As soon as the family banquet was over, Mrs. Sun turned away with a long face: "I want to take a nap, so I won't leave you guys talking, everyone should go back and rest!"
Watching others eat so much while you can only watch helplessly is a torture for Ms. Sun, who has a huge appetite and a big appetite! Being able to endure it until the end of the family banquet without falling out is definitely a sign of extraordinary self-control.
.
Ye Qinglan excused herself with a slow smile.
As soon as they came out of Shunyi Hall, Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Mrs. Zheng, who was walking in front, coughed and hinted to the two of them with her eyes: If you want to laugh, wait until you get back to laugh! If Mrs. Sun heard it, her nose would be filled with smoke!
In fact, not to mention the two of them, even Mrs. Zheng has not experienced such a relaxed and happy feeling for a long time. Among the three Zheng sisters, the second sister Zheng is shrewd and powerful. She monopolizes the power of the backyard in the Changyuan uncle's house. As the stepmother,
The mother-in-law has long been left alone to cool off. As for the third sister, she is even more powerful. She has been favored in the harem for many years and can compete with Empress Gu. She is the eldest sister with the gentlest temper. She married into Dingguo
After so many years in the government, I never dared to quarrel with my mother-in-law.
Over the years, it was only during Gu Xinian's marriage that she straightened her back and dealt with her mother-in-law Sun. Facts have proved that her persistence that day was indeed correct. Look at the newly married daughter-in-law Ye Qinglan, who has repeatedly let Sun
She felt so deflated that she felt so happy!
Of course, with Mrs. Zheng's implicitness and openness, she would never say such words to her mouth. But the smile in her eyes became deeper.
Ye Qinglan is the best at observing words and expressions. How could he not see Mrs. Zheng's happy mood at this moment? Since her mother-in-law also feels that she did the right thing, it will be easier in the future!
Mr. Sun, just wait until I take care of you slowly from now on! Ye Qinglan thought happily.
Gu Xiyu leaned close to her ear and whispered her inner admiration: "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. I admire you so much."
Ye Qinglan held her arm with a smile and laughed softly: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let others hear you."
Gu Xiyu glanced back reflexively and saw Fan walking over quickly. She frowned immediately.
Sure enough, he still had the temper of a child, and whether he liked it or not was clearly shown on his face. Ye Qinglan secretly laughed, and quietly quickened his pace, then turned back to Izuyunxuan, naturally avoiding direct contact with Fan.
After arriving at Izumo Pavilion, Ye Qinglan asked curiously: "Do you dislike her very much?"
Gu Xiyu answered without hesitation: "Yes. I hate her very much." After a pause, she added: "Not only her, but also my brother, and even their three children, I don't like them at all."
Although she had been mentally prepared, Ye Qinglan was still stunned for a moment when she heard Gu Xiyu's decisive words. She naturally asked: "Why?"
In the past, Gu Xiyu always avoided talking about Gu Shengnian, her brother. However, now that Ye Qinglan has become her sister-in-law, there are some things that she has nothing to hide.
"The elder brother is three years older than the eldest brother." Gu Xiyu never refused to call Gu Shengnian "eldest brother" and only called him vaguely "brother": "When my mother got married, she already had an older brother. Later, the brother's biological mother
She was not very peaceful, so her mother sent her to Zhuangzi. Later, the woman fell ill and died..."
Gu Hong naturally suspected that Mrs. Zheng had done something secretly. Mrs. Zheng felt aggrieved, but she could not express her pain. Over time, this incident became a knot in the hearts of both Mrs. Zheng and Gu Hong.
People are not quarrelsome or noisy. On the surface, they act as if nothing has happened. But privately, Mrs. Zheng feels unhappy when she thinks about this matter. She really can't treat Gu Shengnian as her own child, so she sent him to live alone early.
A yard.
Therefore, although brother and sister Gu Xinian and Gu Shengnian are half-siblings, they are not close to each other. They are not even as close as they are to their second wife, Gu Yongnian.
In fact, speaking of it, Mrs. Zheng was already a very kind aunt. If she had been a cruel and ruthless mother, she would never have allowed her bastard, who was three years older than her eldest son, to grow up safely.
Gu Xiyu had a clear distinction between love and hate, and she had no good impression of Gu Shengnian, so naturally she also disliked him and fell in love with Fan.
"...Her father was a priest of the Imperial College, and he had some friendship with my father, so we decided to get married." Gu Xiyu's face still didn't look good when she talked about these past events: "After she came here, she got pregnant very soon.
She gave birth to children one after another. Because of this, she probably always felt that she had made a lot of contributions. If her brother hadn't taken her with him when he went to work in other places, I would have had a headache listening to her noise all day long!
It's a pity that my grandmother insisted on letting the family of five come back last year. I had to see her every day in the past few months."
It sounds like this Fan is just superficial and noisy, but doesn't have any serious bad habits. Gu Xiyu doesn't like her, mostly for subjective reasons.
Ye Qinglan smiled and comforted her with a few words: "If you don't like her, just have less contact with her in the future."
Gu Xiyu hummed.
After opening the conversation, Ye Qinglan continued to ask: "Your brother is the eldest, your cousin... your husband is the fourth, and your cousin is the seventh. Who are the second, third, fifth, and sixth?" He has been with Gu Xiyu for so long.
I haven't heard her mention her other brothers and sisters, and I only saw a few of them today.
"There are only three of us in the eldest family, and the others are actually the second cousins. Except for the seventh cousin, they are all girls born from concubines. The second cousin and the fifth cousin died in childhood, and the third cousin married far away. It has been several years.
She's not back. There is also the sixth cousin, who came back yesterday, but you didn't notice her while you were sitting in the new house." The concubine's daughter is not taken seriously at all, which can be seen from here.
Listening to Gu Xiyu counting them one by one, Ye Qinglan just wanted to sigh. The people in Dingguo Duke's mansion were not prosperous. No wonder Fan always considered himself a hero. Such a prosperous... well, the ability to continue the incense is indeed very good.
powerful!
While the two were chatting and laughing, the door was pushed open with a squeaking sound. Gu Xinian, who was drunk, came back!
Seeing that Gu Xiyu was there, Gu Xinian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that his premonition yesterday was indeed correct...
Ye Qinglan didn't have the slightest idea of marrying as a wife. She didn't even get up to greet her or say hello or anything. She just said with a smile, "You're back," and continued to joke with Gu Xiyu in a low voice.
…
Gu Xinian, who was somewhat drunk after drinking and planned to come back and have some intimacy with his beloved wife, was completely ignored.
Gu Xinian deliberately coughed and walked forward with a smile: "Lan'er, what are you and Yu'er talking about so happily?"
Gu Xiyu immediately said with a beaming smile: "Brother, you don't know what happened just now! My grandmother wanted to embarrass my sister-in-law and deliberately asked her to pick up vegetables for her. As a result, her face changed color because she was so angry..."
Gu Xinian listened attentively, then laughed.
Mrs. Sun's temper has not changed over the years. She is used to being self-centered, and she does not even use any conspiracy methods to make things difficult for Ye Qinglan in such an upright manner. But she did not expect that Ye Qinglan is not a submissive little daughter-in-law! However, Mrs. Sun
It’s weird to be able to swallow such a sigh of relief after suffering such a heavy loss. From now on, you won’t be able to find faults...
In front of Gu Xiyu, Gu Xinian didn't say anything, but just looked at Ye Qinglan deeply.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will be careful." Anyway, even if she does nothing, Sun will not let her go. If she is really bullied to the point of being unable to stand up, the future will be difficult. So.
, you must have a wonderful performance in this big competition of wits and courage.
Of course, no matter how smart she is, she will suffer a big loss in terms of status. If Sun becomes really unreasonable, it is inevitable that she will suffer some losses. So, no wonder Gu Xinian is worried...
Gu Xinian's eyes fell on Ye Qinglan's face casually, and somewhere in his heart began to feel uneasy again.
For a man who has been a vegetarian for six years and has just started eating meat, the feeling of urgency and thirst is definitely not something that ordinary people can understand. If it weren't for Gu Xiyu's presence, he would have been a hungry tiger by now.
Pounced over...
Unfortunately, Gu Xiyu was still chatting with Ye Qinglan enthusiastically and did not notice anything strange about Gu Xinian. Gu Xinian yawned very "subtly".
Gu Xiyu couldn't fail to understand such an obvious hint!
Gu Xiyu really noticed it and said with concern: "Brother, are you sleepy and need a nap?"
My sister is so sweet and considerate! Isn’t what big brother needs now just a "nap"? Gu Xinian accidentally smiled brightly: "Well, I am indeed sleepy." So, you can go!
Gu Xiyu immediately said: "Then you should go to the study and sleep quickly! Otherwise, I will disturb your sleep by talking to my sister-in-law!"
Gu Xinian: "..."
Ye Qinglan turned her head to the side and snickered.
It seemed that his idea of "taking a nap" was about to go to waste! Gu Xinian sighed secretly, stood up and said with a smile: "Then you two talk here, I will go to the study alone." His expression was relatively calm, but his eyes were dull.
That's not the case anymore. He looked at Ye Qinglan again and again, which was very suggestive.
Ye Qinglan suppressed her smile and pretended that she didn't notice anything: "That's fine, I'll have someone call you after sister Xiyu leaves."
Gu Xiyu smiled and said: "Brother, just take a nap in the study in peace. I will always accompany my sister-in-law."
Gu Xinian: "..."
Ye Qinglan almost laughed out loud. However, she deliberately said nothing and looked at Gu Xinian with Gu Xiyu with innocent and pure eyes.
She wouldn't ask him to take a nap or anything like that! It was only in the morning... before it got dark, he couldn't even lay a finger on her again!
Gu Xinian glared at Ye Qinglan calmly, finally got up and left.
Hum, let her go for now, and get back the money and profits tonight! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
