Ye Qinglan was shocked, why did she come with him?
Ye Qingning also followed her gaze and looked over, and was also startled: "Why is cousin Xiyu here too?" The beautiful girl following Mrs. Zheng with her head lowered is not Gu Xiyu, but who else?
Gu Xiyu is timid by nature and has always been afraid of crowded and lively places. Why is she willing to come to the flower viewing party this time?
Ye Qinglan's sharp eyes caught sight of Gu Xiyu's body trembling slightly, and she felt an unspeakable anger in her heart. She knew that Gu Xiyu did not come out voluntarily, but must have been forced by Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng may have her own considerations, but as everyone knows, the more she forces Gu Xiyu to get close to the crowd, the stronger Gu Xiyu's rejection of the crowd will be. Not only will autism not be alleviated, but it will become worse.
Mrs. Zheng obviously noticed something strange about Gu Xiyu, but she ignored her. In the past, she was too pampered with her, so she allowed her to become more and more withdrawn. Seeing that she was getting older, it was already time to talk about marriage.
How can you do this despite your age and being so afraid of crowded places?
Mrs. Xu rushed forward with a smile, exchanged a few polite greetings, and her eyes naturally fell on Gu Xiyu.
This beautiful, withdrawn and introverted girl became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as she came in. These curious eyes included good-natured inquiries and malicious speculations. Who doesn't know that Miss Gu from the Dingguo Palace never appears in such social occasions?
, suddenly appeared today and caused quite a stir.
Gu Xiyu lowered her head, but she could still feel many eyes falling on her. Her pretty face was as pale as paper, her mind was blank, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
She felt so uncomfortable, as if she was suffocating and couldn't breathe...
I don't know who touched her accidentally. This touch severely broke the last string in her brain. She screamed reflexively.
The scream was so shrill and high-pitched that everyone in the hall was startled.
The girl who accidentally touched Gu Xiyu was Zheng Min. She never expected that her careless move would trigger such a violent reaction from the other party. Her face suddenly turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes. She apologized incoherently:
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Gu Xiyu hid behind Mrs. Zheng and cried softly.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect to cause such a mess, so she said with some embarrassment: "Sister Min, I was careless for a moment. I'm really sorry."
The person who felt the most uncomfortable at this time was none other than Mrs. Zheng. She had always been elegant and calm in her manners. But at this moment, she was a little overwhelmed and panicked. She couldn't care less about Mrs. Xu's reaction and turned around to hold Gu Xiyu in her arms.
He kept coaxing in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, mother is here, don't be afraid, Yu'er..."
At this time, her intestines were turning green with regret.
If she had known that Gu Xiyu's reaction was so violent, she would never have forced Gu Xiyu to come to the British palace with her. It was better now. In front of so many noble ladies in the capital, Gu Xiyu made such a big fuss.
My reputation as a good friend is completely ruined. Who will dare to come to propose marriage in the future?
Mrs. Zheng seemed to have a concerned look on her face and came forward to comfort her, but there was a trace of unnoticed joy in her heart. This incident was really wonderful. Mrs. Xu had witnessed Gu Xiyu's gaffe, how could it be possible?
Are you considering proposing marriage to Duke Dingguo again? Zheng Junyan, the son-in-law who rides a dragon, is destined to be his daughter Ye Qingning. No one else can take it away...
Gu Xiyu shivered and sobbed in Mrs. Zheng's arms, refusing to look up again.
Mrs. Zheng was anxious, annoyed and regretful. Her mind was in chaos. She, who was always calm and rational, actually lost her sense of control and glared at Zheng Min: "Why did you touch Yu'er?"
As a concubine, this was the first time for Zheng Min to be in such a crowded and lively place. She was already a little nervous, but if she accidentally got into trouble, she was already in tears. When Mrs. Zheng's sharp eyes swept her away, her tears immediately fell.
Come down.
Mrs. Xu suppressed her annoyance and reprimanded Zheng Min in a low voice. Zheng Min could not speak, she just kept lowering her head and crying.
The host, Mrs. Xu, was the most embarrassed. She didn’t know who to persuade first. Both girls were crying. Although their voices were not loud, they had already attracted all the attention. The flower-viewing party hadn’t even started yet.
The situation has become frequent.
"Cousin Xiyu," a sweet and gentle voice sounded.
Everyone looked over in unison. Ye Qinglan, who had been silent all this time, quietly walked to Gu Xiyu's side at some point, and her voice was unusually calm and steady: "It's too noisy here. I'll go out with you to get some fresh air."
A familiar voice reached my ears through the bursts of noise.
Gu Xiyu's crying stopped for a moment.
Ye Qinglan whispered quickly: "Cousin Xiyu, can you look up at me? I am Ye Qinglan, you must still remember me, right?"
Ye Qinglan...
Gu Xiyu raised her misty tearful eyes, and the two traces of tears on her face were extremely obvious. Her timid eyes made people feel pitiful.
Ye Qinglan did not get too close to her, but looked at her with gentle and encouraging eyes: "Let's go out and come back together."
There was an inexplicable light shining in those gentle and calm eyes, which made people calm down unconsciously. Unknowingly, Gu Xiyu's crying stopped.
When Mrs. Zheng saw that Gu Xiyu had stopped crying, she felt happy and quickly echoed softly: "Yu'er, I'll accompany you too."
Gu Xiyu finally nodded and walked out accompanied by Mrs. Zheng and Ye Qinglan.
As soon as Gu Xiyu left, Zheng Min, who was still crying, became extremely eye-catching. Zhang Yue smiled and leaned over, coaxing in a low voice: "Sister Min, please stop crying. Go to the room next door to rest for a while and then come back."
Okay?" He said while dragging Zheng Min out.
The storm finally came to an end.
Mrs. Xu breathed a deep sigh of relief, and continued to greet the ladies of each house with a smile on her face. Everyone was very transparent, and no one mentioned the farce that had just happened, and they chatted and laughed casually. The hall suddenly returned to normal.
The excitement before.
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Xu sat down together. Mrs. Xu's expression was as usual, but Mrs. Zheng knew that her mood at the moment would not be any better. Just now, Mrs. Zheng was in a hurry and scolded Zheng Min, which was very rude.
Even though Zheng Min was just an insignificant concubine, Mrs. Zheng's actions made Mrs. Xu lose face.
"Sister also loves and cherishes jade. I just said something to Sister Min out of urgency." Mrs. Zheng comforted her: "You must not take it to heart."
Mrs. Xu smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I haven't taken these little things to heart yet."
Mrs. Zheng was secretly amused. The calmer Mrs. Xu acted, the more it showed that she was really annoyed. Just be annoyed. She wished Mrs. Xu could be more angry...
Mrs. Xu refused to continue the topic, and glanced at Ye Qingning with a smile: "How are you doing, Sister Ning?"
Ye Qingning twitched the corners of his lips: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. I'm doing very well recently."
Mrs. Zheng thought her attitude was not enthusiastic enough, so she winked at her without leaving any trace. Although Ye Qingning was reluctant, she could only squeeze out a sweet smile: "By the way, aunt, I learned a new song a few days ago.
Can I play it for you when the flower viewing party starts later?"
Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile and made a quick decision in her heart.
Compared with Gu Xiyu, who was always crying and shy of seeing outsiders, the generous and decent Ye Qingning was obviously more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of Zheng Guogong...
Thinking of Gu Xiyu, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but think of Ye Qinglan, and asked tentatively: "When did Sister Lan become so close to Xiyu?" When everyone was at a loss, Ye Qinglan coaxed Gu Xiyu to stop crying and be good.
Going out is not something that ordinary people can do.
Zheng said lightly: "Perhaps the two of them fell in love! Speaking of which, they only met twice." She quietly changed the topic.
Mrs. Xu saw that she didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any questions, and changed the subject very cooperatively. The little accident just now didn't seem to have any impact. Only Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Xu knew each other well, and something happened soon.
It’s time to get started…
At this time, Gu Xiyu, accompanied by Ye Qinglan and Mrs. Zheng, walked out of the crowded and noisy main hall. Her face was wet with tears, her expression was dazed, her mind was dizzy, she didn't know where to go, and she stopped at a loss.
He stopped walking, as pitiful and helpless as a wounded deer.
Seeing her look like this, Mrs. Zheng felt extremely sad, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.
Such a dignified and decent middle-aged lady, who usually attaches great importance to etiquette and demeanor, never refuses to lose her composure in front of others. Now she shed tears in front of an outsider like Ye Qinglan...
Ye Qinglan also felt a little sour in her heart, and her slight dislike for Mrs. Zheng suddenly disappeared.
As a mother who loves her daughter, Mrs. Zheng's move is definitely out of good intentions. It's just that Gu Xiyu is different from ordinary girls, and such a coercive method will only be counterproductive.
Gu Xiyu stared blankly at her weeping mother, feeling increasingly uncomfortable as tears fell from the corners of her eyes. However, her expression was still so bewildered. It was as if she had gotten into a huge disaster but didn't know what to do.
end.
The eldest maid Mo Xiang Feicui and others on the side were all panicked and hurriedly gathered around to comfort him.
Ye Qinglan's identity was quite embarrassing, and nothing seemed appropriate to do at this time. However, Ye Qinglan was born with the ability to make embarrassment a matter of course. She stepped forward and persuaded: "Aunt, it's not convenient to talk here, so we should find a secluded place to wait.
Come on! It won't be too late to come back when cousin Xiyu calms down."
The sweet girl's voice seems to have a magical power that quickly calms people down.
Mrs. Zheng lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. When she raised her head again, her expression was much calmer. After looking around for a moment, she led Gu Xiyu to a nearby pavilion.
The pavilion was surrounded by trees and was quite secluded. The maids were well-trained and guarded the pavilion outside.
But Gu Xiyu, as if she had opened a tear box, her tears never stopped. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
