Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Chapter 622 Diverting Attention

Something seemed to be pressing on her deep inside, making her feel inexplicably lost.

"Yunzi is fine!"

After hearing the news that Ye Yunzi was safe and sound, Tao Qiming's face gradually returned to normal.

Ji Xinying tightly grasped her handkerchief and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

She just felt suffocated in her heart, as if something was blocking it and she couldn't speak.

"Ms. Ji, is there anything else?" Tao Qiming asked when he saw Ji Xinying suddenly fall silent.

Ji Xinying shook her head: "No more."

She stood up and said in a daze, "Doctor Tao, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'm leaving now."

Tao Qiming didn't notice her abnormality. He politely saw her out and breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

After leaving Ningcaotang, Ji Xinying got on the carriage.

Sitting in the car, she felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, and she could hardly breathe. She was pale and covered her heart with her hands, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

What's going on? Why are you so restless all of a sudden?

It seemed that ever since Doctor Tao asked about Ye Yunzi, her heart began to become uneasy and her emotions gradually got out of control.

"Why is it so hard?"

Ji Xinying looked down at the crumpled handkerchief in her hand. After a long while, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "Could it be that I have fallen in love with Doctor Tao? That's why I don't want to see him care about other women?"

This thought made Ji Xinying open her eyes wide and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Looking back on the past, she found that she often went to chat with Dr. Tao, and would miss him if she didn't see him for a few days.

At first, she thought it was just because she didn't have many friends in the capital, and the only people she could talk to were Ye Yunzi and Doctor Tao. But now it seems that the situation is not that simple.

Doctor Tao is young and promising, with superb medical skills. In his daily life, he has nothing else to do except studying flowers and plants.

Thinking of Doctor Tao working hard in the medicine field, he has a handsome face, deep eyes when he is focused, and the colorful flowers around him further highlight his handsomeness.

This scene reappeared before her eyes. Ji Xinying's heartbeat became faster and faster, and her cheeks turned red involuntarily.

"Miss, we're here." The driver's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Ji Xinying got off the carriage in a daze, walked into the Marquis' Mansion, and returned to her boudoir, still at a loss.

She slapped her face, trying to dispel the image of Dr. Tao from her mind, but the more she did so, the clearer the face became.

"What's wrong, young lady? Why is your face so red?"

The maid looked at Ji Xinying worriedly and asked with concern, "Do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

"What? Doctor Tao... Doctor Tao?"

Ji Xinying raised her head abruptly, and her voice trembled when she spoke.

The little maid tilted her head, wondering: Who is Doctor Tao that the young lady just mentioned? She has never heard of him.

"Who is Doctor Tao? Do you want me to ask him to come over?" the little maid asked tentatively.

The Ji family usually invited Doctor Li from Tongrentang to treat their patients, so the little maid knew nothing about the mysterious Doctor Tao.

But since the young lady mentioned it, I'm sure that Dr. Tao must be a doctor with superb medical skills.

Ji Xinying came back to her senses and waved her hands quickly: "No need, I'm fine."

She was secretly upset and wondered what was wrong with her.

She actually misunderstood the maid's words as Doctor Tao, which was extremely embarrassing. Her face flushed red, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

When the maid saw this, she secretly felt that something was wrong with the young lady today, but she didn't say much.

In the general's mansion, Madam Rong paced anxiously in the hall. Today was an important day for her - Ling'er finally came out from the backyard to attend the flower-viewing banquet held in the palace.

The old maid saw the shadow of the carriage from afar and hurried over to report: "The young lady and the young master are back."

Madam Rong looked out quickly and saw Rong Wanling, looking pale, walking straight towards her yard without saying a word. Madam Rong called her, but she continued walking as if she didn't hear anything.

Mrs. Rong frowned and wondered, what happened to this child?

Then, Rong Mingxuan also walked in with a cold look on his face.

Madam Rong immediately stopped him and asked what happened in the palace. Rong Mingxuan said coldly: "Mother, please don't indulge her anymore. This will only harm the entire Rong family."

Mrs. Rong was stunned for a moment and asked what had happened.

Rong Mingxuan just told her to ask her sister herself, then turned and left.

Mrs. Rong was restless and immediately went to Rong Wanling's room to ask for details.

Rong Wanling was already feeling aggrieved, and when her mother asked her this, she couldn't stop crying.

"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you all blaming me?"

She cried and complained, "I just called Ye Yunzi over today and teased her a few times. Big brother is always thinking about her."

Having said this, she choked up and stopped talking.

"Mom, I really didn't do anything bad!" Rong Wanling looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, looking particularly aggrieved.

Mrs. Rong felt distressed when she saw this. She patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Ling'er, don't cry. Mother believes in you."

With her mother's comfort, Rong Wanling gradually stopped crying.

However, when the door closed and she was left alone, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

She smashed the vase beside her fiercely, but still not satisfied, she swept the teacups on the table to the floor.

"Ye Yunzi, I will never let you succeed!"

Thinking that Ye Yunzi might become her sister-in-law, Rong Wanling's face turned pale.

"That's impossible! I will never allow her to set foot in our house!"

But the reality is cruel. If the eldest brother insists on marrying Ye Yunzi, as he has the most say in the family, I am afraid no one can change his decision.

Fear and despair enveloped her, as if cold water was poured over her body, making her shiver uncontrollably.

"No, I have to think of a way to make Big Brother change his mind."

She secretly decided that as long as she found a woman who was more outstanding and beautiful than Ye Yunzi, she would be able to divert her elder brother's attention.

So, the next day she invited a close friend, Qi's youngest daughter, Yue, to visit.

Qi's father was a Hanlin scholar, so it would undoubtedly be a happy thing if the two families could get married.

When Rong Wanling saw the beautiful girl wearing a lavender dress, her eyes lit up.

"Xinyue, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

She asked with a smile, and at the same time keenly noticed that the color of the clothes that ** Yue specially chose was exactly the color that her eldest brother liked.

Facing Rong Wanling's joke, ** Yue lowered her head shyly: "I just wore it casually, there is no special meaning."

However, her hesitant expression and slightly flushed cheeks revealed the secret in her heart.

Rong Wanling smiled gently and pulled Xinyue into the house: "Xinyue, I actually know how you feel about your elder brother. You like him, don't you?"

**Yue's face turned red almost to the point of bleeding, she just lowered her head and played with her handkerchief, unable to deny it.
