Ye Qinglan, who has always been eloquent, had a rare moment when she was at a loss for words. She was stunned for a moment before explaining in a low voice: "Cousin Xiyu, I don't want to hide it from you, but I just don't know how to tell you..."
Gu Xiyu looked over with pure and clear eyes: "Don't worry, I don't blame you. I just want to ask you personally, are you really willing to marry my eldest brother?"
Ye Qinglan only felt her cheeks feel a little warm, but nodded. She was mentally prepared, and if Gu Xiyu was unhappy and disapproved, she would slowly convince her...
"Since you are willing, that's the best." Gu Xiyu's reaction was not what Ye Qinglan expected at all, and she actually had a look of relief: "I'm still worried that it would be bad if the eldest brother wants it but you don't.
This couldn't be better now."
Seeing Gu Xiyu's sincere smile, Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart. She held Gu Xiyu's hand tightly and suddenly couldn't say anything. In this world, such a friend who sincerely cares about her is so valuable!
Gu Xiyu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled mischievously, winked and said, "Then will I have to change my name to you sister-in-law?"
Even though Ye Qinglan was brave-skinned, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and responded naturally: "The elders haven't really agreed to this marriage yet!"
Gu Xiyu had great confidence in Gu Xinian: "Don't worry, as long as the eldest brother insists, my grandparents will definitely agree."
While they were whispering, they heard a gentle female voice from behind: "Yu'er, what are you and Sister Lan talking about?" It was Mrs. Zheng's voice.
I don't know when, Mrs. Zheng walked over. She still had that kind smile, but there was something obvious in her eyes when she looked at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan felt inexplicably guilty and forced a smile: "Just a casual chat, aunt doesn't have to be busy greeting the guests?" Now her manager understands what it's like to meet her parents-in-law. Even if they were familiar with each other before, once their identity changes, it feels like
It was different immediately.
Take now for example, Mrs. Zheng's smiling face is as friendly as ever, but she feels uncomfortable.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said pointedly: "You are also a distinguished guest today. I have to come and greet you first."
...Ye Qinglan smiled dryly, but her normally bright and transparent mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say at all.
Mrs. Zheng is so sharp and sophisticated, she can naturally see the embarrassment and nervousness under Ye Qinglan's smile, and her heart suddenly softens. Naturally, the "powerful attack" she originally thought of was thrown aside, and she gently changed the subject: "I heard that some time ago
The Queen has summoned you to the palace, right?"
Ye Qinglan calmed down and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I didn't know anything about it before. Originally, my mother planned to take me to Lu Shangshu's mansion as a guest, but I didn't expect that the empress sent her daughter-in-law to pick me up and bring me into the palace. I was very trembling at the time.
I was very frightened. Only when I met the Queen did I realize that the Queen was actually very kind and even gave me gifts."
The so-called Queen said it very nicely. Of course, Ye Qinglan was just talking nonsense.
Mrs. Zheng had already learned about Xue's original vicious plan from Gu Xinian, and she couldn't help but feel a little more pity in her heart. Her tone also became gentle: "Since the Queen specially summoned you, she naturally has some plans. You can wait with peace of mind.
Good news."
…
Today's surprises came one after another. Ye Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zheng blankly, not knowing how to react.
Although Mrs. Zheng spoke very reservedly, the meaning revealed in her words was very clear. She had already agreed to Gu Xinian's marriage to her! This... this was completely different from what she had imagined, making things difficult and overcoming obstacles!
Does this mean she has passed the level of mother-in-law?
Before Ye Qinglan had time to taste the joy, Mrs. Zheng changed the subject again as if nothing had happened: "I will go in to greet the guests. Yu'er, please lead Sister Lan around!"
Gu Xiyu smiled and agreed. After Mrs. Zheng left, she smiled and tugged on Ye Qinglan's sleeve: "Cousin Lan, how about I take you to Tingyuxuan to see the new house?"
Ye Qinglan nodded casually and followed Gu Xiyu absentmindedly all the way to Tingyuxuan.
Mrs. Xue, who was following Mr. Zheng and a group of noble women in the main hall of Shunyi Hall, was very unhappy at this time.
Ye Qinglan didn't know where this girl had gone. She didn't even tell her that her aunt had disappeared without a trace. She clearly didn't take it seriously. It's just that this girl had a big backer like Empress Gu, which made her only dare to do it now.
It's so hateful and annoying to make things difficult for small things, but to be unable to take action on the most important life-long matters...
Just as she was thinking wildly, Mrs. Zheng walked in with a smile. She walked to Mr. Xue's side naturally and cordially, and exchanged a few polite but enthusiastic greetings.
Mrs. Xue couldn't help but feel a little flattered. As the daughter-in-law of the third wife of the Changyuan uncle's house, her status was not high. She had been away from the capital for many years, and not many people had close contact with her. For a noble lady like Mrs. Zheng from a noble family,
, and would not take her seriously. She had long been accustomed to being treated coldly everywhere. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng treated her so warmly.
Mr. Xue only felt that her face was bright, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and glanced at the two people who were talking happily, a meaningful smile flashed in her eyes. Looking at Mrs. Zheng's posture, it was obvious that she had acquiesced in the marriage.
This girl Ye Qinglan is so lucky and lucky!
Mrs. Xue was not a fool. After chatting for a while, she gradually realized that something was wrong. Why did Mrs. Zheng's topic always revolve around the marriage of her children?
"...Xinian is already a grown man, but he hasn't even decided to get married yet." Mrs. Zheng smiled and sighed: "He is stubborn and no one can stop him. When I think of this, I get worried."
Mrs.
Already."
Mrs. Zheng smiled, and there was clearly a rich connotation in that smile: "Yes, I am not the only one who cares about his marriage, even the Queen is very concerned about it. The Queen also plans to personally choose a good girl for Xinian.
, the marriage will be decreed soon."
…
The connotation of Mrs. Zheng's words is so obvious that anyone who is not a fool can figure out what it means!
I never expected that the person behind the scenes was not Gu Xiyu, but Gu Xinian!
I never expected that that outstanding man Gu Xinian would fall in love with that girl Ye Qinglan!!
What is even more unexpected is that Mrs. Zheng does not dislike Ye Qinglan's status as a concubine and is happy to see the marriage come to fruition!!!
There was no mirror in front of Xue, otherwise she would have discovered how stiff and ugly her expression was. There was no joy at all.
Although Mrs. Zheng had long known that Xue's aunt was not very fond of Ye Qinglan, she still couldn't help but frown when she saw this moment with her own eyes. Even if she felt unhappy, she should pretend to be happy when she heard such a happy event.
What's going on with this reaction?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng felt even more pity for Ye Qinglan. No wonder this girl was so transparent and smart at such a young age. For a legitimate mother like Xue, if she wasn't smart, she would still have a way to survive.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't stand it any longer, coughed and interjected: "Congratulations to the eldest sister. It's really a great joy to have the queen marry Xi Nian."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, the Queen's eyesight is naturally very good. What she chooses must be a woman with both talent and beauty and a gentle temperament. What I value most is not family background, but a woman's appearance, character and temperament. As long as the person is
Okay, nothing else matters."
She did not lower her voice, and the surrounding female relatives naturally heard these words. With the intention of gossip, they all pricked up their ears to listen almost at the same time. Even those women who were well-informed and shrewd had already thought of the past.
In the past few days, Empress Gu summoned the tenth lady of Chang Yuan Bo Mansion to enter the palace...
The ladies exchanged understanding glances in tacit understanding. No wonder Mrs. Zheng was so affectionate to Mr. Xue just now. It turned out that she was going to be the in-laws! Mrs. Zheng was so high-profile and did not shy away from any taboos. She was obviously very satisfied with the marriage.
What kind of person is this concubine Miss Ye Shi, who can fall into the eyes of both Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian at the same time?
Under the gaze of everyone, Ms.
She was still a bit lucky, thinking that as long as Queen Gu didn't issue the decree, she could use her brains on Ye Qinglan's marriage. But today she was caught off guard by Mrs. Zheng!
The female family members present here are all noble ladies in the aristocratic circle of the capital, and they are all the best among the best. Mrs. Zheng hinted like this, how could everyone not understand the meaning. Even if there is no formal engagement, the marriage between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan is
There is no way to run away. Once this news spreads, who will risk offending Duke Dingguo and Queen Gu to come to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion to propose marriage?
Mr. Xue indeed guessed Mrs. Zheng's thoughts.
Mrs. Zheng has been thinking about this matter carefully these days. It is almost impossible to convince Mr. Sun head-on. If you want Ms. Sun to nod, you have to use some extraordinary methods. That's why Mrs. Zheng is here
Today, I am taking advantage of such an occasion to reveal that Empress Gu is going to arrange the marriage between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan. I believe that within two days, this news will be spread to everyone. It concerns Empress Gu and Duke Dingguo's palace.
Face, when the time comes, even if Sun wants to object, it will be too late.
Don’t underestimate the power of this trick. For Mr. Sun, who values face and respect, this is definitely the most effective method!
Of course, Mrs. Zheng also intended to use this matter to give Mr. Xue a warning.
From now on, you should calm down and stop worrying about your concubine’s daughter all day long. Ye Qinglan is already my future daughter-in-law. If you want to bully her, you have to ask me if I am willing!
