Ruixue and Ruomei stood beside Ye Qinglan, one on the left and the other on the right, as if facing a formidable enemy. Their eyes fell on Ye Yuanzhou invariably. As long as Ye Yuanzhou made any move, they would not hesitate to stand in front of Ye Qinglan.
However, Ye Yuanzhou seemed not to notice the alert looks on the two maids' faces, and still looked at Ye Qinglan intently.
Ye Qinglan didn't even raise her head and said calmly: "Brother, you came to my room specially because you have something to tell me!"
Ye Yuanzhou took a deep breath: "Yes, I do have something to say to you. Ruixue, you and Ruomei step aside first."
Ruixue's expression changed slightly, and she glanced at Ye Qinglan subconsciously. Ruomei's reaction was more direct: "Young Master has something to say, but it's okay to say it. I will never eavesdrop on a word."
Ye Yuanzhou frowned and snorted: "How outrageous! Even if you are not the maid of Uncle Changyuan's Mansion, you are still someone close to Third Sister. How dare you speak to this young master in such a tone!" After a while, he also figured out who Ruomei was.
Here comes the identity. He was clearly sent by Gu Xinian to stay by Sanmei’s side!
As expected, there are servants for every master. Gu Xinian was arrogant, and the maids he sent were also extremely bold.
Ruomei responded in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "If what I said was inappropriate, I hope you will forgive me. However, I have been ordered to stay by your side at all times and cannot leave even half a step without permission. I hope you will be considerate." In other words, no matter what, she will forgive her.
He refused to leave.
Ye Yuanzhou's handsome face darkened and his eyes were cold and stern. Although Ruomei lowered her head, she did not back down even a step.
Ye Qinglan's calm and gentle voice sounded: "Ruixue, Ruomei. You two will stay at the door for now."
Ruixue and Ruomei were both shocked: "Miss..." How can you stay alone with Ye Yuanzhou, who has evil intentions!
"If something happens, I will ask you to come in." Ye Qinglan gave the two loyal maids a comforting look: "You guys stay at the door and don't let anyone in."
Ruixue Ruomei looked at each other helplessly and had no choice but to say yes.
After the two maids went out, Ye Qinglan put down the sewing in her hands and raised her eyes to look at Ye Yuanzhou: "Don't you have something to say to me? There is no one else now, so you can say it!"
She was so calm that Ye Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I came back yesterday. My father specially called me to come over and talk. He said that I am not young now and it is time to start a family. I plan to go to Zheng Guogong in a few days.
The government will discuss my marriage with Miss Zheng..."
Having said this, Ye Yuanzhou paused. After seeing Ye Qinglan's calm expression, he suddenly felt a burst of unspeakable disappointment. On impulse, he blurted out the words hidden deep in his heart: "Lan'er, I am crazy about you.
, are you really completely indifferent?"
Ye Qinglan suppressed her smile and responded calmly: "I thought I had made what I said very clear and understandable! If you can't remember clearly, I don't mind saying it again for the last time. I only have brother and sister feelings for you.
There is no love between men and women. There was none before, there is none now, and there will never be in the future. Don't have any more wishful thinking. Study hard. Obtaining fame and getting ahead is the right way. Cousin Zheng is gentle and virtuous by nature. She is a good girl. You will do well in the future.
Wait for her to stop thinking about me."
…
Ye Yuanzhou's handsome face turned pale, and he clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. He felt heart-wrenching pain in his heart, which was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
Ye Qinglan was still so cold and calm: "If you only want to say what you just said, then we have nothing to say. I still have to do needlework, so you can leave."
The most hurtful thing in the world is never a sword, but the heartless and cold words of a loved one.
Ye Yuanzhou gritted his teeth and said: "You are so cruel!"
Ye Qinglan's originally calm and pretty face changed subtly because of his words, and she twitched the corners of her lips with a sneer: "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this? If I weren't cruel, I would get involved with you.
Once such a scandal spreads, not only will my parents and relatives be humiliated, but I will also be unable to see anyone in my life. Either I will twist my hair and go to a nunnery to chant sutras and fast for the rest of my life, or I will die to keep my innocence. Which way do you think?
More suitable for me?"
Ye Yuanzhou's face lost all color and his eyes were full of pain: "Lan'er, you know I can't help myself. There is absolutely no one in this world who likes you more than me..."
However, Ye Qinglan no longer had the patience to fight with him anymore, and frowned and said, "I'm not interested in your feelings. If you don't leave, I'll ask Ruomei and the others to come in."
When people are extremely depressed and desperate, they often do things that they would never dare to do on ordinary days. Take Ye Yuanzhou for example! His expression changed, and finally he stood up and walked over.
Ye Qinglan looked at his fiery and blank eyes, and secretly shuddered in her heart: "What are you going to do..."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Yuanzhou hugged her fiercely.
Ye Qinglan's head was pounding. She was not embarrassed at all, but extremely angry. She pushed Ye Yuanzhou hard a few times, but he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit at this time, hugging Ye Qinglan tightly and refusing to let go.
Of course Ye Qinglan could scream, Ruixue and Ruomei were outside the door, and they would immediately open the door and come in to save her... But if this was really the case, Ye Yuanzhou's unfaithful love for her would not be contained. Even if there was a slight possibility,
She couldn't afford such a scandal if word spread.
No, she can't panic!
Ye Qinglan forced herself to calm down and stopped struggling.
Ye Yuanzhou has lost much sense and only knows how to hug the delicate body in his arms. Apart from that, he has not done anything else out of the ordinary.
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath and softened her voice: "Brother, can you let me go first? I'm really scared when you're like this."
The soft and thin voice reached Ye Yuanzhou's ears. Ye Yuanzhou closed his eyes almost painfully and murmured in a low voice: "Lan'er, don't be afraid, I just want to hold you like this..."
Ye Qinglan's voice was a little trance-like, with a strange magic power: "Brother, I once had a dream. I dreamed that I was engaged to Cousin Xue, and you were unwilling to go out riding with Cousin Xue.
At that time, I secretly tampered with his horse. As a result, he fell off the horse and died. From then on, I carried the reputation of Croft and could not afford to be sick. I lived alone in a secluded small courtyard. Every day
You went to accompany me and said you would stay with me forever. I was very lonely and scared, and refused to take any more medicine, so I died a year later. Later, you cried in front of my grave for a long time and committed suicide by taking poison.
.”
These words were so shocking and unbelievable that Ye Yuanzhou felt chills running down his back. He subconsciously let go of his hand, took a step back, and looked at Ye Qinglan blankly.
Ye Qinglan looked at him with dark eyes: "You must think this is a very absurd dream! But since you kissed my face in the garden two years ago, I have often had this dream. In the dream
Everything is very realistic, as if it really happened. I think these things must have happened in the previous life. My death was too miserable and wronged, so I will never forget it in this life."
Her expression was so serious that no one could doubt that she was telling lies.
Ye Yuanzhou looked at her blankly, a chill running down his back.
"I'm afraid that something like this will happen again in my life, so I will never be engaged to cousin Xue, and I will never be soft-hearted towards you. Can you understand what I mean?" Ye Qinglan said word by word.
It was transmitted clearly and unmistakably into Ye Yuanzhou's ears.
Under her cold gaze, Ye Yuanzhou looked miserable and took two steps back unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly took two steps back, keeping a distance from him: "You are about to get married, so put away all the thoughts that you shouldn't have. From now on, the two of us are just an ordinary couple.
Brothers and sisters..."
Ye Yuanzhou finally reacted. In his excitement, his handsome face was a little twisted and ferocious: "I can't do it, I can't do it at all! Even if I marry that Zheng Min, you are the only one in my heart!" When he was excited, his voice
It is inevitably larger than usual.
Ruixue and Ruomei vaguely heard some movement, their expressions changed, they looked at each other and pushed the door open in unison.
The door is open!
In the house, Ye Qinglan and Ye Yuanzhou were four or five steps apart, standing opposite each other. Ye Qinglan's face was deep, but Ye Yuanzhou was inexplicably excited.
Seeing this scene, the two maids felt their hearts pounding. Just as they were about to speak, they heard the voice of the little maid Ying'er coming from outside the door: "I have seen the master and his wife!"
Ye Qinglan was shocked. Aren't Ye Chengli and Mr. Xue greeting the guests in front? Why did they suddenly come back to Hefeng Courtyard? That's all Mr. Xue, he must not let Ye Chengli see Ye Yuanzhou's appearance at this moment...
"Brother, mother and father are here." Ye Qinglan quickly reminded in a low voice.
Ye Yuanzhou's mind was in a state of agitation and he was unable to react in time. Before he could regain his composure, Ye Chengli and Mrs. Xue had already stepped in.
The strange atmosphere in the room is obvious at a glance.
Mr. Xue smiled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Ye Chengli frowned as expected: "Yuanzhou, the banquet is about to begin. Why did you come to Lan'er's house when you weren't there?"
Ye Yuanzhou didn't even have his usual tact, his mind was in chaos, and he subconsciously responded: "Cousin Xue was talking to the second sister, so the third sister and I took refuge here..." After the words came out, he
I know I made a mistake.
Sure enough, Ye Chengli's face suddenly darkened: "It's ridiculous! The two of them have already been engaged, how can they agree with each other privately... It's so ridiculous! Come on, get me the young master cousin and the second young lady now!"
It's not wrong! Ye Chengli got angry, but he didn't investigate why Ye Yuanzhou was in Ye Qinglan's house. This situation can be regarded as fishing in troubled waters.
Mr. Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Ye Qinglan angrily.
…
Ye Qinglan's lips twitched into a sneer. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
