Chapter 135 A Woman's Matter

Things are not complicated, even absurdly simple.

Ayu has been working with her mother, Aunt Zhen, as a servant in the Ye family since she was a child, and the husband she will get after reaching the age of 20 is also a servant of the Ye family.This kind of situation is not uncommon in Yinzhou. Almost everyone here is inextricably related to the Ye family. It is even an honor to serve the Ye family for generations and become a domestic servant.

But Ayu's situation is a bit special.

Her main family is the Marquis of Wu'an, which belongs to a side branch.Her husband is the servant of the seventh uncle of the Ye clan.

Ayu's husband is a dutiful person, and he is highly relied on by the master's family. However, most of the maids in the backyard have their eyes higher than the sky, delusional to be concubines, and have no choice but to match when they are old, so naturally they will not fall in love with this vulgar man.Ayu's husband decided to settle for the next best thing, and after being introduced by a matchmaker, he fell in love with Ayu.

Ayu is naturally dissatisfied with her husband's appearance, but the old man has passed away long ago, and the husband and wife are not in Yinzhou, so she has no backing.Fortunately, although the man was ugly, he was gentle, and he did a decent job in Qishugong's house, which was quite lucrative. After thinking about it for a while, Ayu reluctantly agreed.

After marriage, Ayu got her husband's considerateness, and found a leisurely job in the backyard of the master's house, and her small life was considered nourishing.However, because of a small mess, this peaceful little family was never restored.

Here I have to mention a troublesome matter in Qishugong's backyard.

Perhaps it was because of the injustice caused by the despicable means of suppressing Ye Ziyun back then. Seventh uncle's six sons, two died young, and one was disabled. A grandson!
However, this single seedling has been deficient since childhood, and has countless concubines but can't add another piece of incense to the Ye family.

For this matter, Qi Shugong's family prayed to God countless times, but there was no news.

Ye Xiaonan's daughter-in-law, Zhang Shi, was born in a great family and knew that she was not up to the mark, so she didn't dare to be jealous, so she spent all her time looking for a concubine for her husband, hoping that the lucky one would give birth to a golden baby for the Ye family.However, after several years of tossing, let alone a man with a handle, there is not a single one with a big belly.

Ayu is just a servant, of average appearance, and she is already a married woman, so the filth in the inner house has nothing to do with her.But she offended Grandma Sun.

This Grandma Sun is well-known in most of Yinzhou for being narrow-minded and vindictive, she is so eloquent that she is liked by the Young Madam, she is used to domineering in daily life, and she dares to argue with her when she sees that Ayu has no roots , Immediately rolled his eyes, and had a wicked idea, claiming that Ayu's birthday horoscope is quite compatible with the husband, and he is suitable for a man, so why not let her be a seed girl?
The so-called "seed daughters" are those who are used as reproductive tools for the noble ladies who can't bear children in the back house, which is even worse than the low class.As a famous family, the Ye family shouldn't have done such immoral things.However, for the sake of future generations, the Zhang family had already been in chaos for a long time. Hearing the old woman's mention, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to discuss with Ayu's husband.

It is impossible for any man with a bit of blood to agree to such absurd request.Although Ayu's husband is a domestic slave, he is also a good husband who takes pity on his wife. Hearing this, he is furious and almost fights.The person in charge also knew that this request was absurd, but the young lady was not interested in his wife, so naturally it was irrelevant, so after a few words of reassurance, he conspired with Nanny Sun and came up with a wicked idea.

Half a month later, Ayu's husband had an accident. On the way to deliver things, people and things fell off the cliff, leaving no bones left.Hearing the bad news, Ayu cried until the sky was dark and her eyes were swollen and painful. Before she could recover, she was forced by the housekeeper to change the short contract into a prostitution contract on the grounds that she had lost valuables.

Needless to say, after all, Ayu is a woman with no roots, and the Ye family is powerful. After several unsuccessful attempts to kill her, Ayu also accepted her fate and became the housekeeper of the Ye family.It's strange to say, but after serving her three or five times, she was actually pregnant!The most amazing thing is that during her pregnancy, good news came out from the inner courtyard one after another, and five of the more than 30 concubines were pregnant!

Uncle Seven grinned happily, and Nanny Sun, who came up with such a wicked idea, immediately became a big celebrity in the backyard.It's just that the wicked woman was trying to revenge herself, but she didn't expect her words to become a prophecy, and instead made Ayu a lucky person.She couldn't get rid of her hatred, and then she made a poisonous plan, telling the young lady that the child in Ayu's stomach is the lucky star of the Ye family, but since ancient times, fortune and misfortune have been dependent on each other, and after Ayu gave birth to this blessing, she might become the Ye family's lucky star. Disasters hinder future generations.

Ever since Ayu became pregnant, the Young Madam has been obedient to Grandma Sun. After hearing her nagging, Mrs. Zhang immediately decided that when the child is born, she will—

"It's abominable!"

Ye Chuan couldn't stand listening to it anymore, he had always hated the harsh methods of keeping the son and leaving the mother, and the fact that the seventh uncle's lineage was so harmful for the sake of the succession of his children and grandchildren made him furious.

Fortunately, despite being excited, Ye Chuan still had reason. He first ordered his servants to take Ayu away who was crying so hard, and then said to Uncle Jiu with a cold face: "Would the clan not ignore such a scandal?"

Ye Yingpi smiled and said: "The incense of descendants is the top priority in the clan. Ayu is not from the Ye family. Why should the clan give her justice?"

Ye Chuan remained silent. Indeed, in the eyes of the elders of the clan, the continuation of Ye's orthodox incense is more important than anything else.

But Li Ci felt that things were not that simple.

It's not that Jiu Shugong can't stand out, but he doesn't want to stand out.

Favor is not compared to charity, and the beneficiary must be known by the beneficiary.Uncle Ninth is very shrewd. He took in Ayu just to trap Ye Chuan with favors. How could he silently advocate justice for Ayu?

What's more, Jiu Shugong, as the elder of the Ye family, even if he is dissatisfied with Qi Shugong's behavior, he still has to take into account the dignity of the Ye family.If he came forward, after several compromises, the best result Ayu can get is nothing more than more compensation from her husband's family, Zhang's reward her as an aunt, and let her and the child have a small courtyard to stay.

Such a solution seems to be happy for everyone, but in fact it is a catastrophe.

Anyone who has been tempered in the backyard knows that the aunt is only half a master, and her status is not as good as that of the shameless maids.What's more, Ayu offended Mrs. Zhang and Nanny Sun to death, and going back to Ye's house to be an aunt is tantamount to going into the mouth of a tiger!

If something happens again at that time, Uncle Jiu didn't reap the benefits, but caused a lot of trouble instead!

No wonder they sent people over in a hurry.

But... what if Ye Chuan didn't return to his hometown to worship his ancestors?What will Uncle Jiu do?
Li Ci glanced at the smiling Ninth Uncle, and immediately understood that since he intended to sell grace to Ye Chuan, he also used Ye Chuan's hand to suppress Seventh Uncle's arrogance.If Ye Chuan doesn't go back to his hometown, he will naturally follow the good people to the end and send someone to send Ayu to the Hou's Mansion in the capital.

Thinking of this, Li Ci felt a little disdainful towards Uncle Jiu, but in order to save face, he had to pretend to be respectful, interjecting, "Then... Uncle Jiu means—"

"A Chuan is a person with ideas. I am only responsible for sending people to you. You young people can handle the rest by yourself."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Jiu raised his head and glanced at Ye Ying. Ye Ying knew that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man and moved him back to the couch.

It's just that he got used to the softness of the hidden pouch, and when he sat on the hard wooden plank, the old man felt a little uncomfortable. He grabbed two of them cheekily and said while playing with them: "Nephew and granddaughter-in-law, this hidden pouch is very delicate..."

Seeing that the old man liked the hidden bag, Li Ci naturally wouldn't be stingy, and said with a smile: "The maids and women around me made it when they were bored, and it's not worth a lot of money. Uncle Jiu likes it, so just take it."

"My nephew's daughter-in-law is indeed a straightforward person. Just to say that to you, Uncle Jiu will have to sell you a favor. Mrs. Zhang has some relationship with the Fu family, so she has to call you aunt."

Having said that, he smiled secretly and waved away.

Li Ci and Ye Chuan immediately saluted and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Nine."

……

……

The grandfather and grandson had just left the rich family, so Li Ci smiled and said to Ye Chuan: "Uncle Jiu is an interesting person."

Ye Chuan knew that what she said was ironic, but Ye's family really didn't live up to it. After being ridiculed, they could only smile bitterly: "The Ye family's internal strife is getting more and more serious."

"No wonder my sister doesn't want Ye's daughter to enter the palace. Such a heart, what can be done!"

Li Ci sighed, turned around and found a chair to sit down on, and said, "How do you plan to solve Ayu's matter?"

Ye Chuan thought about it, and said cautiously: "Grandfather is admired by thousands of people in the court, but in the clan, because of his status as an offshoot, his words don't carry much weight. The seventh uncle Ayu committed is one of the most respected elders in the clan. Even if I want to solve this matter without using power and oppression, I-"

A trace of hesitation crossed Ye Chuan's face.

Li Ci understood that although Ye Chuan hated some stubborn people in the clan, he never thought of breaking with the clan.The Ye family in Yinzhou has been passed down for thousands of years and has already formed a political force that cannot be ignored.Ye Wurong has no appearance but firmly occupies the throne of the queen, and Ye Chuan can mobilize people in the army like his wrist, not only relying on Ye Ziyun's name as the military god.

The invisible influence of the Ye family on the army has long been no less than that of the monarch.

After figuring this out, Li Ci immediately changed his tone and said, "A woman like me has no right to speak about matters in the clan. I can do whatever I want. Ayu's side has the help of Lama Nanny." appease."

"Thanks a lot."

Ye Chuan said guiltily.

Li Ci smiled sweetly, and said, "Sister Ayu is an old man who takes care of you, she is not like an ordinary servant girl. What's more, Uncle Qi's matter is really unkind. If you are worried about tearing your face, you might as well let me come forward—"

"you?"

His eyes were full of distrust, and Li Ci smiled and said: "I am the bride of the Ye family, so it is only natural to invite my sisters-in-law to a banquet on the opportunity of returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors, right?"

Ye Chuan thought about it, and it was indeed reasonable.

But he couldn't help becoming worried again, and said, "Aren't you afraid that they will take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Li Ci covered her mouth and smiled, pointed at Bai Yinmei who was beside her, and said, "If you want to play tricks in front of me, you have to be capable."

Ye Chuan followed her line of sight, and laughed loudly: "This inner house matter, it really is more suitable for women to deal with women."

Since it's a matter of the inner house, it's enough for a woman to come forward, but for a man - it's still necessary to have a drink and talk.

In fact, Li Ci also has a deeper consideration.She saw that Uncle Ninth wanted to join Ye Chuan, but Uncle Seven and Ye Chuan had no possibility of reconciliation.If you help Ayu get the child back, and then persuade Uncle Jiu to play tricks so that there are no males in Ye Xiaonan's backyard, then the position of Uncle Jiu's lineage in the clan will be more stable, and Uncle Seven's line will be in Ye Chuan's hands from now on !
It's just that although Uncle Jiu had a good plan, Li Ci didn't want him to monopolize this shocking advantage.

And that Ayu...

Thinking of this, Li Ci suddenly had an idea, since there is going to be trouble, why not make a big mess!
