After four years of marriage in Zhao's residence, Guan Suyi has never been so close to Zhao Luli, but what is close to each other is only the body, and what can no longer be approached is the mind. She was led to the main room by this man to speak, her expression always blank.
"Suyi, it was my fault." Zhao Luli was used to apologizing to his wife with one mouth. He understands that if his wife's family background is low and he still can't wake up, he will indeed treat her in such a cruel way. So even if she asked for divorce and chose Huo Shengzhe, he never blamed her, let alone resentment.
"After you passed the door, you were filial to your mother, took care of the children, and took charge of the central feeder. You did everything well. I don't know if I could marry you. I don't know how many blessings I have cultivated in my life." Speaking of this, he felt more and more guilty. " That night when I drank too much, I would do something worse than a beast. You smashed me, but it woke me up. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. The dead only need to be remembered in memory, and those around me will be missed. Talents should be cherished even more. Suyi, can you forgive me?" He held his wife's fingertips, his eyes full of hope and prayer.
If it was a different person, after four years of humiliation and then being lifted up like this, he would definitely be grateful and agree. But Guan Suyi's heart has long been cold, and she can't feel the slightest joy, only the anger of being arbitrarily controlled. Is she an object? Can people throw it away when they want to, and pick it up when they want to
However, thinking of her seriously ill grandfather, her humiliated parents who ran around for a living, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to accept Zhao Luli's offer.
"Master Fei is at fault," she heard her hollow voice ringing in her ears. "It's the concubine who has lost her duty. The concubine is very happy that Lord Hou can wake up."
Zhao Luli's high-hanging heart finally fell, and he slowly embraced the lady in his arms, cherishing and stroking her pale cheeks. No matter whether the lady can let go of the grudge, he has a long life to get her forgiveness. He wanted to turn her into a veritable wife now, but he was afraid that the shadow of the past would still remain in her heart, so he had to hold back for the time being.
The two reconciled, and the one who was happiest was the old lady. She called the couple to the main courtyard, told them earnestly, and then asked the servants to set up a banquet to shock everyone. Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu helped Ye Fanshan to arrive late and were about to take their seats, but they heard their father ask in a cold voice, "How can there be a reason for a concubine to serve a table when the family is eating?"
Guan Suyi glanced at him indifferently, although she didn't understand why his temperament had changed so much, she wouldn't be easily moved. Is there less time for Ye Fan to sit on an equal footing with her? If she really respected her as his wife, she wouldn't let her stay alone in the empty room while pampering her concubine. But thinking about it now, being alone in an empty house is not necessarily a bad thing, at least she is still clean now.
Ye Fan took a step back, his expression aggrieved. Zhao Wangshu was anxious, and said quickly, "Auntie is our family, isn't she always sitting like this? What's more, she is still pregnant now!"
In the end, the old lady felt sorry for her grandson, and waved, "Sit down, Ye Fan is about to give birth, and it's not too late to follow the rules when the child is born." In her eyes, the Zhao family's descendants are more important, which is also Ye Fan. With that face that looks like Ye Zhen, the reason why she can still win her favor.
Speaking of this child, Zhao Luli felt uncomfortable. He suppressed the full of regret and guilty conscience, and said solemnly, "Sit down, don't come out to hang out if you have nothing to do in the future."
Ye Fanxuan was about to cry, and as soon as he was about to sit down, he clutched his stomach and wailed. The skirt was wet, as if the amniotic fluid had broken. Guan Suyi quickly got up to help her, and ordered, "Go to Mother Wen, Concubine Ye is about to give birth!"
A group of people was stunned for a moment, and then they acted independently. The one in the most chaotic mood is none other than Zhao Luli. He has just returned, and he has not yet cultivated a good relationship with his wife, and even has a concubine. Madam can't rub the sand in her eyes, just because of this, she will never accept him sincerely, at most she will treat each other like a guest. But what he wants is not to respect each other as a guest, but to empathize with each other, and love is thicker than water.
Why does he always wake up too late and take a step back? Is this destined? His face was extremely ugly, but he had to pick up Ye Fan and quickly sent him to the delivery room. After sitting down, he searched his memory again. Only then did he realize that his younger brother and sister Ruan and his adopted son Mu Mu had already died. nothing. No wonder the mother hated Ye Zhen, but still accepted Ye Fan, I am afraid that this child is the most important.
He was hit hard, hurriedly grabbed his wife's wrist, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Suyi, are you still there?"
Guan Suyi avoided answering, "Master Hou, but the wound is hurting again? There is a concubine guarding here, you can help the old lady go back to rest."
"No, I have to guard you." Zhao Luli didn't dare to leave her for half a step.
Guan Suyi stared at the door expressionlessly, as if he didn't hear what he said. From the noon to the early morning of the next day, Ye Fan finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The loud cries made the old lady overjoyed, and she immediately named Zhao Guang, holding her in her arms and refusing to let go. Guan Suyi also took the child and hugged it for a while, then handed it to Lord Hou.
Zhao Luli couldn't feel the joy of being a father at all, he was only at a loss. He visited Ye Fan in a daze, bid farewell to his wife in shame, and returned to the study to sort out his thoughts. Just after sitting down for half a moment, a servant sent a secret letter.
Ye Zhen! He woke up instantly, and then had a splitting headache. What are these things? There are so many concubines in the family, but now I have added a concubine, and then even my ex-wife came to join in the fun. Zhao Luli in this life is simply beyond stupid!
He opened the envelope and read it hastily, his already gloomy complexion was as black as the bottom of a pot. Ye Zhen said in the letter that she had broken through the secret of Emperor Sheng Yuan, so that he would be killed, and he asked him to find a way to save her. What secret? It's just that the sins committed in previous years have been exposed, and it is well deserved to die a hundred times! save her? As an abandoned chess piece, why should he save her
Thinking like this, Zhao Luli wrote down the things she did one by one, and bluntly drew a clear line with her. After sending the secret letter, he thought for a while, and finally seized a glimmer of hope. Zhao Luli in this life has not completely withdrawn from the court. A few days ago, in order to help Ye Zhen suppress Pan Jieyu, he took an errand from Pan Jieyu's brother, and he did it very beautifully. Maybe he can take this credit to ask for a formal order for his wife, so that everyone in the Hou Mansion can understand that a concubine is a concubine, and even if she has a son, she is no better than a true wife.
When he thought of it, he did it. He spread out the four treasures of the study, and wrote the memorial book for the letter, stroke by stroke.
----
Ye Fan lay on the bed for three days before recovering a little bit of energy, holding his son Zhao Guang in his arms and teasing with a wide-eyed smile. Suddenly, an old lady ran in and hurriedly said, "My aunt is not good, the Hou Ye asked Zhezi to give his wife an official order. The emperor has approved it today, and he said it is right!"
Ye Fan froze and asked, "Please seal your life? Why didn't I hear about it?"
"The slaves haven't heard of it either! Lord Hou is hiding the news from everyone in the mansion, and the old lady just got the news. Ye Jieyu sent someone to pick up the lady, and said she wanted to meet her and talk about the old times. The carriage was all set up, It should be on the way by now."
"It's really your appointment, not something else?" Ye Fan murmured in disbelief, "But I just gave birth to a son for Lord Hou, why does he want to lift Guan Suyi at this time? Doesn't he understand that this is Hit me in the face? Those bitches in the backyard don't know how to laugh at me."
The old lady comforted, "Don't panic, auntie, Ye Jieyu should support you. She called Madam into the palace now, maybe she just wanted to beat her."
Ye Fanqiang smiled and nodded, but his heart was extremely embarrassed. The emperor is all right, what can my cousin do, at most give Guan Suyi a slap in the face. When she comes back, even if she doesn't have a noble background, she will be able to crush all the others with the title of Yipin.
What the hell do you want to do? Do you really like Guan Suyi
Guan Suyi also had the same doubts. Before stepping into the palace gate, she frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to be nice to you." Zhao Luli held her wrist and warned cautiously, "Don't walk around in the palace, and don't believe anything Ye Jieyu said. I'll come to pick you up when I see the emperor." , he was angry and fearful, he hated Ye Zhen for being vicious, and he was afraid that his wife would meet the emperor and make the same mistakes again.
But the palace concubine summoned, how can ordinary women defy it, she has to dress up properly and go immediately. In desperation, he could only accompany his wife into the palace on the grounds of thanks, and once again warned before parting, "Be careful of Ye Jieyu."
"I understand." Guan Suyi nodded and agreed. Under the guidance of a maid, she found a quiet palace. Stepping into the palace gate was a dim aisle. At the end of the aisle, there was a strong scent of sandalwood. Smells more like a temple.
"Your mother-in-law believes in Buddhism?" Guan Suyi asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, Niangniang is extremely devout to the Buddha, and she recites scriptures for a while at this time of the day. Madam, please come in, the servants will retire." The servant hurriedly left.
Guan Suyi walked in slowly, and saw that there was indeed a Buddhist temple in front of him, but no doors and windows were installed, and the blue sky and daytime had to be illuminated by candles and oil lamps; a futon was placed on the ground, and a scripture was discarded on it, which seemed to be stained with some stains. Mottled and mottled; looking up, there is a painting hanging in the Buddhist altar that should be dedicated to the Bodhisattva, and it is blood red.
Guan Suyi couldn't hold back her curiosity, she walked around the futon to the Buddhist altar, looked carefully, but took a short breath. This painting is very strange. It is actually a scene of a ghost boy slitting a woman's belly and breaking out of her body. The artist's skill is extraordinary, and he painted the woman's painful and horrified expression and the terrifying face of the ghost boy to life. A large pool of thick blood seems to flow out of the frame.
How can a Buddhist temple enshrine such an evil thing? Only then did Guan Suyi react, and she hurried back, but suddenly slammed into a cold and hard chest, and then her shoulders were pressed by a pair of big palms, and a gloomy voice sounded in her ears, "What did you see?"
