Chapter 269: Embarrassment
Zheng quickly sensed that something was wrong with Ye Qingning. For a few days, I was sullen and unsmiling, and I didn't pay attention to my words. Ye Qinglan, who had been following her, was also gone.
Zheng secretly felt strange in his heart. Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan have always been good, and they go in and out together every day. What's going on these days? Isn't it awkward!
"Ning'er, why didn't you see Sister Lan coming with you?" Zheng pretended to be inadvertently tentative.
Ye Qingning's face sank immediately, and she responded coldly: "She is busy packing her luggage and going to the Dingguo Mansion, how can she have time to accompany me." โ
There is a lot of resentment in these words! Zheng glanced at Ye Qingning with a smile: "What's the matter, is it awkward with Sister Lan?" Sister Lan has also been to the Dingguo Mansion as a guest before, and I have never seen you unhappy. โ
The corners of Ye Qingning's lips pursed tightly, and he twisted his head to the side.
At this moment, the porter came to report: "Madam, the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion has arrived at the door, and Young Master Gu has also come over, saying that he is here to pick up Miss Ten to go to the Dingguo Mansion." โ
Zheng snorted casually and instructed Dong Yan: "Go to Hefeng Courtyard to report to Miss Ten, and say that the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion is here, let her pack her luggage." โ
The winter goose took the order. Ye Qingning was originally sitting, but suddenly stood up: "I'm a little tired, let's go back to Huancui Pavilion first." โ
Zheng frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Why is it still this child's temper." โ
"Isn't my mother the last thing she wants me to see my cousin?" Ye Qingning replied expressionlessly: "I'm taking the initiative to avoid it now, what else is my mother dissatisfied with?" โ
Zheng was choked for a moment, and instead of being angry, he smiled: "I told you to avoid it before, but you ignored it, you had to come out to see him." It's better now, let you see you and refuse to see you. Is it because Xi Nian picked up Sister Lan that you are awkward and unhappy? โ
These words directly struck the sore spot in Ye Qingning's heart. Biting his lip and not speaking, his pretty face was faintly white.
Zheng was distressed and angry, and glanced at the maids around him, waiting for all the maids to retreat. Only then did he whisper: "What kind of identity is Xi Nian, even if you have a good impression of Sister Lan, it is impossible to marry her." Besides, even if it's married. It has nothing to do with you. You're going to get married in May. What kind of dry vinegar are you eating now? โ
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up, and he twisted his head to the side again.
Zheng's tone softened a little more: "Okay, Xi Nian will come later, you are more calm and generous." and Sister Lan. You've always been good with her, so you won't fall out over such a trivial matter......"
"What a trifle!" Ye Qingning turned his head and said angrily: "Obviously, she was carrying me behind my back to communicate with my cousin. She is still a good sister to me. Knowing that I ...... And still doing this, you don't treat me as a sister at all! โ
In the final analysis, this is what Ye Qingning minds the most. If Gu Xinian showed a good impression of other women, she would not be so angry at most. But that person was Ye Qinglan......
Zheng saw that her eyes were red, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she had to coax patiently: "This is already the case." Even if you get angry again, it won't help. It's better to look away and don't take it personally. I'll see Sister Lan later, don't be so awkward. Be generous, don't let people see jokes! โ
Ye Qingning stubbornly responded: "I don't want to see her, whoever likes to see my jokes will be optimistic." So saying, he walked out.
Zheng couldn't catch up and sighed helplessly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Qingning walked to the door, a long and elegant figure walked over. Ye Qingning didn't have time to hide, so he was unfortunate enough to face the visitor, and his red eyes clearly fell on the visitor's eyes.
Caught off guard, Ye Qingning was ashamed, annoyed and regretful, this wolf bรจi unbearable appearance was actually seen by him......
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't see Ye Qingning's reddened eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "Cousin Ning is in such a hurry, she wants to go back to Huancui Pavilion!" โ
Ye Qingning barely squeezed out a smile: "Yes, my cousin came early today." I won't talk to you, I'll go back first. โ
As soon as the words fell, a slender figure appeared in front of him. The familiar smile is still as gentle and lovely as ever, but in her eyes, it is indescribably dazzling. It's like the smile of the victor showing off the demonstration.
Ye Qingning's smile froze, but he refused to show anything strange in front of Gu Xinian, and forced himself to continue to squeeze out a smile: "What a coincidence, the tenth sister is also here." โ
Ye Qinglan silently glanced at Ye Qingning, who was smiling extremely stiffly, and her heart was really not a good feeling.
The two sisters, who were once close, are now in such an embarrassing situation as being relatively speechless, and it is false to say that they are not uncomfortable. But in front of Gu Xinian, he didn't say much, so he could only smile casually and respond: "Sixth sister, this is going back to Huancui Pavilion!" โ
Ye Qingning continued to smile stiffly: "Yes, I'm a little tired, so I won't send you." "Her ability to hide her love is far worse than Ye Qinglan's.
Gu Xinian stood opposite, seeing the subtle expression on her face clearly, but she just didn't see anything, and said with a smile: "That is the case, Cousin Ning should go back and rest quickly." "Lest everyone feel embarrassed to stay here.
Ye Qingning pulled the corners of his lips and said goodbye before leaving. When he passed by Ye Qinglan's side, he quickly glanced at Ye Qinglan. In that glance, there was envy, jealousy, resentment, and hostility.
Ye Qinglan secretly smiled bitterly in her heart and smiled back.
Ye Qingning quickly retracted his gaze and walked straight away.
With such a show, Ye Qinglan's original good mood suddenly disappeared. There was no joy when he saw Gu Xinian, he smiled faintly and shouted "Cousin Gu", and then stopped talking.
Gu Xinian frowned slightly, then stretched his brows, and said to Zheng with a smile: "Auntie, I'll pick up Cousin Lan." โ
Zheng took in the scene just now, but there was a casual smile on his face: "It's not early, I won't leave you for dinner." Just before it gets dark, I rushed back to the Dingguo Mansion. โ
After a few polite words, Gu Xinian officially said goodbye. Before leaving, Zheng told Ye Qinglan intentionally and unintentionally: "Sister Lan, you are a guest at the Dingguo Mansion this time, don't be willful." โ
If there was something in the words, Ye Qinglan could naturally understand, and immediately responded obediently: "Auntie, please rest assured, I will be obedient and will not have any more disputes with Cousin Gu." โ
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Zheng gave the two of them a ride and went back to Luomei Courtyard. Ye Qinglan silently followed behind Gu Xinian, and the two were not too far apart before, only about three meters.
When she arrived at the door, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Gu Xinian reflexively. Strange, why is there only one carriage, where is Gu Xinian's horse? He wasn't going to share a carriage with her!
Gu Xinian said indifferently: "Cousin Lan, please get in the carriage." โ
Ye Qinglan had to walk to the side of the carriage, and Rui Xue was about to come over, but a figure moved faster than her, and steadily reached out to support Ye Qinglan's arm: "Cousin Lan, be careful." โ
The hand that held her arm was slender and powerful, and it was clear that it was separated by several layers of clothing, but he could still feel the warmth of his palm.
Ye Qinglan's heart jumped, her cheeks were a little hot, and she glared at him quickly. In front of the maids, how can you do such an intimate action?
Gu Xinian slightly hooked the corners of his lips, but his expression was very serious: "Don't look around, be careful of falling." โ
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to put on a casual expression, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, Cousin Gu." The two of them were so calm, the maids on the side really didn't dare to pay much attention, but they just couldn't help but take a second look.
Ye Qinglan got into the carriage and finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he sat down, he saw Gu Xinian also get into the carriage. sat down on the opposite side without hurrying.
โฆโฆ
Ye Qinglan asked with a smile, "Why didn't Cousin Gu ride a horse today?" "I've known him for so long, and it's the first time I've seen him ride in a carriage.
Gu Xinian replied casually: "Since I came to pick up Cousin Lan, of course I have to be a little sincere." โ
Ye Qinglan was about to fight back, but when she saw the maids coming up one by one, she had to stop.
With Gu Xinian here, several maids didn't dare to speak casually, and stood aside tremblingly. Although the carriage is very spacious, enough to seat five or six people, with Gu Xinian here, how can they dare to sit?
The carriage was smooth at first, but when it got out of the alley, it was a little bumpy. Gui Yuan accidentally stumbled a little, and he didn't know where his head had touched, and he screamed.
Ye Qinglan was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Guiyuan, how are you?" Where did you run into it? โ
Gui Yuan pressed his forehead with his hand, with a look of shame: "Miss, don't worry, the slave is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, it doesn't matter if you hit it." "I'm really clumsy, and I'm embarrassed to Miss again!
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gui Yuan with disgust: "What are you still standing for, come and sit next to me." And a few of you, sit down too. โ
The maids hesitated for a moment and quietly glanced at each other. The master gave him a good offer, but a few of them didn't dare to accept it. Ye Qinglan can sit next to two or three, but who dares to sit next to Gu Xinian?
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Although this carriage is spacious, it is too crowded for five people to sit together. In this way, Cousin Lan and I will sit on one side, and the four of you will sit together. โ
โฆโฆ
Rui Xue was a little bolder in the end, and said with a smile: "Thank you Young Master Gu for your compassion, the slave maid and the others are better than obeying their fate." โ
Speaking of this, Ye Qinglan refused again, but it was too traced, so she had to get up with a casual smile: "A few of you come and sit down." โ
After Rui Xue and the others sat down, Ye Qinglan reluctantly sat down beside Gu Xinian.
Before he could sit down, the carriage jolted, Ye Qinglan couldn't react at all, and her body fell to Gu Xinian's side.
