Everyone present had different expressions when they heard this.
Does the Marquis want to raise Gu Xiyan as his biological daughter?
The old lady was used to the big world, and was shocked by Wan Qinghou's words.
She felt that Sister Xi was still valuable, so she might as well stay in the house. With Sister Xi's good looks, it would be easy to marry into a powerful family, and she might even enter the palace as a concubine in the future.
But she doesn't want her son to be so protective. Is there some hidden secret that she doesn't know about?
Little Gu was speechless. She never imagined that Marquis Wan Qing, who never cared about the affairs in the backyard, would actually touch her face in public.
Now that things have come to this, she can't drive him away, but she will have plenty of ways to teach Gu Xiyan in the future.
I don’t know if he guessed her thoughts, but then Wan Qinghou suddenly added: "Since there is an irresolvable conflict between Madam and Sister Xi, from today on, Sister Xi does not need to go to Manfang Garden for the time being.
Say hello to Madam!"
This eliminates the possibility of Mr. Gu venting his anger on Gu Xiyan.
There were many people present, but they were all silent.
Those who looked down on Gu Xiyan before could not help but think highly of her now. After all, the head of the family is protecting her.
The reason why Marquis Wan Qing made this confession was that he knew Zhou Mu valued Gu Xiyan.
He has been friends with Emperor Chengde for many years, and they were friends before Emperor Chengde became emperor. It can be said that the Liu family are loyal supporters of Emperor Chengde, even though several princes in the former emperor's period fought fiercely
, but the Wanqing Hou Mansion only regarded Emperor Chengde as the only successor to the throne.
It was precisely because the battle for the throne during the reign of the previous emperor was so fierce that Empress Shun Gong suffered the fate of becoming a victim of the battle for the throne.
At that time, Empress Shun Gong was pregnant with the emperor's eldest son Zhou Mu. She was poisoned late in the pregnancy and gave birth to Zhou Mu during the onset of the poison. Empress Shun Gong, who was still the Crown Princess at the time, tried her best to give birth to Zhou Mu, the child.
He died as soon as he was born.
Zhou Mu was dying when he was born, and all the imperial doctors and doctors were helpless. They all said that the child was out of breath and asked Emperor Chengde to express his condolences.
Just when Emperor Chengde was in despair, Master Mingjue suddenly appeared and said that Zhou Mu was destined to the Buddha and wanted to take Zhou Mu away.
When Zhou Mu was born, when dusk fell, Emperor Chengde hurriedly named the child "Mu".
Emperor Chengde reluctantly handed over the child to Master Mingjue. From then on, everyone thought Zhou Mu died on the day he was born.
After ascending the throne, the first thing Emperor Cheng De did was to posthumously title the deceased Crown Princess Empress Shun Gong, and then used thunderous tactics to eliminate all the three princes and their gang who had poisoned Empress Shun Gong at that time.
It was precisely because that battle was so brutal that Emperor Cheng De felt more guilty towards Zhou Mu. When Zhou Mu grew older, Emperor Cheng De loved Zhou Mu even more.
If Zhou Mu had not lived in Fallen Immortal Temple for many years, had an indifferent temperament, and had no desires, Emperor Chengde would not have placed all his hopes of inheriting the throne on the King of Qin.
Apart from Master Mingjue, the people who knew Zhou Mu's identity were Wan Qinghou and another insider.
Marquis Wan Qing often met Zhou Mu in the past, and his impression of Zhou Mu was always that of a calm and calm person. Such a person could not desire the throne.
It wasn't until Zhou Mu interacted with Gu Xiyan that his impression of Zhou Mu changed. It seemed that because of Sister Xi, Zhou Mu's popularity became more and more popular.
According to his understanding of Emperor Cheng De, Emperor Cheng De had the idea of according to Zhou Mu and Sister Xi.
As for the love lists that Emperor Cheng De set for Sister Xi, they were mostly intended to stimulate Zhou Mu to enlightenment.
If Zhou Mu was really interested in possessing Sister Xi, marrying a wife and having children, then Emperor Cheng De would not necessarily give the crown prince position to King Qin.
Furthermore, with Sister Chao's character, even if she becomes the Princess of Qin, she may not be able to control the King of Qin.
Instead of pinning the future hopes of the Hou Mansion on Sister Chao, he felt that Sister Xi had a better chance of winning.
After everyone else in Xiyuan had dispersed, Marquis Wan Qing said to Gu Xiyan: "Jun Yan was spoiled by her mother. She always thought she could get whatever she wanted. My uncle knew that she hated you for getting Xu San's attention.
, don’t argue with her. If she comes to make things difficult for you in the future, just tell your uncle and he will help you treat her."
Gu Xiyan didn't know whether Marquis Wan Qing really felt sorry for her, or if he was treating her with courtesy because of Zhou Mu. She thought it was probably the latter.
The Liu family was cold at heart, and she didn't dare to have high expectations for them.
"Xi Yan was too impulsive today. She shouldn't have left her sister on the street." Gu Xiyan knew that she still had to make a living in the Marquis Mansion, so she didn't want to offend Marquis Wan Qing, so she finally lowered her stance.
In fact, if she was given another chance to choose, she would still drive Liu Junyan out of the carriage.
"Son, my uncle has neglected you all these years. It is the Liu family that owes you. As a father, I also know what kind of temperament Jun Yan has. She is just too strong and always thinks that she can get whatever she wants.
But the human heart is the most uncontrollable." Wan Qinghou patted Gu Xiyan's shoulder and said sincerely: "I am not only your child's uncle, but also your uncle. I only hope that one day you can call me uncle."
Gu Xiyan didn't feel anything at all after hearing this.
Speaking of which, Wan Qinghou didn't take her seriously in these years, but at least Wan Qinghou never felt sorry for her. This is a rare tenderness in the Liu family.
"Today my uncle made a special trip to deal with Xi Yan's troubles. It's Xi Yan's fault. Xi Yan sent my uncle off." Gu Xiyan said softly.
Marquis Wan Qing asked her some more about her daily life before leaving Xiyuan, and then went to the old lady's Zaohui Hall.
The old lady had just sat down and was still thinking about Wan Qinghou's attitude towards Gu Xiyan. When she saw Wan Qinghou coming to Zaohui Hall, she knew that Wan Qinghou had something to say.
"Are you here for Sister Xi?" The old lady immediately guessed the purpose of Marquis Wan Qing's visit.
"My son said last time that the emperor's kindness is great, and this is no lie. In the future, mother should take more care of Xiyuan and not let Sister Xi feel resentful towards the Liu family. If Jun Yan and the others are not discerning, just teach them a lesson."
.Sister Xi must never leave the Hou Mansion. She will always be the eldest daughter of the Liu family. This is the attitude of the son!" Marquis Wan Qing looked particularly solemn.
The old lady has long passed the age of curiosity, but she still couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Is there any secret about Sister Xi? Is it related to the royal family? You should tell me about it."
Marquis Wan Qing shook his head and said, "My son can't say anything. As long as mother knows that Sister Xi is capable, we still don't know what kind of fortune she will have in the future. This is what my son has to say. I hope my mother can listen."
The old lady thought about it secretly for a while, but she still didn't understand: "Sister Chao has discussed the marriage with His Highness King Qin. His Highness King Qin treated Sister Chao very well. With Sister Chao here, and His Highness King Qin's face in front of His Majesty, Xi
No matter what good fortune I have, I can't surpass Sister Chao, right?"
It can't be that His Majesty has taken a fancy to Sister Xi.
But she thought it was impossible because His Majesty specially prepared the list for Sister Xi, and it was impossible for His Majesty to have that kind of care for Sister Xi.
