Before Gu Xiyu's smile could spread, it suddenly collapsed again.
Mrs. Zheng burst into laughter, and then sighed secretly. Gu Xiyu's withdrawn and introverted attitude has indeed improved a lot, and she no longer loses her composure when interacting with people. But this simple temper cannot be changed. What will happen if she gets married like this?
What? Being a daughter-in-law is completely different from when she was not married...
Ye Qinglan seemed to have noticed Mrs. Zheng's thoughts, and lowered her voice and laughed: "My mother-in-law is worried, so why don't we just let sister Xiyu marry a husband who loves her."
Of course Mrs. Zheng knew who she was talking about, and couldn't help but sigh: "He is a military general after all. If there is a war, he will have to go to the battlefield. At that time, Yu'er will be alone in the empty room...
....”
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "This problem is easy to solve. If he is not in the capital for a long time, just let sister Xiyu live in her parents' house. With us taking care of her together, there is nothing to worry about."
These words were firmly spoken into Mrs. Zheng's heart. She stared at Ye Qinglan and suddenly sighed: "Xinian is really lucky to marry you."
A married daughter is a spoiler, and it is always inappropriate to go back to her parents' home for a long time. It is easy to cause complaints and complaints from the daughter-in-law. Therefore, even though Mrs. Zheng had thought about this before, she was inconvenient to say it out loud.
Thinking about it, Ye Qinglan didn't mind at all and even took the initiative to say it...
It was of course extremely pleasant to hear such words coming from my mother-in-law's mouth.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "I am lucky to be able to marry my husband and have a good mother-in-law like you." This sentence is absolutely sincere and sincere.
There is no need to elaborate on how Gu Xinian treated her. A kind and amiable mother-in-law like Mrs. Zheng is hard to find in the world.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and made a rare joke: "If you give birth to a fat and white boy as soon as possible, you will be filial to me."
In the past, when Ye Qinglan encountered this topic, she would hide whenever she could. But this time when she brought it up face to face, she couldn't hide even if she wanted to. She could only smile and said, "You don't need to tell me this. My daughter-in-law is also looking forward to opening up branches for the Gu family as soon as possible."
Where is Ye!"
Mrs. Zheng's eyebrows immediately widened, and before she could say anything, Gu Xiyu interrupted enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant with a baby too?"
Ye Qinglan coughed: "Not yet!"
Gu Xiyu was obviously a little disappointed, but she did not forget to encourage Ye Qinglan: "Then you and your eldest brother must work harder and try to conceive a baby as soon as possible."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
In the evening, Gu Xinian learned about this conversation and couldn't help laughing.
Ye Qinglan glared at him in embarrassment: "It's all your fault. If you say anything bad or say something about working hard or not working hard in front of her, she will remember it in her heart now. Just ask me about it if you have nothing to do!"
This made her, a person who has always been very thick-skinned, feel so ashamed that she had no place to stay.
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows evilly: "What's there to be ashamed of? I happen to have a rest tomorrow, so there's no need to rush to get up early. Let's work hard all night..." As he said that, he came over, not serious.
up and down its hands.
Ye Qinglan blushed and pushed him away. She declared righteously: "You don't have to get up early tomorrow, but I have to get up early."
Gu Xinian was a little dissatisfied: "It's rare for me to take a day off, so can't you stay with me more?"
"I have just started to learn housekeeping. If I arrive late, what will the stewards think of me? What will my mother-in-law think?" Ye Qinglan's position is very firm: "In short, I want to arrive at Jingxinyuan at the beginning of the month.
"
Gu Xinian snorted angrily, his displeasure evident in his words: "Look at you now. When you open your mouth or shut up, you are the housekeeper, the director, the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law. I, a serious husband, have no place in your heart."
Ye Qinglan was both angry and funny. She rolled her eyes and said, "I've never seen a man jealous of his own mother and sister!"
Gu Xinian absolutely refused to admit that he was a narrow-minded man and immediately retorted: "I'm not jealous of them. However, shouldn't you put more time and energy into me?"
After all, isn’t it pantothenic acid?
Ye Qinglan also imitated his example and raised her eyebrows, and looked back with a half-smile.
...
Gu Xinian coughed and changed the subject: "Autumn is coming soon. Your eldest brother will definitely end this year. With his talent and hard work, it shouldn't be difficult to win the exam."
Ever since Ye Yuanzhou forgot his past experience, Ye Qinglan's wariness towards his elder brother has been greatly reduced. Although the relationship between brother and sister is weak, after all, there is a blood relationship, and he should be more concerned both emotionally and rationally.
"I also hope that he can pass the exam this year. If he keeps working hard next spring, it will be great if he gets the Jinshi." Ye Qinglan didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed: "By that time, he won't have to stay all day long.
I am in the Imperial College and will not return home..."
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed and he keenly captured the meaning of her words: "Are he and cousin Min not getting along well?"
Ye Qinglan sighed softly: "I haven't had any quarrels, but I am too cold. I often don't go back to my house for two or three months. My sister-in-law is alone in the empty boudoir every day, which is quite pitiful." Her voice lowered unconsciously.
: "On the day when Sixth Sister's child had her third bath, my sister-in-law also went there. She complained in front of us. I felt really bad when I heard her complain."
After all, the discord between their husband and wife has something to do with her...
Gu Xinian looked disapproving: "This is a matter between the couple and it has nothing to do with you. You have nothing to feel guilty about!" For him, as long as Ye Yuanzhou stays far away from Ye Qinglan and doesn't touch anything he shouldn't.
Just think about it!
Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
Seeing that she was in a low mood, Gu Xinian felt bad. After thinking about it, he said, "I can't help much with the scientific examination. However, as long as he passes the Jinshi examination, I can find a good job for him that is more leisurely."
.Let him have more time to go home and accompany his beloved wife.”
Ye Qinglan hummed and snuggled into his arms. The two hugged each other silently and didn't speak for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed, but Gu Xinian suddenly brought up another topic: "There is another war at the border. The emperor announced today that General Shen will lead the army there. The Ministry of War mobilized and dispatched soldiers, and the Ministry of Household Coordination coordinated money and food. The situation is urgent.
, the army will have to set off in five days. Therefore, I will probably be busy until very late these days. Tomorrow's Xiumu will also be automatically cancelled." Qianqing said that Xiumu was deliberately teasing her.
Ye Qinglan was about to say something coquettishly when an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered what he had said before, and was shocked: "You said before that General Shen fell into the enemy's trap and was seriously injured.
Chang'an went to the battlefield in place of his father, is this just the case?"
Gu Xinian hummed lightly.
Ye Qinglan suddenly gasped, and it took him a while to realize: "Since you know what will happen, what are you going to do?" Are you going to let it go and let things develop according to the trajectory of the previous life? Or are you going to turn the tide and change everything?
Gu Xinian was silent for a moment and then said: "I have no grudge against General Shen. Leaving aside Shen Chang'an, I also admire General Shen's character. I can't bear to see him return to Beijing after being defeated and seriously injured. But , this matter is not as simple as you think. Even if you want to help, you have to think about it in the long term."
Ye Qinglan sensed something was wrong and asked tentatively: "You mean, General Shen's defeat in the war was not entirely due to him, but to someone who caused trouble?"
Gu Xinian nodded sharply: "Yes."
Ye Qinglan frowned and subconsciously asked: "Who is that person?"
Gu Xinian replied calmly: "It's me!"
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Gu Xinian was not used to explaining anything, but the moment he felt the tender body in his arms stiffen, a series of words came out naturally: "At this time in my previous life, I was close to the prince on the surface, but in fact I had been with him secretly for a long time. The three princes formed an alliance. General Shen held military power and was highly valued by the emperor, so both the prince and the third prince wanted to win him into their camp. The empress wanted Yu'er to marry Shen Chang'an because she wanted to do so through marriage. I tried my best to win over the Shen family. Because I refused to agree, the quarrel was very unhappy. There happened to be another war, and General Shen was going to the battlefield. I didn't like Shen Chang'an, so I wanted to drive him to the border. So I secretly delayed the food and grass. Originally, I wanted General Shen to lose one or two battles, and then I could logically 'suggest' that the court increase its troops and let Shen Changan lead troops to reinforce..."
The third prince was also in favor of this strategy, and secretly sent a spy to General Shen behind Gu Xinian's back. He then secretly instructed the spy to spread rumors quietly at critical moments. In this way, the soldiers who were short of food and fodder Their unstable mood also indirectly affected General Shen's judgment of the military situation. As a result, he fell into the enemy's treacherous plan and suffered a major defeat. He was surrounded and pursued by the enemy and was seriously injured.
Ye Qinglan felt cold sweat break out on her back and couldn't help but frown: "Why did the Third Prince do this without telling you?"
Gu Xinian raised the corners of his lips, and a sarcastic sneer flashed in his eyes: "Because the person in charge of coordinating the war at that time was the prince. If he won the battle, it would be a great credit to the prince. He wished he could lose this battle. Well, when the emperor is angry, he will definitely vent his anger on the prince. Moreover, even if the delay in food and grass is discovered, it will only be blamed on me. On the surface, I am a princeling, and he will be included when the time comes. The blame was placed on the prince. This is also true. After the defeat, the prince was severely scolded and ordered to reflect on himself in the prince's palace. Later, the person who took over the matter was replaced by the third prince."
What a vicious plan that kills two birds with one stone!
He not only tricked the prince, but also dug a hole for Gu Xinian. When later traced, Gu Xinian could not escape the blame! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your Support is my biggest motivation.)
