He insisted, "Thank you for your consideration, Grandmother! But, firstly, those two maids were specially assigned to my fourth sister, so it's not convenient for me to order them around! Secondly, Grandmother, you've wrongly blamed the maids and servants in my yard. I felt too hot, so I sent them back to their rooms, leaving Muchun alone to wait on me! They're not like Rui Mulang said, that someone comes every once in a while, but they're afraid to disturb my peace and don't dare to enter the inner room!"
Without waiting for the old lady to speak again, Yun Qianmeng looked at Yun Yijie and Yun Yijie, who were sitting at the table below, and asked in confusion, "Are you two cousins taking a break today? It's been a while since we last met. I wonder if you're getting used to living in the capital?"
The old lady frowned slightly when she heard Yun Qianmeng's words!
From the tone of Yun Qianmeng's words, it seemed as if she was the steward of this Xiangfu. She even asked Yi Jie and Yi Jie if they were used to it! Or did Yun Qianmeng simply look down on her two cousins and use this as a way to humiliate them?
Yun Qianmeng glanced coldly at the old lady's frown, and then continued, "Kyoto and Su City are quite far apart, so the weather is bound to be different! My two cousins, please take care of yourselves!"
After hearing her explanation, the old lady's brows relaxed and she smiled!
Seeing that his cousin had been talking for a long time, Yun Yijie naturally wanted to join in the conversation, so he said gently, "Thank you, Meng'er, for your concern! Although Jingdu and Sucheng are far apart, they are both in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, although the weather is different, it is not very obvious! But Meng'er seems to have lost a lot of weight. I guess she has been worrying too much recently!"
Yun Qianmeng looked at Yun Yijin and saw that he had calm eyes and spoke eloquently. It seemed that the old lady had put a lot of effort into this grandson. Moreover, although Yun Yiji was young, he was much more steady in his conduct and words than Yun Yiyi, who was only four years younger than him. She knew that Yun Yiji must be studying hard in order to bring honor to the family in the future!
"Thank you for your concern, cousin! Maybe it's because summer is here and I have changed into thin clothes, so I am not as bloated as in winter, and I look thinner! But my face is a little pale, I guess it's because you have been studying too hard recently! In fact, cousin, there is no need to work so hard. The imperial examination is not a matter of one day or one night. Cousin, you are working so hard now, don't ruin your body, otherwise you will lose more than you gain!" Yun Qianmeng smiled back, but there was a hint of coldness behind the smile!
It seems that Yun Yijie is a real person who keeps a low profile. He is usually busy with his studies silently, but when he is dealing with someone, he can destroy his opponent's reputation in an instant even with just a greeting!
Just now he just said that he was too worried. Knowing that they were from Kyoto, they were probably aware of the recent events in the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion!
Yun Yiyan was just reminding outsiders that his mother's family almost sold out their country for personal gain, and that he himself was just a sinner!
It's really scary that such thoughts appear in a boy who is only seventeen years old!
The old lady pretended not to hear the turmoil between her grandchildren, and always had a peaceful smile on her face!
However, since Yun Qianmeng stepped into the inner room, Yun Yijie's bright eyes had been staring at Yun Qianmeng's slender figure. From time to time, a disgusting lustful light flashed in his eyes!
Seeing Yun Ganmeng actually talking to his elder brother, Yun Yijie interrupted and said, "My cousin is getting more and more beautiful now!"
Yun Qianmeng then turned her gaze towards the man speaking. She saw that although he had been in Kyoto for about half a year, he still looked the same, slicked-back, powdered-faced man he had been at the Su Mansion. His malicious eyes, in particular, held a glint that could lead one to commit evil. A flash of coldness flashed across Yun Qianmeng's eyes, and then she smiled. "Cousin, you're too kind! Meng'er actually thinks Fourth Sister has become even more charming lately! In time, she'll definitely become a renowned socialite in the capital!"
The old lady loved to hear such flattery. Looking at her two grandsons who were about to take part in this year's autumn exam, she held Yun Qianmeng's hand tightly and said with some concern, "Whether Yiyi can become a famous lady depends on her two brothers! If they win the first place in this year's autumn exam, Yiyi's future marriage will not be a problem! But Meng'er also knows that your second uncle has no official title, and your father is always busy with official duties, leaving us four orphans and widows with no way out!"
When Yun Qianmeng heard the old lady say this, she knew that she was bringing up old matters again!
After hitting a snag with Yun Xuanzhi, he turned his target to himself!
This time, he deliberately sent away Yun Yiyi, who was prone to doing bad things, and left behind only his two beloved grandchildren, so that Yun Ganmeng could understand the talents of Yun Yi's brothers and let him act as a matchmaker for them!
Yun Qianmeng smiled calmly, but her eyes became more and more distant, with only a faint smile.
"The imperial examination is based on real ability! Grandma, please don't think of any other ways! Besides, Meng'er thinks that my cousin is extraordinary and can really make it on the list. Why should Grandma worry so much? If someone finds out that you bribed the examiner, it will truly ruin my cousin's life!"
When the old lady heard Yun Qianmeng's analysis, her expression gradually faded, and the hand holding Yun Qianmeng slowly loosened. Yun Qianmeng pretended to hook the loose hair behind her ear and pulled her hand out!
When Yun Yixi heard Yun Qianmeng cursing him like that, his eyes were suddenly filled with rage. He gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, trying to restrain himself from getting angry, lest Yun Qianmeng laugh at him. As for Yun Yijie, he looked indifferent, but seeing Yun Qianmeng's gentleness with a hint of thorniness, he felt itchy in his heart, and he really wanted to get close to this beautiful cousin!
Yun Qianmeng glanced at the expressions of the people in the inner room and realized that her refusal had upset several of them. She stood up, bowed to the three of them, and said softly, "Granddaughter will take her leave first!"
The old lady had been dissatisfied with Yun Ganmeng for a long time when she saw that she had repeatedly rejected her proposals. Now she didn't want to see her indifferent face, so she waved her hand irritably and asked her to go out!
But just as Yun Qianmeng stepped out of Baishun Hall, Yun Yijie stood up, apologized to the old lady, and hurriedly chased after Yun Qianmeng!
"Meng'er!" After running all the way, Yun Yijie finally saw the light green figure of Yun Qianmeng. He immediately called out, and at the same time he stopped running and walked slowly towards Yun Qianmeng!
"Miss!" Mu Chun had already discovered that Yun Yijie had bad intentions. Yuan Dong was not with the young lady at the moment, so Mu Chun immediately stood in front of Yun Qianmeng, staring at him with wary eyes!
"Meng'er, you are such an interesting girl!" No matter how dumb Yun Yijie was, he could see Mu Chun's hostility. While speaking to Yun Qianmeng, he frivolously stretched out his right hand, intending to touch Mu Chun's face. Mu Chun was so scared that her face turned pale, but she loyally protected Yun Qianmeng and refused to move away!
At this moment, a slightly cold hand grabbed Mu Chun's arm and gently pulled her to the side. Then they both retreated behind Yun Yijie. Yun Qianmeng kicked out suddenly, causing Yun Yijie, who was unable to stop in time, to fall forward suddenly. He fell flat on his face, and the image of a handsome young man just now was instantly gone!
"Why is my cousin so careless? He falls while walking? If you can't walk steadily, you should go home and learn it again before meeting people!" Yun Ganmeng stood in place, staring coldly at Yun Yiji who got up, and said in a cold voice!
Yun Yijie is so bold that he even dares to touch her people. Does he really think that Mu Chun and I are just two weak women and can let him flirt with us at will?
Yun Yijie hadn't reacted yet, but when he saw Yun Qianmeng pulling Mu Chun's arm, he immediately realized that it must have been Yun Qianmeng who kicked him just now!
But even after being kicked, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he was filled with the desire to conquer. He dusted himself off and approached Yun Qianmeng step by step, saying, "I didn't expect my cousin to have such a fierce side. I really can't let her go!"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Yijie stretched out his arms, intending to hug Yun Qianmeng... Mu Chun was shocked, but Yun Qianmeng was calm and composed. She picked a soft branch from the flowers outside the corridor, pinched Yun Yijie's shoulders lightly and turned him around, then quickly made a move, turned Yun Yijie's arms, and quickly wrapped the branch around Yun Yijie's wrists, tying him up tightly... Yun Yijie never expected Yun Qianmeng to be so aggressive. He struggled to untie the branch, but Yun Qianmeng tied a knot the way boatmen tie ropes. It looked simple but was very difficult to untie. Even though Yun Yijie was sweating profusely, the knot on the branch still showed no signs of loosening!
"Yun Qianmeng, let me go!" Yun Yijie no longer had the mind to tease the beauty at this moment. If his elder brother saw him tied up like this, he would be dead. In a hurry, he called Yun Qianmeng by her full name!
"Cousin, why are you in such a hurry? It's so hot, Meng'er will take you to a good place to help you cool down!"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng pulled the small part of the rope that was hanging down and dragged Yun Yijie forward!
Yun Yijie's hands were tied behind his back at this time, so he could only walk backwards. Because Yun Qianmeng walked very fast, he almost fell to the ground several times. He looked very embarrassed and did not notice where Yun Qianmeng was taking him. However, because this matter was too embarrassing, he did not dare to shout out loud!
Because the weather was hot, all the servants hid in the house to cool off, and no one noticed Yun Yiji's embarrassing situation!
"Cousin, cool down!" Yun Qianmeng stopped and without waiting for Yun Yijie to react, she suddenly stretched out her hands and pushed Yun Yijie into the lotus pond behind her. With a "plop" sound, a huge splash of water arose, and Yun Yijie was immediately wet from head to toe. He opened his mouth to scold Yun Qianmeng, but he swallowed several mouthfuls of pond water, choking him and making his face red!
Yun Qianmeng was too lazy to say another word to such a despicable person. She glanced at Yun Yijie coldly and left the lotus pond with Mu Chun!
After spending quite a bit of time with the old lady, Yun Qianmeng asked the driver to speed up and quickly arrived at Tianfulou. However, as soon as she stepped through the door, she saw Rong Yunhe jogging down from the second floor...
