Chapter Thirty-Three

Second update~o(n_n)o~Please collect and recommend~

The Cui family of Qinghe is a prominent family in the capital. Although they have not been very active in the court in recent years, the family tradition is strict and most of the children in the family have entered officialdom from the imperial examination. They are considered to be well-known scholars.

Cui Wan is the legitimate daughter of the eldest son, and has only one younger brother, Cui Yu, who is a concubine. She is fourteen years old and has just entered the Imperial College this year.

The He family has no children, but is quite fond of this concubine. She has begun to secretly worry about Cui Yu's marriage. Today is Changyuan Uncle Ye Sheng's sixtieth birthday, and almost all the female relatives who came to celebrate his birthday are from prominent families in the capital.

As a housewife, she is accompanied by girls who are in their prime years.

Of course, He was not willing to miss such a good opportunity. A pair of sharp eyes scanned the area like a radar.

Most of the sons-in-law are dignified and unwilling to marry a concubine easily. Most of the sons-in-law are too timid to go on the big stage. After looking around like this, their eyes fell on Ye Qinglan. Although she is a little younger.

, but her appearance is really outstanding, and the smile at the corner of her mouth is even more endearing.

He couldn't help but take another look.

Cui Wan showed a knowing smile. This little cousin is really outstanding. Not to mention men, even women find it pleasing to look at.

Cui Wan thought for a while and whispered: "How about I ask her to come over!"

Mr. He hummed. It looked good from a distance, but of course we had to take a closer look before deliberation.

Ye Qinglan is so keen that she has already noticed that the woman next to Cui Wan is looking at her frequently. The scrutinizing gaze is not malicious, but it is not very comfortable either.

Ye Qinglan turned slightly to the side and calmly avoided the disturbing eyes. Before she could relax, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Ten sisters," Cui Wan walked over with a smile: "It's really boring here, how about you go out with me for a walk?"

Faced with this sudden invitation, Ye Qinglan was startled for a moment, then agreed with a smile.

The two of them are not familiar with each other at all and have not even exchanged a few words. Why did Cui Wan suddenly become so enthusiastic? It seems that there must be something fishy...

The mystery was soon revealed.

Cui Wan pulled her affectionately and walked to the woman who had been sizing her up: "Mom, this is the tenth sister of the third uncle's family."

Before He opened his mouth to speak, Ye Qinglan said happily: "I've met my aunt." After traveling through so many days, the most thing she did was to salute. She could pat her chest and guarantee that she would never make any mistakes.

.

Sure enough, Mr. He's smile showed satisfaction: "No need to be polite." After a pause, he added: "There will be many opportunities to meet in the future!"

What does "there are many opportunities to meet" mean?

Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, but with a docile and well-behaved expression on her face, she followed Cui Wan and her daughter out of Changhe Hall with a smile. She didn't go too far, and wandered around casually for a few steps in the garden outside Changhe Hall.

Cui Wan smiled and talked with Mr. He, and occasionally chatted with Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and tried to answer in one or two words. "Well", "Yes" and "Okay" were the longest ones.

The sentence does not exceed five words.

He was looking at her with that strange look again.

Ye Qinglan felt a little unhappy. She was not a commodity on the shelf. What did He mean by looking at her like she was picking out goods?

However, even though she thought so in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, and her smile even became more gentle and cute. The two small smile dimples on her cheeks were very endearing.

He finally withdrew his gaze and winked at Cui Wan.

Cui Wan immediately understood and said with a smile: "There are so many guests here today. It's not good for us to leave for too long. Let's go back!"

Ye Qinglan nodded and smiled without any objection.

Although she hasn't figured out what Mr. He's intention is, she can be sure that Mr. He will never ask her to come out for a walk for no reason. This attitude is a bit like looking at her daughter-in-law...

etc!

Could it be that Mr. He happened to have an unmarried son?

Ye Qinglan secretly made up her mind to inquire about it later.

Ye Qingning was a little tired from chatting. Occasionally, when he turned around, there was no sign of Ye Qinglan, and he couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Ye Qinglan's figure appeared in front of her, and she called "Sixth Sister" with a smile.

Ye Qingning felt unhappy and didn't have much of a smile on his face: "Where did you go just now?" He left without saying a word. He didn't take her seriously!

Ye Qinglan explained with a helpless smile: "My sister-in-law called me just now and asked me to accompany them for a walk. I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree. You were talking to someone else at the time! I didn't tell you."

they?

Ye Qingning sensitively caught the key words, glanced at He, and suddenly thought of something, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "This is a good thing! Congratulations, Shi Mei!"

Ye Qinglan already had a bad premonition. Looking at Ye Qingning's appearance, there was nothing she didn't understand. She couldn't laugh or cry.

She guessed her feelings, and He really wanted to see each other!

Ye Qinglan's helpless expression greatly pleased Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning suppressed his laughter and comforted him in a low voice: "Okay, don't worry. I also know some things about my sister-in-law's family. I heard that she has a younger brother who is a concubine, and I

About the same age. My sister-in-law specifically called you over just now, probably because she wanted Mrs. He to take a good look at you. If you fall in love with her, you won't have to worry about marriage in the future."

"Sixth sister!" Ye Qinglan blushed and said softly, clearly showing the shyness and uneasiness of a young girl.

Her acting skills are so great! Ye Qinglan boasted in her heart without blushing. It was a big loss to the entertainment industry that she didn't become an actor back then!

Ye Qingning was amused again. The distance between the two suddenly became much closer.

While they were laughing, Dong Yan, the maid next to Zheng, came over.

Dongyan is about sixteen years old, and her appearance is not too outstanding, above average at most. However, there is a calmness and demeanor in her movements that ordinary maids don't have: "Miss Qi, Madam, please come over."

Ye Qingning hummed.

Ye Qinglan was hesitating whether to follow her brazenly, when Dong Yan said with a smile: "Miss Ten, my wife is asking you to come over too!"

Just right!

Ye Qinglan agreed with a smile, and walked over with Ye Qingning.

After a long distance, he saw a bunch of people around Zheng. Ye Qingning glanced casually at first, not knowing who he saw, and his steps suddenly stopped.

Ye Qinglan followed her gaze and looked over.

Standing next to Mrs. Zheng was a graceful and elegant woman, with a face that was 45% similar to hers. It seemed that this woman was Mrs. Zheng's biological sister, who later married into the Duke of Dingguo's palace.

Why was Ye Qingning so excited when he saw his biological aunt?
