Ye Yuanzhou suddenly laughed, and there was indescribable sadness and desolation in that laughter: "Ye Qinglan, you keep asking me to forget you. Do you think I don't want to? People's feelings can't be let go. I don't want to let go either."
I know what's wrong with me, but I just can't let you go."
Love should have been a glass of intoxicating wine. But what he tasted was endless bitterness. He thought about giving up countless times, but he couldn't do it. No matter how determined he was, the moment he saw her, he
It will fall apart immediately...
Looking at Ye Yuanzhou, whose eyes were shining with water, Ye Qinglan finally could no longer maintain a calm expression and sighed softly. There is indeed such a thing as evil fate in the world. Ye Yuanzhou's obsession is too deep, and it is basically impossible to persuade him to give up on his own initiative.
Possible things. We can only be completely cruel and never give him any extravagant hope.
"If you continue like this, you will only harm me and yourself." Ye Qinglan looked straight at Ye Yuanzhou with her bright eyes: "This is my last advice to you, whether you listen to it or not, in short
, I only have brother-sister affection for you, and absolutely no affection between man and woman. I didn’t have it before, I don’t have it now, and I won’t have it in the future. Even if I didn’t have Cousin Gu, I wouldn’t look at you twice.”
…
It turns out that the most hurtful weapon in the world is not a sword, but ruthless words!
Ye Yuanzhou seemed unable to bear the pain in his heart, his hands trembled slightly, and his face was pale and bloodless.
Ye Qinglan didn't look at him anymore, turned around and left coldly. Until she opened the door and walked out, Ye Yuanzhou didn't say another word.
He just stood there blankly, watching her walk out step by step. It was like she had completely walked out of his world.
At this moment, he finally admitted to himself that in fact, he had never really understood her from beginning to end. Her calmness and rationality, her decisive refusal, and her cold heart were all so strange. That
The delicate, pitiful and charming girl is just what he imagined...
As soon as Ye Qinglan walked out of the house, Ruixue and Ruomei gathered around nervously, looking up and down. Ye Qinglan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm missing no arms or legs. I'm fine."
The two maids were both amused.
Ye Qinglan cheered up and said with a smile: "I stayed in the palace for a long time today and was questioned again when I came back. It's really tiring. Let's go back to the house and rest now."
Ruomei and Ruixue smiled and agreed together.
At this time, the Duke Dingguo's mansion was not at peace either. Ever since they received the news that Queen Gu had summoned Ye Qinglan to the palace, everyone was petrified almost at the same time.
After a long while, Mrs. Sun murmured: "Why did the Queen summon Ye Qinglan to the palace?"
As the mother of a country after the Sixth Palace, Queen Gu's every move cannot be ignored. It is absolutely impossible to invite people into the palace at will. The most recent time was a few months ago, when she summoned the British princess, her mother and her daughter to have an audience.
The purpose is to ensure that Gu Yongnian and Zhang Yue are matched. So what will it be for this time?
The answer was ready to come out, but it was delayed.
Mrs. Zheng was also stunned for a long time before she found her voice: "My daughter-in-law is not sure what is going on."
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law actually guessed the truth of the matter, but neither one was willing to reveal this layer.
What a joke! The grandson of Duke Dingguo, the promising minister of household affairs, the cousin of the current prince, the nephew of the current queen... How could he marry a concubine with such a noble status!!!
But the facts happened to be right in front of them again. All of this was clearly caused by Gu Xinian. Otherwise, how would Queen Gu have the interest to summon an ordinary noble girl?
The more Sun thought about it, the more angry she became, and she said bitterly: "When Xinian comes back tonight, I'll ask him what's going on."
Mrs. Zheng nodded in agreement, her expression a little solemn.
Gu Xiyu, who was sitting aside, suddenly interrupted and asked: "Grandma, mother, are you talking about eldest brother and cousin Lan?"
Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng were both stunned, and then asked in unison: "Yu'er, what do you know?"
Gu Xiyu answered honestly: "I only know that my eldest brother likes cousin Lan and said he wants to marry her."
... Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng both had strange expressions. One had her eyes rounded and the other had her mouth wide open. They were both obviously shocked. Mrs. Zheng calmed down and asked: "Yu'er, your eldest brother really said these things."
What?"
Gu Xiyu hummed and added: "However, I don't want my eldest brother to marry cousin Lan."
Mrs. Sun's face softened, and her eyes flashed with approval: "Yu'er is really old now, and she knows how to consider these things..." Ye Qinglan is not worthy of her grandson.
"I've thought about it many times." Gu Xiyu said seriously: "Eldest brother always bullies Cousin Lan. If he really marries Cousin Lan, he will definitely bully her and hurt her in the future. So, Cousin Lan, it's better not to marry her.
Give it to big brother."
Sun: "..."
Mrs. Zheng coughed and smiled to help Mr. Sun: "Yu'er is still a child at heart, so her words will inevitably be imperfect. I hope my mother-in-law won't take offense."
After Mrs. Sun regained her composure, she said angrily: "It's already at this time, what's the use of talking about it. The most important thing is to come up with countermeasures quickly. It will be too late if we really wait until the Queen Mother issues the Feng Decree.
Yes." No wonder he refused so simply when he proposed to marry Gu Xinian that day, and cunningly set a one-year deadline. It was obvious that this game had been set up long ago.
Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly: "You also know Xinian's temperament. As long as he makes up his mind, even eight horses can't pull him back. I really can't think of any good way."
The matter was obvious. Gu Xinian's secret planning of this matter was definitely not a matter of a day or two. How could they be convinced with just a few words?
Mrs. Sun snorted coldly: "In the past, you were all too spoiled to him, which made him act more and more boldly. He even dared to make his own decisions in life-long affairs, and didn't take his elders seriously at all. This time, he can't let it go anymore.
He has lost his temper. He doesn't like girls from any family, but he has chosen a concubine."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but say a few good words for Ye Qinglan: "Actually, Sister Lan is indeed a lovable girl. Although she is younger, she is very calm, thoughtful, smart, perceptive and eloquent.
She also has a good look. I even thought about adopting her as my goddaughter!"
However, Ye Qinglan refused no matter what. She later accidentally mentioned it to Gu Xinian twice, but Gu Xinian also strongly opposed it. She put the matter aside after citing a bunch of inappropriate reasons.
Come down. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that from that time on, the two of them have been interested in each other. That's why they all opposed the confession of their daughter...
"Even if that girl is good, I will never agree to this marriage." Sun's performance was very tough: "Sooner or later, the title of Duke Guo will be passed to Xinian, and his wife must be a noble lady, so that she can support our marriage in the future.
It’s the face of the Duke’s government.”
If Gu Xinian comes back after marrying Ye Qinglan, where will the dignity of Duke Dingguo go?
Seeing her persistence, Mrs. Zheng couldn't say anything more.
In fact, after the initial shock, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ye Qinglan was a good candidate. The only pity was that Ye Qinglan's status was a little lower. If she had been a legitimate daughter like Ye Qingning, the Sun family would never have been so big.
's reaction.
But the more Sun thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she lost all good impressions of Ye Qinglan: "I thought this girl was very sophisticated at first, but now that I think about it, it's true. She first deliberately approached Yu'er, and then used the excuse of accompanying Yu'er to go there
We, the Duke of Dingguo, are here as guests, and we take advantage of the opportunity to seduce Xinian by being close to the water. If such a scheming and unscrupulous woman comes in, our Duke of Dingguo will become a joke in the whole capital...
"
Gu Xiyu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she finally couldn't help but interrupt Sun: "Grandma, it's not what you think. Cousin Lan always comes to accompany me every time she comes to visit, so she doesn't use me to get close to her eldest brother.
"
Mrs. Sun snorted disapprovingly: "What do you know? That girl is much more powerful than you think. Despite her young age, her skills are very powerful. She even fascinated your elder brother. She is simply
What a foxy girl..."
"Grandma, I don't allow you to say that about Cousin Lan." Gu Xiyu's face turned red with anger and her voice was strong: "She is not who you said."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't listen anymore. She coughed and took over the conversation gently: "What exactly happened, I have to ask Xinian to find out. Let's wait until he comes back!"
Sun didn't even think about it, was Gu Xinian the kind of person who could be easily influenced by others? If he wasn't willing, it would be useless even with a knife on his neck. Let alone seduction.
.Ye Qinglan does have good looks, but after all, she is still a girl of thirteen or fourteen. To Gu Xinian, she is just a green flower. To say that Ye Qinglan seduced him, it is better to say that Gu Xinian coaxed underage girls.
Pretty much...
Mrs. Sun was very angry at Gu Xiyu's repeated retorts. If she hadn't always loved this delicate granddaughter, she would have turned against her and cursed her. Now she could only suppress her unhappiness and said lightly: "Yes.
Okay, then let’s wait until Xinian comes back and ask him what’s going on.”
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Sun sat aside with a tigerish face and said nothing.
Gu Xiyu didn't know how to watch people's words and try to coax others, so she sat aside with a sullen face and said nothing.
Mrs. Zheng was caught in the middle, smiling bitterly.
As evening approached, Gu Tong and Gu Hong's father and son also returned to their house. Both of them were very well-informed and already knew what had happened this morning, and both had sullen faces.
Mrs. Sun finally waited until they returned home, and immediately angrily said what she had said before: "... In short, I will never agree to this marriage. Let Xinian give up on this as soon as possible!" (To be completed.)
