Both Zheng and Ye Qingning were looking at Ye Qinglan. However, their thoughts were completely opposite.
One hopes that she will take the initiative to refuse the matter, so as to avoid troubles after Gu Xiyu gets better. The other hopes that if she nods quickly, she might have more opportunities to visit the Dingguo Palace in the future...
"Auntie," Ye Qinglan slowly opened her mouth: "I am not well yet. I should rest and rest. It is not suitable to leave the house and move around at all..."
Zheng's expression softened a little, but before her faint smile could spread, she heard Ye Qinglan's words change: "But my aunt was so kind and kind, and I was really embarrassed to refuse. So I had to accept it shamelessly."
Zheng's smile froze at the corners of her lips: "Have you really thought about it?"
Ye Qinglan raised her head and responded quietly: "Yes, I have already thought about it."
She knew very well that such a decision would definitely make Mrs. Zheng unhappy. As long as Gu Xiyu remained as she was, Mrs. Xu would never think of proposing a marriage. The marriage between Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan would be a matter of course and would never happen again.
Waves.
Based on her personality, she should have ignored the matter according to Zheng's wishes. Zheng was happy and would definitely treat her better in the future. She would also be able to gain a better foothold in the house...
But as soon as he thought of Gu Xiyu's timid and longing eyes, these trade-offs suddenly became less important.
As long as Gu Xiyu can be completely cured, she won't care even if it offends Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath and pretended to be indifferent and said: "That's fine, since you have this intention, I will immediately send someone to the Dingguo Duke's Mansion to deliver a letter. You go back first and have someone pack your luggage. Where is the Dingguo Duke's Mansion?"
I will send someone to pick you up in a day or two at most and stay there for a while."
Ye Qingning's lips moved, and when she was about to say something, Mrs. Zheng glanced at her coldly, and Ye Qingning swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Mrs. Zheng had no intention of letting her go with her to Duke Dingguo's Mansion...
Ye Qinglan stood aside obediently, and agreed obediently no matter what Zheng said. However, no matter how well-behaved and honest she was now, Zheng still looked displeased in every way. This girl has always been smart and smart. It is impossible.
He couldn't guess what he was thinking, but he made such a decision. He clearly had an agenda...
Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, she didn't know what she thought of, and she gave Ye Qinglan a meaningful look.
Ye Qinglan kept thinking about Zheng's thoughts in her heart, but her face remained calm.
Mrs. Zheng coughed lightly and casually ordered: "It's been a tiring day today. You should go back and rest first!"
Ye Qinglan bowed respectfully and resigned. Ye Qingning followed suit without thinking. Zheng wanted to say a few more words to Ye Qingning, but when she saw that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she couldn't help but softened. She sighed and waved her hand to indicate that she could leave.
.
Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left with Ye Qinglan. As soon as they left Luomei Courtyard, Ye Qingning whispered: "Ten sisters, I will go find you tonight."
Ye Qinglan hummed. It was difficult to talk on the road, so the two of them whispered a few words and then parted ways.
After returning to Hefengyuan, Ye Qinglan ordered Ruixue and others to pack their luggage.
Ruixue asked: "Miss, how long will it take to stay at Duke Dingguo's Mansion this time? Do you need to bring more clothes?"
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter: "I'm just going to stay for a few days. I'm not staying there forever and won't come back. Just bring some clothes with you." She has serious things to do during this trip, and she wants to show her all her fancy clothes.
?
Ye Qinglan rarely acted like a master, and Rui Xue felt much more relaxed in front of her, boldly teasing: "In addition to Mr. Gu, there must be young and promising young masters in the Duke Dingguo's mansion. The young lady doesn't want to take advantage of this.
Is it a good opportunity?”
Ye Qinglan spat at her half-jokingly: "Who do you think I am? Besides, I have very high standards. I don't look down on random people."
Ruixue smiled and probed: "What about Mr. Gu? I look at you, Mr. Gu seems to have a special regard for the young lady!" The last time in Dingguo Gong's mansion, everyone could see the special attention Gu Xinian paid to Ye Qinglan.
.
Ye Qinglan raised her delicate brows and smiled casually: "Do you think he might like me?"
Ruixue was startled when she was asked.
Ye Qinglan tugged at the corner of her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Ruixue, you are with me every day. There are some things that you should be aware of without me saying anything. It's okay to say this in front of me. I just
Take it as a joke. But if others hear it, what will they think of me?"
They will definitely laugh at her, a concubine who doesn't know the bounds of the world and has such wishful thinking.
Ruixue blushed in shame and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's my slave who has overstepped..." Ye Qinglan's tone was gentle, but the meaning behind her words was obvious. She was clearly blaming her for talking too much.
Ye Qinglan smiled lightly and said: "I know you said that out of good intentions, but you should think more before speaking next time."
Ruixue had cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, and she responded obediently.
Ye Qinglan typed a few words and said no more. After dinner, Ye Qinglan casually picked up a book to pass the time. Since Ye Qingning said he would come, he should not break the appointment.
After waiting for about half an hour, Ye Qingning arrived.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly stood up and came over. Ye Qingning was thoughtful, smiled casually, and sat down in silence.
The maids all retreated knowingly. Only two confidant maids, Ruixue and Zhixia, were left to serve. Zhixia winked at Ruixue, and Ruixue understood. The two quietly retreated and stood guard outside the door.
In this way, only Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan were left in the room. It was just the right time for some private conversations.
Ye Qingning didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face was gloomy. After a long while, he said in a low voice: "Thirteenth sister, do you think cousin Xiyu will get better in the future?" The thoughts of a girl were revealed in these words.
Nothing left.
Ye Qinglan nodded affirmatively: "Cousin Xiyu will definitely get better." She will definitely cure Gu Xiyu's autism.
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up, full of hope: "If cousin Xiyu gets better, will my aunt go to Dingguogong's mansion to propose marriage?" By then, she and Zheng Junyan will not be forced into one.
correct……
Ye Qinglan didn't say a word, just looked at Ye Qingning quietly.
Ye Qingning felt uncomfortable being looked at: "Thirteenth sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Sixth sister," Ye Qinglan suppressed her smile and asked seriously: "What exactly are you thinking? Are you really unwilling to marry Cousin Zheng?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Ye Qingning's eyes, and she murmured: "I don't know either..." The girl's mind was like a gust of wind in spring, it could change at any time, and even she herself didn't know exactly what she was thinking about.
What she likes is Gu Xinian, but even she knows very well that Gu Xinian only has an ordinary cousin relationship with her, and there is no love between a man and a woman at all. Her girlish feelings are indeed what Zheng said
That's just wishful thinking. Zheng Junyan is the best choice.
But just obeying her parents' orders to marry Zheng Junyan, she felt unwilling to do so...
Ye Qinglan quietly looked at Ye Qingning, whose expression was changing, and suddenly felt a trace of sympathy in her heart. This beautiful and proud girl in front of her had a top-notch appearance, family background, and talents, but she also had so many troubles.
The so-called happiness often has nothing to do with these external conditions.
"Sixth sister, if you really don't want to marry Cousin Zheng, you can talk to your eldest aunt. She loves you so much, and she will definitely stick to you." Ye Qinglan said slowly, paying careful attention to Ye Qingning.
Reaction.
Ye Qingning gave a bitter smile and sighed: "It's impossible. My mother is determined to let me marry my cousin. She can't give up just because I say a few words."
Zheng has had this plan since a long time ago, and has never been shy about letting Ye Qingning know. Ye Qingning also has some affection for his cousin Zheng Junyan, who grew up together, and has not really resisted this matter. Until the past two years, when Ye Qingning was older
As time goes by, I finally understand the feeling of carefree love, and finally understand who the person I really like in my heart is.
Ye Qinglan pondered for a moment and then said seriously: "Sixth Sister, if you like Cousin Gu so much, why don't you give it a try?"
Give it a try?
Ye Qingning had a look of astonishment on her face as she savored these words carefully. When the realization came to her, her heart started to beat involuntarily. Can she really give it a try?
Ye Qinglan's voice sounded like a dream in her ears: "If you like someone, you should at least let him know. If he is willing to accept your affection, everyone will be happy. Even if he doesn't respond, at least you will be happy for him.
I have worked hard on my relationship. No matter who I marry in the future, I will not have any regrets."
These words were both direct and bold. Ye Qingning was dumbfounded and was speechless for a long time.
Ye Qinglan was extremely calm, as calm as if she was chatting about whether the weather will be sunny or cloudy tomorrow: "I have tried it, and at least there is a glimmer of hope. If you don't have the courage to give it a try, then you have no chance at all. In the end, what will happen?
How you do it is up to you."
Ye Qingning looked at Ye Qinglan blankly.
It's obviously still the familiar face, but the calmness and calmness between the brows are so unfamiliar...
Ye Qinglan knew that Ye Qingning must have been greatly shocked at this moment. Although Ye Qingning was reserved, cold and arrogant, at heart she was a helpless girl tightly bound by feudal ethics. It would be strange not to be shocked when she heard such "rebellious and unethical" words.
However, she definitely didn't mean to encourage Ye Qingning to do anything. She just wanted Ye Qingning to take this opportunity to think clearly about what she wanted.
Ye Qingning thought about it for a long time.
Ye Qinglan didn't speak any more, but just stayed with Ye Qingning quietly. She looked at Ye Qingning's hesitant frown, and looked at Ye Qingning's hesitation and dilemma. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
