Gu Xinian stared closely at Ye Qinglan's face, as if trying to see through her true emotions under her smile.
Ye Qinglan said with a normal expression: "Cousin Xiyu told me that it was not because of accident that she fell into the water, but because someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. She was startled, her foot slipped, and she fell into the pool.
.”
Yu'er even told her this!
Gu Xinian's face was so dark that it was hard to tell what his emotions were.
But Ye Qinglan could see the emotional fluctuations in his eyes, and couldn't help but add a few more words: "That's okay, the most hateful thing is that after the man saw her falling into the water, he didn't call for help in time, but ran away. If
Either someone happens to be passing by and saves her, but I'm afraid cousin Xiyu died when she was six years old and won't be able to survive today."
Gu Xinian's breathing was a little unsteady: "Yu'er even told you this. What else did she say?"
Ye Qinglan had the upper hand, but was not in a hurry to reveal her trump card. Instead, she asked with a smile: "Cousin Gu, cousin Qingning is about to get engaged to cousin Zheng. Do you know about this?"
The conversation changed so quickly, but Gu Xinian responded even faster: "Of course I know." Ye Qinglan was a little surprised by his determined tone.
This matter is still in the process of being brewed and has basically been officially decided. How could Gu Xinian's tone be so certain?
Ye Qinglan suppressed this doubt and continued: "But cousin Qingning admires you wholeheartedly and is unwilling to agree to this marriage..."
"Nonsense!" Gu Xinian frowned and said as if talking to himself: "She and Jun Yan are just a couple, how come they have such thoughts that they shouldn't have!"
Ye Qinglan's heart moved. A vague idea seemed to flash past. But it was so fast that it was hard to catch...
Gu Xinian had already looked over, his eyes a little strange: "Do you still have something to say?"
Facing Gu Xinian, who was extremely insightful and keen, Ye Qinglan did not dare to relax at all, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a little thing to ask cousin Gu."
A small thing? Gu Xinian seemed to have guessed something. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were slightly mocking and insightful: "Tell me about it!"
Ye Qinglan coughed and said with a smile: "For cousin Gu, this matter is just a trivial matter. However, for the sixth sister, it is very important. I hope cousin Gu can show his affection for the cousins.
superior……"
"Let's get to the point!" Gu Xinian interrupted Ye Qinglan with some impatience. He seemed ready to get up and leave without getting to the point.
Ye Qinglan immediately said: "Actually, it's very simple. I just want to ask cousin Gu to explain it clearly to Sixth Sister in person, so that Sixth Sister can completely stop this unnecessary worry. From now on, Sixth Sister can also marry Cousin Zheng with peace of mind.
"
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Qinglan, and said nothing for a long time.
What does this reaction mean? Ye Qinglan secretly murmured in her heart. If you agree or disagree, give me a happy word!
Sure enough, Gu Xinian opened his mouth, but the content had nothing to do with Ye Qingning: "Besides telling you the reason why Yu'er fell into the water, did you say anything else?" He actually used the same method she had just used to deal with her!
Ye Qinglan reluctantly responded: "I also said a few things."
Gu Xinian asked without giving up, "What did you say?"
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled: "Cousin Gu, if I tell you all this, will you agree to my request just now?"
Gu Xinian narrowed his eyes slightly and was noncommittal.
Ye Qinglan didn't say anything. She just looked at him intently. As long as he didn't nod, she wouldn't say another word.
There was an inexplicable tension in the air, and it was so quiet that one could only hear each other's breathing. Both of them looked relaxed on their faces, but in fact, they were constantly spinning various thoughts, thinking about how to use their own advantages to test.
The other party’s bottom line…
A knock on the door suddenly broke the silence in the house.
"Master, I have brought your clothes here." It was the voice of the young man.
Gu Xinian was not in the mood to change clothes at this time, so he casually ordered: "Okay. Leave it for now, I will change it later." Wanfu responded. Then he waited outside the door obediently.
Time is running out, Gu Xiyu will come over at any time. The two people's eyes met, and they immediately understood what the other meant.
"Let me say it first," Ye Qinglan whispered quickly: "Cousin Xiyu also told me..."
A familiar footsteps sounded from the door of the inner room. It was Gu Xiyu here!
Ye Qinglan shut up helplessly. If you didn't come earlier, why would you show up at this most critical time? I'm afraid it won't be easy to find such a good time to be alone next time...
Gu Xiyu entered the room and felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it. Mo Xiang and Feicui were different. Their eyes quietly moved around Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian.
The maids and servants all left. They were the only two in Nuo Da's room, and something felt wrong no matter how they thought about it.
But if you think about it more carefully, how could Gu Xinian be fascinated by a young and immature twelve-year-old girl who has never seen such a beauty? What's more, both of them looked very natural, without any discomfort or discomfort.
It's embarrassing. It makes anyone who thinks too much about it feel dirty.
The more I think about it, the more confused I become...
Ye Qinglan chatted and laughed with Gu Xiyu in a low voice as if nothing had happened. Gu Xinian stood up and went to the next door to change into a brand new moon-white brocade robe.
It was obviously a sober color, but once it was worn on Gu Xinian, it somehow turned out to be exceptionally good-looking. His features became clearer, more handsome, and his temperament was outstanding.
The maids couldn't help but secretly take a few more glances.
Ye Qinglan took a quick glance and then looked away. Although the handsome man was good-looking, it was a pity that his mind was too deep. Such a man could not be easily provoked, and the further away, the safer it would be. If it weren't for the matter that Ye Qingning entrusted to him, it would still be unfinished.
OK, she didn't want to get even half a step closer to him.
However, Gu Xiyu leaned over naturally and pulled Gu Xinian's sleeve.
Gu Xinian was obviously used to Gu Xiyu's dependence and intimacy on him, and said with a smile: "We have been delayed for such a long time. Mother must be anxious, so let's get there quickly!"
Gu Xiyu nodded, stretched out her other hand and squeezed Ye Qinglan's hand tightly. With Gu Xiyu in the middle, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian were invisibly closer to each other.
Ye Qinglan felt inexplicably awkward and pulled her hand back without any trace.
Gu Xiyu suddenly felt aggrieved: "Don't you like me holding you like this?" She was much more sensitive and fragile than ordinary girls, and small things that seemed insignificant to others became big things to her.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to hold Gu Xiyu's hand again: "It doesn't matter, as long as you like it, I can't wait to hold your hand all the time!"
Gu Xiyu was very easy to coax, and she felt no longer aggrieved after hearing this. She happily held Ye Qinglan's hand and walked forward.
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan indifferently, whether it was teasing or mocking. Ye Qinglan just pretended not to see it. So, the three of them walked to Jing Xinyuan. Apart from Gu Xinian's mocking eyes and Ye Qinglan's depression, there was also
Apart from the strange looks from the maids, everything else was fine.
Mrs. Zheng heard the movement and came out with a smile. After seeing this scene, she was also stunned.
Speaking of which, there is actually Gu Xiyu between Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian. There is no physical contact between the two of them, which is definitely not rude. But for some reason, there is something slightly wrong with this scene...
Having learned from the past, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but take the initiative to withdraw her hand and couldn't help but glance at Gu Xinian.
Gu Xinian turned a blind eye and allowed Gu Xiyu to hold his sleeve with her left hand and Ye Qinglan with her right hand.
Ye Qinglan's teeth itched with hatred. She was not narcissistic enough to think that Gu Xinian was interested in her. He was simply deliberately causing trouble for her. As long as she was uncomfortable, he felt happy.
How did she offend him?
Mrs. Zheng greeted with a smile: "Lunch has been prepared a long time ago, why did you take so long to come here?" She deliberately did not look at Ye Qinglan's slightly embarrassed face, so as to prevent the girl from being too shy and unable to get off the stage.
Gu Xinian smiled: "It took me a while to change clothes."
"Why don't you change your clothes?" Mrs. Zheng laughed dumbly. Xiyu didn't care. She had been painting for a long time, so she naturally wanted to change into something clean. Gu Xinian followed and joined in the fun.
Gu Xinian seemed to know what Mrs. Zheng was thinking, and glanced at Ye Qinglan meaningfully, but said nothing.
Gu Xiyu's voice rang out: "Cousin Lan fell off the swing just now. Fortunately, my eldest brother caught her in time. However, my eldest brother's clothes were also wrinkled."
She was explaining why Gu Xinian had to change clothes. She had no idea that these few words were like a bombshell, which made Mrs. Zheng unable to recover for a long time. Her eyes wandered back and forth on the faces of Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan secretly thought something was wrong. Looking at Mrs. Zheng's look, she had clearly misunderstood.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Cousin Gu." Ye Qinglan said with a dignified and gentle smile: "If Cousin Gu hadn't been standing close and happened to catch me, I'm afraid I would have suffered a terrible disaster today.
Already."
Please pay attention, the key is to go smoothly!
Mrs. Zheng indeed noticed it, and just as she was about to say something, she heard Gu Xiyu blame herself: "It's all my fault that you had to sit on the swing. When the elder brother pushed the swing, I reminded you loudly." Otherwise, she wouldn't be scared.
It’s time for Ye Qinglan.
Gu Xinian said leisurely: "In the final analysis, I am still the one to blame. If I hadn't pushed the swing so hard, Cousin Lan wouldn't have become unstable and fallen down."
…
Under Mrs. Zheng's subtle gaze, Ye Qinglan almost had the urge to run away.
What does it mean to draw darker and darker, that's it!
What else is there to explain? The noble and aloof Mr. Gu actually pushed the swing for her himself. If there wasn't something fishy in this, it would be a disgrace to the audience.
Mrs. Zheng obviously thought so too. Instead of being angry, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
In the four years since Shen Qiuyu got married, this is the first time Gu Xinian has shown interest in a girl... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is
