Well...that's outrageous.
It is obvious that the man did something wrong, but others will only think that it is because the wife is useless and cannot win the man's heart that causes the man to be fickle.
hehe.
You must know that rotten wood cannot be carved. Some people have black hearts and it is useless no matter how you carve them.
However, Zhu Xianyue's goal has been achieved - to make Old Madam Ye dislike Qiu Sese.
"I understand. Thank you, mother, for your guidance. My younger brother will be taking an exam soon, and I want to go back today to see him and have a few words with him."
"Okay, go ahead."
The Ye family feels guilty towards Zhu Xianyue. Old Madam Ye would naturally agree to this small request.
Besides, Zhu Xianyue came from a prominent family. Her father was the current emperor's tutor when he was still the crown prince. He was of such high status that even the emperor had to give him some face.
If Zhu's mother had not been rescued by Ye Mucheng's biological mother when she was pregnant, this marriage would not have been possible.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Ye became more determined to get close to that little bitch Qiu Sese.
Qiu Sese has no background and she got pregnant secretly, which only caused trouble for the Ye family.
Unlike Zhu Xianyue's father, he was of great benefit to Ye Mucheng in the court.
…
Zhu Xianyue handled this matter "beautifully" and magnanimously, which made the entire Ye family praise her endlessly.
Qiu Sese is a concubine. She usually stays in the house and never goes out.
In addition, her original husband died early and was a bastard, so not many people have seen Qiu Sese's true face.
Hiding her identity was easier.
Although Bai Lai's status is low, at least he won't be discovered.
Ye Mucheng has reminded Qiu Sese more than once that she should learn to be content.
Qiu Sese agreed on the surface, but in her heart she resented Zhu Xianyue——
Her father is the Grand Tutor, and she has the ability to arrange a noble status for herself, and then she can become Ye Mucheng's concubine in a glorious manner.
But Zhu Xianyue was a petty woman and would not make such an arrangement.
She always felt that Zhu Xianyue had bad intentions.
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Zhu Xianyue might be up to something bad.
Qiu Sese was overly worried and had her period twice, but she didn't dare tell Ye Mucheng.
All she could rely on now was the piece of meat in her belly and Ye Muqing's pity, but Ye Muqing was now attracted to Zhu Xianyue...
The baby in my belly must be born safely, and it must be a boy!
There can't be any mistakes!
…
At this moment, Zhu Xianyue has returned to the Zhu Mansion.
The servants in the mansion came to tell her that a distinguished guest had come to the mansion and asked her not to move around casually to avoid offending the distinguished guest.
Zhu Xianyue naturally knew who this noble man was—the current emperor, Chen Hansi.
The original owner's father was Chen Hansi's master. The original owner had met Chen Hansi several times when he was a child, and the two could be considered childhood sweethearts.
However, Chen Hansi only had brotherly feelings for the original owner, and it had nothing to do with romance.
Zhu Xianyue nodded in agreement.
…
Chen Hansi hasn't been to the Zhu Mansion for a long time.
This time he was also on a secret patrol.
When he was a child, he liked to stay in his master's house and look at the bamboos by the west window.
The bamboo shadows swayed and the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, as if they could dispel all the haze in his heart.
He had just returned from the battle. Although he had won the victory, seeing so many soldiers sacrificed in the war, he thought of the many families that were torn apart. He felt sad and wanted to come here to calm down.
Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance coming from deep in the bamboo forest.
