The next day, Xue Zixiao was doing morning exercises at home as usual. At this moment, a servant came over and reported: "General, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."
Xue Zixiao did not stop his movements, he was still practicing with the sword.
The servant couldn't help but add, "It's the Yuchi family."
Yuchi is also a family of military generals, but General Yuchi once promoted Xue Zixiao.
Therefore, General Yuchi is Xue Zixiao's mentor...
But since General Yuchi was injured and became disabled on the battlefield, he retired at home to enjoy his old age.
After so many years, there was less and less news about the Yuchi family, and they were gradually forgotten.
Xue Zixiao had asked to meet General Yuchi several times before, but General Yuchi refused to see anyone.
After a long time, Xue Zixiao never visited again.
Now the Yuchi family has sent someone here on their own initiative?
Xue Zixiao put away the long sword in his hand and said, "Let someone in."
When Xue Zixiao saw the person coming, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The person coming was the housekeeper of Yuchi Mansion.
"General Xue." The butler saluted respectfully.
Xue Zixiao asked doubtfully, "Butler, please stand up. Are you here on behalf of the Yuchi family?"
The butler did not beat around the bush and answered directly, "I... am here on behalf of my young master."
Xue Zixiao was even more confused. Replace the young master?
The only person he was friendly with was General Yuchi. General Yuchi's legitimate son had never had any dealings with him.
"Butler, please tell me what you want to say. This general is listening."
The housekeeper sighed helplessly: "My young master was playing in a pleasure boat in the lake yesterday and saved a woman who fell into the water. After asking around, I found out who the woman was..."
At this point, the housekeeper paused for a moment, then looked at Xue Zixiao before continuing, "That woman is the concubine you just decided on, General Xue, the second young lady of the Xiangfu family..."
Xue Zixiao asked hesitantly: "What you mean is that your young master saved Yang Qingyuan, but saving someone from drowning inevitably involves physical contact, then?"
The butler had not yet made his words very clear, but Xue Zixiao had already guessed what was going on.
The housekeeper immediately agreed, "The young master had physical contact with Miss Yang in public, so he cannot be irresponsible."
"But Miss Yang Er is the concubine you are going to take into your house. This is very difficult..."
So the housekeeper came to explain the matter clearly, and then let Xue Zixiao decide whether to cancel the concubine or pretend not to know about it, not to despise Yang Qingyuan, nor to resent the Yuchi Mansion.
"What does General Yuchi want me to do?" Xue Zixiao asked.
The housekeeper lowered his head and sighed, "Because there are so many people at the entertainment area, many people at the scene discovered who our young master saved!"
"Whether it's for the sake of the Second Miss of the Xiangfu, or for you, the General, or our Young Master, the best outcome is to help Second Miss Yang and our Young Master be together!"
Xue Zixiao was not surprised that the butler would say this.
If the people of the Yuchi family had not intended to let Yang Qingyuan into the mansion, they would naturally not have sent anyone here and would have just pretended that nothing had happened.
Xue Zixiao allowed Yang Qingyuan to be his concubine only to agree to Yang Xinwan's request. He had no interest in Yang Qingyuan at all.
Xue Zixiao asked: "So, what position does your young master plan to give to Yang Qingyuan?"
The housekeeper immediately replied: "Although the Yuchi family is not as big as before, Miss Yang is a concubine after all, and this concubine is naturally a concubine!"
Moreover, Xue Zixiao only wanted someone to be his concubine. Even if their Yuchi family was in poverty, they could not let someone be his legal wife!
Isn't that a joke?
Xue Zixiao had received kindness from General Yuchi in the past, so naturally he should give General Yuchi some face and give up this concubine.
"I wonder if you have ever thought about this. Even if this general agrees, what about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The reason why Xue Zixiao agreed reluctantly was certainly not because he couldn't bear to leave Yang Qingyuan.
It was simply because I thought it would be difficult to explain to Yang Xinwan.
If we send people to the Prime Minister's residence and let the people of Yuchi family discuss the matter with the people in the Prime Minister's residence, then he will have nothing to do with it.
The housekeeper was stunned, and then said helplessly: "As long as General Xue agrees, our master will definitely find a way to reach an agreement with the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Xue Zixiao nodded solemnly: "General Yuchi has given me a new life, so I naturally won't disagree."
Finally, Butler Yuchi left the General's Mansion and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If Baizhu was still in the prime minister's residence, it would be Baizhu who would be the one to handle such matters in the rear house.
But now that Bai Zhu is not here, the person who receives Butler Yuchi becomes Yang Xinwan.
Butler Yuchi explained the whole story in detail, and Yang Xinwan was inevitably surprised.
Yang Qingyuan did not return home last night because she fell into a coma after falling into the water. She was supposed to become Xue Zixiao's concubine, but now she has to move into Yuchi Mansion.
Even though the Yuchi family is declining, Young Master Yuchi is not a useless man.
Perhaps this is a better choice for Yang Qingyuan?
Could this have been arranged by Yang Qingyuan?
How could Yang Qingyuan have that ability?
But who will help Yang Qingyuan?
Since Xue Zixiao had already promised her, there was absolutely no way he would do such a thing to violate the agreement.
After all, Yang Qingyuan is not that valuable yet, worthy of Xue Zixiao planning so much for her.
"I don't know what Miss Yang thinks of this matter. Your sister's reputation has been ruined by my young master."
"My young master feels guilty, but that's a life, and we can't just ignore it and not save it. Miss Yang, you can make the decision on this matter, right?"
The housekeeper's words were equivalent to implying that their young master was willing to take responsibility for Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan's reputation has already been damaged, so they shouldn't disagree with the good relationship between Yang Qingyuan and their young master.
The butler didn't come to ask for instructions, he was just giving a direct reminder and hint.
Yang Xinwan raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Before asking for my opinion, can you ask the General's Mansion?"
The result that the housekeeper was most unwilling to accept was that Yang Xinwan and Xue Zixiao played football...
He said bluntly: "I have been to the General's Mansion. Now the only one missing is you, Miss Yang."
Yang Xinwan understood instantly that Xue Zixiao agreed, and now the choice was in her hands.
If she refused, then it would mean that she, Yang Xinwan, had offended the Yuchi Mansion. If she agreed, then it would mean that she agreed, and it would not mean that Xue Zixiao regretted taking a concubine.
Yang Xinwan chuckled, Xue Zixiao was good at passing the buck.
Seeing Yang Xinwan laughing, the housekeeper couldn't help but feel strange: "Miss Yang, what do you think? We, the Yuchi Mansion, can double the betrothal gift for the second lady."
Yang Xinwan came back to her senses and replied, "Since the affairs of the Xiangfu backyard are now under my control, I still think I should respect my second sister's opinion and my father's views."
"Please go back and wait for a moment, I will notify Yuchi Mansion as soon as there is a result."
