The third room's position in Changyuan's Mansion has always been a bit awkward. Seeing that the carriage was about to arrive, only a few people came to greet it.
Ye Qingning was the most impatient at such an occasion, but because Ye Qinglan had to show up, she had no choice but to come along - she had to support her no matter what! Lest the mean third aunt bully her when they met.
Ye Qinglan knew her thoughts well and whispered gratefully: "Sixth sister, you don't have to wait here with me. You should go back and rest first! I can handle it alone."
Ye Qingning curled his lips: "The third aunt speaks so harshly, how can you handle it alone?"
Ye Qinglan burst out laughing. She also said that Mrs. Xue was mean in her words, but Ye Qingning was actually quite difficult to deal with. In this Uncle Changyuan's house, apart from Mr. Jiang, the person who should not be offended the most was Ye Qingning.
However, although Ye Qingning is cold and arrogant and difficult to serve, she is also very defensive. As long as she recognizes it, she will never allow anyone to bully her. For example, she has obviously been classified by Ye Qingning...
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan felt a faint warmth in her heart.
Ye Qingning didn't know what Ye Qinglan was thinking, so he whispered to himself: "When the third aunt comes back, she will definitely ask about the ruby. Then try not to say anything and leave it to me to deal with it."
This tone made her look like a weak and helpless child who would only be bullied.
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart and did not defend herself. She just smiled and nodded.
She didn't spend much time with Mrs. Xue, but in those short days, Mrs. Xue, as her aunt, never had the upper hand in front of her. Now she has initially established a firm foothold in the house. Mrs. Xue thought
To deal with her, you have to see if she has this ability! As for Hongyu, she has never paid attention to it at all.
After waiting for less than half an hour, several carriages finally appeared in front of them.
Ye Qingning muttered: "My legs are sore after waiting for so long." However, when Ye Chengli and others got off the carriage, Ye Qingning quickly put on a smile and went up with Ye Qinglan.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Ye Chengli's demeanor is still the same. He is handsome, elegant, and has the charm of a mature man. Although Xue's appearance is good, as soon as he stood next to Ye Chengli, his appearance immediately dimmed a lot.
Ye Qinglan walked forward with a smile, gathered her clothes and saluted: "My daughter has met her father and mother."
Mr.
Ye Qingning also smiled and stepped forward to greet the two of them. Ye Chengli obviously did not expect that Ye Qingning would come to greet him. He was surprised and happy at the same time. Xue's eyes darkened.
Ye Qinglan is indeed a girl with some skills. In just over half a year, she managed to coax Ye Qingning around. You know, Ye Qingning accompanied Ye Qinglan to welcome everyone in the third room to support Ye Qinglan...
The two brothers and sisters standing behind Ye Chengli all looked at Ye Qinglan.
I haven’t seen her for more than half a year. The frail and pale girl of the past has grown taller. Her complexion is fair and rosy, her eyes are smart and smart, and there is a slight smile on her lips. She is actually more beautiful and brighter than before.
A trace of jealousy flashed in Ye Qingfu's eyes, but Ye Yuanzhou felt his eyes light up and his breathing became unsteady for a moment. The person he was thinking about was standing in front of him, and no matter how good he was in self-control, he couldn't control his excitement.
. couldn't help but take a step forward: "Third sister, long time no see."
His handsome and gentle face could not hide his excitement, and his eyes were shining with a fiery light.
Ye Qinglan was mentally prepared. She responded calmly: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." She emphasized the word "eldest brother" intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Yuanzhou, who was full of excitement and enthusiasm, was poured down by a basin of cold water, and he suddenly sobered up a lot. There are so many people here, and the slightest mistake in moving will arouse everyone's suspicion...
Ye Yuanzhou composed himself, calmed down, and said with a smile: "By the way, your health should be healed by now!"
He looked so healthy that he couldn't pretend to be sick even if he wanted to. Ye Qinglan responded calmly: "Thank you for your concern, brother. I have been taking the medicine for several months, and now I am almost in good health. By the way,
Why didn’t Cousin Xue come back with you?”
Ye Qingfu rushed to answer: "My cousin has been taken back by his uncle and aunt to stay for a few days, and he will not come to the capital for the time being."
Ye Qinglan felt relieved. Ever since she had that strange dream, she had many hidden worries in her heart. Xue Yushu died young in her previous life, which had something to do with the original owner. In this life, she must not treat the innocent Xue Yushu
Get involved again.
As for how to solve the hidden danger of Ye Yuanzhou... she had a preliminary plan in mind, but she hadn't figured out how to implement it yet.
Naturally, the first thing everyone in Sanfang did when they returned home was to go to Changhe Hall to pay their respects to Mr. and Mrs. Chang Yuanbo.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Ye Sheng asked directly: "Chengli, why are you back at this time?" Ye Chengli is the general magistrate of Zhengzhou and has many official duties. Logically speaking, he should not return to the capital casually.
This was also the biggest question in Ye Qinglan's mind. She listened to Ye Chengli's answer: "Yuan Zhou was in Zhengzhou to attend the Qiu Wei ceremony. He has been depressed and depressed these days. I want to send him back to the capital to study in the Imperial College. By then,
I also asked my father to help me sort it out."
The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in this dynasty, and most of the students who could study in the Imperial College were the sons of officials or sons of distinguished families. Ye Yuanzhou was barely qualified.
It was related to his grandson's studies. Ye Sheng did not refuse. He thought about it for a moment and then agreed. Ye Chengli was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. Ye Yuanzhou was also very obedient. He took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Thank you for your trouble, grandpa. Your grandson has entered the Imperial College."
, I will definitely work hard."
Ye Sheng hummed, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qinglan's heart stirred quietly, and she always felt that something was wrong. Wasn't Ye Yuanzhou's academic performance very good? Why did Qiu Wei fail and didn't even finish at the bottom of the rankings? Was there something going on that she didn't know about?
Ye Qinglan glanced at Mr. Xue calmly. Mr. Xue maintained a decent smile, but his eyes were a little gloomy. He glanced at Ye Yuanzhou quickly, and then looked away.
Xue's reaction was very wrong.
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed. From this point of view, there must be something behind Ye Yuanzhou's Qiu Wei failure. As for the reason, I believe it will surface soon...
That night, several tables of family banquets were set up in Changhe Hall. All the masters of Changyuan's house, old and young, came, and it was very lively. Through a screen, the voices on both sides could be heard clearly.
Several cousins of the same age sat down naturally. Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan sat together, chatting and laughing in low voices, looking very intimate.
Ye Qingfu's eyes grew hot when she saw it, and she brazenly interrupted: "I heard that the sixth cousin has already made an engagement, but I haven't even had time to congratulate her yet! Cousin Zheng is a talented person, and he and the sixth cousin are a perfect match."
Ye Qingning didn't really want to talk to her and smiled casually.
Seeing that she was not as sarcastic as before, Ye Qingfu immediately brightened up and continued talking about this topic.
Ye Qingning was willing to deal with her a few words at first, but later on, he started to get a little impatient. In front of so many people, it was really embarrassing to talk about her fiancé all the time. But Ye Qingfu didn't even wink.
, kept talking non-stop.
"Don't you have anything else to say?" Ye Qingning was so mean that he almost choked to death: "Girls who are not engaged always say this, and those who don't know better think you are in a hurry to get married!"
Ye Qingfu's smile froze, her face was burning, she was ashamed, annoyed and angry, but she didn't have the courage to argue with Ye Qingning. Naturally, she vented her anger on Ye Qinglan, who was watching the fun side by side: "You are sitting so close to do this
What, it’s so hot, stay away from me.”
The tone of voice cannot be more harsh.
Ye Qinglan was too lazy to compete with her and simply moved the stool further away.
Ye Qingfu was filled with anger, and she was even more annoyed when she saw Ye Qinglan's behavior. She glared at Ye Qinglan angrily: "Why are you so far away? I won't eat you."
It's just a deliberate attempt to find trouble.
Ye Qingning was unhappy. It's useless to express anger to others. If you have the ability, come to her. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he heard Ye Qinglan's unhurried counterattack: "It's not good for me to sit close, and it's not good for me to sit far away."
You are unhappy. Dare you ask the second sister where you want me to sit? As long as the second sister says it, I will do it."
...Ye Qingfu's face turned green and red. How could she forget that this girl was so articulate and eloquent that she was not a loser at all?
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingning couldn't help but feel happy. Ye Qingrou also turned her head away and snickered.
Ye Qingfu gritted her teeth secretly in anger. Humph, she must complain to her mother later and let her vent her anger on her!
Ye Qinglan knew without thinking what Ye Qingfu was thinking, and was too lazy to talk to Ye Qingfu anymore.
Anyway, Mr.
After the family banquet was over, the men moved to the study to chat, while the women went to the side hall to talk with Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Xue couldn't help but frowned when she saw Ye Qingfu lowering her head and saying nothing.
Asked: "Fu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qingfu flattened her mouth in grievance, and quickly glanced at Ye Qinglan, but said nothing.
If it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, she would have shed tears and complained.
Mrs.
Ye Qinglan had already "received" Mr. Xue's cold gaze, and secretly sneered in her heart. As soon as Mr. Xue came back, her life would no longer be peaceful. Even if Ye Qingfu hadn't complained, Mrs. Xue would have tried her best to find trouble.
