It's not even close to being jealous. She and Gu Xinian have just started, and she doesn't have the right to be jealous yet, and she doesn't have the luxury to have fun in her leisure time. But when she thinks of the scene where Gu Xinian and Shen Qiuyu look at each other, She couldn't help but have a taste for it.
Therefore, a boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend is always a pain in the ass.
Ye Qinglan thought wildly for a moment, and then heard Gu Xiyu say again: "Eldest brother often goes to the prince's cousin's house now."
…
Ye Qinglan frowned unconsciously. This time, she did not think of Shen Qiuyu, but was worried about Gu Xinian.
Everything that happened in his previous life was Gu Xinian's biggest concern. In the past, he always pretended to be a wealthy idler and refused to enter the official career, and he had almost no contact with the prince. But now, Gu Xinian became the household secretary because of the recommendation of Queen Gu. In the eyes of others, the Minister is already a confirmed princeling. Whether in the court or outside the court, interactions are inevitable.
What is Gu Xinian thinking in his mind? Does he really want to help the prince, or is he building a plank road secretly to plot against Chen Cangyi, hoping to use the prince's power to take revenge?
The more Ye Qinglan thought about it, the more frightened she became. Judging from Gu Xinian's temperament, the possibility of the latter was far greater than the former. It would be fine if he succeeded, but if he was careless, it would be fatal...
After waiting for a long time, Ye Qinglan didn't speak. Gu Xiyu couldn't help but look over curiously: "What are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?"
Ye Qinglan calmed down and responded perfunctorily with a smile: "I was wondering if Cousin Gu would often meet Concubine Shen when he often goes to the Prince's Mansion. Everyone knows that the two of them had a relationship in the past. Wouldn't it be wrong to meet again? Embarrassing?"
Unexpectedly, this topic would arouse a burst of indignation from Gu Xiyu: "Yes, my grandparents not only didn't feel sorry for my eldest brother, but actually forced my eldest brother to get married."
Ye Qinglan smiled and asked tentatively: "Are you interested in a girl from a certain family?"
Gu Xiyu nodded: "Speaking of which, you also know her. She is Zhang Yue, the legitimate daughter of the British government."
A delicate and elegant girl's face flashed quickly in Ye Qinglan's mind. Although she had only seen it two or three times, she had a very good impression of Zhang Yue. Although her appearance was not particularly outstanding, she had the demeanor of a noble girl from aristocratic families. He is magnanimous in his advances and retreats. With his family status in the British Duke's family, he is definitely a good match for Duke Dingguo. It's no wonder that Duke Ding and his wife fall in love with Zhang Yue.
"My father and mother also urged me several times, but the eldest brother was not willing at all." Gu Xiyu said: "Because of this, the eldest brother even talked back to my grandmother a few times. My grandmother was very angry."
The corners of Ye Qinglan's lips raised unconsciously, but she asked: "Cousin Gu is already twenty-one after the Chinese New Year, and he has already reached the age of getting married. We can't keep delaying it like this. Besides, life-long events are not all important. Do the elders have the final say? Why didn’t your grandparents force Cousin Gu to get married when he said he didn’t want to? "
Gu Xiyu smiled and said, "Why haven't you forced me? I forced my eldest brother to get married a few years ago. At that time, my eldest brother only said one sentence. Later, my grandparents, father, and mother no longer dared to say a word."
Ye Qinglan's curiosity was immediately piqued: "What did cousin Gu say at that time?"
Gu Xiyu replied: "The eldest brother said that he decides on his own life-long affairs. If the family arranges a marriage for him privately, he will leave the house and travel around the world. He will never come back."
...It’s so cruel!
Gu Xiyu sighed and continued: "In the past few years, the eldest brother has been refusing to get married, and his father and mother can't do anything to him. The mother and grandmother were afraid that the eldest brother would not be taken care of, so they sent beautiful maids to Izuyunxuan. However, It took me two days at most to be sent to Zhuangzi by my eldest brother. It's good now. Except for a few clumsy and unremarkable servant girls in Izumo House, they are all servants. I'm really worried that eldest brother will continue like this." He paused. .Angrily said again: "It's all Shen Qiuyu's fault. If it weren't for her, my eldest brother wouldn't have tormented me like this."
The first words don't sound like much, but the last sentence is a bit harsh.
Ye Qinglan did not say a word. Deep love leads to deep hatred. Gu Xinian hates Shen Qiuyu deeply, but no one can say whether there is any lingering love in this hatred. In this mess, she is now But I'm not in the mood to care about it. It's better to wait until later.
Gu Xiyu rarely opened up her chat box, but she said a lot: "I really hope that my eldest brother can forget Shen Qiuyu and meet a woman who really likes him and loves him..."
Ye Qinglan was uncharacteristically silent and just listened to Gu Xiyu's words silently.
Gu Xiyu talked for a long time, finally felt tired, yawned, and lay down. Ye Qinglan also slowly lay down and closed her eyes.
Ye Qinglan thought that her thoughts would be too troubled to fall asleep, but she didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, and she slept soundly.
The next day, Ye Qinglan went to Qinfang Garden alone.
Cui Wan pushed away the maid next to her, frowned and said: "...Ten sister, my mother said something to me before she left yesterday. I want to ask you, don't be angry after hearing this."
Seeing Cui Wan's serious expression, Ye Qinglan did not dare to neglect and immediately responded: "What on earth is going on?"
Cui Wan sighed and then said: "My mother told me yesterday that the third aunt hinted in front of her that you and the young master of the Xue family have an affair and will get married in a few days..."
Ye Qinglan's complexion suddenly changed and she pursed her lips.
"...Although mother didn't fully believe what she said, since the third aunt said it to her face, it would be hard for her to come to propose marriage in the future." Cui Wan sighed: "I don't know what's going on, so I specially came here to propose marriage." Let me ask you. What happened about Young Master Xue is definitely not true!"
Ye Qinglan calmly replied with a sneer: "Of course not. Although Cousin Xue and I grew up together, there is no personal relationship between men and women at all."
Mr. Xue is so insidious!
She said this with the intention of causing Mr. He to misunderstand. Even if Mr. He didn't believe this, she probably wouldn't have a good impression of herself. She would never come to propose marriage again in the future. This played into Mr. Xue's plan. Maybe Mr. Xue really wanted to marry her to Xue Yushu!
Not to mention anything else, just because of the tragedy of her previous life, she will never make the same mistake again!
Seeing that Ye Qinglan was rarely angry, Cui Wan understood and frowned and said: "How could the third aunt say that? Fortunately, my mother is not a talkative person and will not talk nonsense outside. Otherwise, your reputation will be completely ruined." Yes." If word spreads, it will be very difficult for Ye Qinglan to get married in the future.
Ye Qinglan suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely be careful in the future."
Cui Wan sighed and said: "Ten sister, if the third aunt intends to embarrass you about the marriage, you have to be more careful." In any case, Mrs. Xue is Ye Qinglan's aunt, and she does have the right to arrange a marriage for Ye Qinglan. If she really has the intention
It was really hard to prevent Ye Qinglan from embarrassing herself.
Ye Qinglan nodded, but made up her mind. After returning, she would write a letter and have someone send it to Zhengzhou. It didn't matter that Xue was her aunt, don't forget that she still had a biological father. As long as Ye Chengli was willing to protect her
, Mr. Xue couldn’t survive the storm.
Besides, there was Gu Xinian here. Since he had personally said that he wanted to propose marriage in an honest and open manner, then this problem would be a headache for him.
Cui Wan seemed to have something to say. She glanced at Ye Qinglan and hesitated.
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your kind reminder. If you have anything else to say, please say it together. Is there anything else we two can't say?"
Cui Wan hesitated for a moment and then said apologetically: "My mother was not very happy after hearing what the third aunt said. In the future, I probably won't let my second brother come to see you at will."
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Mr. Xue's move was really powerful. He ignored her and succeeded in accepting Mr. He's offer. It seemed that Mr. He had completely given up on marrying her as his daughter-in-law. Moreover, he must have said it clearly in front of Cui Wan.
Passed. Otherwise, Cui Wan would not look apologetic.
"My mother is just unhappy for a moment," Cui Wan comforted Ye Qinglan and said, "I will try to persuade her after a while..."
"No need," Ye Qinglan smiled faintly and interrupted Cui Wan: "This kind of misunderstanding will become more and more unclear the more you explain it. Let's forget it!"
From the beginning to the end, she had no real intention to marry Cui Yu. It was too cheap for Baba to come to explain this kind of thing! If Mr. He wants to misunderstand, just let it go.
Cui Wan didn't understand what she meant for a while. He just thought she was embarrassed and said hurriedly: "This is not a trivial matter. I'd better tell my mother!" Otherwise, with He's temperament, I'm afraid it won't be true in the future.
Cui Yu is about to come see Ye Qinglan again.
Ye Qinglan smiled gently and said, "It really goes without saying."
Cui Wan was stunned for a moment, then gradually understood, her eyes were a little complicated: "Thirteenth sister, you..." Do you really not like the second brother at all? That's why you don't care about He's attitude so much?
Ye Qinglan simply made it clear and said: "Cousin, there are only two of us here, I might as well speak from my heart. Brother Cui Shi is a very good person, and I really like him. However, this love has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.
I never wanted to marry him."
Cui Wan didn't know how to respond for a moment and fell silent.
It turns out that it was Cui Yu's wishful thinking from beginning to end. This silly boy is still dreaming about coming to propose marriage after spring...
"I have never said these words clearly because I was afraid that it would affect his participation in the imperial examination." Ye Qinglan thought of Cui Yu's sparkling eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "There is still more than a month left before Spring Festival.
I am concentrating on preparing for the scientific examination, so it is better not to tell him."
After the Spring Festival, even if he has any thoughts, He will naturally give up his thoughts. She no longer has to worry about this idle thought.
However, I also feel a little regretful.
That innocent and cute nerd will never appear in front of her again! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
