The young masters and ladies who are direct descendants will probably never understand this kind of sadness and pain.
Ye Qinglan comforted her softly: "This is all in the past. It's useless to think about it. Aren't you living a good life now?"
Cui Yu cheered up and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention this in front of you." He had never mentioned these words deep in his heart to anyone. But in front of Ye Qinglan, he said it naturally
At this moment, he realized that he had lost his composure.
Fortunately, Ye Qinglan didn't mean to make fun of her, and her attitude was even gentler than before: "It doesn't matter, I actually understand what you said. My biological mother was my father's maid, who was later adopted as a concubine.
When I was five years old, she also 'died' of illness."
They were both concubines, and the same situation quickly narrowed the distance between them.
Cui Yu looked at Ye Qinglan with pity: "You must have had a very hard life." Although they were both born as a concubine, he was the only man in the family after all, and his parents valued him. The treatment he enjoyed was similar to that of a direct descendant. And Ye Qinglan's
The situation is probably much worse than his...
Ye Qinglan smiled casually.
The life of the original owner was not only hard, it could be described as miserable. Her biological brother developed dark and twisted thoughts, her fiancé died unexpectedly, and she became infamous. In the end, she was introverted and cowardly and had no choice but to end herself.
The way of life is the most passive resistance. Even rebirth cannot change the bleak fate, and he still died young. If her ghost had not entered this body, this body would have long been buried in the ground and turned into withered bones!
However, there is no need to tell Cui Yu about these things.
"Brother Cui Shi, my cousin is talking to her aunt, you should go and see her." Ye Qinglan reminded with a smile.
Only then did Cui Yu realize how quickly time passed. Unknowingly, the two of them had stood in front of the pavilion for a long time. Their legs were feeling a little sore.
"You can go there too!" Cui Yu said a little shyly, quickly glancing at Ye Qinglan.
After the conversation just now, the two became more familiar with each other than before, and Cui Yu finally no longer stuttered when speaking.
Ye Qinglan wanted to decline politely, but looking at Cui Yu's expectant eyes, her heart moved quietly. She nodded in agreement. Although she had no special affection for Cui Yu, it seemed that Cui Yu was still a cute boy.
Maybe after getting along for a long time, feelings will develop...
This subtle movement made Cui Yu's eyes light up and his face flushed with excitement. He began to talk again: "Ten sisters first, please first."
Ye Qinglan held back her laughter and led Ruixue and Guiyuan back. Cui Yu was very polite and did not get too close.
When they arrived at He's courtyard, Ye Qinglan and Cui Yu stopped at the same time. They waited for the maid to pass the news before entering the side hall together.
I don't know what the mother and daughter said before, but Cui Wan's eyes were slightly red. He's face didn't look good either.
Cui Yu had an upright temperament and couldn't hold back his words. He asked bluntly: "Sister, does my brother-in-law really want to take a concubine?"
Cui Wan squeezed out a smile on her pale face: "You can't blame him. It's all because of my dissatisfaction. For five years, I haven't been able to do anything for the Ye family. He is also the eldest grandson, so he has to
Pass on the incense to the Ye family."
These words coming out of Cui Wan's mouth make people even more sad and sad.
Cui Yu clenched his fists hard and suppressed his anger: "That's too much! I'm going to settle the score with him right now!"
"Nonsense!" He frowned and glared at Cui Yu: "Sit down!"
Cui Yu always respected his aunt, and although he was full of anger, he did not dare to disobey her order and sat down next to Cui Wan.
Ye Qinglan was a little embarrassed. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, everyone here was from the Cui family, and it was really inconvenient for her, an outsider with the surname Ye, to express any opinions.
Fortunately, Cui Wan came to her rescue in time: "Ten sisters, come and sit down too! This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel embarrassed."
Ye Qinglan smiled and sat down silently. No matter what, she was not going to interrupt next.
In fact, there was no chance to interrupt.
Cui Yu looked at Cui Wan, his eyes full of pity and distress: "Sister, have you agreed to your brother-in-law's taking a concubine?" Logically speaking, taking a concubine must be approved by the main wife.
Cui Wan smiled a little reluctantly: "Yeah." Everyone pressed forward step by step, and there was no room for her to disagree.
When Cui Yu saw Cui Wan like this, his heart felt heavy and uncomfortable.
Instead, Cui Wan comforted him: "Fortunately, my mother-in-law was reasonable and allowed me to come back to discuss the matter with my mother." With Zheng's support, at least she had the initiative in choosing the concubine.
Cui Yu was startled at first, then understood and fell silent for a while. Although he was simple, he was a boy who grew up in a noble family, and he knew some things more or less. Judging from the current situation, this was already
The best solution.
I just don’t know who else’s innocent girl will be sent to Ye Yuanwei to be a concubine...
He and Cui Wan exchanged glances and avoided the topic with a tacit understanding. They just told Cui Yu lightly: "Yu'er, you don't have to worry about this matter. When I see your brother-in-law in the future, don't say anything. Listen.
Are you here yet?”
Cui Yu has always been obedient, but this time he said back: "Why can't you say more? Brother-in-law, I'm sorry to my eldest sister, but I can't even say a word? What's the point!" It was rare for him to become stubborn.
He's face tightened, and she was about to say a few words, but after thinking about it, her attitude softened again. No matter what, Cui Yu reacted like this because she felt sorry for her sister. In fact, she didn't feel sorry for herself.
's daughter?
However, when the matter has reached this point, it can only be solved in this way...
Seeing Cui Yu's reaction, Cui Wan felt warm in her heart and said softly: "Second brother, I know you feel sorry for me. However, mother is right. If you are really doing it for my own good, what will happen when I meet your brother-in-law in the future?
Don't say that either." Otherwise, if Ye Yuanwei loses face and feels unhappy if he offends her, she will still be hurt.
Although Cui Yu was a little dull and confused about worldly affairs, he had a very smart mind. After thinking about it for a while, he understood. He only felt very aggrieved and sad, but he didn't know how to comfort Cui Wan.
Cui Wan took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "I've been back for so long, it's time to go back."
He was reluctant to stay: "It's rare to come back once, so let's have dinner before leaving! Your father hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't seen you yet!"
Cui Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head: "No, I'd better go back first. It's not okay for Sister Qiao to have no one to take care of her." Moreover, Mrs. Zheng must be waiting for her reply.
Mrs. He understood what Cui Wan was thinking, so she could only sigh and stood up to see Cui Wan off. Ye Qinglan also stood up quickly.
Cui Yu suddenly said: "Sister, I will take you back."
Cui Wan was about to politely refuse, but when she saw Cui Yu's eyes drifting towards Ye Qinglan, she suddenly realized. Even though she was in a bad mood, she also had the urge to laugh.
He also saw Cui Yu's little thoughts clearly, secretly laughed, and said: "That's good, I can feel more relieved if you send me there." After thinking about it, he added: "Send it to Changyuan.
At the door of the uncle's house, you will come back."
Otherwise, with Cui Yu's upright temper, he might not know what he would say when he met Ye Yuanwei after entering the house.
Cui Yu's spirits perked up, and he suddenly felt much better at the thought of being able to ride in the same car with Ye Qinglan.
If it had been a few days ago, Ye Qinglan would have had a headache at Cui Yu's solicitude and approach. But now, after a subtle change in her mentality, she no longer thinks Cui Yu is an eyesore.
Apart from anything else, Cui Yu himself is a very lovable boy. He is eager to learn and motivated, has a good character, and is polite and polite. His dull bookishness also makes people feel cute.
Probably because he noticed that Ye Qinglan glanced at him a few more times, Cui Yu suddenly felt nervous and cramped, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
He walked forward without looking away, but accidentally stepped on a stone and almost fell down. Thanks to Cui Wan's quick eyesight and quick hands, he was able to escape the danger.
…
Cui Wan scolded in a low voice: "You are such a big person, you can't walk safely. What are you thinking!"
But He asked nervously: "Yu'er, your foot is not twisted, right? Does your leg hurt?"
"No, it's nothing. I'm very good." Cui Yu was embarrassed in front of his sweetheart. Not to mention how upset and embarrassed he was, his face turned red and there was a burning sensation behind his ears.
Ye Qinglan had the urge to laugh again and quietly turned her head to the side.
After waiting on the carriage, the heat on Cui Yu's face subsided slightly.
The carriage is very spacious. Ye Qinglan and Cui Wan sit opposite Cui Yu. Even if they stretch their legs longer, they don't have to worry about accidentally touching each other.
Ye Qinglan asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, has the matter been discussed properly?"
She asked in a subtle and tactful way, but Cui Wan understood immediately, with a wry smile on her lips: "It can't be so fast. It will take at least ten and a half days to get the result."
There are not many people in the Cui clan, but if they want to be sent to Changyuan Bofu to be concubines, even those who are in a slightly better situation will not be willing. They can only find a girl from the relatives of the side clan. She must be of the right age and have beautiful appearance.
, you also need to find someone who is gentle and easy to handle and is willing to be a concubine. In this way, the total number of zeros and zeros will be calculated, but it is really not easy to find.
He promised to confirm the candidate as soon as possible and then send a letter to the Changyuan uncle's house. But Cui Wan felt very uncomfortable when she thought of Jiang's grandniece. She always had a vague feeling that things would not go so smoothly...
Seeing Cui Wan's frown, Ye Qinglan naturally guessed what was on her mind. She comforted her in a low voice, "Don't worry, cousin. With my eldest aunt here, there is no way that Jiang Ying can enter the house."
I hope so!
Cui Wan forced a smile.
Cui Yu heard a name with sharp ears, frowned and asked: "Sister, who is this Jiang Ying?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support
