Cui Wan had to greet the female family members, so it was inconvenient to stay longer. After chatting for a while, she led Cui Yu away.
Cui Yu's reluctant glance before leaving made Ye Qingning happy again. A young man like Cui Yu who can't hide his thoughts is really rare.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingning couldn't wait to look at Ye Qinglan. Cui Yu is so infatuated, it's impossible for the tenth sister to remain indifferent!
Facts have proved that there is absolutely no one with such a simple temper as Cui Yu. Ye Qinglan's expression is indifferent, with a smile on her lips, and she has a calm look. How can you tell what is going on in her heart?
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xinian was still there, Ye Qingning would have really wanted to ask a few more questions.
Gu Xinian finally stood up and said goodbye: "Cousin Lan, I will ask the carriage to pick you up tomorrow."
Ye Qinglan nodded lightly, and then watched Gu Xinian leave. This time, if she intervened in the lives of Gu Xiyu and Gu Xinian again, could she escape as easily as last time?
Why did she have a vague premonition that her peaceful days were gone forever?
Of course, in fact, from the first day after time travel, she had no peaceful life at all...
"Thirteenth sister, do you have something to say to me, huh?" Ye Qingning's voice was long and her eyes were a little sinister.
Ye Qinglan coughed and tried to change the subject: "Sixth sister, I have to go back and pack my luggage first..."
"Don't try to change the subject!" Ye Qingning narrowed his eyes and interrupted Ye Qinglan fiercely, with a strong aura: "What on earth is going on what my cousin said just now? What happened at that time? How could you suddenly change your mind?"
The Duke's Mansion is back?" In fact, when Ye Qinglan came back two months ago, she secretly felt strange. It's just that Ye Qinglan was too calm and fooled her in just a few words. Don't expect it to be so easy this time.
!
It’s all Gu Xinian’s fault!
Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth secretly. If he hadn't been too talkative just now, Ye Qingning wouldn't have asked endless questions now. It was so bad that she couldn't even think about perfunctory things. She could only selectively tell the truth.
"Sixth sister, don't be angry! Sit down and have a sip of tea first, and let me explain to you." Ye Qinglan smiled with a smile, and attentively pulled Ye Qingning to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea herself and gave it to Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning had a pretty face. She didn't move at all, and she showed a posture of "Don't even think about leaving until you tell the whole truth."
As soon as she thought of the scene where Gu Xinian was all focused on Ye Qinglan, her heart was filled with jealousy. Even though she knew that this kind of attention had nothing to do with liking, she was extremely envious and jealous. This kind of indescribable
The dark mood she spoke made her tone more impetuous and rude than usual.
Ye Qinglan knew very well how Ye Qingning was feeling at the moment, so naturally she didn't take it to heart. She smiled and explained: "The thing is like this. After I went to Dingguo Gong's Mansion, I stayed with cousin Xiyu every day. Her temperament depends on you.
I also know that she usually doesn't like to talk and is timid. I often encourage her to comfort her, and later her temperament became more cheerful. Cousin Gu was probably worried about Cousin Xiyu, so he asked me what I thought about Cousin Xiyu.
What did I do? No matter how I explained, he refused to believe it, so we had a few quarrels. I simply said goodbye and came back."
These words were true and false, and 90% of them were true. Ye Qinglan cleverly concealed the most critical part.
Ye Qingning was dubious when he heard this: "Is it really that simple? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly and sighed: "You were in a bad mood at that time. If I mentioned Cousin Gu again, wouldn't it make you feel even more uncomfortable?"
After being reminded like this, Ye Qingning also remembered that she was at a time when she was heartbroken and sad. Any news about Gu Xinian would make her uncomfortable...
Ye Qingning was silent for a moment, then said angrily: "Forget it this time, if you hide something like this from me again next time, I won't be really happy."
Passed safely! Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his right hand solemnly and promised: "It won't happen again. I promise this will definitely be the last time."
Ye Qingning was amused. He glared at her deliberately: "This is what you said. If you lie to me again, I will never be friends with you again."
Having been in contact with Ye Qingning for a long time, Ye Qinglan is already very familiar with her temperament and can deal with her easily. Hearing this, he breathed a deliberately exaggerated sigh of relief, looking like he had escaped by chance.
Ye Qingning smiled and spat at her.
After some fun, a small disturbance disappeared without a trace.
At night, when Ye Yuanwei finally entered the bridal chamber, everyone finally calmed down.
Ye Qinglan returned to Hefeng Courtyard and told Ruixue and others to pack their luggage. While packing the jewelry box, Ruixue asked with a smile: "Miss, how long will it take to get back from Dingguo's Mansion this time? Do you need to bring more luggage?"
"
Ye Qinglan smiled casually: "You don't need to bring too much. It will be ready in about ten days." Gu Xinian's appearance today was too sudden. She nodded and agreed before she had time to think about it. Now she has free time.
, naturally we need to think about it carefully.
With Gu Xinian's mind, he didn't want Gu Xiyu to have any contact with her. On Sister Qiao's first birthday, he would rather pretend to be sick than to keep Gu Xiyu in the house, which showed his determination. But this time,
Gu Xinian took the initiative to "invite" her to the Duke Dingguo's mansion...
Something must have happened in the meantime! It's definitely not just Gu Xiyu's request!
But what could happen that made the stubborn and egotistical Gu Xinian change his mind?
Ye Qinglan was puzzled and simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she was going to meet Gu Xiyu tomorrow. What was going on would soon be revealed!
The next morning, Ye Qinglan got up as usual, washed and changed clothes, had breakfast, then went to Huancui Pavilion, and went with Ye Qingning to Luomei Courtyard to pay respects to Mrs. Zheng.
Today, someone arrived earlier than the two of them.
Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan were both there, and there was a woman wearing a pink dress standing next to Cui Wan. This woman was naturally the new concubine Cui Jing.
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning looked over at the same time.
Cui Jing is only fifteen years old, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a temperament somewhat similar to Cui Wan. As expected of the daughter of the Cui family, even if she is a concubine, she is obviously better than Jiang Ying.
Ye Qinglan secretly praised her and couldn't help but glance at Cui Wan. With such a beautiful newcomer coming through, Cui Wan must not be in a good mood at the moment!
Cui Wan felt Ye Qinglan's concerned gaze, her heart warmed, and she nodded invisibly, implying that she was fine. Ye Yuanwei had to take a concubine, and Cui Jing was obviously a better choice than Jiang Ying.
As Ye Qinglan said, since the facts cannot be changed, we can only accept and adapt to this fact as soon as possible.
Mrs. Zheng was obviously very satisfied with Cui Jing. She looked at Cui Jing with a smile and asked kindly: "Is there anything you're not used to?"
Cui Jing responded respectfully: "Thank you, Mrs., for your concern. Everything is fine. There is nothing uncomfortable with my concubine. My cousin... the young lady is also very kind to my concubine."
She is indeed a woman who understands the rules. Mrs. Zheng nodded secretly in her heart. Compared with Jiang Ying who lost her sense of control when someone supported her, Cui Jing is much gentler and calmer.
Logically speaking, when a concubine enters the house, the greeting gift does not need to be too expensive. And she has to take into account Cui Wan's mood. Therefore, the greeting gift prepared by Mrs. Zheng is a pair of jade bracelets of medium to high quality. They are neither shabby nor particularly expensive.
Cui Jing thanked her with a smile and took the jade bracelet with her own hands.
Cui Wan also prepared a meeting gift, which was a set of exquisite head and face jewelry. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this set of jewelry is expensive and suitable for wearing to meet guests.
Cui Jing felt a little anxious and complicated when facing her familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar cousin: "Thank you, young lady."
Cui Wan smiled naturally and kindly: "Don't always thank me. From now on, we will be my sisters. Take good care of your husband's food, clothing and daily life, and conceiving an heir for your husband as soon as possible is the top priority."
Cui Jing blushed slightly and glanced at Ye Yuanwei subconsciously.
Ever since she knew that she was going to be married to the Changyuan Uncle's Mansion as a concubine, she was actually very reluctant. Who among the young girls has not dreamed of marrying her sweetheart in a grand manner on an eight-carriage sedan chair? No matter how nice the Changyuan Uncle's Mansion is,
, she could only be a concubine after she was married, and would have to live under the majesty of the main wife her whole life. Just thinking about it is frustrating and uncomfortable.
But her parents had both accepted the kindness of He, and with He's plea, they could only nod helplessly and agreed to the matter. She finally got married in a state of uneasiness and depression.
But the moment the hijab was lifted, she was immediately filled with joy. The man standing in front of her was so handsome and gentle, he was simply the man in her dreams that she had fantasized about countless times...
Ye Yuanwei didn't seem to notice Cui Jing's gaze, and said to Cui Wan with a smile: "You are very generous. I bought this set of jewelry for you myself." Are you so willing to give it to another woman?
Cui Wan smiled lightly: "If my husband is feeling distressed, you might as well buy me a better one."
Everyone was amused and laughed.
Ye Yuanwei also smiled, but there was a quiet movement in his heart. He suddenly felt sorry for his married wife. Cui Wan did this just to win over and appease the newly married Cui Jing. Perhaps, there was still a little bit of temptation, thinking
Let's see how he reacts!
As the eldest grandson of Uncle Changyuan's Mansion, he is also the heir to the title without hesitation. It is his unavoidable responsibility to pass on the heirs. It is helpless to accept new people. But this does not mean that he will forget the old people when he has new people.
…
Ye Yuanwei stared at Cui Wan and suddenly said: "I will definitely buy you more exquisite and better jewelry in the future." In my heart, no woman can take your place.
Cui Wan heard the meaning of his words and almost burst into tears. In front of everyone, she forced herself to remain calm, smiled and nodded. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
