”Alright, are you not busy today?” Huang Lian wanted to ask if she had a lover.
”It's not busy, it's already been 15, how can I be so busy? Oh yes, I got some dried flower tea from the Sister-in-law and came over to have a drink. It's been a while since the two of us last got together.”
Without explanation, Yang Juan Er dragged her into his courtyard. After entering the house, he called the little lass over and started to busy himself, before making hot tea. He then started to chat with her quietly while sitting inside the house.
”Cousin, my brother treats you well, right? Didn't you see how he looked when he hit our elder sister-in-law? That's scary. Hmph, calling her a naughty girl always makes things difficult for you. Are you angry this time?” He winked at her.
Huang Lian covered her mouth and said in shock, ”Could it be you?”
”It's not me, if I had that kind of ability, would I still need to ask upbringing aunt? It's just that that I met my big brother in the garden that day, who was in a bad mood, so I asked him and accidentally said a few more words that I missed out on, and then just like what you saw, I feel really satisfied just thinking about it. ”
Yang Juan Er felt that he had completed a huge task, and looked as if he was begging for praise.
Huang Lian looked at her with tears in her eyes. She used a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, ”It was all thanks to the Fourth Sister's protection that I suffered a little.”
”Seriously, you should have told my mother about it. Let's see how she can continue being so arrogant like this.”
Yang Juan Er was not married yet, so he naturally could not understand the pain in Su Waner's heart.
”But she's the principal wife. Even if my aunt was protecting her, she shouldn't bother her too much. Forget it, let's not talk about me. I heard some gossip from her a few days ago!”
”What gossip?” Yang Juan Er asked curiously.
”What other gossip could there be? Let me ask you, did you say anything to her?” She said that something was wrong when you returned from the White Jade Temple. I thought that she was always smart, so you must not hide from me. ”
Huang Lian kept her tears back and asked about this matter. She was able to hold her ground in this mansion, not only because she was careful and never raised one, but also because of the Madam Hou and Yang Juan Er's protection.
Hearing this, Yang Juan Er's heart skipped a beat, she was so angry that her teeth clattered loudly. That day, she had only carefully asked a few questions, and that had already let her see the inklings, and even said it, she could not help but complain about Su Waner.
”Where did it come from!”
She grumbled, ”Forget it, you and I have grown up together. Ever since I learned of this, it's been difficult for me to calm down, so I'm afraid that what she said is true, and when I asked you about it, I just think that it's better if you keep it a secret from me. Since you're not telling me about it now, I won't ask you about it, even if you have to be careful with it, don't tell her anything.”
Hearing her words, Yang Juan Er became sad, and said: ”How could I not believe you, it's just that you have already said it, so it's better to not say it out loud, now you're blaming me for not speaking, whatever, I will speak with you, and help me make the decision.”
”Is that true?” Huang Lian looked at her in astonishment.
”En!” Yang Juan Er admitted it generously, although he was annoyed that Su Waner would reveal such a shameful matter, at least Huang Lian was truly good to her, and said: ”I met her that day at the temple when I was admiring the plum.”
At this point, two red clouds flew up on her beautiful face, as she looked towards the corner of the room in a daze, Huang Lian saw that she was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her palms, and extended her hand to shake her: ”You don't want to walk my old path, didn't your Third Cousin back then …”
”Cousin, he's different from third brother!” Yang Juan Er interrupted her, showing the expression of a young girl.
Huang Lian thought about which family he was from and asked, ”Do you know who he is?”
”Yes, cousin. Help me make up my mind quickly. My mind is in chaos.” It wasn't easy for Yang Juan Er to find a person to discuss with whom he could pester to get an understanding of the situation, or perhaps, he even had a trace of agreement in the depths of his heart.
Seeing that she could not persuade him, Huang Lian asked: ”Who is that person? If you really like him, find an opportunity to mention him to your aunt. She will send people to ask around. If his character is trustworthy, he might be able to become a legend.”
Mentioning this matter, a trace of worry that shouldn't have appeared appeared on Yang Juan Er's face, and he said: ”Even if I were to mention it to Mother, I'm afraid it won't work!”
”Why is that? Could it be that the man had already gotten married? ”Then let's call it a divorce. The only direct daughter of our house cannot be asked for even if she's worth ten thousand gold. If he knew, he would be so happy that he wouldn't even need you to mention it. He would have given up on his own wife.”
It had to be said that Huang Lian's thoughts and eyes were the same as Yang Juan Er's. No wonder the two of them were able to walk together.
When Yang Juan Er heard this, he became even more annoyed. Was the Princess Jing'an that easy to relax?
”If I could, I wouldn't have to sit here worrying.”
