Chapter 10: Zhao Yiniang Asks for Help

Ye Li's eyebrows knitted, lowering her head and fiddling with the jewelry in a box and said, puzzled, "What is Zhao yiniang talking about? Now in our family, who doesn't know that the one father dotes on the most is Zhao yiniang? In the fu besides laofuren and furen, for any good thing wouldn't it be Zhao yiniang who would be of priority? Unless...Zhao yiniang still has something to be unsatisfied about?"

The smile on Zhao yiniang's face showed some bitterness, "Nubi doesn't dare. Although nubi's birth status is low, I had once read books for several years, how could I not know that at present indeed the grandeur is unlimited. I only fear....once furen manages to free her hands to do something, it would be nubi's time to die."

Qing Shuang frowned and said, "What is Zhao yiniang talking about? How could you say something like this in front of our xiaojie? What's more, it won't be long before our xiaojie gets married, what could she do to help you? With this kind of effort, why not just go seek help from laofuren and laoye?" Qing Shuang was very dissatisfied with Zhao yiniang for thinking of wanting to pull in her own xiaojie to deal with w.a.n.g shi, this Zhao yiniang really had a lot of nerve to actually want to take advantage of her own xiaojie.

"What Qing Shuang said is right, you also know that after two months I have to get married. Even if I were to help you one time, I only fear it won't be of any use. Not to mention...for what would I want to offend Zhao Yi in the palace for you? As long as Ye Zhao Yi and fourth younger sister are around, no matter if it was you or if it was me, neither of us would be able to pull down furen." Ye Li asked indifferently, watching her attentively.

Zhao yiniang nibbled on her bright red lips, looking somewhat blanched, how could she not know of this reasoning? But even if she knew it, so what? She originally thought that by having a child she can have someone to depend on, but that w.a.n.g shi wouldn't even allow her to have her own child. A few days ago she had faintly felt that there was something not right in her own surroundings. If it weren't for a bestowed marriage suddenly happening this time, she only feared that w.a.n.g shi would have already made a move on her, "Third xiaojie, nubi doesn't beg others, only begs third xiaojie to be able enough to help nubi protect nubi's child. Nubi will definitely be grateful for third xiaojie's extreme benevolence!"

"You......"

Zhao yiniang nodded with tears, saying, "Nubi had only entered the fu for some months, but have already lost one child. This child by all possible means needs to be protected, I beg third xiaojie to give me a helping hand."

Ye Li softly sighed and nodded towards Qing Shuang.

Qing Shuang walked up to support Zhao yiniang over to sit on a chair on the side. Qing Shuang's right hand was over Zhao yiniang's wrist for a bit before letting go, covertly nodding her head towards Ye Li.

Ye Li took the proffered handkerchief Qing Shuang handed over to hand over to Zhao yiniang, softly saying, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but that I indeed am unable to help. Two months later I will need to leave the fu; by the looks of it, it would at least still take several months more before you can give birth, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao yiniang's face flashed a trace of disappointment, tightly holding the handkerchief in her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Do you mean to say that...do you mean to say that this child is destined not to come into this world? I...I only ask that he be able enough to be properly given birth to, to properly live on; even if it wasn't in this Ye fu and he isn't this Ye family's shaoye, it wouldn't matter ah."

Ye Li calmly watched her pained expression. She could clearly see that this time, what Zhao yiniang had said was all from the heart; she was indeed doing this for this child's life and not for her own future's possible splendor. Ye Li wasn't a cold-blooded person, but all the same, she also wasn't an easily impulsive hot-blooded person.
