Chapter 48: Intercepting Hu

  Ye Zao is here, Fourth Master doesn't come often, most of the time, it's Fourth Master who calls her over.

  Today is here, and Ye Zao also has some unexpectedness.

  "Wishing our master good health and prosperity."

  "Hmm, what are you doing?" Fourth Master raised his hand, gesturing for her to get up, then sat down.

  "What's this servant doing, playing with coal balls? Master isn't busy today, is he?" He came before dinner time, did he?

  "Ah, come in, nothing's wrong." Fourth Master responded with a sound, and saw A Yuan already brought over hot tea.

  He picked it up and took a sip, just right.

  "It's been seven days since I've seen Grandpa." Ye Zao stirred his fingers, sat down beside him, and gazed at him greedily.

  Fourth Master hummed in agreement, and didn't think that having a concubine was anything bad, nor did he think that this concubine was trying to test him or anything.

  "If you're feeling cooped up, take your dog and go for a stroll in the garden. It's not as cold today." Fourth Master put down his tea bowl.

  Turning her head, Ye Zao was wearing a half-old pink jacket, simple hair accessories, and nothing on her ears, looking somewhat too simple.

  "Didn't you wear earrings?" Fourth Master thought and asked Su Peisheng to bring some.

  "I have them, many pairs, it's just that sometimes I don't like wearing them, didn't know you were coming, will remember next time." Ye Zao smiled mischievously.

  Fourth Master grunted: "If anything is missing, tell your people and Su Peisheng that I'll make it up to you."

  "There's no shortage of them, thank you sir." Ye Zao smiled and said: "Sir should take care of his body, during this changeable weather, one must be extra careful."

  Fourth Master grunted and saw Su Peisheng coming in from outside.

  The door of the Jin Yu Pavilion was not closed, and the lush garden could still be seen. Suddenly, Su Peisheng came in: "Master, a servant from Li Ce's wife has arrived, saying that Li Ce's wife is feeling unwell and asking you to take a look."

  "What's wrong now?" Fourth Master frowned, somewhat displeased.

  "Speaking of which, Zhao Fu Gui said that there was no particular reason, it's just that his stomach didn't feel comfortable. The imperial physician examined him and said that perhaps it was still due to the previous disturbance of fetal energy. Although he had been recuperating for a long time, he was still not very stable."

  "Whatever, I'll go take a look." Fourth Master stood up, swung his sleeves and left. He didn't even speak to Ye Zao.

  Ye Zao busily saw off Fourth Master.

  Heart says, Fourth Master is really furious this time, however... This anger isn't directed at her.

  "A'ling, this is how many times Li Ce has come to take Fourth Master away from me?" Ye Zao asked casually. He sat in the same spot where Fourth Master had been sitting earlier and took a sip of the tea that Fourth Master had drunk.

  What's the big deal about drinking a cup of tea after having slept enough?

  "Miss, it's the sixth time...". Since serving Miss, Li Ce Fu Jin always had various excuses, taking advantage of that piece of meat in her belly, snatching fiercely.

  No one in the house is managing her, she's acting recklessly!

  "Alright then, I've been here six times, how about elsewhere?" Ye Zao laughed heartily.

  Isn't it just a coup? She's just a concubine, calling herself Empress Dowager Cixi, isn't that embarrassing?

  "Last time, Master called for Chang Shi to attend to him, and also got Li Ce Fujin involved. The time before that, at Fujin's place, Li Ce Fujin was also summoned once, but Master didn't go. I heard that this kind of thing has been going on for a long time with Li Ce Fujin." Ah Yuan said in a low voice.

  "Don't be sad, miss." Ah Ling consoled.

  "It's not sad." Not only is it not sad, but also happy!

  The piece of meat in Li's wife's belly can't be carried for a lifetime, can it?

  He was intercepted six times, and Fourth Master still wants to come, who lost?

  "It's almost time for the beautiful girl to enter the mansion, I hope Li Ce will continue to intercept!" What happened to Ce? Losing favor is just as difficult.

  Now, Fourth Master can still tolerate it for the sake of that belly, but what about in the future?

  The more you pretend, the faster you will lose favor.

  A-Yuan and A-Ling thought Ye Zao was just pretending to be happy, but actually, all the girls were holding their masters' cups and drinking tea. What's this if not distress?

  However, no one dared to say more, it's still best not to persuade her at this time, let the girl think for herself.

  Fourth Master walked in with a dark face and entered Li Ce Fu Jun's house: "Li Shi, are you uncomfortable?"

  Li Ce Fu Jin hastily stepped forward: "Greetings, Master. I've been feeling unwell lately and had the imperial physician come to see me. He said I just need some rest. It's been days since I last saw you... I was thinking of you in my heart. That's why I didn't follow protocol."

  Mr. Li has always been bold, now if he tells a lie, Fourth Master will only get angrier. It's better to say that I just missed you, so I called you over.

  As expected, Fourth Master felt slightly better in his heart.

  However, it's also quite unbearable and feels like Li doesn't understand things. What is he? Someone who comes when called?

  In the main hall, it was heard that Li Ce's wife had intercepted Ye Shi again. The wife shook her head: "Li Shi got this position of Ce Fu Jin too easily and too simply, she doesn't know how to cherish it."

  At first, Fourth Master liked her, but there was no suitable person in the mansion, so as soon as Second Brother was born, he was given to Li Shi for adoption.

  Now, it is unknown whether Fourth Master regrets or not.

  "Poor Ye Shi, this is how many times now." said Yang Ayi with a smile.

  "There's nothing pitiful, how many times has it happened, Fourth Master is still going to go, let them make a fuss. I'm just watching to see if Li can be proud for the rest of her life. It's almost time for Xiu Girl to enter the mansion, at that time, the new one will be fresh and tender, Fourth Master won't be able to help but like it, then Li will make a fuss again, let's see if she can get any benefits." Fu Jin hummed.

  "Master, this pregnancy of Mistress Li's doesn't look so stable now." Yang's nanny said in a low voice.

  "Ah... after the new person enters the mansion, whether the household is in order or in chaos, it's all up to me." The lady smiled slightly and put down the embroidery pattern in her hand.

  After she lost her eldest brother, in this mansion, Li Ce Fu Jun was no longer considered so noble.

  Whether this piece of meat can be kept or not depends on God's will.

  It's better for neither the wife nor the concubine to give birth.

  "Ah, it seems like new people are entering the mansion soon. At that time, I'll make sure to get a good sense of their temperaments." said Yang Ayi.

  "Hmm, this time, according to your Highness's intention, it is for the three gege, has the place been prepared?" Fu Jin said.

  Just yesterday, the princess sent word that three had been chosen and would be brought in within these few days.

  "As for the master's words, we servants have not yet taken action and were just about to ask for instructions on how to proceed. Nowadays, there are many empty rooms available, no need to squeeze into a particular courtyard."

  "In the South Wing, two people live there, and one person lives in the Brocade Pavilion. When the time comes, we'll arrange it properly, choose a good one from the South Wing." The East Wing where Li Ce is getting married is on the way to this South Wing.

  This is a good-looking one, and it's also blocking the way a bit.

  "Ah, that's a bit more like it." This Brocade Pavilion, if someone were to live here, would make the Jadeite Pavilion of the Ye family less convenient in the future.

  After all, those two cabinets were adjacent to each other.
