Seeing that the situation was not good, Ruomei hurriedly followed.
Ruixue thought for a moment, then quietly retreated. No matter how smart and articulate the young lady is, she will inevitably suffer a loss against Xue. The most important thing now is to move reinforcements. There are many rescuers in the entire mansion who are capable of saving the situation.
But there are definitely not many people who are willing to come to the rescue. After much deliberation, the only choice is to go to Qinfang Garden to find Cui Wan...
Ruixue was so anxious that she ran all the way to Qinfang Garden.
When Cui Wan saw her coming, she was very surprised: "Didn't you follow the tenth sister into the palace? Why did you come back so soon?" The news in the morning had already spread throughout the Changyuan residence. Although Cui Wan was not present,
But he also knew it clearly.
Ruixue was too anxious to explain, and begged: "Young mistress, please go and save our young lady!"
Cui Wan was immediately moved: "What is going on?"
"I'll talk to you while I'm walking!" Ruixue begged anxiously. Cui Wan agreed without saying a word. Following Ruixue out of Qinfang Garden, she hurried to Hefeng Garden. Ruixue explained the matter simply.
: "...the madam originally planned to take the young lady to the Minister's Mansion today, but before leaving, someone from the palace came and took the young lady to the palace. The madam's wishful thinking did not work out, so she got angry with the young lady. As soon as the young lady came back, the madam
He scolded her severely..."
The more Cui Wan listened, the more angry she became, her brows furrowed tightly, and she speeded up her pace unconsciously.
At this time, Ye Qinglan was facing Mr. Xue's angry face and a series of questions: "...what did the Queen say to you in the palace today? Did she say that she would arrange a marriage for you? The other party
Who is it?"
Ye Qinglan insisted that she didn't know: "I really don't know what my mother asked about. I have said it many times just now. The Queen only asked my name and age, and didn't say anything else. As for what it means to be married.
I don’t even know anything about it.”
Mr. Xue sneered again and again: "Okay, okay, since you don't know anything, then I won't ask. That's it for today. Come with me to the Shangshu Mansion tomorrow!" He said it categorically, but in fact, he was stern. To put it bluntly,
, it’s just a paper tiger showing its teeth and claws.
Empress Gu summoned her to the palace, and the underlying meaning was very obvious. No matter how courageous Mr. Xue was, she would never dare to take advantage of Ye Qinglan before the situation was clear. To say the least, even if Ms. Xue had the courage, Ma
Mrs. Xue must be worried. Anyone with any brains would never do such a thing to anger Empress Gu over a daughter-in-law. By saying this, Mr. Xue made it clear that he was deliberately trying to scare her, just to force her to
Just point out who the marriage partner is.
Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips. A clear hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, but she said nothing.
Seeing her reaction, Ms.
When you arrive, I will have the right to make a marriage arrangement for you."
Ye Qingfu listened with fright and was filled with doubts. The third sister just went to the palace, why was her mother so angry? Also, the mother kept saying that she wanted to get engaged to the third sister, so why?
What's going on?
Facing Xue's anger, Ye Qinglan remained so calm and even lowered her eyelids. She seemed docile, but in fact she didn't take what Xue said to heart at all.
This kind of invisible contempt is even more maddening than sharp verbal counterattacks.
It was obvious that Mr. Xue was on the verge of going crazy. His face was livid and even a little distorted. Sparks were about to burst out of his eyes.
At this moment, a figure walked in. The person who came was a young woman, with a dignified and beautiful appearance and a calm demeanor. She was Cui Wan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the house.
Cui Wan turned a blind eye to the condensed and subtle atmosphere in the room, and called "Third Aunt" with a smile.
Even though Mrs.
Cui Wan smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that Shi Mei came back from the palace just now, so I came here to have a look." After saying that, she turned to look at Ye Qinglan and praised slightly exaggeratedly: "Shi Mei, your head
Why is there an extra hairpin and this pair of earrings? They are also rare and top quality. They must not have been given to you by the Queen!"
When she yelled like this, the awkward atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart and responded with a smile: "Well, it's all rewarded by the Queen."
Cui Wan came over to take a look at it, but she still felt that what she was looking at was not enough: "Can you take off the hairpin and earrings and show them to me?" Ye Qinglan happily agreed and took off the earrings and hairpin. Cui Wan was interested again.
He waved to Ye Qingfu excitedly: "You come here and broaden your horizons. These are all good things from the palace. They are much more exquisite than the jewelry made in the silver building."
Ye Qingfu's attention was indeed attracted, and she came close to Cui Wan to look at and comment on these two pieces of jewelry. When she felt itchy, she tried them on again. In this way, the previously stagnant atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
Sweep away.
Mrs.
But getting angry is like beating a war drum, one vigorous burst of energy will fade away again and again. With such an interruption, it will not be easy for her to gather her anger again.
Mrs. Xue had a sullen face and looked coldly at Cui Wan and the others, who were chatting and laughing very lively. She felt irritated and depressed at the same time. She exhaled heavily and said lightly: "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll go back to the house to rest for a while, so I won't stay with you any longer."
You are gossiping."
Cui Wan smiled nonchalantly: "Third aunt, please do as you please."
Mrs. Xue pursed her lips and walked away expressionlessly.
As soon as Mrs. Xue left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed. Ye Qingfu breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered: "Mom is finally gone." No matter how careless she was, she could tell that something was wrong with Mr. Xue today.
.That’s why I actively cooperated with Cui Wan to make the atmosphere more lively.
Cui Wan didn't want to criticize Xue in front of Ye Qingfu and smiled implicitly. Ye Qinglan didn't say anything either. The two looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look.
Ye Yuanzhou, who had been ignored all this time, suddenly came forward and looked at Ye Qinglan intently, his voice was strangely hoarse: "Third sister, I have something to ask you."
Cui Wan was startled and glanced at Ye Qinglan subconsciously. There was something wrong with Ye Yuanzhou's appearance...
Ye Qingfu also opened her eyes curiously and blurted out: "Brother, do you have anything to ask Third Sister?"
Ye Yuanzhou didn't even look at her, he still stared at Ye Qinglan closely.
Not to mention Cui Wan, even Ye Qingfu began to feel that something was wrong with her brother. This look... it didn't look like a brother looking at his sister, but rather... Ye Qingfu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He and Cui Wan looked at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan quickly frowned, then relaxed his brows and said calmly: "Since elder brother has something to ask me, let's find a quiet place." After saying that, he smiled apologetically at Cui Wan: "
Cousin, I will talk to you tomorrow."
Cui Wan calmly suppressed the doubts in her heart and nodded with a smile.
After Cui Wan left, Ye Yuanzhou glanced at Ye Qingfu again, and the meaning was self-evident.
Ye Qingfu muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Even I can't listen to what you are going to say..." Before she could finish her words, she saw Ye Yuanzhou frowning in displeasure. He immediately swallowed the rest of his words, obediently.
Leave.
Ye Yuanzhou ordered the maids to retreat again in a deep voice, and the other maids followed the order. But Ruomei did not move. Now that she had vaguely guessed the unbelievable thing, she could not rest assured.
Let the young lady face this Young Master Ye alone...
Ye Yuanzhou glanced at Ruomei impatiently: "You have nothing to do here, please step back first."
Ruomei was about to speak when she heard Ye Qinglan say lightly: "Ruomei, please step aside first!"
Ruomei was surprised: "Miss..."
"Don't worry, brother just has something to ask me." Ye Qinglan gently comforted him: "Just wait outside."
Ruomei hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly agreed. She didn't go far after leaving the house, and she and Ruixue stood guard by the door. Firstly, it was easier to rush in to save people at any time, and secondly, it was also possible to guard against anyone approaching and hearing something strange.
What should be heard...
There were only two people left in the room, and there were no worries about speaking. Ye Qinglan said straightforwardly: "What do you want to ask me?"
Ye Yuanzhou looked straight at Ye Qinglan and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Is it Gu Xinian?"
This question was asked without any beginning or end, but Ye Qinglan understood it immediately and nodded calmly: "Yes!"
A brief word, but it pierced Ye Yuanzhou's heart like a sharp blade. His face instantly turned pale, and anger and jealousy were intertwined, forming a complex taste that echoed endlessly in his heart.
It's really him! It's really him!
Such a powerful love rival is simply beyond what I can handle now...
Ye Qinglan looked at the pale Ye Yuanzhou quietly, with a calm expression but a cold and decisive tone: "Since you have already guessed it, there is no need for me to hide it from you. Cousin Gu and I are in love, and he has already asked the Queen to marry him.
This time he entered the palace because he heard that his mother was taking me to the Shangshu Mansion, so he specifically asked the Queen to invite me to the palace. The marriage decree will soon come to the palace, so you have given up completely.
Bar!"
Ye Yuanzhou listened blankly and didn't respond for a long time. His despair and despair were enough to make any woman's heart soften. However, this did not include Ye Qinglan.
"Brother," Ye Qinglan's voice was almost cold: "I have been living in Zheng Guogong's mansion for the past two months, and I get along very well with my future sister-in-law. She is a gentle and kind woman, and she is also the person who will accompany you for life. Don't
Don’t miss me anymore, treat your sister-in-law well in the future!” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
