As the days passed, the invitation from the Protector's Mansion was sent to the General's Mansion.

The old lady immediately called her over, pointed to the invitation, and said, "You should have read this post, right?" ”

"I've seen it."

Ye Ying nodded slightly, "The general said that he would help prepare the gift for the gift." ”

"I know." The old lady said lightly, her knuckles tapped lightly on the table, "This rare banquet, I thought that your sister should also go, she has been closed for so long, and she must have reflected enough, so I asked you to ask how to see this matter." ”

"Since it is the old lady's intention, the concubine naturally has to do it."

Ye Ying smiled slightly, looking obedient, "Then it's better to be like this, if Sister Qiao'er is in the courtyard these days, we will take her with us, and I will also make her a new dress these days, what do you think?" ”

Although the old lady was a little displeased with her premises, fortunately she nodded, and Qi Muyuan naturally had no opinions.

What's more, it's just a few days to remind Qi Qiao'er and let her pretend to be more in front of Ye Ying.

Thinking of this, the old lady nodded and said lightly: "Then it's up to you, if Qiao'er behaves well, you also have to remember your words today." ”

"This is natural, Sister Qiao'er has become better, and it is a happy thing for me."

Ye Ying pursed her lips and smiled, looking really like she was thinking about Qi Qiao'er.

But the old lady understood that she was not sincere, but she didn't care if she was sincere or not, as long as she nodded.

After a while, she used sleepiness as an excuse to let Ye Ying retire.

Ye Ying walked out of the old lady's room, and on the way back to her room, she saw the housekeeper running over and handing her a post.

"Madam, there is a young lady surnamed Gu outside, who insists on seeing you."

Look at?

A figure crossed Ye Ying's mind.

After pondering for a moment, she opened the post and took a look, where Gu Xin's name was written on it.

Slowly putting away the post, she said to the butler, "Please let her sit in my room." ”

"Yes."

After Ye Ying saw the housekeeper leave, she slowly walked towards her yard.

Gu Xin, Ye Ying doesn't hate it, and she has a good impression, but she doesn't want to make deep friends.

Every word she says seems to have some purpose hidden, so that people will always subconsciously be vigilant, rather than sincere heart-to-heart.

After returning to the room and waiting for a while, Ye Ying saw Gu Xin.

This girl is still so smart and lively, and her smile is also very kind.

"Gu Xin has seen Madame."

"No need to be polite, sit down."

Ye Yingxu pointed to the seat, then held the tea bowl and looked at her with a gentle smile: I don't know what Miss Gu is for today?

Gu Xin looked at her with his cheeks and said with a smile: "Since Mrs. asked, then I will also say it bluntly, I hope Mrs. can take me to the lotus banquet of the Protector Mansion." ”

"You're going to a lotus feast?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Ye Ying's eyes, "Why do you want to go to this banquet?" ”

Gu Xin's eyes turned, and he said crisply: "This is my own business, presumably Mrs. is not a person who necessarily inquires into the privacy of others, right?" I can only assure Madame that I will never do anything against Madame. ”

Ye Ying narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Xin carefully, and the latter let her look at it like this, and she didn't shy away from it.

She still had a lot of things to do, and naturally she didn't want to get involved in this trouble.

Just about to refuse, she suddenly thought of something, so she changed her mind and said, "In that case, how about we make a deal?" ”

"Madame, please."

"There is a Miss Qi living in the general's mansion, she is the general's cousin, she is still grounded, but because of this lotus feast, she may be released, as long as you help me continue to lock her up like this, let her go, I will agree to your request."

Qi Qiaoer......

Gu Xin made a thoughtful look.

She thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Madam, you should have an idea, right?" Do you want me to cooperate? ”

"Yes."

Ye Ying nodded, "I don't know if you want to do this deal?" ”

"Yes, as long as you can take me to the Protector's Mansion."

Gu Xin agreed very simply, and there was a faint look of determination in his eyes.

Making a deal with her, Ye Ying is more comfortable, at least, there is no need to think about what her purpose is, only the two of them do what they should do with each other, and that's it.

Ye Ying smiled.

She put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Gu Xin warmly, and said, "In that case, these days, you can live in the General's Mansion, and I will talk to the General." ”

"Okay."

Gu Xin suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something interesting, "I asked my wife to let me stay for a while, but you didn't agree at that time, but today, it's different." ”

Ye Ying smiled faintly and did not reply to her words.

She suddenly thought that maybe Gu Xin wanted to go to the Protector's Mansion to participate in the lotus banquet at that time, so she wanted to come to the General's Mansion.

This girl is a very bold and decisive person, but she doesn't know if she is smart enough.

Ye Ying arranged for her to stay in the house and took her to meet the old lady.

The old lady liked her quite much, and Ye Ying could even see that she wanted to give Gu Xin to Qi Muyuan as a concubine.

Gu Xin was not interested, and Ye Ying would not agree.

In the evening, Ye Ying told Qi Muyuan about it.

Qi Muyuan was quite happy for her.

"It's also good to have someone with you, so that you won't be lonely in the house."

"There are so many people and so many things in this house, where am I lonely."

Ye Ying looked at him amusedly and brought him the freshly stewed tonic soup.

"This is what the kitchen made today, you can take a sip."

Qi Muyuan took two sips after taking it, it was very delicious and refreshing, and it was not greasy or hot at all.

Ye Ying saw that he was drinking well, so she picked up her bowl and drank it.

Early the next morning, after Qi Muyuan left, Gu Xin came to her room.

She was playing with a flower in her hand, and she looked very energetic.

Jumping into Ye Ying's room, she didn't be polite to her, and asked directly, "When are we going to make a move?" ”

"Just today."

Ye Ying stood up with her waist and looked at the sun outside, it was a good day.

She retracted her gaze and said softly, "Don't you ask what kind of person Qi Qiao'er is?" ”

"I don't have to ask much to know that she's not a good person, because I know you're a good person, ma'am."

Gu Xin said with a smile, which was obviously innocent, but her eyes flashed with wisdom, which was extremely convincing.

Ye Ying didn't say anything more, straightened her clothes, and walked towards Qi Qiao'er's courtyard with Gu Xin.

Because of the old lady's reminder, she has been quiet these days, and when she arrives at the gate of the courtyard, it is also quiet.
