Chapter 205: Volume 1, Chapter 205: Don't Know If You Have Taken a Fancy to Jue'er

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue subconsciously sat upright.

"Lady, just ask if you have anything to say," Yun Qiyue said with a serious face.

Seeing Yun Qiyue like this, Lady Shui was slightly stunned, then said, "Since Qiyue is Jue'er's fiancée, you can call me Aunt."

Saying this, Lady Shui comforted, "You don't have to be nervous, it's just a normal question."

Yun Qiyue heard this and returned a smile.

Only then did Lady Shui say, "Since Qiyue is Jue'er's fiancée, and the marriage has been bestowed for quite a long time, I don't know if you have taken a fancy to Jue'er."

As soon as Lady Shui said this, Yun Qiyue felt five gazes fall on her at the same time.

Yun Qiyue was a bit embarrassed; she didn't expect Lady Shui to ask this question.

Although when she was with Ye Lanjue, her flirtatious words could come out without money, and confessions were not a problem, but weren't those to flirt with Ye Lanjue?

Besides, it was no problem for the two of them to say such things in private.

Now, in front of so many people, should she admit it or not?

Admit it, she didn't have the hobby of confessing in public, always feeling it was strange.

Don't admit it, saying she didn't like him in front of the elders didn't seem appropriate either.

Thinking about it, Yun Qiyue thought of a compromise method, so she said: "The Imperial Uncle is so excellent, naturally I like him a bit."

As soon as this sentence came out, Yun Qiyue felt it was settled.

However, behind her, a cold and slightly dissatisfied voice drifted over at this moment, "Yue'er doesn't usually say it like that."

It was Ye Lanjue.

Yun Qiyue thought of Ye Lanjue's recent attributes and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Especially, Yun Qiyue also saw Lady Shui looking at Ye Lanjue with interest at this moment, waiting for Ye Lanjue to continue.

Yun Qiyue wanted to stop him.

But, her actions were not as fast as her mouth.

She only heard Ye Lanjue say: "Yue'er usually tells this King that you like this King, and you won't marry anyone but this King; could it be that those were fake?"

In his voice, there seemed to be resentment, and there seemed to be a warning.

Yun Qiyue: "..." She knew it.

The current Imperial Uncle was truly different from the past; saying such things, he didn't even draft them, and he didn't care about the occasion.

Her heart was filled with emotions, and her face was helpless.

She wanted to refute that she had never said she wouldn't marry anyone but him, but clearly, refuting at this time seemed very powerless.

Thus, Yun Qiyue said nothing and defaulted.

Otherwise, what could she do?

And at this time, Lady Shui looked at Ye Lanjue with disapproval, "Jue'er, how are you talking? The little girl has thin skin, what if you scare her?"

Yun Qiyue: "... Yes, she has thin skin, she will be scared."

Hearing this, Ye Lanjue glanced at Yun Qiyue meaningfully and didn't refute Lady Shui's words, but said, "Yes, Aunt."

As for Yun Qiyue having thin skin?

It could be said that he had never seen a woman with thicker skin than her.

Seeing Ye Lanjue directly admit his mistake, a hint of surprise flashed across Lady Shui's face.

She knew what kind of temper her nephew had; being like this, she thought her nephew truly placed this girl in his heart.

Also, if he hadn't placed her in his heart, how could he have achieved the step of eating and living together?

Lady Shui's eyes were slightly red, but she quickly revealed a smile, looking at Yun Qiyue kindly, "In the future, if Jue'er dares to bully you, just tell Aunt, and Aunt will help you teach him a lesson."

Yun Qiyue was slightly stunned, looking at Lady Shui.

This was completely different from what she had imagined, really.

At the very least, she thought Lady Shui, as Jun Mengran's mother, would dislike her.

But, this Lady Shui was not someone who protected her own.

Otherwise, why wouldn't she stand by her daughter's side?

However, Yun Qiyue didn't know at this moment that this Lady Shui not only protected her own, but also protected her

"Yes, Aunt is right," Ye Lanjue replied.

Yun Qiyue noticed that Ye Lanjue was truly different in front of Lady Shui.

Looking at him, he seemed to have less of that cold air and was much more lively.

However, Jun Mengran, who was watching this scene, was nearly going mad with jealousy at this moment.

Because their happy and harmonious appearance made her seem redundant.

Clearly, the one who used to sit there was her.

Clearly, it used to be her chatting and laughing with Brother Ye and Mother; why, the moment Yun Qiyue arrived, did she appear so redundant?

She even wanted to interject, but for a moment, she didn't know how to do so.

Seeing the atmosphere between the three of them getting better and better, Jun Mengran was unwilling to just stand by, so she spoke up, "Mother, when I came over, I saw the lotus flowers outside in full bloom. Why don't we go outside and admire the lotuses?"

Upon hearing Jun Mengran's voice, the smile on Lady Shui's face faded slightly.

She did not respond to Jun Mengran immediately, but instead looked at Yun Qiyue and asked, "Qiyue, I wonder if you are interested in the lotus flowers?"

This meant that if Yun Qiyue wanted to go, then they would go.

Jun Mengran clenched her fists, but she tried her best to endure it on the surface. Fearing that Yun Qiyue would not go, she gritted her teeth and requested in a coquettish voice, "Sister-in-law, let's go together."

After saying that, she looked at Lady Shui as if acting spoiled, "Mother hasn't gone to admire flowers with me for a long time."

Lady Shui did not speak, still looking at Yun Qiyue.

And Yun Qiyue could tell that Lady Shui had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward flower viewing.

After all, she lived not far from the lotus pond, and besides, this courtyard was so beautiful; surely her mood was excellent every day.

But, seeing Jun Mengran's somewhat eager appearance, Yun Qiyue still nodded, "Alright."

If there were no tricks behind Jun Mengran being so eager to go to the lotus pond, she wouldn't believe it.

Upon hearing this, Lady Shui glanced at Yun Qiyue and said, "In that case, let's go."

Saying this, she prepared to stand up.

Zhu Qing, who was on the side, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lady Shui.

Only then did Yun Qiyue notice that Lady Shui not only had an ailment but also had some difficulty with her legs and feet.

Subconsciously, Yun Qiyue stepped forward to support her.

Just at this moment, Jun Mengran also reached out.

It was just that Yun Qiyue was closer and moved faster, which caused Jun Mengran to reach for nothing, her hands left awkwardly frozen there.

Jun Mengran's expression stiffened slightly, but she forced a smile and looked at Yun Qiyue, "Sister-in-law, let me support Mother; I usually support her."

But Yun Qiyue going to support Lady Shui was not to show off, but to take Lady Shui's pulse.

Her Ghost Hand had now recovered, and when she touched Lady Shui's hand, her consciousness sank inward.

At the same time, a great deal of information regarding Lady Shui's physical condition was transmitted into Yun Qiyue's mind.

Because there was too much information, Yun Qiyue did not move for a moment, which resulted in her not answering Jun Mengran's words in time.

In Jun Mengran's eyes, Yun Qiyue was just trying to steal the credit and show off, trying to steal her mother, so her voice couldn't help but rise a few notches, "Sister-in-law—"
