Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 295 Mind

The dense plum trees dropped fine petals, spread evenly on the ground, Ye Lingwu slowly lowered her eyes, turned her back to the rockery, and dared not look at the men and women under the plum trees over there.

After a while, Ye Lingwu heard Shen Zhan say: "Princess Six is ​​worrying too much, and it has nothing to do with others. I don't need to bother the Empress and Your Majesty to make decisions about my marriage. Even if I marry in the future, it will all be up to my will."

These words were decisive, the sixth princess was so ashamed and angry, she lifted her skirt and ran away.

Shen Zhan saw her figure drifting away, turned to look at the rockery barrier: "Aren't you coming out yet?"

There was no movement, and after a long while, I saw the purple-clothed figure limping out with one hand on his waist and the other on the rockery.

Shen Zhan frowned, his whole body became cold for no reason, and an inexplicable fire nestled in his heart, "Madam Jiang doesn't need to be so anxious if you want to avoid suspicion."

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips and did not speak, and walked straight to the corridor to leave.

There were laughter and laughter in the Begonia Zhaihua Hall.

Seeing the excitement everyone was talking about, the table was even more full of food.

Red bean sesame rice cake, jujube paste yam cake, halva, sesame candy, candied fruit, sweet soup.

Ye Lingwu supported her waist and sat down silently, then looked at Shen Pan'er who was eating lychees by herself, and said, "Third Miss, in a few days for the Lantern Festival, let's go to Huamanlou to watch the fireworks?"

Shen Pan'er turned her head and glanced at her lightly, and said, "Ms. Jiang, why did you suddenly invite me to watch the fireworks? Doesn't your husband accompany you?"

The corners of Ye Lingwu's mouth stiffened for a moment, and she continued to smile: "I saw that you are not in a good mood recently, so I wanted to invite you to go together. There is a pastry shop there. Don't the third girls like to eat chestnut cakes? That shop The chestnut cake is delicious."

Shen Pan'er's complexion was gloomy, and she said in a muffled voice, "It's hard for you to be willing to befriend me."

As she said that, she raised her eyes to look at her boss: "Unlike mother and grandmother, I wish I were not a daughter."

Ye Lingwu followed her gaze and looked up. Mrs. Shen was leaning forward and back laughing while hugging Xiao Yan'er, Mrs. Zhao was also happy from ear to ear, Qin Mingyu was holding Shen Yueer's hand and chatting and laughing happily.

In the eyes of others, it is a joy, but in Shen Pan'er's eyes, you don't need to think too much about how ironic it is.

Shen Pan'er looked lonely, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

Ye Lingwu suddenly saw that her hand in the cuff had been clenched into a fist, and her knuckles were slightly white.

Her heart tightened, and she said: "Third Miss, don't worry, there is no family relationship that is separated in the world, you just go back to Ningbei Hou's Mansion and walk around more."

When these words came out of Ye Lingwu's mouth, she felt that it was weird and very fake. There are too many estranged family relationships in this world.

"Miss Jiang, you don't need to comfort me. I still remember when you first entered the capital and told me that your life in Yuzhou was difficult. If there were no barriers in the world, my grandmother would not have taken you to the capital."

"..." Ye Lingwu took a few sips of the sweet soup on the desk in front of her, hiding the unnatural embarrassment on her face.

Not long after, there was a sound of curtains, and everyone followed the sound, and saw Cheng Guyuan, who was wearing a coiled dragon bun and wearing a pair of golden long jackets, stepped into the room, supported by two servants.

Her pace was not as carefree and unrestrained as before, maybe it was because of her pregnancy, after becoming a pro, she became much more graceful and steady.

Ye Lingwu stared at her for a while, and Shen Pan'er's voice came from next to her ear: "Even sister Gu Yuan is nearly nine months pregnant, why have you and Grand Master Jiang remained silent?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and immediately straightened her face: "We are not in a hurry, we want to wait a little longer."

Shen Pan'er was suspicious, and said, "You...have something to hide?"

"Of course not." Ye Lingwu answered neatly.

Shen Pan'er looked indifferent.

At this time, Cheng Guyuan came late and "pleaded guilty" to the elders, then turned to walk towards the two of them and said, "Sister Pan'er, sister Lingwu, long time no see."

Shen Pan'er rarely showed a smile: "Why didn't the second sister-in-law rest in the house, maybe it would be uncomfortable to walk around with such a big belly?"

Cheng Guyuan patted her stomach lightly, and with the help of the servant girl, she took a seat on the seat next to the two, took a breath, and replied, "It's not uncomfortable, it's rare for you to come back, how can I stay in the room and see no one?"

Ye Lingwu's smile deepened: "Sister Yuan looks so big, I think the second son has taken good care of you."

Cheng Guyuan looked shy and said in a low voice, "The doctor said I'm twins."

Ye Lingwu and Shen Pan'er are both a child, and they have their own ideas in their hearts.

One just felt that she was in a difficult situation, and everyone around her was giving birth, but she was the only one who didn't move; the other was envious, because Pei Huai didn't go back to the hospital often after she conceived, and her life was dull, with no hope at all.

"After the Shangyuan Festival, I want to go to Ling'an Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Why don't the two younger sisters go?" Cheng Guyuan smiled softly.

Ye Lingwu didn't have any objections, but Shen Pan'er looked sad, as if she was very reluctant.

Seeing this, Cheng Guyuan stretched out her hand to cover Shen Pan'er's cold hand, and said, "Sister Pan'er doesn't go out of the house often, and she doesn't like to go home. The second sister-in-law has a lot to say to you. From the capital to Ling'an Temple It's a two-day journey, how about we sisters talk slowly on the way?"

Shen Pan'er forced a smile: "Okay."

After the meal, all the women held small stoves, chatting and laughing and went to the outer courtyard.

The men's table just left, and the grown-ups attending the banquet were chatting in twos and threes, waiting for their wives to come out of the inner house.

Ye Lingwu was holding the small white jade stove given by Nanny Xuan, and when she limped out of Haitang Zhai after exchanging greetings, it was already very late. After passing through the hanging flower gate, as soon as she arrived at the hall of the outer courtyard, she saw many people standing in the courtyard .

The moonlight was dim, and several civil servants chatted one after another, and accompanied them to the outside of the mansion. As soon as they left, the courtyard became quiet for a moment. I saw Shen Zhan and Jiang Yuan standing on the porch, clearly unable to leave. Far away, the two of them didn't communicate at all.

Standing on the steps, Shen Ci was chatting happily with Rong Yu shoulder to shoulder, without even taking a look at his wife next to him, Cheng Guyuan rolled her eyes secretly in anger, and seemed to have ruthlessly grabbed his face, Shen Ci just reacted.

Shen Pan'er and Shen Yue'er were talking, neither salty nor indifferent, they chatted for a few words and then went to tease Xiao Yan'er in the nanny's arms.

When Xiao Yan'er saw this aunt, she showed her two small front teeth happily, and the two pairs of tassels on the hairpin on the double bun made a tinkling sound.

Ye Lingwu frowned.

In a trance, it seems to go back to the night when I first entered the capital a few years ago, the sky was full of fireworks, and the whole courtyard was noisy.

Thinking wildly, Ye Lingwu approached slowly, and consciously stood beside Jiang Yuan. Seeing her walking in a strange posture, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

"No...no, I just accidentally fell."

Hearing the sound, Shen Zhan just glanced at it, then turned and left the outer courtyard.
