Concubine Duan was so arrogant that she could only be scolded by the emperor without daring to talk back.
When mother and son came out of the imperial study, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, what can I do with Hua Yanxi? Don't listen to rumors anymore." Ye Juechen only felt a little tired.
If it had been anyone else today, I'm afraid he would never be able to take off his reputation as Duan Xiu. Fortunately, his father knew Hua Yanxi's true face and knew that the man was heartbroken.
Concubine Duan nodded with lingering fear.
Ye Juechen originally planned to send her back to the palace, but after taking only two steps, Concubine Duan pulled him over and whispered: "Son, listen to Concubine Mu, even if you really like men, it's best to
Don’t let people know, and as a male member of the royal family, you still have to think about opening up branches and leaves for the royal family, you know?”
Ye Juechen: "..."
This theory does not make sense. Concubine Duan was brainwashed by Hua Yanxi and firmly believed in this matter.
"My son, I still have something to do. I won't send my mother and concubine away. She can go back by herself." With that said, Ye Juechen left Concubine Duan who was still chattering away and strode away.
Concubine Duan looked at her son's gloomy face when he left and shook her head. It seemed that he still didn't listen to her words. She still had to find a few outstanding women to get his attention back. She couldn't let him go.
Falling deeper and deeper.
The more Ye Juechen thought about it, the angrier he became. After leaving the palace, he went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion with murderous intent.
Hua Yanxi is cooking in the kitchen now. She is in a good mood today, so she plans to reward Xiaobai. After all, he got first place in the exam yesterday.
Children should be encouraged more, reason with them when they make mistakes, praise them when they perform well, and resolutely implement happy teaching.
When Ye Yibai came back, he heard that Hua Yanxi was cooking. He threw down the book excitedly and went over.
"Yanyan, Yanyan, are you making delicious food for me?" Ye Yibai ran in, hugged Hua Yanxi's waist from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder, feeling particularly attached to her.
"I'm back. I'm cooking and there's a lot of smoke. You go back first."
"Hug me for a while longer."
There was a stove in the front and a heat source in the back. Hua Yanxi was caught in the middle and was roasted to the point of exhaustion.
"Okay, don't make trouble for me here, it will get dark if you keep grinding."
Ye Yibai was about to speak when suddenly, a person came out of the door.
The captain of the guard saw this dazzling scene as soon as he entered the door. He turned around and turned his back to the two of them: "The seventh prince is here, and he specifically said that he wants to see the madam."
Hua Yanxi heard this: "Why is he here? Is he here to pass on the imperial edict? I'll go take a look."
Ye Yibai held her down and said, "It can't be him who is passing on the imperial edict. There must be someone from the palace. It should be something else. You continue cooking and I'll go watch."
Hua Yanxi thought about it and realized that it was true, cooking should not be done halfway.
After Ye Yibai went out, Hua Yanxi called two more cooks to help her prepare some dishes.
Ye Juechen helped her a little today, just take him with her for dinner.
Ye Juechen, who was so angry at this moment, couldn't eat at all. He just wanted to pull out Hua Yanxi and squirt her hard.
Although his mother-in-law's actions and thoughts were wrong, she couldn't just discredit him just to clear herself.
It was also written so well that if the protagonist hadn't been himself, he would have believed it.
He didn't want to touch the tea cup brought by the maid, and after waiting for a long time, no one came. He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only walk back and forth in the hall by himself.
When Ye Yibai came in, he saw Ye Juechen with such a calf-like look. He didn't ask why, he sat on the main seat and didn't say anything, just letting him do nothing.
When Ye Juechen saw Ye Yibai, he ignored him and was still waiting for Hua Yanxi. From time to time he would look to the back hall and front yard, waiting for Hua Yanxi to show up and express her first anger.
Ye Yibai got tired of sitting and reading, so he put his hand on his chin to read, and after a while he switched to the other hand.
After a while, Ye Juechen couldn't bear it anymore and said to Ye Yibai, "Why hasn't your wife come out yet? She's so annoying."
Ye Yibai was angry: "She is busy and has no time."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" It was in vain that he had been brewing for so long, and it was very tiring to get his anger to its peak.
"You didn't ask me." Ye Yibai rolled his eyes.
Ye Juechen didn't want to argue with him, so he simply sat back, picked up the cold tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, extinguishing the small flame.
Ye Juechen returned to his usual appearance, arrogant and cold: "When will she finish her work?"
"have no idea."
"Then let the guard call me again. I have something urgent."
"If it's an emergency, just tell me." Ye Yibai said unhappily: "You guys have different identities, so it's best not to hang out together all day long."
"Who's talking about being together like her?" Ye Juechen sneered.
As I said that, the feeling of depression in my heart came again.
Looking at Ye Yibai on the main seat, Ye Juechen suddenly said coldly: "Although you can't control your wife, can you play a little role? Can you stop her from showing up every day and talking out of tune?"
"Who said I can't control it?" Ye Yibai suddenly jumped up, sitting up straight with his back and his hands on his knees. He wanted to be upright and upright, and he kept his posture as the head of the family.
Ye Juechen sneered: "You can control her, but let me ask you, if your wife does something bad, how will you control her?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and blurted out without hesitation: "Break the legs first, then chain them up and reason with her."
"real?"
All Ye Yibai would give him was a cold snort.
Ye Juechen rolled his eyes. He was dubious about Ye Yibai's words, but his silly brother's behavior was always unpredictable. Maybe once or twice out of ten times, he could control his arrogant wife.
.
Hua Yanxi set a trap for herself, and he could also set it for her. Isn't this a good opportunity right now?
Thinking like this, Ye Juechen cleared his throat and started to lie: "Who has the final say in what your family usually says?"
"Of course it's me, the head of the family, for nothing?" Ye Yibai glanced at him.
"I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not."
"..." Ye Juechen took a deep breath: "I don't come here often, so I don't know much about your family."
"You still want to come here often and treat our house as a vegetable market for you to browse?" If it weren't for the fact that he was now helping Hua Yanxi gain control of the salt merchant, he would have been kicked out long ago.
"Ahem, I heard that your wife is keen on doing business recently and often has intimate activities with some foreign men. The rumors are quite unpleasant." Ye Juechen scratched the back of his ear uncomfortably as he spoke.
The stories told were naturally not as lively, interesting and dry as Hua Yanxi's.
It was his first time to smear people, and he couldn't bear the experience.
"Why don't I know? Yan Yan never told me."
Ye Juechen could only bite the bullet and continue to make up: "Of course she doesn't dare to tell you. After all, women will suffer more if word of this kind of thing spreads, and it is not an honorable thing for a woman to go out to do business and be taken advantage of.
