Seeing her relaxed expression, Ye Qinglan winked at Zhixia and others. The maids retreated lightly.
Ye Qinglan took a few steps closer and whispered: "Did Cousin Zheng say something to your uncle and aunt?"
Ye Qingning nodded, a hint of haze flashed in his eyes.
On the day of the birthday banquet, Mrs. Zheng and her aunt, Mrs. Xu, had already secretly formed a tacit understanding. If there were no accidents, it would be time to find someone to officially come to kiss her in the next few days.
Mrs. Zheng had already begun to think about the dowry issue, but she never expected that things would change so suddenly that she was caught off guard.
"This morning, my aunt sent someone to deliver a letter." Ye Qingning finally opened his mouth, with a flash of shame and anger in his eyes: "My cousin told them that he likes cousin Xiyu, and she is the only one he wants to marry.
.”
After receiving the news, Mrs. Zheng was shocked and angry. She couldn't even wait for Ye Chengren to come back to discuss the matter, so she came to Huancui Pavilion and told Ye Qingning about the matter.
Although Ye Qingning had been prepared for it, he was still ashamed and angry when he heard the news. He responded without thinking: "Marry whoever he likes, I don't care."
Mrs. Zheng kept a straight face at that time and reprimanded Ye Qingning a few words. The words were too lengthy and there is no need to repeat them. The point was that she didn't need to worry about anything and could just wait and see if she could marry into Duke Zheng's palace.
"Is this really what aunt said?" Ye Qinglan became more and more uncomfortable the more she listened: "Then what is your aunt's attitude?" Zheng Junyan's attitude was very clear and there was no need to say more. What was Mrs. Xu's reaction?
Ye Qingning twitched the corners of his lips, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Auntie didn't say anything." Mrs. Xu just wrote the matter down on the paper, and sent a steward mother to the Changyuan uncle's house.
That's all.
Didn't say anything...
Ye Qinglan also frowned.
If Mrs. Xu insists on the marriage to Changyuan Uncle Mansion, she should reprimand Zheng Junyan and give him up. If she wants to marry the Gu Mansion, she can use this matter to reject this side. Now such an ambiguous reaction
What's going on?
Ye Qingning sneered and said: "Cousin Xiyu is the only legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo. She has a noble status and is actually more suitable for cousin Zheng. If she is good and has no faults, it will not be too late for my aunt to be happy."
It's a pity that Gu Xiyu was naturally withdrawn and introverted, and she didn't even dare to say a word when meeting strangers. How could she be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Duke Zheng's family with such a temperament?
When she said this, Ye Qinglan suddenly understood. Mrs. Xu was very shrewd. She not only informed Zheng about the matter tactfully, but did not refuse it explicitly. She obviously wanted to observe it for a while before deciding who to choose as her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zheng was unwilling to give up such a good marriage. But Ye Qingning was so proud that he could not tolerate such humiliation. In anger, he and Mr. Zheng started to argue.
Mrs. Zheng always loved her the most and was almost obedient to her, but when it came to this matter, she refused to give in and even scolded her severely.
The more Ye Qingning talked, the more aggrieved she became. When she finally spoke, her eyes were red.
Ye Qinglan comforted her: "Don't be so sad first. Maybe this matter will be solved soon." Mrs. Xu can't keep delaying like this!
Ye Qingning looked stubborn: "Even if my cousin changes his mind in the future, I will not marry him."
Ye Qinglan followed her words and echoed a few words: "That's right, Sixth Sister's appearance and talent are all top-notch. People who want to marry you are probably lined up from the east of the city to the west of the city. Cousin Zheng is too discerning." After a pause.
After a pause, he suddenly added with a smile: "In my opinion, only a man like Cousin Gu is the most suitable for Sixth Sister!"
Hearing Gu Xinian's name unexpectedly, Ye Qingning blushed without reacting, and gave Ye Qinglan a cute and angry look: "That's nonsense again." It was soft, without any strength, but full of the shy charm of a girl.
Ye Qinglan winked playfully and pretended to be innocent: "I am speaking from my heart, not nonsense. Besides, there is no one else here, it's just the two of us. Is there anything I can't say?"
Ye Qingning bit her lip and punched Ye Qinglan a few times in shame.
After having fun, Ye Qingning's mood obviously improved a lot. Ye Qinglan took the opportunity to ask: "By the way, Sixth Sister, there is something I have always been curious about, why has Cousin Gu never gotten married? Did something happen before?
"
Ye Qingning's smile faded, not wanting to talk about this topic: "This was all a few years ago, and I don't know much about it."
Since she refused to say it clearly, Ye Qinglan had no choice but to stop there. But she became more and more curious. She had to find a chance to find out about this matter in the future.
Ye Qingning casually changed the subject: "Are you feeling better?"
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm not sick at all."
What? Ye Qingning was stunned: "Have you been pretending to be sick?" It looks so similar!
Ye Qinglan made up her mind to get closer to her. Of course she had to be honest about these little things, and the more detailed the details, the better: "I want to stay in the capital, so I have to have an excuse. So I started pretending to be sick a few days ago. Six
Sister, I will only tell you this secret to one person, but you must never tell anyone else."
Sharing each other's secrets is the best way to bring two girls closer together.
Ye Qingning's expression changed as expected, and he solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will never tell others."
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. Although Ye Qingning had many shortcomings, none of them was talkative. That was why she felt confident telling Ye Qingning about this.
To say the least, it wouldn't matter even if Ye Qingning leaked this secret. How could her little trick of pretending to be sick really hide it from shrewd housewives like the Jiang family and Zheng family? It's just that they were too lazy to ask about the affairs of the third bedroom.
Just turn a blind eye and close one eye.
"Sixth Sister, can I come with you to pay my respects to my grandmother from tomorrow on?" Taking advantage of Ye Qingning's good mood, Ye Qinglan made the request with a smile.
Ye Qingning responded readily: "Okay, you come to me first, and then we go to see mother together, and mother will lead us to pay our respects to grandma."
This was what Ye Qinglan wanted, and she immediately responded with a smile.
The next morning, Ye Qinglan came early as expected. Her face was still powdered, but she didn't apply any rouge. She looked pale and weak.
It was fine that Ye Qingning didn't know the inside story, but now he knew that Ye Qinglan was pretending to be sick, so he found it funny to see her sick look. He deliberately teased: "Thirteenth sister, your complexion is much worse today than yesterday. But it's okay.
Just take care of yourself."
Ye Qinglan showed no shame and responded with a smile: "Thank you Sixth Sister for your concern. With Sixth Sister's kindness, I will definitely get better as soon as possible."
The thickness of the skin is not on the same level at all!
Ye Qingning gave her a dumbfounded look: "Stop talking so much and leave quickly!"
