After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Gu Huaizhi tasted it with a look of suspicion on his face, "Is this true? Your Highness, you are not being polite?" Hey, there really is no weird smell.

Ye Qingyu looked at him with some pride, "Cousin, my cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

Gu Huaizhi nodded, and Xu said with joy, "Our Qingqing has really grown up and can even cook for herself. I wonder which boy will be lucky enough to marry such a virtuous Jiaojiao in the future."

Gu Huaizhi glanced at Shen Yanli vaguely, only to see that he was still eating with a calm expression.

After dinner, Gu Huaizhi sent Shen Yanli out. Xu looked at Ye Qingyu with a look of hesitation. Finally, she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "Qingqing, what are you doing today..."

Xu paused, her face full of confusion. Although she also disliked the Fourth Prince and did not want Qingqing to marry the hypocritical Shen Mingxiu, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was a good man with a noble character, but his biggest shortcoming was his poor mobility. If Qingqing married him, she would have to take care of him. Alas, why couldn't he be cured?

Ye Qingyu didn't know what her third aunt was thinking. She smiled and replied, "Your Highness the Prince of Chu saved me before, and I sent some gifts to express my gratitude. I always felt that it was a bit too insignificant. Today is a good opportunity, so I will cook some food as a reward for your life-saving grace."

Naturally, she couldn't tell her real purpose, so she had to come up with this excuse.

Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not enough to just fall in love with the King of Chu. Being a royal wife was not easy. They all hoped that Qingqing would marry into a decent family of equal status and live a peaceful and happy life.

Three days later, the whole family got up early and prepared to send Gu Huaizhi to the examination hall. Even the Duke asked for leave from the Emperor and personally sent his grandson to the examination hall.

Fourth cousin still hadn't come back yet. Ye Qingyu looked at third cousin who followed the crowd into the examination room, her eyes full of anticipation.

This time, without the experiences of his previous life, my third cousin will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination, have a smooth career, and realize his ambitions.

The group returned to the Duke's Mansion. Less than a cup of tea later, they sat down when they heard someone reporting from outside.

"My Lord, the Fourth Young Master is back."

When the Duke heard this, his face was filled with joy, "Chen'er is back!" As he said this, the Duke stood up and was about to go out to greet him.

Ye Qingyu also followed behind, but she did not have the joy of the others, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Grandfather, Chen'er is back." A strong male voice came from far away, through the hall and the courtyard.

Soon, a handsome man in black tights came walking towards them quickly.

When Gu Yuanchen saw his grandfather with gray hair, he knelt down in front of the Duke.

Gu Yuanchen's clear and deep voice was choked with sobs, "Grandfather, your unfilial grandson has returned to see you."

There was a mist in the Duke's eyes. He bent down and helped Gu Yuanchen up. "Good boy, get up quickly and let grandpa take a good look at you. You have grown up and become stronger." The Duke patted the strong back of his fourth grandson, his face full of joy.

"Seeing that grandpa is in good health, father should be relieved."

"I'm in good health. Come, meet your second and third aunts."

Gu Yuanchen bowed and said, "Hello, aunts. It seems I came back too late and couldn't send my third brother into the examination room." He said with regret.

Xu said with a smile on her face, "What's the big deal? Now that you're back, can't you pick him up?"

Gu Yuanchen smiled brightly, "Third Aunt is right."

The Duke quickly pulled Ye Qingyu over and said, "Qingqing, this is your fourth cousin, do you remember him?"

Ye Qingyu's smile was light and soft, and her voice was gentle and pleasant. "Of course I remember. Qingyu has met Fourth Cousin."

Gu Yuanchen smiled and said, "Hello, cousin, you are getting more and more beautiful."

At this moment, a soft, timid and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded, "Brother Chen..."

Everyone's eyes turned to a place not far behind Gu Yuanchen.

I saw a charming woman in a white dress, standing there with a cautious and nervous look on her face. The spring breeze blew by, and she looked so fragile that she seemed as if she would float away with the wind at any moment.

The smile on Ye Qingyu's lips slowly faded, and a hint of coldness gradually appeared in her beautiful and clear eyes.

She showed up anyway.

Xia Wanyue, a woman who caused her fourth cousin to fall out with the Duke's Mansion because of her.

The Duke's smile faded, "Chen'er, who is this girl?"

Gu Yuanchen looked at Xia Wanyue with eyes full of tenderness, and his resolute and handsome face was stained with a hint of shame. "Grandfather, this is Wanyue. I was in danger on the way back and almost lost my life. Fortunately, Wanyue rescued me, otherwise you would not be able to see me."

Xia Wanyue timidly bowed, "I greet the Duke of Zhenguo and the two ladies."

Xu looked Xia Wanyue up and down and said calmly, "Let's go back to Mingxin Hall and talk. It doesn't look good standing in the yard."

The group returned to Mingxin Hall. Xia Wanyue clung to Gu Yuanchen in fear, looking timidly at the stranger in front of her. In a trance, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.

Ye Qingyu accurately caught the unusual look in her eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Sure enough, it was not a simple one.

"Fourth cousin, this Miss Xia came to Kyoto with you. Is she here to look for her relatives? If there is anything Miss Xia can do to help, please speak up. You saved Fourth cousin, so you are the benefactor of our Duke's Mansion."

Ye Qingyu stood up and sat next to Xia Wanyue. "Miss Xia is so beautiful. There are many beautiful women in Kyoto, but I have never seen anyone so elegant and refined. How old are you, Miss Xia?"

Seeing Ye Qingyu's kind smile, Xia Wanyue also relaxed, "I'm sixteen years old this year."

Ye Qingyu smiled even sweeter and more amiable. "Sister is only two years older than me. Can I call you Sister Xia? Sister, just call me Qingyu."

Seeing that Ye Qingyu liked her very much, Xia Wanyue couldn't help feeling happy. "Of course it's good." She looked shy.

Everyone present, except Gu Yuanchen, noticed Ye Qingyu's abnormality. She had never been such a kind person, except to those close to her. To a stranger, she was always distant, indifferent and arrogant.

Seeing Ye Qingyu being so close to Xia Wanyue, Gu Yuanchen couldn't help but feel happy, and his face was full of joy. "Qingyu, it's great that you can be close to Wanyue. You can also help her get familiar with Kyoto. She is all alone and has no relatives or friends."

Gu Yuanchen looked at the Duke, "Grandfather, you don't know, I encountered a group of bandits on my way back. My guards died protecting me. Although I escaped, I was also seriously injured. Fortunately, I met Wanyue, who was also coming to Kyoto to make a living. It was she who took care of me when I was seriously injured, and I was able to escape death. Grandfather, I want to marry Wanyue, please grant my wish."
