Looking at Gu Xiyu's appearance now, how can he still use his last resort methods?
Gu Xinian tightened his lips, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Gu Xiyu didn't understand Gu Xinian's face, so she asked again: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and he said with a little displeasure: "What else can I do, don't think about it." He hasn't figured out how to deal with Shen Changan yet. However, the original plan is natural It's about to be cancelled.
Gu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xinian's thoughts were very confused and he couldn't sort them out for a while. He kept his face solemn and said nothing. Ye Qinglan took advantage of Gu Xinian's frown and thought and glanced at Gu Xiyu.
Cousin Xiyu, you are so good today! Ye Qinglan praised Gu Xiyu with a smile and her eyes.
Gu Xiyu was filled with joy after being praised. Is it true? Do you really think what I just said was good?
Ye Qinglan chuckled and nodded. To be honest, she didn't expect Gu Xiyu to speak her heart so smoothly and naturally. These words naturally had a big impact on Gu Xinian, which was evident from Gu Xinian's reaction. As long as Gu Xinian can be persuaded, maybe Shen Changan's road to pursuing his wife will be a little smoother.
From the corner of his eye, Gu Xinian caught sight of the two of them exchanging glances. He finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Yu'er, you are coming back with me today." There were some things that he had to ask her alone.
Gu Xiyu's expression changed and she looked at Ye Qinglan for help. She didn't want to go back so soon.
Ye Qinglan coughed and was about to speak. Gu Xinian's cold voice rang out: "I wonder what cousin Lan has to say?"
Ye Qinglan's expression did not change, and she was extremely calm: "I do have something to say. Please be patient, cousin, and it won't be too late to leave after listening to what I have to say."
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed without even a trace of unnecessary expression on his face: "Okay, I'll just listen to what else you have to say."
It seems that what Gu Xiyu said just now really made him angry! However, he is indeed a famous handsome man. Even with a long face, he is still very handsome. As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a handsome man. Seeing how angry he was, she just had to put a smile on his face for once.
"I know that Cousin Gu must be in a bad mood at this time," Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "Cousin Gu, please calm down and think about it carefully. In fact, only a few of us know what happened today, and others will not know much about it. "But if cousin Xiyu follows you back to Duke Ding's mansion right now, let alone anyone else, auntie will be the first to become suspicious." With Zheng's shrewdness, it will not be difficult to trace the matter as long as she becomes suspicious. The truth. It will be really bad then!
Even if these words were not stated clearly, Gu Xinian could naturally imagine them.
As expected, Gu Xinian frowned and pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing that Gu Xinian was shaken, Ye Qinglan immediately used her sharp tongue to persuade her: "It's better to let cousin Xiyu stay in the house for a few more days before going back! Anyway, Shen Changan will leave the capital tomorrow, and cousin Gu There’s no need to worry. Cousin Xiyu will never leave the house at will again.”
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "If Yu'er is the only one, I really don't have to worry. However, with the smart cousin Lan here, I don't dare to worry. Maybe Yu'er tomorrow morning There's no telling if I'll run to the city gate to see Shen Chang'an off." The last sentence was full of sarcasm.
Even though Ye Qinglan had a strong face, she was a little stunned.
At this moment, Gu Xiyu suddenly said: "Brother, don't worry, I won't go see you off tomorrow."
...He is indeed a simple and innocent child. He didn't even hear the irony.
Gu Xi was neither young nor angry. He looked helplessly at Gu Xiyu and his tone softened unconsciously: "How long do you plan to live in Uncle Changyuan's Mansion?"
Gu Xiyu thought for a while and whispered, "How about staying for another month?" Seeing Gu Xinian frowning, she immediately changed her words: "Then I'll stay for another half month."
Although Gu Xinian was still dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more. He just said lightly: "I will pick you up in half a month."
Gu Xiyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was great, I could finally stay a little longer.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the Zen room. Listening to this movement, it was obvious that more than one person was coming. Then, a cheerful man's voice sounded outside the door: "Xinian!"
It was Ye Yuanwei's voice.
Gu Xinian immediately regained his composure, with a calm and polite smile on his face, as if nothing had happened just now. Ye Qinglan did not hesitate to give in, and walked forward and opened the door with a smile. Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan stood side by side, behind them
Follow Ye Qingning.
Ye Qinglan shouted happily: "Cousin, cousin, why are you here?"
Cui Wan responded with a smile: "I heard from Qing Ning that cousin Gu is also here, so we came here specially." As she spoke, she quietly paid attention to Gu Xinian's expression. Gu Xiyu had just met with Shen Changan in the morning.
, Gu Xinian came in the afternoon...
Gu Xinian calmly took in Cui Wan's reaction.
Ye Qinglan is quite capable. She even roped in Cui Wan as an accomplice. He didn't have much contact with Cui Wan and didn't know her temperament very well. However, he had heard his mother praise Cui Wan several times.
She is said to be gentle, calm and gentle, and she is thoughtful and careful in her words and deeds. Unexpectedly, such Cui Wan was actually persuaded by Ye Qinglan to do such an unreliable thing...
Ye Qingning quietly winked at Ye Qinglan. What happened just now? Nothing happened!
Ye Qinglan quickly responded with a comforting smile. Don't worry, am I fine?
Ye Qingning was slightly relieved and quickly glanced at Gu Xiyu. Seeing that Gu Xiyu's expression was quite peaceful, her heart that had been hanging in the air finally fell back to its original place.
Ye Yuanwei looked at Gu Xinian and joked with a smile: "Other people always look a bit dull when they wear official uniforms. But it will be different when you put it on. If you walk around the capital, you will be fascinated by how much you can do."
Girl."
Gu Xinian has been outstanding in appearance since he was a child, and has long been accustomed to others paying attention to his appearance. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and was not angry: "How can I compare to you? I have a beautiful wife and concubines, and I enjoy all the blessings of others.
"
Ye Yuanwei suddenly smiled uncomfortably and glanced at Cui Wan quickly. Cui Wan behaved very dignifiedly and just smiled softly after hearing this.
Ye Yuanwei felt relieved and a little ashamed. Cui Wan was as virtuous and gentle as ever, but he would never ignore her feelings again. Even the most generous wife would not be happy to hear others mention her husband's concubine!
Thinking like this, Ye Yuanwei immediately changed the subject: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite. Since you are here, why not come with me back home. I will ask the kitchen to make some exquisite side dishes, and the two of us will have a few drinks tonight."
Gu Xinian was about to refuse, but suddenly he changed his mind and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Ye Qinglan's heart immediately set off alarm bells. Based on her understanding of Gu Xinian, he would never let go of Gu Xiyu's meeting with Shen Chang'an this time, and would have to get to the bottom of it. He had always loved Gu Xiyu, He couldn't bear to keep a straight face to his biological sister, so she would only be the one being tortured...
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan, whose smile was gradually fading and his eyes were full of wariness, and he said leisurely: "What's the matter? Cousin Lan doesn't welcome me?"
Ye Qinglan squeezed out a smile and responded hypocritically: "It's nothing, cousin Gu, don't get me wrong. I'm happy that you can be a guest at Uncle Changyuan's Mansion, but it's not too late!"
"Oh? Really?" Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled, with an indescribable grace and charm: "The last time I went to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion, cousin Lan happened to be sick, which made me very disappointed. Fortunately this time Cousin Lan looks very good, she probably won’t be absent again!”
Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth secretly, but the smile on her face became sweeter: "Of course it won't happen. Cousin Gu, just don't worry."
Ye Yuanwei was confused as he listened. It was strange. It was obviously him who invited Gu Xinian to the house for dinner and drinks, wasn't it? Why was Gu Xinian competing with an underage girl?
If he hadn't known Gu Xinian's temper very well, he would have thought that Gu Xinian was interested in Ye Qinglan.
However, this is simply impossible!
Since Shen Qiuyu got married, Gu Xinian has never looked at any woman again. In the past few years, let alone marrying a wife, there is not even a maidservant to serve on the mat and ask for help. He has never gone to the boat to drink. Staying overnight. Someone secretly gave Gu Xinian the nickname "Liu Xiahui" behind his back. Some people even quietly made a bet, saying that Gu Xinian would probably never be tempted by another woman in his life.
How could Gu Xinian like this be interested in an underage girl? He must be thinking too much.
Ye Yuanwei coughed and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go back now!"
Gu Xinian came back to his senses, smiled and nodded.
Before Youshi, the group finally arrived at Changyuan Bofu. Zheng was a little surprised when she saw Gu Xinian, and asked with a smile: "Xinian, how come you and Yuan Wei are together?"
Gu Xinian responded calmly: "After I finished my errands at the government office, I went to Ciyun Temple to see Yu'er. Yuan Wei invited me over, so I came shamelessly. I hope my aunt won't think I'm too intrusive. good."
Mrs. Zheng smiled hurriedly and responded: "I wish you could come here often. There is no need to disturb you. I will instruct the kitchen to cook some good dishes, and you and Yuan Wei will have a good drink tonight."
Having said that, Zheng was so shrewd. After thinking about it carefully, he could see the flaw in Gu Xinian's words.
For example, how did Gu Xinian know that Gu Xiyu was at Ciyun Temple? For another example, even if he wanted to go to Ciyun Temple to see Gu Xiyu, he could have changed into casual clothes before going. Why was he wearing official uniform?
Zheng was thinking secretly in her heart, but her face remained calm. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
