With a plan in mind and an escape route figured out, Gu Xiyan finally calmed down.
She still remembered the year when Liu Shu was trying to drive her out of the house, and she would never forget the panic and fear she felt at that time.
She was afraid of living on the streets, and even more afraid of being homeless. Those were the days when she felt most insecure.
Now that she has grown up, she has nothing to fear even if she is kicked out of the Hou Mansion.
Compared with the tranquility and tranquility of Xiyuan, Dongyuan is shrouded in gloom and mist.
Liu Junyan finally stopped crying, but she still felt uncomfortable.
When little Gu saw her beloved daughter haggard like this, her resentment towards Gu Xiyan became even deeper.
"Jun Yan, don't feel bad. There are so many good men in the capital, and none of them is better than Young Master Xu." Little Gu held Liu Junyan's catkins and consoled her.
Liu Junyan smiled sadly: "But I just like Xu Yanqing!"
The first time she saw Xu Yanqing, she was instantly moved. But she never expected that Xu Yanqing, like other ordinary people, was interested in lust, and actually fell in love with Gu Xiyan, whom she usually despised the most.
"Xu San's status is not worthy of you, why bother-"
"Why is he not worthy of me? He is only eighteen this year, and he is already the head of the Ministry of Finance and the Gyeonggi Province. He is also talented. He is handsome and handsome, but he does not mess around with women. Even now, the backyard is clean. This,
Even my father can't do it." Liu Junyan couldn't see little Gu saying that her sweetheart was not good, so she retorted coldly.
When little Gu thought of Marquis Wan Qing's aunts having intercourse with each other, her heart felt like a big stone was weighing on her.
Which man in this world doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? Or he’s too idealistic.
Little Gu said as an experienced person: "Xu San doesn't have a concubine now, but that doesn't mean he won't take concubines after getting married. You don't understand the bad nature of men. They always change their minds when they see different things——"
"My mother was not doing well, so she used herself to save others. Xu Yanqing was different from other men, so I fell in love with him and liked him! Mother, I have made up my mind and must marry him!!" Liu Junyan suddenly
Righteous way.
Little Gu's heart trembled. Thinking of the scene in Xiangguo Temple, she still hesitated a little: "But Xu San is a lame-eyed person, and he is thinking about your sister. Why did you offend him?"
Liu Junyan shook her head: "Xu Yanqing was just fascinated by my sister's face. He is not such a superficial man. I think I can do all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't believe that I can't catch his eye. As long as you give me a chance to get along with him,
He will fall head over heels for me."
She really didn't know what else about Gu Xiyan could fascinate Xu Yanqing besides her face.
Based on her understanding of Xu Yanqing, he is not the kind of tacky man who only values beauty.
And she knew Gu Xiyan, who had shrunk for more than ten years, hiding in a corner where she could not see the light, and developed a cowardly temperament. This was the reason why a woman who could not stand up to the stage would be divorced by Zhou Xing before getting married. Even Zhou Xing despises Gu Xiyan. Xu Yanqing has more personality than Zhou Xing, so how can he really like Gu Xiyan? It's just a temporary obsession.
Seeing Liu Junyan's firm expression, little Gu suddenly felt heartbroken.
She felt that her daughter was possessed by a demon, so Xu Sansan obviously didn't take her daughter seriously, so why should the child be so stubborn?
"I just want to marry Xu Yanqing, mother, help me!" Liu Junyan said firmly, expressing her position again.
"Maybe Xu San doesn't like you, he doesn't even want to see you, why do you want to be so mean to yourself?" Little Gu is someone who has been through it all, and knows very well that if a man doesn't like you, no matter what you do, it will be in vain.
When she first married into the Marquis Mansion, she still hoped that Marquis Wan Qing would like her, but later she found out that his heart had been seduced by Aunt He.
Then who is Aunt He? I heard that she used to be the girl next to Wan Qinghou, but later she climbed into bed. She was originally a slave and could only be a lowly maidservant for the common room, but later she was forced to become an aunt by Wanqinghou.
She fought over it, but Wan Qinghou kept getting farther and farther away from her, and later she looked away. She was a noble lady, why should she argue with a lowly concubine? It would be a loss of status.
No matter how favored Aunt He is, she can't surpass her, a serious lady. A concubine will always be a concubine, nothing more than a thing that can't be put on the stage.
"If he doesn't see me, doesn't he still want to see his sister? It's enough to lure him into the Marquis' Mansion." Liu Junyan's lips curved in a sarcastic arc.
Little Gu sighed softly: "I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
"I won't regret it. If I give up without trying, I will definitely regret it." Liu Junyan said solemnly: "Why don't you send a note to your uncle's house today and invite Xu Yanqing in the name of your father to see if he comes?
Come to the Marquis Mansion. If he doesn’t come and invites you again in the name of your sister, I won’t believe that Xu San can’t be invited!”
Little Gu didn't try to persuade her anymore and planned to let Liu Junyan give it a try.
After Mrs. Qi Anbo received the invitation, she handed it to Xu Yanqing: "Son, you make up your own mind."
Xu Yanqing accepted the invitation in the name of Marquis Wan Qing, so he would naturally go on this trip.
Even if this was Liu Junyan's intention, he still wanted to enter the Hou Mansion to see Gu Xiyan.
After receiving this invitation, Xu Yanqing had a rare and peaceful sleep.
He specially arranged his holiday with his colleagues and went to the Hou Mansion early the next morning.
He took the lead in going to the study to meet Marquis Wan Qing. Marquis Wan Qing's attitude was no different from before. He regarded him as an old friend and was quite friendly to him.
While the two were chatting, Liu Junyan came in with tea.
She is wearing exquisite makeup today, with a classic face and big and bright eyes. If you don't compare her with Gu Xiyan, her appearance is indeed outstanding.
She is petite and has a smile on her face, but she is still as heartbroken as yesterday
Liu Junyan observed carefully. Even if she saw the emotion of dislike for her on Xu Yanqing's face, she was mentally prepared.
Unfortunately, Xu Yanqing just took the teacup she handed over and didn't look at her.
His face did not show any likes or dislikes, and such a dull emotion was the greatest humiliation to her.
Xu Yanqing didn't care what Liu Junyan was feeling. After chatting with Marquis Wan Qing, he explained his intention: "Can the Marquis send someone to ask Miss Gu to come? I have something to ask Miss Gu."
Marquis Wan Qing had long noticed that Xu Yanqing was absent-minded. He glanced at his biological daughter who looked pale, and said with a slightly restrained expression: "Of course it's okay..."
"Father, I happen to be free. Let me invite my sister over." Liu Junyan suddenly interrupted.
Wan Qinghou took a deep look at Liu Junyan. His daughter was so stubborn. She was obviously very sad, but she was still trying to be strong.
"Forget it, go and come back quickly." Marquis Wan Qing agreed happily.
Liu Junyan didn't know how she felt. When she walked out of the study, she realized that her hands were shaking.
Xu Yanqing really didn't save any face for her. He wanted to find Gu Xiyan in front of her and her father. Wasn't he just stamping her face on the ground?
It happened that she still wanted to torture herself, so she took this job.
