What he dislikes the most is that everyone in the Liu family is cold, and he doesn't like the fact that they treat Gu Xiyan poorly. Fortunately, the Liu family is also transparent, and Wan Qinghou in front of him knows how good Gu Xiyan is.
"I really want to marry her as soon as possible. But the Marquis also knows my health, and I still have worries, fearing that I will hurt her when I get sick. My plan is to cure myself even if I seek famous doctors in the world, and then I will be able to heal myself."
I'm worried. I just keep her waiting for me, and she doesn't know what I'm thinking. I'm just afraid..."
Zhou Mu was afraid that Gu Xiyan wouldn't be able to wait, and he was even more afraid that Gu Xiyan would marry another man.
He wanted to cure his disease in the shortest possible time, but he also knew that things were unpredictable. If he could not cure himself, and she had to waste time on herself, it would be unfair to Gu Xiyan.
Of course Wan Qinghou understood Zhou Mu's illness, and he also understood Zhou Mu's concerns.
It's really unreasonable to just keep Sister Xi waiting.
"Has Your Highness ever thought about settling down with Sister Xi first, and then coming to visit a famous doctor?" Wan Qinghou asked tentatively.
Zhou Mu's eyes were distant: "I have thought about it, but I found that my emotions are easily fluctuated by Miss Gu. I am afraid that I will suddenly get sick while getting along with her. She is also a weak woman with no strength. If my consciousness is chaotic,
Sometimes he kills her, how can he do it?"
It was about Gu Xiyan's life, so he didn't dare to gamble.
Wan Qinghou felt the same at this moment, because he also had a beloved woman, and that was He.
Because of her low status, Mrs. He could only become his concubine. Over the years, although Mrs. He was still his favorite, her resentment towards him became deeper and deeper.
Mrs. He complained that he was not dedicated enough, she also blamed him for marrying the younger Mr. Gu, and she even resented that their daughter Huiyan could only be a concubine.
The love between men and women in this world is most inexplicable.
Now that I think about it, the relationship between His Highness and Sister Xi may not be smooth, but His Highness is sincere to Sister Xi, so he will plan for Sister Xi in every way.
"His Highness is so attentive to Sister Xi, it is Sister Xi's blessing. I will explain that if someone comes to propose marriage to Sister Xi in the past two years, the Marquis Mansion will definitely reject it. Your Highness, please be more considerate of Sister Xi.
, Don’t keep Sister Xi waiting for too long." Marquis Wan Qing did not want to be aggressive, so he changed the subject and said: "His Highness rarely comes to the Hou Mansion, do you want to meet Sister Xi?"
Zhou Mu really wanted to see Gu Xiyan, but when he thought about this moment, he hesitated.
Seeing this, Marquis Wan Qing saw through Zhou Mu's thoughts and took it upon himself to say, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will send someone to invite Sister Xi to come over."
Zhou Mu didn't refuse, so Wan Qinghou knew he had done the right thing.
Gu Xiyan herself did not expect that Marquis Wan Qing would suddenly see her in the study at this hour.
Qiushi carried a lantern and accompanied her.
When they were about to reach the study, Qiushi suddenly whispered: "Just now, I seem to have seen the fourth girl hiding there."
Gu Xiyan looked in the direction pointed by Qiushi.
The sky was dark, and the ram's horn lantern hanging on the corridor emitted a dim light, unable to remove all the darkness. Only two people could be vaguely seen standing at the corner.
"Can you see clearly it's the fourth sister?" Gu Xiyan asked in a low voice.
"It's the fourth girl. She looks sneaky. I don't know what she is doing. Could it be that she wants to harm the girl?" Qiushi was a little worried.
Gu Xiyan was calm: "My fourth sister and I have no conflict of interest. I really can't think of any reason why she would harm me."
"Because the girl is beautiful, pure and kind. Who among the girls in the Liu family wouldn't be jealous of such a good girl?" Qiushi thought this was the ugliness of human nature.
Gu Xiyan did not continue to discuss this topic. She was more curious about why Wan Qinghou wanted to come to her at this time.
When she saw the man standing in front of the study, she slowed down.
Was it Zhou Mu's intention that Marquis Wan Qing come to her?
"Is the girl here?" Zhou Mu saw Gu Xiyan and walked forward.
Although he couldn't marry her right away, he could make her fall in love with him, and let her understand his feelings for her.
He just doesn't know how to please a woman, so he can only explore slowly.
Qi Zhiyuan winked at Qiushi who was standing there, but he was surprised that Qiushi was inconspicuous and remained motionless.
He simply went to Qiushi, kicked her, and then pointed forward, so Qiushi walked further away from Qi Zhiyuan without worry.
But she was still worried and kept looking back at her girl.
Qi Zhiyuan looked forward and whispered: "Don't worry, my young master will not do anything to your girl."
Even if the young master wants to take action against Miss Gu, he can't do it now.
Qiushi was a little worried: "My girl hasn't left the government yet. Isn't it bad to always meet with your son alone?"
Doesn't this harm our reputation?
Although Mr. Zhou has no intentions towards the girl, and Mr. Zhou doesn’t look like he wants to cheat on the girl, people’s words are scary, aren’t they?
"What's wrong? Master, if you want to tell your girl, let's stay away from each other." Qi Zhiyuan disagreed.
"Have you noticed that your young master and my girl have met too many times recently?" Qiushi was still uneasy.
Qi Zhiyuan sneered in his heart, who could say otherwise?
The young master wishes he could put Miss Gu in his pocket, so that he can take it out and take a look at it whenever he wants.
He replied innocently: "Really? I don't know."
"Why not? We've only met twice today, and once again yesterday. Isn't this not frequent?" Qiushi's voice suddenly increased.
Qi Zhiyuan glared at Qiushi coldly: "Keep your voice down!"
Qiushi shut up obediently and stopped: "I'm still worried. I can't stay too far away from my girl, so I'm just standing here."
On that side, Gu Xiyan walked up to Zhou Mu and said, "Is it the young master who is looking for me?"
"I came here to discuss things with the Marquis, but the Marquis took it upon himself to invite you over." Zhou Mu passed the blame to Wan Qinghou.
Thanks to the cover of night, Gu Xiyan couldn't see the reddish tips of his ears.
Gu Xiyan believed it to be true: "Uncle, it is indeed unnecessary. Yes, is there anything important for the young master to come to the Marquis Mansion at this time...?"
She felt that she had asked a question she shouldn't have asked.
"I just said a few words casually."
Zhou Mu was so close to the girl in front of him that he could smell the faint sandalwood scent from her body, lingering on the tip of his nose.
It was also accompanied by the light sweet fragrance of her body, like sugar turning into substance, wrapping him in it bit by bit, making him feel at ease and slightly scented.
He felt a bit like a poisoned patient, and Gu Xiyan was his antidote. He was close to her every day, but she knew nothing about his dirty thoughts.
Gu Xiyan was not a talkative person, and she felt that she and Zhou Mu had nothing in common, so they became silent for a while, but she did not feel embarrassed.
It seemed that when she was with Zhou Mu, she could feel at ease even if she didn't speak.
"The autumn night is a bit cold, and the girl is wearing too few clothes." Zhou Mu broke the silence.
"I'm not cold." Seeing how windy it was outside, Gu Xiyan asked, "Master, are you cold? Do you want to go inside and sit down?"
