Seeing Old Madam Ye shut her mouth with a look of bitterness that she couldn't say. Ye Li was once again sure that when dealing with an old woman like Old Madam Ye, she absolutely couldn't shed all pretense of cordiality and confront her with force. Seeing her own cousin speak so elegantly and courteously, who wouldn't believe that this was definitely a gentle and courteous junior respectfully listening to the elder's opinion? But looking at Old Madam Ye's expression that definitely couldn't be called beautiful, could she really give any opinion? Even in the end, when Old Madam Ye wanted Ye Shan and Ye Lin to accompany Ye Li to the Xu family's side courtyard, her idea was rejected by Xu Qingyan with a smile on his face, saying that men and women shouldn't be so close to each other. It would affect the reputation of the two young ladies. She could only helplessly watch as Ye Li was led out of the Ye family's main gate by the several young masters of the Xu family.
Once they left the Ye family, everyone was clearly much more relaxed and casual. Even Xu Qingze, who always had a cold face, revealed a faint smile. The unfamiliarity between the siblings that had been separated for many years seemed to disappear in an instant. As for Xu Qingyan, who was too young and didn't have an impression of Ye Li, he was very familiar with her. In a short while, they were intimate as if they had grown up together as siblings. Because the current head of the Xu family, Xu Qingchen, Xu Qingbai, Xu Qingyan's father, and Ye Li's uncle, Xu Hongyu didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he didn't live in his younger brother's Imperial Censor Manor. Instead, he directly lived in a small side courtyard of the Xu family in the capital. Therefore, Ye Li and the others directly went to the Xu family's side courtyard.
"Uncle …"
Seeing the middle-aged man in front of her, who was still elegant and gentle, Ye Li called out hoarsely.
Xu Hongyu also looked at this little niece that he had doted on since childhood. Seeing that face that was 70% similar to his sister who had passed away early and was a bit stronger than her sister, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He waved his hand at Ye Li and said, "Li 'er, you've worked hard these years. Uncle knows about the matters in the capital. With Uncle around, let's see who still dares to make things difficult for you! "Ye Li also felt that her eyes were somewhat sore. She forced a smile and said," With Second Uncle around, who dares to make things difficult for Li-er? Li 'er just misses Uncle and Grandfather. " Xu Hongyu glanced at his brother with some dissatisfaction and said, "If he was useful, would the mother and daughter of the Ye family be so smug?" Xu Hongyan also knew his brother's temper. He could only helplessly smile bitterly and said, "Big brother is right. It's your younger brother who didn't take good care of Li 'er."
"Uncle!" Ye Li shook her uncle's arm unwillingly. She didn't feel any pressure to act coquettishly in front of her uncle. After all, she had been like this since she was young. Who asked her to be a real child at that time? Moreover, he was the only child in the entire Xu family who was not afraid of First Uncle.
Xu Hongyu lovingly rubbed the back of Ye Li's head and said with a smile, "Alright, uncle was just saying. I haven't seen you for so many years, but you only care about your second uncle. "
"That's not true. Li 'er has always missed Uncle and Grandfather."
"Then when your grandfather wants you to go to Yunzhou, you still dare to refuse?"
"… …"
After chatting with her two uncles for a while, Xu Hongyu had Xu Qingyan bring her to the room that had already been prepared. At the same time, she could see the two mamas who had been waiting for a long time. Ye Li also knew that her uncle and cousin probably had something to talk about. She obediently followed Xu Qingyan.
Ye Li's room had already been prepared. It was in a quiet and secluded courtyard in the innermost part of the residence. The residence of the Xu family, whether it was the Imperial Censor's Residence or the former Xu Residence in the capital, was all simple and elegant. It also suited Ye Li's feelings very well. As soon as she stepped through the door, someone immediately came up to greet her, "Miss!"
Two mamas dressed in plain clothes came up to greet her. When they saw Ye Li, they couldn't help but be stunned. Their eyes filled with hot tears.
"Mama Lin … … Nanny … …" Ye Li called out. Mama Lin was a personal maid who had followed her mother since childhood. She was almost 50 years old this year. Ye Li's nanny was also a child of the Xu family. She was also 40 years old this year. Ye Li still remembered that when she forcibly sent Mama Lin and Mama Wei back to the Xu family, the two of them knelt in front of her and begged her. They would rather die than leave. Since then, until she met Qing Shuang, there had been no one she could trust around her. However, Ye Li didn't regret it. Because she was very clear that at that time, she had just recovered her memory and her mind was still in a mess. Moreover, her body was also very weak. It was impossible for her to protect these two people who were sincerely good to her.
"Miss … … Miss … …" The two mamas quickly walked to Ye Li. Mama Lin said with tears in her eyes, "Miss has finally grown up … … You look so much like Miss … …"
Wei Mama's feelings for Ye Li were even deeper. After all, she was the one who personally took care of Ye Li since she was young. "Sob sob … I'm sorry, Eldest Miss. I've left Eldest Miss alone in the Ye residence for so many years. Fortunately … … Fortunately, Miss is fine … … "
Ye Li sighed in her heart. She was still a little clumsy to deal with such a situation. She could only persuade the two mamas clumsily. Xu Qingyan looked at Ye Li's somewhat stiff appearance and secretly laughed. At the same time, he was sure that the Ye family had mistreated his cousin. "Ahem. Mama Lin, Mama Wei, you will be with Sister Li in the future. It's not very soon. Why don't we go inside and talk slowly? " After being reminded by Xu Qingyan, the two mamas quickly wiped their faces and nodded repeatedly, "Fifth Young Master is right. We were careless. Quick, Miss, see if you like your room. If you don't like it, we can change it. "
Watching Ye Li being pulled away by the two mamas, Xu Qingyan, who had been forgotten, was stunned for a moment. He rolled his eyes at the sky and turned to walk out.
Ye Li was pulled into her room and received the enthusiasm of the two mamas. On the other side of the courtyard, the atmosphere in the study was somewhat cold.
Xu Hongyu sat behind the desk and looked at his younger brother. The smile on his lips made Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qingbai, who were hiding behind him, couldn't help but shiver. "So, His Highness Prince Li thinks that Li 'er is not worthy of him and turned to seduce the Ye family's Fourth Young Miss. And the Emperor thinks that Li 'er's reputation of three to five thousand gold and the shame of being abandoned by Prince Li can be used to humiliate Prince Ding? "
Everyone's lips couldn't help but twitch. Seduce … … Eldest Uncle (Father), you are a great scholar. Can't you speak more elegantly?
Xu Hongyan nodded and said, "It is indeed so."
As if he still felt that the atmosphere in the study was not low enough, Xu Qingchen, who was sitting at the lower end, had a smile that was even more graceful than his father's as he took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Just earlier today, Li Wang publicly stated at Chu Xiang Pavilion that no matter how much Li Er tries to please the crowd, he will definitely not marry her."
Shiver … … Xu Qingyan, who had just slipped in, inconspicuously moved behind his fourth brother.
Xu Hongyu took the letter and looked at it for a while. He didn't say anything for a long time. Just as Xu Hongyan was about to speak with some worry, he heard Xu Hongyu laugh and say, "Not bad … … You are truly worthy of being my Xu family's daughter … …" As he said this, he directly handed the letter to Xu Hongyan. Xu Hongyan's lips twitched as he tried not to laugh. He had always stayed in the capital. How could he not know that this niece of his was definitely not as elegant as she appeared to be on the surface. But to be this … … fierce was rare. She was probably really provoked by Prince Li.
