Ye Qingshu pulled Wenzhu and Fangcao to accompany the old lady to wipe the leaf card, and seeing that the time was almost up, the grandparents and grandchildren cleaned up and went to sleep.

As soon as Ye Qingshu got into bed, he turned sideways and hugged the arm of Mrs. Zhi, and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, I invited the county lord of Yanyang to come to enjoy the flowers tomorrow, you ordered that Ruyi should not come to make trouble, last time he said that the county lord of Yanyang was stupid, and the county lord of Yanyang was angry and cried."

Mrs. Zhi fell into a stack of voices, and finally remembered something, and patted her arm comfortingly, "Ruyi is still young, her temperament is unstable, and it will be good when she grows up."

It seems that since she can remember, Mrs. Zhi likes to joke that she and Zhi Qiyi are natural enemies, so when she heard Shu Shi say that she would marry back to the Zhiguo Mansion, she subconsciously thought that Shu Shi was talking about Zhi Qiyi.

And Mrs. Zhi must also think so, even if it is a grandmother who is a close relative, she will not use it to make fun of her granddaughter at will.

She puffed out deliberately, "He's thirteen years old!" How do you grow up? His cousin wasn't like that when he was thirteen! At the age of thirteen, everyone began to discuss marriage, which girl is willing to marry him! ”

Sure enough, the old lady was anxious when she heard it, and talked about the benefits of her intentions.

Ye Qingshu refuted sentence by sentence, and turned the old lady Zhi's mouth dry and dizzy, and then pretended to ask casually, "Speaking of which, even if you want to do it, why didn't my cousin make a family appointment?" ”

"Why didn't you book—"

Old Madam Zhi suddenly stopped talking and patted her arm gently, "My daughter's family, don't ask about these things!" Tell people to laugh! It's not early, go to bed! ”

Although Mrs. Zhi stopped talking in time, it was enough for Ye Qingshu to know that Zhi Qihua had made a family appointment before, but then it was shelved for some reason.

Yesterday, she sent Du Juan to investigate, but she didn't find out that Zhi Qihua had ever been engaged.

The eldest son and eldest grandson of the Zhiguo Mansion, if they are engaged and put on hold, it will definitely be a sensation, and a simple check can find out.

You don't even need to check, an old man like Du Juan will definitely know it.

However, the cuckoo did not know and did not find a trace.

Now Mrs. Zhi said that Zhi Qihua was engaged, so there may be only one, the two sides agreed verbally, and they would wait for Zhi Qihua to be older, and then settle down, but I didn't want to have a change.

Ye Qingshu remembered that Du Juan said that he had heard that Zhi Qihua was going to marry Ye Qingling in the future, but later he didn't do it.

Hearing –

Du Juan was originally serving Mrs. Zhi, and what she said about "hearing it" is only an absolute fact, and it should be Ye Qingling who was originally married to Zhi Qihua!

But because of some kind of change, the person who married back to the Zhiguo Mansion became her, and the old lady Zhi wanted her to marry Zhi Qiyi, while the Shu family wanted her to marry Zhi Qihua.

And this change is mostly due to Zhi Qihua's crippled legs-

“…… When the girl was about six years old, the old lady didn't say what happened to the eldest girl, but only said that the girl and the second master would quarrel when they met, and they were simply natural enemies......"

When she was six years old, Ye Qingling was ten years old, and Zhi Qihua was twelve years old-

That year, Zhi Qihua froze and damaged the meridians of his legs because of rescuing King An, and he was unable to stand up from then on.

The change will only be a cripple -

Ye Qingshu subconsciously thought of Old Lady Ye and Pang Zi, and then denied it.

At that time, Ye Shouyi was just a five-grade Hanlin servant, if it weren't for the cousin of the Zhiguo Mansion, Ye Qingling would not have found a mother-in-law like the Zhiguo Mansion, let alone a better in-law than the Zhiguo Mansion.

Even if Zhi Qihua breaks his legs, even if he will not inherit the throne of the prince in the future, he is still the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Zhiguo Mansion, and Old Lady Ye and Pang will never give up such a family business.

Ye Shouyi, no, according to his character, if something like this happens, he will only become more and more determined to marry the Zhiguo Mansion.

Then the only ones left are the mother and the eldest sister-

Ye Qingshu began to think back to the relationship between the Zhi clan and Ye Qingling and the Zhiguo Mansion over the years, especially the Shu clan and Zhi Qihua.

Anyone with a heart can see that the Shu family is completely concerned and pity for the Zhi family, but he always has a lukewarm feeling towards Ye Qingling.

And Ye Qingling was easily reluctant to come to the Zhiguo Mansion, and he was also very cautious when he arrived at the Zhiguo Mansion.

And Zhi Qihua almost never spoke to Ye Qingling, she originally thought that it was because Ye Qingling was old and it was not good to get too close to her cousin of the same age.

And Shu Shi likes himself too much, so he doesn't love Ye Qingling enough in comparison.

Although Ye Qingshu didn't want to admit it, or even think about it, he had to admit that it was only Ye Qingling who repented.

Originally, the marriage was a major event, and the words of the matchmaker of her parents' orders, even if Ye Qingling was unwilling, she was powerless to change the facts, but she was the cousin of Zhi Qihua's relatives, and it happened that Zhi Qihua encountered a big disaster.

Ye Qingshu has been sticking to Zhiqihua since he was a child, and when Zhiqihua was injured, she guarded him from morning to night.

She was only six years old at the time, and she was very sensitive and suspicious, and she always suspected that the adults were coaxing her when they said that her cousin would be fine soon, for fear that she would die if she made a mistake.

Death, she knows, will be secretly pulled out and buried in the soil by those adults, just like Mama Huang's little grandson who died of wind and cold.

Crippled legs are a much more serious disease than the wind cold, and my cousin will die, and the adults will drag him out and bury him in the earth, and she will never see him again......

She guarded him from morning to night, until she couldn't hold back to sleep and was carried back to Sanssouci by Mama Huang, but as soon as she woke up, she would run back to Qinlan Garden.

She still remembered that at that time, Mama Huang always chased after her with clothes, shoes and socks, and shouted while chasing, "Girl, put on your clothes!" Otherwise, the young master will be angry! You little hooves, dead ones, don't stop the girl yet! ”

She also remembered that at the beginning, Zhi Qihua didn't talk all day long, and then she was slowly willing to say a few words to her, but only with her.

She remembered that Shu Shi once hugged her and cried silently, "Good girl, talk to your cousin more!" Yes! Aunt is afraid that your cousin will not be able to hold on! Aunt is afraid! ”

But from beginning to end, she didn't remember Ye Qingling appearing, she thought that she might have secretly rejoiced at that time, she envied Ye Qingling, jealous of Ye Qingling, as long as Ye Qingling appeared by her side, she was uncomfortable.

Ye Qingling didn't show up, she didn't come to grab her cousin with her, she was secretly happy, so she subconsciously ignored the fact that Ye Qingling should also come to see Zhiqihua from time to time......

Ye Qingling avoided it, with Shu's strength and Zhiqihua's sensitivity, this family business naturally came to an end.

Originally, if such a thing happened, Shu would never agree to let Zhi Qiyi engage with him.

Only the old lady wanted her granddaughter to marry back, and began to talk about herself and her intentions intentionally or unintentionally.

And Shu Shi was afraid that he took a fancy to his closeness to Zhi Qihua, so he acquiesced, but he made up his mind to marry Zhi Qihua for him.

She was afraid that something would happen halfway, so she didn't pick it out, so she kept pressing Zhi Qihua's family affairs openly and secretly, patiently waiting for herself to grow up, and asking for her approval.

She was afraid that she would follow Ye Qingling's old path again!

Unconsciously, Ye Qingshu's tears were already wet on her pillow, she didn't know if it was because she cherished Zhi Qihua and Shu's family, or because she discovered the truth that she never wanted to discover, and saw the coldness and ruthlessness of her eldest sister back then......
