Hongluan was startled for a moment before he responded and silently followed Ye Qinglan to see Mr. Xue.
When they arrived at Mrs. Xue's house, they saw that Ye Chengli and Mrs. Xue were fully dressed, and Ye Yuanzhou was standing aside in high spirits.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello. Mr.
In fact, at this time, she had already packed up and arrived at Luomeiyuan. However, since Mrs. Xue was determined to find trouble, she had no need to distinguish. Ye Chengli was here anyway, so it was better to pretend to be weak and gain sympathy from her father.
Ye Qinglan put on a look of shame, her eyes filled with water. She vividly expressed a concubine who was scolded by her aunt for being weak and helpless: "I'm sorry, mother. My daughter will definitely get up earlier to pay her respects in the future."
As expected, Ye Chengli couldn't see his little daughter's pitiful look, and frowned and said: "Sister Lan is still a child, and it's time for her body to grow. It doesn't matter if she sleeps more. Don't frighten the child with a sullen face. Besides,
, Sister Fu hasn’t come yet, hasn’t she?” It’s too obvious to favor one over the other!
... Mrs.
Her reason."
Ye Chengli's face softened slightly and he finally said nothing.
Ye Yuanzhou finally had an honest opportunity to see Ye Qinglan, so he naturally refused to let it go, and his eyes fell quietly on her pretty face like white jade.
After not seeing her for so long, she has grown taller. Her body has gradually gained slender curves. She is wearing a white dress and a green skirt. She is charming and as fresh as a budding orchid. Looking at her like this, even if she says nothing,
, the anxious longing in my heart quickly subsided.
Now that he is back this time, he will never leave her again.
Ye Yuanzhou thought silently in his heart and forced himself to look away. His mother knew everything, but his father had no idea. He must not let his father notice anything strange.
"Yuanzhou. When you enter the Imperial College, you must study hard." Ye Chengli warned earnestly: "The provincial examination is held once every three years. It doesn't matter if you didn't pass it this time. You are still young anyway, so it won't be too late to take the test again in three years."
Ye Yuanzhou immediately said: "Father, don't worry, my child will study hard and he will never let you down again in three years."
Ye Chengli nodded happily.
Mrs. Xue watched from the sidelines. She was so depressed and upset that she was almost bleeding. If it weren't for Ye Qinglan, a cheap girl, Ye Yuanzhou would not have failed the exam on purpose. Ye Chengli had always had high expectations for Ye Yuanzhou, so he was naturally anxious when he saw him fail in Qiu Wei.
She insisted on sending Ye Yuanzhou back to the capital to study in the Imperial College. She knew the real purpose of her son's return, so she was naturally anxious and angry. But she couldn't reveal even half of these words to Ye Yuanzhou...
Ye Qingfu came late, but she was not ashamed at all. She said with a smile: "Father, mother, let's go to Changhe Hall to pay our respects to our grandparents now!"
Ye Chengli glared at her with some dissatisfaction: "If we hadn't waited for you, we would have gone to Changhetang long ago. When we return to the capital, we need to change this habit of sleeping in."
Ye Qingfu pursed her lips in grievance, and Mrs. Xue hurriedly came to her rescue: "Fu'er must be tired from the long journey these days, so she got up a little late."
Ye Chengli said unhappily: "When I was in Zhengzhou, I didn't see her getting up early every day. It's not okay for you to always spoil her like this."
Mrs.
Ye Chengli then became silent and led the third room and his party to Changhe Hall. Changyuan Bo Ye Sheng had to go to court today and left very early. Only the Jiang family was there. The eldest family member, Zheng family, and the second family member, Li family,
Already arrived.
Ye Chengli smiled and said: "My son is late, I hope my mother won't blame him."
Mr. Jiang was always lukewarm towards the people in the third house. Hearing this, he responded calmly: "You guys have been riding in the carriage for a few days. You should have a good rest. It doesn't matter if it's later."
Ye Chengli and Mr.
Ye Qingning stood opposite her and raised his eyebrows at her. The two had known each other for a long time and had a tacit understanding. Ye Qinglan knew at a glance that she was asking Mr. Xue if he was looking for trouble.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and shook her head invisibly.
How could Ye Qingning believe it? He rolled his eyes angrily. Why are you trying to show off in front of her? With Xue's temper, it would be strange not to cause trouble for Ye Qinglan. If nothing else, just the matter about Hongyu is enough.
Being a good excuse for Xue's family made Ye Qinglan angry...
"Third Aunt, my niece has to apologize to you today." As everyone's gossip came to an end, Ye Qingning opened her mouth with a smile and said: "I saw that Hong Yu next to my tenth sister was smart and smart, so I came over. I still want to
Wait, when Third Aunt comes back, I will give her good company. I hope Third Aunt is willing to give up her love and leave the ruby to me. If Third Aunt is short of manpower, I can choose the maid from Huancui Pavilion.
Already."
Mrs. Xue had expected that Ye Qingning would protect Ye Qinglan, but she did not expect that she would expose the matter so openly in front of so many people. At this moment, even if Mrs. Xue wanted Hongyu to come back, she would not be able to do so.
It's time to open her mouth - she is an elder after all, and she can't argue with her niece just because of a mere maid.
However, Ms.
She's a used maid, but don't think highly of her because of this. This maid is a bit tricky and shrewd, so she needs to be tempered. It's better to let her stay in Huancui Pavilion and be a maid.
After half a year of menial work, it’s not too late to use her again.”
These words sounded pleasant to the ear at first, but upon closer inspection, every word contained sarcasm. They were clearly mocking Ye Qingning for treating the eldest maid next to her as a clumsy servant girl.
Ye Qingning had never experienced such idleness before. His smile suddenly faded a bit, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Ye Qinglan felt bad when she saw that Ye Qingning was being blamed for her. But at this moment, it would be inappropriate for her to interrupt at will. Even if everyone present knew what was going on, as long as this layer of window paper was not pierced
If it was broken, she and Mr. Xue would not be at odds with each other. Therefore, she could only suppress all her thoughts.
Zheng frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "It's all my fault. I usually spoil Ning'er, but she has a lot of bad habits. I want whatever I see, but this time it's better.
Even your personal maid has to come over." After saying that, he glared at Ye Qingning: "Why don't you hurry up and ask your third aunt to accompany you, and I will send Hongyu back to Hefengyuan later."
Ye Qingning hummed aggrievedly, with a little water shining in his eyes.
If Ms.
Support Ye Qinglan.
Mrs.
I mentioned something like sending it back. If this word got out, wouldn’t it make people laugh at me as a stingy third aunt?"
No matter what, we can't offend the Zheng family. Let's not talk about the prominent relatives of the Zheng family. Let's just say that in a few years, Ye Chengren will inherit the title. The third family will rely on the eldest family in many places. At this time, we must not talk to Zheng family.
The family had a falling out.
Mrs. Xue's reaction was as expected by Mrs. Zheng. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Ning'er, why don't you thank your third aunt quickly?"
The glimmer in Ye Qingning's eyes immediately disappeared, and he said energetically: "Thank you, third aunt."
Mrs.
The Li family was naturally happy to watch the Zheng family and the Xue family fight. It was only at this moment that she interrupted with a smile: "The third brother and sister are really generous. The maid next to them just gave it to Sister Ning. If Sister Rou takes a fancy to it,
The maid next to you, I wonder if the third brother and sister are willing to part ways with you."
Knowing that Li was deliberately provoking, the smile on Xue's face froze: "Second sister-in-law is really ashamed of me for saying this. I am clumsy by nature, and the maids around me are also clumsy and not smart enough. How can I compare to Sister Rou's side?"
maid."
Before Ms. Li could say anything, Ms. Zheng said calmly: "If the second brother and sister are dissatisfied with the maids around Sister Rou, I will have someone choose a few smart ones and send them over."
This time, it was Li's turn to stop laughing. If Zheng took this opportunity to replace all the maids around Ye Qingrou, it would be more of a loss than she gained. Knowing that Zheng was deliberately trying to squeeze her, Li also
I had to force out a smile: "I was just joking casually, sister-in-law, don't take it seriously."
Madam Zheng calmly settled the matter between Madam Li and Madam Xue. Madam Jiang looked on coldly, feeling a little unhappy. She said calmly: "Okay, it's getting late today. You all should go back and rest."
!”
The three daughters-in-law each responded respectfully and led their children away.
Xue's smile only lasted until He Fengyuan and then disappeared, her eyes darkened. Since Ye Chengli was there, she didn't say much.
In the afternoon, Hongyu quietly slipped out of Huancui Pavilion, knelt in front of Mrs.
Doing rough work, but also being laughed at by those maids and mothers all day long, saying that although the slave is the maid next to the madam, she is easily kicked away by the lady..."
At this point, Hongyu cried even more vigorously: "I hope my wife will make the decision for this slave." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
