Chapter 227 Girlfriends Meet
The next morning, Li Runrun handed the note to Ye Qiaoqiao.
Her carriage was parked at the back door, unobtrusive.
When Ye Qiaoqiao received the post, she didn't take it seriously. She put it aside without even reading it and was busy with the things at hand.
She was reminded by the maid only after she had finished her work.
"Yes, I forgot. Let me see it."
The maid handed over the note.
Ye Qiaoqiao opened it and said, "Who sent the invitation? Is it for a wedding or funeral?"
If it was a small banquet at the back house, they wouldn't send a separate invitation so solemnly.
Ye Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes to read the content of the post, muttering, "I haven't heard of anyone..."
Then she froze, as if she couldn't believe it, and read the post again.
It was as if she couldn't read anymore.
When the maid saw her like this, she hurried over to take a look, but Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly closed the note.
He stood up in a panic: "Where is the person who delivered the post? Where is he?"
Since marrying Gu Yuanqing, Gu Yuanqing has risen in status as Xiao Jing became emperor.
Ye Qiaoqiao is a very proper and well-mannered lady in the harem, and rarely makes such a fuss.
I am really too happy today.
Ye Qiaoqiao practically jogged.
Then I remembered that I had run in the wrong direction, to the back door.
She turned around in a hurry, but bumped into the arms of Gu Yuanqing who had just come out of court.
Gu Yuanqing supported her, feeling a little amused, and was hurt by her collision, so he rubbed his ribs.
"Why are you so anxious? What happened? Tell your husband and he will help you fix it."
Ye Qiaoqiao pushed him away: "Get out of the way."
Without stopping for a moment, he ran towards the back door.
Gu Yuanqing originally let her go.
But he stood there for a while.
Gu Yuanqing saw that although Ye Qiaoqiao was anxious, her happiness did not seem fake.
I also thought of Governor Ye’s return to Beijing.
Gu Yuanqing understood instantly that it was time for Li Runrun to come and see him.
It has been a long time since I last saw this old friend who had been away for four years. Gu Yuanqing chuckled and followed Ye Qiaoqiao.
Ye Qiaoqiao ran out of the back door without caring about her image. When she saw the carriage, she got in without anyone's help.
Kneeling in the carriage, Ye Qiaoqiao looked at Li Runrun who was reading a book.
Li Ruanruan chuckled and put down the book in her hand: "Madam is so grand now, you made me wait so long."
Before Ye Qiaoqiao could say anything, tears started falling.
But he didn't even bother to wipe away his tears, and threw himself into Li Ruanruan's arms, hugging her tightly.
It was as if she was afraid that if she wasn't strong enough, Li Ruanruan would disappear like she had in countless dreams.
Ye Qiaoqiao held the live pear softly in her arms, but it still couldn't ease the longing and heartache she had felt for her friend over the years.
Ye Qiaoqiao burst into tears as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Am I dreaming? You are really still alive."
Li Runrun's eyes turned red as she listened to Ye Qiaoqiao's heartfelt sobbing.
She hugged Ye Qiaoqiao back and said, "She's still alive. She's really still alive. She wasn't dead back then."
Ye Qiaoqiao heard Li Runrun say this, but she did not mean to blame or question her. She knew very well that Li Runrun must have had her own difficulties in the past.
Being able to come back alive and see her again was something Ye Qiaoqiao never dared to dream of.
She reached out and touched Li Ruanruan's soft face, her eyes full of heartache for her. She wanted to speak but choked up first, and finally hugged her again with tears in her eyes.
She cried and asked, "Have you had a good life these years? You must have suffered a lot of grievances and pain when you made that choice."
Li Runrun couldn't hold back her tears, and she cried one by one. She hugged Ye Qiaoqiao and replied, "I've lived a good life these past few years. I'm free and happy. It's exactly what I wanted. As for the grievances and sufferings of the past, they're all in the past."
Li Ruanruan tucked the loose hair behind Ye Qiaoqiao's ear and touched her face before asking, "Have you been doing well these years? Do you have a good relationship with Master Gu? Does he bully you?"
"I'm doing well. Gu Yuanqing treats me well. Although we have had arguments, I never take them to heart. I'm the only one in his backyard. We have a good relationship and even have a son. He doesn't want to bully me, and he doesn't dare to. Thanks to you, big brother also takes good care of me."
Just as the two sisters were crying their hearts out, the curtain of the carriage was lifted and Gu Yuanqing poked his head in: "Let's go to your house and talk."
Ye Qiaoqiao quickly wiped the tears from her face before saying, "Yes, yes, come to my house."
Ye Qiaoqiao took Li Ruanruan out of the car and explained to her, "I didn't mean to give you the cold shoulder. I just didn't think it was you. When I saw the post, I was looking at my account book and didn't take it seriously, so I just put it aside."
Ye Qiaoqiao leaned on Li Ruanruan's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child again, just like she used to. "Good Ruanruan, don't be angry with me. I'll give you a badge. Next time you come to see me, you don't need to ask for permission, just come in directly."
"We don't care about these things. If you're busy, I'll wait for you. If I were to make a fuss like you said, I'd have to apologize to you even more."
"Stop it now."
Ye Qiaoqiao led Li Ruanruan to the main hall to sit down, and asked someone to bring her son who had just learned to walk.
Li Runrun took a look and found that the child was chubby and very cute.
I couldn't help but hug him and pinch his little face.
The child was in Liruanruan's arms, grinning and clapping his hands, looking very happy.
Ye Qiaoqiao scolded: "Just like his father, he likes looking at beautiful women. He has been a playboy since he was a child."
Gu Yuanqing immediately said, "Madam, where did you get that statement from? You're really wronging me."
Ye Qiaoqiao snorted at Gu Yuanqing before saying, "Let's just have some private conversations. You can go play with your son."
Gu Yuanqing actually wanted to chat with Li Runrun, but he felt that they really wanted to talk about private matters, the kind that he wouldn't hear.
Anyway, Li Ruanruan is back, so there will be opportunities to chat or ask questions.
Gu Yuanqing loved Ye Qiaoqiao after all, so he followed her instructions and took his son out to play.
Ye Qiaoqiao then grabbed Li Ruanruan's hand and said, "Tell me quickly, what happened back then, and what's going on now."
When the two sisters started chatting, they had so many topics to talk about. Although they had been separated for four years, they didn't seem unfamiliar with each other at all.
Once we started chatting, we ended up chatting for a whole day.
Before we felt we had talked enough, it was already dark.
Li Runrun knows a lot about the capital and secret gossips, for example, Ye Shuang has now married Xiao Jing and become a concubine, but is not favored.
Ye Qiaoqiao also knew that during the four years that Li Runrun was away, she was shocked to learn that she had given birth to a pair of children for Ye Yunchu.
Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to let Li Runrun stay asleep, but she knew that she had just settled down and was busy both inside and outside the house.
In addition, the child is still young and needs his mother to accompany him when he goes to an unfamiliar place.
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't dare to keep her, but instead sent two of the powerful maids around her to serve Li Runrun.
Liruanruan feels warm in the heart.
"If you have time tomorrow, come and play at my place."
"I will definitely go. You are busy but I am free. I will go to accompany you every day."
"Then I'm afraid Master Gu will be angry."
"Who cares? He's not that angry."
The two of them smiled and said goodbye to Li Runrun. Ye Qiaoqiao was still reluctant to leave.
Gu Yuanqing appeared out of nowhere, stood behind her, and took her hand and shook it gently: "Stop looking at me. You have ignored me for a whole day. Look at me straight in the eye."
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at him: "What's so good about you?"
She still went to see the carriage in which Li Runrun left.
He walked back until he could no longer see it.
Gu Yuanqing took the lantern from the maid to light the way: "I have something nice to see. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you tonight."
Ye Qiaoqiao pinched him and said, "You have no shame."
Gu Yuanqing smiled and hugged her waist.
The maids and servants following behind them were no longer surprised, because they had a really good relationship as a couple and were still so affectionate after so many years of marriage.
The fragrant garden of the Marquis' Mansion.
Xu Wan had made careful preparations early on, and sure enough, Ye Yunchu arrived for the appointment at night.
She nervously touched the gorgeous red hairpin on her head, and then greeted him with a charming look.
