No wonder Mrs. Xue pretended to make new clothes for her today. She wanted to take her to the Shangshu Mansion so that Mrs. Ma and Lu Shangshu could meet each other. If someone falls in love with her, it seems that she will be packed up and married off.
Went to Shangshu Mansion...
Ye Qinglan has never felt such hatred and gnashing of teeth. Fortunately, Cui Wan informed her in time. If she was really plotted by Xue, she would be passive. In any case, Xue is her aunt.
Due to the convenience of her status, she, as a concubine, can fight with her aunt-in-law on other matters. In fact, she has no say at all in matters of marriage!
Cui Wan thought for a while and gave Ye Qinglan an idea: "There are still a few days anyway, so you might as well pretend to be sick."
"That's inappropriate." Ye Qinglan frowned: "You can only hide for a while by pretending to be sick." Even if she is "sick" these days, she can't stay sick forever. When she gets better, Mr. Xue still insists on taking her there.
Shang Shufu, what should we do?
Cui Wan had no idea, and looked sad: "What should we do?"
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "There are still a few days, and we can always think of a way. By the way, cousin, I want to ask you for a favor. I want to write a letter to my father. Please send someone to replace me."
I'll send it to Zhengzhou." Now the only choice is to ask Ye Chengli for help. As long as Ye Chengli doesn't nod, Mrs. Xue can't think of arbitrarily arranging her marriage. However, this letter must not be seen by Mrs. Xue, so she can only ask Cui Wan for help.
Cui Wan agreed without saying a word: "Without further delay, you should write a letter now. Don't go back to Hefeng Courtyard. Go to your cousin's study. There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones ready."
Ye Qinglan had no intention of being polite to her, and immediately nodded in agreement. She sat at the desk and pondered for a while. Ye Qinglan just started to write this letter, which was naturally filled with tears and miserable. After she finished writing, she deliberately dropped the last two lines.
Some water looked like tears dripping on the letter. As long as Ye Chengli still had some conscience as a father, he couldn't remain indifferent!
After the letter was written, Cui Wan immediately ordered someone to summon the servants in the mansion who were specialized in delivering letters, and repeatedly warned: "Ride the fastest horse in the mansion, and the letter must be delivered within two days. The letter must be delivered in person."
Leave it to the third master. If the third master has a reply, just wait until you get the reply and then rush back." After giving the instructions, he also specially rewarded the seal with two taels of silver.
The servant happily accepted the order and went away.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Ye Qinglan thanked her sincerely.
Cui Wan said angrily: "How can you be polite to me? Although I have already sent a letter to Third Uncle, it will take at least four or five days for this trip. I am afraid that Third Aunt will take you to Shangshu in these few days.
If the news spreads, it will not be good for your reputation. You'd better think of some countermeasures."
Ye Qinglan nodded silently and quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind. But after much deliberation, there was no good solution. It seemed that he could only use Cui Wan's previous method of pretending to be sick for a few days. At least it could delay it for a while.
When Ye Chengli received a reply, Mr. Xue would no longer dare to plot against her so brazenly...
Of course, it is not easy to pretend to be sick and deceive the shrewd Mr.
Soft and dizzy.
When Rui Xue came to help Ye Qinglan change and freshen up, she was startled by Ye Qinglan's pale face. She asked anxiously: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qinglan didn't have to pretend to be very weak: "My head is a little dizzy, maybe I caught a cold."
Ruixue was worried and anxious at the same time: "I will go and report to the madam right now and ask a doctor to come and take a look at the lady."
But Ye Qinglan said: "I'd better go and say hello to my mother first!" She looked like this, and she had to show up in front of Mr. Xue, so that Mr. Xue could see with her own eyes that she was really sick.
When Ye Qinglan appeared in front of Mrs. Xue with a haggard and sick look, Mrs. Xue was startled at first. Then she frowned: "You were fine yesterday, why are you sick today?" There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Ye Qinglan sneered secretly in her heart, but her face still looked pitifully sick: "Maybe I kicked off the quilt when I went to bed last night, so I caught a cold."
It was such a coincidence that this disease came about! The coincidence made Xue have to wonder if Ye Qinglan knew something, so she deliberately pretended to be sick.
"Since you're not feeling well, just take a good rest in the house for the next two days." Ms. Xue said calmly, and sent the housekeeper aside to ask for a doctor. She wanted to see today whether Ye Qinglan was really sick or was pretending to be sick!
Fortunately, Ye Qinglan's disease was confirmed. The doctor with the goat's beard looked around and said, "Miss Ten is suffering from cold and needs to take good rest. I will prescribe another medicine and it will take effect in a few days."
He is really sick!
Xue's suspicions had finally gone away, and she had no interest in staying any longer. She casually said, "You can just rest in peace for the next few days, and there is no need to ask for permission." It seems that she can only wait until Ye Qinglan gets better before going.
Shangshu Mansion is a "guest".
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully, and then watched Mrs.
However, when Guiyuan came over attentively with the dark and steaming decoction, Ye Qinglan couldn't laugh anymore, and discussed with a bitter face: "Guiyuan, can I drink it later?" He drank it continuously last year.
She took the medicine for three months, which made her want to vomit when she saw the decoction.
Guiyuan's attitude was very resolute: "The decoction will not be as effective when it is cold. Miss, you should drink it while it is hot!" After saying that, he brought the decoction in front of Ye Qinglan, and diligently took a spoonful and put it to Ye Qinglan's lips.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to open her mouth and drink the medicine. The warm and bitter liquid slid down her throat, and the taste was really profound!
After finally finishing the whole bowl of medicine, Ye Qinglan's face turned into a ball of bitterness. Ruixue hurriedly brought some candied fruits, and Ye Qinglan ate several in a row, and the bitter taste in her mouth finally faded a lot. She felt tired again.
I slept for a whole afternoon. When I woke up, I felt much better than before.
The maids were very happy, but Ye Qinglan frowned secretly. If this continues, I'm afraid it will take less than two or three days to recover. No, it can't be cured so fast!
So, that night, Ye Qinglan quietly stood by the window and blew the cold wind... After such a torment, her condition became worse the next day. After repeating this for several days, her health naturally continued to deteriorate.
Not to mention that Mrs.
Ye Qingfu had nothing to do and came to visit every day. However, she hated the strong smell of medicine and would only sit there for a while before leaving.
Cui Wan also came every day. She knew very well why Ye Qinglan was sick. Seeing that Ye Qinglan had tormented her so badly, she couldn't bear it. She couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "You are really so cruel to me."
What to do? Just pretend."
Ye Qinglan smiled casually and said: "You can't fool your mother by pretending. You don't know that as soon as I said I didn't feel well, she immediately asked a doctor to come and see me." If he was pretending to be sick, he would have been exposed long ago.
.
Cui Wan was speechless, and after a while she said, "How long will you be sick?"
"At least we have to wait until father's reply arrives." Ye Qinglan has obviously already gone through the process of deep thought: "However, I don't know what father's attitude is, so I'll wait and continue to be sick for a while."
Cui Wan didn't know what to say. She let out a long sigh and reached out to hold Ye Qinglan's slightly cold hand. Her heart was full of pity. Such a kind-hearted and lovely girl like Huizhilan was a concubine, and she had Xue Qinglan.
Such a legitimate mother...
Instead, Ye Qinglan smiled and comforted Cui Wanlai: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll be fine."
Cui Wan cheered up, nodded with a smile, and whispered: "I asked your cousin to inquire. I heard that Mrs. Ma wanted to arrange a marriage for Lu Yi before. But no one is willing to give up their legitimate daughter.
Marrying a sick man, Mrs. Ma had no choice but to do the next best thing and marry two concubine ladies. She was happy with it, but she also disliked the two concubine ladies for not being outstanding enough."
As a result, when I saw Ye Qinglan in Cui Mansion later, I fell in love with her at first sight. I happened to hit it off with Xue, who was full of bad intentions.
Cui Wan became more and more angry as she spoke, and her voice gradually became louder: "This Mrs. Ma has gone too far. She clearly knows that her son is a sick man with a short life span, yet she still wants to harm someone else's daughter!"
Ye Qinglan was calm: "It is normal for mothers to be selfish. It is precisely because Lu Yi is frail and sick that Mrs. Ma feels sorry for him even more. She wants to choose a good wife for him. This feeling is understandable."
However, understanding is understanding, and she has no intention of sacrificing herself to fulfill others!
Cui Wan looked at Ye Qinglan, who had a calm and gentle expression, and suddenly sighed: "She doesn't like anyone, but she likes you..."
Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows and laughed at herself: "Who makes me look so good that everyone likes me!"
Cui Wan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this.
The two of them were whispering in the room, but Ruomei, who was standing outside the door, frowned. After special training, her ears were very sensitive. Even if the two people's voices were low through the door panel, they could still hear ten percent of the sound.
No wonder the young lady's illness is inexplicable and unusually recurring. It turns out there is another reason...for such a big thing, you have to tell the young master as soon as possible!
Ruomei quietly returned to her room, hurriedly wrote a few lines on the note, and then passed the note out in a secretive way.
When Gu Xinian received this note, it was three quarters past midnight that night.
Before, he conspired with the prince on important matters in the prince's palace, drank with a bunch of aides in the prince's palace, and came back after socializing with the prince. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation,
