My First Husband After Transmigration - Chapter 51
After saying that, she looked in the direction her son had gone, her eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness: "I'm just worried about the future... that after my late husband is gone, You'er will be like this."
It seems that the grief of losing her husband is far less than the worry for her son. Who can understand the feelings of a mother?
No one dared to say anything more.
Madam Ye, her sorrow vanishing slightly, smiled and invited everyone to stay. She then instructed the servants to prepare rooms, which suited everyone perfectly. Since it concerned her, it would be better for them to stay and investigate at their leisure. He Bi then ceased his refusal.
The servant received the order and was about to lead everyone to settle in when Madam Ye called them back just as they reached the door.
She slowly walked to the front of the crowd: "As for my late husband's matter, I am naturally at ease knowing that you have all investigated it. But what I am most worried about now is You'er, seeing him like this..."
After a pause, she suddenly bowed and said, "I only ask that you all teach him more lessons in your spare time. I would be extremely grateful."
Everyone was stunned, not expecting her to make such a request. In the end, these were all other people's family matters. No matter how outrageous Tang Keyou was, how could they, as outsiders, interfere?
Nangong Xue hesitated: "This is a matter for the lady's family, we..."
"I know this must be very difficult," Madam Ye said, wiping away her tears. "I only beg you, for the sake of my late husband in the afterlife, if You'er continues like this, I..."
She had already turned her face away and couldn't continue speaking.

In He Bi's room, everyone was sitting and drinking tea, but Qiu Bailu, who had never been interested in such things, went back to her room.
Li You looked at the tea in his cup and smiled wryly: "Are we here to investigate a case or to take care of someone else's son? I really don't want to offend that Young Master Tang."
Nangong Xue also shook her head.
He Bi coldly replied, "I only investigate cases."
“The case must be investigated, and the young master should also take charge,” said the servant who brought them. He had a round face and a clever look. He smiled at everyone and said, “My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Wu. My wife has instructed me to ask that you all not be polite and to just give orders to my servants if you need anything.”
Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Is this how your young master always is?"
Wang Wu immediately shook his head when Tang Keyou was mentioned.
"Although the young master was unruly before, he was always well-mannered in public. It is probably because of the lord's matter that he has become like this. The madam has really been heartbroken..."
Excessive grief? Yang Nianqing didn't believe it. Although grief can drive a person to extremes, for someone like Tang Keyou... the reason definitely shouldn't be just grief.
Wang Wu was clearly the kind of person who could talk a good game; once he started, he went on and on: "Now that the lord of the fortress is gone, and the young master is causing quite a scene, the madam just sits in a daze all day."
Li You nodded: "It's a pity that the 'Three Heroes in Arms' were so famous back then... Lord Tang was also a hero of his time. Now that he's gone, your wife must be heartbroken... I heard that he and his wife always had a very good relationship."
Wang Wu shook his head: "Madam is more worried about the young master."
Yang Nianqing immediately asked curiously, "Isn't your wife saddened by the death of Lord Tang?"
Wang Wu glanced outside the door, shook his head, and said softly, "Of course she is heartbroken. After the Lord of the Fortress had his accident, the Lady sat there for two days without eating or drinking. But for some reason, she has been arguing with the Lord of the Fortress all year round."
Li You laughed: "I don't believe that. I'm afraid you're just joking. I've heard that Madam Ye and Lord Tang have a very good relationship and have never had a fight."
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Wang Wu got anxious and argued, "I have not uttered a single falsehood. Although we servants do not know what they are arguing about, we are not the only ones who heard it!"
Then, with a mysterious smile, he added, "You all don't know, but you never imagined that someone as gentle as Madam could be so fierce when she gets angry..."
It seems the rumors of discord between the couple are true, and that Mrs. Ye was the one who instigated it.
Li You blinked. (9a)
"How could Madam Ye, so virtuous, get angry? Could it be..." He paused deliberately, a hint of ambiguity in his handsome face, "...could it be because of something that happened outside with a man..."
Yang Nianqing chuckled to herself; he was acting really gossipy.
Wang Wu laughed as expected: "To be honest, young master, I'm afraid others would think the same way if they heard this, but as for our lord, that's a huge injustice. The lord's love for his wife is unparalleled in the world..."
Yang Nianqing deliberately interrupted him: "How do you know what he's secretly doing outside?"
Wang Wu said smugly, "You all don't know this, but the Lord of the Fortress is usually accompanied by a few of his servants when he goes out. In the past year or two, the Lord of the Fortress has only gone to Young Master Lin's place and hasn't been to those other places."
"Young Master Lin?"
"It's the sworn brother of the fortress lord, Young Master Lin Xing from Little Stone Street in the city."
Lin Xing has been dragged into this again?
The group looked at each other.
“I see,” Li You said with a smile. “It seems you know quite a bit about their affairs.”
Wang Wu was taken aback, realizing he had misspoke, and quickly smiled apologetically: "The servants all know about these things, how could I dare to speak of them? I only heard them mention them by chance, and I'm afraid it's not very true."
Everyone found it somewhat amusing.
Wang Wu, however, was filled with trepidation. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he took his leave.
After a while.
He Bi looked out the door and said coldly, "She knows martial arts."
"who?"
"Mrs. Ye" 57
.
Even at dusk, the streets were still bustling.
Yang Nianqing was very unhappy.
She originally wanted to name him Nangong Xue, who was kind, rich, and generous, making him the perfect shopping companion. However, he didn't know martial arts, and since being poisoned, her biggest worry was whether he would die. He Bi and Qiu Bailu were both "gods" and "bosses." Would you be willing to take a "boss" shopping with you?
Therefore, only one option remains.
This idle man, the Flower-Picking Gentleman, the Playboy, is quite handsome and has plenty of money, but he's incredibly stingy with himself!
Furthermore, he was too "star-like"—his white clothes were flamboyant, and he was dashing and debonair, a veritable heartthrob. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention! In less than fifteen minutes, countless "affectionate" gazes were focused on him, which made Yang Nianqing feel very unbalanced.
Seeing the infatuated looks in their eyes, Yang Nianqing felt increasingly uncomfortable as she walked away. Finally, she couldn't help but push him, saying, "Hey, playboy, it's time for you to be vain."
Li You stopped in his tracks: "What's wrong now?"
To be honest, Yang Nianqing was also quite surprised. He was unusually well-behaved today, not glancing at any woman with his eyes, and simply walking slowly with her.
She pointed upstairs: "Didn't you see they're all looking at you?"
"So what?"
"Don't you love beauty?"
Upon hearing this, Li You couldn't help but raise his long eyelashes. Without the slightest hesitation, he looked directly at the cutest and most beautiful girl standing in the corner of the railing, wearing a yellow shirt and green skirt. His handsome face showed admiration and longing.
"It's quite surprising that there are such beauties here."
So I already knew which one was the best... This guy acted all gentlemanly with his eyes closed, but he must have been spying on me for a long time. That's what you call "true colors"!
Yang Nianqing said irritably, "Then why aren't you going up?"
Li You withdrew his gaze, glanced at her with amusement, and continued walking forward: "Beautiful as she is, she can only be admired from afar."
She followed him and said, "You're seducing so many beautiful women, don't you think you're harming the public?"
He smiled wryly: "Miss Yang, what can I do if others want to see this?"
Seeing him like this, Yang Nianqing was inexplicably a little happier. She deliberately patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, beauties can be admired from afar, but also up close. And playboys can also... cough... pick some while they're at it."
Upon hearing this, Li You stopped in his tracks, his bright eyes fixed on her, a look of amusement on his face.
Yang Nianqing immediately looked away, feigning nonchalance—was it really necessary to be so strange? Although such words might be considered shocking in ancient times, he had already seen them before…
After a while.
Li You sighed: "I really don't understand what you're thinking about all day long?"
"Anyway, I didn't think about your dirty deeds."
"Is that so?" He suppressed a laugh. "Does Miss Yang know what I'm thinking?"
"certainly."
"What is it?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
Li You stared at her for a long time, then suddenly murmured, "The beauty has arrived."
What's the meaning?
Before Yang Nianqing could figure it out, dust rose in the distance, and a familiar-looking carriage sped towards them.

Dressed in fine clothes, yet disregarding his status and personally driving the carriage, his arrogant and self-willed attitude, which he allowed others to slander, could only be found in Tang Keyou.
The carriage drew closer and its speed gradually slowed down, finally stopping in front of a brothel.
He seemed to have no intention of getting out of the car. He simply leaned casually against the door, put away the whip, and gave the girls upstairs a lazy smile, looking utterly exhausted.
However, in the blink of an eye, he was already standing under the carriage, his movements clean and graceful.
A series of soft cries rang out. (43)
.
"Women love bad boys!" Yang Nianqing couldn't help but exclaim, "So handsome!"
"My mouth is watering, Miss Yang!" came the murmured voice.
Hearing that magnetic voice, Yang Nianqing snapped out of her daze and was about to retort, but then she swallowed her words and smiled maliciously: "What, are you jealous?"
Li You remained silent.
Yang Nianqing coughed, secretly amused: "I'm warning you, stop thinking such unhealthy things. I just think he's really handsome, that's all..."
