"Among the girls I have met so far, she is the most suitable for me. Since we are in love with each other, I will not give up easily."
Dong Yong still feels that it is a pity that he and Gu Xiyan could not settle down when they met at Xiangguo Temple, otherwise nothing would happen to Xu Yanqing later.
Xu Yanqing's phoenix eyes were dull, "If one day you meet a girl you like more, where would you care about her?"
"I only know that I have lived for eighteen years, and it is very rare that I meet a girl I am interested in. I feel very good when I see her. I want to talk to her more, and I want her to live happily. If one day
When I marry her, I will restrain myself and tell myself to treat her well for the rest of my life. There are so many good girls in the world, and I can't take every one of them home. People must know how to be content and happy." Dong Yong said this.
He is very serious and his expression is serious.
Xu Yanqing was dumbfounded for a moment, realizing that he was far less perceptive than Dong Yong.
He just didn't have the confidence to be good to Gu Xiyan for the rest of his life, and he was also afraid that he would meet someone he liked more in the future. In the final analysis, it was because he was not firm enough.
And his lack of firmness was noticed by Gu Xiyan, so she chose to stay away from him.
Unlike Dong Yong's cheerful face, Xu Yanqing's heart was very heavy.
When he returned to the official office, he happened to meet a man wearing a scarlet official robe. The moment he saw the man, Xu Yanqing's eyes lit up.
His own appearance was outstanding, and the young masters he interacted with either had great family backgrounds or had outstanding looks and temperament, but the young man in front of him still made him unable to take his eyes away.
The man has a slender figure, handsome face, picturesque eyebrows, elegant temperament, and impressive nobility.
"I have met Mr. Zhou." Xu Yanqing looked at Zhou Mu's official uniform and knew that this was the newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was a third-rank official.
He had heard of Zhou Mu's name before, but today was the second time he saw him.
He and Zhou Mu met for the first time next door to Wanqinghou Mansion.
"Master Xu, there is no need to be polite." Zhou Mu's eyes were cold as he passed by Xu Yanqing.
The moment they passed each other, Xu Yanqing's expression suddenly became stiff, and he suddenly blocked Zhou Mu's path: "What is the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Miss Gu?"
Zhou Mu slowed down and met Xu Yanqing's eyes.
"Why do you ask this?" Zhou Mu had confusion in his eyes.
Xu Yanqing thought that Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan were indeed acquainted. He did not answer but asked, "When did Mr. Zhou meet Miss Gu?"
He suddenly wondered if the reason why Gu Xiyan was not attracted to him was because she met Zhou Mu, who was more outstanding than him.
"Master Xu hasn't answered my question yet." Zhou Mu gradually released pressure.
"Miss Gu has a very special sandalwood scent, and I smelled it on Mr. Zhou just now." Xu Yanqing paused and then said, "Can Mr. Zhou answer my question?"
"I have not known Miss Gu for a long time. I only met her at the birthday party of Mrs. Wanqinghou Mansion. Furthermore, the sandalwood incense I was exposed to has nothing to do with Miss Gu. It is just a coincidence."
Zhou Mu rarely explained that he didn't want anyone to misunderstand that Gu Xiyan was having an affair with him, and Xu Yanqing was also the one Gu Xiyan fell in love with.
"It's a coincidence. Miss Gu has her own body fragrance, and Mr. Zhou is actually dyed with the same incense as Miss Gu. I believe that Miss Gu has a noble character, but if there are other people who don't know about it, I'm afraid it will affect Miss Gu.
Pure reputation." Xu Yanqing said seriously.
Zhou Mu was speechless for a moment.
He just had an illness and needed sandalwood to calm his nerves, but he never thought that someone would connect him with Gu Xiyan because of this unique sandalwood.
"Master Xu said it was my negligence." Zhou Mu said no more and walked away with graceful steps.
Xu Yanqing looked at Zhou Mu's back and was stunned for a long time.
He suddenly wanted to know where the sandalwood on Gu Xiyan's body came from, why it was so unique, and whether he could mix the same incense.
After that, he went to see Mai Shangshu and pretended to ask about Zhou Mu's origins casually.
"I don't know the origin of Zhou Shilang. I only know that it was the decree issued by His Majesty himself. When I first met Zhou Shilang, I thought I saw an immortal descending to earth. You didn't see Zhou Shilang wearing white clothes. Really?
Full of fairy spirit..." Maidong couldn't stop talking about Zhou Mu.
Xu Yanqing was thoughtful.
Zhou Mu's background is indeed strange. To be reused by His Majesty, he must have some special abilities.
Especially since Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan were old acquaintances, and they still used the same incense, he was even more curious about Zhou Mu.
The words are divided into two parts, Wanqinghou Mansion.
Liu Junyan walked for nearly three-quarters of an hour to return to the Hou Mansion. She had never walked such a long distance, and she was deeply resentful of Gu Xiyan. As soon as she returned to the Hou Mansion, she accused Mrs. Gu of
Xiyan’s various evil deeds.
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu became very angry. She took many of the servants from Manfang Garden with her, followed closely by Liu Junyan, and the group headed towards the West Garden in a mighty manner.
Min'er was sitting in a corner not far from Xiyuan and taking a nap. When she heard the footsteps of everyone approaching, the sleepy people immediately disappeared without a trace. She hid herself as quickly as possible.
Not long after, little Gu and Liu Junyan came to Xiyuan with their servants.
Mother Shen was standing guard at the door. When she saw a group of people coming, she hurriedly made a gesture to Qiushi.
Qiushi ran to Gu Xiyan and said, "Madam has brought people to kill you!"
Chunhua looked at Gu Xiyan nervously: "Girl, will we really be kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Gu Xiyan patted the back of her hand: "Don't be nervous, isn't it me?"
Whether she is in the Marquis Mansion or leaving, she will never leave the three people around her behind.
As early as the moment she drove Liu Junyan out of the carriage, she expected that Mr. Gu would come to trouble her, and she hoped that Mr. Gu would drive her out of the Hou Mansion in anger.
Even before the showdown with Xu Yanqing, she was already planning to leave the Hou Mansion.
Perhaps it should have been earlier, when little Gu called her to Manfang Garden and asked her to take Liu Junyan to go on a date with Xu Yanqing. At that time, she was tired of everything in the Hou Mansion.
Only she also understands that the old lady only cares about profit, and the Hou Mansion raised her. When she can realize her value, the Old Madam will never let her leave the Hou Mansion easily.
So she needs an opportunity, and today this opportunity has come. It depends on whether she can seize it.
Not to mention Chunhua being nervous, Gu Xiyan was a little nervous herself, but it wasn't a big problem.
Little Gu quickly rushed to Gu Xiyan with a group of servants.
Liu Junyan's eyes were still a little swollen, and she was looking at her coldly, with her usual high attitude.
"Sister Xi, why did you rush Jun Yan out of the carriage?!" As soon as little Gu rushed in, he shouted at Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan replied calmly: "My sister and I don't talk to each other. Sitting together again will only cause greater conflicts."
"Why didn't you get off the carriage yourself? She is a golden girl and your sister, how could you treat her like this?" Little Gu asked aggressively: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of driving her off the carriage?"
