Chapter 222: Conspiracy
Ye Chengren had a social meeting and did not come back that night. There are only two people, Ye Yuanwei and Gu Xinian, so naturally there is no need to divide the seats. The crowd sat around the round table.
Ye Qinglan silently glanced at the handsome man sitting directly opposite, and secretly rolled her eyes in her heart. Then, he kept his head down, resolutely not looking at Gu Xinian.
Gu Xiyu lowered her head with her and ate silently. Ye Qingning didn't have much of the heart to speak.
Zheng glanced at the three girls who were silent, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he smiled kindly: "What's the matter, isn't tonight's dish to your liking?" Why didn't they make a sound one by one? ”
Ye Qingning calmed down and responded with a smile: "The dishes are fine, but I am really tired after sitting in a sedan chair so far away, so I don't have the strength to speak." ”
Ye Qinglan immediately said: "Yes, I am indeed very tired!" After dinner, we should retire first and go back to rest for a while. ”
Zheng nodded casually.
Ye Qinglan saw Zheng nodding, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. If you can't afford to provoke, you can always afford to hide! After eating, pat his buttocks and leave, and never give Gu Xinian a chance to open his mouth to speak. Hum! See what he can do!
Gu Xinian, who was sitting opposite, saw the cunning in Ye Qinglan's eyes clearly, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips. Want to hide? There are no doors!
Cui Wan was also a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Xinian at all. After eating, I excused Sister Qiao'er to go to bed early and leave first because she was sleepy. Ye Qinglan immediately glanced at Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning comprehended, and said with a smile: "Mother, we also want to go back to Huancui Pavilion to rest." ”
Zheng took in the subtle movements of the two, and smiled quietly: "It's okay, you can go back and rest first." If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow. ”
Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Gu Xinian. Gu Xinian held a wine glass in his hand. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was relaxed and calm: "If Cousin Ning is tired, let's go back and rest with Yu'er first!" ”
…… Why didn't Ye Qinglan's name be omitted?
Ye Qingning subconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan immediately knew that her old problem of eating food had been committed again, and immediately said: "I'm tired for a day." I also want to go back and rest earlier. Cousin Gu and cousin haven't finished drinking yet, so they might as well drink slowly. ”
Gu Xinian tugged at the corners of his lips, noncommittal. Seeing the figures of the three girls disappear in front of him, he retracted his gaze unhurriedly. and Ye Yuanwei continued to drink and laugh.
After leaving the Plum Temple. The three girls breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qingning wiped his forehead with his sleeve, looking palpitating: "I finally passed the test safely." "After this day, I can't feel at ease for a moment. At first, I was worried that Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan would be discovered when they met, and then I was scared enough by Gu Xinian, who was asked by Xingshi. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiyu didn't speak, but she also wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.
Ye Qinglan is the most relaxed one. He said with a smile: "Okay, it's all over, don't be so nervous." We'll go back now. Take a good shower and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, as soon as you get up, you'll be fine. ”
Her attitude naturally infected Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu. The two of them were finally less nervous.
After walking a few steps, Ye Qingning couldn't help but ask, "Tenth sister, what did my cousin tell you in the afternoon?" He...... Do you know everything? ”
Ye Qinglan snorted: "He knows everything." ”
Ye Qingning's heart sank, and he glanced at Gu Xiyu reflexively. Gu Xiyu lowered her eyelids, and the moonlight covered her expression. It's hard to see what's going on in her heart.
Ye Qinglan's voice sounded: "Cousin Gu is indeed a little angry, but after Cousin Xiyu explained a few words, he was not so angry." ”
She said it lightly, and Ye Qingning listened with suspicion: "Really? Is my cousin really not angry anymore? ”
This is of course impossible. Ye Qinglan's face did not change his color: "Well, he said in person that he was not angry." You can rest assured. Anyway, Ye Qingning didn't have the courage to go to Gu Xinian for verification.
Gu Xiyu glanced at Ye Qinglan silently, but did not expose Ye Qinglan's lies.
Ye Qingning finally stopped asking.
After returning to Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qingning went back to the house to wash and rest. Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan took their own showers, sitting on the edge of the bed and chatting casually.
"Big brother must be angry with me." Gu Xiyu whispered, there was no handkerchief in his hand, so he grabbed the placket of his clothes and twisted unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan smiled and soothed: "There must be a little bit of anger, but he has always loved you." I won't be willing to be angry for too long. It is estimated that after half a month, his anger will almost disappear. When you go back, you can be coquettish with him again, and he will be angry. ”
Gu Xiyu nodded seriously, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "However, will he secretly use some means to prevent Shen Changan from returning to the capital?" ”
Judging from Gu Xinian's temperament, the probability of this happening is as high as 99%. Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly, but she smiled in her mouth: "No." Cousin Gu is above board, how could he do such a villainous act. ”
Gu Xiyu trusted Ye Qinglan's words almost 100%. Hearing her say this, I put this matter behind me.
Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xiyu and suddenly asked, "Cousin Xiyu, if a year later, Shen Changan really comes back and wants to marry you." Cousin Gu just doesn't agree, what will you do? ”
Gu Xiyu was stunned. This question is really complicated for her, and she can not think about it for a while: "I don't know." ”
A typical Gu Xiyu-style answer.
Ye Qinglan smiled dumbly, seeing Gu Xiyu's tired face, she couldn't bear to ask anything more, and said softly: "I'll talk about the future later." You're tired today, too, so let's go to bed first! ”
Gu Xiyu obediently responded, yawned delicately, and fell asleep on her side.
Ye Qinglan was actually very tired, but she took a shower a while later than Gu Xiyu, and her hair had not yet dried. Obviously, I couldn't sleep like this, so I had to open the window and sit by the window. The cool breeze is blowing in your face, and your hair should dry out quickly.
Ye Qinglan thought vaguely, and unconsciously closed her eyes.
It seemed like only a moment, and it seemed like a long time, when she was suddenly awakened by a voice. It was the sound of a person's footsteps, obviously it was night, but it was not deliberately lightened, and the steps were not slow.
It's Gu Xinian's footsteps!
Ye Qinglan suddenly woke up, and before she had time to think about why she was so familiar and sensitive to Gu Xinian's footsteps, she reflexively stood up from her chair and walked to the door.
The footsteps outside the door happened to stop, and the slightly drunk eyes were brighter and more compelling than before, as if they had seen through the thick door panel, and saw the girl standing barefoot behind the door: "Ye Qinglan, open the door, I have something to ask you." ”
The low and melodious man's voice passed through the wooden board in the thick night, and then reached the ears, adding a charm that was not usually available. Ye Qinglan's heart couldn't help beating wildly, her cheeks were inexplicably a little hot, and her voice was quite calm: "It's so late, if you have anything to say, let's wait until tomorrow!" ”
You don't have to think about it to know that Gu Xinian must have deliberately pretended to be drunk and stayed, and then avoided the eyes and ears of his subordinates, and quietly came to Huancui Pavilion. The little maid guarding the door only thought that he was coming to find Gu Xiyu, so naturally she didn't dare to stop her. After she and Gu Xiyu slept in the same room, she never let the maid stay on duty for the convenience of speaking. Therefore, Gu Xinian came all the way unimpeded.
"I'm going to see you now." Gu Xinian repeated a little impatiently.
Although he knew that his intention was to take care of Xiyu, his words in such an environment at this moment were really a little ambiguous. Ye Qinglan was secretly glad that there was a door panel between the two, otherwise, if Gu Xinian saw that she blushed, it would be strange not to make fun of her.
Although he was pretending to be drunk, Gu Xinian did drink a lot of wine. At this time, the wine is rising, and it is far less calm and self-contained than usual. Seeing that Ye Qinglan hadn't opened the door for a long time, Gu Xinian frowned, and said unhappily: "If you don't open the door again, I'll just push the door and come in." ”
Ye Qinglan was also a little annoyed, and her voice came out flatly: "In the middle of the night, there is a difference between men and women, melon fields and plums, doesn't Cousin Gu think that such a move is too abrupt?" "Even if this is the room where Gu Xiyu lives temporarily, Gu Xinian shouldn't have pushed the door in so casually! What's more, she's also there!
"I don't see if you still know what it means to be polite." Gu Xi snorted young, and the sneer in his words was faintly revealed: "When you confronted me in the Dingguo Mansion before, why didn't you think of the middle of the night?" When you helped Ye Qingning come to see me, why didn't you think that there is a difference between men and women? When you helped Yu'er and Shen Changan meet, why didn't you think of the melon field and Li Xia? ”
……
After drinking so much wine, my tongue is still so sharp, it's too much!
Ye Qinglan was rarely choked, but she still didn't open the door.
Gu Xinian stared at the closed door, and didn't know where the anger in his heart came from: "Ye Qinglan, if you don't open the door again, I'm really going to kick the door......"
"Cousin Xiyu is already asleep, are you going to wake her up and let her see how her most beloved brother is drunk and messing around?" Ye Qinglan fixed her mind and mocked without thinking.
Since they met, Gu Xinian has always pretended to call Cousin Lan, although he feels hypocritical, but he is used to hearing it. Now when I hear him call his name at first, the feeling is really indescribably weird.
It's like ...... The thick mask and camouflage quietly tore off a corner. There is a kind of unsettling ambiguity and unsettling intimacy.
Gu Xinian didn't speak again, and directly stretched out his hand and pushed the door.
When Gu Xiyu sleeps, there is always a maid on duty at night, and the door is never bolted, only closed. After coming to Changyuan Bofu, it is still this habit. Therefore, Gu Xinian opened the door without the slightest effort-
