Seeing that Mrs. Sun's face turned pale with anger, Zhang Yue hurriedly tried to comfort her. Mrs. Sun was so angry that she couldn't listen to a word she said. If she hadn't treated Zhang Yue with special respect and love, she would have even scolded Zhang Yue.
.
Later, Zhang Yue didn't say anything anymore, but she felt a little helpless in her heart. Her grandmother was really too picky about her cousin-in-law Ye Qinglan...
After returning to Izuyunxuan, Ye Qinglan was ordered to lie on the bed by Gu Xinian. Because she was running back and forth and her body was really weak, her expression showed tiredness. But she sighed leisurely: "Grandma really doesn't like me.
"
Under such circumstances, he didn't even care about her health, and wanted to urge her to enter the palace to accompany Empress Gu again. In addition to thinking about Empress Gu, it also showed that Mrs. Sun really didn't like her at all.
Gu Xinian did not refute this obvious fact, but said calmly: "What she thinks is her business. In short, I will never let you enter the palace again." After a pause, there was a rare hesitation in his tone.
And uncertain: "Lan'er, do you feel wronged in your heart?"
Not being liked by the elders is definitely not good news for a new daughter-in-law who has just passed away. This means that in the future life, she must be careful at all times to avoid being picked on and find trouble. He will protect her again.
, after all, I am often away from home...
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, her expression full of calmness and calmness: "My grandmother doesn't like me. I knew it from the beginning. There is nothing wrong with me. Besides, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law treat me so well, and you care about me. I have already
I am very contented and very happy.”
Gu Xinian's eyes softened instantly.
Ye Qinglan smiled playfully and said: "Besides, I have never suffered any loss. But my grandmother is always so angry with me!"
Gu Xinian laughed dumbly. Seeing the joy of her smile, he couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. When he raised his head again, Ye Qinglan's cheeks were a little redder.
"Grandma has a stubborn temper. She favors people she likes in every possible way, but is very picky about people she doesn't like." Gu Xinian obviously didn't have much fondness for this grandmother. He said this with some carelessness and disapproval: "
She gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The one she loved the most was her aunt who married into the palace, but the two sons took a backseat. When it came to her grandchildren, her favorite was Yongnian. She used to think highly of me and be proud of me, but since Shen Qiuyu,
After what happened, the knot between me and her can never be untied."
That heart-wrenching past incident is now mentioned casually, without even causing any ripples in my heart.
Ye Qinglan is so attentive that she can naturally appreciate the subtleties in it. Somehow, her mood immediately improved, and she even joked: "I feel strange too. When it comes to family background, I am indeed a little behind. However, back then, Shen Qiuyu
In other words, she is an orphan who is living in the care of others. She is not better than me! When it comes to appearance and temperament, I am not inferior to anyone. Why does my grandmother just dislike me so much?"
When he said the last sentence, he finally showed a little emotion.
Gu Xinian did not shy away from this topic: "After all, Shen Qiuyu is the granddaughter of my grandmother's sister, and she can be regarded as my grandmother's natal family. Ever since I came to live in the house, I have lived a life of fine clothes and fine food. Compared with Yu'er, she is not much worse.
Later, she and I..." He glanced at Ye Qinglan unconsciously, and left the remaining words unsaid: "Father and mother were actually unhappy in their hearts. Only my grandmother agreed. My father was the most filial, and my mother was also
I had no choice but to let it go. But I didn’t expect that the prince would actually fall in love with Shen Qiuyu, and even asked his grandmother secretly, and she somehow agreed..."
Ye Qinglan was very interested in this past incident. In the past, it was all hearsay. Now it is rare that the person involved is willing to open his mouth. Of course, he has to listen carefully and attentively.
Gu Xinian refused to say any more. After a pause, he brought the topic back: "My grandmother is really ashamed of me in this matter. My grandfather also scolded her several times because of this matter."
.My parents didn’t say anything, but they actually complained a bit in their hearts. Coupled with my cold attitude, the relationship between my grandmother and me became a bit awkward as time went by. I insisted on marrying you, but she refused.
Agree. In the end, I got my wish, and she must have been holding back a lot of anger. She was already prejudiced against you, so now she is doubly making things difficult for you."
Speaking of this, Gu Xinian had a rare hint of apology in his eyes.
Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "Actually, I would have guessed this even if you didn't tell me. If she doesn't like it, I can just let her go. I don't like her that much anyway."
Gu Xinian felt warm in his heart. He held her hand with a little force, and Ye Qinglan snuggled into his arms. They hugged each other silently for a moment, feeling peaceful and beautiful. Even the air seemed to be filled with a sense of tranquility and happiness.
After a long time, Gu Xinian opened his mouth to break the silence: "I haven't been to the official office for two days in a row. I'm afraid that there is a backlog of official business that I haven't dealt with. I have to go over and take a look later. You stay in the room.
Don't run around and rest peacefully. If you feel bored, ask Yu'er to come over and talk to you. Also, don't stop using the detoxification decoction. The imperial physician from the palace will come here every day to take your pulse..."
After all that talk, there was no mention of how to track down the mastermind behind the scenes.
Ye Qinglan wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, she swallowed all these words. Gu Xinian wanted her to rest in peace and did not want her to worry about these things. She just followed his wishes...
For the next few days, Ye Qinglan rested in Izumoken. She drank medicine on time every day, and spent the rest of the time eating and drinking and lying on the bed. When she wanted to get out of bed and move around, several maids put on grim faces and begged.
, saying things like "Young mistress, please don't embarrass this servant", "If the young master finds out, he will definitely be angry and punish this slave". He clearly saw Ye Qinglan's soft heart!
In this way, Ye Qinglan really only had one thing left to do, and she could only lie in bed all day long. Gu Xinian was busy with work and had no time to spare. Even if he turned down all the entertainment, he would only come back after dusk every day.
Fortunately, Gu Xiyu accompanies her every day, Mrs. Zheng comes over at least once a day, and Zhang Yue and Fan visit from time to time, so it's not too boring.
The news that Ye Qinglan was poisoned in the palace did not spread, but everyone in the Dingguo Palace knew it. Fan was sour because she had no right to enter the palace, but now she is only happy. She revealed it intentionally or unintentionally when she spoke.
A little bit of schadenfreude.
Ye Qinglan was too lazy to argue with her and just pretended not to hear it. It was a good thing that Fan had a superficial temperament. She could not hide her plans from discerning people. Having such a concubine's sister-in-law was much better than those shrewd and deep women.
Having said that, although the Fan family is not very good, the two daughters they gave birth to are very lovable. Sister Hui is young but precocious and sensible, while Sister Xian is timid but very cute. On the contrary, she is willful, delicate and loves to cry.
Brother Yun is much more lovable.
However, Mrs. Fan just prefers Brother Yun, but does not care much about her two daughters.
Ye Qinglan also occasionally advised her: "...Sister-in-law, Sister Hui and Sister Xian are both smart and cute. You should put more thought into them when you have free time..."
Fan immediately interrupted her disapprovingly: "Brother and sister, you don't understand this. This son and daughter are different. No matter how good a daughter is, she will have to get married when she grows up, and then she will become someone else's family.
. Sons are different. They have to inherit the incense and pass on the heirs. Only after giving birth to a son can you straighten your back and speak in your husband's family. You have only been married for a few months and the elders have not spoken yet. If you wait a few more
Yue, your stomach hasn’t moved yet, then you’ll have to look at the faces of your parents-in-law and husband..."
Later on, she became more ostentatious. She gave birth to two daughters and a son. No matter where she went, she always had a good reputation.
Ye Qinglan really couldn't bear to hear these patriarchal accents, but she didn't refute. When Gu Xinian came back in the evening, Ye Qinglan asked casually: "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? My sister-in-law was here this afternoon, right? Is she showing off to you that she gave birth to two girls and a son again?"
With just one sentence, I guessed the whole story.
Ye Qinglan hummed and asked again: "Don't talk about it anymore. Answer my question."
Gu Xinian thought for a while and said with a smile: "It would be best to have a son first and then a daughter."
Ye Qinglan was a little disappointed. As expected, they all favored boys over girls. Unexpectedly, Gu Xinian was not exempt from this custom...
"Don't think too much." His slender fingers scraped her nose affectionately: "I actually prefer daughters. However, only by giving birth to a son will you have more confidence in the house. Don't call yourself a mother by then.
, even your grandmother will change her mind about you immediately. Besides, only an older brother knows how to protect his sister."
After what he said, Ye Qinglan also began to think that she should have a son first and then a daughter, and couldn't help but think about this issue seriously.
Seeing that she was thinking so seriously, Gu Xinian couldn't help but laugh, and his tone became ambiguous: "What's wrong, do you want a child? Then I have to work harder and try to get your wish as soon as possible."
Ye Qinglan tried her best to restrain the urge to blush, and spat at him with a smile: "I was just talking casually, who said I want a child now." Although her tone was firm, her heart was not as firm as before.
Forget it this year, maybe you can have a baby after next year...
She was in such a daze that she didn't even notice that someone was coming over with ill intentions. When she realized what she was doing, the restless hand had already reached into her lapel, grasped the softness of her chest, and kneaded it wantonly.
