The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Ye Yuxiao stared at her toes and remained silent.

"Go back quickly. I'll be back tomorrow morning. I won't embarrass your identity for too long." Ouyang Sheng advised.

Ye Yuxiao remained silent.

Ouyang Sheng was cruel, ignored her, turned around and disappeared into the wind.

He walked through the streets and alleys for more than an hour, and finally stopped at the entrance of the hermitage.

Ye Yuxiao followed him closely, without missing a step, walking out of breath and covered with sweat.

Ouyang Sheng forced himself not to look at her, jumped from the wall into the yard, and left her outside the door.

Before the news of his adultery and childbirth has spread, it's time to bring up the matter of divorce when he goes to see the saint tomorrow morning. He couldn't leave her to face the ridicule and ridicule of the world. Ouyang Sheng leaned against the closed courtyard door, the pain in his heart increasing.

Ye Yuxiao did not come forward to knock on the door. She turned around and sat down on the steps, holding her chin in her hands and looking at a clump of dead grass in the ground in a daze.

She had just walked and was covered in hot sweat. When she stopped for a moment, the cold wind blew, and she immediately started shivering and sneezed several times.

She had no choice but to put down the hand holding her chin and hug her shoulders tightly to keep herself warm.

But the biting cold wind could not be blocked by hugging her shoulders. Her hands and feet gradually became cold, and her face hurt from the wind.

I don't know how long it took, but the courtyard door suddenly opened with a creak.

Ye Yuxiao almost jumped up and rushed to the door.

Inside the door, the tall Ouyang Sheng lowered his head slightly and looked at her condescendingly. His deep eyes contained countless emotions, but there was no expression on his face.

Ye Yuxiao thought he would ask, "Why haven't you left yet?" However, he just whispered two words: "Come in."

Ye Yuxiao was stunned for a while, then suddenly swooped into his arms.

Ouyang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed her away and closed the courtyard door.

Ye Yuxiao chased after him a few steps and tried to tug on his sleeves, but her hands were frozen. She tugged several times, but she didn't even grab the corner of his clothes.

Ouyang Sheng looked down for a while, but he still couldn't make up his mind. He held her hand and led her into the house.

"Can't you wait all night? Can't you just leave me alone for a while?" Ouyang Sheng opened the cabinet and rummaged for a long time, pulled out a thin blanket, and threw it to Ye Yuxiao.

"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for you to make peace with me tomorrow morning?" Ye Yuxiao caught the blanket and shook it, shaking out the ashes on the floor.

Ouyang Sheng was silent for a while and said, "This is what we agreed."

"Who told you?" Ye Yuxiao threw the blanket aside in disgust and sniffed hard, "I'm cold!"

Ouyang Sheng had no choice but to stop talking and start walking out: "I remember that there was a brazier and silver charcoal in the warehouse."

"In the westmost room of the back room." Ye Yuxiao ran out.

The old man heard the noise and came out of the concierge belatedly, but when he saw it was the two of them, he shrank back.

Under Ye Yuxiao's guidance, Ouyang Sheng found the brazier and silver charcoal. The two of them worked together to carry the things to the study, and with great effort, lit the fire.

Ye Yuxiao went to the fire and roasted it for a long time. Finally, the cold air dissipated. He held his face and said, "This fire is really good, suitable for roasting chestnuts."

Ouyang Sheng stood up subconsciously and was about to buy chestnuts, but after thinking for a while, he sat back and said, "You have to know that I will be a commoner soon. I can no longer rely on my status and power to go out in the middle of the night." Knock on someone’s door and buy you chestnuts.”

Although in addition to the title of King of Qi, he also has the errand of the Commander-in-Chief of the Zuo Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies of the Xi Dynasty has always been held by someone with a title. When the emperor takes back his title, this job will be replaced. It's over.

Ye Yuxiao picked up the tongs, stirred the charcoal fire, and clicked his tongue: "Isn't it just chestnuts? What's the big deal? If you can't buy them at night, buy them during the day."

"From childhood to adulthood." Ouyang Sheng said, "I will no longer be able to protect you from now on."

"Who wants you to protect me?"

"I will have nothing, no identity, no status, no even money."

"I have money, I will support you!" Ye Yuxiao said proudly.

Ouyang Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and held his head.

"Be good and be obedient." Ye Yuxiao touched his head, "The emperor will be angry if we reconcile so frequently."

"The way I am now is because I have wronged you. Your Majesty will not blame you." Ouyang Sheng said.

"What about King Heng? Don't you care? As long as we reconcile, he will continue to pester me." Ye Yuxiao said, pulling out the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" from his arms, "This is what you wrote yourself, You have to ensure that I won’t be harassed by him, and you can’t keep your word.”

"If we divorce and he still insists on marrying you, I have a way to help you settle it. You don't have to worry about it." Ouyang Sheng said firmly.

"What, you have taken care of all the worries for me? So you are determined not to want me anymore?" Ye Yuxiao crumpled the "Three Chapters of the Agreement" into a ball, threw it into the charcoal fire, and covered her face.

Ouyang Sheng watched her tears spill out between her fingers and flow down the back of her hands. His heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and even his breathing stopped for a moment. She was so sad. She thinks he doesn't want her anymore...

Ouyang Sheng felt his throat tightening with bitterness and struggled to speak: "Do you know what you will face if you continue to be with me?"

"I know. Isn't it just gossip? I'm not afraid." Ye Yuxiao cried.

"No, you don't know." Ouyang Sheng said with a bitter smile, "If it was just gossip, why would I push you out? After the news spreads, if you go to visit, someone will laugh at you to your face; at other people's banquets, I won’t invite you again; even if you just go out for a walk, someone will spit at you and throw rotten eggs; if you take money to buy something, the shopkeeper may kick you out. I would rather not make money than do this. business; even if you hide at home and don’t go out, there are still many bad guys who will come and throw excrement on your door..."

"Isn't your ideal to open a girls' school? If you insist on not making peace with me, your girls' school will definitely not be opened. You can't recruit people at all. Even if you recruit a few people who are not afraid of trouble, the government will not You will be allowed to open..."

So scary? Is this really the way things are in the world, or is he just being alarmist in order to scare her away? Ye Yuxiao was too lazy to distinguish and raised a tearful face: "If I say I'm not afraid now, you won't believe me. Why don't you give me a chance and we'll see."

Ouyang Sheng looked at her eyes that were swollen from crying and her red nose, and he couldn't say "no" at all.

Seeing that his attitude had relaxed, Ye Yuxiao immediately changed the subject: "The charcoal fire is not good. My front is almost burnt, but my back is cold."

"..." Ouyang Sheng held his forehead, "Easy, turn it over and bake."

Turn over? How to translate? Turn your back on the coals? Ye Yuxiao moved over on her hands and knees and squeezed into his arms: "You help me block the wind, so I won't be cold."
