Lian Zhou quickly raised his eyes and glanced at his master.
Is this the first time that the master has been called that?
That Mr. Gao is really not an ordinary person who can talk. He blocked his own way with just one sentence.
…
During the dinner, because of Gao's words, everyone looked at Ye Chutang with more complicated eyes.
The fiery hearts of the young men sitting in the back row also cooled down a lot in an instant.
Han Yao secretly shook his head: "What a pity! I originally thought that even if she was an orphan, she would at least have the support of her second uncle, a young minister from Dali Temple. With her appearance, she would have a chance of marrying into a high family. But. Who would have thought she would... Who would be willing to marry such a woman?"
The people next to her also echoed: "Who says it's not the case? There are many noble girls in the capital, but no matter how beautiful she is, who knows what she has been through in the past three years when she has been living abroad?"
"If you want me to say, it is absolutely impossible to marry someone home and become a wife. However, it is really rare to have such a beautiful appearance and temperament. It would be good to take her into the house as a concubine..."
Several people looked at each other and smiled ambiguously.
These young men from aristocratic families sat far away and spoke in low voices, so they dared to be so presumptuous.
Han Yao was distracted for a moment, patted Ye Mingze, and asked quietly: "Brother Mingze, what do you think?"
Ye Mingze was supposed to be entertaining guests in the front, but these days Ye Heng was very dissatisfied with his behavior of staying out overnight and deliberately ignored him.
Ye Mingze was also angry and simply sat with a few friends.
Hearing Han Yao's words, he sneered: "If you don't dislike it, it's up to you."
Han Yao's eyes lit up.
When he first learned that Ye Chutang was Ye Mingze's cousin, he was secretly upset that he shouldn't have been rude to her face. Unexpectedly, Ye Mingze went to Chunfeng Tower that night and got very drunk.
After asking, I found out that he actually hated this cousin very much.
Han Yao and the others naturally relaxed and even dared to tease Ye Mingze like this in front of him.
He glanced at Ye Chutang again, his eyes scanning over that gentle and graceful face, and a touch of eagerness arose in his heart.
…
Of course, Ye Chutang could tell that Gao's words were troubling her.
For these noble ladies, reputation is the most important thing. Anyone who is spoken to like this will probably become angry.
Gao was determined not to let her have an easy time.
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, I have worked hard for you in the past few years."
Ye Chutang was slightly startled.
Only they knew about her connection with Xu Fengchi. For the sake of convenience, even Xu Rongqing didn't know about it.
The relationship between the two families is very good, and the children have known each other since childhood. In my memory, Xu Rongqing and my brother are the same age. Compared with the free and unruly brother, Xu Rongqing has a gentle and gentle temperament.
This was actually the first time she had seen him.
His expression was calm, but the flash of distress in his eyes could not be faked, and he truly felt that she was suffering hard.
Ye Chutang's lips curved into a slight smile: "Fortunately, with Ayan Afeng and Xiaowu accompanying me, no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it."
There was silence.
Everyone thought that she would keep secret about the embarrassment of the past three years, so as not to affect her future marriage, but they didn't expect that she would be so open and honest.
From beginning to end, she looked calm and collected, calm and reserved, but it seemed that they were too careless...
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mrs. Gao immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Zhang, how about you check on Xiao Wu now?"
Xiao Wu hid behind Ye Chutang, his mouth slightly pursed, his big black grape-like eyes filled with alienation from strangers.
——A sister said she is not sick, why do she still need to see a doctor?
Ye Chutang patted Xiao Wu's head comfortingly: "Second Aunt, Xiao Wu is afraid of life, so let's forget it."
But Mrs. Gao refused, "It's hard for Dr. Zhang to come here. I missed it today. I don't know how long I have to wait. Xiao Wu, come and give Dr. Zhang a look. It'll be quick!"
Xiaowu naturally wouldn't listen to her and grabbed Ye Chutang's clothes and refused to let go.
Mrs. Gao couldn't help but walked over and stretched out her hand to pull her: "If you are obedient, come here -"
When she was about to touch Xiao Wu, a slender white hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Gao was startled, and then realized that it was Ye Chutang who had stopped her.
She subconsciously wanted to break away, but found that she couldn't move at all. The seemingly weak and boneless hand found it difficult to break free.
Gao was anxious: "Chu Tang, what are you doing? Xiaowu is my niece, and I am doing this for her own good!"
The corners of Ye Chutang's mouth curved, but his dark eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Thank you Aunt Second for your kindness, but Xiaowu doesn't like it."
Gao Shi shuddered inexplicably.
Ye Chutang had already let go of his hand.
Losing face in front of everyone, Mrs. Gao secretly gritted her teeth: "What does she know as a child? If she delays, she will grow up in the future——"
Before he finished speaking, a boy hurried over to report: "Master! The Crown Prince Dingbei is here!"
The whole place fell silent, and everyone was shocked.
After returning to Beijing, that person has been recuperating in the mansion and refused all invitations. Why did he come to Ye Mansion today?
Is Ye Heng so proud? ?
Ye Heng was also surprised and happy, and stood up suddenly: "Seriously? Please come!"
Although he sent an invitation to Dingbei Hou Mansion, he never thought that he would actually come!
Ye Chutang took in everyone's reaction and raised his eyebrows slightly.
She had also heard about the prince of Dingbeihou. She heard that he was the only son of Dingbeihou and had a distinguished status.
A few years ago, he went north with Marquis Dingbei, and he just returned to Beijing recently.
Dingbeihou holds a high and powerful position, and this prince is naturally a person that countless people want to cling to.
As he thought, a tall and tall figure came into view.
Seeing that Qingjun's stunning face, Ye Chutang's eyelids twitched slightly, and there was only one thought in his mind.
——Had I known this, I should have given him dozens more injections.
Shen Yanchuan felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine.
But this emotion quickly dissipated because Ye Heng was already walking quickly.
"The Crown Prince is coming here, but I am sorry to hear you come from afar! I hope the Crown Prince will forgive you!"
Ye Shixian looked at that figure, lost her mind for a moment, and murmured softly.
"This is... the Crown Prince Dingbeihou?"
She had heard of this man before, and when several young ladies from aristocratic families mentioned him, their faces were full of admiration.
She didn't take it seriously at that time, and it wasn't until she met them now that she realized why they reacted that way.
There are many young talents in this capital, but in real terms, Prince Dingbei is the undisputed number one.
The young master is like jade, pure and noble.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Yanchuan, with different thoughts.
However, the next moment, they saw Shen Yanchuan curling his lips in a certain direction, smiling and waving.
"Xiaowu, come here."
A small figure immediately ran towards him.
Ye Chutang: "...???"
