After walking through the Chaoshou Gallery and then through the Moon Cave Gate, Liu Junyan went to the most remote Xiyuan as quickly as possible.
She came to Xiyuan full of anger, but heard the laughter and laughter inside. I don't know what Gu Xiyan said, and Shen's mother and the two maids all laughed.
The arrival of Liu Junyan made the room filled with laughter and became silent in an instant.
Gu Xiyan was the first to come to her senses. She put down the book in her hand, stood up and asked, "Why is the third sister here?"
Liu Junyan usually despises the narrow and remote Xiyuan, and has not been to this place for a long time.
Liu Junyan glanced at the narrow courtyard with disgust and said in a condescending manner: "Sister, come with me!"
Seeing Liu Junyan's cold expression, Shen's mother was a little worried: "I wonder where the third girl is going to take the eldest girl."
"Master is talking, when will it be the slave's turn to interrupt!" Liu Junyan looked at Shen's mother coldly.
Mother Shen did not dare to cause further trouble and retreated to Xiyan's side.
Gu Xiyan gave Shen's mother a comforting look before asking: "What's the matter with my sister?"
"Just come with me, where does all this nonsense come from?" Liu Junyan said in a bad tone.
She just didn't like Gu Xiyan before, but now she hates Gu Xiyan.
Although Gu Xiyan was kind-hearted, she was not someone who could be bullied. She simply sat back down, picked up the book she had read and continued to read, leaving Liu Junyan aside.
Liu Junyan didn't expect that Gu Xiyan would dare to show her face. She had been insulted by Xu Yanqing before, so how could she be willing to be insulted by Gu Xiyan again?
"When did sister have such a grand event? I can't even invite sister!" Liu Junyan asked with a sneer.
"If my sister wants to invite me, she should have the attitude of inviting someone. My sister is very angry, but I, as a sister, don't necessarily have to swallow my anger." Gu Xiyan continued to read without raising her head, with a leisurely posture.
Liu Junyan laughed angrily at Gu Xiyan: "Why, you want me to destroy three and four!"
"Sister, please tell me, where do you want me to go?" Gu Xiyan finally raised her head and looked directly at Liu Junyan.
She has a gentle expression, not strong, but has an aura that is undeniable.
Liu Junyan frowned slightly, and after a long time she exhaled a breath: "Second Young Master Xu is here. He is in his father's study, saying that he wants to see my sister. Of course, if my sister doesn't want to see Young Master Xu, she can just not see him!"
Liu Junyan was impatient to wait for Gu Xiyan any longer and left Xiyuan angrily.
Gu Xiyan didn't expect Xu Yanqing to come. Liu Junyan obviously liked him, so why did she come here to ask her to see Xu Yanqing?
Liu Junyan has always been proud, and since she was in the Hou Mansion, she would not do anything to frame her.
Gu Xiyan thought about it for a while and finally decided to go see Xu Yanqing.
Liu Junyan soon arrived at Gu Xiyan. She frowned, knowing that Gu Xiyan would follow Xu Yanqing when she heard her name.
Xu Yanqing was waiting quietly in the study, but her heart was not at peace.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Liu Junyan entered the study first. There was no one behind her, and Xu Yanqing’s face was full of disappointment.
Liu Junyan deliberately left Gu Xiyan behind her. She had her own plans in mind. She just wanted Xu Yanqing to misunderstand that she did not bring Gu Xiyan here, and after knowing that she had wrongly blamed her, she would feel guilty towards her.
Unexpectedly, although Xu Yanqing was disappointed, he didn't say a word or look at her.
At this time, Gu Xiyan, who was lagging behind, entered the study. Xu Yanqing's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Xiyan.
Liu Junyan saw it in her eyes and clenched her fists.
At this time, Xu Yanqing had quickly arrived in front of Gu Xiyan and bowed: "Miss Gu, I'm so polite."
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile when she saw his sour look: "Master Xu, what's the matter with me?"
Only then did Xu Yanqing remember that there were other people in the study. He turned around and explained to Marquis Wan Qing, and after getting Marquis Wan Qing's approval, he left the study.
Gu Xiyan followed Xu Yanqing out of the study and went to the patio. After making sure that no third person was present, Xu Yanqing asked about what happened yesterday.
Gu Xiyan told the truth. Xu Yanqing listened carefully and fixed his eyes on Gu Xiyan's face.
Although the palm prints on Gu Xiyan's face have been swollen, shallow marks can still be seen.
"What's wrong with the girl's face?" Xu Yanqing asked seriously.
Gu Xiyan touched her face, remembering the little conflict with little Gu yesterday, and just smiled and said, "It's nothing, there was a little friction, it's gone."
Xu Yanqing looked into Gu Xi's watery almond-shaped eyes and said, "Who hit him? Let me guess, it's Mrs. Wan Qinghou."
So what kind of life was she living in the Wanqing Hou Mansion? She was almost kicked out of the Hou Mansion when she was a child, but when she grew up, she was treated like this by her adoptive mother.
Moreover, this adoptive mother is also her biological aunt, so little Gu is too partial.
She is just a weak woman, not so strong that she cannot be strong.
Gu Xiyan was not used to talking about her affairs to outsiders, so she remained silent.
What's more, for her, that palm not only passed through her physically, but she also passed through it psychologically.
At that moment yesterday, she was also sad, but it was only for that moment.
When Xu Yanqing saw that she didn't speak, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
He originally knew that Gu Xiyan was special to him, and he wanted to meet and get along with her more times to confirm his feelings.
At this moment, he was sure of one thing. He wanted to bring her stability and happiness, and wanted to help her free herself from the indifferent Liu family.
It was the first time in his life that he felt sorry for someone, which was a very unfamiliar feeling.
"What do you think of me, Miss Gu?" Xu Yanqing looked at Gu Xiyan intently, her narrow phoenix eyes shining brightly.
Gu Xiyan was made uncomfortable by Xu Yanqing's straightforward and affectionate eyes. She avoided his eyes and said calmly: "Master Xu is very good."
"Is that girl willing to marry me?" Xu Yanqing stared at her urgently, his eyes fixed on her white neck.
No matter how calm and steady Gu Xiyan was, she was startled by Xu Yanqing's straightforward question.
She didn't know how to answer, but her first thought was to run away.
Xu Yanqing also knew that he was too hasty, but he felt that it would be better to be a little more hasty, because she would not be happy in the Hou Mansion anyway.
"Girl, if you think there's something wrong with me, can I change it?" Seeing Gu Xiyan's delay in answering, Xu Yanqing suddenly felt a little nervous.
He has never had any experience in pleasing women in his life, but looking at the past, many women have expressed their love for him, which means that he is not that bad, right?
Gu Xiyan's eyes averted and she replied in a low voice: "It's not that you're bad, it's just that it was too sudden. I, I, I didn't think about it."
She and Xu Yanqing had only met a few times, so how could he be so sure that it was her?
Maybe he just sympathized with her plight, or maybe he just thought her face was okay. What if he regrets it one day in the future?
