Cui Wan looked over inadvertently, was slightly startled, then gave the baby in her hand to the nanny, and then quietly approached.
Ye Qinglan, who has always been sharp, was a little careless today and did not notice Cui Wan approaching. It was not until Cui Wan spoke out that she came back to her senses: "Cousin, why are you here?"
Cui Wan rolled her eyes in an angry and funny way: "I've been standing next to you for a long time. If I hadn't called you, I'm afraid you still wouldn't know that I'm here!"
Ye Qinglan was rarely embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now."
Cui Wan asked with concern: "Today is your big day, why do you look so worried? Did something happen?"
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart. She was extremely beautiful today, and there were so many eyes on her. But with so many people in the house, only Cui Wan noticed the slight difference in her mood. But she really couldn't tell anyone what she was thinking at the moment.
…
"No, it's just random thoughts." Ye Qinglan responded vaguely. It was probably because her low mood affected her mood, and pretending that nothing happened was unsuccessful.
Cui Wan was the most delicate in mind and naturally noticed that Ye Qinglan's mood was different. She was silent for a moment and then smiled and said: "It's really noisy here. How about we find a quiet place to talk?"
Ye Qinglan couldn't bear to refuse such a kind offer, so she had to accept it with a smile.
The two walked a few steps away and stood under the verandah outside the main hall of Changhe Hall. The sound of fireworks and everyone's chatter and laughter could be clearly heard. The two spoke in low voices, so as not to attract attention.
"I heard that Qingning came back specially to see you today." After thinking about it, apart from the happy event of the wedding, the fact that Ye Qingning came back is more eye-catching today: "Did she say something to make you unhappy?
"
Ye Qinglan cheered up and said with a smile: "No problem, Sixth Sister came back to see me on horseback despite the wind and snow. I couldn't be happier!"
Cui Wan asked tentatively: "When she and my uncle came back, they seemed to have brought a guest with them! I heard that the guest's surname was Meng, and he was my uncle's cousin."
Ye Qinglan didn't expect Cui Wan to guess the key to the problem so keenly. She was unwilling to admit it, let alone lie to Cui Wan. So she fell silent.
Such silence undoubtedly acquiesced that her abnormality was indeed related to Meng Zijun...
Cui Wan frowned and lowered her voice a little: "You have been a guest in Zheng Guogong's mansion for more than a month. Are you familiar with this Meng Zijun?"
Not only is he very familiar, he was also my boyfriend from a previous life...
Ye Qinglan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that even you knew about this."
Cui Wan said sternly: "You have lived in Zheng Guogong's mansion for so long, and someone comes back with news every few days. I heard my mother-in-law mention it several times, and then I knew that there was a person like Meng Zijun. Ten sisters, I know you are smart.
You are smart. There are some things you don’t need to remind me. However, I still have to say more. A woman’s reputation is greater than heaven. Especially now that you have been accused of being married, you can’t make any mistakes in your actions. If there is any news that something is wrong
The wonderful rumors will not only damage your reputation, but also make cousin Gu look bad. What's more, it will also affect the reputation of Changyuan Bo Mansion and Dingguo Mansion." After a pause, he continued.
Sighing: "You are now in great glory, but you are even more at the forefront of the storm. You have to be careful of those villains who make trouble for nothing and slander you behind your back. You must be cautious in everything!"
Ye Qinglan was so moved by these heartfelt instructions that she was almost speechless. Her heart felt sour and warm at the same time: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your reminder. I will definitely be careful."
Seeing that she heard what he said, Cui Wan breathed a sigh of relief. He joked again: "Actually, this is just my overthinking. With cousin Gu here, no matter how good the boy is, he can't fall in your eyes."
.”
Perhaps it was Ye Qinglan's heart-opening words that moved her so much that she blurted out what was in her heart: "That's not necessarily true."
Cui Wan: "..."
The words had already been spoken and could not be taken back. Ye Qinglan simply continued: "Meng Zijun is a brave, strong and humorous young man. My cousin must like him very much when she meets him."
... Cui Wan coughed: "Ten sisters, when you say this, can I understand that if it weren't for cousin Gu, you might fall in love with Meng Zijun?"
Ye Qinglan also didn't expect that she would be so honest in front of Cui Wan: "Yes. If I hadn't met Cousin Gu first, I would definitely have fallen in love with Meng Zijun."
Cui Wan was speechless, and it took him a while to realize: "Does Cousin Gu also know about him?"
Ye Qinglan nodded.
Cui Wan didn't know what to say at all. She was stunned for a long time before sighing: "It's good to be young." She even dared to say such words...
Ye Qinglan was so amused that she burst into laughter. Her depressed mood since Meng Zijun left has become much lighter: "I said it too directly, I'm afraid I scared my cousin-in-law!"
"I was indeed shocked." Cui Wan admitted honestly. She had also experienced the feelings of a young girl who had just begun to fall in love, but she definitely did not have the courage to say such a thing: "I didn't expect that you would actually treat that Mencius
Jun has such a good impression. I didn't expect that cousin Gu would also know about it. Isn't he jealous?"
Why aren't you jealous? Gu Xinian is very jealous. If he knew what happened today, he would be so angry that he would come to settle a score with her.
Ye Qinglan thought silently in her heart, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "I haven't married him yet, he will be jealous if he likes, I don't care about him." When Gu Xinian was mentioned, her mood finally improved a lot.
Cui Wan couldn't stop laughing: "I used to think that cousin Gu was too perfect and had almost no flaws. Now I know that he can also be jealous."
Ye Qinglan also pursed her lips and smiled. Talking is indeed the best way to reduce the psychological burden. Most of her previous low and gloomy mood has now dissipated.
Seeing her smile, Cui Wan felt relieved and reminded with a low smile: "You can just say what you just said in front of me, but you must not let others know. Otherwise, I don't know how much trouble it will cause."
trouble."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Cui Wan was about to continue asking when she saw a light figure flash over. It was a woman dressed as a maid. She had a delicate face and very agile and almost silent steps. She was Ruomei, the eldest maid next to Ye Qinglan: "Miss, the master has ordered the slave to come and call you. Fireworks are going fast.
After the release, the master said to go back to Hefengyuan to keep watch."
Ye Qinglan hummed and said goodbye to Cui Wan.
Ruomei followed Ye Qinglan. She wanted to say something, but when she was about to open her mouth, she hesitated again. She hesitated for a long time. When she finally made up her mind to speak, she had already walked to Ye Chengli and Xue.
Ruomei had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips.
Ye Chengli led his wife and children to say goodbye to Ye Sheng and others. After returning to Hefeng Courtyard, they sat in front of the stove, eating exquisite snacks and drinking hot scented tea. They chatted casually until the sound of banging was heard.
After it rang, they dispersed and went back to the house to rest.
The day was extremely tiring. Ye Qinglan simply washed up and got into the warm bed. She was extremely tired, but her mind was extremely clear and her thoughts were up and down. She couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Meng Zijun's heartbreak kept flashing in front of her eyes.
eyes...
It was a quiet night, with only the biting cold wind blowing against the window lattice, making a faint sound.
Ye Qinglan finally fell asleep. But just when she seemed to be asleep, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open and closed gently.
The sound was very slight, but Ye Qinglan was still awakened and asked subconsciously: "Ruomei, why aren't you asleep yet?"
She had never been used to having a maid on night watch. Usually after sleeping on the bed, she would tell the maid to go back to sleep. Occasionally, there would be a night watch. It was Ruixue and Ruomei who took turns. Tonight, it was Ruomei's turn to be on night watch. She had also persuaded Ruomei to go back to the house.
But Ruomei refused and had no choice but to follow Ruomei.
But in the middle of the night, if Ruomei didn't sleep, why did she come to the house?
The candlelight in the room had long been blown out, and only a faint ray of moonlight came in through the window. It was impossible to see the face clearly. But even in the confusion of sleep, Ye Qinglan was still sensitive to the strangeness of that figure.
.
No, Ruomei is not that tall...
Ye Qinglan shuddered, and the trace of sleepiness disappeared without a trace. She looked over attentively: "Who is it?"
A low laugh sounded.
The laughter was lazy and leisurely, as relaxed and natural as a girl visiting her boudoir at night and just taking a leisurely stroll. In the darkness, a familiar voice was low and sweet: "Don't be afraid, it's me."
As soon as the familiar voice entered her ears, Ye Qinglan's beating heart slowly returned to normal, and then she frowned, knowing that the other party couldn't see him, but she still rolled her eyes and said, "It's freezing and snowy in the middle of the night, why don't you take a good rest and come to me?"
What are you doing here?" Not only was there no enthusiasm for surprise, but there was even some disgust.
The visitor glanced at her dissatisfied, but unfortunately, with such dim light and a certain distance, he couldn't see anything at all. He simply walked to the bed, sat down so relaxedly, and said with a joking smile:
"You heartless girl, you haven't seen me for so long, why don't you miss me at all? I ran so far, climbed over walls and sneaked around, all just to see you."
From such a close distance, that handsome face could be seen clearly, and the deep and sharp black eyes were smiling at this moment, and there was no doubt that he was looking at her intently.
I couldn't tell whether it was joy, surprise, or a little nervous, but the moment the words came out, he was as calm as ever: "Gu Xinian, you didn't take the wrong medicine today! Are you afraid of coming into my house at this time?
My life is too leisurely, so you need to stir up some topics for me, right?"
Gu Xinian sighed deliberately: "You are too cruel! I rode all the way here and went through a lot of trouble to finally see you, and you didn't even have a soft word?"
