Under the dim candlelight, Cui Wan's sleeping face was peaceful and peaceful. The brows that had always been a little gloomy also quietly relaxed.
Ye Qinglan was afraid that the slightest movement would wake up Cui Wan, so she carefully lay down next to Cui Wan. Then, she soon fell asleep. However, even in her sleep, Ye Qinglan was very careful to maintain the same position to avoid turning over.
The noise disturbed Cui Wan's sleep.
The result of this was that when Ye Qinglan woke up the next morning, the half of her body on her side was sore and weak, and her arms were sore and numb after being pressed all night. I really can’t mention the feeling!
Ye Qinglan slept uncomfortably and naturally woke up early. However, Cui Wan slept very deeply.
Forget it, it's better not to wake her up, let her sleep for a while. Ye Qinglan got out of bed and dressed, and then tied up her long hair casually. At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door.
Voice.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved, and she hurriedly stepped forward to open the door. Ye Yuanwei's movement of knocking on the door suddenly froze in mid-air, and then watched helplessly as Ye Qinglan walked out and closed the door.
"Good morning, cousin!" Ye Qinglan greeted with a smile.
Ye Yuanwei's smile was a little stiff: "Good morning, tenth cousin!" This was obviously his dormitory, why did he feel like he was shut out?
Ye Qinglan seemed not to notice his slight displeasure, and explained with a smile: "My cousin has been suffering from insomnia these days and can't sleep well at night, so I specially talked to her last night to relieve her boredom. My cousin was probably tired.
Great, I'm sleeping soundly now! My cousin, it's better not to go in, so as not to wake up my cousin-in-law."
Ye Qinglan made it very clear. Everything was for Cui Wan's good. Ye Yuanwei would not get angry over such a trivial matter, so he could only smile and say: "I'm sorry for bothering my tenth cousin."
Ye Qinglan smiled and said, "My cousin is so outspoken when he says this. My cousin is not eating well or sleeping well these days, and I don't like it. That's why I had the audacity to take the initiative to accompany my cousin."
.If my cousin doesn’t mind, I will come here to bother you every day in the next few days!”
What? Will she come again? Still come every day?
Ye Yuanwei felt a faint headache, but looking at his little cousin's flowery smile, he couldn't say no. He could only squeeze out a smile and nodded.
Ye Qinglan seemed not to notice his reluctance, and smiled playfully: "My cousin is busy with Aunt Cui, so he probably doesn't have much time to spend with his sister-in-law. I'll do it for you these days."
…
Is she mocking him? Ye Yuanwei thought uncertainly.
Cui Jing is young and beautiful, with a gentle and considerate temperament, and she became pregnant not long after her marriage. He was happy, so he spent more time with Cui Jing these days. However, he was by no means the kind of person who liked the new and disliked the old. In his heart,
Cui Wan, his wife who has been with him for several years, is still the most important. He is also very aware of Cui Wan's virtuousness and gentleness. Thinking in his heart that Cui Jing is her cousin and the concubine who was personally selected by Cui Mansion to marry and give birth to children, Cui Wan
President Wan is not jealous of Cui Jing.
But now that I think about it carefully, Cui Wan can't sleep well these days. Is it because Cui Jing is pregnant? Thinking of this, Ye Yuanwei couldn't help but glance at the tightly closed door.
"It's time for my cousin to go to the Yamen for some errands!" Ye Qinglan had been watching the change in Ye Yuanwei's expression with a cold eye. She suddenly smiled.
Ye Yuanwei hummed and glanced at the door again before leaving with a complicated expression.
Ye Qinglan looked at Ye Yuanwei's leaving figure and kept thinking about it. Judging from Ye Yuanwei's reaction, it was obvious that he still cared about Cui Wan. However, men and women are always different. What women crave is the wholehearted tenderness and consideration of their husbands.
, while a man hugs her left and right, he feels that it is enough that he is still thinking about his wife.
In the final analysis, what is really to blame is the evil marriage system of the feudal era. Why should a woman stay forever while a man can have three wives and four concubines? Why should he take concubines if he cannot give birth to a son? Cui Wan is indeed innocent and pitiful
.But what’s wrong with Cui Jing? She’s just another poor woman!
Ye Qinglan sighed quietly and shook away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
Chao Yun walked over and asked in a low voice: "Miss Ten, it's getting late. Shouldn't it be time to wake up the young mistress? Otherwise, it will be too late to give my wife an encore..."
"Stop shouting." Ye Qinglan said without thinking: "It's rare for my cousin to have a good night's sleep, so let her sleep peacefully! It's up to you to report to the eldest aunt, saying that the young mistress is not feeling well and cannot go to say hello today.
Already."
Chaoyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
While they were talking, Cui Jing also came over. Probably because of the severe morning sickness in the past two days, Cui Jing's face was a little pale and she was far less energetic than usual.
Cui Jing was not surprised to see Ye Qinglan. Apparently she had learned about Ye Qinglan's stay here from Ye Yuanwei last night. She smiled and greeted Ye Qinglan: "I have met Miss Ten."
The status of concubine is actually a bit embarrassing. In front of the servants, she is the master, but in front of the real master, she suddenly becomes shorter. Although Cui Jing is the concubine of Ye Yuanwei, the eldest daughter-in-law, she still has to bow when she meets the concubine of the third wife.
Say hello.
Ye Qinglan did not hate Cui Jing, and smiled gently: "Aunt Cui is pregnant, so don't be so polite in the future."
Cui Jing smiled and asked naturally: "Have you gotten up, young lady? It's time to go pay my respects to my wife!"
Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "My cousin is feeling unwell today, so I won't go to say hello. Aunt Cui will just go there by herself..." Before she finished speaking, the door suddenly opened with a creak.
I don’t know when Cui Wan woke up. She was standing by the door neatly dressed. Although her face still looked pale and haggard, she was much better than yesterday.
"Cousin, when did you wake up?" Ye Qinglan greeted her with a smile.
Cui Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "As soon as you closed the door, I woke up."
She hadn't slept so sweetly for a long time, and the nightmare that had been haunting her had disappeared. Her whole body felt much more relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been put down. Recalling the scene before going to bed last night, she
But the memory is very vague. I only vaguely remember that Ye Qinglan's eyes were unusually bright, and then I can't remember anything clearly.
What exactly did Ye Qinglan do to her?
Cui Wan felt strange in her heart, but she remembered what Ye Qinglan had solemnly said before. Anyway, since Ye Qinglan didn't want her to ask further questions, she just didn't ask anything.
Thinking of this, Cui Wan greeted Cui Jing as if nothing had happened: "Mother Jing, you are here too."
Cui Jing hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Cui Wan.
Cui Wan smiled and said: "Okay, I told you not to be so polite. You are twins now, so you have to be careful." Her expression was kind and natural, and her tone was even gentler.
Cui Jing smiled and said nothing, naturally she would not take Cui Wan's words seriously. She would still do the same thing the next time they meet.
Ye Qinglan took in the two people's expressions completely and couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart. Sure enough, everyone is a master of acting. Anyone who sees this scene will probably find the harmonious scene of wives and concubines very pleasing to the eye! Who knows the pain in Cui Wan's heart?
, who can know what Cui Jing is thinking in her heart?
The nanny also came over with Sister Qiao in her arms. When Sister Qiao saw Cui Wan, she immediately made a fuss and asked Cui Wan to hug her. She didn't see her mother all day yesterday, and Sister Qiao felt aggrieved, so she put her arms around Cui Wan's neck,
He said in a low voice: "Mom, you are evil! Don't be a clever girl."
Cui Wan had a sore nose and hugged Sister Qiao tightly: "Sister Qiao, you are so good. How could I not want Sister Qiao? Yesterday... Mom was not feeling well, so she didn't accompany you. She will never be like this again.
.”
Sister Qiao is still young and cannot understand so much. With her black and white eyes open, she looks innocent and cute.
Ye Qinglan smiled and reminded: "Sister-in-law, it's time for us to go to Luomei Courtyard."
Cui Wan hummed and led a group of people to Luomeiyuan. She complained of illness yesterday, so Zheng naturally wanted to express some concern today: "Ms. Cui, are you feeling better today?"
Cui Wan and Ye Qinglan exchanged tacit glances and responded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law is much better after a day of rest."
Ms. Zheng looked at Cui Wan for a few times. Cui Wan had not put on makeup today, and her face was pale and thin. However, she was in good spirits. Ms. Zheng thought about it and said, "If you feel unwell, just rest for a while."
I don’t need you to take care of Aunt Cui’s daily life for the time being, just leave it to me. And sister Qiao, let the wet nurse and the mothers in charge take care of her more, so don’t overwork yourself.”
Although what Zheng said was just for the occasion, Cui Wan was still a little moved when she heard it and hurriedly thanked her.
Mrs. Zheng added: "There are still some good ginseng in the warehouse. I will ask Dong Yan to send it to you later. Make some soup to replenish your body. Look, you are so thin now that you are almost out of shape. If outsiders see it,
Yeah, you thought we treated you poorly every weekday."
This is probably Zheng's real voice. She doesn't want to care about what her daughter-in-law is thinking, and she doesn't have the time to care about it. However, she can't overthink it. What will others think in the eyes of outsiders?
Cui Wan looked grateful and ashamed: "It's all my daughter-in-law's fault, so my mother-in-law has to worry about it."
Mrs. Zheng was quite satisfied when she saw that Cui Wan was as meek and respectful as ever. Her expression softened a bit, and she told her to take a good rest. Naturally, she ignored Cui Jing who was standing aside.
On this side, Ye Qingning glared at Ye Qinglan and complained dissatisfiedly: "Ten sisters, why did you go to my sister-in-law's house last night? You didn't even tell me. I sent someone to call you in Hefeng Courtyard.
I know you're not here."
Recently, Ye Qinglan often stays overnight in Huancui Pavilion, and Ye Qingning is used to having her company. Originally, it was okay to be away from time to time, but when he thought of Ye Qinglan going to accompany Cui Wan, Ye Qingning felt a little sour in his heart. So early in the morning
Just waiting for Ye Qinglan here with a pretty face.
Ye Qingning had no choice but to pull her aside and explain a few words in a low voice. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
