Golden Age Legitimate Fei

Chapter 10: Zhao Yiniang Asks for Help

"Third xiaojie! As long as nubi is able enough to give birth to this child, nubi is willing to have him adopted under the already deceased furen's name to go on burning joss sticks for furen. Nubi can make an oath, never to get to know him even for a lifetime!"

Ye Li's expression didn't change, looking at her indifferently and said, "It's already been severals years since my mother pa.s.sed away, the so-called matter of burning joss sticks is something I don't care about at all. Not to mention, on one hand it's yet to be confirmed if this child is a boy or a girl, on the other hand, depending on his age even if you were to never recognize him as yours, wouldn't he be able to guess it for himself when he grows up? Getting adopted under my mother's name would mean this child is a di son, the position would be even higher than that of w.a.n.g shi's own flesh and blood Rong ge er. I only fear that even if you were able to give birth, the child still wouldn't be able to live." Ever since her mother pa.s.sed away, there weren't anymore children being born in the fu. Based on w.a.n.g shi's character, how could she allow anyone to put pressure on her son's head?

Zhao yiniang also knew that these words she said were impetuous, lowering her head somewhat upset and said with her eyes turning red, "It was nubi who said the wrong thing. I beg third xiaojie to save nubi, regardless of how it is said...this kid is still third xiaojie's own blood relative ah..."

Ye Li pondered for a moment and asked, "Fuqin's doting and this child, which one do you want?"

Zhao yiniang was startled for a moment, not understanding why Ye Li would ask something like this. But then reacted very quickly, her face flashed a trace of unswerving determination as she thought it over, gritting her teeth and saying, "I want the child, as long as this child properly lives on, even if I never get to see him it also wouldn't matter!"

"I heard that if there is someone whose birth chart isn't good, it will influence the family's predestined marriages and heirs." The room had been silent for awhile when Ye Li's voice unhurriedly made a sound.

"Third xiaojie wants me to....?!" Zhao yiniang stared in astonishment at the girl who appeared tranquil and calm in front of her.

"Don't do it yourself, leaving out a trace by mistake would instead be self-defeating."

Zhao yiniang finally understood why Ye Li had to ask whether she herself wanted the child or laoye's doting. Now the fu's fourth xiaojie is going to marry Li w.a.n.g to be a zhengfei, and yet w.a.n.g shi's flesh and blood as well as the Ye family's only son's health has continuously been unwell. If she herself were to be burdened with the reputation of having a no-good birth chart, don't even think about ever getting laoye's doting again in this lifetime. Actually, there was a big possibility of getting kicked out of the family clan or sent outside the city to another yuan or a temple to cultivate one's self.

Right now the fu was currently having a happy occasion (referring to weddings), so they absolutely wouldn't easily have her driven out from the family clan, so then she would be sent out of the fu. If they were to be even a bit more heartless, they would have her sent somewhere even farther–only fear that she will never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime.

"I can only help you this much. What you said was right, this child of yours–no matter how it is said–is still my younger sibling. Our family has another yuan in the Yun prefecture. If you were to go there, I can personally insure the safety of both of you mother and son. Go back and think about it, let me know when you've thought it through." Finished talking, Ye Li no longer cared about Zhao yiniang's reaction and got up to go to the inner room.

Although Zhao yiniang's birth status was humble, she was still once an intellectual family's guniang. She naturally knew what kind of place the Yun prefecture was, she was even more aware that the Yun prefecture was precisely the location of Da Chu's best educational inst.i.tute Lishan academy. And Lishan academy belonged to the family taking care of Ye Li. Ye Li talking about how the Yun prefecture can have people guarantee their own safety is indeed not just for show.

Anyway, with her ident.i.ty even if w.a.n.g shi were to go down, she wouldn't be able to become a zhengshi furen. The Yun prefecture was a place for gathering talented people, if she were to give birth to a boy...it was much better compared to waiting in the fu for w.a.n.g shi to put her to death. Thinking this through clearly, Zhao yiniang got up and kneeled again, "Nubi thanks third xiaojie for being extremely benevolent!"

Ye Li paused in her step and indifferently said, "This is your own decision to make." The clear and exquisite figure then disappeared behind the screen.

Ye Li sat down and randomly found a book to read. There wasn't a better solution to solve Zhao yiniang's matter, but she personally would need to stir up a lot of trouble. Among the women of this world, who wasn't pitiful? Even if she wanted to help, she wouldn't be able to, moreover she did not have such a huge capability.

A little while later, Qing Shuang came in carrying tea, "Why is xiaojie once again reading books? It's not like you're studying to be a top scorer of the palace level."

"Went back?" Ye Li put down the book to ask.

Qing Shuang nodded and said, "Had an episode of making a noise at the yuan's doorway and only then left."

"Zhao yiniang is an intelligent person. Perhaps she went back and also complained about me in front of father." Taking the tea from Qing Shuang, Ye Li smiled as she said it.

Qing Shuang was somewhat worried, "Laoye wouldn't punish xiaojie, right?"

"Even if father were to be more biased, he still wouldn't punish a daughter who is about to get married over a couple of words from a yiniang."

"Then that's good. I forgot, our xiaojie is after all the future Ding guow.a.n.gfei." Even if it were some Li w.a.n.gfei, she would still need to pay respects and send regards. "For xiaojie to promise to help her that quickly, what if in the future she makes a false countercharge against us..." Qing Shuang said, somewhat worried.

"She is favoured too much, furen wouldn't tolerate her. She is an intelligent person so she naturally knows what price she would need to pay in using me."

"It is good that xiaojie keeps scores inside."
