It was Gu Xinian who was back! I don't know how much he heard, but his face was gloomy and very ugly.
Mo Xiang perked up and immediately repeated what she had just said.
Mrs. Zheng turned pale with anger, but Gu Xinian slowly calmed down and asked calmly: "Did Yu'er really say that?"
Mo Xiang nodded and said with a hint of pride: "Miss has always been very calm, not nervous or afraid at all. In just a few words, that young master Xie was speechless."
Mrs. Zheng composed herself and asked uncertainly: "Mo Xiang, did you remember correctly?" If it was Ye Qinglan, how could Yu'er, who had always been delicate and introverted, behave like this?
Mo Xiang nodded affirmatively: "I was present at the time and saw clearly. I definitely remember it correctly."
Mrs. Zheng was both happy and sad. Gu Xiyu finally grew up and knew how to protect herself...
Gu Xinian's anger also subsided a lot, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. No one knew better than him how valuable the changes in Gu Xiyu were. All of this was due to Ye Qinglan!
Mrs. Zheng suddenly stood up: "I'm going to Shunyi Hall to talk to my mother-in-law about what happened today." Mrs. Sun usually doted on Gu Yongnian the most and spoiled him with all kinds of problems. Now it's better,
She actually led an outsider to see Gu Xiyu for a mere oriole! She had to go talk to Mrs. Sun!
"Mother, wait a minute." Gu Xinian suddenly opened his mouth slowly: "Don't disturb grandma for such a trivial matter."
Mrs. Zheng was startled and glanced at Gu Xinian: "Then let's not talk about it? Didn't Yu'er suffer in vain? Yongnian must be taught a lesson no matter what!"
Gu Xinian smiled lightly: "Leave this matter to me! I will talk to him carefully." I promised him to reflect on his behavior. There will never be a second time!
Mrs. Zheng thought about it and nodded in agreement. Even if this kind of thing happened in front of Mr. Sun, Ms. Sun would just scold Gu Yongnian indifferently. It would be better to let Gu Xinian come forward and let the cousins talk privately.
On the contrary, it is convenient.
Mo Xiang lowered his head silently. Seventh Young Master, please wish yourself well...
Familiar footsteps sounded at the door, as well as a girl's chuckle.
Gu Xinian's heart moved, and he raised his head and looked over. When he met those smiling eyes, his mood suddenly improved. But the scene he met in the teahouse yesterday came to his mind at an inappropriate time, and he was slightly aroused.
The corners of his lips suddenly tightened again calmly.
Ye Qinglan is the best at observing words and expressions, so naturally she did not miss the subtle expression on Gu Xinian's face, and secretly thought something was wrong. This is indeed a man who is petty and unforgiving, and he still hasn't calmed down yet...
Mrs. Zheng came over and looked at Gu Xiyu for a few times. Seeing that Gu Xiyu's face was calm, she felt relieved: "Yu'er, you are not scared today, are you?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head: "Don't worry, mother, I'm not so timid now."
Ye Qinglan also smiled and said: "Yes, it's a pity that none of you were there at the time and didn't see how powerful cousin Xiyu is. The person named Xie who said it in just a few words was blushing. It's so relieved!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt extremely happy and happy, and she was busy in the kitchen preparing meals.
Gu Xinian also came over. He looked at Gu Xiyu briefly and said with a smile: "Yu'er has indeed become much braver."
Gu Xiyu was praised by everyone in turn, and she felt a little proud in her heart, smiling with a crooked smile.
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan again, and said with a half-smile: "Yu'er can be where she is today, thanks to cousin Lan."
...If you ignore Gu Xinian's expression, these words sound quite sincere. Ye Qinglan responded with a smile: "Cousin Gu said that. I'm really ashamed of myself."
Because everyone was present, the conversation between the two was limited to this sentence. After that, there was basically no chance to speak.
After Gu Hong came back, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but tell her what happened in the afternoon again. Gu Hong felt angry after hearing this, and slammed the table: "This Yongnian is so outrageous!"
Mrs. Zheng sighed: "It's not because my mother-in-law has been spoiling him that she got used to his problems."
The son did not say anything about his mother's fault. When Gu Hong heard this, he immediately fell silent. There is no doubt about Sun's preference for Gu Yongnian. Gu Yongnian lost his mother in his early years and has been raised under Sun's knees.
Doting. After the second brother Gu Bo left the capital to work in other places, the Sun family became more and more doting on Gu Yongnian.
Although he felt it was inappropriate, he couldn't say more. If he wanted to teach Gu Yongnian a lesson, it was his biological father Gu Bo who should teach him a lesson. As an uncle, he said too much, which was not good. Besides, Gu Yongnian was also quick.
When someone gets married, you have to save some face for him...
Mrs. Zheng rambled on for a few more words, but seeing that Gu Hong remained silent, she had no choice but to stop talking.
After dinner, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu returned to Lengyue Pavilion together.
Gu Xinian followed unhurriedly, saying nothing all the way. Then he followed naturally to Lengyue Pavilion. There were several candlesticks burning in the side hall. The light was naturally not as good as during the day, but it also had a peaceful and gentle feel.
Under the warm candlelight, Ye Qinglan, who was wearing a pink dress, had soft eyebrows and looked extremely delicate. She was talking to Gu Xiyu in a low voice with her face turned sideways, and then she laughed softly. The corners of her lips raised a curve.
Gu Xinian looked at her quietly, and unconsciously raised the corners of his lips. But the anger still lingered, and he quickly tightened the corners of his lips again, thinking quickly in his mind about finding a reason to get away from Gu Xi.
Jade.
Gu Xiyu happened to look over, her eyes a little strange.
Gu Xinian was stunned for a rare moment, then asked with a smile: "Yu'er, do you have anything to say to me?"
Gu Xiyu continued to look at him with that strange look: "Brother, you should have something to say to me, right? At this time, shouldn't you let me stay away and talk to Cousin Lan alone?"
Gu Xinian: "..."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Gu Xinian, who had always been calm and composed, was rarely embarrassed. Ye Qinglan, who was eloquent and articulate, also felt that her face was a little hot and she didn't know what to say.
Gu Xiyu is really a very contradictory girl. Sometimes she is extremely slow, but sometimes she is extremely sensitive and has very keen intuition.
Sure enough, Gu Xinian was the thicker one and came to his senses earlier than Ye Qinglan. He looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile: "Yu'er has grown up and is becoming more and more considerate."
Gu Xiyu was very happy to be praised and said with a smile: "I will go back to the house for a while. By the way, brother, you must not bully Cousin Lan."
Gu Xinian: "..."
Gu Xiyu quickly got up and left. Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan were left sitting opposite each other. They both had a lot to say, but because of the little episode just now, they felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything.
.
Time passed by bit by bit.
There is very little time for the two of them to be alone, so it would be a pity to waste it like this! Ye Qinglan decided to break the silence: "I yesterday..."
Unexpectedly, Gu Xinian also opened his mouth at the same time: "You yesterday..."
The two of them opened their mouths in unison, which was even more neat than promised.
The two of them looked at each other, and the previous awkwardness disappeared. After all, the two of them were basically similar in terms of thickness of their skin, and they quickly put that little episode behind them.
"Why did you leave the house with Ye Yuanzhou and Xue Yushu yesterday?" Gu Xinian asked first with a cold face.
Ye Qinglan explained with an innocent face: "The eldest brother and cousin have already told my father, and the second sister is also going with them. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I don't go? And we agreed that we would only go for half a day, shopping for books and shops.
I'll go back to the teahouse." Besides, who would have thought that I would meet him after sneaking out of the house once...
Gu Xinian seemed to have heard the subtext in her heart and snorted coldly: "Your courage is really admirable!" One was her brother who had evil intentions towards her, and the other was her fiancé from the previous life. It was better for her,
Just like that, they followed them out of the house together!
What's even more annoying is that she actually wants to hide after seeing him...
Ye Qinglan had to deal with the mistake first and had to smile: "If my eldest brother or my cousin asked me to leave the house alone, I would naturally avoid suspicion. Since there are many people, it doesn't matter. You sir have a lot of people, so don't always worry about such trivial matters.
.”
Gu Xinian glanced at him sideways and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry. I'm a naturally petty person, and I'm always willing to spend money, so I let Cousin Lan down."
…
Ye Qinglan's patience officially ran out: "It's enough for you to be jealous!"
Gu Xinian glanced at her sideways and said calmly: "Who told you that I was jealous?"
"If you're not jealous, why are you so fussy about it?" Ye Qinglan also glanced back sideways. No, he was taller than her, even when he was sitting, he was much taller. Looking at him like this was too unimpressive.
Ye Qinglan simply stood up and finally found the feeling of being condescending: "Do you really think I am just hanging out with them?"
Gu Xinian snorted coldly: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Ye Qinglan did not explain much, but changed the topic: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you. My cousin and second sister are getting engaged."
What?
Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan in astonishment and was speechless for a long time.
It was rare to appreciate Gu Xinian's expression, so Ye Qinglan naturally didn't want to miss it, so she sat back down again and pretended to be indifferent: "You don't have to doubt your ears, what I told is the truth. In less than a month, I will tell the truth."
The news of my brother and second sister’s engagement will spread soon.”
Gu Xinian composed himself and his mind raced rapidly: "Xue Yushu likes you, so how could he suddenly get engaged to Ye Qingfu? Moreover, with the temperament of your aunt, you would not be willing to promise your daughter to Xue Yushu. Unless
Something happened that forced your parents to nod."
At this point, I suddenly realized something and looked straight at Ye Qinglan: "Did Xue Yushu and Ye Qingfu get caught alone in a room?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome.
