Ye Qiuniang's face changed.

Even the ruddy lips lost their blood color and trembled slightly. After a while, I squeezed out a few words: "My cousin won't treat me like this." ”

Xie Mingxi tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"My cousin would never do this to me." Ye Qiuniang's voice was slightly raised, her breathing was short, and her chest rose and fell, as if she was convincing herself: "I grew up with him since I was a child, and I have a deep affection. He also told me yesterday that when my mother's condition improves, he will come to the door to propose marriage and marry me. ”

"How could he send me into a fire pit? It's impossible! ”

The last sentence, almost screaming.

However, whether her mind is as firm as a rock or not, only Ye Qiuniang knows in her heart.

Xie Mingxi looked at the pretty girl who was out of shape in front of him steadily, but what flashed in his mind was Ye Qiuniang, who was calmly dying at a glimpse in his previous life.

No wonder Ye Qiuniang was so shocked!

Which young girl is willing to believe that her lover is a wolf-hearted wolf?

"Ye Qiuniang," Xie Mingxi's voice was still unhurried: "I'll just tell you that King Linjiang likes beauties." I don't mean to belittle your cousin. ”

"You are my Xie Mansion cook, and your cousin instigated and instigated you in every possible way to let you go to Linjiang Palace. I was surprised in my heart, so I just reminded you. ”

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Xie Mingxi's voice was calm and almost cold: "It's just that I also want to remind you." Don't be too naïve. What is the truth, you can see it clearly when you open your eyes wide. ”

"Your mother's illness urgently needs ginseng, you will go home tomorrow. When the time comes, Zhao Yang will definitely go to you. You can test your words and see if what I say today is true or false. ”

……

Ye Qiuniang held a large box of ginseng slices and returned to the house in despair.

Xie Mingxi is indeed a generous employer. In addition to the salary of ten taels of silver, three new dresses were prepared for her every season. The house is not big, but it is clean and elegant, and it has everything you need.

Ye Qiuniang hid the box, and then sat on the edge of the bed blankly, her thoughts were chaotic and her heart was numb.

Xie Mingxi won't lie to her!

The king of Linjiang likes to be beautiful, it must be true. As a guard of the Linjiang Palace, how could Zhao Yang not know this? Why did you encourage her to go to Linjiang Mansion to be a cook?

Is it really something else? Want to please your master by "offering beauty"?

No, my cousin likes her so much and will never do this to her!

Perhaps, there is another reason for this......

Ye Qiuniang bit her lip hard and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. Then lie down and force yourself to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, Ye Qiuniang got up.

Today, I have to take a day off and go home, and after making breakfast, I will make lunch in advance, and wait until noon to steam it and send it to Lotus Pond Academy.

After all this, the sky is faintly bright.

Ye Qiuniang wrapped it, carefully wrapped a large box of ginseng slices tightly, and then walked out of the Chunjin Pavilion.

Ye Qiuniang has superb cooking skills and good looks. There are many small servants in Xie Mansion who are thinking about her. On the way to the back door, at least three small servants came over to talk and offer courtesy.

Ye Qiuniang was in a bad mood today, she didn't pay attention to people at all, and walked quickly with her head down.

Outside the back door, a young man's face came into view: "Miss Ye! ”

Ye Qiuniang was startled, subconsciously paused and looked up.

……

This young man, about twenty-four or five years old, was dressed in a blue short, which was the same as that of the little servant in Xie's house. However, he is handsome in appearance, calm in temperament, and looks particularly down-to-earth and reliable.

Ye Qiuniang recognized the person at a glance: "It turned out to be the Yu manager." ”

This young man is none other than Yu An.

Yu An has been running outside, and only comes to Xie Mansion every five days. When Xie Mingxi summoned Yu An, he was not even on the side of Congyu Fuyu.

No one in the Chunjin Pavilion knew what Yu An was doing on weekdays.

Ye Qiuniang and Yu An have had a few encounters, but they are not familiar with each other.

Why is Yu An here? And a posture of waiting for her all the way......

Yu An seemed to see Ye Qiuniang's doubts, and took the initiative to explain with a smile: "Miss ordered someone to send me a letter last night, your mother is seriously ill, and you have to go home early this morning." The road is long and walking is a waste of time. Mademoiselle asked me to rent a carriage and take you home. ”

Ye Qiuniang was stunned again, and an indescribable feeling of emotion and shame surged into her heart.

She was renunciated, but Xie Mingxi didn't mind, and treated her so generously.

Death for a confidant!

This doesn't seem to be appropriate here, but Ye Qiuniang can't find a second sentence to describe her mood at the moment.

From now on, she will definitely stay in Xie Mansion with all her heart and do her best to make delicious food. will never disappoint Xie Mingxi again!

"In this case, thank you for the rest of the house." Ye Qiuniang was not pretentious, and quickly thanked her.

Yu An smiled, pulled the car door, and after Ye Qiuniang got into the carriage, she sat down at the wheel of the carriage by herself. It also avoids the suspicion of lonely men and widows being alone in the carriage and melon fields.

Such quiet thoughtfulness made Ye Qiuniang's heart swell with warmth, and it lasted for a long time.

……

Half an hour later.

The carriage stopped outside an alley.

Ye's mother has been ill for a few years, and the Ye family's foundation has long been hollowed out. The place where I used to live was more remote. After Ye Qiuniang entered Xie's Mansion to become a cook, she ruthlessly rented this small courtyard. It's also a little closer to Xie Fu.

Ye Qiuniang got out of the carriage and politely invited: "Since Steward Yu is here, it is better to go in and sit for a while." ”

Yu An said: "That's not necessary. I still have something to do, and when Shen Shizheng arrives, I will come back to take you back to Xie Mansion. ”

Ye Qiuniang's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you for the rest of the house." ”

A pretty face that exudes a breathtaking brightness and beauty.

Yu An was quite polite, just glanced at it, and quickly looked away: "Miss Ye doesn't have to be so polite. I also did at the behest of the young lady. Miss Ye wants to thank her, and she should go back to Miss Xie. ”

Ye Qiuniang nodded heavily: "You're right, after I go back, I must kowtow to Miss to thank you." ”

Yu An didn't say anything more and left quickly.

Ye Qiuniang hugged the package and stepped forward to knock on the door.

The door babbled open, revealing a delicate young face.

The boy was only twelve years old, a full five years younger than Ye Qiuniang. It is Ye Qiuniang's brother Ye Jingzhi. This year, he was admitted to Boyu College with the first grade of freshmen.

"Sister, you're finally back!"

Ye Jingzhi, who was full of sadness, was very happy when he saw Ye Qiuniang.

Ye Qiuniang cheered up, smiled and touched Ye Jingzhi's head: "Why didn't you go to the academy?" ”

Ye Jingzhi smiled bitterly: "My mother's condition has worsened, I can't rest assured, so I specially took two days off." After a pause, he said, "Last night, Cousin Zhao came back and said that you were going to Linjiang Mansion to be a cook. In the future, there will be money to cure my mother's illness! ”
