The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 29 Negotiation
"Is this what my sister meant, or what grandma meant?" Ye Zhaoqing interrupted, "What are you in a hurry for? It won't be too late when grandma wakes up, right?"

Ye Xiangwan's eyes flickered, and he bit his lips and said, "Sister, you misunderstood, sister, I really meant it out of kindness, I was afraid that grandma would get angry with you later, so this..."

"Then I would like to thank my sister." Ye Zhaoqing said calmly, "I can't bother you all the time. There are some things that I have to bear. Even if I can hide for a while, I can't hide for a lifetime, can I?"

Ye Xiangwan didn't expect her to say that. She was taken aback when she heard the words, but soon recovered her normal expression: "Sister, what are you talking about? Grandma is our relative. Even if she is punished for a while, the heart that loves my sister There must be no less..."

"I heard from Concubine Rong that grandma is going to send me to the family temple?" Ye Zhaoqing interrupted coldly.

Ye Zhaoqing was still a little surprised when she heard the news from Concubine Rong, but at this moment, hearing Ye Xiangwan's hypocritical love, she couldn't bear it any longer.

"Where did my sister hear this news?" Ye Xiangwan was taken aback when he heard this, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his beautiful face: "Sister, I have never heard it from my grandmother! "

Ye Zhaoqing's tone was cool, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, he said: "I don't know about it, but after all, Concubine Rong can't lie, right?" As he spoke, he even smiled self-deprecatingly.

Ye Xiangwan stared at that smile for a while, put away the surprise on his face, pursed his lips and said, "Sister, as long as grandma hasn't said it herself..."

Before the words were finished, the door behind the two of them creaked open, and Nanny Li walked out quickly and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Old Madam invites you in!"

"Sister, go in!" Ye Xiangwan regained her soft smile, stepped forward and took Ye Zhaoqing's arm.

Smelling a faint fragrance of butterflies at the tip of her nose, Ye Zhaoqing frowned involuntarily. Now, she very much disliked Ye Xiangwan from being so close to herself.While walking, she avoided her support without a trace.

In the room, Mrs. Ye had already sat up on the couch, and two maids with combed temples were serving her to rinse her mouth with towels and spittoons.After Ye Zhaoqing came in, he knelt down at the lower head position.

Ye Xiangwan walked over: "Grandmother!"

"Ah Wan, sit down!" Mrs. Ye finished rinsing her mouth, looked up at her favorite granddaughter kindly, and then went to see Ye Zhaoqing.

"What did Empress Concubine Rong ask you to do?"

There was no pleasantries, no politeness, and the cold and straight-forward approach, Mrs. Ye said with a sullen face the purpose of calling Ye Zhaoqing over.

Ye Zhaoqing was used to this for a long time, and when he heard this, he lowered his eyes and replied: "Returning to my grandmother, Concubine Rong asked her granddaughter to come over, she just asked her briefly, she didn't say anything important."

"Impossible!" Mrs. Ye frowned and said: "What kind of person is she, and her status is so noble! How could she summon you, an ominous person, for no reason? There must be a reason!" As she said, she scrutinized Ye Zhaoqing With a glance, he said, "Could it be that you don't want to say it? Do you want me to serve you with great torture?"

"How could it be!" Ye Zhaoqing immediately shook his head: "Concubine Rong asked her granddaughter how old she is this year, and whether she has a betrothed family. After that, she didn't say anything else."

"Really?" Mrs. Ye raised her eyebrows and looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down after hearing this, and then said: "Then how did you answer the empress, tell me exactly!"

Ye Zhaoqing had no choice but to recount the scene at that time.Of course, when Concubine Rong tempted her to stay by her side with benefits, Ye Zhaoqing didn't say a single word, because it was unnecessary, saying it would only bring disaster on himself.

"If this is the case, there is no need for the empress to ask my sister to go over, right? Could it be because of yesterday's incident?" Ye Xiangwan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Sister, think about it carefully and see if there is anything missing. No."

Ye Zhaoqing heard this, thought carefully for a moment, and hurriedly said: "By the way, I almost forgot one thing. I met Fang Zhilin, the daughter of Fang Changhai, Minister of Rites, in the maiden's courtyard."

"Miss Fang Six?" Ye Xiangwan couldn't help being stunned.

Mrs. Ye's brows were also tightly frowned: "She is the niece of Concubine Rong's natal family. The Fang family recently deliberately matched her with His Highness the First Prince. It is not surprising that you met her there. Why, you offended her ?”

"No granddaughter!" Ye Zhaoqing shook his head hastily, and said what Fang Zhilin cursed her at that time, and finally said with aggrieved face: "I have tried not to conflict with her..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye's expression became a little subtle. She looked at Ye Zhaoqing for a moment, and then asked: "When you were talking to Miss Fang, did Concubine Rong send someone to stop her?"

"A nanny came out to invite the two of us in." Ye Zhaoqing replied slowly, "But at that time, Miss Fang Six had been cursing her granddaughter for a long time..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye immediately sneered: "She is right! Don't you just know the heights of the sky and the earth? You should not have been allowed to see the eldest prince yesterday! That's all! This matter was my mistake, from now on From now on, you will stay in your yard and never come out again, you understand?"

"Yes, grandma." Ye Zhaoqing lowered his head, covering up the joy in his eyes, and replied in a low voice.

Mrs. Ye waved her hand impatiently, and Nanny Li immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, please? This servant will take you back!"

Ye Zhaoqing nodded, saluted Mrs. Ye again, then turned around and retreated slowly.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Ye turned to Ye Xiangwan with a serious expression and asked, "Ah Wan, what do you think of this matter?"

"Grandmother, my granddaughter feels that Concubine Rong is already dissatisfied with her sister, but she maintains her identity and doesn't want to give people the impression of bullying a weak woman, so she uses Miss Fang Six to teach her a lesson." Ye Xiang Wan said in a deep voice, "Is the granddaughter right?"

Mrs. Ye nodded, and said with a sad face: "That's right! You've gone to the same place with me." As she spoke, a look of disgust appeared on her face: "The thing I was most worried about happened after all! Because the funeral Men Xing, I'm afraid Concubine Rong is also dissatisfied with you! What should I do?"

After Ye Xiangwan heard this, a hint of sadness appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Grandmother, just outside, my sister told me that Concubine Rong mentioned to her that you want to lock her up in the family temple." things."

"What? What, what's going on here?" Mrs. Ye was startled when she heard this, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" As she spoke, she turned around and looked at Qiao Yuan, the maid beside her. He ordered: "You go! Bring that mourner back!"

"Grandmother!" Ye Xiangwan raised her voice immediately, stepped forward to stop her, and said, "Don't call me sister!"

Mrs. Ye took a fixed look at her, waved her hands and ordered Qiao Yuan to back down.
