grand house All these things made him not even want to care about what his mother was doing, knowing full well, instead he joined in the mockery and pushed the first wife's family into the abyss as well. 。He did that thing, leaving only Xichun with a handle. To seal his mouth, he took Xichun as a concubine. 。But no one at Kaifuluyuan knew how many people were aware of this, nor how many mouths the old woman had sealed. 。He always thought that for such a big event, since the old woman had done it, she must have been on high alert, doing everything possible to prevent any leaks. 。Now that things have escalated to this point, it's clear that the plan has been exposed. And to make matters worse, it's leaked to Ye Wenyan! This is truly a case of "what you fear most will happen." 。He strode into the main room. A maidservant was feeding the elderly mistress, each bite carefully delivered. If any were not placed well, she would be scolded by the old lady. 。At night's fall, Sheng swiftly stepped forward, taking the bowl from her. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the maid. 。When the old madam saw him, she was a little surprised because her second son had visited twice in the past few days when she was ill. He usually didn't come. 。But she harbored no resentment, because she knew her second son was working tirelessly outside to find a way for him to get his official position restored. 。This isn't something that can be done in a day or two, so it's normal for her not to come and see. 。But now that the day has arrived, she had to ask how things were going. Before she could even speak, Ye Jing Sheng spoke first, “How did word get out about what Mother did back then” The old Madam’s heart skipped a beat, her face instantly turning grim. “What are you talking about I don’t understand.” 。" Mother 。"With the night scene, she set down her bowl and said, 'Now there's no one else in the house, just you and me, mother. What can't we do In fact, we've all done some things, thinking others don't know, but actually, we all know each other.' " 。Even when I did that, my mother still subtly gave me advice. 。"When did I ever give you advice" The old lady was clearly flustered, wanting to lie back on the bed, but was grabbed by Ye Sheng. 。She struggled with all her might, but it was no use; her son was much stronger than her. 。"What on earth are you trying to do Jing Sheng, there's only our mother and son left in this family. Could it be that you don't even want me around anymore"

"Mother, what are you saying" Ye Jing Sheng was also getting agitated. "A son would never not want his mother. I just want to share the burden with her." 。Now this matter is no longer a secret. Everyone in the Fu Lu courtyard knows what happened that night, and Wen Yan also knows. 。"I just ran into her at the front gate of the manor. Guess what"

The old madam shuddered, "What did she do"

"She...the fact that I can still live in the First Rank General's Mansion now is because of my elder brother, not our father." 。"What does this mean Can Mother tell me why Ye Wenyan is doing this"

"How would I know why she's doing this!" The old matriarch's teeth were chattering, her face ashen white

The breathtaking view brought her an unprecedented fear, so much so that she felt Night Whisper's blade was already pressed against her throat, ready to sever her head with the slightest movement. 。Treat your concubine well. 。She suddenly lowered her voice to a whisper, almost speaking into Ye Jing's ear, "As long as she keeps her mouth shut, nothing will happen." 。The night scene made his heart race. The old lady was so careful, which also made him more cautious. 。Yes, Ye Wen has already taken action on that side. He's started to harass the old lady. Does that mean it'll soon be his turn He has to keep Xichun under control. Compared to Xiao Shuwai, Xichun is a harder one to manage. 。Because they had no interest in each other, anything he did to Xichun could potentially leak from her mouth. 。Although Xichun himself had been involved in the matter, he was barefoot while others wore shoes. A slave with a worthless life, how could he risk his own life for a fellow slave 。So you can't provoke Xi Chun, you can't let Xi Chun get to that point, and you can't offend Xiao Shu Bai too much, because if Xiao Shu Bai goes, there is nothing Xi Chun can do that she can't. 。 But what about Xue Qiao and Wu Shuang He asked his mother, "If I wanted to marry a concubine now, what would Mother think" His mother was taken aback. She didn't immediately react to how her son had suddenly changed the subject. Wasn't he just talking about something else just now How did it suddenly get brought up to a concubine And… "Where is this concubine from" she asked Ye Jing Sheng, "Where are you going to find a concubine Have you already found one, or is that just your intention" "I've found her a long time ago>>> 。"The night view is really amazing. I found it over ten years ago and have been keeping it in the suburbs ever since." 。We have a daughter who is the same age as Hongzhuang. She is even more beautiful than Hongzhuang, and not only is she beautiful, but she is also well-educated, polite, sensible, and obedient. 。For so many years, you have never argued or made a fuss, always thinking of me. To avoid putting me in an awkward position, you have never mentioned the matter of acknowledging our family ties. 。Her mother was also a lovely woman who always treated me with respect and never complained about me. 。They had originally planned to live outside forever, just so they wouldn't trouble their family and wouldn't anger the Xiao family. 。But now there is another life in her belly. I can't let that child be born outside either. Now the family is like this, Xiao Shubi gave birth to two children, none of them are useful. If I let my own flesh and blood be left outside again, then there will be no hope for the rest of my life. 。Mom, you have to help me. 。" These past few years, Ye Jian Qiao and her mother have truly concealed themselves well. The night second general, who is neither scholarly nor martial, has probably done his best work with this very thing." 。Of course, except for Ye Fei Zhou, he managed to keep it a secret from everyone else, including Xiao Shu Bai and the old lady. 。So when the old madam heard him speak of these things, she was more than just bewildered. It took a long time for her to recover and the first thing she asked was, “Is it a boy or a girl in your belly”Nighting smiled and shook his head, “It’s only two months, it’s not possible to tell if it’s a boy or girl yet. Besides, they live in the outer city and can’t afford a good doctor to check.” 。I just want to take the person back home quickly and take good care of them, whether it's a boy or a girl, they are our hope. 。“Yes, whether it’s a boy or a girl, the hope is…” 。But it would be best if it were a boy. Your father never cared for you and doesn't show any interest in your children, so we hoped to have more girls to marry off into the palace. That way, you could have a chance to turn things around. 。But now things are different. The first thing you need to think about is inheriting this family business. As for the rest, we'll deal with it later!" The old lady sighed and leaned lightly against the cushion behind her, wondering what to do next. 。Night view Shengjian mother to his marrying a flat wife's matter did not doubt, heart is very happy, "That mother must help me" 。”

The old lady glanced at him, "If you want me to help you, it's nothing more than Xiao Shubi and the Xiao family" 。This matter isn't actually difficult. Just because of Hongzhuang and Feizhou, these two children, the Xiao family wouldn't do anything. 。But you must think it through, that thing back then was done by the two of you as a couple. In case she uses this to blackmail you, you still can't confront her head-on. 。The mood of the night view was a bit low, and even after leaving Fulu Courtyard, I still felt uneasy. 。Just like the old woman, if Xiao Shubi used that incident to blackmail him How should Xueqiao enter the door He wasn't feeling well, and the old woman wasn't feeling well either. 。Because of the beautiful night view, she mentioned things from that year and also passed on Ye Wenyan's words to her, which made her heart unable to settle. 。...have always been wondering what Ye Wen knows and how much he knows... 。And about what happened before, she always felt that only Zhi Di knew the most. But in reality, both her second sons knew, and Xiao Shubi definitely knew too. 。With so many mouths to feed, how can she possibly cover them all with a pale face, and a scattering of wilted flowers at their feet. 。Ye Wen looked at the old woman lying on the bed, her face becoming increasingly gloomy. 。The old general at night was a figment co...
