Xue was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke, but there was nothing she could do.
This Ruomei is the maid that Gu Xiyu gave to Ye Qinglan. The deed of betrayal is still with Gu Xiyu, and she may go back to Duke Ding's mansion at some time. She doesn't have the right to punish Ruomei even if she wants to. Let alone selling her, she can even beat her.
Can't beat...
Ms. Xue gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "I have said everything I should say. Listen to me. You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Stay in the house with me."
Stay here well. Follow me to Shangshu Mansion tomorrow."
"Mother!" Ye Yuanzhou was shocked: "You..."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue didn't even listen this time, and just snorted and walked away. After walking a few steps, seeing that Ye Yuanzhou didn't follow, she glared at him again: "Don't go back with me yet!"
Ye Yuanzhou followed helplessly, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan before leaving.
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed with anger, but her expression became more and more solemn. The slightly sickly pale color revealed a firmness and coldness, exuding amazing beauty! That pretty face was familiar yet so strange...
…
Ye Yuanzhou couldn't explain what he was feeling for a moment, and left with Xue in a sad tone.
As soon as the two left, Ye Qinglan immediately looked at Ruomei eagerly.
Ruomei's cheeks were red and swollen, and her fingerprints were clearly visible. Ye Qinglan felt distressed and guilty, and sighed: "Ruomei, this slap was originally meant for me, why do you have to suffer this for me? She looked red again
It’s swollen, it must be very painful!”
"Young lady has a delicate body and is sick, how can she bear such a slap in the face." Ruomei smiled calmly and calmly: "My slave has a rough skin and thick flesh. A slap in the face is not a big deal." After a pause, she smiled again.
He said: "The master ordered his servant to protect the young lady. This is the servant's duty. The young lady does not have to worry about it."
How could Ye Qinglan not mind?
It was really uncomfortable to have someone else suffer it on her behalf. It also made her deeply aware of her previous overconfidence. She thought that as long as she told Ye Chengli about the matter, it would be resolved safely, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect, arousing Xue's anger.
Anger. Now that the situation has reached this point, it is just too much to hope for a peaceful ending...
Seeing Ye Qinglan's frown, Ruomei seemed to have guessed what she was worried about. Suddenly she whispered: "Miss, I have made my own decision and have already told the young master about this matter."
Ye Qinglan was startled: "When did you tell him?"
Ruomei responded respectfully: "Just yesterday, the young master should have seen the note sent back by the slave in the evening. Please rest assured, young lady, the young master will definitely come up with a way to save the young lady." Her tone was full of confidence.
Ye Qinglan's restless heart gradually calmed down. Yes, Gu Xinian already knew the predicament she was in. He would definitely find a way to solve the matter.
Perhaps, before she realized it, she was trusting Gu Xinian more and more...
Ruomei was secretly happy in her heart. Ye Qinglan had always been very unhappy about the fact that she secretly conveyed the news to the young master. In normal times, she would have been punished. But this time, instead of being angry, Ye Qinglan was not angry.
He acted very calmly. It seems that in Ye Qinglan's heart, the weight of the young master is getting heavier and heavier...
When Ruixue walked in, she was startled by the fingerprints on Ruomei's face: "Ruomei, what's wrong with your face?"
Ruomei responded lightly: "My wife was unhappy just now and got angry at the young lady, so I slapped her in the face for the young lady."
The more Ruixue listened, the more frightened she became. The fingerprints on Ruomei's face were very clear, and one could imagine how angry the wife had been. Fortunately, Ruomei was in the way, otherwise the lady would have been slapped!
"Miss, what happened?" Rui Xue had a delicate mind and quickly noticed something was wrong: "My wife just called the young master away. Why did she come back so soon and lose her temper with you?"
When the matter has reached this point, there is no need to hide it from Ruixue anymore. Ye Qinglan simply told the whole story: "...My mother received a letter from my father and knew that I was sick on purpose, so she became furious."
Ruomei sighed and took over the conversation: "Madam also said that she will take the young lady to the Minister's Mansion tomorrow."
Ruixue's face changed again and again, and when she heard this sentence, her face lost all color. No wonder the young lady's illness kept coming back and forth, no wonder the wife was so abnormally concerned about the young lady's condition... It turned out that only then
It’s the cruel truth! The wife actually wants to betroth the young lady to a medicine jar that lies in the hospital bed all day long!
The more Ruixue thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She couldn't help wiping her tears and said with a choked voice: "Miss, what should I do next? I can't really follow my wife to the Minister's Mansion tomorrow!" No matter whether the marriage is successful or not,
The lady's reputation will be greatly affected.
Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, there will be a way to deal with it." Gu Xinian will definitely try his best to save her. To say the least, even if it can't be solved immediately, she is not a piece of dough that can be kneaded by others.
If she was really forced to go to Shangshu's Mansion, she would have plenty of ways to make Madam Ma and Lu Shangshu dislike her.
In the end, it's just more rumors. How much this kind of thing hurts a person depends entirely on whether he cares about it.
Ye Qinglan's calmness infected Rui Xue. Rui Xue wiped her tears with her sleeves and asked with red eyes: "Miss, the medicine has been prepared. The slave will bring it to you right away."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded. The cold was actually because she delayed it on purpose, so she didn't recover over and over again. Now that it has gotten to this point, there is no point in continuing to be sick.
After taking the medicine, I had lunch, and then slept soundly all afternoon. At night, I felt much better.
During this period, Ruixue tried to leave the Hefeng Courtyard, but the woman guarding the door stopped her. The woman said very directly: "My wife has ordered that no one around the third lady is allowed to leave the Hefeng Courtyard."
Obviously, Mrs. Xue was worried that Ye Qinglan would send her maid to plead with Mrs. Zheng. In fact, Ruixue did have the same intention. Unfortunately, she was stopped.
Ruomei is also secretly worried. If she can't get out of Hefeng Courtyard, she won't be able to contact the secret guards outside the house. She doesn't know what the master's arrangement is...
At midnight, everyone in the courtyard had rested. Ruomei quietly left the house. The courtyard door had already been locked, and the woman guarding the door was dozing off with half-closed eyes.
Joume specially walked around a secluded wall, and then climbed out of the wall neatly and silently. Then the figure disappeared into the dark night. This series of actions was done cleanly and neatly, making almost no sound. The woman guarding the door did not notice anything at all.
.
Ye Qinglan drank another large bowl of hot medicine, sat under the lamp and read casual books to pass the time. It seemed leisurely, but actually she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Ruomei has been out for so long, why haven't she come back yet?
Ruixue walked over lightly and whispered: "Miss, it's so late, it's time to rest."
Ye Qinglan smiled lightly and said, "You go back and have a rest first! I'll go to bed later." How could Ruomei sleep peacefully until she came back?
Seeing that she was extremely insistent, Ruixue had no choice but to agree and retreat.
Ye Qinglan waited for a long time before she heard the door being pushed open gently. Ruomei walked in with a smile on her face and thrust a paper roll into Ye Qinglan's hand.
This was naturally the news from Gu Xinian.
Ye Qinglan perked up and hurriedly unfolded the note and looked at it intently. There were only a few words on the note: Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you!
That kind of arrogant and naturally domineering tone is indeed Gu Xinian's style! But it makes people feel inexplicably reassured.
The corners of Ye Qinglan's lips raised slightly, and her heart suddenly calmed down completely.
Ruomei didn't dare to peek at the contents of the note. When she saw the smile on Ye Qinglan's lips, she boldly asked, "Did the young master tell the young lady any countermeasures?"
Ye Qinglan smiled: "He didn't say anything, he just told me not to worry."
Ruomei laughed dumbly. This is indeed the style of the young master! Since the young master told the young lady not to worry, there must be a countermeasure. She, a little secret guard, does not need to worry too much.
The next morning, when Ye Qinglan got up, she felt refreshed and her illness was mostly recovered. Just as she was about to dress up, Hongyun, the maid next to Xue, came, holding a brand new dress and a set of exquisite head and face jewelry: "Miss,
The wife asked the slaves to bring her clothes and jewelry, and also asked the young lady to dress up early."
Neither Ruixue nor Ruomei looked very good-looking.
Mrs. Xue was so aggressive. She even prepared clothes and jewelry. She was obviously determined to take Ye Qinglan to the Shangshu Mansion.
Ye Qinglan was very calm and said with a faint smile: "Okay, you can tell mother for me and tell me that I will dress up now. It will only take half an hour at most."
Hongyun was a little surprised. Xue was secretive before, but after losing her temper yesterday, almost all the servants in the yard knew Xue's plan. She thought that the third lady would definitely hide in the room and cry and be sad.
I didn't expect her to be so calm.
Thinking of this, Hongyun showed a little more respect to this third lady, bowed her knees, and then left.
Ruixue looked at the exquisite dresses and jewelry angrily: "Madam, this is too much!"
Ye Qinglan only smiled calmly: "Okay, we don't have much time, please help me change my clothes and make up first!"
What Ms.
It was a little pale, and I applied a little bit of powder.
The girl in the mirror has clear and soft eyebrows, and a slight smile on her lips, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Ruixue and Ruomei looked at each other and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Is it true that they can't avoid going to Shangshu Mansion today?
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath and led Ruixue and Ruomei to pay respects to Mr. Xue. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
