Ye Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I have an idea, but I don't know what Fourth Brother thinks."
Xu Qingbai looked at Ye Li with a smile. "Li 'er has always come up with good ideas. Let me hear it."
Ye Li said, "Fourth Brother, why don't you try and see if you can invite Mr. Xiuting from Bian City to come here? Mr. Xiuting's disciples are all over West-Hill. If he can come out of the mountains to help Fourth Brother, then Fourth Brother's affairs in West-Hill will be much smoother. " Although Mr. Xiuting had already expressed his intention to pledge allegiance to the Prince Ding Mansion, scholars, especially those who had extraordinary achievements, always had some strange tempers. If Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao asked him to come, of course he would come back. However, it was likely that he would inevitably have a knot in his heart and look down on Xu Qingbai, which would be detrimental to Xu Qingbai's affairs.
As a descendant of the Xu family, Xu Qingbai naturally had some understanding of the outstanding scholars in the world. Moreover, Mr. Xiuting was someone that his grandfather, father, and uncle all highly respected. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said with a smile, "Li 'er really won't disappoint Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother knows what to do." Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "It's us who have troubled Fourth Brother. Since that's the case, Li 'er won't disturb Fourth Brother's rest. Fourth Brother, you should rest well these days."
Mo Xiuyao helped Ye Li up and turned to leave. Before leaving, he said, "I'll have Feng Huaiting come later. He can help you deal with the problems of West-Hill's wealthy merchants."
Xu Qingbai was startled, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince."
Watching the two leave, Xu Qingbai thought for a moment and asked someone to bring a brush and ink. He first wrote a sincere invitation letter and had someone send it to Bian City. At the same time, he wondered if he had the time to personally go to Bian City. Unfortunately, he was currently injured. When Mo Xiuyao and the others left, he would have even less free time.
After leaving Xu Qingbai's courtyard, Ye Li turned around and smiled at Mo Xiuyao: "Xiuyao, thank you."
Mo Xiuyao was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at Ye Li gently. "Thank me for what?" Ye Li said, "Thank you for what you did for Fourth Brother." Whether it was inviting Shen Yang to the West-Hill or Feng Huiting, neither of these were originally part of Mo Xiuyao's plan. This was especially true for Feng Huiting. Feng Huiting was currently busy integrating the businesses under the Prince Ding Mansion's name in the Northwest. Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and leaned his forehead against Ye Li's. He said softly, "Xu Qingbai is your fourth brother, isn't he? He saved you and our child. I should treat him better. "
Ye Li smiled and said, "You've always been very good to them, I know." Although Mo Xiuyao had always exploited her eldest brother, it was only limited to her eldest brother. He was indeed very good to the other cousins. Just like this time, before attacking the West-Hill, Mo Xiuyao had already considered letting Xu Qingbai stay in the West-Hill. This could be considered as paving the way for Xu Qingbai's future. Xu Qingbai was still too young, and had always been away from the Prince Ding Mansion's core affairs. But if he could handle the West-Hill affairs properly, his future would not be lower than any of the core members of the Prince Ding Mansion.
"Since Li likes it, I naturally have to treat them well." Mo Xiuyao smiled and lowered his head to gently bite her pink lips. Ye Li helplessly glared at him and said, "Then can you also treat Eldest Brother better?" She really did not want to be stuck between the two of them as cannon fodder. Mo Xiuyao gave a low laugh. "This … how can Li Li bear to make things difficult for your husband? Your husband is very sad. "
Ye Li rolled her eyes. "How is this making things difficult? Do you have to be at odds with Eldest Brother? "
"Well … it's his fault for looking so disgusting. You see … he can't even find a wife now, isn't that evidence? "Mo Xiuyao rubbed her lightly fragrant hair and said lazily.
"…" So, you are jealous that Eldest Brother is better looking than you?
"Prince, Princess Consort …" After leaving Xu Qingbai's courtyard, the two were about to return to their rooms when Ye Li remembered that Madam Bai had been brought back and was waiting for an audience. So Mo Xiuyao could only accompany Ye Li to see her, full of resentment. When they stepped into the reception pavilion, Madam Bai, who had been about to greet them, immediately froze. Her face was pale as she looked at Mo Xiuyao supporting Ye Li in. She even forgot to go forward and bow.
Ye Li raised an eyebrow and did not care too much about Madam Bai's lack of manners. She gave a faint smile and said, "Madam Bai, is there something you want to say to this fei?"
"This concubine … … this concubine … …" Madam Bai looked at Mo Xiuyao's stiff limbs as if they were frozen. She seemed to remember the countless screams from that day and her daughter's cries as she was dragged away. Her face became even uglier and her entire body began to tremble as if she was about to collapse.
"Madam Bai?" Ye Li asked with a frown, "Is Madam not feeling well?"
Madam Bai jumped in fright, but she recovered and quickly said, "This concubine … … this concubine is fine. Many thanks for Princess Consort's concern. This concubine … … is fine … …"
Ye Li did not say anything. Madam Bai did not look like she was fine.
"Madam Bai came to see this fei, is there something you want to say?"
Madam Bai's face was pale as she complained in her heart. Prince Ding was right in front of her. Not to mention pleading for leniency, she could not even say the usual greetings.
Seeing this, Ye Li turned to look at Mo Xiuyao. She saw that Mo Xiuyao's expression was calm and his words could be considered gentle. It was clear that he was in a good mood and should not scare her.
"Xiuyao?" Thinking about it, Ye Li decided to quickly send Madam Bai away, "It seems that Madam Bai has something to say to me alone. How about you go back first?" Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li with one hand and said, "Of course it's not good. If you have something to say, say it. If you don't want to say it, then say it. Isn't that right, Madam, Bai? "
Madam Bai's body trembled and she quickly nodded, "Prince is right. This concubine was confused and disturbed Princess Consort! This concubine … … this concubine will leave now! " She did not wait for Ye Li to speak and stumbled out. Ye Li looked at Mo Xiuyao in confusion, "What happened? What happened?"
Mo Xiuyao shrugged, "Who knows?"
