It was extremely rude to ask this in front of her. He probably saw that her clothes were not very outstanding and her background was not that high, so he lost some respect.
Ye Qinglan's smile did not diminish, but her eyes darkened slightly.
This Young Master Gu Qi is obviously a direct descendant of the Duke of Dingguo. Gu Xinian ranks fourth, so this Young Master Gu Qi should be Gu Xinian’s cousin. Gu Xinian is handsome, extraordinary, and unparalleled in elegance. What a pity.
, the young master Gu Qi in front of him is far worse than his cousin...
Huang's mother also felt that Young Master Gu Qi was a little too arrogant, but she didn't dare not answer: "This is the cousin of the Changyuan uncle's house. Madam specially ordered the old slave to pick up the cousin to stay for a few days."
The cousin of Changyuan Bofu?
Young Master Gu Qi raised his eyebrows: "I have met the cousin of Uncle Changyuan twice, who is this?" Ye Qingning is both talented and beautiful, and famous, so he naturally knows him. The girl in front of him is not Ye Qingning at all.
, where did it come from?
Mother Huang was about to speak when a sweet and gentle voice suddenly sounded: "I am the tenth in the family. As for my maiden name, please forgive me for not telling you." Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "Mother Huang, it's getting late. My aunt must be
You must be waiting impatiently!”
Mother Huang immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it's all due to my negligence. Miss Ten is here to invite you."
Ye Qinglan nodded gently and passed by the young people without squinting. Her pace was neither fast nor slow, and there was no trace of panic. She never looked back from the beginning to the end.
Young Master Gu Qi looked at the retreating beautiful figure wantonly, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. Some of the aristocratic young men on the side couldn't help but booed: "Yongnian. Stop looking, I don't want to talk to you at all."
Gu Yongnian raised his eyebrows and smiled, his tone full of confidence: "Just wait and see." Since he is a guest in the house and has specially brought luggage and packages, he will definitely stay in the house. He hasn't said anything yet.
opportunity?
The young men laughed and laughed again.
The sound of wanton play reached Ye Qinglan's ears from afar.
Ye Qinglan's expression did not change, but the expressions of Ruixue and others were all ugly. This Young Master Gu Qi was too impudent and rude. Although the young lady was a concubine, she was also a serious daughter of the Changyuan House. How could she tolerate such contempt?
?
Mother Huang also felt ashamed. She said in a low voice: "The one just now is the seventh young master of the second room in our house. The second wife went there early, and the second master has been away for many years, so the seventh young master has been growing up with the old lady, and it is inevitable that he will be a little bit
You are willful, please bear with me, Miss Ten."
Willful? A trace of ridicule flashed in Ye Qinglan's eyes: "Don't worry, Mama Huang. I won't talk too much when I see my aunt later." Mama Huang said this just to remind her that the seventh young master is very favored in the house.
It’s better not to offend him easily. As a concubine, you have no weight in the eyes of others. You should swallow your anger when you are slighted and rude!
Huang's mother was a little embarrassed when her thoughts were revealed. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, we arrived at Jingxinyuan soon.
A pretty maid with an oval face came out with a smile: "My slave Cailian has met Miss Cousin. Madam has been waiting for a long time. Please come with Miss Cousin this way."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded. Following Cailian, Ruixue and others were led to the guest room for accommodation.
As soon as they entered the dining room, they saw Mrs. Zheng sitting at the dining table with a smile. Gu Xiyu had lowered her head and fiddled with her handkerchief. When she heard the footsteps, she immediately raised her head, her eyes shining with joy.
Ye Qinglan was about to step forward to salute Mrs. Zheng when she heard Mrs. Zheng smile gently and say: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite." The kindness in her tone made people feel like spring breeze.
Ye Qinglan didn't hesitate and responded with a generous smile: "Since my aunt said so, I would rather obey her respectfully." Bian sat down next to Gu Xiyu.
The two of them were very close to each other. However, Gu Xiyu showed no sign of rejection, and peace and joy appeared in the corners of her eyes and brows.
Ye Qinglan laughed in a low voice and said, "Cousin Xiyu, I won't bother you much from today on."
Gu Xiyu also responded in a low voice: "Don't bother me, I like it very much."
Looking at those eyes full of trust, Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart. Gu Xiyu is actually a very simple and lovely girl, her likes and dislikes are clearly shown on her face. Getting along with her is actually very simple, as long as you treat her sincerely and calmly
She, she is also kind to herself without reservation.
Mrs. Zheng looked on, feeling extremely pleased. She was deeply glad that she had made such a wise decision.
Every time she was with Ye Qinglan, Gu Xiyu would be like an ordinary girl, whispering in a low voice, or secretly flirting with Ye Qinglan when others weren't paying attention. No matter what secrets they were exchanging, Mrs. Zheng would sincerely
feel happy.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zheng ordered the maids to serve the dishes.
Looking at this posture, Gu Xinian probably won't come to have lunch together.
Ye Qinglan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, before she could finish her breath, she heard the sound of footsteps at the door. Then, a slender and graceful figure appeared at the door.
As gentle as jade, with unparalleled elegance, and a faint smile on the corner of her lips, she was obviously standing very close, but it seemed like she was far away. Who else could it be if it wasn't Gu Xinian?
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to stand up and force out a smile: "I've met Cousin Gu."
Gu Xinian smiled slightly, with deep and peaceful eyes: "Cousin Lan, there is no need to be so polite." He walked forward calmly and sat down next to Mrs. Zheng, and happened to sit face to face with Ye Qinglan.
…
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes secretly in her heart. He had done it on purpose. He deliberately sat opposite her and looked at her with enigmatic eyes from time to time. It made her nervous and uneasy...
Ye Qinglan came close to Gu Xiyu and talked to Gu Xiyu in a low voice. She avoided Gu Xinian's eyes intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Xiyu listened intently, then the corners of her lips raised slightly, and her usually calm and gloomy eyes actually shone with the unique look of a girl.
Gu Xinian looked at Gu Xiyu, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. Then, he looked away lightly.
Seeing that no one was using their chopsticks, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help laughing and said: "What's wrong with you guys? Aren't you hungry? I'm very hungry." As she said that, she picked up a piece of fried, tender and crispy meat.
The sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root are put into the mouth.
Ye Qinglan's stomach was already growling with hunger. Seeing that Mrs. Zheng's food was so sweet, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she lowered her head and started eating. Her table manners were excellent and she couldn't find any fault with her. Her eating appearance was also very gentle, only
I put down my chopsticks after eating half the bowl - it is said that large appetites and elegant snacks are also one of the signs of a wealthy family.
In fact, this little food was not enough to fill her teeth. But when she was a guest, she couldn't act like she was too good at eating. Therefore, she had no choice but to reluctantly put down her chopsticks and pretended to wipe them with a handkerchief gracefully without any oil stains.
Lip corners.
Mrs. Zheng saw this and couldn't help but nodded secretly. But she said with a smile: "Are you full after just eating this little?"
Ye Qinglan smiled gently and said: "I haven't recovered yet, so I can only eat light food, and the doctor has told me to eat small amounts and frequently."
I don't know if it was her imagination, but when she mentioned the words "the body has not recovered yet", Gu Xinian seemed to smile mockingly. She glanced over quickly, but Gu Xinian had a calm expression on his face.
.
Only a very few people knew about her pretending to be ill. It was absolutely impossible to spread the news. What was the reason for Gu Xinian's strange reaction?
Mrs. Zheng asked with concern: "Are you feeling well yet?"
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile: "It's the root cause of the disease that happened in the past. Just rest in peace and rest."
When she mentioned peace of mind and rest, Mrs. Zheng smiled apologetically. After all, mothers are always a little selfish. In order to care for Xiyu, she insisted on inviting Ye Qinglan, who was sick and resting, as a guest...
Ye Qinglan smiled considerately and said: "Auntie, you don't have to worry about trivial matters. Being able to come and accompany cousin Xiyu is what I wish for! Besides, cousin Xiyu doesn't like to move around, so it's just right for me to stay with her."
Gu Xiyu also interjected: "I think it's good too."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with relief.
Gu Xinian remained silent until he suddenly said with a smile: "It's rare that you two are so congenial. Cousin Lan might as well stay a few days longer before going back."
This was exactly what Mrs. Zheng wanted. She nodded after hearing this: "Well, let's just stay here for a few months."
How many months?
Ye Qinglan was startled. This is not a short stay, it is basically a long-term stay...
To be honest, she has no feelings for Changyuan Uncle's Mansion, and it doesn't matter how long she stays in Dingguo Duke's Mansion. Moreover, Gu Xiyu's condition requires long-term treatment, which is not easy to be effective in the short term. It is best to stay as long as possible.
But when these words came out of Gu Xinian's mouth, she always felt that something was wrong...
"Thank you for your kindness, aunt," Ye Qinglan thought in a short moment and already had an idea: "However, in more than a month, it will be Sister Qiao's first birthday party, and I have to rush back..."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said without hesitation: "Okay, then you can stay here for a while. I will send someone to take you back then."
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully.
Mrs. Zheng smiled again and said: "I specially ordered someone to clean up the guest room for you in Jingxinyuan, so you can live in peace of mind. If there is anything missing, just tell Mother Huang."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Zheng arranged for her to live in Jingxinyuan, which can be regarded as a very important thing for her.
In fact, she would rather live in Gu Xiyu's Lengyue Pavilion. The two of them would get along day and night, and it would be convenient for them to receive psychological counseling and treatment. However, as a first-time visitor and a guest, it was really inconvenient to make more requests, so she had to take it step by step.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ye Qinglan's pretty face, then suddenly remembered something, coughed and said, "By the way, I forgot to remind you about something. In addition to Xinian and Xiyu, there is also Yongnian, the second wife in the house.
He has a lively temperament and loves to talk. If you don’t like talking, just avoid him when you see him.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
