With a plan in mind and an escape route figured out, Gu Xiyan finally calmed down.
She still remembered the year when Liu Shu was trying to drive her out of the house. She could never forget the panic and fear she felt at that time in her life.
She was afraid of living on the streets, and even more afraid of being homeless. Those were the days when she felt most insecure.
Now that she has grown up, she has nothing to fear in her heart even if she is kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Compared with the tranquility and tranquility of Xiyuan, Dongyuan is shrouded in gloom and mist.
Liu Junyan finally stopped crying, but she still felt uncomfortable.
When little Gu saw her beloved daughter haggard like this, her resentment towards Gu Xiyan became even deeper.
"Jun Yan, don't feel bad. There are so many good men in the capital, which one is not better than Mr. Xu?" Little Gu took hold of Liu Junyan's catkins and consoled her.
Liu Junyan smiled sadly: "But I just like Xu Yanqing!"
The first time she saw Xu Yanqing, she was instantly moved. But she never expected that Xu Yanqing, like other ordinary people, was interested in lust, and he would actually fall in love with Gu Xiyan, whom she usually looked down on the most.
"Xu San's status is not worthy of you, why do you bother-"
"Why is he not worthy of me? He is only eighteen this year, and he is already the head of the Ministry of Finance and Gyeonggi Province. He is also talented. He is handsome and handsome, but he does not mess with women. Even now, the backyard is clean. This point
, even my father can't do it." Liu Junyan couldn't see little Gu saying that her sweetheart was not good, so she retorted coldly.
When little Gu thought of Marquis Wan Qing's concubines having intercourse with each other, her heart felt like a big stone was weighing on her.
Which man in this world doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? His daughter is still too idealistic.
Little Gu said as someone who had come from the past: "Xu San has not married yet, but it does not mean that he will not take concubines after getting married. You don't understand the bad nature of men. They have always changed their minds when they see different things -"
"My mother was not doing well, so she used herself to save others. Xu Yanqing was different from other men, so I fell in love with him and liked him! Mother, I have made up my mind, I must marry him!!" Liu Junyan suddenly
Righteous way.
Little Gu's heart froze. Thinking of the scene at Xiangguo Temple, she still felt a little hesitant: "But Xu San is lame-eyed and he is thinking of your sister. Why did you offend her?"
Liu Junyan shook her head: "Xu Yanqing was just fascinated by my sister's face. He is not such a superficial man. I think I can do all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't believe that I can't catch his eye. As long as you give me a chance to get along with him,
He will fall for me."
She really didn't know what else about Gu Xiyan could fascinate Xu Yanqing besides her face.
Based on her understanding of Xu Yanqing, he was not that tacky man who only valued beauty.
And she knew Gu Xiyan, who had shrunk for more than ten years, hiding in a corner where she could not see the light, and developed a cowardly temperament. This was the reason why a woman who could not stand up to the stage would be divorced by Zhou Xing before getting married.
Even Zhou Xing despises Gu Xiyan. Xu Yanqing has a better personality than Zhou Xing, so how can he really like Gu Xiyan? It's just a temporary obsession.
When little Gu saw Liu Junyan's firm expression, she suddenly felt heartbroken.
She felt that her daughter was possessed by a demon, so Xu Sansan obviously didn't take her daughter seriously. Why should the child be so stubborn?
"I just want to marry Xu Yanqing, mother, help me!" Liu Junyan said firmly, expressing her position again.
"Maybe Xu San doesn't like you, he doesn't even want to see you, why do you want to be so mean to yourself?" Little Gu is someone who has experienced this, and knows very well that if a man doesn't like you, no matter what you do, it will be in vain.
When she first married into the Marquis Mansion, she still hoped that Marquis Wan Qing would like her, but later she found out that his heart had been seduced by Aunt He.
So who is Aunt He? I heard that she used to be the girl next to Wan Qinghou, but later climbed into bed. She was originally a slave and could only be a lowly maidservant who lived with him, but later she was forced to become an aunt by Wanqinghou.
She had fought over him, but Marquis Wan Qing was getting further and further away from her, and later she looked away. She was a noble lady, why should she bother with a lowly concubine? That would be a loss of status.
No matter how favored Aunt He is, she can't surpass her, a serious lady, a concubine will always be a concubine, nothing more than a thing that can't be put on the stage.
"If he doesn't see me, doesn't he still want to see my sister? Wouldn't it be enough to lure him into the Marquis' Mansion?" Liu Junyan's lips curved in a sarcastic arc.
Little Gu sighed softly: "I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
"I won't regret it. If I give up without trying, I will definitely regret it." Liu Junyan said solemnly: "Why don't you send a note to your uncle's house today and invite Xu Yanqing in the name of your father first to see if he comes?
Come to the Marquis Mansion. If he doesn’t come and invites you again in the name of sister, I won’t believe that Xu San can’t be invited!”
Little Gu didn't persuade her anymore and planned to let Liu Junyan give it a try.
After Mrs. Qi Anbo received the invitation, she handed it to Xu Yanqing: "Son, you make up your own mind."
Xu Yanqing accepted the invitation in the name of Marquis Wan Qing, so he would naturally go on this trip.
Even if this was Liu Junyan's intention, he still wanted to enter the Hou Mansion to see Gu Xiyan.
After receiving this invitation, Xu Yanqing had a rare and peaceful sleep.
He specially arranged his holiday with his colleagues and went to the Marquis Mansion early the next morning.
He took the lead in going to the study to meet Marquis Wan Qing. Marquis Wan Qing's attitude was no different from before. He regarded him as an old friend and was quite friendly to him.
While the two were having a lively chat, Liu Junyan came in with tea.
She wore exquisite makeup today, with a classic face and big, bright eyes. If you didn't compare her with Gu Xiyan, her appearance was indeed outstanding.
She is petite and has a smile on her face. How can she still be as heartbroken as yesterday?
Liu Junyan observed carefully. Even if she saw the emotion of dislike for her on Xu Yanqing's face, she was mentally prepared.
Unfortunately, Xu Yanqing just took the tea cup from her and didn't look at her.
His face didn't show any likes or dislikes, and such a dull emotion was the greatest humiliation to her.
Xu Yanqing didn't care about Liu Junyan's mood. After chatting with Marquis Wan Qing, he explained his intention: "Can the Marquis send someone to ask Miss Gu to come? I have something to ask Miss Gu."
Marquis Wan Qing had long noticed that Xu Yanqing was absent-minded. He glanced at his daughter, who was pale, and said with a slightly restrained expression, "Of course it's okay..."
"Father, I happen to be free, shall I invite my sister over?" Liu Junyan suddenly interrupted.
Marquis Wan Qing took a deep look at Liu Junyan. His daughter was so stubborn. She was obviously very sad, but she still showed off her strength.
"That's fine, go and come back as soon as possible." Marquis Wan Qing agreed happily.
Liu Junyan didn't know how she felt. When she walked out of the study, she realized that her hands were trembling.
Xu Yanqing really didn't save any face for her. He wanted to find Gu Xiyan in front of her and her father. Wasn't this like stamping her face on the ground?
It happened that she still wanted to torture herself, so she took this job.
