In the Zaohui Hall, Wan Qinghou was in a good mood, and specially accompanied the old lady for dinner.

Seeing Wan Qinghou smiling all over his face, the old lady felt that something good must have happened. The second son has always been more stable and rigorous, and rarely smiles. She, a mother, rarely sees her emotionally exposed side like today.

"Why is my son so happy?" The old lady didn't suppress her curiosity.

"If there are no accidents, good things will happen to the Liu family recently." Wan Qinghou's eyes and brows were stained with a smile.

It was Qi Zhiyuan who came over to pass the message that His Royal Highness wants to see him tonight. Qi Zhiyuan also said that he had something to do with sister Xi.

Qi Zhiyuan also said one more thing, Sister Xi is a person whom His Royal Highness values.

He had known His Majesty for many years, and it was the first time His Majesty said so solemnly that he wanted to see him, and said that he had something important to discuss with him.

It was an important matter, and it had something to do with Sister Xi. He had a hunch that it might have something to do with Sister Xi's marriage.

The old lady didn't ask any more questions, after all, she couldn't get any results. She didn't ask her son what he couldn't say.

After dinner, Wan Qinghou waited peacefully in the study for Zhou Mu's arrival.

The fourth girl, Liu Huiyan, went out to eat in the other garden after dinner. She walked casually, and inadvertently came to the vicinity of the ancestral hall.

When she realized that she had gone a long way, she was about to turn around and walk back, but at this moment, she saw a man in a light blue straight-legged deep coat coming from the corridor.

The nearby lights were dim, and the light was not very bright, but the man was full of air, clean and elegant, clear and handsome, like a banished fairy descending from the sky, just like that, he just broke into her eyes.

Liu Huiyan felt her heart beating fast, and she didn't dare to blink, for fear that the person would disappear.

Zhou Mu didn't expect that there were still people near the ancestral hall at this time. He didn't know Liu Huiyan, so he just glanced at it, and then headed towards Wanqinghou's study without squinting.

Liu Huiyan woke up like a dream, seeing that the exile son who suddenly appeared was about to go far away, she hurriedly chased after him without restraint.

Zhou Mu heard footsteps approaching, and ordered in a low voice: "Stop her!"

Qi Zhiyuan responded, and when Liu Huiyan was chasing after him, he barely blocked Liu Huiyan's way: "Girl, please stop!"

"What are you stopping me for? I have a destiny with your son..." Liu Huiyan stood on tiptoe and looked at Zhou Mu's back. Seeing him walking farther and farther, she was so anxious that she turned around in circles.

Qi Zhiyuan was unmoved, he saw Zhou Mu walking away, and was about to follow, but Liu Huiyan chased after him and asked: "What is your son's name, why did he appear in the Hou Mansion at this time?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't!" Qi Zhiyuan didn't like Liu Huiyan's anxious look.

Only Miss Gu reacted normally when she saw the young master. The other women saw the young master like a bee seeing sugar. No wonder the young master avoided it in a hurry.

Liu Huiyan can read people's faces, and when she thinks of the young man's demeanor just now, she knows that it must be someone with a background.

Thinking about that she is just a concubine, if this young master is a person of high status and is also a distinguished guest of her father, then whether she can let her father decide in the future, and she is also willing to let her be a concubine.

She flushed with shame at the thought of the possibility.

"I'm a girl from Wanqinghou's mansion. Fourth, dare to ask if that son is my father's distinguished guest?" Liu Huiyan looked in the direction Zhou Mu left, which clearly led to her father's study.

"Fourth Miss, don't come here! By the way, my son doesn't like women." Qi Zhiyuan left this sentence and walked away.

The servant girl serving Liu Huiyan was named Yinghong, upon seeing this, she asked, "Young lady, won't you follow me?"

"Following the past will only annoy that young master. You might as well ask your father to find out what his words are." Liu Huiyan stood in the same place, thinking of the alluring appearance of that young master just now, she blushed with embarrassment.

She was not in a hurry to go back to the Bieyuan, she simply went to the vicinity of the study, thinking about seeing if she could see that stunning young man again later.

On that side, Zhou Mu was sure that Liu Huiyan hadn't followed, so he went to Wan Qinghou's study.

Wan Qinghou had already been waiting in the study, when he saw Zhou Mu, he stepped forward to salute.

"Master Hou, you don't need to be polite. I came to see Master Hou today because I want to discuss something with him." Zhou Mu said straight to the point.

Wan Qinghou thought that it must be a big deal for Zhou Mu to come here to discuss with him at this hour, and it must have something to do with Sister Xi.

He said calmly, "Your Highness, he said he was defenseless."

In fact, Zhou Mu was still a little hard to tell, but he still didn't feel at ease if he didn't explain it.

"I want to suspend Miss Gu's marriage proposal." Zhou Mu said cryptically.

Wan Qinghou was ecstatic in his heart, his intuition was indeed correct, His Highness came here for Sister Xi's marriage.

There was a villain dancing in his heart, but he responded with a serious face: "I obey Your Highness's orders. But sister Xi is already sixteen, and the girl's family is too old to discuss marriage, for fear of attracting criticism. What's more Sister Xi was divorced by His Royal Highness King Qin again, I am only worried that Sister Xi's reputation will be damaged."

Zhou Mu fell silent, knowing that Wan Qinghou's worry was justified.

"I..." Zhou Mu wanted to make a promise, that no matter how bad Gu Xiyan's reputation was, he still liked her.

He just wasn't sure if his illness could be cured, if it happened frequently, he was afraid of hurting Gu Xiyan out of control. In addition, Gu Xiyan doesn't have martial arts background like others, he might kill Gu Xiyan with a random palm.

The few martial artists who served by his side were good, and even Nanny Yin was formidable.

"Your Highness, please tell me anything." Seeing that Zhou Mu hesitated to speak, Wan Qinghou looked at him earnestly.

Zhou Mu organized the language, and then said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I am very pleased with Miss Gu, and I want to marry her."

Although he had struggled and was afraid that he would harm Gu Xiyan, he suddenly understood one thing that day. If he can't imagine the picture of Gu Xiyan getting close to other men, and even imagining it can arouse his jealousy and make him lose control, then it means that he must have her, and not marry Qing.

Wan Qinghou was overjoyed, it really was what he thought.

Sister Xi is really capable of making a deserted person like His Majesty fall into a romantic relationship.

"Master Hou doesn't seem too surprised?" Seeing that Wan Qinghou looked calm, Zhou Mu asked suspiciously.

Wan Qinghou's mind was active, how could it be unexpected?

As early as when His Majesty wanted to marry Sister Xi in the name of His Majesty, he could see that His Highness was special to Sister Xi.

He knows what kind of temperament His Majesty has. He has no desires or demands, and doesn't care about everything. In the eyes of His Majesty, there is no difference between men and women.

But it's just such a person who doesn't enter the world of mortals, who cares for Sister Xi very much, and thinks about Sister Xi in everything, what is this if he doesn't like her?

"Your Highness has always treated Sister Xi well, and I can see that His Highness treats Sister Xi special. What's more, Sister Xi is a simple and kind child, and it is reasonable for His Highness to like her."
