Liu Yun did not respond to his confession that day, but she knew that she no longer treated him the same way.
She would sometimes look at him secretly when he wasn't paying attention. She would secretly miss him when he was busy in the study. She would sleep soundly in his arms every night. He was like a poppy flower to her. She was so addicted that it even made her feel that her infatuation with Shen Yi in her previous life was nothing.
Now she suddenly realized that it turned out that she had been wrong all along. She was just a girl with longing and infatuation for Shen Yi, so when he cheated and betrayed her, her unwillingness was greater than her despair and heartache. The high-ranking young lady was betrayed by others. Being so despised and humiliated by others is why there is so much hatred.
Only those who truly meet the right person will understand what love is. Fortunately, she met Dongfang Ye, met him after her rebirth, and learned to love.
Dongfang Ye has always been a silent and reserved person, but he is also very smart. As he said, he starts his plan from the first step and will not let the other party's actions affect his judgment.
From the moment he met Liu Yun again, he had been trying to lure this annoying little girl to his side. No one could escape Dongfang Ye's plan, especially the trap he laid out with his sincerity. .
He stayed by her side silently, protecting her and pampering her. He didn't know if she felt it, but he knew that she would definitely fall in love with him, because no one in the world would love her more than him, Dongfang Ye. Understand her better.
He is not Shen Yi, his love is not robbery, his love is protection, and he also believes that his protection will eventually earn her a look back. Facts have proved that he is right, right?
In the afternoon of this day, the warm sunshine shone in the room. Dongfang Ye hugged Liu Yun and leaned against the couch. Liu Yun fell asleep in his arms. He patted her back again and again. , this girl is getting more and more lethargic now, and she always wants to take a nap in the afternoon. He stays with her when she has nothing to do, and she falls asleep easily.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't you two get tired of sitting in this Qingfeng Garden every day?" Dongfang Jing walked in with a loud voice, and paused slightly when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Be gentle, your sister-in-law is asleep." Dongfang Ye glanced over, and Dongfang Jing immediately shrank his neck unconsciously and shut up immediately.
Dongfang Jing also heard Mo Li mention that Liu Yun had been seriously ill recently, so he ran to Qingfeng Garden as soon as he returned home. He, the third young master, was the only one who would not be stopped outside Qingfeng Garden because he never left. The main entrance is all entered by climbing over the wall.
"Go and wait outside." Dongfang Ye carefully picked up Liuyun by the waist, walked to the bed beside him and put her under the quilt. He took the heater nearby and let her hold it in his arms, so that she could sleep better. After helping her tuck the quilt in, she quietly closed the door and walked out.
When Dongfang Jing saw his eldest brother walking out without a cloak, he quickly took off his cloak and put it on him. He babbled: "Brother, you are not in good health. Don't just take care of your sister-in-law. You should also take care of yourself." body."
"Let's go to the study to talk." Dongfang Ye pointed to the study on the other side, then asked Mo Li to make a pot of tea and bring some snacks, and then entered the study with his third brother.
The study in Qingfeng Yuan was not as warm as the house. After all, there were many books and account books placed here, so Dongfang Ye did not let anyone put a charcoal stove in the study, thinking that it would be troublesome if the books were burned.
"Is there something wrong with the business? I have to go out for half a month. Why are you back so soon?" At this time, Dongfang Ye was not as arrogant in front of others, but more lazy.
"I met Qin Yi from Murong Villa. He is really a man who eats people without spitting out their bones. Fortunately, our Marquis Mansion is cooperating with him. If we were hostile, I would really worry about whether we could come back safely." Dongfang Jing clicked his tongue.
He smacked his lips, arched his eyebrows, and was in a good mood.
Dongfang Ye has always believed in Qin Yi's ability, otherwise he would not trust him to take care of his daily business. Even if he looks like an elegant scholar, anyone who underestimates him will definitely pay a heavy price.
of cost.
Dongfang Ye did not tell his third brother about Murong Villa. On the one hand, he felt that there was no need to make extraneous matters. On the other hand, he felt that sometimes knowing too much was not a good thing. Of course, he also had a small evil thought.
I look forward to seeing Dongfang Jing and Qin Yi compete in the shopping mall, so that Qin Yi won't always yell for defeat.
"Brother, is it okay for you to put down your affairs in the capital and stay in Linyang City? I heard that there is an undercurrent in the capital, and that various aristocratic families are secretly gathering strength. I heard that the entire court has been divided into two factions, half of which are the emperor's cronies.
, the other half is from King An, and they are making trouble every day." Dongfang Jing is not interested in being an official, but it does not mean that he is not aware of the court's trends. After all, their family is a Hou Mansion, and his second brother is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
And his eldest brother was secretly working for the emperor, so how could he really turn a blind eye.
"If you're not afraid of them making trouble, I'm just afraid that they won't make trouble." Dongfang Ye supported his head with one hand and knocked the table intentionally or unintentionally with the other hand. His indifferent eyes fell on the ground not far away, as if he was thinking about something.
"Is this all what you expected?" Dongfang Jing raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand officialdom, but he thought that he could communicate with each other wherever he came. Looking at Dongfang Ye's confident appearance, he felt that he might have underestimated himself.
The strength of the two brothers is great.
"Maybe God is helping me." Dongfang Ye responded lightly, very perfunctorily.
In fact, he didn't want Dongfang Jing to get too involved in the affairs of the court. The affairs of the court were changing rapidly, and no one could predict what would happen in the next second, just like it was impossible to predict what the emperor was thinking in his heart.
He can try his best to do what he thinks should be done, but whether it can succeed or not still depends on the wishes of the superior.
Understanding that his eldest brother didn't want to talk too much about the court affairs to him, Dongfang Jing shrugged. He was just concerned. Since his eldest brother made it clear that he didn't need to worry, why should he worry about it.
But speaking of worrying, there was indeed one thing that was causing a lot of headaches recently. He just hoped that after he said it, his eldest brother would be as calm as he is now.
"I heard that Prince Duan is coming to Yangcheng in the next few days, and the Queen Mother's niece Yang Xin is also coming with him. It seems that Princess Jintao is also coming to relax." Dongfang Jing said with a big smile on his face.
, "I remember that when we entered the palace, Yang Xin was crying and saying that she wanted to marry you when she grew up. I don't know what this girl has grown into now. I heard that the Queen Mother loved her very much and kept her by her side.
For many years, I said I wanted to choose a good son-in-law for her, but in the end I couldn’t find anyone after choosing her from left to right.”
As expected, Dongfang Ye frowned. What he was thinking of was not the same thing as Dongfang Jing, but it was all about Yang Xin. This squeamish girl is the niece of the Queen Mother, but her temperament is more perverse and indulgent than the princess.
He was not afraid that she would still have thoughts about him now. After all, he already had a wife. The girl whom the Queen Mother doted on would not be sent to him as a concubine. But when he thought of that pampered girl who made the palace a mess,
He couldn't help but ponder, should he take Liu Yun away from the Hou Mansion to avoid trouble, and come back after they left?
