He didn't make any sound, and Ye Qinglan didn't look back, but she seemed to know that he had come back, and sighed leisurely: "You were right." Somehow, there was a hint of unhappiness and sadness in his words.
.
Gu Xinian calmed down, stepped forward, and hugged her from behind: "This matter has passed, don't worry about it. You and that Xiao Tao are not very familiar, so you don't have to worry about whether she is alive or dead."
Ye Qinglan smiled, and the curve of her lips turned out to be a bit bitter: "She and I are really not familiar with each other. We have only met a few times and have never even spoken to each other. She is willing to be used by others, and she is obviously greedy for money.
Or it is reasonable for someone who is ambitious to end up like this. In fact, I understand all these principles..."
However, when I think of a young life that was lost so lightly because of someone's words, the uncomfortable yet powerless feeling in my heart never goes away.
Perhaps, she should be happy. Fortunately, she became a noble lady after traveling through time. Even if she is a concubine, she is luckier than being a servant or the daughter of a commoner family. Not only does she have no worries about food and clothing, her life is generally comfortable. At least she has not encountered any encounters.
Have been in real danger of life...
Gu Xinian hugged her tightly, but did not say any words to comfort her. Perhaps it was because he knew very well that what she needed at this time was just a pair of listening ears.
"In the place where I lived before, there were actually hierarchies. Rich and powerful people always had more privileges," Ye Qinglan said quietly: "Common people without power and power are indeed easy to suffer. But there is no such thing.
This is such a waste of human life. Anyone who breaks the law must be punished by the law. Men and women are also equal. Women can do everything men can do, and some can even do it better than men."
This was the first time she took the initiative to mention the past. Gu Xinian pricked up his ears silently, refusing to miss a word.
Probably because of this incident, Ye Qinglan was deeply moved, and many words that she would never say on a normal day came out like this: "Actually, after arriving here, I am not used to it. I am not used to having clothes on my hands, food on my hands, and opening my mouth.
I wasn't used to having people waiting on me, I wasn't used to being locked up in the yard every day and couldn't go anywhere, and I wasn't used to having to do nothing. However, I couldn't let anyone notice that something was wrong, so I forced myself to quickly adapt to my future life.
I want to learn to be a noble lady. I always thought that I did a good job. But today I know that no matter how good I pretend to be, I will never become someone like you in my heart."
Speaking of this, Ye Qinglan sighed dejectedly. She would never be able to regard human life as an ant, and she would never understand the practice of sacrificing a human life in vain just to plot against others!
Gu Xinian finally spoke: "I didn't expect that Xiao Tao's death would make you have such thoughts..."
"Are you trying to say that all this is just a fuss?" Ye Qinglan turned her head and met his eyes: "I really hope that I am just thinking wildly. When I wake up, I won't think about anything anymore.
Maybe, I really should listen to you, don't care about anything, don't ask anything, just stay in the yard with peace of mind every day, like all the noble women at this time, reading, writing, embroidering and raising birds to pass the time. After a few years,
Two more lovely children. No matter how busy I am with raising children, my busy life may just pass by like this..."
Gu Xinian was secretly shocked. Something was really wrong with Ye Qinglan today. That strong, optimistic and brave woman now looked confused and lonely, as if... she had lost something very important.
It seemed like it made his heart ache.
He suddenly didn't dare to listen anymore, he lowered his head and sealed her lips, swallowing all her words into his mouth.
Her lips were soft, but a little cool. He tossed and turned and kissed her for a long time before the lips became warm. She accepted his kiss softly, but did not respond as enthusiastically as before.
Gu Xinian finally raised his head, his eyes fixed on the pretty face that finally had a slight blush: "Lan'er, I know you feel uncomfortable. I don't know what the world you lived in before was like.
But after all, you have memories of your previous life, but now you have to adapt to a completely different environment and life. It must be very uncomfortable, and there are many unspeakable grievances. But you cannot deny everything now and everything in the past just because of these.
, are your precious memories. But everything now is the reality you have to face, and it is also your future. You can’t deny it completely just because you can’t stand some things. Now that you have me, I will accompany you through it.
At the end of this long life, you still have good sisters like Yu'er and cousin Qingning, and there are many people who like you and you also like you. Are so many people not as good as your memories and past? "
When he said the last sentence, his expression became excited, and his eyes lost their previous reserve and indifference, like a burning flame, tightly surrounding her.
Staring closely at those bright and hot eyes, Ye Qinglan finally came to her senses and suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Yes, what happened to her today? She has been depressed for a long time just because of this matter. Fortunately, she still claims to be calm, rational and intelligent, but she can't even figure out this truth. The past can only be the past, and it will be useless to remember it.
.The most important thing in life is to live in the present. But she got into a dead end and couldn't get out of it, and she said so much in front of Gu Xinian...
Like a roundworm in her belly, Gu Xinian added: "Actually, I'm very happy that you are willing to tell me this. We are husband and wife now, and if there is anything unhappy, we should speak it out frankly.
Even if I can't do anything, I am still willing to be sad with you."
He was obviously not used to saying these sweet words to coax people, and the look on his face was unusually awkward.
Ye Qinglan's nose was slightly sour, and the sweetness and warmth in her heart gradually drove out the cold and dark negative emotions in her heart. Her mood gradually calmed down, and she said with some embarrassment: "My mood is indeed a bit depressed today. You
Even though I said this that day, I still had some luck in my heart, hoping that the prince would listen to the princess's advice and be willing to bring Xiao Tao back for re-interrogation in private. Unexpectedly, what I heard today was the news of Xiao Tao's death...
..."
After saying that, he sighed lightly, cheered up and said with a smile: "You are right, this time Shen Qiuyu planned it first and won the round. When it is time to admit defeat, you have to admit defeat, and you will find opportunities to regain the disadvantage in the future."
That’s it.”
Finally cheered up again.
Gu Xinian smiled and kissed her on the face: "You are right to think so. Don't worry, I will never let her go if she dares to scheme against you. To deal with such a person, you have to use conspiracy and calculation.
Fight back. She had calculated in her mind before, so even the Crown Prince and Empress Gu fell into the trap. The Crown Princess and Concubine Lin were even more calculated. However, once a person is proud of his glory, there will inevitably be oversights.
From now on, it will be our turn to plot against her."
Ye Qinglan still didn't like the word calculation, but she couldn't be soft-hearted when dealing with people like Shen Qiuyu. So, she just smiled lightly: "I have no objection to these, I will listen to you."
Gu Xinian lowered his head and glanced at her. Seeing that her mood was still not very high, he suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't it boring to stay in the house every day? I'll take a bath in a few days. How about I take you out of the house for a walk?" good?"
He tried so hard to make her happy, and of course Ye Qinglan couldn't help but appreciate it, and smiled in a flattering manner: "Of course, where are you going to take me to relax?"
Gu Xinian thought for a while and said, "I haven't been back to my grandfather's house for a long time. Let's go to Zheng Guogong's mansion to spend a day."
Ye Qinglan's original smile was forced, but when she heard this sentence, she was completely surprised. She hugged his neck and smiled so sweetly.
I haven’t seen Ye Qingning for a long time, and Meng Zijun... There is no doubt that Gu Xinian is petty. After getting married, Ye Qinglan never asked to go to Zheng Guogong’s mansion, so as not to cause Gu Xinian’s displeasure. No Thinking that he actually offered to take her on a vacation today...
Gu Xinian stared at her happy smiling face and waved away the sourness in his heart. As long as he could make her smile, he would let her meet the friend she wanted to see!
The next day, Gu Xinian sent a letter to Duke Zheng's mansion.
Ye Qingning was about to give birth, and she didn't even step out of the courtyard, not to mention how bored she was. Naturally, she was very happy to receive such a message. She talked about it with Zheng Junyan that night.
Zheng Junyan smiled and said: "It's good to let the tenth sister accompany you, so that you won't have to shout and be bored all day long."
Ye Qingning nodded with a smile, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said: "By the way, you can take advantage of these few days to go to the Ministry of Justice and ask Cousin Meng to come back that day. It's rare to have time to get together." , the more people there are, the more lively it is.”
Zheng Junyan was stunned and said reflexively: "I'm afraid this is not good! How could Cousin Gu not mind if he met Cousin Meng?"
Ye Qingning smiled meaningfully: "This is what Cousin Gu personally ordered. I just did what he wanted."
...Zheng Junyan was completely stunned.
It makes sense that Gu Xinian brought Ye Qinglan as a guest. But why did he specifically ask Meng Zijun to come back? Gu Xinian knew everything about Meng Zijun's intentions towards Ye Qinglan. , I was still jealous for a long time because of this. Why are you so generous now?
I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out!
Seeing Zheng Junyan's look, Ye Qingning couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't say you can't figure it out. In fact, I was also confused when I heard this! I don't know what kind of medicine was sold in cousin Gu's gourd. .When we meet in a few days, everything will be clear."
Zheng Junyan laughed dumbly and nodded. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
