The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

The old woman continued to write with tears in her eyes. Ye Yuxiao handed her a handkerchief while reading: "She was hidden in the cellar of Fushou Hall, and no one has seen her. When she ran away later, her face had been disfigured, and everyone else Thought she was just crazy."

After Ye Yuxiao finished reading, he was a little confused: "The concubine can't give birth to a child, so she can just be a concubine for her husband. Why must she take such risks as to kidnap her own sister?"

Ouyang Sheng answered her question: "A concubine has no right to inherit the title. If she doesn't steal the title, sooner or later the title in Prince Qi's palace will be the second, third or fourth bedroom."

So it turns out that putting profit at the forefront will indeed make people crazy. Ye Yuxiao suddenly realized.

Ouyang Sheng asked the old woman: "There is one more thing that I don't understand yet. It's fine that no one else in Prince Qi's palace has seen you. Could it be that my father has not seen you either? Has he recognized you?"

We've always seen each other between the sheets, right?

The old woman wrote again immediately.

After Ye Yuxiao read it, she relayed it to Ouyang Sheng: "Of course she has seen it before, but the room was very dark every time. She couldn't see her brother-in-law's face, and she didn't know if he recognized her."

Ouyang Sheng seemed to be most concerned about this question, and the old woman's answer obviously did not satisfy him. He clasped his hands behind his back and turned sideways to face the old woman and Ye Yuxiao, looking at the flickering candles and remaining silent.

Did he believe the old lady or not? Ye Yuxiao was not sure about his attitude, so he had to say to the old woman: "How about you rest first? Your injury is not healed yet, so don't be tired."

The old woman looked at her and smiled, then wrote a few more lines on the paper. This time she wrote not to Ouyang Sheng, but to Ye Yuxiao. The general meaning is that she originally planned to die in southern Xinjiang, but it was Ye Yuxiao who gave her a human skin mask that gave her the courage to go out. It's a pity that after returning to Beijing, someone was chasing her, and the human skin mask was taken off by them.

It turns out that the old lady’s coming to the capital has anything to do with her? Perhaps, all causes and effects are inextricably linked. Now that she was being hunted, Ye Yuxiao asked again: "Since you were being hunted, how did you get to Qiuyuan? Qiuyuan is where you asked for directions with the address and my portrait. .”

The old woman wrote: "It seems that because Bai Xiwen owed them money, they were angry, so they simply let me go to make trouble for her."

It turns out that it was Ouyang Sheng's method of suppressing Concubine Bai that worked. But when Ouyang Sheng dealt with Concubine Bai, he actually didn't expect that the matter was related to his life experience, right? Ye Yuxiao thought and glanced at Ouyang Sheng again, only to see that he was still looking at the candlelight in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

As if sensing Ye Yuxiao's gaze, Ouyang Sheng turned around and said to the old woman, "I will verify what you just said."

But the old woman shook her head repeatedly and hurriedly wrote on the paper again.

Ye Yuxiao looked at it and said, "She said you must not investigate. Once this matter is known to others, you will become an adulterer. She risked her life to return to Beijing to see you just to remind you that Concubine Bai will never treat you again." Well, she’s not the biological mother either, so you have to be careful and don’t believe everything.”

"When she left her mark on you, she was really unwilling to do so. She thought that one day she would come back and expose Bai Xiwen's true face. But now she has figured it out. She can't just care about her own happiness in everything. She must think more about you. Only if Bai Xiwen continues to be your mother can you have the glory and wealth you have now. As for her, after she recovers from her injuries, she will return to southern Xinjiang and will never come to the capital again in this life."

After Ye Yuxiao finished recounting, his eyes were wet. She has never enjoyed maternal love in her two lives, and she never knew that a mother could consider this for her children. She felt that there was no need to find any more evidence. The old lady must be Ouyang Sheng's biological mother. Otherwise, what would she be doing if she took the risk and came back? Nothing good comes to her.

Ouyang Sheng seemed to have been thinking about other things and was a little absent-minded. After hearing what the old woman said, he said nothing and left without saying a word.

Ye Yuxiao put away the pen and ink and comforted the old woman: "It's normal for the prince to find it difficult to accept the sudden incident. However, he is an upright and kind man, and he will definitely recognize you. I will bring the painkillers. You drink it and rest first. Let’s heal our injuries before we talk.”

The old woman nodded, but grabbed Ye Yuxiao's hand and wouldn't let go.

Ye Yuxiao speculated for a while and asked: "You mean, it doesn't matter whether he recognizes you or not, but he must believe that Concubine Bai is not his biological mother and be wary of her?"

The old woman showed relief and let go of Ye Yuxiao's hand. She seemed very happy that Ye Yuxiao was smart and guessed what she meant.

"Okay, I will convey your message to you." Ye Yuxiao patted the back of her hand, stood up, brought the painkillers, and gave them to the old woman.

The old woman took the painkillers and fell into a drowsy sleep. The night was still long and someone was needed to accompany him here, but Ye Yuxiao was worried about Ouyang Sheng, so he called the maid to take his place and went back to his room.

Ouyang Sheng sat on the Arhat bed near the window of his bedroom, silently looking at the night sky outside the window. The night sky was dark and moonless, with only a few scattered stars emitting dim light.

Ye Yuxiao took out the warm tea from the thermos and poured two cups. He also took out the two plates of snacks that the maid left for her from the cabinet and placed them on the Kang table.

Ouyang Sheng withdrew his gaze and picked up the hot tea in front of him: "Has she rested?"

"Yes. Maybe my wish has come true. Although I have been tired for a long time, my energy is better than before." After Ye Yuxiao finished speaking, he picked up the tea and drank it in one breath.

Ouyang Sheng poured her another cup and took another snack and handed it to her.

Ye Yuxiao pretended to be frightened: "Now that I know your big secret, I won't be killed and silenced by you, right? Is this psychological poison?"

"Poisonous!" Ouyang Sheng glared at her angrily and stuffed the snack into her mouth across the Kang table.

Ye Yuxiao chewed snacks and slurred his words: "How do you plan to verify this?"

"There are many places to check." Ouyang Sheng said, "Who tied her into the cellar, who brought her food, who delivered her baby, who saw her when she escaped..."

"These people should have been killed and silenced." Ye Yuxiao took a sip of tea and swallowed the snack.

Yes, otherwise there would not have been any news for so many years. Ouyang Sheng slowly turned the tea cup on the Kang table and said: "If she is really my biological mother, I will not only recognize her, but also seek justice for her."

"Didn't the old lady not let you admit it? She was afraid that your identity would be criticized." Ye Yuxiao asked.

"Since I already know about this matter, if the evidence is conclusive, but I deny my biological mother and do not seek justice for her, wouldn't I be deemed a son in vain?" Ouyang Sheng said sternly, "The identity of an adulterous child is certainly derogatory. But this is not the fault of my biological mother, and it is not the fault of this king. The fault lies with those who committed evil deeds back then, and I must make them pay the price!"
