Chapter 593, Not on the same level
Looking at the Jiang family's carriage driving away, Governor Guo stroked his beard happily.
The Jiang family bullied his daughter, and before he found a chance to retaliate, his nephew helped him vent his anger.
Governor Guo looked at Xiao Yeyang with satisfaction. He then looked at the officials gathered around him, thought for a moment, and said, "Yeyang, although you have good intentions and don't want to damage Miss Jiang's reputation, you could have been more tactful when you spoke."
Mrs. Guo smiled and continued, "Yes, Yeyang, statements like 'you and Miss Jiang are childhood sweethearts' are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. There's no need to explain them to everyone. Your explanation makes it seem like Miss Jiang is trying to implicate you, and that's going to make Mr. and Mrs. Jiang angry."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the ladies and young ladies present could not help but change.
Thinking of the scene where Jiang Wanying fell towards Xiao Yeyang just now, he sneered in his heart. Isn't this just asking for favors?
Seeing the disdain on everyone's faces, Mrs. Guo's smile deepened. The Jiang family had tarnished her daughter's reputation, and now she had turned the tables. She was about to say a few more words, but was stopped by Guo Xueming.
Guo Xueming shook his head at Mrs. Guo.
My mother's words were too blunt. Although the Jiang family was seriously injured, cousin Ye Yang was also implicated.
Mrs. Guo paused, looked up at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that he was not looking at them, she thought for a moment and gave Governor Guo a look.
Governor Guo received a signal from Madam Guo, looked at his graceful daughter, then at his elegant nephew, pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "Yeyang, I can't leave here. Your aunt and cousin were also frightened today. Please help your uncle take them home."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Governor Guo. Not wanting to offend his uncle in front of everyone, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but please wait a moment, uncle. I'll go say hello to Uncle Yan and the others."
Governor Guo knew that his nephew had a good relationship with the Yan family. Since everyone had been frightened today, he should go and say hello. He smiled and nodded, "Then go quickly."
Guo Xueming was happy to see that Xiao Yeyang agreed to send them back, but when she saw him walking quickly towards the Yan family, her eyes couldn't help but follow him.
Mrs. Guo patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "Don't look anymore. Let's get in the carriage and wait."
Guo Xueming nodded.
Soon, the two of them got on the carriage.
After getting in the car, Mrs. Guo saw Guo Xueming lift a corner of the car curtain. She followed her line of sight and saw Xiao Yeyang talking to his family. She immediately smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much about this kind of thing."
Guo Xueming was stunned and quickly lowered the curtain: "What did mother say?"
Mrs. Guo glanced at her daughter with a smile: "You are my daughter, how could I not know what you are worried about."
Guo Xueming looked embarrassed: "Mom, I'm not worried about anything."
Madam Guo smiled and said seriously, "Ye Yang is close to the Yan family because he doesn't have many relatives in Zhongzhou, so he has to make a few good friends so that he won't be too lonely. Now that we are here, and your father has been kind to him since he was a child, he will be close to us even if it's just for your father's sake."
As he spoke, he took Guo Xueming's hand.
"People's feelings need to be developed through getting along with each other. In the future, I will ask your father to invite Ye Yang to our house more often. Then you can get to know him more. Once you get to know each other, he won't be able to come to our house soon enough, so why would he bother with the Yan family?"
Guo Xueming was silent for a moment: "My daughter thinks that Cousin Yeyang seems to be paying attention to the eldest daughter of the Yan family. Earlier, when we were upstairs in Guankou Tower, I accidentally saw Cousin Yeyang always looking at the eldest daughter of the Yan family."
Mrs. Guo laughed and nodded Guo Xueming's forehead: "You said you weren't worried. If you didn't care about Ye Yang, would you notice this?"
As he spoke, his expression turned serious.
"Judging from what happened today, Ye Yang is indeed a good person. We can carefully consider your grandfather's suggestion, but we still need to observe Ye Yang carefully. We can only know whether he is a mule or a horse after a careful observation."
"As for the eldest daughter of the Yan family you mentioned, she's the daughter of a fourth-rank official and isn't even qualified to compete with you. Just put your mind at ease."
Guo Xueming frowned: "But."
Mrs. Guo interrupted her, "No, but. A young man of seventeen or eighteen is full of vigor and vitality, so it's understandable that he might be a little bit lustrous."
"In a family like ours, every man has three wives and four concubines. You are the mistress of the house, so don't worry about such trivial matters. Concubines are just playthings, not worth your worry."
"The only thing you need to do is to cultivate your relationship with Ye Yang and let him know how good you are and how irreplaceable you are. Don't do things like you did before in Guankou Tower to embarrass Miss Yan and Miss Dong."
Guo Xueming's expression froze, and he asked uncomfortably, "Did mother see it?"
Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Xueming and said, "If you really think Ye Yang is a good person, don't do anything that would hurt the people or things he cares about or values. If you really have to do it, don't let him know."
"Think about it yourself. Ye Yang is on good terms with the Yan family. No matter what he thinks of the eldest daughter of the Yan family, if you make things difficult for her, will Ye Yang still have a good impression of you after he finds out?"
As he spoke, he touched Guo Xueming's bun.
"My daughter is the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain, and the eldest daughter of the Yan family is just a weed at the foot of the mountain. They are on different levels. There is really no need for you to take action yourself, understand?"
Guo Xueming thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded.
On the other side, Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wenxiu and others were talking, but their eyes kept glancing towards the carriage where Daohua was sitting. Seeing that the curtain was closed, they couldn't help but frown.
After a while, Yan Zhigao saw Governor Guo looking over here, and said to Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "We have brought guards here, so there is no need to worry, young prince. You can go and do your own thing."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "We're all going back to Ningmen Mansion. Let's go together." He patted Yan Wenkai on the shoulder and said, "I'll lead the way, you guys hurry up and follow."
After saying that, he glanced at the carriage where Daohua was again, then turned and walked towards the Guo family's carriage.
Inside the carriage, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu were both looking at the rice flowers silently.
Daohua was speechless and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you just staring at me without saying anything?"
Dong Yuanyao asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
Daohua rolled her eyes in annoyance: "What can happen to me?"
Dong Yuanyao was silent for a moment and looked at Su Shiyu.
Su Shiyu pondered for a moment: "Governor Guo is the young prince's uncle. If you don't give face to the monk, you should give face to the Buddha. The young prince will definitely give him some face."
Daohua nodded: "Of course."
Seeing Daohua's calm face, Su Shiyu didn't know what to say.
At this time, the carriage started.
Daohua reached out and lifted the curtain, looking forward. She saw Xiao Yeyang riding in front of the Guo family carriage. She was silent for a while, then lowered the curtain: "Actually, it's good to see how he gets along with other girls."
Hearing this, Su Shiyu and Dong Yuanyao glanced at each other quickly, and then both couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Su Shiyu suddenly remembered that a lady had secretly handed a purse to Yan Wenkai on the bridge. Thinking of how he avoided the girl as if avoiding a wild beast, and then turned around and chased her to ask for the purse, Su Shiyu couldn't help but smile.
Yes, if she hadn't encountered him this time, how would she know that he treated her differently?
"I only want your wallet, I don't want anyone else's."
Thinking back to Yan Wenkai's shameless words, the smile on Su Shiyu's face deepened.
