Gu Xiyan thought to herself that if Jiang Fan hid it well, wouldn't it be normal for Jiang Zhou not to notice Jiang Fan's affection? This is not necessarily because Jiang Zhou is careless, right?
But seeing that Zhou Mu seemed to dislike Jiang Zhou very much, she wisely stopped defending Jiang Zhou.
Anyway, it was Zhou Mu who picked her out, and it was Aunt Yin who took her to see her. Now she was completely rejected by Zhou Mu. It may be that Zhou Mu's vision is too high, not that Jiang Zhou is not good enough.
Zhou Mu saw Gu Xiyan lightly pursed her pink lips and said nothing, her eyes were dark and her voice was a little low: "Does the girl like Jiang Zhou like this?"
Gu Xiyan quickly glanced at Zhou Mu: "No, I just think Master Jiang is not that bad..."
Seeing Zhou Mu looking at her with disapproval, she chose to shut up: "Young Master, are you telling me this? Then I understand, I will just refuse Master Jiang."
In fact, she quite liked Mother Jiang. The moment she saw Mother Jiang, she wondered if her mother would look at her with such kind eyes if she were still alive.
She also thought that if she married into such a family, her life would be ordinary but warm, and that would be the life she longed for.
"That's right, there are many good men in the world, but someone like Jiang Zhou is not worthy of you!" Zhou Mu felt happy when he saw Gu Xiyan relent.
Gu Xiyan had no objection and said yes in a low voice.
Zhou Mu saw her hanging her head and thought she really fell in love with Jiang Zhou.
That strange and unfamiliar emotion welled up in his heart again, perhaps it was something called jealousy.
"Girl, don't meet Jiang Zhou again. I asked Nanny Yin to go to Jiang's house."
She cannot be allowed to meet Jiang Zhou again in the future.
"But according to the young master's instructions. The young master has to go back to the Yamen for duty in the afternoon, and he is going to rest for a while. I will also go back." Gu Xiyan said goodbye.
Zhou Mu had no reason to stay, so he sent Gu Xiyan to her doorstep.
At this time, Qi Zhiyuan suddenly appeared and said to Gu Xiyan's back: "Miss Gu, come and play again next time!"
Gu Xiyan subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu, fearing that Zhou Mu would be unhappy.
Zhou Mu looked at her steadily, with a calm expression: "If you feel that the Marquis Mansion is boring, you can come to me and I will take you to horse racing when I have time."
Gu Xiyan felt flattered and responded hurriedly: "Young master, there is no need to see you off. Let's go have a lunch break first."
She quickened her pace and entered the Marquis' Mansion, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Why is Zhou Mu's attitude different this time? Is it because he knows what happened that day when he was drunk and feels guilty towards her again?
Gu Xiyan had just returned to the Hou Mansion this time, and Zhou Mu called Nanny Yin to him and asked her to go to Jiang's house immediately, but declined the visit.
"Are we going to Jiang's house now?" Grandma Yin felt there was no need to be in such a hurry.
"Go ahead, so as not to misunderstand the Jiang family. Also, give Jiang Zhou a hint to let him know Jiang Fan's thoughts about him." Zhou Mu ordered Nanny Yin.
Qi Zhiyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, "Do you want to marry Miss Jiang and Master Jiang?"
Could it be that the young master is addicted to matchmaking? Not only does he want to arrange a marriage for Miss Gu, but he also wants to arrange a marriage for Miss Gu's lover?
Zhou Mu glanced at Aunt Yin, and she shut up.
Following Zhou Mu's order, Nanny Yin had no choice but to make a temporary trip to Jiang's house.
Qi Zhiyuan followed Zhou Mu and asked: "The Jiang family has rejected it, so should we arrange a new date for Miss Gu?"
Zhou Mu looked at Qi Zhiyuan, Qi Zhiyuan didn't know why, and he didn't understand what the young master's look meant.
"Do you think Young Master Dong is better? Maybe you can find another opportunity and arrange for Young Master Dong and Miss Gu to see each other again?" Qi Zhiyuan asked again cautiously.
Zhou Mu lightly curled her thin lips: "You really like being a matchmaker."
Qi Zhiyuan heard the irony in the young master's words and almost wanted to retort, it is obviously the young master who likes to be a matchmaker for Miss Gu, right?
He is just worried about the young master's worries and anxious about the young master's urgent needs.
"Miss Gu is getting older, so we really need to pay close attention to her." Qi Zhiyuan whispered back.
Zhou Mu's eyes grew cold: "Miss Gu is only sixteen, why are you so old? You are much older than Miss Gu, why don't you feel old?"
Qi Zhiyuan was speechless by Zhou Mu. He admitted his mistake with a stony face: "Young Master said, it was my subordinate's fault. Miss Gu is still a little girl. She is not in a hurry to get married, let alone see each other. The future is slow.
If you choose slowly and search carefully, you will always find a good husband that you are happy with."
It was you yourself who was eager to find a marriage partner for Miss Gu.
Zhou Mu felt that Qi Zhiyuan finally said something humane.
"I'm going to take a break." Zhou Mu said and left Qi Zhiyuan.
When he returned to the dormitory, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was drunk that day. It was in front of this closet. Gu Xiyan asked him to take off his wet clothes. He was unwilling to do it. In the end, Gu Xiyan took it off for him.
Later I changed into a set of dry clothes...
He stood still for a while, recalling all the scenes.
It turned out that those were not his dreams, it was him being frivolous about Miss Gu again.
After lying back on the bed, he remembered the scene where he fell asleep holding Gu Xiyan.
Just because he had had that shameful dream before, when he woke up that day, he thought it was just another dream like that.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew how different Gu Xiyan was to him.
At first, he sincerely wanted to help Gu Xiyan and hoped that she would get married as soon as possible, so that Zhou Xing would not be able to attack Gu Xiyan again.
The development of the incident was beyond his expectation. He never thought that in the subsequent contacts, he would be messed up again and again.
Now, how could he watch her fall into the arms of other men as if nothing had happened?
Qi Zhiyuan was waiting outside, waiting only for the time to wake up his young master.
But after a while, the young master came out of the bedroom.
"Young Master, have you just woken up?" Qi Zhiyuan stepped forward and asked.
"Go to the Yamen." Zhou Mu looked calm.
Qi Zhiyuan has served Zhou Mu for these years, and naturally he can see that the young master is not as calm as he seems on the surface.
"Young Master doesn't take a lunch break, but you have something on your mind?" Qi Zhiyuan asked.
Zhou Mu didn't answer the call, which was his acquiescence.
"If you have something on your mind, please don't keep it to yourself. You might as well find someone to talk to. By the way, you might as well discuss it with Miss Gu." Qi Zhiyuan felt that he had a good idea.
Zhou Mu was a little impatient at this time: "I think you can shut up."
His worries were related to Gu Xiyan, so Zhiyuan asked him to discuss it with Gu Xiyan? It turned out to be a piece of cake.
Qi Zhiyuan shut his mouth obediently.
At this time, Cai Yu came over and said to Zhou Mu: "Wan Qinghou is waiting in the secret room at the moment, asking to see the young master."
Zhou Mu was about to go back to the official office to work on errands when he heard these words and went to the secret room.
Wan Qinghou couldn't rest in peace because of what happened last night. His heart couldn't rest until he saw Zhou Mu.
When he saw the door to the secret room opened, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I was derelict in my duty and failed to take care of the house in the backyard, so I asked His Highness to take action..."
