Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan's dangling figure, thought in his mind, and raised his thin lips: "If the King of Qin makes trouble for the girl in the future, and she can't compete with him, she can go to Wanqinghou Mansion next door for help. I sometimes live there.
In the house next door. Even if I am not here, someone will receive the girl."
This girl Gu has the same scent as him. Today, she almost lost her reputation by helping him avoid Zhou Xing.
This may be the good relationship between him and Miss Gu.
Gu Xiyan looked back and smiled, feeling warm in her heart: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiyan, for your kindness!"
In her two lifetimes, she has received too little kindness, which is why she is so precious.
Zhou Mu nodded slightly and watched Gu Xiyan's graceful back disappear at the end of the flower path.
After Gu Xiyan left the back garden, she thought to herself that she had just been divorced by Zhou Xing and had no one to rely on in the Hou Mansion. It would be difficult for her to marry into a good family.
If she didn't have any specific plan before today, she suddenly had an idea after meeting Zhou Mu.
She wanted to become stronger. Although Zhou Xing was the prince, if she had enough money, she could give it a try even if she struck an egg against a stone.
Zhou Mu only met her once and was willing to help her deal with Zhou Xing. How could she be weak again?
She also hopes to have the opportunity to help Zhou Mu Yier and Er in the future, even if people like Zhou Mu may not need her.
The most urgent task is to get back the dowry left by her mother so that she can have money to take care of things. However, her dowry is in Li's hands.
When she was thinking about how to get back her dowry, Chunhua suddenly ran over with red eyes: "Girl..."
"Why are you crying?" Gu Xiyan knew something was going on when she saw Chunhua was about to cry.
"My servant just overheard the discussion between the eldest lady and Mother Yi. They planned to give all the girl's dowry to the second girl. They also said that the girl couldn't get married anyway, and the dowry would get moldy and rotten if left alone. This is simply too much!" Come to the point!
, Chunhua turned blue with anger.
Gu Xiyan wiped away Chunhua's tears and comforted her softly: "Silly girl, crying can't solve the problem."
Since it is her dowry, she must take it back even if she robs it.
"The slaves just feel uncomfortable. They are so shameless." Chunhua was so angry that her tears kept falling.
Gu Xiyan waited for her to calm down before saying: "It should be mine, and no one else can take it away. Taking advantage of the excitement in the house today, let's get all the dowry back."
"Yes, is it okay?"
"Evaluate and give it a try."
Two-quarters of an hour later, Gu Xiyan returned to Xiyuan and got the dowry list left by her mother.
Except for some small items, the only valuable things are some gold and silver jewelry, a few sets of valuable headdresses, a box of silk and satin, several valuable shops, a manor and a bank.<
/p>
There are detailed records on the list. The paper of this list is yellowed and has been for many years. The list cannot be fake.
She didn't want to be too public on a day like this, but if Mrs. Li insisted on stirring up discomfort today, don't blame her for making the matter bigger.
She changed into a set of festive clothes, put on light makeup again, went to Fenghe Hall first, and finally went to the birthday banquet.
The time for her arrival will be just around the corner, just in time for birthday gifts.
She came late, but she came by chance.
Gu Xiyan suddenly appeared, which made Li sneer. She said harshly: "Isn't this a big girl? Today is the birthday of our ancestors. How dare you come here empty-handed?"
It's great. Giving him a pillow when he takes a nap is just what Gu Xiyan wants.
Gu Xiyan was ridiculed by Mrs. Li, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Grandma is celebrating her birthday today, so Xiyan shouldn't have come empty-handed. It's just that Xiyan went to Fenghe Hall to get the jade screen of good fortune and fortune, and wanted to congratulate her on her birthday.
, but the mother-in-law did not let Xi Yan enter, claiming that the jade screen belonged to Fenghetang."
Speaking of this, Gu Xiyan forced back her tears. When facing the old lady, she forced a smile: "It's Xiyan who is unfilial. At this moment, I can only present the Buddhist scriptures copied by my own hands. Later, I can present the jade screen."
Send it to Zaohui Hall to congratulate my grandmother on her birthday. In the evening, I wish my grandmother that the pine trees and cranes will remain green and that she will never grow old in the spring and autumn."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Li's face became extremely ugly. She did not expect that Gu Xiyan would expose her to the old lady in public about her taking Gu Xiyan's dowry.
How could the old lady not know the origin of the jade screen of Fortune and Fortune? It was one of the dowries left by the Great Gu family to Sister Xi, and it was priceless. Sister Xi showed her loyalty to her by honoring her with the jade screen.
What made her happy was that although Sister Xi had suffered a huge injustice, she still remembered to protect the face of Wanqinghou Mansion. She only went so far as to stop telling the truth about Li's forcible seizure of her dowry. Otherwise, Wanqinghou would have
The government general became the laughing stock of the whole city because of Li.
"Good boy, if you are interested, come and sit next to grandma." The old lady took Gu Xiyan's hand, unable to conceal her affection for Gu Xiyan.
When Gu Xiyan saw the old lady's gesture, she became determined.
Liu Chaoyan turned around and saw this scene, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost shattered by her.
Today, many ladies from Gaoming came to attend the old lady's birthday banquet, and they felt strange when they saw this scene from a distance.
Originally, the news of Gu Xiyan's annulled marriage was widely spread, and everyone thought that Gu Xiyan was incompetent. But today, seeing that her behavior was generous and decent, and not as bad as the legend said, they couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyan more.
Eye.
It wasn't until the dinner was about to start that Gu Xiyan made an excuse and walked away.
Chunhua took a blank look and asked in a low voice: "How can the girl be willing to give such an expensive birthday gift?"
The jade screen is the most valuable item on the list. The old lady usually treats girls poorly, so why is the girl willing to give it away?
"Isn't it a good idea to give a jade screen to grandma for her birthday party? In the future, when grandma sees the jade screen, she will look at things and miss people. She will remember that there is a little person like me in the Marquis Mansion." Gu Xiyan glanced at Chunhua.
This is all secondary.
What kind of good things have you never seen from a royal lady like the old lady? Naturally, you should give the best gifts.
Her ultimate goal is to get back her dowry. How can she get anything if she doesn’t give it up?
Chunhua was secretly speechless, feeling that the girl's vision was not comparable to that of a servant like herself.
Gu Xiyan's eyes widened as she looked at the two people talking in front of her. They were Liu Chaoyan and Miss Su San, Su He.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Speaking of which, Su Ho and Liu Chaoyan are very similar. Their biological mothers are both aunts, so it’s no wonder they became close friends.
After Liu Chaoyan walked away, Gu Xiyan hesitated for a moment and walked towards Su Ho's table.
She asked Miss Su Er calmly and generously, Su Mei said: "Miss Su Er, can I sit here?"
Su Mei did not expect that Gu Xiyan would talk to her, so she quickly stood up and replied: "Of course."
Gu Xiyan took her seat in the empty seat on Su Mei's right hand.
Su Ho's eyes flashed slightly when she saw this scene. She originally wanted to sit next to Su Mei so that it would be easier for her to do things later.
Gu Xiyan suddenly occupied the seat she wanted. In desperation, she had to sit on the right side of Gu Xiyan so that she could act accordingly.
Gu Xiyan saw Su Ho sitting down from the corner of her eye, and knew that Su Ho still wanted to frame Su Mei like he did in his previous life, and wanted to ruin Su Mei's reputation.
She remembered something that happened at the old lady’s birthday party in her previous life. Su Mei was drugged and later caught and raped in bed.
The young master with Su Mei is Xu Yongqian, the prince of Qi Anbo.
Because he was caught raping in public, Xu Yongqian married Su Mei in desperation. After the marriage, he was lukewarm towards Su Mei.
Su Mei fell in love with Xu Yongqian at first sight, and she was devoted to Xu Yongqian after marriage. Little did Su Mei know that Xu Yongqian had secretly communicated with Su Ho about the song.
Later, Su Mei's child was killed by Su Ho and died in depression a few years later.
Su Ho was just the opposite. After Su Mei's death, he hooked up with Zhou Xing and later became Zhou Xing's concubine and Zhou Xing's right-hand man.
The Su family is a businessman. At present, the Su family is not particularly outstanding among the Kyoto trading houses. However, later Su Ho became very good at doing business and became the richest man in the capital.
Coupled with Zhou Xing's help, Su Ho became even more prosperous among the ladies in the capital.
It was also the character Su Ho who later added a lot of resistance to Zhou Mu.
