Chapter 1100: Tight-lipped
Zhang Juexia was dragged by Ye Beixiu to kneel down in a daze. What?
She became the Lady of Ruian, and Ye Beixiu became the Marquis of Anlan. What?
Zhang Juexia's head was buzzing. She did whatever Ye Beixiu did.
Zhang Juexia was supported by Ye Beixiu and said, "Madam, let's go and keep Eunuch Xu at home. Let him have a simple meal before returning to the capital."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu walked up to Eunuch Xu who was announcing the decree. Eunuch Xu kept staring at Zhang Juexia. After that, he and Ye Beixiu started chatting about family matters.
"Lord Ye, the Emperor has met Madam Hou, but the Empress has not!
When I came to announce the decree, the Queen specifically instructed me to take a good look at Madam Hou.
To be honest, not only the Queen was curious, but everyone was curious about what kind of woman could make Marquis Ye give up his bright future and stay by his side.
However, after what I have seen today and heard about what Madam Hou did in Qingfeng City and Shunhe County, I am no longer curious.
She deserves Lord Ye to treat her like this."
After hearing what Eunuch Xu said, Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu with a complicated look. How big a thing had her man done without telling her?
She hurried forward and took Eunuch Xu's hand, "Eunuch Xu, we have prepared wine and food at home. The journey to the capital is long, thank you for your trouble.
It’s not too late to continue your journey after you have eaten.”
Eunuch Xu nodded and said, "I've heard that Madam Hou, oh no, Lord Rui'an is an excellent cook. We are in for a treat.
"Master Dachen, you and the Lord of Rui'an are old acquaintances. Why don't we eat and drink our fill before continuing our journey?"
Da Chen bowed to Eunuch Xu and said, "I will follow your instructions."
"Okay, then let's rest in Qingfeng City for a day and continue our journey tomorrow.
However, I still have to go to the Shen family to announce the decree, so I would like to trouble Ruian Xiangjun to prepare food. We will come back to eat after we finish our work at the Shen family.
How is your family?
Zhang Juexia was of course delighted. It was such an honor for the chief steward of the palace to be able to have dinner at their house!
"Okay, we'll prepare the food and wait for your arrival.
But, the Shen family?"
Because of Old Madam Shen's matter, Zhang Juexia is still very concerned about the Shen family's affairs.
As for Eunuch Xu, while they were on the road, Dachen had already told him everything he knew about Zhang Juexia.
He was of course aware of the good relationship between Zhang Juexia and Old Madam Shen. After all, this kind of friendship between people of different ages was truly enviable and could be passed down as a good story.
“Mr. Ruian, you are not an outsider, so it’s okay for me to tell you.
The Shen family, just like yours, is very happy!
Madam Shen has been conferred the title of First-Rank Lady by His Majesty."
"this?"
Ye Beixiu stopped Zhang Juexia’s curiosity and said, “Madam, let’s first let Eunuch Xu and Master Chen go to the Shen family to do some work.
How about you ask me your questions while we eat?"
Eunuch Xu looked at Ye Beixiu with satisfaction, "Lord Ye, you are still so considerate.
Let me tell you, considering our friendship in Qinglan City, Madam Hou must prepare the meal carefully.
Dachen told us this when we were on the road.
Mrs. Hou cooks delicious meals!
He said that not only he never forgot it, but even our emperor would mention it from time to time!"
After sending Eunuch Xu and Da Chen away, Zhang Juexia glared at Ye Beixiu, "The imperial edict has arrived, you can't hide it now.
If you don’t tell me what you did in Qinglan City, I’ll have to ask others about it.”
"Say it, definitely say it.
Madam, don’t I want to give you a surprise?
Before I accomplished anything, people who knew us said that I lived a good life because of my wife.
Saying I am a gigolo, I...”
"Are you uncomfortable after hearing these words?"
Ye Beixiu shook his head, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. In fact, what they said is true. I really live a good life thanks to my wife.
It's not just me, it's the same for our entire Yejia Village.
They say theirs, I do mine.
These are also the words that my wife often says.
I just did what I should do, but I didn't ask for an imperial decree for my wife, and I feel a little regretful.
But the current emperor said that you are not the kind of woman who is confined to the backyard, and you should have your own life.
Therefore, I have canonized you alone."
"But I didn't do anything?"
"You saved His Majesty's life and prepared food for Qinglan City. That's enough.
Wang Yuying simply provided some silver to His Majesty and became an imperial merchant."
"Wait, you mean my cousin?"
Ye Beixiu nodded, "Madam, we really shouldn't have kept this from you.
But at that time, life was too difficult.
In order to prevent you from getting scared, we have resorted to this desperate measure."
Zhang Juexia's mind raced as she pieced together the connections. "Ye Beixiu, so Uncle Liu helped you."
"Well, do you know who Uncle Liu was hiding from when he came to our house that year?"
"Who is it? King Cheng?"
"Guess again?"
Zhang Juexia didn't want to guess anymore, because all she had in her mind was making money, and she had never paid attention to these royal affairs.
How would she know this?
"Ye Beixiu, you know me. I'm not interested in these things on a daily basis, so don't make it difficult for me. Just tell me quickly."
"King Cheng was poisoned by his brother, but was discovered by Uncle Liu while he was out practicing medicine and he saved him.
However, this matter was leaked by someone, so King Cheng's brothers wanted to kill Liu Shu.
Uncle Liu then ran to our village and hid there.
Later, after the danger was over, Uncle Liu was still reluctant to leave our home because King Cheng invited Uncle Liu to his fiefdom and wanted him to recruit disciples and teach medical skills in the army.
It’s just that Uncle Liu values his life and doesn’t want to get involved in royal affairs, so he has been hiding in our house.
It was not until King Cheng gave up on him that he boldly began to practice medicine in Shunhe County."
"Then why did he later accept King Cheng's mission?"
Ye Beixiu's eyes lit up, "Madam, can you guess what Uncle Liu and I did when we went to Qinglan City last time?"
"Well, what else?"
"You know Uncle Liu, he likes to practice medicine everywhere.
He has a good heart and cares about the country and the people. As a result, he knows more than we do.
He felt that King Cheng was a capable person. He went to Qinglan City because King Cheng was really injured, and he just took the opportunity to teach everyone in Qinglan City some medical skills.
"What about you?"
"I was protecting Uncle Liu and getting some military experience at the same time."
"But you guys are really tight-lipped."
"It has already been done. Besides, it is the will of the people that King Cheng ascends the throne.
My dear, if I have time, I really want to take you to Qinglan City. That place is well governed by King Cheng."
"Don't interrupt me. I want to ask you, who was that person we rescued that time?"
