step by step

Chapter 258 Full of sincerity
At this moment Qi Lao walked into the house and reported: "Miss Liu, Mrs. Liu and Ji Si are coming."

Before Ye Zhaoyan came back to his senses, Ye Fugui got up from the collapsed bed first, "Come in, please."

Liu Shi walked in slowly with Ji Sinian, Ye Fugui hurried up to greet him: "Ma'am."

Liu Shi nodded with a smile.

"Ye Zhaoyan." A jade-like voice came, and the slightly crisp voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, which made the ears soften a little, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so you will be fine."

Ye Zhaoyan then looked at Ji Sinian who was beside Mrs. Liu. He was wearing a snow blue gown, a jade belt with a silver thread border around his waist, and his jet-black long hair was combed into a high bun. Suet white hosta, the whole person looks like a piece of clean jade.

After not seeing him for a few days, the vigor on his body has diminished a lot, and it has become a little more gentle.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan look over, Ji Sinian's eyes sparkled brightly, and he seemed quite amazed. The girl who returned from the battlefield showed even more heroic spirit in her brows.

It's just that Ye Zhaoyan didn't pay much attention, thinking of how he took care of Ye Fugui during this period of time, he sincerely said: "Thank you for your concern."

The gentle tone was different from any time when swords were on the verge, making Ji Sinian's heart tremble, and he returned to the time when he first met Ye Zhaoyan, who was walking in the mountains and forests while holding the injured Ye Zhaoyan, when she was so gentle.

Ye Fugui took in all the reactions of the two of them, and immediately ordered the servant girl to serve tea, "Please sit down, both of you."

After taking her seat, Mrs. Liu smiled and asked about Ye Fugui's physical condition, and then turned the topic on Ye Zhaoyan: "I came here this time because I heard about Miss Ye and King Qing, so I brought Xiaonian with me. visit."

The smile on the corner of Ye Fugui's mouth froze instantly, and he was stunned for a moment before he could react.

It seems that Mrs. Liu also knows that His Majesty intends to grant a marriage for a while.

This is what worries her most now.

"If Madam needs help, Xiaonian and I will do our best." Madam Liu said sincerely.

Ji Sinian on the side also nodded solemnly, "I will go through fire and water, and I will do my best."

He spoke so seriously that Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile.

Ye Zhaoyan was surprised, it was the first time she heard Ji Sinian say such a thing.In the past many times, it was always Ji Sinian who drew his sword against her in order to protect others, but now he switched positions.

"Ma'am, what is the meaning of this?" Ye Fugui was a little surprised, if she was right, did Madam Liu mean that?
"Madam should know the feelings of Xiaonian and I." Madam Liu smiled even wider, her eyes shining brightly, "Both of us, mother and son, hope that Miss Ye can find a good husband instead of being forced to marry him. Royal clan."

Ye Fugui was taken aback for a moment, she really wanted to make Ye Zhaoyan settle down before His Majesty bestowed the marriage.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Sinian for a while, and saw that he had a humble attitude, with a gentleman's demeanor as warm as water in his gestures, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and smiled again at the corner of his mouth.

If marrying Ji Sinian, it would be much better than marrying Qing Wang, at least Ji Sinian is full of sincerity.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Although the important thing about marriage is the words of the parents, but the woman's heart is also very important. Naturally, I have to ask the eldest lady about her own wishes."

"Madam's words are very true." Ye Fugui naturally understood this truth, she hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Madam, do you have a good opinion?"

"It's not a good idea." Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, and said seriously: "In terms of suitable marriage candidates, there are not many people who are suitable for the eldest lady, and Xiaonian can't be considered a pick among them. However, the current situation It is critical, and the relationship between each family is delicate, so no one dares to step into this muddy water. However, Xiaonian and I are not afraid, but we don't know what the eldest lady and madam think."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell into a brief silence, and the string in Ji Sinian's heart became tense. It's not that he was rejected by Ye Zhaoyan before, but this time was different from any previous one.

This is his best chance yet.

Ye Zhaoyan realized in his heart that Mrs. Liu wanted to win them over.The method she was thinking of was not impossible, if the marriage was settled before King Qing's action or before His Majesty bestowed the marriage, then Emperor Donglin would have no choice.

After a long time, Ye Fugui took the lead to break the deadlock: "So, I want to ask Zhaoyan about his intentions."

During Ye Zhaoyan's absence, she was taken care of by the mother and son, and she understood their temperament and behavior better. Only then did she realize that many things in the past were misunderstandings.

More importantly, she felt the persistence and cherishment from the all-out maintenance. Even if Ji Sinian can be so desperate for his sweetheart's mother, it goes without saying that he has a deep affection for Ye Zhaoyan.

It is rare for Aiwu and Wu to be so righteous.

Hearing Ye Fugui's question, Ji Sinian was also nervous, his face was still calm, but his fingers couldn't help clenching the saber by his side.

After a while, Ye Zhaoyan lowered his head and said calmly to Madam Liu, "Madam was joking."

Ji Sinian's heart went cold for a moment, and he couldn't hide his disappointment, his throat was astringent, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ye Fugui was also taken aback, the child's behavior was too calm, she couldn't help but clenched the armrest of the chair, suppressed the panic in her heart, and forced herself to calm down: "Zhaoyan, are you just..."

It stands to reason that Zhaoyan shouldn't look down on Ji Sinian. After all, Ji Sinian is a good-looking man, he is an out-and-out handsome man, and he has such deep affection for her. When she was frowning, how could she refuse without even thinking about it?
Mrs. Liu also showed a bit of surprise, she thought that she would at least blush when she said these words, but after thinking about it, she didn't expect her to refuse so quickly.

However, Mrs. Liu is someone who has seen big scenes after all. After she calmed down a little, her tone was still gentle: "Zhaoyan, now there are rumors in the outside world that King Qing once personally begged His Majesty to marry you in the hall. If you really don't want to accept such a blessing, you might as well consider Xiaonian's marriage. I think Xiaonian has treated you well and sincerely wants to ask for marriage. As a mother, I can't bear to see him lose his sincerity, so I have the audacity to come here bother."

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help feeling a little dazed when she heard the word "marriage bestowed". She couldn't help thinking of the night in her previous life, when all the women in Suyang City watched the lights together. A woman in yellow was killed by someone. Sitting in groups on the high platform, a group of people surrounded her, full of excitement.

That person is the one whom His Majesty bestowed the marriage on, and Emperor Donglin bestowed marriage on her sweetheart and other women.

She remembered that when she heard the news, she passed out immediately, and when she woke up, she was already lying on the bed, but the maid beside her told her that Mr. Xue was drunk and entered the mansion with his fiancée Nalan Rouran .
