Mother Lin thought for a while and smiled, "Miss, you are thoughtful. Laonu worried too much."
Ye Li smiled and shook her head, "I'm still young. There are always things I can't consider. In the future, I'll need more advice from mother and wet nurse. "
In the evening, Wang Shi somehow persuaded Minister Ye to send concubine Zhao back to the Ye family's old house to wait for delivery. Concubine Zhao naturally cried and begged for a long time. The remaining concubines looked at her miserable appearance and couldn't bear it. Ye family's old house wasn't a flat and rich land. It was Bingzhou in the southwest of Da Chu State near the border. Not only was it barren, but it was also thousands of miles away from the capital. Since Minister Ye came to the capital and took Old Madame Ye over, the Ye family never returned to their old house. In the early years, even the ancestral hall was moved to the capital. In Bingzhou, there was only an old house and some land left for the family to take care of. Not to mention whether concubine Zhao could live well when she went back, whether she could survive the journey while pregnant was a test.
Minister Ye's expression was also somewhat unbearable. But looking at his former beloved concubine begging, he didn't relent. Ye Li looked at concubine Zhao's expression faintly. The initial sadness gradually turned into despair. Although there was an element of acting, there was obviously some real feelings in it. Minister Ye's ruthlessness also made concubine Zhao feel bitterly disappointed.
"Father." Seeing that it was enough, Ye Li said, "Bingzhou is far away. The journey is also very difficult. Even ordinary people may not be able to bear it. Not to mention concubine Zhao is pregnant. "
Minister Ye's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ye Li and said, "Li 'er, what do you think?"
Ye Li lowered her eyes and said faintly, "Since madame's intention is to send concubine Zhao away from the capital, why do we have to send her to Bingzhou? What if there is something on the road … Sister Zhao Yi is pregnant now. We have to accumulate blessings for her. "
Wang Shi's face turned white. Her heart trembled with anger. What did she mean by her idea? She even cursed her precious daughter and grandson!
Old Madam Ye frowned and said, "Then Li-er, where do you think is suitable?"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Although we can't not believe in fate, we can't completely believe it either. No matter what, Concubine Mother Zhao is still pregnant with our Ye family's child. If outsiders were to find out about this, they would say that the Ye family doesn't care about kinship. As for where Concubine Zhao will go, I'm sure Father and Grandmother have their own plans. "
Minister Ye took a deep look at Ye Li, and his eyes were obviously probing, "Our family has another courtyard in Yunzhou, and the climate in Yunzhou is also very pleasant. Why don't we send the Zhao Clan to Yunzhou? "
"Naturally, everything will be decided by Father and Grandmother."
Old Madame Ye looked at concubine Zhao and smiled at Ye Li, "Your father is right. Yunzhou has many outstanding people and many scholars. Maybe they can suppress this child's destiny."
Ye Li said respectfully, "Grandmother is right. As long as the Ye family is doing well, then we will be doing well, right? " Destiny? How can a child who hasn't been born have a destiny?
Old Madame Ye nodded with satisfaction. For Ye Li's understanding, she said, "Li 'er is sensible. In that case, this matter is settled. "
Concubine Zhao knelt in the hall and glanced at the unwilling Wang Shi. She bowed respectfully to Old Madame Ye, "This servant thanks Old Madame for your grace. Thank you Master and Third Miss for your grace. "
Ye Li smiled, "Concubine Zhao, get up quickly. This is the grace of Grandmother and Father. We as the younger generation can only listen. Concubine Zhao has a long way to go. You should be careful. When my brother is born, I hope concubine Zhao will teach him well so that he won't disappoint Grandmother and Father. "
Concubine Zhao nodded repeatedly, "This servant thanks Miss for your advice."
"This servant thanks Third Miss for saving my life."
Concubine Zhao knelt in front of Ye Li. Her simple and elegant dress was completely different from the enchanting in the past. Ye Li raised her hand to signal Qing Luan to help her up. She said lightly, "No need to be so polite. You don't have to worry when you reach Yunzhou. Naturally, someone will arrange everything."
Concubine Zhao nodded and said, "This servant believes that Third Miss's words are like a mountain. This servant will also abide by the agreement and raise this child. "She lowered her head and stroked her still flat belly. Concubine Zhao's brows were full of tenderness and love. In the future, this child will be her everything. Ye Li nodded and ordered Qing Shuang, "Go and get five hundred taels of silver for concubine Zhao. Take it as travel expenses." Qing Shuang responded and left. Concubine Zhao looked at Ye Li gratefully. The entire Ye family was under the control of Wang Shi. Of course, this included the various villages. It was inevitable that Wang Shi would secretly deduct her expenses. Although she had saved some money herself, it wasn't much. In the entire Ye family, other than the old matriarch and master, only Third Miss could take out such a large sum of money at once. Concubine Zhao understood in her heart that although Third Miss wasn't a warm and amiable person, as long as she was well-behaved, she was definitely a reliable and trustworthy person. "Many thanks for Third Miss's pity."
"When you get there, someone will be responsible for your and your child's safety. With Father there, she won't dare to be too brazen. But if you want to live well there, it will depend on your own methods. "Ye Li reminded lightly. In any case, the village wasn't hers. If concubine Zhao had the means, it would be better for the child if she controlled it herself.
Concubine Zhao was stunned. She was secretly shocked that Ye Li could see through her thoughts. However, since she had spoken, it naturally meant that the Xu family would help her to a certain extent. As long as she had enough means to control Yunzhou's village, it would be a place for her and her child to settle down. Thinking of this, concubine Zhao hurriedly thanked Ye Li again. At the same time, she felt even more reverence in her heart.
"Miss, the Ding King's residence has sent the betrothal gifts." Qing Yu walked in with a happy face and smiled, "The old madame and master are asking Miss to hurry over."
Ye Li nodded. Seeing Qing Yu's strange expression, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there something else?"
Qing Yu's happy expression was somewhat conflicted. Looking at Ye Li, she said, "His Highness King Li and Fourth Miss have also returned." Today was the day that Ye Ying would return home. Not knowing if it was intentional or real, the days were so coincidental that Fourth Miss's return and Third Miss's betrothal gifts actually collided on the same day.
Ye Li was also stunned. She had almost forgotten that Ye Ying was also coming back today. "What happened?"
Qing Yu curled her small mouth and said, "King Li and Son-in-law arrived at about the same time. His face was gloomy as if someone owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver. What bad luck! "
"Impudent." Ye Li lightly reprimanded. Qing Yu blinked her eyes. She could tell that there was no anger in Miss's words. Only then did she playfully stick out her tongue, cover her small mouth, and hide to the side.
Qing Shuang came out with a plain embroidered pouch and handed it to Ye Li. Ye Li turned around and put it in concubine Zhao's hand along with a gold lock. She said, "This is my gift to my younger brother. I won't give it to concubine when the time comes."
Concubine Zhao's eyes reddened. Remembering that today was the day that the Prince Ding Mansion would send the betrothal gifts, she hurriedly held back her tears and said goodbye to Ye Li. Only then did she put away the things and walked out.
