Mrs. Zheng was smiling at first, but when she saw Gu Xiyu walking in with red eyes, her face suddenly changed. She quickly stood up and walked over, and asked nervously: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Xiyu bit her lip and said nothing.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Ye Qinglan naturally, and was startled again. Ye Qinglan's face was also a little pale, and it was obvious that she had not slept well last night. What happened to the two of them? Could it be that they were having an argument?
Ye Qinglan calmed down and went forward to see the gift first, and then said with a smile: "There have been many disturbances here these days, and I would like to thank my aunt for her warm hospitality. However, Sister Qiao's first birthday is coming soon, so I should say goodbye and go back
It’s home.”
Mrs. Zheng was stunned again. She lived well, so why did Ye Qinglan suddenly have to say goodbye and go back today? No wonder Yu'er was in such a low mood!
"Why don't you stay for a few more days and go back." Mrs. Zheng smiled and persuaded her to stay: "I'm also going to Sister Qiao's birthday party. You can just go back with me then."
Ye Qinglan smiled and responded: "Thank you for your kindness, aunt. I'd better go back early. I don't have much luggage. The maids are packing it up. It will be ready in one or two hours at most." Although his tone was gentle, his intention was to leave.
Very determined.
Mrs. Zheng didn't want to stay any longer, so she could only smile and nodded: "Since you want to go back, I won't let you stay. However, you have to have lunch before going back. I will tell the kitchen to prepare some food you like.
Dishes.”
Ye Qinglan was naturally not ignorant of the kindness of others, so she stood up with a smile and thanked her. The matter of leaving Dingguo Duke's Mansion was settled like this.
Gu Xiyu was in a bad mood and kept her head down without speaking. She was in a very low mood.
Mrs. Zheng looked distressed, but she couldn't say anything to comfort her. Ye Qinglan also saw Gu Xiyu's lonely and affectionate eyes, and she didn't know what it felt like. But when she thought of Gu Xinian's cold and cruel face last night, she left.
The intention to leave became more and more determined.
The lunch meal was rich and exquisite, and many of it were Ye Qinglan's favorite dishes. In the past, she pretended to eat less, but today she had lost her appetite. Sora was not in the mood to use her chopsticks when facing a table of delicious food.
I forced myself to eat some, but I didn't know how to taste it.
Gu Xiyu lowered her head listlessly to count the grains of rice, fidgeting with her chopsticks in the bowl, but she didn't even take a few bites.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zheng felt really distressed and coaxed her in a low voice for a long time. Not only did Gu Xiyu fail to cheer up, but her eyes were red again. She bit her lip with her teeth and said nothing, only looking with her big dark eyes.
With Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan secretly smiled helplessly. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that all the words seemed pale and weak at this moment. She had to turn a blind eye cruelly.
Gu Xiyu is very dependent on her, and it is normal for her to be reluctant to leave her now. However, she will be fine in a few days. She does not have to blame herself for this. She cannot stay with Gu Xiyu forever, and one day, Gu Xiyu
You have to learn to face everything by yourself...
Ye Qinglan thought silently in her heart. But the sadness in her heart lingered.
After lunch, Ye Qinglan formally bid farewell to Mrs. Zheng.
The carriage was ready. The maids were busy packing their luggage. When they arrived, there were only two or three packages, but when they left, there were four or five more. Inside were all the new clothes that Mrs. Zheng had customized for her, as well as gifts for her.
some jewelry and the like.
Mrs. Zheng led Gu Xiyu and personally escorted Ye Qinglan to the gate. She earnestly warned: "If you are free in the future, you might as well come to the house to play more. Xiyu and I welcome you at any time."
Although the words were polite, Mrs. Zheng said them sincerely and affectionately.
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart and responded with a smile. But she knew very well in her heart that she would never set foot here again...
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan sighed in her heart, and naturally looked at Gu Xiyu who was standing aside. Gu Xiyu's eyes were already filled with water, and she looked at Ye Qinglan pitifully. She obviously had a lot of things in her heart, but she couldn't say a word.
Ye Qinglan stepped forward and gently held Gu Xiyu's hand: "Cousin Xiyu, please take care of yourself."
Gu Xiyu choked and nodded, holding back the tears for a long time and finally fell.
Ye Qinglan felt sour and bitter in her heart, but she squeezed out the gentlest smile on her face: "Don't cry, it's not like we won't have the chance to meet each other in the future. In a few days, won't we be able to meet again at Sister Qiao's birthday party?
?”
"But, I really can't let you go..." Gu Xiyu sobbed aggrievedly. She has been living in her own world since she was a child. Except for her family, she has almost never been so close to a girl of the same age. Ye Qinglan is so
As soon as she left, her heart suddenly felt empty, as if something important had been taken away.
Ye Qinglan hugged Gu Xiyu out of habit and whispered a few words of coaxing.
At this moment, a handsome young man wearing a moon-white brocade robe appeared at the door, walking gracefully with an outstanding demeanor that made people unable to take their eyes away.
When Ye Qinglan saw him, she subconsciously snorted in her heart. What was he doing here? Was he too happy when he heard that she was leaving, so he came here to "send off"?
Ye Qinglan was still smiling, but there was a bit of wariness and coldness in her eyes.
Gu Xinian was well aware of her unkindness, but he only showed ignorance on his face. He walked forward with a smile and said calmly: "Cousin Lan, are you going back today? How many more days will you stay?"
hypocritically!
Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips and responded in a distant and polite manner: "I've been bothering you in your house for so long. Thanks to Cousin Gu for taking care of me, I would like to thank Cousin Gu here."
Gu Xinian smiled and said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "I am really ashamed that Cousin Lan said this. I should thank Cousin Lan more. These days, Yu'er has become a lot more lively and cheerful, and she has become more beautiful.
I had my own opinion before. All this is the 'credit' of Cousin Lan."
Among the people present, probably only Ye Qinglan could hear the deep sarcasm in his gentle words.
Ye Qinglan had been feeling sulky since last night. Now that Gu Xinian came to her door, there was no reason not to retaliate. She replied with a smile: "Cousin Gu is so complimentary of my little cleverness.
, how can I compare to Cousin Gu. Even without me, Cousin Xiyu will become better and better under the care and care of Cousin Gu."
Gu Xinian can naturally understand Ye Qinglan's sarcasm. Shen Qiuyu and he must bear most of the responsibility for Gu Xiyu's gloomy and withdrawn life, especially him. If he hadn't been impulsive back then, he wouldn't have listened to Shen Qiuyu's cries and done what he did.
She made a wrong decision, which caused Gu Xiyu to become what she became later...
Gu Xinian was poked in the softest part of his heart, and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had to squeeze out a gentle and friendly smile on his face: "Cousin Lan is right. I will naturally take good care of Yu'er in the future, so you don't have to
I'm 'worrying' about Yu'er."
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Cousin Gu is a dignified man, so of course he does what he says. I don't have to worry about it in the future." It's just that Gu Xiyu will lose a friend.
Both of them have a gentle face, and they are even more polite in their speech. At first glance, it sounds like they are too polite. In fact, secretly they are completely tit-for-tat and refuse to give in to each other!
Gu Xiyu glanced at the two of them blankly, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. There seemed to be something wrong with her eldest brother and cousin Lan. But she couldn't tell what the specific blame was...
Mrs. Zheng is much smarter and more sophisticated than Gu Xiyu, and she has already noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere between the two. It is obvious that the two of them are not very harmonious.
This is strange. Although Gu Xinian never gets close to women, he is gentle and polite to any woman. He is almost unique in being so openly and secretly sarcastic like now.
Ye Qinglan's performance was also very unexpected. She is usually gentle and gentle, doesn't talk much, and is a quiet, gentle, intelligent and pleasant girl. But what happened today?
Thinking of Ye Qinglan's sudden farewell, an idea suddenly came to Mrs. Zheng's mind. Could it be that Ye Qinglan's insistence on leaving had something to do with Gu Xinian?
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of any relationship between the two...
On this side, the back and forth between Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian has initially come to an end.
Ye Qinglan stopped looking at Gu Xinian, smiled and said goodbye for the last time, and then got into the carriage with Gu Xiyu's tearful eyes.
The moment the carriage drove away, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but lift the curtain and waved goodbye to Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu watched the carriage go further and further away until it disappeared, with tears falling down her eyes.
Mrs. Zheng tried to coax her a little, but it was of no use at all. She gave Gu Xinian a helpless look.
Gu Xinian stepped forward and coaxed in a low voice: "Yu'er, don't cry. She is just a guest in our house and has to go back. If you want to see her in the future, there will be many opportunities."
Of course, these were words to make Gu Xiyu happy. In fact, he had made up his mind to stop Ye Qinglan from meeting Gu Xiyu again in the future. That girl seemed gentle and cute, but she was actually very cunning and scheming. Her origins were even more mysterious.
She doesn't even know where her innocent and innocent sister will be her rival, or when she will be deceived and sold out.
Gu Xiyu angrily wiped her tears with her sleeves and accused: "It's all you. If it weren't for you, Cousin Lan wouldn't have left!"
Mrs. Zheng's expression changed and she looked straight over.
Gu Xinian never expected that Gu Xiyu would suddenly say such a thing. He couldn't hide it for a moment, and smiled slightly awkwardly: "How can this happen? Cousin Lan and I get along very well, why would I miss her?"
Let’s go.” Before Gu Xiyu could speak, she changed the subject again: “By the way, there’s nothing to do anyway, how about I accompany you to paint?”
Gu Xiyu was not in the mood to paint at the moment and turned her head away unhappily.
Gu Xinian was worried that she would reveal some clues in front of Mrs. Zheng, so he took her back to Lengyue Pavilion with half coaxing and half persuading.
Mrs. Zheng slowly followed the two brothers and sisters, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes were deep. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
