Ye Wanshu didn't think much about it. After all, she was familiar with the ways of being the head of the Duke's Mansion. She could take advantage of this birthday banquet to let her aunt see how stupid she had been all these years.
Seeing the maids coming in to announce breakfast, Ye Wanshu personally served her aunt some bird's nest and fish paste porridge, and then went to have breakfast with Qingmian and Tingji.
When the brother and sister were just four years old, they were sent to Yunqing Mountain in the far suburbs of Lin'an to study under the great scholar of the time, Mr. Li Jing. They could only return home once in the middle of each month. Although they were not raised by Ye Huaisu, they were very filial and sensible.
The only thing that is incompatible with the people in the Duke's Mansion is his ideology.
Mr. Li respected Ye Wanshu's mother's courage to face the world and break the shackles, so the brother and sister followed the old man completely.
"Cousin, my mother is a bit paranoid. Don't be too accommodating to her."
After breakfast, Gu Qingmian leaned close to Ye Wanshu's ear and said affectionately, "Aji and I only hope that your cousin can live like our aunt and follow her heart. We don't want your cousin to be like our mother, who has to compromise for us."
Ye Wanshu didn't know how to respond. If her aunt hadn't been so paranoid, how could she have died so early in her previous life?
Qingmian's personality was nothing like her aunt's, and her thoughts reflected the thoughts of most girls in the boudoir. It was a pity that after King Yan ascended the throne in her previous life, she was eventually sent to the palace and died of depression.
Fortunately, it is still early for King Yan to ascend the throne, and everything can still be salvaged.
Gently holding Gu Qingmian's palm, Ye Wanshu looked at her with warm eyes and said, "Qingmian, in this life, we sisters should strive to live according to our hearts."
"Yeah." Gu Qingmian responded softly and smiled at her: "Cousin, I will."
Gu Tingji watched from the side, feeling very warm, and a warm smile blossomed in his clear eyes: "Then I will work hard to protect the two sisters, and I will definitely let them live according to their hearts in this life."
The three siblings smiled at each other, and the happy atmosphere added a bit of relaxation to the originally depressing room.
In the outer courtyard, Gu Tingchen sat in the pavilion early in the morning, waiting patiently for Ye Wanshu to dress up carefully and go to Changle Street with him.
But after waiting for a long time, I only got a simple reply from Xiaodie.
"Young Master, my cousin said she is busy."
Xiaodie finished her report in fear and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into the prince's eyes at all.
Gu Tingchen's eyes were dark and he clenched his fists tightly.
He didn't believe that Wanwan really wanted to distance herself from him.
I went to great lengths to marry her, shouldn't she be very touched?
What is she being so reserved about?
It seems that women cannot be spoiled too much. After thinking it over, Gu Tingchen decided to ignore her for a while.
