Although Ye Qingning tried his best to hide it, his red and swollen eyes that had obviously been crying could not be hidden from anyone.
Gu Xinian on the side was very calm and calm. But this calmness and calmness made people feel a little strange when contrasted with Ye Qingning's abnormality.
Zheng's mind was racing, and a series of thoughts flashed through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. All the signs were pointing to a shocking guess...
No wonder Ye Qingning suddenly said yesterday that he would come to Ciyun Temple. No wonder three people went out just now, but now four people came back. What happened today was clearly planned. There must be "accomplices" among them!
Who is that "accomplice"? Do you need to think more about it?
Mrs. Zheng tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and joked for a moment as if nothing had happened. Then she said apologetically: "I have been out for so long today, and there are still some things in the house. I must not be rude, so I have to take a step forward."
Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed, she nodded with a smile, and stood up to see him off. Naturally, she could also see things that Mrs. Zheng could detect. Her son was so outstanding, and there were countless girls in the boudoir who admired him. One more Ye Qingning
It’s not surprising. I just didn’t expect Ye Qingning to have the courage to meet Gu Xinian in private...
Ye Qinglan hurriedly followed him out. When no one was paying attention, he quietly tugged on Ye Qingning's sleeves and said in a low voice: "Sixth sister, please take care of yourself." Ye Qingning could naturally understand the deep meaning hidden in the words.
Understand.
Ye Qingning nodded gently.
From the corner of her eye, Mrs. Zheng noticed the subtle movements of the two people, and couldn't help but snort secretly. Sure enough, this matter has something to do with Sister Lan...
After Mrs. Zheng and Ye Qingning got on the sedan and left, Mrs. Zheng led Ye Qinglan back.
Mrs. Zheng slowed down her pace intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning is not young anymore, and her marriage to Jun Yan will probably be finalized soon. It will be a good thing to get married by then." She paused.
After a pause, he sighed again: "It's a pity that Xinian has always refused to get married, and he has missed so many good marriages in vain!"
A few simple words, but they give people a lot of taste.
Ye Qinglan pretended not to have heard anything and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, aunt. Cousin Gu is one of a kind in appearance and talent. He will definitely marry a top beauty to be your daughter-in-law in the future."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said nothing, but her eyes towards Ye Qinglan contained deep meaning.
Even though Ye Qinglan was good at observing words and expressions, she couldn't guess what Mrs. Zheng was thinking at the moment. She couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. She really underestimated these women in the house. Everyone probably knew the scene that happened before. Otherwise,
Mr. Zheng would not leave early, and Mrs. Zheng would not suddenly say these words.
Thinking about it now, she was really a little negligent. She looked at this matter too simply. She just wanted to let Ye Qingning settle this worry, but she did not consider that there would be so many sequelae of this matter. Apart from anything else, she just wanted to let Ye Qingning settle this matter.
She was afraid that Mrs. Zheng had already settled this debt on her head at this moment. She was holding back her breath and waiting for her to have an attack when she returned home! Although Mrs. Zheng did not show any displeasure, her expression was not very happy.
Thinking of Gu Xinian's cold expression and Ye Qingning's sad and crying look, Ye Qinglan finally couldn't help but feel a trace of regret.
If I had known this, I really shouldn't have agreed at that time. But it ended up like this, and everyone felt uncomfortable. It didn't do her any good at all. It was really a big loss!
In the following time, Ye Qinglan consciously stayed with Gu Xiyu, concentrating on chatting quietly with Gu Xiyu. Until she left Ciyun Temple, she didn't even look at Gu Xinian again.
It was a coincidence. When the Duke Dingguo's family was leaving, the Crown Princess and her group happened to leave the monastery. When the female relatives of the two families met, they inevitably had to exchange pleasantries.
Shen Qiuyu still stood silently beside the princess, but her beautiful eyes looked at Gu Xinian quietly.
Gu Xinian did not avoid her gaze this time.
The lovers who reunited after a long separation, the moment their eyes met, each other's hearts surged with unspeakable feelings. A glimmer of water quickly flashed in Shen Qiuyu's eyes, and she lowered her eyelids.
Gu Xinian's eyes were cold.
Ye Qinglan watched Gu Xinian's subtle reaction from the side, and her heart moved slightly.
At this moment, she was almost certain that there must be something behind the breakup of Gu Xinian and Shen Qiuyu. Gu Xinian's delay in getting married was probably not all because of Shen Qiuyu. The so-called infatuation was more like a cover. , hid all Gu Xinian’s thoughts deeply...
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun and the Crown Princess had already finished their greetings, and each said goodbye politely before getting on the sedan chair.
Ye Qinglan got on the sedan with Gu Xiyu. As soon as she sat down, she heard Gu Xiyu say unhappily: "Brother is unhappy again."
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter. Gu Xiyu was not good at words and had a very limited vocabulary. When talking about Gu Xinian, he would only use the words happy or unhappy. In fact, Gu Xinian's complicated mood could not be compared to the words unhappy. expressed.
"When you go back, comfort him and he will be happy." Ye Qinglan encouraged with a smile.
Gu Xiyu hesitated for a moment: "But, I'm not very good at saying comforting words." Ever since she was a child, every time she was unhappy, Gu Xinian would comfort her. She had never done anything to comfort anyone.
Ye Qinglan said softly: "No matter what you say, Cousin Gu will be happy to hear it." Thoughts are the most important!
Gu Xiyu thought for a while and finally made up her mind: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile. For Gu Xiyu, it was a great improvement to be able to take the initiative to express her concern for her family. Gu Xinian loves Gu Xiyu so much, and he will definitely be moved by this feeling. Even if he is in a bad mood, he will not Maybe he lost his temper with Gu Xiyu!
The sedan went smoothly all the way back to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Mrs. Sun specially left everyone to have dinner in Shunyitang. The spacious dining room was more than enough for two tables for a family banquet. It was separated by a translucent jade screen. Gu Mingyuan, Gu Hong, Gu Xinian and Gu Yongnian were three generations of ancestors. Sitting at one table, Mr. Sun, Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan sat at another table.
The Dingguo Palace in Nuo Da is too sparsely populated! After coming here for so many days, I have only seen these few people in front of me. Where have the other people gone?
If I remember correctly, Gu Xinian was ranked fourth. His two sisters who were born as a concubine were already married, and he also had a brother who was born as a concubine. He should have already married and had children. But why have I never seen them from the beginning to the end?
Ye Qinglan was muttering secretly in her heart, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face. She sat upright and put down her chopsticks after eating half the bowl.
Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng ate some casually and began to chat about the affairs of the house.
"They haven't been back for a few months in their prime, right?" asked Sun casually.
Mrs. Zheng responded with a smile: "Since I left on the eighth day of the new year, I haven't been back for half a year."
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but sigh: "Now that they have left, the house is really deserted." Gu Shengnian ranked second, the eldest son of Gu Hong's concubine. He was three years older than Gu Xinian. Gu Shengnian was here
Academically, he was far inferior to his younger brother, but on the other hand, he was much better. He married a wife at the age of sixteen and had two children in just a few years. When he left a year later, his wife Fan was pregnant again.
.Counting the days, I will give birth in two months at most.
Although he is the descendant of a concubine, he is still a serious member of the Duke of Dingguo's family. When Mrs. Sun mentioned her great-great-granddaughter, she naturally had a smile on her face. By the way, she said a few words in a routine: "Xinian is not young anymore."
, who is his age and has a lovely wife and children. Don’t always follow his temper, it’s time to marry him a wife.”
In the past few years, Mrs. Zheng had heard such words many times. Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't show it on her face and she responded respectfully.
In fact, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew very well that Gu Xinian's temper was not easy to control. Otherwise, it would not have been delayed until today.
"By the way, how old is Sister Ning this year? Is she married?" Sun asked seemingly casually.
Mrs. Zheng responded with a calm smile: "Sister Ning is fourteen this year. Although she has not been officially engaged yet, my sister already has the person she likes in mind. The marriage will probably be arranged before the end of this year."
A trace of disappointment quickly flashed across Sun's eyes, she sighed quietly and stopped mentioning the topic.
After the banquet, Zheng and Gu Hong returned to Jingxinyuan first. Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian accompanied them all the way.
Gu Xinian was obviously in a bad mood and remained silent. Gu Xiyu followed Gu Xinian step by step, intending to say a few words of comfort, but after holding it in for a long time, she didn't know what to say. She glanced at Ye Qinglan for help. Ye Qinglan
He gave her an encouraging look.
Gu Xiyu took a deep breath and finally said: "Brother, don't be unhappy. If you are unhappy, I feel unhappy too."
…
Ye Qinglan tried hard not to laugh. What she said was indeed very Gu Xiyu's style!
Although Gu Xinian was upset, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard such straightforward and lovely words: "Don't worry, Yu'er, I'm in a good mood."
Gu Xiyu glanced at Gu Xinian cautiously, and asked cautiously: "Really?" After meeting Shen Qiuyu, could he really maintain a good mood?
Seeing the concern in Gu Xiyu's eyes, Gu Xinian's heart suddenly warmed up, and his chaotic and gloomy mood quietly dissipated: "Of course it's true. When did brother lie to you?"
His face was as calm as ever, and his smile was still so gentle.
Gu Xiyu finally felt a little relieved, and the corners of her lips raised slightly. Cousin Lan really didn't lie to her. She only said a few words, and her elder brother felt better.
Ye Qinglan seemed to know what she was thinking and smiled at her. Although Gu Xiyu's autism has not been cured yet, it is making progress day by day. It is really gratifying!
That night, Ye Qinglan deliberately stayed in Gu Xiyu's house and didn't leave. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
