Chapter 42 Steal someone!

Gu Xiyan got out of bed, and slowly tidied up the wrinkles on her dress: "Miss Yuan, please take care of yourself, and you must hide your love for the young master. I don't have many opportunities to meet the young master. Miss Yuan doesn't need to think of me as a rival in love."

  Yuan Nianci suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "What did Miss Gu say? Why can't I understand a word!"

  Her voice was sharp and piercing, and Gu Xiyan glanced at her indifferently: "I really should show you how Miss Yuan lost her composure at the moment."

  Yuan Nianci clenched his fists, suppressing the annoyance in his heart.

  Obviously she hid her feelings well, not only Zhou Mu didn't find out, even the other people around Zhou Mu didn't notice her thoughts, why did Gu Xiyan see it?

  Gu Xiyan didn't entangle with Yuan Nianci anymore, and left Zhou Mu's dormitory alone.

  She tried hard to recall how she left the palace and how she came to the Zhou Mansion, but she couldn't remember anything. It can only be said that the medicine Zhou Xing gave her was very domineering, and that she was able to escape today was entirely because Zhou Mu was in the palace and extended a helping hand to her.

  If she hadn't been rescued by Zhou Mu today, she would have been ruined by Zhou Xing again in this life.

  She wanted to thank Zhou Mu before leaving, but Qi Zhiyuan told her that Zhou Mu was busy.

  Gu Xiyan is a smart person, and immediately understood what Zhou Mu meant by not wanting to see her.

   "Then I would like to trouble you to convey to me that Xiyan will repay you in the future for the kindness you have saved me today." Gu Xiyan didn't bother anymore.

   There must be a reason why Zhou Mu didn't want to see her, she was just very grateful to Zhou Mu for lending a helping hand to her.

   "Miss, go slowly." Seeing that Gu Xiyan was going back to the Hou's Mansion, Qi Zhiyuan sent him off politely.

   After sending Gu Xiyan away from Zhou Mansion, Qi Zhiyuan went to Zhou Mu to report: "Miss Gu has gone back. Before leaving, I asked my subordinates to convey my thanks to Young Master."

  He didn't know why the young master suddenly didn't want to see Miss Gu. Didn't he care about Miss Gu that much before?

  Zhou Mu was absent-minded for a moment, his gaze fell blankly on the withered branches outside the window: "Go out."

  Yuan Nianci was relieved when she saw that Gu Xiyan had left without pestering Zhou Mu. She wanted to see Zhou Mu again, but Zhou Mu sent Qi Zhiyuan to send her away.

  After Gu Xiyan left, Zhou Mu wanted to pass the time by reading, but he couldn't make up his mind. An hour passed without reading anything.

  Later, he simply entered the meditation room and meditated, and his impetuous emotions gradually calmed down.

  When Gu Xiyan returned to the West Garden of the Hou Mansion, she still felt a heavy weight in her heart.

   What happened today is because she was too careless in the final analysis. She didn't expect that Zhou Xing would dare to drug her in full view, let alone that Zhou Xing would be so arrogant under the eyes of Emperor Chengde.

  She didn't know what happened after she left the palace, but she couldn't swallow the breath of being calculated by Zhou Xing.

   But she is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, how can she fight against the powerful King Qin?

  If she said that she was still hesitating whether to take the food from the tiger's mouth before, after this battle, she made up her mind.

  She can't fight Zhou Xing, but it doesn't mean she can't **** Zhou Xing's right-hand man.

  Having a general idea, she revised a letter and asked Qiushi to deliver the letter to Su Mei as soon as possible.

  Su Mei received a letter written by Gu Xiyan in the evening. The letter said that she was asked to go to the Yunlai Inn the day after tomorrow, and asked her to save a young man named Rong Song before Zhou Xing. The letter also said that Rong Song was very business-minded. When the five-grain storehouse opens, Rong Song will manage the five-grain storehouse.

  Gu Xiyan also specifically reminded her in the letter that Rong Song is both good and evil, so she must be careful.

  After receiving this letter from Gu Xiyan, Su Mei planned to go to the Yunlai Inn early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and must not let King Qin **** Rong Song away before her.

  Since Rong Song is the person Gu Xiyan likes, he must be capable.

  In order to avoid Gu Xiyan's worry, she specially wrote back a letter to Gu Xiyan, expressing that she would handle the matter properly.

  In the Mansion of Marquis Wanqing, the old lady just came home, so she called Gu Xiyan to her for questioning.

   "Why did you leave the banquet in the middle of the meeting today, and left the palace one step earlier? How did you return home?" The old lady had doubts in her heart, so she asked directly.

  Gu Xiyan said the words she had prepared earlier in the morning: "I don't know which nobleman in the palace prepared the carriage for Xiyan, and the valet also claimed that it was arranged by His Majesty's orders."

   When the old lady heard that the carriage was arranged by His Majesty, her eyes lit up: "Really?!"

   "How dare Xiyan make fun of His Majesty?" Gu Xiyan looked frank.

  Given how much Emperor Chengde loves Zhou Mu, it is not false for her to say this.

  Liu Chaoyan was also in the old lady's room. She looked Gu Xiyan up and down, wondering if Gu Xiyan was lying.

  In fact, Gu Xiyan was the first to leave at the banquet today, and then Zhou Xing and others left one after another. She always suspected that the reason why Zhou Xing left the banquet was because of Gu Xiyan.

  At that time, she was actually very scared, afraid that the person who was hanging out with Zhou Xing in Feiyun Pavilion was Gu Xiyan.

   Later, she saw that the person who was entangled with Zhou Xing was an eunuch. While she felt ashamed, she was also very glad that it wasn't Gu Xiyan, otherwise where would her face be?

   "Then why did my sister suddenly leave the palace early?" Liu Chaoyan was still skeptical of Gu Xiyan.

"The virtuous concubine doesn't like me, and my younger sister is also on guard against me. I thought it would be better to leave the palace earlier, so that my younger sister won't think about it." Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Chaoyan with a gentle expression: "How come my younger sister and grandmother are both concerned about me early?" Returning home, but what happened in the palace?"

  The old lady was also worried that Zhou Xing wanted to attack Gu Xiyan, but Gu Xiyan was helpless in the Marquis Mansion, and she had no help in the deep palace. His Majesty was still at the banquet at that time. That being the case, it is impossible for Gu Xiyan to be behind Zhou Xing's affair with the eunuch.

   She thought it wrong, and actually connected Zhou Xing's scandal with Sister Xi.

   "It's nothing. Since you're here, you sisters will have dinner at Zaohui Hall today." The old lady stopped the topic, and now she also thinks highly of Gu Xiyan.

   Facing Bao and Princess' difficulties today, Gu Xiyan did not show cowardice, nor did she embarrass the Hou Mansion, which shows that Gu Xiyan stood up on her own.

  Later, the fact that His Majesty let Gu Xiyan accompany him made the Hou Mansion look even more embarrassing. What even Liu Chaoyan could not do, Gu Xiyan did, this is Gu Xiyan's ability.

  A first-born girl who can make Wanqinghou's mansion look good, she should be treated kindly as a grandmother.

  During the dinner, the old lady greeted Gu Xiyan, but Liu Chaoyan was left out in the cold, which made Liu Chaoyan feel very uncomfortable.

  In the past, she was always the one who dominated Gu Xiyan. How could Gu Xiyan show her face?

   But now? Gu Xiyan actually let her grandmother value her so much, which made her vigilant.

   After dinner, Gu Xiyan bid farewell and left. Liu Chaoyan beat Gu Xiyan a few words on purpose, and hurriedly followed.

   "It's better for my sister to be more calm. My marriage with brother A Xing has already been settled, so don't do any more useless work!" Liu Chaoyan warned Gu Xiyan in a low voice.
