Qi Zhiyuan was startled and quickly stopped him: "Young master, you can't! It's daytime now, and the people in Wanqinghou Mansion are talkative. If you go there rashly, it will only make Miss Gu's situation even more difficult."
"Then you go and tell Min'er the news and ask Miss Gu to come to my place. You go to the door to pick up Miss Gu... That's all, I'll pick her up myself." Zhou Mu didn't care much, he just wanted to know what Gu Xiyan was at this moment.
Is it okay?
Xu Zhiyuan thought this was a solution, so he went to deliver the news to Min'er.
Gu Xiyan, who was in Xiyuan, didn't know that Zhou Mu wanted to see her, until Min'er sneaked up to her, revealed her identity, and then conveyed Zhou Mu's intention.
Gu Xiyan subconsciously touched her red and swollen face, hesitating a little.
Min'er only knew that there was a conflict in Xiyuan, but she didn't know that Miss Gu had also been slapped.
"It's not good for me to see the Young Master like this now. How about I wait until I feel better before I go to see the Young Master?" Gu Xiyan hesitated.
Min'er was stunned for a moment and then said: "Girl, why don't you go see the young master? Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to the young master."
Moreover, she didn't understand everything. The young master didn't know that the girl's face was swollen like this. She was derelict in her duty.
Gu Xiyan felt that Xiyuan was really depressed. Anyway, her face was a little swollen. Wasn't that what she looked like when she first met Zhou Mu?
If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem to matter.
At that moment, she no longer hesitated, put on her curtain hat, and left the Hou Mansion accompanied by Qiushi. After making sure that no suspicious people were around to spot her, she entered the gate of Zhou's residence.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered Zhou's house, she saw Zhou Mu waiting at the door. He had been waiting like this for a while.
"Girl, are you okay?" Zhou Mu's fingertips were itchy and he wanted to take off Gu Xiyan's curtained hat, but he resisted.
Gu Xiyan took off her curtain hat, revealing half of her red and swollen face, "It's a slap in the face, it's okay!"
Zhou Mu was unprepared, and when he suddenly saw her red and swollen face, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
He stared hard at her red and swollen half of the face and wanted to say something, but his voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
Gu Xiyan had never seen Zhou Mu like this. His tight jawline showed that he was not in a good mood. Was it because the redness and swelling on her face made him worried?
"I just had some misunderstandings with my aunt and had some quarrels." She explained softly.
Only then did Zhou Mu realize his gaffe. He got closer to her and his voice couldn't help but become softer: "Does it hurt?"
"It won't hurt. You'll be fine in two days. It just looks a little scary, but actually it doesn't hurt at all." Gu Xiyan said, pulling the corner of her lips and smiling: "Isn't it a bit ugly?"
Zhou Mu's heart was filled with various emotions.
He wanted to chop off little Gu's hand at this moment. Gu Xiyan was his, how could little Gu dare?
When did Gu Xiyan become his?
This thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Mu's mind, causing his emotions to surge.
"Actually, the slap I received was not in vain." Gu Xiyan suddenly felt the desire to tell her story: "I knew clearly that His Majesty was playing matchmaker, and I also knew that Mr. Xu was a determined person, but I still allowed the situation to develop.
Like this, wouldn't the end result be that the third sister returned home injured and my aunt was angry? Maybe before I realized it, I secretly hoped that the third sister would also experience the feeling of being rejected. To be honest, I was not too
It’s uncomfortable. Because the humiliation I have suffered has also been experienced by my third sister.”
Therefore, the slap she received was not in vain, and she was not surprised by today's result.
The strange thing is that she is not afraid of letting Zhou Mu see her at her ugliest face and darkest mind.
"Master, do you think I'm bad?" Gu Xiyan asked.
Zhou Mu looked at her calmly, his eyes clear and distant: "People have three evils, anger, ignorance, and greed. It is rare for you to be able to be self-disciplined and self-respected after growing up in an environment like the Liu family. Human nature has many weaknesses, not just
You have it, and so do I. If you dare to face your own heart, you are much better than many people. Furthermore, if others don't let you down first, how can you let others down?"
If he had grown up in an environment like the Liu family, he might not have done better than Gu Xiyan.
He turned around and headed towards the main house: "Miss Gu, come here!"
Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Mu until she entered Zhou Mu's bedroom.
Zhou Mu pulled out a box of plasters and asked her to sit down, as if he was going to help her apply the plasters.
This made her a little uncomfortable: "I can do it myself."
Zhou Mu glanced at her and said in an unquestionable tone: "Sit tight and don't move."
Gu Xiyan immediately sat upright obediently, with her spine straight. Her well-behaved appearance was particularly endearing.
Zhou Mu thought to himself, how could Mr. Gu do something to such a well-behaved and sensible girl?
"Next time someone attacks you, you have to know how to avoid it and don't just tolerate it. Some evil people just like to bully little girls like you. You don't have to tolerate it." Zhou Mu applied ointment and rubbed it on Gu Xiyan's face.
superior.
At this moment, he also forgot about the protection between men and women, and just wanted to restore Gu Xiyan's red and swollen parts to their beautiful white color before.
"The incident happened suddenly and there was no time to hide. My aunt has been kind to me in nurturing me. To me, she is not a bad person." Gu Xiyan explained.
If it hadn't been for little Gu in these years, she wouldn't have lived a stable life, right?
Little Gu just habitually chooses her favorite biological daughter among Liu Junyan and her.
She was just once again the one who was given up in other people's choices.
"But that's not the reason for Mr. Gu to slap you." Zhou Mu only focused on talking to Gu Xiyan, and when he was applying the medicine, he accidentally touched her smooth cheek.
The smooth touch from his fingertips made his mind go blank for a moment, and then what flashed before his eyes was the scene after her last Chinese medicine...
Seeing Zhou Mu suddenly pause, Gu Xiyan asked doubtfully, "Have you finished applying the medicine, sir?"
When Zhou Mu woke up from a dream, he put the ointment into Gu Xiyan's hand: "When you go back, apply it three times a day, and the swelling and blood stasis will be reduced in one day."
Gu Xiyan took the ointment and said, "Thank you, sir."
She saw Zhou Mu hurriedly walking out, his steps a bit chaotic, and followed him curiously: "What's wrong with the young master?"
Instead, Zhou Mu quickened his pace and disappeared from her sight in an instant.
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but catch up again. She stayed on the spot with a confused look on her face, not understanding what was going on.
Seeing Zhou Mu leaving in a hurry, as if he was running away, was she wrong?
Not to mention that Gu Xiyan couldn't understand what happened, Qi Zhiyuan also stood there stupidly.
He only saw the young master coming out in a hurry, and then hurried away, leaving Miss Gu as his guest. What should he do?
Just when Qi Zhiyuan and Gu Xi were looking at each other, Nanny Yin appeared: "Young Master likes the cakes that I sent you last time. Can you teach me how to make them?"
