Chapter 160 Father and Son
Xie Bohuai soaked for a full hour, so long that Si Yan sent Qingshan, who had no sense of propriety, to knock on the door and say it was time for dinner.
It was getting late when Xie Bohuai yawned; he was unusually sick.
"Go tell Madam that I have caught a cold and I'm afraid I might pass it on to Le'er, so I'll stay in the guest room for the next couple of days," Xie Bohuai said.
Qingshan, without suspecting anything, immediately went to deliver the message.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning assumed that Xie Bohuai was deliberately avoiding her, which made her even more embarrassed. She thought about when she should burn those two erotic picture books.
Little Le Ge'er didn't think too much; he only wanted someone to fetch a doctor. "You have to take medicine when you're sick, okay? I'm not afraid of bitter medicine. I'm always very brave."
Qingshan thought that his master was in good health and that even if it was just a cold, he would be fine in a couple of days. However, his wife also suggested that he ask a doctor to take a look, so he went to fetch one.
After the doctor came, took his pulse, prescribed two doses of medicine, and then said, "Your cold is minor, but your liver fire is a bit too strong. You and your husband can have more sexual intercourse. Did you have a nosebleed today?"
The doctor spoke in a very serious tone, which made Qingshan feel embarrassed. He could only understand such direct explanations, and now he understood what was probably causing the nosebleed.
Xie Bohuai said, "Since the medicine has been prescribed, Qingshan, you should see the doctor out." The doctor shouldn't be allowed to say anything more.
Qingshan obediently went to see the doctor off. After the doctor left, he ran into Siyan, pulled him under the eaves, and clicked his tongue, "Why are you beating around the bush? So the doctor said the doctor said the doctor's nosebleed was due to excessive liver fire."
"How to say?"
Qingshan looked around, thinking no one had heard, and immediately relayed the message to Siyan.
Chunxi overheard the gist of the story and then turned to tell Yunzhi.
Since Yunzhi knew, Ye Wanning also knew.
"The doctor said that the master's liver fire is too strong, and he even had a nosebleed today. It's all because of this," Yunzhi said. "Why don't you go and see the master? Since you are husband and wife, it's not right to be indifferent to his illness."
Ye Wanning thought that made sense, but seeing that it was getting dark, she decided to go find Xie Bohuai the next day.
When she arrived at the guest room, Xie Bohuai was reading a letter, his nose was red, and he really looked like he was sick.
"you……"
"I came to see you. How are you today?" Ye Wanning asked.
“It’s nothing serious, you…” He was about to say not to worry, but Xie Bohuai paused and changed his words, “but I still feel a little unwell.”
He rubbed his head and said it hurt a little.
"How about we ask Qingshan and the others to give you a massage?" Ye Wanning suggested.
"Qingshan's hands are rough, so... why don't you massage me?" Xie Bohuai said, coughing lightly twice. "It's okay if it doesn't work, I can bear it, it'll be fine in a couple of days."
Hearing Xie Bohuai say this, Ye Wanning thought that it would be too heartless of her to refuse, so she went over to help Xie Bohuai rub his head.
Xie Bohuai's hair was thick and black. Ye Wanning stood to the side and could see that Xie Bohuai's earlobes were slightly red. Little did she know that Xie Bohuai, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, was already lost in thoughts that couldn't be spoken of.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Wanning felt it was about time. "I'll go check if the medicine you made in the kitchen is ready."
"Okay." Xie Bohuai's lips curled up; he felt as if he were in a dream.
Xie Bohuai recovered quickly and immediately moved back to the room he shared with Ye Wanning.
Le Ge'er has become familiar with the Xie family and sleeps alone at night, leaving only Xie Bohuai and Ye Wanning.
From the soft couch, Xie Bohuai could see Ye Wanning on the bed. She lay on her side, the blankets undulating with her curves. At this moment, Xie Bohuai couldn't help but think of what he had heard people say: that every man has his weaknesses. Before their marriage, he had thought that mutual respect was already very good, something he had never dared to imagine before. Now, he only felt that he had been foolish. How could he possibly remain unmoved by a woman in his lap?
Xie Bohuai couldn't sleep the first night.
However, the next day was the palace examination. An imperial decree came from the palace. Although the emperor dismissed Xie Bohuai from his post as commander, others thought that Xie Bohuai was going to decline. Unexpectedly, the emperor made Xie Bohuai the regent.
Now, Xie Bohuai is truly second only to the emperor, above all others.
Xie Bohuai, who received the imperial decree, was to take the palace examination on behalf of the emperor. He was not surprised at all by the result.
The emperor can only feel at ease if he uses him, and he is also the one who needs to rely on imperial power the most. Ye Wanning was stunned for a moment, and then she understood why Xie Bohuai was not worried about this.
Upon receiving the imperial decree, Xie Bohuai immediately went to the palace to participate in the imperial examination.
When Xie Bohuai appeared, the court officials were all very surprised. No one expected that the emperor trusted Xie Bohuai so much.
As Xie Bohuai passed by several princes, he deliberately stopped, glanced at them, and then began to preside over the palace examination.
Meanwhile, many of the powerful families who received the news sent congratulatory gifts. Now that Xie Bohuai had become the regent, the new emperor's ascension to the throne would also depend on Xie Bohuai's support. To put it bluntly, with Xie Bohuai's abilities, he could put anyone on the throne as he pleased.
However, Ye Wanning stopped all the congratulatory gifts.
Yunzhi went to the door again and again to reply, "Thank you all for your kindness, but my master said that no matter whether I am a commander or a regent, I will remain the same in the future. We appreciate your kindness, but please take the things back."
Everyone shuddered when they thought of Xie Bohuai from the past. He was a ruthless killer, a Yama who killed without blinking an eye. Who would dare to provoke Xie Bohuai back then?
Many people backed down because of this, and some were a bit difficult to deal with, but when Qingshan and several strong men stood guard at the door, those people had no choice but to give up.
Xie Zhongyuan arrived around noon.
He looked at Qingshan, who was guarding the door, and pointed at him, cursing, "Xie Bohuai may be capable, but no matter how capable he is, he is still my son. If you stop me today, tomorrow the whole capital will say he is disobedient and unfilial!"
"Grandpa Xie, my master has severed ties with you." Qingshan didn't mince words; he spoke directly. "Before, Madam Xie prevented my master from studying, fed him dog food, and even sent people to beat him, and you tacitly allowed it all. Now that you see our master has some power, you shamelessly come to our door again and again. You're already decades old; don't you have any shame?"
"You! Who do you think you are! Let Ye Wanning speak. No matter what Xie Bohuai is like in the Xie family, he was raised by the Xie family, and I have the debt of raising him! You lowly servant, what right do you have to criticize me here? Today I want to see if this is what good upbringing the Ye family is like, that they are so unfilial!" Xie Zhongyuan knew that at this point, it was impossible to ease the tension with Xie Bohuai, so he could only use filial piety to pressure Xie Bohuai and Ye Wanning.
"What does this have to do with our lady? It's our master's decision. He said long ago that no one from the Xie family is allowed to enter." Qingshan only listened to his master.
Yunzhi, who overheard the conversation behind the door, felt that things were getting out of hand if they continued to escalate, so she ran back to ask her mistress for her opinion.
