The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2064 - 2066: Apology

"Xiaxia, what did it say up there?" Ms. Luo asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just some words about wealth and glory."

Yang Chuxia put away the note, but her heart was not at ease. The Grand Emperor actually asked her for help. Logically, when the Emperor ascended the throne, Ye Zi’an had already betrayed him once. How could he dare to seek her help again?

"Xiaxia, I’m sorry about yesterday."

Yang Chuxia raised an eyebrow. Ms. Luo was apologizing? That was quite rare.

"Losing a daughter makes your heart anxious. I understand this time, but if there’s a next time, I won’t be so polite."

Whether in a past or present life, Ms. Luo was the first to slap her face. If it weren’t for Yang Dongxue’s sisters, the hand that hit her would have been crippled long ago.

"Hehe," Ms. Luo laughed awkwardly. After the incident, she was a bit scared too; she had lost her head and forgotten this was a female tyrant she was dealing with.

"Xiaxia, I’ve come to terms with it. Regarding Dongxue’s matter, she can’t blame others; her personality is too strong, and she can’t work things out. Better a poor life than a good death."

Why jump off a cliff? Isn’t that just madness?

"Aunt, it’s good you’ve come to terms. Now that you understand, don’t make a scene in front of so many people, causing us all to lose face."

Fortunately, the household was strictly managed on a daily basis; no one dared to play the sycophant, or this would have spread outside the residence long ago.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Luo again lowered her head in embarrassment.

When returning to the residence, Ye Zi’an had just come back from outside, and Yang Chuxia quickly pulled him into the inner room.

"Oh, why is my wife so enthusiastic today? So impatient?"

"Shut up!" Yang Chuxia glared at him angrily, "I just came back from the royal monastery. Can any good come from something that disrespectful?"

"Oh," Ye Zi’an nodded and asked, "Then why did you urgently pull me into the room? I thought my wife had some improper intentions towards me."

"Your mind is full of rogue thoughts all day." Yang Chuxia twisted his arm, then showed him the note, "Someone at the royal monastery gave it to me. He looked unwell, probably doesn’t have long to live."

"Seeking help from us?" Ye Zi’an shook his head, "I don’t want him to die, but this is really a tricky matter."

It’s likely Baili Yan wants him dead. If he goes to rescue him, it might upset Baili Yan. But not rescuing him, he wouldn’t be where he is today without the Grand Emperor’s help.

No matter his self-serving calculations, he has been good to him.

Not helping would make him seem too heartless.

"I’ll think about it," Ye Zi’an said, saving him might not be possible, but maybe he could help him live a bit longer.

"Mm."

With Ye Zi’an handling the matter, Yang Chuxia didn’t give it much thought.

"By the way, I need to take Qingrui and Qingtong to visit some masters in the coming days," Ye Zi’an added. "Help me prepare some fine writing materials, and also bring out two sets of the ones bestowed by the Emperor."

"That can be done."

"The studies that needed reviewing are almost done; buried inside, they can’t flourish. It’s better to go out and get guidance from renowned experts."

In the following days, Ye Zi’an indeed took Yang Qingrui and his brother to visit various places, occasionally discussing state affairs with them and even posing some questions for his younger brothers-in-law to answer.

Both had real talent and learning. Ye Zi’an noted that their answers were good. Yang Qingtong was sure to pass, the only question being his ranking.

As for Yang Qingrui, who was slightly weaker, Ye Zi’an originally suggested he wait to take the exam, but Yang Qingrui felt since they had already come, he might as well experience the exam, and it didn’t matter if he failed to pass.
