The guests should have almost arrived. The sound of firecrackers is the prelude to the luncheon that is about to begin.
Ye Qingning coughed and said with a smile: "It's getting late, we should go to Changhe Hall."
Gu Xinian nodded and looked at Gu Xiyu.
Gu Xiyu's body trembled, her big eyes were full of fear, her face turned pale, and she unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hands, as if she was going to faint at any moment.
If he insists on taking her to Changhe Hall for a banquet, she will definitely be frightened. But if she doesn't go, what should she do next?
Gu Xinian hesitated for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "Cousin Qingning, you go back first! I'll stay here with Yu'er."
Ye Qingning was reluctant to leave, but he couldn't miss the birthday banquet. He hesitated and said, "How about I stay with my cousin Xiyu."
Gu Xinian smiled lightly and said: "No need, just have me here to accompany her." Although his tone was indifferent, there was a faint power that could not be refused.
Ye Qingning wanted to say something else, but Gu Xinian lowered his head and said softly to Gu Xiyu: "Yu'er, if you don't want to go there, I won't go either. I'll stay with you."
Gu Xiyu's hurried expression relaxed slightly and nodded slightly.
Ye Qinglan finally woke up from the shock of their first meeting, and secretly felt sorry for Gu Xiyu. Such a beautiful girl suffered from autism...
The most common symptom of autistic patients is that they are withdrawn and talk little, and refuse to interact with others. More seriously, their intelligence and psychological development are not perfect. Gu Xiyu is already a girl of thirteen or fourteen, but she behaves like a five-year-old.
The six-year-old child appears to be an average child with severe autism.
If such patients were treated in modern times and combined with Western medicine and psychological treatment, there would be some hope of being cured. At least there would be some improvement. But in this day and age, doctors probably don’t even understand what autism is, let alone what it is.
Got treatment.
Furthermore, Gu Xiyu is the daughter of a dignified prince. Even if her temperament is different from ordinary people, no one dares to tell it. Naturally, her family members are not willing to think about the worst. As a result, Gu Xiyu's condition is ignored.
The delay has become more and more serious...
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but sigh softly, her eyes wandered on Gu Xiyu's downcast face, and then suddenly met a pair of eyes. In the short moment when their eyes met, Ye Qinglan's heart beat a few times uncontrollably.
Down.
Those deep eyes are like a bottomless spring, making people unconsciously intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
This is purely an instinctive reaction of the body, just like when a man sees a sexy and beautiful woman, he will always be distraught and find it difficult to restrain himself.
Therefore, Ye Qinglan quickly forgave herself for her momentary absence, and even took the opportunity to take a few more glances.
Fortunately, Gu Xinian quickly looked away and looked at Ye Qingning: "Cousin Qingning, it's getting late, you should go back first! My aunt must have sent people everywhere to look for you."
Ye Qingning had no choice but to agree, glanced at Gu Xinian reluctantly, and then turned and left.
Ye Qinglan wisely acted as the background of the event, and left gracefully with Ye Qingning. Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at Gu Xinian.
At a quick glance, I could only see Gu Xinian's profile.
He lowered his head and said something patiently, with the corners of his lips raised slightly, like an exquisite and beautiful ink painting.
Ye Qinglan secretly praised it in her heart and then looked away.
However, Ye Qingning was obviously distracted. He didn't speak during the whole journey. The expression on his face was changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.
At this moment, Ye Qinglan could understand Ye Qingning's feelings very well. With a man like Gu Xinian around, Zheng Junyan suddenly felt a lot gloomier. However, Zheng planned to discuss their marriage with her brother and sister-in-law today...
Soon we arrived at Changhe Hall.
Ye Qinglan quietly tugged on Ye Qingning's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Sixth sister, let's go find the eldest aunt first!"
Ye Qingning finally came back to his senses, cheered up and responded with a smile.
Today there were twenty banquets for the birthday banquet, ten for men, which were set up in Changhe Hall. There were also ten seats for women, but they were set up in the flower hall. There were about eight to nine people at each table.
The table had already been arranged, and the ladies each led their daughters to sit down, chatting and laughing.
Mrs. Zheng was secretly anxious, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan coming together. Before she could speak, Mrs. Zheng on the side asked anxiously: "Where is Xi Yuxi? Why didn't you come with us?
?Did you not find them?"
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "We found them by the lotus pond. However, cousin Xiyu refused to come over. My cousin had to stay with her..."
Mrs. Zheng's face turned dark indeed, and she sighed softly.
The Duke of Dingguo's house has a prosperous family of heirs. There are six cousins in Gu Xinian's generation, but there is only one legitimate daughter, Gu Xiyu. As a mother, she is loved like a treasure, and everyone in the house is eager to hold Gu Xiyu in their hands.
It’s good to have love in the palm of your hand.
But Gu Xiyu has been very withdrawn since she was a child and doesn't like to talk. She stays in her boudoir all day without leaving home. In the past two years, it has become even worse, and she even refuses to see anyone.
I thought that taking her out today would help her make more friends. I didn't expect that it would be such an embarrassing situation...
Seeing her gloomy expression, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly whispered: "Xiyu is still young, don't force her for now. She will naturally get better in the future."
Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly: "She is only one year younger than Ning'er, and she is not a child anymore. It's always like this, how can I not be anxious." She has reached the age of talking about marriage, but she still has such a temper. What should I do in the future?
manage?
Zheng could naturally guess what she was thinking, and sighed along with her. Then she cheered up and said with a smile: "It's not good to stay by the lotus pond all the time. How about this, I'll send someone to the lotus pond and take them two to Luomei."
Please find a quiet guest room for Xiyu in the hospital and send some food over."
That’s all we have to do! Mrs. Zheng nodded.
Mrs. Zheng winked at Dongyan. Dongyan understood immediately and left quietly.
Ye Qingning listened to what the two said and his expression moved. However, Zheng glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and only Ye Qingning could understand the deep meaning.
Ye Qingning looked away as if nothing had happened, and said to Ye Qinglan with a smile: "Tenth sister, let's go sit over with the eighth cousin!"
Ye Qinglan happily agreed.
The two of them walked to the table together, looking very intimate, like a pair of sisters who have a great relationship.
Ye Qingfu was filled with jealousy and glared at Ye Qinglan angrily. The people who followed Ye Qingning were all the rich ladies from the top aristocrats and famous families.
This damn girl, who usually kept quiet, somehow managed to coax Ye Qingning into a coax.
Ye Qinglan didn't even look at her. After sitting down with a smile, she kept chatting and laughing with Ye Qingning in a low voice.
