Chapter 544: Helan Mansion (Part 2)
He Lanyan's boudoir was quite different from her daughter's boudoir in Zhongyuan. There was almost no red and pink rouge, but there were many killing weapons hanging on the walls. Although the interior furnishings were valuable, they were extremely simple.
The group entered the room, He Lanyan sat on the bed, and Ye Jing'er also found a chair to sit on. One of them looked up at the sky, the other looked sideways at the window, both of them were silent. Beside the door, Sulawula and the two people looked a little frightened. They were standing there with their heads lowered. Wu Xinlian, who followed in with excitement at first, also noticed the abnormality in the atmosphere. Look at this, look at that, the smile on her face slowly I was replaced by shock. For a moment, I just felt at a loss. I couldn't walk or stand. My whole body seemed to be covered with caterpillars, and my whole body was uncomfortable.
After a moment, He Lanyan sighed, "Miss Wu, go to the front hall instead. You are the chief drinker, but you supervise them to prevent them from drinking and cheating."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xinlian immediately felt as if she was a great admirer. She immediately bowed to the two of them and retreated as fast as she could.
"Suraula, you guys go down too!" He Lanyan looked at her two personal maids.
Suraula glanced at He Lanyan worriedly, exited the door silently, and closed the door gently.
The room fell silent again.
Not much time passed in the room, but for the two people in the room, it seemed like a long time had passed.
"Sister Helan, don't you want to tell me something?" Ye Jing'er asked lightly.
He Lanyan's face turned a little pale, "Madam, are you here to punish me?"
"What crime is Miss Helan guilty of? Do you need me to come and investigate?"
He Lanyan's eyebrows were lowered, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pale face. She was obviously a little annoyed by Ye Jing'er. She was a person who dared to love and hate, and her temper was extremely fierce. After being treated like this by Ye Jing'er, Forced, but it aroused the pride in the chest. He smiled lightly at the moment and said, "Yes, what's my fault? He Lanyan asked herself that she acted openly and aboveboard, and she didn't feel sorry for Madam in the slightest. If Madam came here because of my admiration for Gao Yuan, I would be willing to discuss this matter with Madam. ”
Ye Jing'er turned her head and looked at He Lanyan, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and sighed in her heart. Not only was this girl extremely gorgeous, but she was also very heroic. Compared with a Central Plains woman like herself, she has a different charm.
"Appreciate further details!"
He Lanyan stood up, walked to Ye Jing'er's side, found a stool to sit on, looked up at the snowflakes flying leisurely outside the window, her eyes suddenly became confused,
"I met Gao Yuan a few years ago. At that time, he was just a small soldier."
He Lanyan's tone was calm, and she explained the entanglement between her and Gao Yuan. As time went by, she was sometimes confused. Sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's affectionate, and in the end, it's hard to control yourself. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Listening to He Lanyan's emotional changes, Ye Jing'er, who was calm at first, was moved. This kind of deep love cannot be obtained. She had also experienced the feeling of being so close before her eyes but yet so far away, but in the end she got her wish. When she looked at He Lanyan, she seemed to see herself two years ago.
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to He Lanyan, and said softly: "Wipe it!"
Taking the handkerchief, He Lanyan gently wiped away the tears on her face, "Mrs. Gao, this is the dispute between me and Gao Yuan. Yes, I love him deeply, but there is nothing clear between us. I am innocent, I have never done anything sorry for you, and he has never promised me. Speaking of it, it is just my wishful thinking and unrequited love for him. If you are angry, there is nothing I can do. "
Ye Jing'er sighed: "Sister Helan, I'm afraid that Brother Gao is not without affection for you. If he really has no interest in you, he should have told me about the matter between you and him. But until now, he has never revealed a word in front of me. It was not until today that I learned about this matter from Lian'er. When he came to your house unexpectedly, Brother Gao was a little panicked. As he I have no affection for you, so why should I be so honest?"
He Lanyan was silent for a moment, although joy flashed in his eyes, it was only a flash after all. That's it.
"Please forgive me, Miss Helan, if Gao Yuan doesn't marry you, what will you do?"
He Lanyan smiled miserably, "So what, the worst I can do is end up alone all my life. Once upon a time, it was difficult to overcome the sea, but Wushan is not a cloud. I have loved high and far, who can touch my heartstrings again."
"Sister Helan, have you ever thought that since I am Brother Gao's official wife, even if he is willing to marry you, you can only be his concubine. You are the princess of the Helan clan, and now you have a special status among the Xiongnu clan. Even if you If you are willing, how can your brother and those many Xiongnu people do what you want?" Ye Jing'er asked.
"I love you when you love me. How can I expect so much." He Lanyan sighed and looked at Ye Jing'er, "Mrs. Gao, I know that I have brought you difficulties and made you unhappy. If you don't like it, Gao Yuan will naturally If you are not happy, if you understand, I will leave Jishi City and stay far away from you. You don’t have to worry about me bringing you trouble. "
"Where are you going after leaving Jishi City?" Ye Jing'er shook her head and said, "Your tribe and relatives are all here."
"The world is so big that there is no place that we can't go to. The grassland is so vast that there is no place that we can't settle down in."
Ye Jing'er stretched her hands forward and held He Lanyan's cold hands, "Sister He Lan, in your heart, am I such a jealous person?"
He Lanyan shuddered and raised her eyes, staring at Ye Jing'er.
In the lobby ahead, although there were many people, it was completely silent. Everyone was waiting anxiously. Except for Jiang Jiaquan who was relatively calm, everyone else looked a little uneasy. Especially Gao Yuan and Helan Xiong, they seemed extremely anxious. Gao Yuan was the initiator and one of the parties involved, while Helan Xiong was worried about his only sister. He was worried and confused, so he couldn't feel at ease.
Mrs. Wu had stood up for the third time, "Should I go and take a look?"
Jiang Jiaquan shook his head, "No need. Didn't Xinlian say that there would be no conflict between the two of them? Besides, the two maids of Helan Coach are guarding outside the house. If there is anything, they will come to report it. Since they didn't come, it means that nothing will happen."
Mrs. Wu sat down again anxiously. Cao Lian'er, who was beside her, looked pale, and obviously regretted it. If she had known that it would cause such a big storm, she would not have leaked the matter even if she was beaten to death.
As everyone was waiting anxiously, light footsteps came from inside, and everyone's faces were lifted and they all stood up. In the expectant eyes of the crowd, Ye Jing'er appeared in everyone's sight.
Everyone's eyes moved with her footsteps.
Ye Jing'er walked straight to Gao Yuan, "Brother Gao, don't you go see Helan sister? She has something to say to you."
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and strode inside. Helan Xiong hesitated for a moment, ready to follow him. As soon as he moved his footsteps, Ye Jing'er's eyes had already looked over, "General Helan, please stay, I have something to say."
Helan Xiong looked at her in doubt, and took back the steps he had taken.
Ye Jing'er sat down slowly, her eyes swept over Jiang Jiaquan and his group, and everyone lowered their heads under her gaze.
"Jiang Yizheng, you shouldn't have kept this from me."
Jiang Jiaquan coughed and gargled, "Madam, it's not that we are hiding this from you, it's just that we haven't found a suitable opportunity. I think Madam also understands that this matter is very important. We don't understand Madam's intentions and dare not act rashly."
Ye Jing'er closed her eyes slightly. How could it be possible that she didn't feel wronged or didn't care? She had always thought that Brother Gao only cared about her, but now she suddenly realized that there was a shadow in Brother Gao's heart. How could she not be sad?
If she was still the ordinary girl in Fufeng County a few years ago, if she knew about this, she would naturally find it difficult to tolerate it. But as she entered the Xiangfu, her knowledge gradually broadened. After marrying Gao Yuan, as the situation developed, she naturally knew Gao Yuan's situation clearly. The Helan family was too important to the entire layout of Zhengdong Mansion.
More importantly, Brother Gao was too good. It was normal for girls to love a man like him. It was just that she had never thought that Helan Yan was one of them.
Marrying into a high-ranking family, as Gao Yuan's wife, she naturally had to plan for Gao Yuan's future and contribute to his foundation, rather than causing trouble. Even if she was unwilling, she had to make it happen. Moreover, if she refused, it would not only alienate the Helan family, but also make the Xiongnu clan dissatisfied. More importantly, Gao Yuan would not be happy.
Thinking of this, she opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Jiaquan, "Political Council, Helan sister is of noble status, so she naturally cannot marry into the Gao family as a concubine. Political Council, is there any way to solve this problem?"
As soon as this was said, a long exhalation came from the room. Obviously, everyone was nervous and anxious just now, holding their breath in their chests, and now they were relieved and exhaled, but it seemed a bit strange that so many people exhaled at the same time.
"So, Madam agrees?" Jiang Jiaquan was overjoyed.
Ye Jing'er's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Jiang Jiaquan, "Am I also the kind of woman who cannot tolerate others in Jiang Yizheng's heart?"
Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said, "Of course not. Ever since I saw Madam in white clothes and bare hands, beating drums on the tower to help the battle, I knew that Madam was not an ordinary person."
"I think Yizheng has been planning this for a long time, right? But I don't know how Yizheng is going to solve it?" Ye Jing'er stabbed Jiang Jiaquan calmly.
Jiang Jiaquan was slightly embarrassed, thinking that Madam was still unhappy after all, but compared to the overall situation, Madam's dissatisfaction with him was nothing.
"I have already thought about this matter!" He said confidently. (To be continued..)
