After Ye Yuanzhou made the oath of poison, his whole body seemed to have lost all strength, and his face looked a little bleak.
Seeing him like this, Ye Qinglan felt much better. Smelling the aroma of the food again, she suddenly felt an appetite: "Thank you so much for bringing me the food. I'm hungry now and have to eat. Please help yourself."
Ye Yuanzhou regained his composure and was reluctant to leave like this. He said cheekily: "I'll just watch you eat here."
Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and sat down to eat as if no one else was watching. Just watch if you like. Am I still afraid of people watching?
Only then did Ruixue react and hurriedly stepped forward to serve Ye Qinglan while eating.
Ye Yuanzhou stared at Ruixue gloomily and said, "Ruixue, did you hear what Third Sister and I said?"
Ruixue shivered unconsciously and immediately responded in a low voice: "I am stupid, I didn't hear anything just now."
"It's good that I didn't hear it." Ye Yuanzhou's voice was still cold: "You are a smart man, you don't need me to teach you what to do. If even half a word of what Lan'er and I said is spread, I will be the first to come to you.
Settle accounts."
Ruixue agreed obediently, feeling chilled in her heart. The personal maid knew too much, and if she aroused the mistress's scruples, there would be no easy end in the future. If one day Ye Yuanzhou didn't like her, he could just find an excuse.
Sell her out of the house...
Ye Qinglan frowned delicately and said slightly unhappily: "I will train my maid, so I don't have to worry about it, brother."
As the saying goes, one thing will bring another down. Ye Yuanzhou, who had a cold face just now, immediately softened. He smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, it was all my fault just now. I shouldn't have overstepped my authority."
Ruixue felt a little relieved. As long as the young lady is willing to protect her, it will be fine. Even if the young master dislikes her, he will still care about the young lady's face and won't do anything to her!
Ye Qinglan quickly ate a bowl of rice and finally filled her stomach.
Ye Yuanzhou didn't say anything, just sat quietly aside. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this is absolutely true. Even if Ye Qinglan deliberately behaved rudely, in Ye Yuanzhou's eyes, it turned out to be straightforward and cute.
There was a knock on the door suddenly, breaking the silence in the room.
Ruixue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to open the door. The person who came was Hongqi, the maid beside Mr.
Mrs.
Ye Yuanzhou's face darkened and he replied impatiently: "Okay, I got it. I'll go there in a moment." It was a rare opportunity to talk to Ye Qinglan alone, so he couldn't bear to leave.
Hong Qi boldly said: "My wife said there is something urgent to discuss, and she also asked the young master to go over now."
Ye Yuanzhoujun lost the smile on his face and glanced at Hong Qi coldly: "You are quite courageous. You actually ordered me around. I said I would come over later. Don't you have ears?"
Hong Qi's face turned red after being scolded, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Ye Qinglan couldn't bear to see him venting his anger on the maid, and said calmly: "Hongqi came to see the eldest brother on her mother's order. If the eldest brother is unhappy, he should tell his mother. What's wrong with getting angry at Hongqi?"
Ye Yuanzhou was choked, and a trace of sadness passed through his heart. She could feel sympathy and compassion for a maid, so why was she never nice to him? His heart was also fleshy, and he would always be cold-hearted towards her sarcastic words.
.On the surface, it seems like nothing is happening, but in fact, I feel extremely uncomfortable...
Ye Qinglan didn't even look at him again. She turned around and told Ruixue: "You guys haven't had dinner either. There's still a lot of food left here. Take it out and eat with them."
Ruixue responded and hurriedly put away the dishes.
Ye Yuanzhou took a deep breath and finally opened his mouth and said, "Third sister, I'm leaving now and will come see you tomorrow."
Ye Qinglan hummed indifferently without any regret. Ye Yuanzhou felt a faint pain in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all. He stood up and left as if nothing had happened.
As soon as Ye Yuanzhou left, Ruixue breathed a sigh of relief. She was already covered in cold sweat on her back.
Ye Qinglan comforted her gently: "Ruixue, you don't have to be afraid. As long as I'm here, I will definitely keep you safe."
Ruixue responded gratefully: "Thank you, miss." After a pause, she whispered: "You are like a slave. Miss, please don't get into a dispute with the young master because of me..."
"Who said you are nothing?" Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "In my heart, you are more important than anyone else. No one can bully you in front of me!"
Ruixue has never been a sentimental person, but after hearing these words, she felt warm in her heart, with tears looming in her eyes: "How can I be so virtuous as a slave? How can I be worthy of such wholehearted care as a young lady."
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about it anymore. Take the food out quickly and ask Guiyuan and the others to eat together!"
Ruixue responded, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and neatly carried the lunch box out of the house.
Ruomei stepped in lightly and said in a low voice: "Miss, please don't worry, I have already spread the news. When the young master receives the news, he will definitely come up with a way to save the lady from the predicament."
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a rare moment: "You weren't here just now, so you went to deliver the news?"
Ruomei nodded crisply: "Although the young master only sent slaves to serve the young lady, in fact, there were two other secret guards who did not show up and only helped deliver the news in secret. Just now, the slaves were sent to the young master.
I will send the letter back..."
Ye Qinglan frowned slightly and interrupted Ruomei gently: "Ruomei, there is no need to alarm Cousin Gu with such trivial matters in the future."
Ruomei was stunned and almost blurted out the word "why". The young master specially sent her to take care of the young lady, and also specifically told her to report everything no matter how big or small it was. Naturally, she did not dare and could not neglect...
"Did Cousin Gu tell you to report everything to him?" Ye Qinglan asked lightly.
Ruomei restrained her mind and whispered. Ye Qinglan's calm voice sounded in her ears: "He is your master, and you should obey his orders. However, since he has given you to me now, you have to do things according to me.
From now on, there is no need to tell him about such trivial matters."
Ruomei bravely raised her head and said, "But if the young master knew that I knew that I knew it but didn't report it, I would definitely blame my inability to do things well."
Ye Qinglan smiled: "If you don't tell me about some things, how could he know about it? Besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to interfere in the affairs of the third room of our Uncle Changyuan Mansion. Instead, it would only add to the trouble. It's better not to do anything else.
Tell him so that he doesn’t have to worry about sex when he’s busy with official duties. Do you understand?”
This was said so clearly that Ruomei would naturally not understand it!
If it were any other woman, she would be extremely happy to know that her sweetheart values her so much. The young lady is really different...
Seeing that Ruomei was silent, Ye Qinglan emphasized her tone again: "Since you understand, I don't need to say more. Don't let Cousin Gu know about such trivial matters in the future."
Gu Xinian's good intentions were true, but she was no longer a weak and helpless child who didn't understand the world, and she really didn't need such care.
Ruomei had no choice but to respond, but secretly made a calculation in her heart. If the young master failed to receive the message according to the young lady's wishes, he would definitely blame her for not doing the job well. If the young master had passed the message back according to the young lady's wishes, in every detail,
The lady will be unhappy again. It’s really a headache! What should I do?
After thinking about it for a night, Ruomei finally made a decision. She was a secret guard under the young master, and was sent by the young master to serve the young lady. But in the final analysis, she was still his slave. So... I had to apologize to the young lady first.
Got it!
Ye Qinglan actually thought of Ruomei's calculations. She said this just to give Ruomei a few words, but she didn't expect to win Ruomei over completely with just a few words. Gu Xinian did this out of concern for her. She
I'm not the kind of white-eyed wolf who doesn't know what's good or bad. I'm actually quite touched.
However, she has no intention of living dependent on others. She should face her own affairs by herself!
Early the next morning, Ye Qinglan came to Mr. Xue early to say hello. As usual, Mr. Xue didn't show any good looks and asked with a sullen face: "Why did Yuanzhou come to see you again last night?"
... She also wanted to ask Mr. Xue why she couldn't even look down on someone and let Ye Yuanzhou harass her when he was free!
Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips and responded with a seemingly respectful tone: "To answer my mother's question, my daughter doesn't know what's going on. Maybe the eldest brother came to talk to me when he had some free time."
Mrs. Xue had already learned about her sharp tongue, so she naturally felt unhappy when she heard that. She frowned again: "What did he say to you?"
"Actually, I didn't say anything. I just asked the eldest brother why he suddenly fell into the water." Ye Qinglan responded with a slight smile: "The eldest brother said that he drank too much wine, so his feet slipped. That's why he 'accidentally' dragged
They fell into the water together with Cui Shixiong." In fact, she and Mrs. Xue knew very well that Ye Yuanzhou did it intentionally, and there was no such thing as carelessness.
As expected, Mr. Xue's expression changed slightly and she stared straight at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan pretended to sigh with regret: "Brother is really too careless. Brother Cui Shi is about to participate in the Spring Festival. If he is delayed by this illness, he doesn't know whether this year's Spring Festival will be affected. Fortunately, Brother Cui Shi has a broad mind.
I don’t hold any grudge against my elder brother for this.”
However, the He family is different. It is obvious that she completely hates Ye Yuanzhou and doesn't even want to see the Xue family and her daughter.
These few words pierced the heart, and Xue was choked with a breath in her throat. She couldn't go up or down, not to mention how frustrated she was. Just as she was about to say something, the figures of Ye Yuanzhou and Ye Qingfu appeared at the door.
