The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

"Master Hou, you, you, you, you -" Dong Yi, half drunk, said "you" for a long time, then he choked out a sentence, "Are you going to protect me now?"

The whole room laughed.

"Let's go, let's toast Dr. Xu while you're still here."

Ye Yuxiao picked up the wine glass and stood up, went downstairs with everyone, and toasted Dr. Xu and everyone who had taken care of her and fought the epidemic with her.

When they toasted, Xue Jingyu did not follow. After they finished the toast and returned to the private room to sit down, Xue Jingyu suddenly smiled and said to Xue Fanling: "Cousin, do you owe me a glass of matchmaking wine?"

If you owe wine, you owe wine. Why do you owe Xie Matchmaker wine? Xue Fanling did not dare to serve this wine casually, and scolded in a low voice with a red face: "Cousin, what are you talking about!" She was not married yet, where did she get the matchmaking wine!

Xue Jingyu glanced at the table next to her and raised her voice: "If I hadn't told you that Prince Gu of Pingnan Palace was of high status and would inherit the title in the future, with a bright future, how could you deliberately approach him? Now you You got what you wanted, and you and I are working together with Mr. Gu, shouldn’t you thank me for being the matchmaker?”

"You!" Xue Fanling's face turned blood red from holding back, and she stood up with a cry.

Why thank the matchmaker? Did she say this to Gu Yuanlang on purpose? She has been keeping her peace these days, and she thought she had changed her ways, but it turned out that she was holding back her evil here!

"What are you doing? Did I say something wrong?" Xue Jingyu took an empty wine glass, put it in front of her, and motioned for her to pour the wine.

She finally understood that her cousin just couldn't bear to see others living better than her, and she even hated her own cousin! Xue Fanling was angry and anxious, swept down the wine glass and rushed out.

"Fighting in the nest?" Gu Qingyan looked at Xue Fanling's back and asked Ye Yuxiao quietly, "Shall we take a look?"

Ye Yuxiao shook his head gently at her and watched Gu Yuanlang get up and chase him out. She has always been free-spirited and adheres to a few principles. Not getting involved with other people's feelings is one of them. His arsenic, my honey, the affairs between men and women are only known to themselves, and outsiders cannot see the whole picture. Regardless of the cause and outcome of this matter, let Gu Yuanlang and Xue Fanling resolve it themselves.

Gu Yuanlang caught up with Xue Fanling at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

Xue Fanling covered her face and stood facing the corner, shrugging her shoulders.

Is she...crying? Without hesitation, Gu Yuanlang took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.

In order to take the veil, Xue Fanling released her hand covering her face, her face covered with tears.

Seeing that she was stunned, Gu Yuanlang took the handkerchief back and wiped her tears with his own hands: "When you approached me in the first place, was it really because of my family background, rather than admiration for me?"

"I, I -" Xue Fanling hurriedly defended, "No, she is talking nonsense. I do it because of my love -"

"You have lived in Jizhou for a long time and have never seen me before. How can you express your admiration for me?" Gu Yuanlang interrupted her before she could finish.

It turns out that although he is big-hearted, he is not easy to fool at all. Under his gaze, Xue Fanling felt that she had nowhere to hide, so she had to worry: "Yes, I was interested in your family background at first! You are the eldest son of Prince Pingnan, and the future Prince of Pingnan is comparable to Those country boys in Jizhou are much better."

"I'm a woman, and my biggest goal in this life is to find a good husband. I grew up in a small place like Jizhou, and I haven't met many people. How can I not be tempted when I first meet someone like you? After all, I want to get married, why don’t I choose someone with a good family background?”

"However, as we got closer, I discovered that in addition to your family background, you have many things that are better than those country boys in Jizhou. You are highly skilled in martial arts and can defeat others with a hundred steps; you have a generous and peaceful personality and don't like to argue with others; you care about others. He doesn't have the airs of a prince of the royal family at all...how can such a young master not be admired..."

After Xue Fanling said the last sentence, her face turned red and hot. She pushed him hard and ran downstairs.

But Gu Yuanlang pulled her back: "You are motivated by greed for family background, and you also fall in love with her because of her character?"

Xue Fanling was so embarrassed that she couldn't open her mouth.

Gu Yuanlang nodded, let go of her arm, and went back to the private room.

Xue Fanling was stunned for a long time. She didn't come back to her senses until Gu Qingyan came out.

"Did you and I have a falling out?" Gu Qingyan's eyes were full of curiosity. It was hard to tell whether she was out of concern or driven by gossip.

Xue Fanling shook her head blankly.

"So, are you reconciled?" Gu Qingyan asked again.

Xue Fanling still shook her head.

Why are you shaking your head no matter what you ask? Gu Qingyan frowned: "Did they break up or reconcile?"

"I, I don't know either." Xue Fanling was confused and smiled bitterly.

Halfway through the words, is it a compulsory lesson for noble gentlemen not to reveal their attitudes easily? I had only heard that Marquis Yingchuan was such a person before, but it turned out that Gu Yuanlang, who was a straight man, was also like this...

Seeing her like this, Gu Qingyan felt bored and went back to the private room.

Xue Fanling wiped the tears on her face, hesitated for a while, and then returned to the private room. But after what happened just now, she felt embarrassed no matter what. She didn't dare to raise her eyes or let go of her hands.

She secretly told herself that Xue Jingyu was waiting to see a joke and she must not reveal her secret at this time, but as long as she thought about Gu Yuanlang's obscure attitude, she couldn't even pretend.

Ye Yuxiao saw her embarrassment and stood up holding on to the table: "Everyone, I have just recovered from a serious illness and am exhausted. I'm afraid I have to go back and rest first."

She had just escaped death, and no one dared to keep her alive. Everyone stood up and wanted to send her downstairs. Ouyang Sheng ran to her very quickly and held her arm, looking worried that she would faint next step.

Ye Yuxiao pinched Ouyang Sheng calmly and said, "There are so many guests today, and you and I have left, who will entertain them? You can stay and let Fanling accompany me back."

Ouyang Sheng understood and nodded: "It's okay to let her accompany you. She is a doctor. If you feel uncomfortable, she can treat you right away."

Ye Yuxiao went to ask Xue Fanling: "Are you willing to go back with me?"

Xue Fanling was naturally willing, and immediately helped her downstairs and boarded the carriage back to the inner city.

In the car, she checked Ye Yuxiao's pulse and whispered her thanks. Ye Yuxiao just lied about being exhausted in order to take her away from that embarrassing place. How could she not see it?

Ye Yuxiao patted her shoulder and said, "Actually, the relationship between two people is similar to treating illnesses and saving people. What do you think?"

How can this be similar to treating illnesses and saving lives? When the epidemic was at its worst, she was not as uncomfortable as she is now. Xue Fanling couldn't even squeeze out a wry smile, she just shook her head silently.

Ye Yuxiao had no choice but to talk to himself: "Treating diseases and saving people means doing your best and obeying destiny; the relationship between men and women is actually the same. We can give our own emotions and control our own behavior, but we can't control the other person, so we can only Do what you have to do to the best of your ability and then wait for the other person’s reaction.”

After hearing her words, Xue Fanling suddenly remembered what Gu Yuanlang told her: "Madam, when you first got married to the Marquis of Yingchuan, the relationship between them was like fire and water. Later, how did you ease the relationship with him? Becoming gluey?"
