Chapter 198 You are in a good mood
Xie Chengyan's mansion was deserted all year round, and there was no sign of New Year's celebration. Ye Lanzhou suddenly had an idea and wanted to decorate the palace.
Yan Su's health had improved a lot. Ye Lanzhou would sometimes take her to the backyard to spend time. She was bored from being cooped up in the house all day, so this was a way to relieve her stress. Her body had become noticeably thinner, and it was difficult for her to bend over. She also walked much slower than before.
Fortunately, Xie Chengyan ordered the people in the mansion that no one was allowed to enter the backyard. Otherwise, given Yan Su's current condition, the servants in the mansion would have started gossiping tomorrow.
Originally, Ye Lanzhou entered the palace under the pretext of being Xie Chengyan's pregnant concubine. Later, she left the palace for a while, and when she returned, no one mentioned her pregnancy. It was unknown whether Xie Chengyan had used some excuse to suppress it, or whether the servants in the palace were discerning and did not dare to interfere in their master's affairs.
Ye Lanzhou thought it should be the former.
The servants in the palace were not regular palace servants. At the beginning, the people in the palace did not expect Xie Chengyan to be able to return to the capital alive, so they set up a separate mansion for him in a hurry. Among the servants transferred there, in addition to the spies planted by the Empress Dowager, there were also palace servants who entered the palace but had not received any training.
Xie Chengyan was too lazy to spend time and energy teaching them. As long as it didn't harm him, nothing else mattered.
As a result, some servants worked diligently but were not able to control their mouths.
Before, Ye Lanzhou heard a cleaning servant say that the concubine Xie Chengyan brought back was actually someone else's wife, and the child in her belly was also someone else's. Their prince liked her, but the girl refused, so he took her back to the prince's palace.
When Ye Lanzhou heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Is Xie Chengyan such a domineering person in the eyes of the servants in the palace?
These words are heard less frequently now, perhaps because Ye Lanzhou lives near the backyard and rarely sees people, so he hears them less.
It was cold in Beijing now, and Ye Lanzhou suddenly felt that it was not a good decision to let Yan Su go out. Catching a cold would make her feel worse. But Yan Su seemed bored staying in the house, and insisted on walking in the backyard with Ye Lanzhou.
After spending these days together, she and Yan Su have become familiar with each other, especially after Yan Su was framed and Ye Lanzhou rescued her. The two of them got along much more comfortably and were like friends.
Although Ye Lanzhou has been taking care of Yan Su these days, Yan Su is actually a few years older than Ye Lanzhou, and because she has more experience, her insight is much stronger than Ye Lanzhou's.
Hearing that Ye Lanzhou was thinking about decorating the palace, she smiled meaningfully and asked, "Have you been in a good mood recently?"
Maybe it was because her relationship with Xie Chengyan had taken a step forward, and her mood was indeed much better than before, but she thought that Yan Su and Xie Chengyan were still in a state of confrontation. Yan Su had said before that she could take Ye Lanzhou away from the palace, but now she didn't have that heart to do so, and she didn't know how to explain it to her clearly for a while.
Ye Lanzhou handed Yan Su a hand warmer and asked her to hold it. She looked down at it, did not refuse, and took it and held it in her arms.
Ye Lanzhou just said vaguely: "It's okay."
Yan Su was quite straightforward and asked directly, "Are you dating Xie Chengyan?"
Ye Lanzhou turned abruptly and met Yan Su's eyes, which were filled with smiles after her success. Yan Su gripped the heater tightly, feeling the warmth from her fingertips. She added, "I just guessed it casually, and it seems I was right."
