After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Gu Yuanchen knelt down as he spoke, his face full of determination and sincerity.

The Duke's expression instantly turned ugly, and he said sternly, "Gu Yuanchen, do you know what you are talking about?"

Gu Yuanchen's face was full of determination. "Grandfather, I know. I will go to the An family to cancel the engagement."

The Duke slammed the table hard, his veins popping out in anger. "How dare you say such things when you still remember that you're already engaged! Don't you know that you're going to marry Miss An this time you've returned? The wedding date is almost set, and you're saying you want to break off the engagement now? Are you just jealous of the Duke's Mansion's reputation?"

Gu Yuanchen held his head high stubbornly. Although there was a hint of guilt in his eyes, he remained undeterred. "I am sorry to Miss An. I will go and apologize to her. But Wanyue saved me and we have already had physical contact. I should marry her and be responsible for her. As a man, this is my responsibility."

Ye Qingyu looked at the tense atmosphere in front of her and thought that it must have been a similar scene in her previous life.

It's just that she was not there at the time and didn't see it, but her grandfather has always had a bad temper, and her fourth cousin is stubborn to the end, so it is not impossible that her fourth cousin will leave home.

Ye Qingyu quickly spoke to comfort him, "Grandfather, please don't be angry. Fourth cousin wants to marry Sister Xia, but he still needs her consent. Fourth cousin, did you ask Sister Xia's opinion first?"

Gu Yuanchen was stunned. He had indeed not asked Wanyue, but they had had physical contact, so he should marry her.

Ye Qingyu asked Xia Wanyue with a smile, "Sister Xia, my fourth cousin wants to marry you. He already has an engagement and came back this time to get married. He broke off the engagement because of you. What do you think? Do you agree to marry him?"

Ye Qingyu looked at her straight, her clear eyes were like a pure mirror that could reflect the ugliness and darkness in people's hearts.

Xia Wanyue was panicked by her look. If she agreed now, what kind of person would she be?

Ruining someone else's engagement and demanding a favor in return? Even if she could marry Gu Yuanchen, with the Duke's attitude, they might not have a good ending.

While she was thinking randomly, Ye Qingyu asked in her ear, "Sister Xia, did you hear me? Say something."

Xia Wanyue smiled delicately, like a delicate yet resilient little white flower that made people pity her. "Brother Chen, you never told me you wanted to marry me. If you had told me earlier, I would never have come to the Duke's Mansion with you. I saved you, but I can't just stand by and watch you die. I won't marry you and let you break your promise. I can't let you do such a thing for me."

Gu Yuanchen was distressed. "Wanyue, I have tarnished your innocence, so naturally I must marry you. You don't have to worry. Even if you don't become the son of the Duke's Mansion, I will not let you down."

When Xia Wanyue heard that he was really going to give up his status as the Fourth Young Master of the Duke's Mansion, she immediately said anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense! When did you ever smear my innocence? If you insist on doing this, then I will leave."

Gu Yuanchen said anxiously, "Wanyue, don't be like this."

Ye Qingyu spoke calmly to comfort him, "Fourth cousin, don't be anxious. Look, you haven't even confirmed Sister Xia's feelings yet, yet you're so stubborn and reckless, saying you want to break off the engagement and marry her. This is not only humiliating Sister Xia, but also offending the An family. Sigh."

Ye Qingyu helplessly shook her head and looked at the Duke, "Grandfather, why don't I take Sister Xia back to live in the Marquis' Mansion first? She came to Kyoto with no one to rely on. Since she is the benefactor of our Duke's Mansion, we should reward her well.

But Sister Xia and Fourth Cousin are having some issues right now, so why not calm down and wait until Third Cousin finishes his exams? Right now, Third Cousin's exam is the most important thing."

"Fourth cousin, isn't that right?" Ye Qingyu turned her head and looked straight at Gu Yuanchen.

Gu Yuanchen nodded in agreement. His affairs were not as important as his third brother's future.

"Okay, I'll listen to my cousin, Grandfather. It was my grandson who was reckless."

The Duke's face was gloomy. "It's good that you know." After saying that, he put on a kind face and looked at Xia Wanyue and Ye Qingyu. "Miss Xia, I'll have to ask you to stay with Qingyu at the Marquis' Mansion for two days. Qingyu, you must take good care of Miss Xia."

Ye Qingyu promised solemnly, "Grandfather, don't worry. Qingya has moved out now, and I'm eager to have someone to accompany me. Sister Xia, I'm really grateful that you can come to accompany me." Ye Qingyu looked at her with a simple and grateful face.

Xia Wanyue was looked at by Ye Qingyu with such pure and innocent eyes, and she actually felt a trace of guilt. The expression on her face also became much more sincere. "Sister Qingyu, I should thank you for taking me in."

Ye Qingyu took Xia Wanyue back to the Marquis' Mansion.

When Ye Qingyu brought people back to the Marquis' Mansion, she hurriedly asked someone to measure Xia Wanyue's size and make clothes for her. She also picked out a few sets of her own clothes that were suitable for her size for her to wear temporarily, and opened her jewelry box for Xia Wanyue to choose what she liked.

Xia Wanyue's eyes widened as she watched Ye Qingyu's maid bring in jewelry boxes, each filled with jewels and precious stones.

Her eyes were glued to the jewelry, but she shyly declined, "Qingyu, how can this be? You have already given me clothes. I am staying at the Marquis' Mansion temporarily, so how can I still ask for your things?"

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Sister Xia, don't worry about these things. You saved Fourth Cousin. Even if you don't want to marry her, you are still our benefactor. We are all family. These things are just external possessions.

You've just arrived and haven't had time to buy anything. Sister Xia, if you don't mind these jewellery pieces being used by Qingyu, it's fine. Pick out a few that suit you and use them first. Once you've settled down in Kyoto, we can go shopping and buy some new ones."

Xia Wanyue seemed very reluctant to choose a few hairpins. Ye Qingyu placed her in the east wing of Wanyan Pavilion and sent two maids to serve her.

After making arrangements for Xia Wanyue, Ye Qingyu called Mo Hua over.

That kind and gentle expression had long since vanished. "Mo Hua, go tell Grandfather to investigate Xia Wanyue. There's definitely something fishy about her. Keep Fourth Cousin's situation stable first. Use Third Cousin's imperial examination as an excuse. Fourth Cousin isn't that naive. During this time, you must find out Xia Wanyue's background. I'll keep Xia Wanyue stable so Grandfather doesn't have to worry."

Mo Hua took the order and quickly went to the Duke's Mansion.

On the second day, Ye Qingyu took Xia Wanyue to visit Old Madam Ye. The old lady had gotten much better, but when she saw the people Ye Qingyu brought, she looked unhappy and had a cold attitude.

Xia Wanyue twisted her handkerchief in a panic and looked at Ye Qingyu timidly.
