The eldest lady stayed in the snow all night and talked for a long time. She originally wanted to keep him for dinner, but she gave up when she heard that he had an appointment with His Highness Yan Li.
She personally walked Ye Guixue to the door and said to him, "When will you leave tomorrow? Auntie will go out of the city to see you off."
Ye Guixue said quickly: "Auntie, there is no need to send it off. Just let the princess and Qiu Ying send it off to me tomorrow."
The eldest lady smiled and said: "That's okay. Since they are here to see you off, I won't see you off tomorrow. I wonder when you will come to Daliang next time? If you are not in a hurry to return, you can also go to Jiangzhou's home to sit there. Although you
Your engagement with Xiao Qi has been broken off, but your friendship is still there and it’s okay to get along as close friends. You are always welcome in our family."
The eldest lady's words were beautiful, but they were also sincere. She truly felt that Ye Guixue and Su Rong could still be close friends even if they were not husband and wife, as long as they were not hostile.
Ye Guixue smiled and agreed, "Okay."
He got on the carriage and said warmly to the eldest lady: "It's cold and cold, aunt, please go back quickly! I will visit aunt again when I come to pick up Qiu Ying next time."
The eldest lady said two good words in a row.
After Ye Guixue's carriage left, the eldest lady returned to the yard. Instead of going back to her own room, she went to Su Xingze's room.
Su Xingze was reading the archives of Jibei. The prince had given them to him when he left the East Palace that day. After he sent Zhou Gu back, he stayed in the room to read the archives. After Ye Guixue came to the door, the eldest lady did not let anyone in.
No one bothered him even if he called him, so he didn't know Ye Guixue was coming.
The eldest lady entered the room despite the cold air. Su Xingze raised his head and looked at the eldest lady in surprise, "Mother, you didn't take a nap? Where did you go?"
"I didn't go anywhere. Ye Guixue came to say goodbye to me. I sat there for an hour and talked with him." The eldest lady sat down and sighed, "Nothing else, I just came to see you.
I want to talk to you."
Su Xingze put down the scroll.
The eldest lady said directly: "Hey, I just think that this child Ye Guixue is also very good."
Su Xingze was noncommittal, everyone could see how good Ye Guixue was.
The eldest lady continued: "He was preparing to be the king's husband five years ago. He spent 1,800 days and nights strictly disciplining himself and not daring to slack off. The tiger talisman with one hundred thousand soldiers was also obtained by him after a narrow escape for Xiao Qi.
After five years of panic, all the efforts were made in vain, and now he returns empty-handed. Do you think he is really willing to do so?"
Su Xingze didn't know either.
The eldest lady asked him, "Are you willing to let you go?"
Su Xingze was silent for a moment and shook his head, "If I were him, I would naturally not be willing to accept it, right?"
"Yeah, I also think how can he be willing to do so?" The eldest lady sighed, "He said he doesn't blame Xiao Qi. I don't think he is lying, he seems to be sincere and doesn't complain. But if you are not a saint, how can you endure it?
Returning empty-handed like this? If he doesn’t blame Xiao Qi, but is unwilling to do so, what should he do? "
"If he doesn't blame Qimei, does it mean that he will not go against Qimei and will continue to support Qimei? But if he is not willing to do so, then..." Su Xingze paused, "Recapture Qimei? Let her give up Zhou Gu?
"
"Difficult!" The eldest lady shook her head, "You should know that your seventh sister, if she didn't like Zhou Gu so much, it would be absolutely impossible for her to break out of Ye Guixue's marriage because of her soft heart. After all, no matter how you look at it,
Anyone who asks a fool to look at it can tell that it is in her best interest to choose Ye Guixue. But now she is acting on emotion, regretting it, and choosing Zhou Gu."
"You also said that you have no control over feelings." Su Xingze looked at the eldest lady, "So, mother is worried that Ye Guixue will take action against Zhou Gu because she is unwilling to do so?"
"Maybe! I'm just worrying randomly." The eldest lady said helplessly: "Who made your sister like that boy Zhou Gu? Whoever your sister likes, I will naturally follow him. I don't want anything to happen to him, I hope he is well.
"
Su Xingze laughed and said, "Mom, please feel relieved! Maybe you are overthinking, or maybe Zhou Gu is not afraid."
"That's right. Anyway, it's nothing for me to worry about. I can't control it." The eldest lady stood up and said, "That's all, I just want to talk to you. I'm not going to panic because I'm holding it back. Now that I can talk to you, I feel better. Okay, you can get busy.
, I’m also tired, I have to go and rest for a while.”
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Su Xingze to answer, she came and left in a hurry.
After Ye Guixue left Dongsi Hutong, she went directly to Mingyue Tower.
He arrived early, more than half an hour earlier than the dinner time agreed with the second prince Yan Lin, but Yan Lin had already arrived earlier.
After the young man led Ye Guixue to Room No. 1, Yan Lin looked at him in surprise, "Second Young Master Ye, you are here so early? I thought you would arrive later."
Ye Guixue said: "I came here just by the way. Your Highness arrived earlier."
Yan Lin looked at him and said, "I was thinking about the cooperation with Young Master Ye. I couldn't wait any longer, so I came early to wait."
Ye Guixue sat down opposite Yan Lin and said to him: "Your Highness, please speak frankly! I will set off early tomorrow morning, and I don't have much time."
Yan Lin nodded. Originally, his friendship with Ye Guixue was not very good, so there was no point in gossiping, so he said directly to him: "The Nangong family has found my father-in-law and promised that if my father-in-law can kill Miss Su Qi,
The Nangong family was willing to give up half of their wealth. Young Master Ye knew that half of the Nangong family's wealth was a big temptation, and my father-in-law was short of money to support the army. Although the treasury has had less money flowing into Northern Hebei in recent years than other
There is a lot of space, but if you want to build elite soldiers and generals, you still can't do it with so little money. Therefore, my father-in-law is very excited about the Nangong family's proposal."
Ye Guixue nodded.
Seeing that he was listening carefully, Yan Lin continued: "My father-in-law wrote to ask for our opinions. We are thinking about the relationship between Young Master Ye and Miss Su Qi. If we don't want Miss Su Qi's life to be in danger, Second Young Master Ye should do something."
?This palace knows that the young lady of the Nangong family has an engagement with the eldest son of Ye Xiangfu, and the wedding is imminent, but in the relationship between the two houses, this tie is just a temporary measure."
He took out a dagger and lightly scratched the tablecloth, metaphorically saying: "Today's Nangong family and Ye Xiang's Mansion are nothing more than this tablecloth covering the table. As long as there is a slight external force, it will fall apart. Several generations of the Nangong family have
It has always been the dominant one. The Ye Xiang Mansion has been suppressed by the power of the Nangong family for too long. Do you always want to succumb to the Nangong family and never stand up? This is impossible. Otherwise, you will not support a man who is in Nan Gong because you are looking for a way out.
You are a princess who has no foundation."
Ye Guixue said nothing.
Yan Lin put away the dagger, looked at him and said: "Why don't the Second Young Master Ye and the Ye Prime Minister's Office cooperate with this palace? Although the prince has the Protector's Palace, but for so many years, his father has suppressed it, and the Protector's Palace has long been in decline. How dare this palace
Guarantee, the current Protectorate's government, due to the deduction of military pay for many years, has already lost its military strength to that of my father-in-law. Miss Su Qi supports the East Palace and relies on the Crown Prince.
In addition to not having the status of a prince, this palace has a much stronger military force than him. In this world, civil servants rule and military generals rule the country. The future of the Liang Dynasty may not belong to Yan Huisheng. This palace supports the second young master Ye and Miss Su Qi.
Instead of believing in Yan Huisheng, you should cooperate with me. In the future, our palace will be honored as a great treasure, and Nan Chu can strip off its status as a vassal state and be on an equal footing with Daliang. As for your Ye Xiang Mansion, this palace will also help you eradicate the Nangong family, making your Ye Xiang Mansion unstoppable.
