Ye Qinglan sat upright in the carriage without raising her eyelids.
The carriage was moving very slowly, and several maids saw the slender figure standing not far away through the slits in the bamboo curtain.
"Miss, it's Mr. Gu..." Ruixue reminded softly.
Ye Qinglan hummed casually, but didn't even look outside. Her expression was indifferent and calm. Seeing her reaction, Rui Xue was so sensible that she stopped talking.
Hong Luan usually doesn't talk much, but Ying'er is smart and knowledgeable, so naturally she doesn't talk much.
But Guiyuan couldn't help it anymore and murmured in a low voice: "Miss, you have always been magnanimous and magnanimous. Why are you really competing with Mr. Gu this time..."
When the two of them were arguing, they were outside the main hall. Although they didn't hear everything, they heard about ten percent of it. Several maids were shocked. Have they ever seen a gentle and calm young lady lose her temper like this?
Ye Qinglan interrupted Guiyuan calmly: "Have you packed your things? Think about whether there is anything missing?"
Of course there is nothing missing! Just as Guiyuan was about to answer, she saw Ruixue winking at her repeatedly. Silly girl, the lady is telling you to shut up, why didn't you even wink at her?
Although Guiyuan was more honest, she was not stupid either, so she immediately stopped talking.
The carriage became quiet again, and only the creaking of the wooden wheels could be heard. Soon, the slender figure was thrown far behind the carriage.
Ye Qinglan never had any airs, and she was always talking and laughing with the maids. But today, she was obviously not in the mood to talk, and the maids naturally did not dare to talk. Just like that, the whole journey was silent and dull, until they reached the door of Changyuan Uncle's Mansion.
As soon as she got off the carriage, the usual smile appeared on Ye Qinglan's face, as if she was still the gentle, quiet and pleasant Miss Ten. Several maids had just seen her angry look, and they really couldn't get used to it.
Ye Qinglan first went to Changhe Hall to pay his respects to Mr. Jiang.
It was almost evening, and Mrs. Jiang was preparing to have a meal. When she heard that Ye Qinglan had come to pay her respects, she couldn't help but be startled. It was strange, wasn't she a guest at Dingguo's mansion? Why did she come back without any warning?!
Although he didn't have a good impression of Ye Qinglan, he still had to work hard on the scene. After Jiang met Ye Qinglan, he asked a few questions about the situation in Dingguo's mansion as usual. Ye Qinglan only picked out the good things to say.
Jiang asked casually: "Why did you come back suddenly? Why didn't you send a letter back before?"
Ye Qinglan smiled respectfully and said: "Actually, I have wanted to come back for a long time. It's just that cousin Xiyu kept asking me to stay. Because she was not sure, she didn't send a letter back. This made my grandmother worried."
In fact, this cheap grandmother didn't care at all about why she suddenly came back. Asking these questions was just a pretentious talk. As long as she found an excuse to get over it, I'm sure Jiang wouldn't ask any more questions.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang nodded casually and said, "Your grandfather won't be back for dinner tonight. You can come over early tomorrow to pay his respects!" He didn't mention leaving dinner at all.
Ye Qinglan resigned with a smile.
After leaving Changhetang, the second stop is of course Luomeiyuan.
After entering Luomei Courtyard, a maid went to report. After a moment, a familiar figure hurriedly came out and hugged her with a joyful expression: "Ten sisters, you are finally willing to come back."
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart and smiled and hugged Ye Qingning. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingning was also in Luomeiyuan, which was a small surprise.
Ye Qingning let go of Ye Qinglan and looked at Ye Qinglan up and down: "Hurry up and see if you have lost weight or gained weight these days. If cousin Xiyu treats you badly, I will settle the score with her."
Ye Qinglan was amused and joked half-truthfully: "Cousin Xiyu has nothing to say about her kindness to me. There is someone else who makes me angry. How about Sixth Sister going to seek justice for me?"
Ye Qingning never thought that she was referring to Gu Xinian, so he agreed boldly: "Okay! Tell me who made you angry, and I will go to Dingguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow to vent your anger."
"It's Cousin Gu." Ye Qinglan threw a bomb easily.
Ye Qingning was startled and responded subconsciously: "Stop talking nonsense." The gentle and elegant Fourth Young Master Gu is almost a model of noble princes in the capital. How could he provoke the Tenth Sister!
Ye Qinglan shrugged and said with a smile: "I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe it. Then there's nothing I can do." Don't always blame yourself for hiding something from her in the future!
Ye Qingning didn't believe it at all, but when he saw Ye Qinglan's appearance, he hesitated again. He wanted to ask for a closer explanation, but right now and here was not a good opportunity to talk. It would be better to wait until he has time in the future and then torture him slowly.
"You came back just in time." Ye Qingning smiled and changed the subject: "There are fresh seabass in the house today. My mother made steamed seabass. You are in for a treat."
Ye Qinglan smiled and went with Ye Qingning to see Mr. Zheng.
Zheng was also a little surprised by Ye Qinglan's sudden return, and asked tentatively: "Why did you come back after only staying for more than a month? I didn't even say hello before coming back."
Ye Qinglan thought of a countermeasure on the way and responded honestly: "Don't blame me, auntie. In fact, the reason why I came back this time was because I had a quarrel with cousin Gu..."
What? Zheng was shocked: "What did you say? How could you and Xinian... have a quarrel?"
In fact, talking about a quarrel is an understatement. She and Gu Xinian had a big quarrel today, and I'm afraid it had already spread throughout the Dingguo Palace, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. Instead of Zheng finding out from others in the future,
In this matter, it is better to take the initiative to "explain and confess", which will gain some initiative.
"This is what happened. Two days ago, the Queen's birthday was celebrated, and I accompanied my cousin Xiyu into the palace. As a result, in the Queen's Fengyi Palace, I accidentally met Mr. Shen from the Mighty General's Mansion..."
Ye Qinglan explained the whole incident in the most concise and clear words. Of course, some key parts will be omitted: "... Mr. Shen fell in love with cousin Xiyu at first sight, and he even went to the Dingguo Duke's mansion today. I saw him
Sitting alone was pitiful, so I chatted with him for a few words. Unexpectedly, cousin Gu saw him and he was very angry. As soon as Mr. Shen left, he got angry at me..."
These words are really clever. They seem vague, but who is Zheng? After a quick inference in his mind, he can naturally guess the key point of the whole thing.
Shen Changan was interested in Gu Xiyu, but Mrs. Zheng, Gu Xinian and others were not satisfied with him. That's why they deliberately ignored him. Ye Qinglan just said a few words to Shen Changan, and she was also affected. That's enough.
It can be seen that Gu Xinian is disgusted with Shen Changan.
What Zheng was thinking about at this moment was exactly the effect of Ye Qinglan's clever words.
In fact, although the quarrel between her and Gu Xinian started because of Shen Changan, upon closer inspection, it had nothing to do with Shen Changan. From the day the two met, they were wary of, suspicious of, and distrustful of each other. Now the two of them have
They both know part of each other's secrets, and they all have the handle in each other's hands. As long as they don't interfere with each other, they can live in peace.
But Gu Xinian always acted condescending and domineering, which really made people angry. Little by little unhappiness slowly accumulated in his heart, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded. Shen Changan's matter could only be regarded as a trigger.
However, these secrets cannot be known to Zheng and Ye Qingning. Therefore, it is necessary to be vague, and it is natural to deliberately lead them to think wrong.
Now it seems that the effect is quite good.
Zheng frowned and said unhappily: "It's true Xinian, even if I don't want to see Shen Chang'an, I shouldn't be angry with you! It's just a few words, as for being so angry?" It seemed that Ye Qinglan came back so suddenly because she was so angry with Gu Xinian that she had to go home.
Even though Ye Qinglan is a concubine of a certain status, she is still her niece. She has suffered from idleness in the Dingguo Palace, and her face as an eldest aunt has no luster!
Ye Qinglan's eyes reddened just right, and then she forced out a strong smile: "Don't worry, aunt, I haven't suffered much grievance."
How weird! Ye Qingning felt bad when she saw Ye Qinglan forcing a smile. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but it was about Gu Xinian, so her throat seemed to be blocked by something. I can't say a word...
Mrs. Zheng had a rare feeling of pity, and said gently and comfortingly: "Okay, now that I'm back, let's not mention these things. From now on, I can live in peace in the mansion and spend more time with your sixth sister. From now on, Duke Dingguo will If someone comes to invite you again, I will do it for you."
This is what I've been waiting for!
Ye Qinglan was overjoyed and smiled with emotion and gratitude on her face: "Thank you, auntie." Pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful is her specialty. Little white flowers and so on, the effect is simply too good!
Ye Qingning's eyes were very complicated, and he looked at Ye Qinglan without hesitating to speak.
Ye Qinglan returned a comforting look. When Gu Xinian was involved, it was inevitable for Ye Qingning to have such a reaction.
When Ye Qingning saw that Ye Qinglan didn't mind at all and came to comfort him, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He lowered his head unconsciously and avoided Ye Qinglan's eyes.
At this moment, familiar footsteps sounded at the door. When I looked up, it was Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan who were holding Sister Qiao over.
Ye Qinglan stepped forward to say hello with a busy smile.
Cui Wan was surprised and happy when she saw Ye Qinglan. She held Ye Qinglan's hand with a smile, looked at her a few times and joked: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I have grown taller and my face looks much better."
Of course. In the past six months, I have eaten well and slept well every day. It is right to make this weak little body fatter and taller. As for the rosy complexion, it is because of the paleness and weakness when I was pretending to be sick. .
Sister Qiao has a very good memory. After not seeing Ye Qinglan for so long, she immediately recognized who she was and shouted "Cuckoo hug" happily.
Ye Qinglan hugged Sister Qiao with a smile and kissed her soft little face.
Sure enough, it’s best to live in your own home! She will never go to the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion again in the future, and those who care about the Fourth Young Master, just step aside!
