The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

"A man's mouth is a liar? Which ancient person said this?" Ouyang Sheng originally had a lot of sadness, but her words made her laugh.

"No matter who said it, men's words are all lies anyway." Ye Yuxiao stuffed the handkerchief into her sleeves and stood up, "It's almost time for the old lady to wake up. Let's go see her."

"Yeah." Ouyang Sheng responded, and the two of them walked out.

On the way, Ye Yuxiao reminded Ouyang Sheng: "This matter is related to the old lady's reputation. Even if you want to seek justice for her, you must first seek her consent."

"That's natural." Ouyang Sheng nodded in agreement.

The two of them returned to Xiaoyun Courtyard. As soon as they entered the door, Xiaozhan greeted them: "Your Majesty, Princess, the old lady is awake, but she wants to die and refuses to take medicine."

Ye Yuxiao and Ouyang Sheng looked at each other, quickened their pace, and entered the east room in the west wing of the backyard.

In the east room, the old woman was lying on her back on the bed, her arms hanging on the edge of the bed, motionless, as if she was lifeless.

Ye Yuxiao walked over quickly and called: "Old lady!"

The old woman seemed not to hear and had no reaction.

Ouyang Sheng came over, knelt down beside the bed and said, "The reason why you are seeking death is because you are worried that as long as you are alive, the concubine will not be at ease and will cause me a lot of trouble, right?"

The old woman finally moved and slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"But, she has already come to my door to cause trouble for me." Ouyang Sheng said, holding Ye Yuxiao's right hand and raising it to show her, "Her and I have settled a grudge, and there will be no resolution in this life, no matter whether you are alive or not. , I have to settle this account with her."

Ye Yuxiao was slightly surprised and looked sideways at him. Why did his attitude suddenly become so tough? His feelings for Concubine Bai seemed to be more complicated before, and he had never spoken so straightforwardly. Is it because Concubine Bai forced her way into Xiaoyun Court today and has murderous intentions towards her?

The old woman's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she only made a sound of ahhh.

Ye Yuxiao was going to get some paper and ink, but Ouyang Sheng waved to her and continued: "I know very well what the consequences will be after exposing the scandal of that year. But I don't care. I just want to do it every night for the rest of my life. Can sleep peacefully.”

As the old woman listened, tears gradually overflowed and filled her cheek with knife marks.

Ouyang Sheng took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped away her tears: "I can't build my so-called future and reputation on the blood and tears of my biological mother. I want evil people to be punished, I want justice to be done, and I want justice to be done. I need to call you mother in a dignified manner."

The old woman made a sound in her throat and couldn't help crying.

Ye Yuxiao's eyes were also moist, and his thoughts suddenly drifted away. Even in modern times, how many women have been raped and have not reported it due to various pressures. Ouyang Sheng was willing to risk everything to seek justice for his mother.

His idea was obviously out of tune with the times, but she felt that he was doing the right thing. To hold back and compromise will only allow the evildoers to go unpunished and condone more crimes.

At this moment, she felt that Ouyang Sheng was extremely brave.

Ye Yuxiao took out the handkerchief, pressed the corners of his eyes, and held the old woman's hand: "Old lady, once this matter is revealed, it will mainly affect two people. The first is Ouyang Sheng, but he has already said it just now , he doesn’t care. Secondly, it’s you. I know that not everyone can bear the reputation of being kidnapped and humiliated by your own sister, but think about it, even if you don’t expose this matter, what are you doing? My voice is ruined, my appearance is ruined, I have been hiding from people for half my life, and my son has become someone else's. If you expose this matter, although you will hear some gossip, from now on you can be filial to your son while you are alive, and you can enjoy your children and grandchildren in peace after death. The incense offered by future generations. I think the latter is better than the former."

Reputation is indeed important, but compared with the miserable experience before, it seems that it is really not that important.

The old woman looked at Ye Yuxiao, nodded, and then shook her head.

Ye Yuxiao didn't know why and wanted to get pen and paper again.

Ouyang Sheng immediately said: "The old lady has had a hard life, so she doesn't care about it. What she is worried about is that she is still the daughter of the Bai family. No matter whether we expose this matter or not, whether I deny her or not, it is not us who has the final say. of."

As expected, the old lady nodded repeatedly.

After all, they are mother and son, connected by blood and soul. Ye Yuxiao suddenly felt jealous and poked Ouyang Sheng's arm hard before saying: "This matter is easy to handle. If the Bai family is willing to cooperate, the old lady will still be their daughter; if they object, then she will not be their daughter." The daughter of the Bai family. Anyway, the most important thing is to expose the concubine's crime. As for whether the old lady is the second young lady of the Bai family, what does it matter?"

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Ouyang Sheng nodded slowly: "You are right."

Ye Yuxiao gently patted the back of the old lady's hand and said with a smile: "You have a son now, so don't worry about anything. Just listen to his arrangements. Just take good care of your injuries. When the injuries heal, we will report her." "

Maybe her solution had an effect, or maybe it was Ouyang Sheng's voice that woke her up. The old lady didn't hesitate anymore and nodded heavily to her.

Ye Yuxiao observed her expression carefully and felt that she had really mustered up the courage to face everything and finally relaxed.

Ouyang Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for Ye Yuxiao to leave together so that the old lady could have a good rest.

Ye Yuxiao stood up and took two steps, but then turned back and smiled at the old lady: "You probably don't know my identity yet, right? I am Princess Qi, your daughter-in-law."

"..." Ouyang Sheng rubbed his temples, "What are you talking about?"

"Am I not?" Ye Yuxiao turned to glare at him.

"Fake." Ouyang Sheng was afraid that it would be troublesome to explain to the old lady, so he first dragged Ye Yuxiao out of the room, and then whispered.

"You confessed!" Ye Yuxiao pinched him hard.

Ouyang Sheng said nothing more, silently turned around and headed out.

Ye Yuxiao stamped her feet angrily and ran back to the bedroom.

When Ouyang Sheng came back from the cold wind blowing outside, he saw Ye Yuxiao lying on the pillow, with a suspicious water color in the corners of his eyes. I don't know if she just cried or if the tears she shed for the old lady have not dried yet.

Ouyang Sheng watched quietly for a while, but it didn't pass. She was too naive and didn't know what she would face in the future; but he couldn't be so selfish and let her bear everything she shouldn't bear. There is no need for him to say anything more now. When that day comes, she will understand everything.

But what she said before was wrong. There is no contradiction between reconciliation and not letting her get hurt again in this life. The former is protection, and so is the latter.
