Gu Xiyan thought to herself that if Jiang Fan hid it well, wouldn't it be normal for Jiang Zhou not to notice Jiang Fan's affection? This may not necessarily be because Jiang Zhou is careless
But seeing that Zhou Mu seemed to dislike Jiang Zhou very much, she wisely stopped defending Jiang Zhou.
Anyway, it was Zhou Mu who picked her out, and it was Aunt Yin who took her to see her. Now she was completely rejected by Zhou Mu. Maybe it’s because Zhou Mu’s vision is too high, not because Jiang Zhou is not good enough.
Zhou Mu saw Gu Xiyan lightly pursed her pink lips and said nothing, her eyes were dark and her voice was a little low: "That's how the girl likes Jiang Zhou"
Gu Xiyan quickly glanced at Zhou Mu: "No, I just think Master Jiang is not that bad..."
Seeing Zhou Mu looking at her with disapproval, she chose to shut up: "Master, are you telling me this? Then I know, I will just refuse Mr. Jiang."
In fact, she quite liked Mother Jiang. The moment she saw Mother Jiang, she wondered if her mother would look at her with such kind eyes if she were still alive.
She also thought that if she married into such a family, her life would be dull but warm, and that would be the life she longed for.
"That's right, there are many good men in the world, but someone like Jiang Zhou is not worthy of you!" Zhou Mu felt happy when he saw Gu Xiyan relent.
Gu Xiyan had no objection and kept her voice low.
Zhou Mu saw her hanging her head and thought she really fell in love with Jiang Zhou.
That unfamiliar and strange emotion welled up in his heart again, perhaps it was something called jealousy.
"Girl, please don't meet Jiang Zhou again. I asked Nanny Yin to go to Jiang's house."
She cannot be allowed to meet Jiang Zhou again.
"But according to the young master's instructions. The young master has to go back to the Yamen for duty in the afternoon and go to rest for a while. I will also go back." Gu Xiyan said goodbye.
Zhou Mu had no reason to stay, so he sent Gu Xiyan to her doorstep.
At this time, Qi Zhiyuan suddenly appeared and said to Gu Xiyan's back: "Miss Gu, come and play again next time!"
Gu Xiyan subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu, fearing that Zhou Mu would be unhappy.
Zhou Mu looked at her steadily, with a calm expression: "If you feel that the Marquis Mansion is boring, you can come to me and I will take you to horse racing when I have time."
Gu Xiyan felt flattered and hurriedly responded: "Young master, there is no need to see you off. Let's go have a lunch break first."
She quickened her pace and breathed a sigh of relief after entering the Marquis' Mansion.
Why is Zhou Mu's attitude different this time? Is it because he knows what happened that day when he was drunk and feels guilty towards her again?
Gu Xiyan had just returned to the Hou Mansion this time, and Zhou Mu called Nanny Yin to him and asked her to go to Jiang's house immediately, but declined the visit.
"Are we going to Jiang's house now?" Grandma Yin felt there was no need to be in such a hurry.
"Go ahead, so as not to misunderstand the Jiang family. Also, give Jiang Zhou a hint to let him know what Jiang Fan thinks about him." Zhou Mu ordered Aunt Yin.
Qi Zhiyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, "Do you want to marry Miss Jiang and Master Jiang?"
Could it be that the young master is addicted to matchmaking? Not only does he want to help Miss Gu arrange a marriage, but even the person Miss Gu is attracted to wants to arrange a marriage.
Zhou Mu glanced at Aunt Yin, and she shut up.
Following Zhou Mu's order, Nanny Yin had no choice but to make a temporary trip to Jiang's house.
Qi Zhiyuan followed Zhou Mu and asked: "The Jiang family has rejected it, so why don't we arrange a new date for Miss Gu?"
Zhou Mu looked at Qi Zhiyuan. Qi Zhiyuan didn't know why, and he didn't understand what the young master's look meant.
"Young master, do you think Mr. Dong is better? Perhaps we can find another opportunity and arrange for Mr. Dong and Miss Gu to see each other again?" Qi Zhiyuan asked cautiously.
Zhou Mu lightly raised her thin lips: "You really like being a matchmaker."
Qi Zhiyuan heard the irony in the young master's words and almost wanted to retort, it's obvious that the young master likes to be a matchmaker for Miss Gu, right?
He is just worried about the young master's worries and anxious about the young master's urgent needs.
"Miss Gu is getting older, so we really need to pay close attention to you." Qi Zhiyuan whispered back.
Zhou Mu's eyes grew colder: "Miss Gu is only sixteen, why are you so old? You are so much older than Miss Gu, why don't you feel old?"
Qi Zhiyuan was speechless by Zhou Mu. He admitted his mistake with a stony face: "Young Master said, it was my subordinate's fault. Miss Gu is still a little girl. She is not in a hurry to get married, let alone see each other. The future is slow.
If you choose slowly and search carefully, you will always find a good husband that you are happy with."
You were the one who was eager to find a marriage partner for Miss Gu at the beginning.
Zhou Mu felt that Qi Zhiyuan finally said something humane.
"I'm going to take a break." Zhou Mu said and left Qi Zhiyuan.
When he returned to the dormitory, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was drunk that day. It was in front of this closet. Gu Xiyan asked him to take off his wet clothes. He was unwilling to do it. In the end, Gu Xiyan took it off for him.
Later I changed into a set of dry clothes...
He stood still for a while, recalling all the scenes.
It turns out that those dreams were not his, but that he was frivolous about Miss Gu again.
After lying back on the bed, he remembered the scene where he fell asleep holding Gu Xiyan.
Just because he had had that shameful dream before, when he woke up that day, he thought he had just had that dream again.
No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he knew how different Gu Xiyan was to him.
At the beginning, he sincerely wanted to help Gu Xiyan and hoped that she would get married as soon as possible, so that Zhou Xing would no longer be able to attack Gu Xiyan.
The development of the incident was beyond his expectation. He never thought that in the subsequent contacts, he would be messed up again and again.
Now, how could he watch her fall into the arms of other men as if nothing had happened
Qi Zhiyuan is waiting outside, waiting for the time to wake up his young master.
But after a while, the young master came out of the dormitory.
"Master, have you woken up yet?" Qi Zhiyuan stepped forward and asked.
"Go to the Yamen." Zhou Mu looked calm.
Qi Zhiyuan has served Zhou Mu for these years, and he naturally realizes that the princess is not as calm and peaceful as she appears on the surface.
"Master, you don't have a lunch break, but you have something on your mind," Qi Zhiyuan asked.
Zhou Mu didn't answer the call, which was the default meaning.
"If you have something on your mind, please don't keep it to yourself. You might as well find someone to talk to. By the way, you might as well discuss it with Miss Gu." Qi Zhiyuan felt that he had a good idea.
Zhou Mu was a little impatient at this time: "I think you can shut up."
His worries were related to Gu Xiyan, so Zhiyuan asked him to discuss it with Gu Xiyan, which turned out to be a big deal.
Qi Zhiyuan shut his mouth obediently.
At this time, Aunt Yin came over and said to Zhou Mu: "Wan Qinghou is waiting in the secret room at the moment, asking to see the young master."
Zhou Mu was about to go back to the government office to work when he heard these words and went to the secret room.
Marquis Wan Qing could not rest in peace because of what happened last night, and his heart would not be able to rest until he saw Zhou Mu.
When he saw the door to the secret room opened, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I was derelict in my duty and failed to take care of the house in the backyard, so I asked His Highness to take action..."
