The carriage gradually moved away, and soon disappeared in sight.

Ye Qinglan felt a trace of amazement in her heart. In ancient times, it was really difficult to fall in love. Sneaky, like doing underground work, can't be seen. It's not easy to get in touch, there is no phone, and it's not convenient to write letters. It's a month or two, maybe even longer......

Rui Xue saw Ye Qinglan in a daze, and hurriedly whispered: "Miss, let's go and say hello to Mrs. first!" ”

Ye Qinglan calmed down and nodded with a smile. Coincidentally, as soon as the master and servant walked to the gate of the Hefeng Courtyard, they met Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan who had just come out of the Hefeng Courtyard.

Cui Wan frowned worriedly, and Ye Yuanwei whispered a few words of reassurance.

Ye Qinglan heard Cui Yu's name at the tip of her ear, and her heart suddenly chuckled, and she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted with a smile: "Cousin, cousin-in-law." ”

Cui Wan was in a bad mood, and reluctantly squeezed a smile: "Tenth sister, why did you come back today." ”

Seeing Cui Wan's reaction, Ye Qinglan's heart sank slightly: "My cousin and sister-in-law came to Hefeng Courtyard specially, is there something wrong?" ”

Sure enough, I saw Cui Wan smile bitterly and said, "Yesterday, my mother sent someone to send me a message, saying that the second brother has been unwell and bedridden since he came back from swimming in the lake. I was anxious and thought about going back to see my second brother today. The third aunt insisted on leading her fifth cousin to Cui's mansion to apologize, so she specially called me to discuss. ”

Ye Qinglan couldn't laugh anymore. I'm really afraid of something, Cui Yu is really sick! At this time, I am bedridden, and there are four days left before spring, what should I do then?

"The second brother has been a little weak since he was a child, and he can't withstand the cold. I don't know when this disease will be cured. Cui Wan sighed with a worried face: "Don't delay the spring festival." ”

The Cui Mansion has high expectations for Cui Yu, especially the He family, who is looking forward to Cui Yu coming back to shine in the court. It's good now. Cui Yu happened to be sick at this juncture, and it is unknown whether he can participate in the Spring Festival as scheduled...

This illness is not at the right time!

Ye Qinglan knew the inside story, and she didn't feel good in her heart. If it weren't for Ye Yuanzhou deliberately pulling Cui Yu into the water, he wouldn't have made the trouble like he is now. Although it doesn't have much to do with her. But she had a faint feeling that she was the culprit......

Cui Wan naturally didn't know the truth, and when she saw Ye Qinglan frowning, she turned around and comforted her: "The fifth cousin is not a heart, and I will accompany you to Cui's Mansion in the afternoon." Mother wouldn't be too him. Of course, with He's temperament, a few unpleasant words are inevitable.

Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and squeezed out a smile: "Hmm." Then it will be annoying to the cousin-in-law. ”

Cui Wan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, you can also accompany me to Cui Mansion in the afternoon!" Cui Yu saw Ye Qinglan. Must be happy. Maybe the disease will get better sooner.

Ye Qinglan didn't expect Cui Wan to suddenly make this request, and she couldn't help but be stunned. If it had been before, she wouldn't have mattered. Cui Yu is a cute teenager, and it is nothing to say a few words when he sees him. Can ...... now The relationship between her and Gu Xinian is not what it used to be, and it doesn't seem good to meet a boy who loves her again!

Cui Wan saw that she was silent, and knew that her request was a little abrupt. He whispered apologetically: "Tenth sister, I know this request has embarrassed you. You did me a favor at that time, went to meet my second brother, and encouraged him a few words. Maybe his mood will be better, and his illness will heal sooner. At least I can hold on to the Spring Festival. ”

Ye Qinglan's heart softened, so she had to nod and respond. The patient's mood is strong-willed, and sometimes the effect is better than that of drinking medicine.

Cui Wan finally had a smile on her face and thanked her again and again.

Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law is too much to see like this, it's just a gesture, what is there to thank." I'll go first to greet my mother, and when you leave in the afternoon, you will have someone call me again. ”

Cui Wan happily answered before leaving. His expression was much lighter than before.

Ye Qinglan's mood was really not relaxed, and she sighed secretly in her heart, and then packed up her mood and went to the Hefeng Courtyard to see the Xue family.

Xue's mood was not much better, and when he saw Ye Qinglan, he naturally didn't have a good voice: "I lived well in the Dingguo Mansion, why did I suddenly come back?" ”

Ye Qinglan replied respectfully: "Back to my mother, when the eldest brother and Brother Cui Shi fell into the water, my daughter was also present at the time. I couldn't feel at ease, so I rushed back to take a look. ”

It's okay not to mention this, but it's even more angry when Xue is mentioned. In the final analysis, the bane of the whole thing is Ye Qinglan. If it weren't for her, how could Ye Yuanzhou do such a foolish thing!

Thinking like this, the more he looked at that beautiful and pretty face, the more unpleasant it became, Xue Shi even smiled stingily, and said coldly: "Since I am back, I will stay in the mansion with peace of mind in the future." The girl's house that hasn't been out of the pavilion is a guest who doesn't come back for a month, and what does it look like to spread it. Also, in the afternoon, I will take your eldest brother and second sister to visit Cui Gongzi in Cui's mansion, so you don't have to follow. ”

…… It's just enough to bring Ye Yuanzhou with the apology, what to do with Ye Qingfu?

Ye Qinglan's mind was racing, and she quickly guessed Xue's intentions, and couldn't help but sneer secretly. Xue Shi had a good idea, deliberately smearing himself in front of He, so that He Shi had no good impression of himself. and then led Ye Qingfu to appear, the intention is self-evident. This kind of brazen thing is due to Xue's doing.

I don't want to think about it, Cui Yu was sick from falling into the water by Ye Yuanzhou, and now he is bedridden. Even if it was an "accident", it was enough for He to be angry and angry. Xue Shi still has such an idea at such a time, and I can't find an adjective to describe her!

She's not trying to mess things up. I had promised Cui Wan before, and I couldn't follow it in the afternoon.

"Mother, I met my sister-in-law when I came back just now." Ye Qinglan still looked respectful, but what she said was so angry that she couldn't pay for her life: "My cousin-in-law asked me to accompany her to Cui's Mansion in the afternoon, I wanted to refuse, but I really couldn't open my mouth, so I had to agree first." I hope my mother won't be angry. ”

Seriously, she didn't want to go either. However, since you can respond to Xue's once, it is worth the ticket price!

Xue's face was really gloomy. It's just that no matter how happy she is, she can't say anything. Ye Qinglan said very clearly, it was Cui Wan who specially invited her to Cui's mansion. This time, Ye Yuanzhou was in trouble, she personally came to the door to apologize, and she had to rely on Cui Wan to make a round from it......

"Third sister! When did you get back? A voice of slight surprise sounded behind him, breaking the silence.

As soon as they heard this voice, Xue Shi and Ye Qinglan almost frowned in unison. Xue glared at Ye Yuanzhou, who was full of surprise, unhappily: "You are also suffering from the cold, don't stay in bed well, and run around what you want." ”

Ye Yuanzhou responded perfunctorily: "I'll go back to rest later." His eyes involuntarily drifted to Ye Qinglan's body.

This scene fell in Xue's eyes, and it was simply a dazzling cone. The net of anger in his heart surged upward, and he was reluctant and inconvenient to scold Ye Yuanzhou, so his cold eyes flew to Ye Qinglan's body like a flying knife.

Ye Qinglan lowered her eyelids: "Mother, my daughter came back in the carriage, and now she is very tired, so she will retire for the time being." ”

Xue Shi wished that she would disappear quickly, so he hummed casually.

Ye Qinglan saluted, and then walked away. After returning to their own house, the maids were busy going to settle down, and Ye Qinglan deliberately left Ruomei to speak.

"How old are you?" Ye Qinglan picked a topic at random and started.

Ruomei replied respectfully: "The slave is eighteen." ”

After a few painless questions, I slowly got to the point: "Do you know martial arts?" "Looking at Ruomei's hands, you know that she is a practitioner.

Ruomei responded humbly: "Slaves and maids know some, but they are not profound." It can handle two or three people at the same time. What I didn't say was that these two or three people were not referring to ordinary people, but the kind of strong and strong family members who specialized in taking care of the home.

Ye Qinglan naturally heard the meaning of the words, and her heart was suddenly relieved. It seems that in the future, there is no need to worry about Ye Yuanzhou coming to him at any time, with Ruomei waiting by his side at any time, it is impossible for Ye Yuanzhou to do anything wrong. Gu Xinian specially sent Ruomei to his side, and it seemed that he was also worried about this......

"Miss, the slave is also a little more proficient in medicine." Ruomei said very subtly, but her eyes flashed with confidence.

Ye Qinglan suddenly became interested and asked, "Which aspect are you proficient in?" Will you see a doctor and prescribe medication? ”

Not really. Ruomei shook her head: "Slaves and maids are good at drugs and poisons. ”

Ye Qinglan's eyes lit up.

This is much more powerful than having a strong martial arts. No matter how good the martial arts are, they can deal with a few people at most. But those who are proficient in drugs and poisons can deal with more people on their own. Such talents are treasures wherever they are placed, Gu Xinian is really willing to give such talents to himself.

Ruomei seemed to know what Ye Qinglan was thinking, and suddenly there was a smile in her eyes: "The slave and maid brazenly boasted, in the secret guard, the slave and maid can at least rank in the top three." Before coming, the prince specially told the slave maid to serve the young lady well, the slave and the maid must do their best, please rest assured. ”

With that clear smile, it was clear that she had guessed the relationship between her and Gu Xinian......

Ye Qinglan's cheeks were slightly hot, but she didn't deny it, but smiled: "You were sent by him to protect me, I can trust him, of course I can trust you." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was tantamount to acknowledging the relationship with Gu Xinian.

This time, it was Ruomei's turn to be surprised.

As a secret guard, you just need to follow the orders of your master. You should never ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. Even if you know it in your heart, you shouldn't reveal it. The few words and the clear smile just now are already beyond the norm.
