farmer's wife

Chapter 157
Both Xiao Lie and Fu Yan looked at Ye Zhuo.

Ye Zhuo's eyes were clear.

Xiao Lie nodded, and he said to Fu Yan: "Then you take Ah Jian back and rest first, I will talk to uncle for a while."

Qi Tong helped Zhong Qing's hand to stand up, and said to Fu Yan with a smile, "Let's go, let's go back and have a rest first, we are exhausted from traveling all the way. Let the two of them talk on their own."

"What the princess said is true." Fu Yan led Xiao Jian to stand up.

With the maids holding the lamps, Fu Yan and Qi Tong walked side by side for halfway and went back to their respective courtyards.

In the large study in the front yard.

"Sit down." Xiao Lie sat down in front of Ye Zhuo.

Under the flickering candlelight, Ye Zhuo looked deeply at Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie lowered his eyes and sat there quietly.

"Ariel..." Ye Zhuo sighed, and said slowly, "You...do you blame me?"

Xiao Lie looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle didn't know about what happened back then, so how could it be blamed on Uncle?"

Ye Zhuo wiped his face: "Your mother...has she never mentioned us?"

"She doesn't remember. When she thinks about the past, her head hurts badly, and then she doesn't think about it anymore."

Ye Zhuo was silent for a while, and then said again: "I will hide your background first. Now rashly revealing your mother's experience will push you to the forefront, and the world's eyes and comments will also ruin her reputation. "

After all, the little girl ran out of the house by herself, and she has already left, so there is no need for people to talk about her name behind her.

Ye Zhuo: "I just want to wrong you two brothers. I told the outside world that you and I are destined, and I recognized you as my god-nephew. But don't worry, Ariel, you are at home with uncle."

Xiao Lie this time is to visit relatives on behalf of his mother, and to accompany Fu Yan to Beijing to find news about Zhao Yunyan.

He has never been jealous of the wealth and splendor of Duke Yongyi's mansion, nor has he thought of occupying it for a long time.

Therefore, he doesn't care if their identities are true or not. For the sake of his mother's reputation, he can just say that they are relatives.

But those who really hurt their mothers!He couldn't help asking.

"Uncle will arrange these things." Xiao Lie looked at Ye Zhuo, his tone became colder: "The other side of Changping uncle's residence, what is uncle's plan?"

When mentioning that family, Ye Zhuo also looked cold and stern: "I've already made arrangements, don't mention your mother's matter, start with other matters."

Ye Zhuo gave a rough outline of his own arrangement: "The memorial to the next eldest son of the uncle of Changping has been suppressed by His Majesty. I have secretly collected the things that the old uncle and that poisonous woman did, and then hand them over together." At Yushitai, even if he wanted to beg for bones, he might not be able to escape unscathed."

Xiao Lie had nowhere to intervene in official matters.Now that Uncle has already made arrangements, he will not make any more trouble, just wait patiently for the result.

Xiao Lie: "Please trouble uncle."

"If you don't mention it, I won't let them go." Ye Zhuo said sadly, that was also the younger sister he protected since childhood.

The uncle of the Changping uncle's mansion has a good skin, relying on the shade of his ancestors to hold a half-official position.His first wife, Xu Di, and the concubine in the mansion had no children for many years. When he was away on business, he met Yao Yaxuan, a simple and beautiful merchant woman, and took him as his concubine.When he returned to Beijing, the eldest son Ye Zhuo was born, and he was brought up by the grandmother in the mansion. Mrs. Changping secretly hated her but had nowhere to reach out.

After she had worked so hard to give birth to her son, Xu Di turned around and gave Uncle Changping a few more young ladies with delicate faces and different personalities, which made Uncle Changping linger on.

I only hear newcomers laughing and never hear old ones cry.Yao Yaxuan was naturally left behind by him.

Later, there were more sons-in-law and many sons-in-law and daughters-in-law in the mansion. Uncle Changping's thoughts were drawn and divided, so he couldn't care about Yao Yaxuan's mother and son.

The aunt is strong, the biological mother is weak, and the younger sister Ye Jin was raised by Ye Zhuo.

It's a pity that he fought desperately for his future and his family, but what he got in return was the news of the death of his mother and sister.

Tiger poison does not eat its offspring, but Uncle Changping doesn't care about his daughter's "death" of illness, which is why Ye Zhuo would resolutely bear the infamy and sever the relationship.From then on, he was the only one left in the world, why would he let these blood-sucking moths pick him up again? !

Thinking of those bloody past events, Ye Zhuo felt a layer of blood in front of his eyes again.

The faces of his grandmother, mother, and younger sister alternated in front of him, but they were all miserable and painful.

"Uncle? Uncle!" Xiao Lie's raised voice brought Ye Zhuo back to his senses.

"Huh?" Ye Zhuo's eyes fell on Xiao Lie again, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Lie: "It's nothing." Just now when his uncle was staring at the candle in shock, Xiao Lie called him a few times.

"Where are we talking?" Ye Zhuo coughed lightly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "By the way, I will take you to worship your grandmother in two days."

After severing ties, Ye Zhuo forcefully led people to snatch the coffins of his mother and younger sister and rebury them in his newly built Ye family ancestral hall.

Yao Yaxuan is a concubine and is not eligible to enter Ye's ancestral hall. The concubine Ye Jin died of "smallpox", so naturally she would not be allowed to enter.Uncle Changping didn't care about these things, Mrs. Changping's wife Xu Di simply arranged and settled them in a dilapidated place at will.

When Ye Zhuo found out after he came back, he was so angry that he wanted to tear up the entire uncle's mansion, and finally moved the coffins of his mother and younger sister to bury them for sacrifice.

The tea in the cup was already cold, Xiao Lie got up and poured it for his uncle again: "I see, I will talk to A Yan and A Jian."

"Row."

Speaking of Xiao Jian, Ye Zhuo looked sideways at his tall and handsome nephew, and stroked his long beard in satisfaction: "When you arrive in Yunjing, I plan to send Ah Jian to the Imperial College to study with Tian Ze. Ah Lie, you What are your plans?"

This eldest nephew has a calm personality and looks similar to his mighty figure back then. What kind of job should I find for him?Ye Zhuo was already thinking about the official positions in the capital that could be filled in his mind.

Xiao Lie hesitated for a while, but still said their original plan: "Uncle, Ah Yan and I just came to visit you this time, and when the weather is warmer in spring next year, we will bring Nuonuo back together."

"Go back?" Ye Zhuo looked at him in surprise.

"Why do you go back here? When you come to uncle, you will live here, and let uncle do something for your mother."

"Uncle, we still have a shop in Shizhou City, and it's just being taken care of temporarily. We still have to go back next year."

"How does this work!"

"Uncle wants to see us, we'll come over again; or if uncle wants to come to Shizhou City for a walk."

Ye Zhuo persuaded a few more words, Xiao Lie's tone was calm and patient, but he still insisted on going back.

Is this nephew still stubborn?Hey!This is also to me!Ye Zhuo was both angry and happy.

He said: "Let's talk about going back. There are still a few months left, and Xiao Jian will go to the Imperial College to study. You..."
