Chapter 54 Xiaowu, come here
Lian Zhou quickly raised his eyes and glanced at his master.
Is this the first time that the master has been addressed like this?
That Gao is really good at talking. With just one sentence, she blocked her own way.
…
During the banquet, everyone looked at Ye Chutang with more complicated expressions because of Gao's words.
The originally passionate hearts of the young gentlemen sitting in the back row also cooled down a lot in an instant.
Han Yao secretly shook his head: "What a pity! Originally I thought that even if she was an orphan, at least she had the support of her second uncle who was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Plus, with her beauty, she would have a chance to marry into a rich family. But who knew that she would... Which family would be willing to marry a girl like this?"
The people around him also echoed: "Who said it wasn't? There are so many noble ladies in the capital. No matter how beautiful she is, she has been living outside for the past three years. Who knows what she has been through?"
"If you ask me, marrying her home as your principal wife is absolutely impossible. However, her beauty and temperament are rare. Taking her in as a concubine would be a good idea..."
Several people looked at each other and smiled ambiguously.
These young masters from aristocratic families sat far away and spoke in low voices, which is why they dared to be so presumptuous.
Han Yao was a little moved. He patted Ye Mingze on the shoulder and asked quietly, "Brother Mingze, what do you think?"
Ye Mingze was supposed to entertain the guests in the front, but Ye Heng was very dissatisfied with his behavior of staying overnight outside in the past few days and deliberately ignored him.
Ye Mingze was also angry, so he just sat down with a few friends.
Hearing Han Yao's words, he sneered: "If you don't mind, it's up to you."
Han Yao's eyes lit up.
When he first found out that Ye Chutang was Ye Mingze's cousin, he secretly felt annoyed that he shouldn't have spoken rudely to her in person. But unexpectedly, Ye Mingze went to Chunfeng Tower that night and got drunk.
Upon asking, I found out that he actually hated this cousin very much.
Han Yao and the others naturally relaxed and even dared to make fun of Ye Mingze in front of him.
He glanced at Ye Chutang again, his eyes scanning that gentle and graceful face, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.
…
Of course Ye Chutang could tell that Gao's words were meant to taunt her.
For these noble ladies, reputation is the most important thing. Anyone who hears such words would probably be annoyed.
Gao was determined not to let her have an easy life.
How could Xu Rongqing not notice the reactions of the people around him? Looking at Ye Chutang standing there quietly, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and he couldn't help but said, "Sister Chutang, you have worked hard these years."
Ye Chutang was slightly stunned.
Only she and Xu Fengchi knew about their relationship. For convenience, even Xu Rongqing was not aware of it.
The two families had a very good relationship, and the children had known each other since childhood. As far as I could remember, Xu Rongqing was the same age as my brother. Compared with his free and unrestrained brother, Xu Rongqing was kind and gentle.
This was actually the first time she met him.
His expression was calm, but the flash of heartache in his eyes was real. He truly felt that she was working hard.
Ye Chutang smiled lightly, "Fortunately, I have Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu by my side. It's worth it no matter how hard it is."
There was silence in the field.
Everyone thought that she would be very secretive about the embarrassing situation of the past three years so as not to affect her future marriage, but they didn't expect her to be so open about it.
From beginning to end, she looked calm and composed, and she was calm and proud, which made them seem too fussy...
Gao saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately changed the subject: "Doctor Zhang, how about you help Xiaowu now?"
Xiaowu hid behind Ye Chutang, pursed her lips slightly, and her big eyes like black grapes showed a sense of alienation towards strangers.
——Sister said she is not sick, why does she need to see a doctor?
Ye Chutang patted Xiaowu's head soothingly: "Second Aunt, Xiaowu is shy, why don't you just forget it."
Gao refused. "It's not easy for Doctor Zhang to come here. If you miss it today, I don't know how long you will have to wait. Xiaowu, come and let Doctor Zhang take a look. It will be quick!"
Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't listen to her and grabbed the corner of Ye Chutang's clothes and refused to let go.
Gao couldn't help but walked over and stretched out her hand to pull her: "If you listen to me, come here——"
When she was about to touch Xiaowu, a slender white hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Gao was startled, and then she realized that it was Ye Chutang who stopped her.
She subconsciously tried to break free, but found that she couldn't move at all. That seemingly soft and boneless hand was actually difficult to break free from.
Gao was anxious: "Chu Tang, what are you doing? Xiao Wu is my niece, I am doing this for her own good!"
Ye Chutang's lips curved, but his dark eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Thank you for your kindness, Second Aunt, but Xiaowu doesn't like it."
Gao shuddered for no apparent reason.
Ye Chutang had already let go of his hand.
Having lost face in front of everyone, Gao secretly gritted her teeth and said, "What does a little girl like her know? If she is delayed, when she grows up——"
Before he could finish his words, a servant came running over to report: "Master! The son of Dingbei Marquis is here!"
The whole place fell silent, everyone was shocked.
After returning to Beijing, that person had been using the excuse of recuperating at home and rejected all invitations. How come he came to the Ye Mansion today?
Is Ye Heng so proud? ?
Ye Heng was also surprised and delighted, and stood up suddenly: "Really? Come in!"
Although he sent an invitation to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, he never thought that the person would actually come!
Ye Chutang took in everyone's reactions and raised his eyebrows slightly.
She had also heard of the prince of Marquis Dingbei. She heard that he was the only son of Marquis Dingbei and had a noble status.
He followed Marquis Dingbei to the north a few years ago and just returned to Beijing recently.
Marquis Dingbei is in a high position of power, so naturally, this prince is someone that countless people want to curry favor with.
As my mind raced, a tall and straight figure came into view.
The moment he saw that handsome face clearly, Ye Chutang's eyelids twitched slightly, and there was only one thought in his mind.
——If I had known this would happen, I should have given him dozens more shots.
Chen Yanchuan inexplicably felt a chill running up his spine.
But this emotion quickly dissipated because Ye Heng was already walking towards him quickly.
"Your Highness, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person! I hope you will forgive me!"
Ye Shixian looked at the figure, lost in thought for a moment, and murmured softly.
"This is... the prince of Dingbei?"
She had heard of this person before. When several young ladies from aristocratic families mentioned him, their faces were full of admiration.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, but only after seeing them now did she understand why they reacted that way.
There are many young talents in the capital, but when it comes down to it, the son of Marquis Dingbei is undoubtedly the number one.
The young man is as beautiful as jade, pure and noble and unparalleled.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Yanchuan, with different thoughts in their minds.
However, the next moment, they saw Shen Yanchuan smiling in a certain direction and waving.
"Xiaowu, come here."
A small figure immediately ran towards him.
Ye Chutang: “……???”
Ye Chutang: Who in my family understands? My home has been robbed again.
