Chapter 1049 Ye Mansion’s Family Affairs!
Seeing An Miaoyi like this, Ye Cui felt even more distressed. After thinking carefully for a moment, she gritted her teeth, then held An Miaoyi's hand and asked seriously:

“Miaoyi, tell me something clearly, did you help Xu Zhaojie assassinate Murong Zhengshan…?”

Although Ye Cui lives a secluded life and does not interfere in the political affairs of Fengwu Army on weekdays, it does not mean that she knows nothing!
In fact, as the biggest supporter of the Ye family in the Fengwu Army, there are always people from the Ye family who bring her the latest news from within the Fengwu Army on weekdays!

She knew everything about the Fengwu Army, but on the one hand, Ye Cui was not keen on the power of government affairs, and on the other hand, she also knew that her son Ye Mingsheng did not like her to interfere too much in government affairs!

Therefore, Ye Cui would just watch plays, eat vegetarian food, and chant Buddhist scriptures at home on weekdays, enjoying her leisure time. As long as it did not involve the affairs of Ye's relatives, she was too lazy to ask too much!
However, this time, seeing Ye Mingsheng neglecting An Miaoyi so much, Ye Cui couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to help An Miaoyi!
Although she had this intention, Ye Cui also needed to know the full picture of the matter before making the decision!
Hearing Ye Cui's question, An Miaoyi felt even more aggrieved and choked up as she spoke:

“Mom, I have been with my husband for such a long time. I know very well how much he hates Xu Zhaojie. How could I have any connection with him…”

"I will not kill Murong Zhengshan either. What good will killing him do for me?"

"My husband wants to unify the world as soon as possible, reduce the burden on the people, and create a peaceful and prosperous era. I know very well that this is his ideal. I can't help him in any way, but I will definitely not hold my husband back!"

"There is a god above my head. I can swear to the Bodhisattva that if the person who assassinated Murong Zhengshan was sent by me, An Miaoyi, I will be punished by heaven and die a miserable death!"

Seeing An Miaoyi swearing with a determined expression, Ye Cui was also moved. She was originally skeptical about the fact that An Miaoyi and Xu Zhaojie had teamed up to assassinate Murong Zhengshan. She didn't quite believe that An Miaoyi would be so cruel as to do such a thing!

Seeing An Miaoyi like this, she believed it most of the time and felt more and more that An Miaoyi had nothing to do with this matter!
After a moment of silence, Ye Cui patted An Miaoyi's hand and said in a deep voice:
"Miaoyi, I believe in you!"

Hearing this, An Miaoyi felt relieved, but her acting skills were also very good. Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes again, and she pretended to be moved and said:

"mother··················"

In order to make Ye Cui believe her, An Miaoyi had to swear again. However, she was still afraid of this kind of oath, so she played a little trick!

What she said was that if the person who assassinated Murong Zhengshan was sent by her, she would be punished by heaven and die a miserable death, not that if she sent someone to assassinate Murong Zhengshan, she would be punished by heaven and die a miserable death!
These two types may seem to have no difference, but in fact there is a huge difference. An Miaoyi also played a word game while Ye Cui was not paying attention!
Although she successfully won Ye Cui's trust, An Miaoyi still felt guilty about the Bodhisattva in the dark. But she could only comfort herself in her heart that although she did have the intention to kill Murong Zhengshan and was ready to take action, she stopped herself in the end!
Moreover, she did not lie. The person who assassinated Murong Zhengshan was indeed not arranged by her. She did not deceive the Bodhisattva. At most, she would burn more incense and donate more money to the Bodhisattva in the future!

At this time, Ye Cui didn't know what An Miaoyi was thinking, and after An Miaoyi made such a vicious oath, the old lady really felt that An Miaoyi was wronged and it was not her fault!
For this old lady, she may not care about other things, but Ye Cui thinks that this matter belongs to their Ye family’s family affair, and she can’t let others frame An Miaoyi...
So at this moment, Ye Cui also made an important decision and said to Nanny Wang beside her:
"Go and invite the Marshal over. I'm going to host a family dinner tonight, and we're going to have a good meal together!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, An Miaoyi still looked aggrieved on the surface, but she was secretly delighted in her heart. After being ignored by Ye Mingsheng for a month, she really couldn't bear it anymore, so today she brought Jingren to visit Ye Cui, and she also wanted to ask Ye Cui to make a decision for her!
Originally, An Miaoyi thought that it might take some effort to get Ye Cui to take action, but she never expected that it would be so effortless!
However, when she thought about the next meeting with Ye Mingsheng, An Miaoyi still felt a little nervous. She knew that Ye Mingsheng was much more difficult to fool than Ye Cui!
These little tricks of hers might be able to deceive Ye Cui, but they might not be able to deceive Ye Mingsheng!
Thinking of Ye Mingsheng's family rules, a blush also appeared on An Miaoyi's face, and her legs seemed to be slightly tightened.
At Ye Cui's call, Ye Mingsheng naturally arrived as promised, but after seeing An Miaoyi beside him, Ye Mingsheng also understood Ye Cui's thoughts. Ye Mingsheng deliberately ignored An Miaoyi and bowed to greet Ye Cui.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng coming, Ye Cui asked the maids to start the banquet. Ye Mingsheng wanted to sit next to Ye Cui and let Jingren sit next to him and An Miaoyi, but Ye Cui was obviously prepared and directly pulled Jingren to her side. In this way, Ye Mingsheng could only sit next to An Miaoyi·······························
As if she felt Ye Mingsheng's deliberate neglect of her, there was a hint of resentment in An Miaoyi's eyes!
She didn't understand. She was clearly framed. It was the thieves from the Murong family who used a trick to frame her. Not only did Ye Mingsheng not help her, but he treated her like this. Has she really fallen out of favor?

As the banquet began, Ye Mingsheng, Ye Cuishi, and An Miaoyi all had their own concerns. Only Jingren was worried about something and ate a lot at the banquet!
Although Jingren likes to eat meat as much as Ye Mingsheng, he can only eat some vegetarian food here at the place of Ye Cui, who has always worshipped Buddha. However, this does not affect Jingren's appetite. For Jingren, who is still growing, he accepts both meat and vegetables!
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng and An Miaoyi were sitting together, but Ye Mingsheng still had no communication with An Miaoyi, Ye Cui was a little anxious and pointed at the casserole on the table and said:

"Today's ginseng soup is very good. Miaoyi, please give Mingsheng a bowl. He needs a good nourishment as he is busy with official duties every day!"

"Yes! Mother!"

Hearing this, An Miaoyi immediately stood up and was about to serve soup to Ye Mingsheng. When An Miaoyi handed the bowl of soup to him, the two of them looked at each other. Feeling the resentment and grievance in An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes, Ye Mingsheng calmly took the bowl of soup...
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was still holding back, Ye Cui couldn't help but feel anxious. She signaled the nanny beside her to take Jingren away after he had eaten, and then dismissed the other servants in the room. When there were only three of them left in the room, Ye Cui asked Ye Mingsheng solemnly:

"Mingsheng! I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to tell me the truth!"

Hearing the old lady's question, Ye Mingsheng felt a little helpless, but he could only nod and say:
"Mom! Just ask!"

"Mingsheng, mother asked you if the people in the Coordination Office found any evidence that Miaoyi and Xu Zhaojie colluded to assassinate Murong Zhengshan?"

After hearing this, An Miaoyi felt a little nervous. Although she did not collude with Xu Zhaojie, she was really planning to send someone to kill Murong Zhengshan. Although she gave up in the end, once any evidence was found, things would become very difficult!
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng turned his head and glanced at An Miaoyi. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and met Ye Cui's gaze and said:

"No!" As Ye Mingsheng's voice fell, An Miaoyi, who had been lowering her head and pretending to be aggrieved, suddenly felt much more at ease!

Because of the answer "no", Ye Cui was more confident. She immediately said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Since there is no evidence, Mingsheng, why do you ignore Miaoyi so much?"

After asking this question, without waiting for Ye Mingsheng to answer, Ye Cui continued:
“Mingsheng, mother knows that you are a man who can do great things and have your own ambitions…”

"But in order to allow you to have no worries and realize your ambitions, Miaoyi has sacrificed so much for our family!"

"Everything in our family is managed by Miaoyi. Look, the house is in perfect order now. This is all thanks to Miaoyi!"

Seeing Ye Cui scolding Ye Mingsheng, An Miaoyi felt relieved, but on the surface she still forced a smile and said:
"Mother, this is what I should do. I don't have any other skills to share my husband's worries. I can only take good care of this family for him so that he doesn't have to worry about anything when he is fighting outside!"

Seeing his mother and An Miaoyi singing the same tune here, Ye Mingsheng felt a little helpless. Seeing An Miaoyi being so sensible, Ye Cui continued:
"Mingsheng, look at how sensible Miaoyi is. It is your blessing in this life to marry Miaoyi. You must cherish it!"

"Mother knows that Mingsheng, you are getting higher and higher in power now, and there are more and more people around you. With more people, there are more voices talking!"

"But Mingsheng, mother hopes that you can understand that you and Miaoyi are husband and wife. You must stick together through thick and thin in this life. Your hearts must be closely connected!"

“Mingsheng, there are more and more women around you. Mother knows you know it, so I never said anything. But mother hopes you understand that a wife who has shared the hardships with you should not be abandoned. You must not listen to anyone’s slander and do things that will make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy…”

"You have been so cold to Miaoyi during this period, and there are all kinds of rumors in the mansion. What do you want Miaoyi, the eldest wife, to do?"

"The servants are not working honestly anymore. They are always trying to figure out who will be promoted next so that they can curry favor with the powerful!"

"Mingsheng, if we continue like this, will our family still be okay?"

Ye Mingsheng sighed in his heart and glanced at An Miaoyi out of the corner of his eye, only to see that An Miaoyi was also quietly staring at him at this time!

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng noticed her little action, An Miaoyi quickly sat up straight, eyes on nose, nose on mouth, and mouth on heart!
Although he had his own thoughts in mind, looking at the emotional Ye Cui, Ye Mingsheng could only nod and say:

"Mom, I understand!"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's answer, Ye Cui did not say anything more, but just instructed again:
"Mingsheng, go to Miaoyi's yard tonight to rest, and check Jingren's homework to see how Jingren is doing with Mr. Gu recently!"

As soon as these words were spoken, An Miaoyi's eyes showed some expectation. Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment, but under Ye Cui's gaze he could only nod in the end.

Half an hour later, Ye Mingsheng, who had said nothing after the banquet, came to An Miaoyi’s courtyard. Seeing Ye Mingsheng’s appearance, everyone in the courtyard looked very happy...

They and An Miaoyi share the same fate, and as rumors about An Miaoyi's fall from favor spread more and more in the mansion, they couldn't help but become worried. Now the appearance of Ye Mingsheng is undoubtedly the best evidence to break these rumors!

Ye Mingsheng was not in the mood to check Jingren's homework tonight, so after checking it casually, Ye Mingsheng let the boy go back to sleep!
Seeing that it was late at night and when Ye Mingsheng was a little hesitant, Qiqige personally brought Ye Mingsheng some foot washing water. After a little hesitation, Ye Mingsheng agreed to her wishes!
While Qiqige was washing his feet, Ye Mingsheng also realized that her purpose was not simple. The neckline was opened just right so that he could see the whole scenery!
However, after years of experience in the battlefield, Ye Mingsheng still has a good concentration. After drinking a cup of tea and washing his feet, Ye Mingsheng found that An Miaoyi was already lying on the bed, looking at him quietly!

Although she didn't say anything, it seemed as if she had said everything. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment, but finally lay down. As Ye Mingsheng lay down, the excited An Miaoyi immediately let go of her reserve, hugged Ye Mingsheng tightly, and said with tears in her eyes:

“Husband, I have never done anything to let you down in my life. Husband, please don’t treat me like this…”

(I’ll stop here for today. Tomorrow I’ll find an opportunity to extend this and give a further explanation. I don’t know what you think of this. I’m all ears!)
