Chapter 418: Foregone conclusion
Xue Shi secretly gritted his teeth, retracted his hand ruthlessly, and his face was as cold as ice: "Forget it this time, if you hide anything from me in the future, you will definitely not be spared." β
Ye Qinglan tugged at the corners of her lips and said yes.
Xue pretended not to understand the sarcastic arc of Ye Qinglan's lips, and said coldly: "It's not too early, you go back to the house to rest first." I'll talk about it tomorrow! So saying, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Ye Qinglan looked at Xue's stiff back, not to mention how happy she was.
She and the Xue family have clashed no less than several times, and they have used a sharp tongue to make the Xue family speechless before. However, it's not as happy as this one! Seeing that the Xue family was obviously angry but had to endure himself, it was really gratifying!
The Xue family was in a bad mood, and Ye Qinglan was in a happy mood.
After returning to the house, Ye Qinglan took a bath under the service of the maids. After washing, I feel refreshed and relaxed. Obviously the body is very tired, but the spirit is surprisingly excited.
The maids were also a little more excited and excited today than usual, and gathered around.
"Miss, Sister Ruixue told us that you and Gu Gongzi are about to get married, right?" The first to ask was Guiyuan, whose round little face was full of excited smiles.
Ying'er and Hongluan's eyes also widened with curiosity.
Things have come to this point, and there is no need to hide it from the maids around you anymore. Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded.
The maids were in an uproar together, even more excited than Ye Qinglan herself: "Great, Miss is really going to marry Gu Gongzi." β
"Yes, the slave maid had been worried that such a dealings with Gu Gongzi would cause gossip. I didn't expect Gu Gongzi to ask the queen mother for marriage without a word......"
A few maids, you say a word to me. Babbling and talking. Even Ruixue and Ruomei couldn't help but join the conversation. What was originally a taboo topic is now no longer a concern.
Ruixue even sighed with a smile: "To be honest. The slave maid has also been pinching the cold sweat for the young lady. I am always worried that if there is no result in the future, the young lady will suffer a big loss. Now it's finally done. The young lady finally saw the moon when the clouds opened. β
Ruomei smiled: "The slave has never been worried. The prince is so attentive to the young lady, he will definitely marry the lady in the media. β
Ruomei's true identity can't be hidden from a discerning person. After getting along for so long, Rui Xue and the others also secretly noticed her difference. Her skills are far more flexible than ordinary maids, and she often disappears mysteriously, how can there be such a maid by Gu Xiyu's side? It's clearly Gu Xinian's guard who was sent to protect Miss under the guise of Gu Xiyu!
Rui Xue smiled and joked: "Sister Ruomei, in the future, when Miss marries into the Dingguo Mansion, will you continue to stay with Miss?" β
Ruomei did not hesitate, and responded with a smile: "As long as the young lady doesn't take the slave away." The slave was willing to stay by the young lady's side all the time. This is very sincere.
Ye Qinglan was moved in her heart, and promised with a smile: "As long as you are willing to follow me, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future." β
The master and servant smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After chatting for a while, Ye Qinglan finally fell asleep. This night, she slept very soundly.
Xue was resentful, tossing and turning almost all night. The next morning, I got up staring at two big dark circles. Hongyun, who was waiting for her to make up, was also startled, and didn't dare to ask more. Hurriedly applied a thick layer of fat powder to Xue's family, and finally slightly covered the haggard that couldn't sleep all night.
Xue had no appetite, so he hastily ate a few bites of breakfast and put his chopsticks aside. Ye Qingfu and Ye Qinglan soon came over to say goodbye. Xue Shi looked at Ye Qinglan. I don't have any breath in my body.
If it was in normal times, she would have found a random hair to drop her. Can ...... now The words of finding fault swirled around his mouth, and he swallowed it back hard. Instead, he said bluntly: "You go with me to Changhe Hall to ask for peace." β
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingfu responded in unison.
Nothing to say all the way. Arrived at the door of Changhetang. happened to meet Zheng and Cui Wan. After a few words of greeting, the two entered Changhe Hall together.
Li was whispering something to Jiang. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately stopped talking. smiled casually and said hello to everyone. Zheng Shi saw it, but he remained silent, and smiled and asked Jiang Shi for peace.
Jiang Shi smiled: "Okay, don't be so polite, sit down and talk." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Ye Qinglan intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Qinglan honestly stood behind Xue's family, looking at her nose and nose, and didn't even raise her eyelids.
Jiang Shi coughed, as if unintentionally asked about the wedding banquet in Dingguo Mansion yesterday: "...... Xue, I went to the Dingguo Mansion yesterday to congratulate you, nothing happened! "It's clear that I've heard something, so I will ask.
Xue secretly gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to hide it, and replied in a reluctant voice: "There is indeed an important matter to report to my mother-in-law." After a pause, he said reluctantly: "Yesterday, Mrs. Zheng seemed to reveal the intention of getting married, and the daughter-in-law is trying to discuss this matter with her mother-in-law!" β
Jiang's kung fu of pretending to be stupid is also first-class, and he smiled kindly: "I'm a little confused when you say that." The only one who has not yet married in the Dingguo Mansion is Gu Xinian, could it be that Mrs. Zheng is in love with the girl in our mansion? β
Xue's smile was a little stiff: "Yes, Mrs. Zheng's picture is Sister Lan." "Actually, it was obviously Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian who taught each other privately. What Mrs. Zheng is in love with is simply a joke of self-deception.
However, there are some truths that must never be told truthfully. Changyuan Bofu and Dingguo Mansion are both noble families with heads and faces, and if such things spread, it will be damaging to face. I can only hint at it so implicitly!
Jiang Shi also knew it, and did not expose such an obvious lie, but smiled kindly: "This is a good thing." Sister Lan is not young anymore, and she has just reached the age of saying goodbye. If you decide on such a good family business, you as a mother will be indispensable. β
β¦β¦ She didn't want this "credit" at all! Xue smiled dryly and didn't say anything.
Jiang's attitude is obvious, and he has an absolutely favorable attitude towards this family business. Although the Changyuan Bofu is inclined to the faction of the three princes, it would be even more wonderful if it could have a relationship with the prince's party. In the future, whether it is the third prince or the crown prince to succeed to the throne, Changyuan Bofu can rely on a strong in-law relationship to continue to gain a foothold in the capital and the court for a long time.
Taking a step back, even if the prince falls in the future and the Dingguo Mansion is implicated, the Changyuan Bofu will have nothing to lose. At most, it's just an insignificant concubine. So, no matter how you think about it, it's an incomparably cost-effective marriage......
Thinking like this, Jiang's attitude towards Ye Qinglan suddenly became gentle and kind: "Sister Lan, come to grandmother quickly." Grandmother has something to ask you. β
β¦β¦ Ye Qinglan quietly pressed back the goosebumps that appeared on her body, walked out of Xue's side with a smile, and blessed the Jiang family.
Jiang Shi glanced at Ye Qinglan with a smile and praised: "Look at Sister Lan, she was born so standard, and she is smart and knows how to advance and retreat." No wonder it can please the queen's mother. β
Ye Qinglan pretended to be shy and blushed very cooperatively, but she was secretly funny in her heart. Gu Xi Nian's expectations are really good, as long as the Dingguo Mansion has a clear attitude, her status in the Changyuan Bofu Mansion will immediately rise. Take Jiang Shi as an example, I used to be too lazy to look at her, but now I smile and laugh kindly!
Li also smiled and agreed: "Sister Lan is so likable, not only is it favored by the queen's mother, but even the crown princess also appreciates it very much!" As he spoke, he smiled and said to Xue: "You are really blessed to have such a good daughter." β
It took a lot of effort for Xue to squeeze out a smile: "The second sister-in-law has won the award." Now I haven't written a word yet, and I have to wait for the will to give the marriage to arrive......"
"You're not right." Li Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "The queen mother has personally summoned Sister Lan, and Mrs. Zheng has come out through the news again, this is already a sure happy event, and there will never be any more accidents." I have to congratulate first, when I prepare a dowry for Sister Lan in the future, don't forget to say that I, the second aunt, have to add some dowry to Sister Lan. β
Zheng also smiled and spoke: "If Sister Lan marries Xi Nian, it is indeed a good thing to be happy. With such good news, you have to send someone to send a letter to Uncle SΓΉ as soon as possible. β
Zheng's idea is actually similar to Jiang's. Although she is closer to the Zhengguo Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion is also an in-law. If Ye Qinglan marries, the connection between the two governments will be closer. For Changyuan Bofu, this is definitely a good thing.
The elders said that Ye Qinglan basically didn't have a chance to interject, as long as she continued to bow her head and pretend to be shy.
Although the Xue family had been mentally prepared, when they saw everyone standing on Ye Qinglan's side, the feeling of grievance and discomfort could not be described in words......
Jiang Shi talked for a long time, and saw that Xue Shi was still like he was going to die, and his heart was not happy, he glanced at her a little impatiently, and said lightly: "In a few days, let the guys from Xiuzhuang and Yinlou come over and buy some new clothes and jewelry for Sister Lan." So as not to look shabby when you have to be a guest. β
Xue Shi swallowed his anger and responded.
Jiang Shi looked at Ye Qinglan again, and said with a pleasant face: "Sister Lan, is there enough manpower around you?" If it's not enough, just say it and ask your aunt to pick two smart ones for you. β
Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled: "Thank you grandmother for your concern, the maids around me are enough, so I don't have to trouble my aunt." β
"You kid, you're really obedient and sensible." It turned out that Jiang Shi was so kind that he didn't like to say: "Okay, just follow your will first." In short, no matter what is missing, just say it. (To be continued......)
