Naturally, Xue Yushu didn't know what Ye Yuanzhou was thinking, so he smiled to himself: "Now that we've agreed to get married, the good days are coming soon! Will I have another cousin-in-law before the end of the year?"
Ye Yuanzhou didn't want to talk about this topic, so he casually changed the topic: "Let's not talk about it anymore. By the way, how long can you stay here this time?"
Of course, the longer the better. Xue Yushu thought to himself, but said: "I can probably stay there for ten and a half days. It's a pity that you have to go back to the Imperial College tomorrow, and I won't have a chance to go out with you."
Ye Yuanzhou smiled and said pointedly: "It doesn't matter if I'm not in the house, as long as Third Sister is here."
Xue Yushu's face turned red when he was told what he meant.
Although his feelings for Ye Qinglan are known to everyone, it is the first time that he has spoken out clearly like this...
Ye Yuanzhou looked at Xue Yushu, who was blushing and silent, and felt sour in his heart. It took all his strength to suppress the sourness, and said with a smile: "We grew up together, although
We are called cousins, but in fact, we are not even close to each other as real brothers. Do you still need to hide your thoughts from me?"
The heat on Xue Yushu's face subsided a little, and he said coquettishly: "I can't hide anything from you, I... I do like my cousin. However, my cousin seems to be lukewarm towards me. I went to look for her just now, and she was
The maid was blocked." The maid dared to do this, naturally because Ye Qinglan had instructed not to see him. Thinking of this, Xue Yushu's smile dimmed.
Ye Yuanzhou took a breath, secretly clenched his fists, and then took a deep breath. He loosened his fists and said with a calm smile: "Girls are always thin-skinned, and she is shyer than others. It's okay to have such a reaction.
It's not surprising. If you are really serious, you should take this opportunity to get closer to her. In the future, you can ask your uncle and aunt to propose marriage. My mother always loves you and will definitely nod and agree to the marriage."
Xue Yushu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Cousin, do you really mean what you say? Do you really want me to be with my cousin?"
Ye Yuanzhou felt a sharp pain in his heart, but the smile on his face became gentler: "Of course. You are my biological cousin. She is my biological sister. The two of you can be together because we are intimate.
It's a good thing. I'm not happy about it. Anyway, you will have many opportunities to get along with Third Sister in the future, but you must seize the opportunity."
Xue Yushu was so happy that he kept rubbing his hands: "Yes, yes, you said it. I will definitely seize the opportunity." When he was excited, he couldn't even speak clearly.
Ye Yuanzhou was still smiling, but his eyes were cold.
If he could, he would like to drive away all the men who are close to Ye Qinglan. He will never let her get married. The only person who can stay with her is him!
But the reality is always cruel. He was forced to get married. With his mother's temperament, in order to solve the "future troubles", he might soon get engaged to his third sister, or even deliberately let her marry far away. Just in case.
One day, let alone staying together forever, it would be impossible to even see her.
Therefore, he must come up with a solution as soon as possible.
After much deliberation, I finally came up with such an idea. Only by letting Ye Qinglan and Xue Yushu get married first can we eliminate the possibility of marrying far away. Compared with taking advantage of others, Xue Yushu is the only choice. Even if they get married, they can still
I see Ye Qinglan often. As for the future... there will always be a way to "solve" the marriage. Ye Qinglan will be able to stay in the house and stay with him for a long time.
A series of thoughts flashed through Ye Yuanzhou's mind, and he smiled again: "Okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back and rest. If you need my help in the future, just ask."
Xue Yushu grinned. My cousin is really loyal, so I have nothing to say!
After Ye Yuanzhou left, Xue Yushu walked around the room excitedly and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Ye Yuanzhou is also tossing and turning. As long as he thinks that Xue Yushu will pester Ye Qinglan all day long to show his attentiveness when he is not in the house, he will be filled with jealousy and resentment. But no matter how uncomfortable the pain is, he has to suppress it in his heart...
Ye Yuanzhou turned over and took out a hairpin from under the pillow. He looked at the hairpin for a long time before putting it back under the pillow.
One day, she will wear the hairpin he gave her...,...one day!
Early the next morning, Ye Yuanzhou cheered up and appeared in front of everyone. He barely slept all night, and his face naturally looked bad. Xue asked with concern: "Yuanzhou, you don't seem to be in good spirits. Are you sick?"
Ye Yuanzhou's heart moved and he frowned following the words: "My head is a little dizzy, but it should be nothing serious. I have to rush back to the Imperial College." If he wanted to stay, Mr. Xue must be nervous and wary. Now
With this attitude, Mr. Xue would not be suspicious.
As expected, Mrs.
This was what Ye Yuanzhou wanted, but he was deliberately hesitant on his face: "It's not good to ask for leave casually. This little problem is nothing, I'd better go back..."
This time, even Ye Chengli spoke up: "There is no need to rush into studying. If your body collapses, the gain will outweigh the loss. Let's rest for a few more days!"
Ye Yuanzhou felt extremely happy, and he responded respectfully.
Ye Qinglan watched Ye Yuanzhou's acting with cold eyes. Compared with a year ago, Ye Yuanzhou's acting skills were even more superb... As soon as Xue Yushu came, he refused to leave. What exactly did he want to do? Could it be like dealing with Cui before?
Even if Yu is like that, he should also take action against Xue Yushu!
Facts have proved that Ye Qinglan was really wrong this time.
Ye Yuanzhou stayed not to deal with Xue Yushu, but to encourage Xue Yushu to please her and get closer to her. It would be best to get them engaged as soon as possible, so that he would have one less thing to worry about...
Mr. Xue was very concerned about Ye Yuanzhou and immediately sent for a doctor. The doctor took a pulse and found nothing wrong: "Young Master probably thinks too much, which leads to unstable sleep, so he is not in good spirits. I will start now."
A prescription to soothe the nerves. Drink it for a few days and you should be fine."
As soon as she heard the words "overthinking", Xue's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Ye Yuanzhou subconsciously.
Ye Chengli was also on the side, frowning and asked: "Yuanzhou, what are you thinking about?" What can a young man of this age think about?
Ye Yuanzhou rambled nonchalantly: "Reporting to my father, I always want to get first place in the Imperial Examination, so I'm probably thinking too much. I haven't slept well these past few days."
Ye Chengli didn't become suspicious, but comforted him: "As long as you try your best, whether you take the first place or not is secondary."
Naturally, Mr. Xue didn't believe these words, but in front of Ye Chengli, it was difficult to expose Ye Yuanzhou, so he followed the words and said: "What I said makes sense. Yuanzhou, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."
That's fine. If you feel unwell, don't go to say hello today, go back to your room and rest." He then ordered his servants to grab some medicine and boil it.
Ye Yuanzhou responded and glanced at Ye Qinglan quickly before leaving.
Ye Qinglan lowered her head and did not look at Ye Yuanzhou. His words just now could deceive others, but they could not deceive Ms.
No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t figure out what it could be…
After returning from greetings at Changhe Hall, Mrs. Xue immediately went to Ye Yuanzhou's room. With a glance, the servants all left.
"Yuanzhou, there's no one else here, tell me honestly, why are you pretending to be sick?" Ms. Xue frowned, with a stern look on her face: "You can't let go of that girl Ye Qinglan!"
Ye Yuanzhou's heart skipped a beat and he denied it without thinking: "It's nothing, mother, don't think about it. Since I have already made an appointment to get married, naturally I won't think about her anymore. I am really worried about the Xun'an exam these days.
I did very well in several exams, and several of my classmates were eager to compare with me. I was very stressed, so I couldn't sleep well."
He said it so confidently that Xue was dubious: "Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Ye Yuanzhou said sternly: "Of course not. If I lie even half a word, I will be struck by lightning and die." Thunder will strike. Anyway, he has sworn more than one poisonous oath.
However, Mrs.
, stop running around." The subtext is, don't even think about looking for Ye Qinglan during these few days.
Ye Yuanzhou naturally understood the implication of Xue's words and immediately nodded in agreement. Seeing that he agreed so straightforwardly, Xue's mood finally improved, and after a few words of comfort, he planned to leave.
"Mother," Ye Yuanzhou unexpectedly stopped her: "There is something I want to ask you."
Mr. Xue smiled gently and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."
Ye Yuanzhou came up with the speech he had prepared: "Cousin Xue has always liked Sanmei. Mother should know about this!"
Mrs.
Among these "one by one", the one that caused her the most headache and distress was Ye Yuanzhou. As for Xue Yushu... no matter how unsatisfactory he was, he was still her nephew. In the future, he would have to marry a nephew who liked him. She didn't want that to happen.
Ye Qinglan married Xue Yu, otherwise she would be unhappy even with her future interactions. It would be better to send Ye Qinglan away to marry far away, and it would be better if she would not have the chance to appear in front of her again...
