But there was no movement or reaction from all parties, and they allowed Shen Changan to make such a fuss every day. This in itself was not normal.
Sun made it clear that she was on the side of Empress Gu and the Prince, and strongly supported the marriage. Gu Xiuhe, the Duke of Dingguo, also tended to this. Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian were opposed, and Gu Hong's position was not very firm. So After all, Shen Changan has quite an advantage. If I guess correctly, Gu Xinian suddenly entered the court as an official, which should be closely related to this matter...
Various thoughts kept flashing through Ye Qinglan's mind, and in the end, they settled on the scene where Gu Xiyu sighed with tears in her eyes. She said that she actually liked Shen Changan a little bit.
This answer was actually expected. I just didn't expect that Gu Xiyu would actually have the courage to say it.
Since Gu Xiyu has a slight affection for Shen Changan, should she find a way to bring them together?
Ye Qinglan hesitated for a long time, but couldn't make up her mind. If she really did this, the shrewd Gu Xinian would undoubtedly notice it. It would be strange if Gu Xinian didn't get furious. She had already made up her mind to leave Gu. Xinian stayed far away and never had any interaction with him again. If he interfered with Gu Xiyu's life-long affairs, it would be tantamount to setting himself on fire, and it was really unwise behavior.
But, could she bear to ignore Gu Xiyu?
It was so confusing... Ye Qinglan had a headache thinking about it, so she simply stopped thinking about it, closed her eyes and fell asleep. The boat would naturally straighten up when it reached the bridge, so we should wait until later to talk about these troublesome things!
Gu Xiyu had the habit of recognizing her bed, and could not sleep well in a strange environment. She woke up early the next morning. Seeing that Ye Qinglan was sleeping soundly, she was afraid that the slightest movement would wake her up, so she maintained the same position as when she woke up. He lay there motionless. He didn't even move a finger.
When Ye Qinglan opened her eyes, what she saw was Gu Xiyu's stiff body and expression.
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then realized it. She was both amused and distressed, and said angrily: "Since you're awake, just get up. It must be uncomfortable to lie upright like this."
After she said this, Gu Xiyu realized that her arms and legs were sore and numb, and she couldn't even sit up straight.
Ye Qinglan looked at her innocent look, sighed helplessly, and rubbed her arms and legs for her. After the soreness and numbness passed, Gu Xiyu finally had the strength to get up and get dressed.
Mo Xiang and Ruixue heard something moving in the house. They hurriedly entered the house and served their masters to dress and freshen up. As soon as they finished packing, Ye Qingning came.
Gu Xiyu had never been talkative, but she was better in front of Ye Qinglan. She basically kept silent when facing others. She only glanced at Ye Qingning and said hello.
Ye Qingning rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, but he couldn't argue with her. The three of them went to Luomei Courtyard together. Zheng had already prepared breakfast, and Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan came soon. After everyone had breakfast, they went together. Changhetang paid greetings to Mr. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang had received the news early and was not surprised when she saw Gu Xiyu. She acted like an amiable elder and said kindly: "It's rare for you to come to our house. Please stay longer this time before going back."
Gu Xiyu was an honest child and couldn't tell the polite words. She responded politely: "That's what I planned too!" After saying that, she glanced at Ye Qinglan with an expression asking for praise.
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Jiang was choked, coughed and laughed: "That's it. That's the best. If you need anything, just open your mouth and say it."
Gu Xiyu thanked her politely. She felt that she had performed very well today and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan again. Her eyes were full of anticipation for praise. Ye Qinglan suppressed her laughter and nodded at her with a smile.
Gu Xiyu smiled, her eyes sparkling and so cute.
After a while, Mrs. Li came over with Ye Qingrou. Seeing Gu Xiyu, Ye Qingrou thought of something and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Gu Xiyu was so scared by Ye Qingrou that she asked Ye Qinglan in a low voice: "Cousin Lan, why does she keep looking at me?"
Ye Qinglan thought about it for a moment, then thought of the reason, and suddenly burst into laughter. But it was not convenient to say anything in front of so many people, so she responded in a vague low voice: "Maybe she wants to make friends with you."
Making friends? Gu Xiyu glanced at Ye Qingrou, who smiled with unusual enthusiasm, and turned her head to the side uninterested. She didn't want to be friends with this girl who smiled with false enthusiasm!
Jiang chatted for a while and then asked Cui Wan: "Aunt Cui, is the fetal image still stable these days?"
Cui Wan responded respectfully: "It's pretty stable, but I have severe morning sickness."
Mrs. Jiang said nonchalantly: "Not all women are like this when they are pregnant." After a pause, she added: "Aunt Cui is young and it is her first child. She may not be able to take care of herself. I have two children here.
An experienced nanny will be sent to Qinfang Garden later."
Cui Wan was startled and glanced at Zheng subconsciously.
A sneer flashed quickly in Zheng's eyes. Who could not see Jiang's thoughts? Apparently he sent someone to take care of Cui Jing, but actually he wanted to put someone in Qinfang Garden. Isn't it true?
Wan was obviously aware of this, but she just didn't dare to say goodbye to the elder's gift.
"You don't have to trouble mother-in-law with this little thing." Ms. Zheng opened her mouth and said with a smile: "I have selected a few stable and experienced housekeepers and sent them to Qinfangyuan. With a few of them here, I'm sure I can take care of Aunt Cui.
Take good care of me.”
Jiang's eyes dimmed, but she smiled calmly: "In that case, I'm relieved. If Aunt Cui is carrying a baby boy, he will be the eldest great-grandson of our Uncle Changyuan Mansion.
On weekdays, you have to take careful care of your food, clothing, and daily life.”
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "My mother-in-law said yes. My daughter-in-law will definitely pay attention to everything."
Just a few words about pretending to be a snake, and the matter was dismissed without mentioning it.
Ever since the Jiang Ying incident, the relationship between the Jiang family and everyone in the eldest house has been very delicate. On the surface, they are polite, but in fact, they have been communicating openly and covertly. Taking advantage of the convenience of their status, Jiang family often gives everyone a
Tian Tiandu. Although she is not a direct biological mother-in-law, she is a serious elder after all. She has gone to great lengths to find problems, which is indeed a headache. Fortunately, Zheng's skills are experienced and she can often deal with it while talking and laughing. Otherwise,
The fixed morning and evening routine every day is really a headache.
At such a time, even Ye Qingning refused to say a word, and Ye Qinglan became more cautious. Say more and make more mistakes. If Jiang is caught and slapped with pigtails, no one can protect him.
Zheng didn't have the heart to live with her. Ye Qingning had the heart but didn't have the power.
I wanted to live a quiet and stable life, so I just pretended not to understand anything. I stood there for half an hour with my eyes, nose, nose and heart in mind, and it was over after a while.
Gu Xiyu didn't like to talk at all, so she always kept silent.
After leaving Changhe Hall, Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu, let me take you for a walk in the garden!" With Gu Xiyu's temperament, even if she has been to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion,
It is absolutely impossible to wander around in this leisurely mood.
Gu Xiyu happily agreed. Together with Ye Qingning and their respective maids, the momentum was quite large.
"Wait," a delicate girl's voice panted.
Ye Qinglan and others stopped and looked over together. Ye Qingrou quickly chased after her, raising a pleasant smile: "Are you going to go for a walk in the garden? I will go with you."
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. They are cousins and it's hard to refuse anyone.
Gu Xiyu remained silent, but Ye Qingning was impatient to respond. Ye Qinglan had no choice but to respond with a smile: "My eighth cousin is also willing to come, so naturally it couldn't be better."
Ye Qingrou pursed her lips and smiled, intentionally or unintentionally pushing Ye Qinglan away and walking beside Gu Xiyu.
Most of the paths in the garden are paved with stones. It is just right for two people to walk abreast, but it is a bit crowded for three people to walk abreast. Ye Qingrou squeezed forward, and Ye Qinglan had to step back slightly and walk abreast with Ye Qingning.
Gu Xiyu felt very unhappy, but didn't know what to say, and her pretty face tensed up unconsciously.
Ye Qingrou didn't realize that she was being disliked, and smiled enthusiastically: "Cousin Xiyu, it's rare for you to be a guest in my house. Remember to come and play with me when you have time."
Gu Xiyu glanced at her with dark eyes, expressionless.
Ye Qingrou's smile was a little stiff, but she was unwilling to give up. She continued to talk shamelessly. However, Gu Xiyu refused to respond to her ten sentences. Talking to herself was really boring.
What did Ye Qingrou want to do? Ye Qingning frowned and glared at Ye Qingrou, then looked at Ye Qinglan questioningly.
Ye Qinglan guessed Ye Qingrou's thoughts, but being so close was not suitable for whispering, so she could only wink at Ye Qingning and purse her lips.
This code is too complicated! Ye Qingning was confused.
However, the mystery was soon solved.
Ye Qingrou went around in a big circle and finally brought the topic to Gu Xinian: "...Cousin Xiyu, will Cousin Gu come to see you?"
Ye Qingning pursed her lips tightly, and her cold eyes flew over like knives. Humph, showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft. This sentence is absolutely true. No wonder Ye Qingrou clings to Gu Xiyu eagerly, trying to trick her feelings.
Ask about Gu Xinian.
Gu Xiyu had never had a good impression of women who coveted her brother, so she replied coldly: "Brother said he would come see me when he is free. But what does this have to do with you?"
...
Ye Qingrou's face suddenly turned red, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. However, Ye Qingning was still sarcastic: "It's really weird, when did the eighth cousin become so familiar with my cousin?" She deliberately added "my cousin"
"Brother" bit him hard.
Ye Qingrou was annoyed and ashamed, but she couldn't fight back. She felt suffocated in her heart, not to mention how uncomfortable she was.
"Miss," Jade hurried over with a happy face: "The young master is here to see you."
