Imperial Capital 10. Aunt Zhao asks for help

"I beg Miss Third to show me a way to survive." Aunt Zhao knelt on the ground and begged in a low voice.

Ye Li raised her eyebrows, lowered her head and fiddled with the jewelry in the box, and asked in confusion: "What is Aunt Zhao talking about? Who in our house doesn't know that Daddy's favorite is Aunt Zhao? In this house, except for the old lady and the lady, aren't all the good things close to Aunt Zhao? Could it be... Is there something else that Aunt Zhao is not satisfied with?"

The smile on Aunt Zhao's face was a little bitter. "I dare not. Although I am of humble origin, I have studied for a few years. How can I not know that I am really in great glory now? I am afraid... once Madam Teng makes a move, it will be the end of me."

Qingshuang frowned and said, "What are you saying, Aunt Zhao? How can you say that in front of our young lady? Besides, our young lady is going to get married soon. How can I help you? You might as well ask the old lady and the old man for help instead of wasting your time." Qingshuang was very dissatisfied with Aunt Zhao's idea of ​​using her young lady to deal with Wang. Aunt Zhao was so bold that she actually wanted to use her own young lady.

"Qingshuang is right. You also know that I will be leaving the palace in two months. Even if I can help you for the time being, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. Besides... why should I offend Zhaoyi in the palace for you? As long as Ye Zhaoyi and Fourth Sister are here, neither you nor I can overthrow the Madam." Ye Li stared at her and asked lightly.

Aunt Zhao bit her red lips, which turned white. How could she not know this? But what if you know? She originally thought she would have someone to rely on if she had a child, but Wang didn't even allow her to have a child. A few days ago, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong around her. If it hadn't been for this sudden marriage, I'm afraid Wang would have already made a move on him, "Third Miss, I don't ask for anything else. I just ask that Third Miss can help me keep my child. I will definitely be grateful to Third Miss for your kindness." of!"

"you……"

Aunt Zhao nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "I have only been in the mansion for a few months, but I have already lost a child. This child must be saved at all costs. Please ask Miss Third to lend a hand to me."

Ye Li sighed and nodded to Qing Shuang. Qing Shuang walked over and helped Aunt Zhao to sit on a chair at the side. Qing Shuang placed her right hand on Aunt Zhao's wrist for a moment and then let go, nodding to Ye Li imperceptibly.

Ye Li took the hand string from Qing Shuang and handed it to Aunt Zhao, saying softly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help you. I will leave the mansion in two months, and it looks like you will have to wait for several more months before giving birth, right?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao's face flashed with disappointment, and she tightly grasped the hand string in her hand and cried, "Could it be...could it be that this child is destined not to come into the world? I...I only hope that he can be born well and live well, even if he is not in this Ye Mansion and is not the young master of this Ye family, it doesn't matter."

Ye Li looked at her painful expression quietly. She could see clearly that what Aunt Zhao said was sincere. She was really doing it for the child's life rather than for her own future glory and wealth. Ye Li was not a cold-blooded person, but at the same time, she was not a person who was easily impulsive.

"Miss Third! As long as I can give birth to this child, I am willing to pass him on to the deceased Madam to continue the Madam's family line. I swear that I will never recognize him again in my life!"

Ye Li's expression remained unchanged. He looked at her calmly and said, "My mother has passed away for several years. I don't care about the so-called incense. Besides, the child is still unknown whether it is a boy or a girl. And, considering his age, even if you never recognize him, won't he figure it out when he grows up? If he inherits my mother's name, he will be the legitimate son, and his status will be higher than Rong'er, who was born to Wang. I'm afraid he won't survive even if he is born." Since the death of his mother, no more children have been born in the mansion. With Wang's personality, how could she allow someone to put pressure on her son?

Aunt Zhao also knew that she had spoken impulsively. She lowered her head in annoyance and said with red eyes: "It was my fault. Please save me, Miss Third. No matter what, this child is also Miss Third's blood relative..."

Ye Li pondered for a moment and asked, "Which one do you want, your father's favor or this child?"

Aunt Zhao was startled, not understanding why Ye Li asked this. But she quickly reacted, thought for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed across her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want a child. As long as the child is alive and well, it doesn't matter if I never see him again!"

"I heard that some people have bad fates, which will affect the marriage and offspring of their family members." The room was silent for a while, and Ye Li's voice rang out slowly.

“Miss Third wants me...?!” Aunt Zhao looked at the calm girl in front of her in surprise.

"Don't do it yourself. If you miss a trace, you will end up making things worse."

Aunt Zhao finally understood why Ye Li asked her whether she wanted a child or the old man's favor. Now the fourth young lady in the mansion was going to marry Prince Li as his principal wife, and the only son of the Ye family born to Wang had always been in poor health. If she was labeled as having a bad fate, she would never be favored by the old man again in this life. It was very likely that she would be kicked out of the house or sent to a separate courtyard or temple outside the city for recuperation. Now there was a happy event in the mansion, so she would definitely not be kicked out of the house easily, so she would be sent out of the mansion. If she was more cruel and sent farther away, I was afraid that she would never be able to return to the capital in this life.

"This is all I can help you with. You are right. After all, your child is my sister-in-law. Our family has a villa in Yunzhou. If you go there, I will keep you and your child safe. Go back and think about it. Let me know when you have figured it out." After saying this, Ye Li no longer cared about Aunt Zhao's reaction and got up to walk inside.

Although Aunt Zhao was born in a humble family, she was once a daughter of a scholar family. Naturally, she knew where Yunzhou was, and she also knew that Yunzhou was the location of Lishan College, the best college in Da Chu. And Lishan College belonged to the Gu family. Ye Li was not being perfunctory when she mentioned that Yunzhou could ask someone to guarantee her safety. After all, with her status, she could not become the principal wife even if the Wang family fell. Yunzhou was a place where culture and arts gathered. If she could give birth to a boy... it would be better than waiting to be killed by the Wang family in the mansion. After thinking this through, Aunt Zhao stood up and knelt again, "Thank you, Third Miss, for your great kindness!"

Ye Li paused and said calmly: "This is your own choice." The beautiful figure disappeared behind the screen.

Ye Li sat down and casually found a book to read. It's not that there is no better way to solve Aunt Zhao's problem, but she will get into a lot of trouble. All women in this world are pitiful people. She can't help them even if she wants to, let alone have the ability. After a while, Qingshuang came in with tea, "Miss, why are you reading again? We are not going to take the imperial examination."

"Going back?" Ye Li asked after putting down the book.

Qingshuang nodded and said, "He even made a scene at the gate before leaving."

"Aunt Zhao is a smart person. She might even complain about me to father when she gets back." Ye Li said with a smile as he took the teacup from Qingshuang.

Qingshuang was a little worried, "Master won't punish Miss, will he?"

"No matter how biased Daddy is, he would never punish his daughter who is about to get married just because of a few words from a concubine."

"That's good. I forgot that our young lady is the future Princess Dingguo." Even Princess Li would have to greet the young lady when she sees her. "Young lady agreed to help her so quickly, what if she bites back at us in the future..." Qingshuang said with some concern.

"She is too favored, and the lady cannot tolerate her. She is a smart person and naturally knows the price to pay for taking advantage of me."

"Miss, just be aware of this."
