Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 438 Thoughts
She didn't notice the deep meaning in Baili Yan's words, and answered casually: "Of course, you should say what you need to say, don't let yourself regret it."
"Otherwise, it will become a lifelong regret." If she knew what kind of seed this sentence would plant in Baili Yan's heart, she would never say it.
She originally wanted to give silent support, but when she thought about how Shen Siyan in his previous life never confessed his love to her until his death, would things have been different if he had been braver?
Baili Yan's eyes instantly became blazing, as if they could burn everything.
"Your Highness, the rain is getting heavier. Let's go quickly. The Su Mansion is just ahead."
Ye Yunzi urged, quickening her pace. Baili Yan suddenly grabbed her hand and gently held her in his arms.
Ye Yunzi looked up in surprise and met Baili Yan's deep and complex eyes. "Your Highness?"
Baili Yan stared at her, and the air seemed to freeze. Ye Yunzi instinctively wanted to break free, but Baili Yan retracted his gaze and said softly, "Let's go."
He let her go, held up the umbrella and continued walking. They kept a short distance between them, and Ye Yunzi's nervous mood finally relaxed.
Arriving at the gate of the Su Mansion, she said gratefully, "Thank you for your escort, Your Highness. If Your Highness has no means of transportation, how about letting the family's carriage take you back?"
"No need, you go in first."
"Okay then." Ye Yunzi turned and walked into the mansion, and Yu Shu hurried over to hold an umbrella for her. "Miss, are you okay? It's raining so hard..."
"Huh? I thought it was Master Shen who sent you back." Yu Shu turned around and found that it was Baili Yan standing at the door instead of Master Shen.
"No, let's go in."
"Okay." Yu Shu nodded in response. "I'll have someone prepare ginger soup. Although the young lady didn't get caught in the rain, the weather is so cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Baili Yan, standing outside the door, watched Ye Yunzi's figure walk farther and farther away until she disappeared behind the door. He secretly clenched his fists and remembered her words - if you bury your feelings deep in your heart, it will be a lifelong regret.
"Yun Zi..."
"Miss, Lord Ji has sent something again." Yu Shu came over carrying an exquisite box and placed it gently on the table.
Ye Yunzi gently opened the box, and inside lay a pink pearl hairpin as round as a thumb, which was very precious.
Since the last meeting, Lord Ji often sent people to deliver gifts, some of which were rare fruits of the season, some were priceless jewels, and some were rare ancient books.
Ye Yunzi smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Put it away."
"Yes, Miss." Yu Shu took the box and put it away carefully.
"What does Lord Ji mean by sending so many gifts? Young lady, you are already betrothed to someone."
Yu Shu said doubtfully, she felt that it was no coincidence that Lord Ji gave so many gifts, each one was of the best choice, as if he was expressing some kind of affection.
Ye Yunzi understood the little girl's thoughts and gently scolded her, "What's in your head?"
"Then why did he send these?" Yu Shu was puzzled. Not only did he prepare gifts for the young lady, he also specially prepared gifts for the lady and the old man. Isn't this just to please the whole family?
Ye Yunzi chuckled: "Actually, these are not for me."
"Ah?" Yu Shu was even more confused. Who else could it be except the young lady? She suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.
"Is it for you?" Yu Shu was interrupted by Ye Yunzi when she was halfway through her words.
"Shh——" Ye Yunzi made a gesture to silence Yu Shu, signaling her not to say any more.
Yu Shu quickly covered her mouth, not daring to say another word. She blinked, her heart full of surprise, but then she thought, this might be good news!
The lady has been unhappy all these years, but she is still young and beautiful, and she has every chance of finding a better home!
No need to think too much, Lord Ji is definitely better than that Ye... Bah! He is a hundred times stronger than Shen Yuming!
After Yu Shu figured it out, a smile appeared on her face: "It seems that there will be another happy event in the mansion soon."
Ye Yunzi looked at Yu Shu and joked, "What about your wedding, Yu Shu? When will it be your turn?"
Yu Shu blushed and said shyly: "Miss, you are making fun of me again! I plan to serve you for the rest of my life."
Ye Yunzi smiled, but she had deeper plans in mind. In her previous life, her maids had a tragic ending, and in this life she was determined to make them happy and live a peaceful life.
"Madam accepted it." Yuan Feng replied.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Houye's eyes, and he felt as if a heavy burden of many years had been lifted from his heart. He had never felt so relaxed and happy before. He was originally worried that Xiaoqing would reject his feelings.
Unexpectedly, after giving it to her a few times, she actually accepted it.
Yuan Feng couldn't help but feel happy for his master when he saw that his master's lonely life after so many years had finally turned around.
The master is no longer alone, and the mansion will also welcome a mistress. He secretly plans on how to help the master win the heart of the beauty faster.
Lord Ji frowned in disbelief.
"Ask Xiaoqing to come out for tea?"
"That's right!" Yuan Feng was worried that if he continued to act in the way of the Marquis, it might take a long time to win Su's heart.
"My Lord, although you send her gifts every day, you never have the chance to see her. How can you enhance your relationship if you don't see her?"
Lord Ji thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.
"You are right. I will write to invite her right away."
"If the Marquis could go pick her up in person, the effect might be better," Yuan Feng suggested.
"Good idea!" Lord Ji decided to change into clean clothes and go to the Su Mansion to pick up Xiaoqing.
Seeing this, Yuan Feng nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the Marquis was finally on the right track.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the study door.
Lord Ji stopped what he was doing. "Come in."
Yuan Qing walked in solemnly and said, "My Lord, I have something important to report to you!"
Seeing this, Lord Ji immediately stopped smiling and became serious. "Tell me."
"My Lord, I got an important piece of news..." Yuan Qing approached and whispered, "Miss Rong'er's child is still alive."
The study room fell into silence in an instant, and the fan in Lord Ji's hand slipped off, making a crisp sound.
He stared at Yuan Qing with wide eyes in disbelief. "What did you say? Rong'er's child is still alive?"
"Yes, I have investigated it thoroughly and the evidence is conclusive!" Yuan Qing answered firmly.
"How is this possible!" Lord Ji muttered in a low voice, his face full of confusion.
"Rong'er's child clearly died, and I even attended the funeral in person. If he was still alive, how could the emperor not know about it? He is the emperor's own son!"
Lord Ji clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently, and his heart was surging.
Yuan Qing took out an old letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lord Ji. "Lord, please take a look at this."
Lord Ji took the letter with trembling hands, and opened it with his fingers almost uncontrollably.
