The moment the carriage stopped at the gate of Uncle Changyuan's Mansion, Ye Qinglan's chaotic mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
Although she didn't live in Changyuan's Mansion for long, this was her home after all. After being away for so long, she realized that she missed it when she came back.
Although there are still many dangers and unknown hesitations on the road ahead, Ye Qinglan clearly knows that she will live well. She must change the life of the original owner and live a happy and peaceful life.
To achieve this goal, it will naturally require a lot of effort. From this moment on, she must carefully plan to resolve the upcoming crisis...
"Miss, go and pay your respects to the old lady first!" Ruixue hinted in a low voice. Ever since she got off the carriage and entered the house, the lady seemed to be absent-minded and didn't know what she was thinking about.
Ye Qinglan composed herself, nodded with a smile, and went to Changhe Hall to pay respects to Mr. Jiang.
Coincidentally, the second aunt Li and Ye Qingrou were also there. I didn’t know what they were talking about before, and the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed. After Ye Qinglan entered, Li immediately stopped talking, looked at Ye Qinglan with a smile, and joked: "Oh,
Look at Sister Lan, she looks much better than before after living in Duke Dingguo's mansion for so many days. No wonder she has been reluctant to come back!"
Her originally thin body seemed to have gained a little weight, and her pointed face also gained some flesh. Her skin was smooth and white, and her eyes were bright and charming. She was an out-and-out beauty.
Li's two sentences may sound like nothing at first, but if you think about it carefully, you can feel something else. They are obviously secretly mocking Ye Qinglan for clinging to the powerful and enjoying being a guest in someone else's house rather than thinking about Shu.
Jiang's eyes flashed and he gave a faint hum.
Ye Qinglan responded with a busy smile: "My second aunt said that, I am really ashamed. In fact, I have always wanted to come back earlier. It was only because my aunt kept asking me to stay, so I stayed a few more days. I just kept thinking about my grandparents, so this
That’s why I insisted on coming back.”
Mrs. Li covered her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled: "You girl, you are really good at talking. No wonder my sister-in-law and his wife, Duke Dingguo, like you so much!" She said with a gun and a stick.
Ye Qinglan could only continue to laugh, but she was secretly rolling her eyes.
Among the three sisters-in-law, Mrs. Xue is narrow-minded and has to spend money, while Mrs. Zheng is very scheming and has a lot of money. This Li family is not very popular. Let's talk about the city, there is a bit of it, but it is a bit superficial. For such a
It is really unbecoming of an elder to keep an eye on trivial matters.
Forget it. Let her say a few sour words.
Li said a few more words in a strange tone, but seeing Ye Qinglan just laughing along with her, she didn't feel like saying anything more, so she finally stopped talking.
Jiang casually asked Ye Qinglan a few questions about being a guest at Dingguo Duke's Mansion. Seeing that she answered fluently and there was nothing rude about her, she felt relieved: "Okay, you must be tired. Go back and have a good rest first. What do you want to say?
It’s not too late to talk tomorrow.”
Ye Qinglan naturally understood the situation and stood up to leave with a smile.
Ye Qingrou suddenly stood up with a smile and said: "Ten sister, I also want to go back, let's go together!"
Ye Qinglan smiled and agreed, but her heart moved quietly. The relationship between Ye Qinglan and her was just a nod, not a deep sisterly relationship. Now that she was going with her specifically, she must have something to say to her.
…
Sure enough, as soon as she left Changhe Hall, Ye Qingrou asked in a low voice: "You have been living in Dingguogong's mansion these days. Have you ever met or talked to Cousin Gu?"
Ye Qinglan secretly laughed in her heart, a girl's heart is really fickle. A few days ago, Ye Qingrou was lamenting about Zheng Junyan, but now she is paying attention to Gu Xinian again.
"We've met a few times, but we haven't said anything." Ye Qinglan responded lightly: "Cousin Gu is very busy every day, so he doesn't have time to pay attention to me."
In fact, it was just the opposite. Gu Xinian had been paying attention to her every move. Although there was no element of goodwill between men and women, if Ye Qingrou knew about this, it would definitely cause trouble, so it was better not to say anything.
Ye Qingrou didn't have any suspicion after hearing this. In her eyes, although Ye Qinglan was pretty good-looking, Gu Xinian was such a romantic figure, how could he fall in love with such a sick and concubine.
"You should know something about him, right?" Ye Qingrou asked tentatively.
Ye Qinglan laughed casually and said: "It's not what I heard from Sixth Sister before. In fact, I have been accompanying Cousin Xiyu these days and have never interacted with Cousin Gu at all. I should have heard about Cousin Xiyu's temperament, right?
!She doesn’t like to talk and never talks about this to me.”
Seeing that he couldn't find out anything from her, Ye Qingrou suddenly lost interest, walked a few steps and casually found an excuse to leave.
Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. While it was still early, she hurriedly went to Luomei Courtyard to pay her respects to Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng was summoning several housekeepers to discuss the matter of Sister Qiao's first birthday party in a few days. She had no time to talk to Ye Qinglan, so she just nodded casually, then turned her head and continued talking to the housekeepers.
.
Ye Qinglan had already expected that something like this would happen after she came back, so she didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Mrs. Zheng was probably still angry with her because of what happened at Ciyun Temple last time, so it would be easy for her to show off her face. If Ms. Zheng just talked to her casually, she would really start to worry. Then
This means that Mrs. Zheng will never look at her again, and naturally she is too lazy to argue with her. Now that she is willing to punish her, at least it means that Mrs. Zheng is not completely disappointed with her.
Ye Qinglan stood aside obediently, listening quietly to Mrs. Zheng talking to the housekeepers.
What could have been explained clearly in a few words, Mrs. Zheng kept talking for a long time. The housekeeper who was familiar with her temperament couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but no one dared to say anything to expose this layer, and she had to cooperate with the acting.
. Pretend to listen carefully and ask one or two questions from time to time so that Mrs. Zheng can talk longer.
Occasionally, someone looked up at Ye Qinglan, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts. Although this lady was also from Changyuanbury, she was far inferior to the dignified Miss Sixth. Look, the lady clearly deliberately prolonged her speech.
Deliberately letting her stand aside and be left out in the cold. It's really pitiful when you think about it...
Ye Qinglan seemed not to notice the sympathetic gazes of everyone, and still stood respectfully.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dusk gradually fell to the west.
Ye Qinglan's legs were numb, and she didn't know how long she could stand for. A rough calculation, it's about an hour. An hour is just two hours. No matter who stands motionless for two hours, I'm afraid
I couldn't hold my breath anymore.
But Ye Qinglan kept standing there with a smile, and the smile on her face was neither more nor less.
Finally, Mrs. Zheng ended her lecture and said calmly: "Okay, you all have taken note of what I told you. If there is even the slightest mistake, I will not be lenient."
The housekeepers responded quickly and then withdrew.
Mrs. Zheng still didn't look at Ye Qinglan. She picked up the tea cup and was about to drink it. Suddenly she frowned and coldly scolded the maid beside her: "This tea has become cold. Why didn't you refill the hot tea in time? What a fool.
You guys who have no eyesight have raised useless things like you in vain!"
The maid's face turned red after being scolded, and tears welled up in her eyes. But she didn't dare to let them fall, so she hurriedly came over with a teapot to refill Zheng's hot tea.
This time, Mrs. Zheng thought the tea was too hot and scolded the maid severely.
Although Zheng's rule was strict on weekdays, such harsh scoldings were rare. The maid who was scolded finally burst into tears after being scolded, and the only sounds of sobbing and choking could be heard in the huge side hall.
What a trick to kill the chicken! Zheng was not scolding this maid, she was basically criticizing Sang and Huai, and it was all directed at her!
Ye Qinglan silently apologized in her heart. This maid was innocently implicated today. She should have been the one standing there and being scolded.
Zheng lost his temper and looked very ugly.
Dong Yan hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Madam, please calm down. It's not worth getting so angry over such a trivial matter. I will give Yan'er a good scolding later, and wait until she learns how to serve tea before letting her come."
Come to my wife."
Zheng finally calmed down a little and glared at Yan'er: "Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Yan'er didn't even dare to wipe away her tears and retreated aggrievedly.
Mrs. Zheng took a few sips of tea slowly, and then looked at Ye Qinglan leisurely: "These ungrateful people must be taught a lesson, so that they can act honestly and behave in a disciplined manner in the future. Sister Lan
Son, do you think so?"
If it were someone with a thin skin, his face would have turned red with embarrassment.
In fact, Ye Qinglan didn't care about such a little humiliation at all. But if she acted too calm and calm, Mrs. Zheng would definitely feel even more unhappy. Therefore, she pretended to be ashamed and knew her mistake, and muttered: "What the eldest aunt said is
, I will keep it in my heart and will never forget it in the future.”
After a pause, he added: "I have a few words that I want to say to my eldest aunt alone, is that okay?"
Mrs. Zheng raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Oh? Is there anything important you have to say to me alone?"
Ye Qinglan bowed her head and responded: "Things related to Sixth Sister."
It's okay not to mention this. When she talked about Ye Qingning, Mrs. Zheng remembered what happened at Ciyun Temple that day, and a burst of anger came out. She stared at Ye Qinglan with a cold look in her eyes: "Okay
, I want to hear what you have to say."
Without waiting for Mrs. Zheng's instructions, Dong Yan winked at the maids in the room. The maids retreated one by one. Dong Yan wanted to stay, but after looking at Mrs. Zheng's face, which was about to be stormed, she said,
I thought it would be better for me to go out as well, so I backed out easily.
Zheng and Ye Qinglan were the only two people left in the huge side hall.
Mrs. Zheng sat firmly on the chair, and Ye Qinglan stood respectfully in front of Mrs. Zheng. The distance between the two was about two meters.
