Zhou Mu thought that Marquis Wan Qing was in the study, and that he wanted to be alone with Gu Xiyan for a while, so he replied: "It's not cold, just talk to the girl here, I will go back later."
Gu Xiyan was just about to say whether she should send him off, but then she thought that he must have entered and exited the Hou Mansion from the secret room, and felt that it was inappropriate.
The wind blew stronger and stronger, ruffling Gu Xiyan's long hair. Seeing this, Zhou Mu blocked the wind outlet without leaving a trace.
Looking at her gentle and graceful profile under the dim light, his hands and heart itched.
Gu Xiyan didn't notice this detail, and only heard Zhou Mu's clear voice: "Girl, I think..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly choked and coughed several times.
Gu Xiyan didn't understand: "What did the young master just say?"
Zhou Mu calmed down his breathing, feeling a little helpless.
He just wanted to ask her what she thought of him.
Perhaps because he was too nervous, he choked himself, and the courage he had just mustered up suddenly disappeared.
"Do you think I'm scary, girl?" Under Gu Xiyan's gaze, Zhou Mu abruptly changed the question.
Gu Xiyan was a little surprised when she heard this question, and she answered casually: "Young Master is not scary at all. He is the best person I have ever seen, how can he be scary?"
"I asked you when I was sick. Did I scare her when the girl was there?" Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan intently, his eyes deep, deeper than the dark night.
Gu Xiyan recalled the scene on the day Zhou Mu fell ill, and she couldn't help but want to laugh: "I wonder if it's because the young master is drunk and looks slower than usual, but the young master is not scary at all, he is just not very obedient." p>
"Disobedient?" Zhou Mu didn't quite understand what he meant.
"I asked the young master to take off..." Gu Xiyan stopped in time, suddenly remembering that it was a topic that could not be mentioned.
At that time, she asked Zhou Mu to take off his wet clothes, but Zhou Mu not only refused to take them off, but also asked her to take them off.
Later, she actually helped him take it off.
But is this a topic that can be discussed?
Zhou Mu also realized what Gu Xiyan wanted to say at this time. He remembered many scenes after he woke up. At that time, he just thought that he was in a dream and he could do whatever he wanted to her, so he ordered her to help him take off his clothes.
The dirty things he usually only dared to dream about in his mind actually happened that day when he was drunk.
This time, the two of them stopped the topic with a tacit understanding.
Zhou Mu looked away uncomfortably, and Gu Xiyan also felt a little hot. She glanced left and right, but she didn't dare to look at Zhou Mu.
The two of them stood there for a long time. When the heat on their faces dissipated, Gu Xiyan said, "It's getting late. The young master has to be on duty tomorrow, so go back early and rest."
Zhou Mu was reluctant to leave and did not answer the call.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but chase him away, so she pursed her lips in confusion.
Why didn't this person answer the call? And he didn't move. Could it be that he still wanted to stay in the Hou Mansion and not leave?
The two of them just stood like this. Zhou Mu stared at Gu Xiyan's face and felt rude. After staring for a while, he pretended to look at the surrounding... night scene.
When Gu Xiyan turned around and looked over, Zhou Mu also happened to turn around and look over.
The two people's eyes met, Gu Xiyan's expression was magnanimous, her apricot eyes were as clear as water.
Zhou Mu's heart gradually sank in such a pair of beautiful eyes, and he coughed uncomfortably: "Girl, go back first, I'll go back after she leaves."
Gu Xiyan felt that Zhou Mu seemed a little strange, obviously he was the guest, right? She should be the one sending him off.
"Go back and settle in early." Although Zhou Mu was reluctant to leave, she also felt that the wind was too strong tonight and she was afraid that she would catch a cold.
Gu Xiyan nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Zhou Mu waved his hand, signaling her to go back to Xiyuan.
Gu Xiyan turned around and walked back. After walking a few steps, she looked back at Zhou Mu. She saw that the man was still standing there, wearing the brighter clothes he had this afternoon, as if he was one of the other young nobles in the capital.
Like a young man.
She vaguely felt that Zhou Mu seemed a little different from before, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
The atmosphere when talking to Zhou Mu today was also very different. Did she think too much?
"What is the girl thinking about?" On the way back to Xiyuan, Qiushi saw that his girl was too silent and felt that the girl seemed to have something on her mind.
Gu Xiyan didn't know how to describe it, so she only replied: "I just didn't expect that it was Mr. Zhou who asked my uncle to come to me."
"Mr. Zhou went to see the girl specially. Did he say something important?" Qiushi inquired curiously.
Gu Xiyan shook her head: "It was just a casual chat. If the young master has important matters, it is impossible for him to talk to me, a girl in the boudoir."
"Then why did Mr. Zhou call the girl over? He couldn't be more interested in being a matchmaker for the girl, right?" Qiushi suddenly became interested.
Gu Xiyan burst into laughter: "Young master didn't do any matchmaking for me tonight. He also said during the day, don't rush my marriage, take your time."
"Isn't this a contradiction? I remember that the young master said at the beginning that the girl's marriage should be decided as soon as possible to prevent His Highness King Qin from having any ideas about the girl again." Qiushi didn't think it made sense.
Gu Xiyan was speechless for a moment, that's what happened.
"Perhaps it's because His Highness the King of Qin hasn't caused any trouble for me recently?"
Qiushi thinks this doesn’t make sense.
His Highness the King of Qin has promised that after he gets married to the second girl next year, he will make her his concubine.
If the girl's marriage is not settled beforehand, she may be forcibly taken into the palace by King Qin.
When the two masters and servants returned to Xiyuan, they still hadn't figured out why Zhou Mu's attitude had changed.
On the other side, Liu Huiyan was hiding in a dark corner and clearly saw the private meeting between Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu.
It was obvious that his father was still in the study and Zhou Mu was his father's guest. How could his father allow Gu Xiyan to meet his foreigner in private under his nose?
After Zhou Mu also left, she entered the study: "Father, who is the name of the young master just now?!"
Marquis Wan Qing did not expect Liu Huiyan to appear suddenly, and his face sank: "Why are you here?"
What did my daughter see?
"Father hasn't answered my daughter's question yet. That young master is so handsome, and I like him very much, but he just met his eldest sister——"
Wan Qinghou's face sank when he heard this: "This young master is not a person you can imagine, you should give up your heart as soon as possible!"
If it were other people, he could still deal with it. People like His Highness can't even be controlled by His Majesty, let alone him, the Marquis of Wan Qing?
Liu Huiyan did not expect to be rejected so bluntly by Wan Qinghou. Her face turned pale and her red lips trembled slightly: "Father, my daughter really likes him..."
"My father told me, that person is not something you can imagine. What's more, what are you doing wrong, why do you want to be a concubine? Although you are a concubine, you can still marry a concubine from an innocent family. Then you will be a concubine.
She is the wife, why do she want to be a concubine? Do you know that the most unwilling thing in your life is to be a concubine?" Wan Qinghou hoped to awaken this daughter's reason.
How could someone as famous as His Highness be someone his concubine could reach for?
