Chapter 362: Marry like this?
The smile on He Yingying's face was still warm. She had long understood the character of the Gu family and knew that this second aunt could not cause any waves at all, let alone those side branches.
The aunt beside her whispered, "Miss, the second wife just said that the first wife and your two cousins are not available to come back today..."
He Yingying was delighted that they finally talked about this. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? How could it be... Could it be that he was in a hurry to rush to Zui Hong Lou to rescue..."
Halfway through her words, as if realizing she had said something wrong, she immediately changed the subject and said, "...maybe there is something urgent in the army."
The Second Lady looked at this cousin who was used to acting. She did not miss the smile she wanted to hide by lowering her eyes, but she was thinking about her intentions in her heart.
"What is 'Drunk in the Red Mansion'? What is saving people? Yingying, do you know something?" Old Madam Gu was so anxious that she grabbed her hand and asked.
"I... I don't know..." He lowered his head and endured the pain in his hand, but his heart was in great pain.
"Don't be afraid, cousin. No matter how big the matter is, the old lady will make the decision."
The women from the side branches kept echoing excitedly.
"Yes, yes, that...that's a brothel. Was the person who went there Gu Liu? Or Gu Chen?"
Zhang Yingying raised her head hastily. "No, no, no, it wasn't my cousin. My cousins didn't go. I was just passing by and saw...saw..."
Hearing that it wasn't her eldest grandson, the old lady felt relieved. She touched her little face lovingly and persuaded her, "Yingying, don't be afraid. We are all family here. You don't want us to be kept in the dark, right?"
Although Zhang Yingying looked embarrassed, she still told everyone about the Ye brothers and sisters going to the brothel to find the red card in broad daylight after being persuaded by everyone. She also deliberately mentioned that Ye Muan was outside the door and was surrounded and teased by a group of men.
Madam Gu was so angry that she smashed the cup. "What a lie! What a lie! This... this is outrageous!"
Zhang Yingying tightly grasped the handkerchief, secretly delighted in her heart, but explained with an aggrieved look on her face, "Grandma, aunts, please don't misunderstand me. I just saw this. Maybe... they are going somewhere important for something?"
An auntie said with a mocking tone, "What kind of daughter from a good family would go to a place like that? Even if you are not born in the Gu family, you have been raised in our house since you were a child. You are a sensible and good child. Look at the little sisters around you, who can do such a thing? Small families are really lowly!"
Zhang Yingying choked at her words. Was she mocking her family for not being a high-ranking family? These people really looked down on her... Even if she hated them in her heart, she could only bite her lip and lower her head, looking aggrieved.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone, please leave. I'm tired..."
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and left.
The nanny winked at the second lady, who immediately understood and quietly followed her out.
After sending everyone away, the old lady held her hand lovingly and assured her, "Don't worry, Ying girl. Grandma knows that you are a good person. In the future, she will definitely find a good family for you to marry into, and will never let you suffer any grievances..."
Zhang Yingying was sweet-talkerish, and she came into the mansion when she was most sad. Because of her constant clinging and coaxing, the pain of losing her son was alleviated a lot. After all these years of getting along, they truly had a relationship like a grandparent and granddaughter.
"Grandma... Yingying knows that grandma loves me the most!" The admiration in her eyes made Old Madam Qin extremely satisfied, but what she was thinking about in her heart was how to hint that the person she wanted to marry was cousin Gu Chen.
But we can’t rush into it. Once this matter gets out tomorrow, we’ll see how that guy named Ye will gain a foothold in Zhuocheng! !
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
This matter was quickly spread to the Song family and the Zhou family through Zhang Yingying's maid, and then spread to the entire Zhuocheng powerful circle.
Lu Yingxing took the new secret report that Wu Zhong had hurriedly presented to him, glanced at it, and handed it to his wife beside him, "Aunt Ye, this matter can no longer be concealed..."
This made Madam Ye even more uneasy. Prince Zhuo did not answer her question just now, but just whispered to someone to go out.
Shen Yu took it, "Tsk! What a good trick, one thing after another, it seems that you know the personalities of the people around me very well..." After thinking for a while, he said, "Come here, call Gao Yong over."
Lu Yingxing saw that the anger in his wife's eyes and brows had disappeared, and what was left was indifference. It seemed that she was very angry.
He sighed softly, "Ma'am, don't get angry with yourself."
The people on the opposite side were all confused. Thinking that their elders were there, they all gathered at the door. After hearing this, Fu Yunxiu didn't care about anything else and walked forward to pick up the letter.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Xiuyong sympathetically, "Tsk! They set a trap for you, but you jumped into it. That's not enough... You even took the initiative to hook up with your own sister? Brother Ye, are you an undercover sent by the other side?"
Gao Yong, who had just entered the room, was so frightened when he heard this that he immediately knelt down to express his loyalty, "My Lord and Princess, I am not an undercover agent!!!"
Everyone, "…………"
Lu Yingxing pressed his eyebrows. What kind of people are these around him?
Being interrupted by his exaggerated performance, Shen Yu laughed instead, "Why are you kneeling? Get up quickly! If your brain can be used as an undercover agent, then I would rather believe that Ye Muan is the spy..."
"Yes!!!" Gao Yong jumped up excitedly. It was good that no one suspected him. He really liked the atmosphere of Prince Zhuo's Mansion!
"The Yun family, the Huang family, the Qi family, and the Tan family had a secret conversation at night..."
"The Qi family sent someone to follow Ye Xiuyong?"
"The second son of the Huang family arranged for someone to tell him where the martial arts conference was?"
"Gu family's cousin Zhang used the concubines of the Song and Zhou families to spread the news that Ye Xiuyong went into a brothel in broad daylight, and Ye Muan was molested by several hooligans at the door of the brothel!!"
Mrs. Ye was so angry that she almost tore up the letter in her hand. "This is simply... Yu'er, this is a conspiracy, right?"
What else did Mrs. Ye not understand? Her two children had been plotted against, but they had only just arrived in Zhuocheng, so what was the purpose?
"It's not difficult to find out Ye Xiuyong's hobbies and whereabouts, but it's the most difficult to get Ye Muan, who has been keeping a low profile recently, to go out with him without anyone else around him."
Shen Yu walked up, took Mrs. Ye's arm and comforted her, "Aunt Ye, don't worry, their target has been An An from the beginning to the end, and second brother is just a tool..." She smiled brightly, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
Looking at the two people who appeared outside the door, his eyes fell on their holding hands, "That's not right... An An is just a tool... I went through so much trouble to plot against her, knowing that she has a close relationship with me, and still wanted to destroy her as a price, Wu Chen..."
"The noble ladies of your Zhuocheng family... all get married like this? Then I'm afraid our Luocheng's An'an is not very suitable for you..."
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words, but they all kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to say a word.
Ye Muan was about to speak, but Shen Yu stopped him with a look...
Wu Chen squeezed her little hand soothingly, and assured with a gloomy face, "Princess, Madam Ye, please rest assured that this matter will not have any impact on An An. I have just made arrangements. Please ask Master Ye to attend the Wugong Forest Conference on time tomorrow."
Everyone, "???????"
