The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Chapter 155 Rushing into the Sea of ​​Fire

"I knew you would talk about this." Ye Yuxiao muttered and pushed back the "Three Chapters of Agreement", "But the concubine is your biological mother. Since she is willing to take charge of the house, let her take charge of the house. Everyone will be happy. What’s wrong?”

Ye Yuxiao was right, the concubine was his biological mother, why was he like this? In fact, even he himself didn't know what he was checking and what kind of results he wanted to get. Ouyang Sheng was confused for a moment and said: "Although you and I are fake, others don't know. Since you married into Prince Qi's palace and became the daughter-in-law of the Ouyang family, you don't help your mother-in-law share the household chores. It doesn't make sense."

"Is that all?" Ye Yuxiao tilted her head and raised her eyebrows.

Ouyang Sheng looked at her bright eyes and suddenly felt that he couldn't hide this matter. This woman was too smart. But he couldn't tell the truth, not because he didn't believe her, but because he couldn't tell her. He thought for a while and gave her a reason: "You handle the accounts first, and focus on checking whether there are any problems with the accounts in the past six months."

"You want to check your mother's account?" Ye Yuxiao's eyes widened.

Ouyang Sheng knocked on the table: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you can help or not."

"Help." Ye Yuxiao answered simply.

She doesn't like being a housewife, but if it's a purposeful help, that's a different matter.

Ouyang Sheng felt that he was a little bit affected by Ye Yuxiao's temper. He had to tell her something useful before she would believe him. Otherwise, no matter how much he coaxed, it would be useless. She had a thoroughness that was beyond her age.

Anyway, he finally stabilized her, and Ouyang Sheng leaned back on the chair with peace of mind: "Can you set an abacus?"

He really knows how to do it. He learned it in elementary school. Ye Yuxiao nodded.

Ouyang Sheng ordered someone to find a handful for her and said, "Then you should think about it first. I went to the martial arts training ground and haven't practiced seriously for a few days. My bones are almost loose."

"You won't help me with the calculations?!" Although he agreed to help, Ye Yuxiao was still confused when looking at the account books on the table.

"I don't know how." Ouyang Sheng said lightly and walked away.

Ye Yuxiao was so angry that she slapped the table: "Men are indeed unreliable!"

Several maids rushed to help, but they didn't know how to make an abacus, so they had to help pay the bills. Xiaozhan was surprised that Ye Yuxiao knew how to make an abacus. Fortunately, this was not a sophisticated skill. Ye Yuxiao just told a few lies and fooled him.

After calculating for less than half an hour, Ouyang Sheng still had no clue about the accounts, but he hurried back from the martial arts field and said: "The concubine has something to go back to her parents' home, and I will accompany her there."

Ye Yuxiao was immersed in settling accounts and didn't pay attention. She raised a hand and waved it to show that she understood.

After counting for less than two quarters of an hour, the maid hurriedly came to report: "Princess, someone just came to report that something happened to your house in Anding Lane, Xuanwumen Street. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Ye Yuxiao was feeling dizzy and was stunned for a moment before asking: "What happened?"

The maid said, "It's said that someone poured excrement on the gate and the wall of the courtyard."

Throwing shit? ! Ye Yuxiao suddenly woke up.

Xiao Zuan said angrily: "Who is so brave?!"

Ye Yuxiao thought about the previous disputes in this house and did not dare to be careless. He quickly stood up and said, "Xiaozhan, follow me to have a look. Caiyun and Caixia stay here. Put the account books away first and continue the calculation when I come back."

Caiyun and Caixia responded in unison, and Xiaozhan quickly ordered people to prepare their horses.

When they arrived at Anding Lane, they saw dirt on the exterior walls and courtyard door of her house. The enthusiastic neighbors had already seized the culprits, who were four or five children from ordinary families, with an average age of about five years old. . The tools they used to commit crimes were their own...chamber pots and chamber pots.

Can five-year-old children be beaten up, or should they be handed over to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division? Ye Yuxiao was speechless.

The power of Xichao's neighbors is huge. When they saw that Ye Yuxiao was a woman, they helped her find out all the causes and consequences before she could speak. It turned out that someone stuffed these children with candies and encouraged them to throw feces.

The indignant neighbors called the parents of several children, showed them the candies found on the children, and asked them for an explanation. They have good reasons to be angry. Today these naughty kids can pour feces on Ye Yuxiao's house, but who knows if it will be the neighbors' turn tomorrow?

The parents were also very angry, holding their children's ears and questioning them, and some even spanked them on the spot. However, what do five-year-old children know? The person who kept giving them candies and encouraging them to throw excrement was a young boy wearing a brown shirt.

The person wearing a short shirt may be a commoner or a slave. If you say it, you won't say it. It was impossible for Ye Yuxiao to accuse several children, so he had to order Xiaozhan to write down their home addresses in case there were further inquiries in the future.

Fortunately, the courtyard door of her house was locked, and there were not many areas that were stained. Ye Yuxiao left two servants to cook, and ordered Xiaozhan to go to the nearby Xuanwumen Market to buy various snacks as a thank you for the help. of neighbors.

After finishing these things, he returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, only to see flames rising into the sky and thick smoke billowing inside Prince Qi's Mansion. Fire? ! Ye Yuxiao hurriedly dismounted, just as Concubine Bai had just returned from her parents' home, the two of them rushed in together.

"Taifei, what's going on?" Ye Yuxiao asked hurriedly, "Did you come back after receiving the report?"

Concubine Bai shook her head: "I didn't know either. As soon as I got off the car, I heard that Shang Yongyuan was out of water. Ah Sheng had already rushed there first."

Shangyongyuan? When Ye Yuxiao looked at the direction, it really seemed to be Shang Yongyuan, and he suddenly became more anxious. There are many maids and women in Shangyongyuan. Can they escape from such a big fire?

After entering the second gate, passing by the Fuxi Hall, a large number of slaves rushed in, carrying buckets and basins, rushing towards the Shangyongyuan.

Ye Yuxiao saw Caixia among them and hurriedly waved her over. As he hurried on, he asked, "What's going on? I was fine when I went out."

Caixia's face was full of anxiety: "Shortly after you left, Grandma Feng summoned all the servants to Fuxi Hall to lecture. We just found out that Shang Yongyuan was in trouble."

"So, you were all in Fuxi Hall and no one was trapped in Shangyong Courtyard when we were on the water?" Although he vaguely felt that something was fishy, ​​Ye Yuxiao only cared about human life now.

Caixia nodded: "According to Grandma Feng's instructions, we only left Yinhuan to guard the door. She is at the gate of Shangyongyuan and should have escaped."

As long as no one was hurt, Ye Yuxiao felt relieved a little.

When we arrived at the gate of Shangyongyuan, Shangyongyuan was already a sea of ​​fire. Yin Huan was indeed fine, and was leading the slaves to the large water tank in the corner of the courtyard to get water to put out the fire. But there were many slaves who put wet clothes on themselves and rushed into the house despite the fire.

Ye Yuxiao's heart tightened, and he grabbed a little maid and asked: "The fire was so big, why did you go into the house? Is someone trapped?"

The little maid said anxiously: "It's the prince. When the prince saw the fire in Shangyongyuan, he jumped into it and couldn't hold it back!"

"He is still charging into such a big fire? Are you crazy?" Ye Yuxiao was anxious and angry, "No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still made of flesh and blood, and he will be burned into black coals in a short time!"
