Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating
Chapter 63: Repentance

“I’m listening, I’m listening.”

“Master, are you tired? Why don’t you sit down and take a rest?”

Although Ye Shuo kept saying that he was listening, anyone who was not deaf could tell that he was being perfunctory.

This was the first time in Taifu’s life that he was ignored so thoroughly.

After all, her granddaughter’s marriage is more important at the moment. Although the Madam is usually very obedient to her husband, she is in no mood to pay attention to him now.

Looking at the old, the young and the child gathered together, whispering to each other about something, the Taifu inexplicably felt like he was left out by the three of them.

In the past, no matter the big or small things in the family, everyone would ask for his opinion.

Only when he nodded, the matter was settled.

Look at it now, has anyone ever asked him even a single question?

Am I still the head of this family?

The Master suddenly felt a sense of loss.

But the Grand Tutor really couldn’t bring himself to get involved. After all, it was his daughter’s private matter. What was the point of an old man like him asking about it every day?

The Grand Tutor was puzzled. Why was the Ninth Prince so shameless, and how could he talk about this so confidently?

If Ye Shuo could realize what the Grand Tutor was thinking at this moment, he would definitely reply to him that he deserved it.

Since he is impatient to listen to his wife nagging about the children and thinks that their matters are trivial, naturally there will be others willing to listen, and he just needs to not feel uncomfortable at that time.

Ye Shuo was quite willing to listen and was not annoyed at all. He was even more willing to give his own opinions.

The Madam’s performance was indeed a bit excited.

After all, she finally met someone who was willing to listen. Although he was a little younger, he was not perfunctory at all. He also did not push all the blame onto the two of them, thinking that they were stingy.

The Ninth Prince was often able to point out problems immediately and perfectly summed up the issues that the Madam and Liang Wenyin were struggling with.

Later, there were even tears in the Madam’s eyes.

After all, for a woman like her who lives in a deep house, she has no money and no power, so what’s the point of studying? She still has to rely on her husband. If her husband doesn’t listen to her opinions, then she will be helpless.

And just at this moment, the Ninth Prince appeared.

It was like a life-saving straw. How could the Madam not feel grateful?

“Thank you, Ninth Prince. But will this… be unfair to the Ninth Prince?” Thinking of the method he just mentioned, the Madam couldn’t help but feel a little hesitant.

The man in front of her was a descendant of the emperor. Asking him to come forward and do such a thing made the Madam feel uneasy.

Ye Shuo waved his hand nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, it won’t happen.” He was just pretending to be a beggar. He had never played a role-playing game before, but just thinking about it was exciting.

Although it is not a good idea to test a person in this way, special cases should be treated specially.

In modern times, men and women are free people, and if they can’t live together after marriage, they can just get divorced. In this case, testing each other is indeed a bit excessive.

But this was in ancient times. Once married, a woman was basically tied to her husband for life and could not easily break free. Shouldn’t she be more cautious in this situation?

You can’t just say that no matter whether the young master of the Cao family is good or bad, your cheap niece has to accept it with a pinch of her nose, right?

It is better to replace out in advance while things are still not finalized and there is still a chance to regret than to cry your eyes out later.

So if the means are dishonorable, then it’s better to be dishonorable.

Ye Shuo is not the kind of person who only sticks to formalities. How to solve the problem is the most important thing.

“For the time being, we have set three small goals. First, to see if he is two-faced, arrogant at first and respectful later. Second, to see if he really has violent tendencies. Third, if possible, to see if he and his cousin really have an improper relationship between men and women.”

Based on his previous conversation with the Madam, Ye Shuo’s goal was very clear.

Now that we have noticed such signs in the young master of the Cao family, let’s start with these three aspects to verify their authenticity.

“By the way, I forgot to ask, how is the cousin from the Cao family doing recently? Isn’t she not much younger than the young master of the Cao family? If we calculate by age, she should have reached the age of marriage for a long time, right?” The young master of the Cao family has reached the age of coming of age this year, so the cousin should be about eighteen or nineteen years old, a little older than my cheap niece.

the Madam said hurriedly, “When the cousin of the Cao family was in the Cao family, she was already waiting to get married. Her family was not very wealthy, so she thought it would be better to marry out of the Cao family. She got married last year.”

In a nutshell, the cousin from the Cao family came here just to gild herself.

If you’ve already left, it’ll be difficult to deal with.

However, it is enough to just grasp the first two points.

Being smooth is not a big problem, at most it may annoy people. However, it is enough to prove this point, at least it can make the young master of Cao family less perfect in the heart of the Taifu. With this premise, if the cheap niece is too unlucky and ends up getting married unfortunately, when she goes home and cries, she will not say that the Taifu will not listen at all.

Of course, it would be better not to marry. Since she was already tired of him, Ye Shuo felt that this marriage was almost a failure.

“You don’t have to do anything then, just watch the whole process.”

“Don’t worry, if you still don’t want to get married at that time, I, your uncle, will never let you put your trust in the wrong person.” He couldn’t do that for the sake of the Crown Princess.

It was really funny for a seven-year-old child to say such things, but Liang Wenyin not only did not replace it funny, but she choked up instead.

In the past year, as the wedding date approached, she hadn’t felt so relaxed for a long time.

After she realized what was happening, Liang Wenyin quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and knelt down jokingly: “Wenyin would like to thank you, little uncle, in advance.”

It can be seen that she was in great distress before. Things were not settled yet, but her spirit was already different.

The Taifu standing by was completely dumbfounded.

What’s going on? Why are you still crying?

Looking at his wife next to him, she didn’t seem to be much better.

As for the discussion process, everyone lowered their voices at the same time, so the Master didn’t hear a single word. He was completely excluded.

Later, the Grand Tutor knew what the highest level of VIP treatment was.

When the Madam ordered the servants to decorate the room, the Grand Tutor watched helplessly as his wife took out all the best things in the house.

That roll of horn curtain was extremely finely crafted. It was originally intended to be used as a dowry for the granddaughter, but now it was also spread on the Ninth Prince’s bed.

Although the weather has been a little hot recently, it is not summer yet. Fearing that he would feel cold in the middle of the night, the Madam asked someone to put a thin mattress on top of the cot. The mattress was so silky and soft that the Grand Tutor had never used it in his life, let alone put it under his body.

See? This is what happens when you refuse to listen to your wife.

Giving the tutor a smug look, Ye Shuo walked leisurely into the room specially prepared for him by the Madam, leaving the tutor standing there with a frozen face.

“Can you tell me what you discussed behind my back?” When he was about to go to bed at night, the Master couldn’t hold it in any longer and asked.

But it’s too late now.

Fearing that he might sabotage her, the Madam pretended to be asleep and didn’t hear anything.

The Grand Tutor stared at the ceiling of the bed, unable to understand why everything had changed so much when the Ninth Prince had only been here for less than one night.

The other side.

When Emperor Jingwen heard the imperial concubine say that her son had left the palace to study with the imperial tutor, his first reaction was disbelief.

How could he not know what kind of temper that little bastard has?

It would be strange if it was really about studying!

Only the imperial concubine was deceived by him every time.

In the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, a dog can never change its own nature. His son’s recent performance has been a little better than before, but he would never believe that he could be so motivated.

Seeing Emperor Jingwen’s face full of suspicion, Concubine Rong immediately became unhappy: “Your Majesty, you look down on Shuo’er too much. Why can’t Shuo’er suddenly come to his senses?”

He? Come to his senses? ?

Emperor Jingwen would not have had such a beautiful dream.

“In this case, Your Majesty, how about you make a bet with me?”

Seeing the imperial concubine’s eyes flickering and her face full of expectation, Emperor Jingwen immediately knew that she must have something to ask for.

Emperor Jingwen raised his eyebrows, showing no fear at all: “Tell me, what are you betting on?”

“How about we bet on the batch of materials that were newly tribute this year?” The imperial concubine said without hesitation, almost blurting out the answer. It was obvious that she had planned this for a long time.

There was no other way. Summer was coming, and it was the time to wear beautiful clothes. Although the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion had also sent a batch of good fabrics, they were certainly not as good as those presented to the emperor.

The imperial concubine overheard it by accident a few days ago, and now she is almost dying of greed.

Emperor Jingwen made a straight hook and Concubine Rong immediately started to jump down.

Emperor Jingwen thought it was something else, but it turned out to be just this?

He couldn’t help but laugh: “It’s just a small matter. I allow you to do it, but…”

Seeing the imperial concubine looking at him eagerly, he had whetted her appetite. It took a long time for Emperor Jingwen to finish his next words: “But if you lose, what will you give me as compensation?”

What could she have to pay? She was already in the palace.

Concubine Rong was trying to get something for nothing: “Just wait and see, I will not lose!”

God bless you, the little bastard must keep his word this time!

Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but admire his imperial concubine. She actually dared to place her trust in her son. What kind of person was their son? Could it be that she still——

As he was talking, Wang Ziquan walked in and said, “Your Majesty, someone from the Grand Tutor’s Mansion just came over to deliver a message.”

After a dozen breaths, Emperor Jingwen was stunned after hearing the message.

It’s actually true!

The sun rises from the west!

Emperor Jingwen once again felt heartfelt joy, but no matter what, even if he was the emperor, he could not have imagined that the Taifu, who was so old-fashioned on weekdays, would actually collude with his son.

His son did not turn over a new leaf, but quietly stepped onto a new level.

Emperor Jingwen didn’t know, so he is very happy now.

Concubine Rong was also very happy to have obtained several rolls of high-quality cloth for free.
