"It's better for Miss Gu to stay away from the young master. This is for the good of the young master. Maybe when the young master recovers one day, the young master and the girl can be together." Aunt Yin sighed softly, feeling very heavy.

Qi Zhiyuan sighed: "Miss Gu doesn't know anything, she only knows that the young master is eager to marry her off. Besides, Miss Gu is already sixteen, how can any girl wait endlessly?"
Aunt Yin remained silent, feeling that the young master was really pitiful.
Just when the two of them sighed, Zhou Mu came over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The two of them replied in unison: "I didn't do anything."
"Zhiyuan, please send a message to Min'er and ask Miss Gu to come over. I have something to tell Miss Gu." Zhou Mu ordered quietly.
Qi Zhiyuan subconsciously looked at Aunt Yin. After the two of them made eye contact, Aunt Yin replied: "Young Master just got sick, so it's better not to see outsiders. Besides, Miss Gu is a noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she spends all day with other men."
Running away from home is against etiquette. If outsiders know about it, it will also affect Miss Gu's reputation."
Zhou Mu just looked at Grandma Yin like this. The look in her eyes was not very sharp, but it made Grandma Yin breathless.
"I thought Grandma had never regarded Miss Gu as an outsider." Zhou Mu noticed the change in Grandma Yin's mood from what she just said.
Nanny Yin glanced at Qi Zhiyuan out of the corner of her eye, wanting him to say a word for help.
Qi Zhiyuan, however, was heartless. He pretended not to see her cry for help and just stood aside in silence.
"Can't I ask you to do something?" Zhou Mu looked at Qi Zhiyuan.
"My subordinate is going to deliver the news to Min'er right now. Master, please wait a moment." Qi Zhiyuan just left Aunt Yin behind.
Aunt Yin stared at Qi Zhiyuan's back, thinking that this was a failure.
"Does Grandma have some misunderstanding about Miss Gu?" Zhou Mu's eyes fell on Grandma Yin's face.
Mammy is his nanny. When he is twenty years old, mama is the woman closest to him.
He regards his grandma as a relative and a respected elder.
Aunt Yin shook her head: "Miss Gu is very good."
It's so good that even a cold-blooded person like the Young Master is moved. But in a situation like the Young Master's, it would be better not to be moved, so that you can grow old in peace.
Gu Xiyan's change happened out of thin air. She was only worried about whether this change would affect the rest of his life.
"I also think Miss Gu is very good. Miss Gu grew up stumblingly in the Hou Mansion, and there are too few people who are nice to her. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, grandma can treat her well." Zhou Mu looked solemn.
Seeing how cautious her master was, Aunt Yin finally gave up her struggle: "The young master values a girl. How could I not value the young master? Don't worry, I will treat Miss Gu as my master."
As long as the young master and Miss Gu are happy when they get along, nothing else matters.
The young master has always done things in a measured way, and he must have seen the consequences of interacting with Miss Gu.
After Min'er received the news from the next door, she told Gu Xiyan.
"Are you sure it's the young master who wants to see me?" Gu Xiyan felt incredible.
Didn't we just meet her? Why did Zhou Mu want to see her again?
"Of course I'm sure, it was the master's personal order." Min'er said and asked, "Miss, do you want to change into a set of more glamorous clothes before going over?"
Although Miss Gu is good-looking, she is too plainly dressed and doesn’t even wear a headband.
At Miss Gu's age and born into such a noble family, she should be well-dressed.
"I'm not in good shape, am I?" Gu Xiyan turned back and looked at Qiushi.
Qiushi smiled and answered: "A girl looks good even if she wears a rag."
"Aren't you going to meet the young master? Don't you need to dress up?" Min'er almost didn't say directly, that person is His Highness.
With such a distinguished status, such magnanimity, and such peerless appearance, has Miss Gu never thought about getting the young master?
Gu Xiyan was completely unaware of Min'er's thoughts. She only said: "It is precisely because I want to meet the young master that I don't need to dress up deliberately. The young master is not a vulgar person who only cares about appearance and dressing up."
Min'er was immediately discouraged. According to her, Miss Gu was too honest and had never had those thoughts about the young master.
If she were Miss Gu, she might try her best to get the young master's attention and charm him. When she becomes the young master's wife, she would not be able to compare with those girls from the Liu family who look down upon others in the Hou Mansion<
/p>
"Chunhua, go and find the girl some brighter clothes. The girl should dress more formally, which is also a sign of respect for the young master." Min'er found a good reason.
Chunhua was about to agree, but Gu Xiyan quickly stopped her: "No need, I'm going to see the young master, not anyone else, so there's no need to be so solemn."
Min'er felt heavy after hearing this.
This girl Gu really has no ambition at all. She has such a good-looking face, why doesn’t she dress up well?
She looked at Qiushi, hoping that Qiushi could persuade Miss Gu, but Qiushi was also heartless: "The girl looks very good like this. Besides, what's the point of dressing up when meeting the young master?"
"Isn't the young master a man?" Min'er was so angry that she wanted to cry.
"Young master is a man, but he is not a man who looks after girls." Qiushi saw that his girl had a plain face and was as beautiful as a fairy descending from the earth: "The girl is very beautiful even without dressing up."
The girl has a charming smile, and when she is quiet, she is like a beautiful flower shining in the water. This girl's face is already stunning without any special decoration.
When Gu Xiyan left Xiyuan, she didn't even have a hairpin. Min'er only lamented that Miss Gu's master and servant were all big-hearted.
Gu Xiyan just left the Hou Mansion and saw Zhou Mu waiting in front of the next door.
She was startled, and subconsciously looked around to make sure no outsiders saw Zhou Mu before she felt at ease.
Her sneaky and nervous look made Zhou Mu feel uncomfortable: "Am I shameful?"
Gu Xiyan shook her head in denial: "Of course not..."
But it is always not good to see her wandering around in a man's house. Especially those in the Hou family want to get rid of her quickly, so she can't be more cautious.
"Come in." Zhou Mu gave up his position.
Gu Xiyan passed by him and smelled the incense on his body.
She slowed down, looked up at him, and met his gentle and elegant face.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mu lowered his eyes and looked at her with soft eyes.
Gu Xiyan shook her head and entered first, followed closely by Zhou Mu.
When Gu Xiyan went to the pavilion, tea and snacks had been prepared there. Aunt Yin was waiting at the side. When she saw her coming, she smiled kindly and said, "Girl, please take a seat."
Gu Xiyan felt that Nanny Yin seemed to be more enthusiastic than before, so she sat down and Zhou Mu found another cushion for her.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she met his clear eyes: "It's more comfortable to sit like this."
