On the day the scumbag got married, I lay flat and became his sister-in-law

Chapter 224 The Mastermind Is You
Emperor Chengde: ...

He didn't know that this child was a lover.

"Father, don't worry, Xiyan is a good person. Even though she has some secrets, even though she may know my identity through some channels, she has never approached me. I didn't inform her about the marriage proposal in advance, and she was ignorant. But I don't know. It was I who fell in love with her first, and it was because I was sick that I was not good enough for her. Father thinks your son is really so good, does it worth her trouble to get close to me?" Zhou Mu shook his head and said.

The Gu Xiyan he knew was simple and kind, and she had never used any temper with him, nor had she made any demands on him.

But after being reminded by his father, he found that Gu Xiyan might be carrying more secrets than he knew.

This girl, he will have to get to know her carefully in the future.

"Forget it, it's up to you, you won't be able to find another Xiyan after all." Emperor Cheng De didn't bother to pay any attention to it.

Although this kid grew up in the Fallen Immortal Temple, his scheming is not bad, and his eyesight is even less likely to be bad, both of which have been passed down from him.

That being the case, what is he doing so much?
However, he still decided to go to Wanqinghou's mansion to test Wanqinghou.

When Zhou Mu learned that Emperor Chengde was going to Wanqinghou Mansion, he hit it off with his father.

"Father is going to see Lord Hou, and I will sit in Xiyuan." He said to Emperor Chengde.

Emperor Cheng De didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while: "You really are..."

"I'm twenty, and I'm going to get married next year. I'm not a child." Zhou Mu stood up and suddenly changed his mind: "Forget it, I won't go into the Marquis's Mansion with my father, and I will go first."

Emperor Cheng De looked at Zhou Mu's straight figure, his eyes were inexplicably astringent.

He will always remember the dying appearance of the child when it was first born, like a kitten, such a small ball, it was the child that Yu Shu desperately left for him.

If Master Mingjue hadn't rescued him, the child would have died long ago.

But now his appearance is so outstanding, he is already twenty, in his eyes, Zimo will always be a child.

Emperor Chengde came here, and he didn't want to disturb too many people in the Houfu.

He avoided Wan Qinghou's gift, and explained his purpose of coming: "I have something to ask you, you have to tell the truth."

Seeing Emperor Chengde's serious expression, Wan Qinghou's heart froze, and he replied solemnly, "Please, Your Majesty."

"Let me ask you, besides you and me, is there a third person who knows Zi Mo's identity?" Emperor Cheng De didn't beat around the bush, and he kept a close eye on Wan Qinghou's expression.

There was a little panic on Wan Qinghou's face, and Emperor Chengde saw it clearly: "Is there really a third person who knows his identity?"

"But, Ke Weichen didn't mention this matter to his mother until after the Highness came down to propose marriage. Before that, Weichen didn't dare to disclose any information to the outside world." Wan Qinghou asked cautiously: "Is it the identity of His Highness?" Has it been exposed?"

Emperor Cheng De was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Only the old lady knows Zi Mo's identity, or after Zi Mo proposes marriage?"

How did Gu Xiyan know Zi Mo's identity?It can't be that he guessed wrong.

But he always felt that Gu Xiyan seemed to know Zi Mo's true identity long ago.

"Of course. The matter is of great importance, and I dare not publicize the identity of His Royal Highness everywhere. Your Majesty, I have watched Your Highness grow up, and I know that His Highness has no intention of being a worldly person before. Under this premise, how can I reveal the identity of His Royal Highness?" His Highness's real identity? If His Highness doesn't come to the Marquis's Mansion to propose marriage, I will never let a third person know about it in my life." Wan Qinghou looked serious.

It is impossible for him to be so ignorant as it concerns the wealth and life of the entire Hou Mansion.

"That's strange." Emperor Chengde frowned.

Not Wanqinghou, could it be Master Mingjue?
This possibility was again rejected by Emperor Chengde.If Marquis Wan Qing hadn't revealed this news, then Master Mingjue was even less likely to reveal it.

"Is it possible for Xiyan to know Zimo's true identity?" Emperor Cheng De simply pointed out the topic.

Marquis Wan Qing resolutely replied: "It's absolutely impossible! That child is usually a quiet person, everyone in the Liu family treats her poorly, and she never walks around the Hou's residence except to go to Zaohuitang and Manfangyuan to pay her respects. Where did she come from?" Knowing His Highness's identity? If His Majesty suspects that Sister Xi approached him on purpose because he knew His Highness's true identity, then I can say with certainty that Sister Xi is not such a person!"

Many people in the Liu family were dishonest, but sister Xi was the most upright among the girls.

"It's rare to see you protecting someone like this." Emperor Cheng De was somewhat surprised.

Liu Shuming has been friends with him for so many years, of course he knows Liu Shuming's temperament.If he hadn't believed in Gu Xiyan, Liu Shuming wouldn't have said it so firmly.

"Wei Chen admits that the Liu family treated Sister Xi poorly, but Sister Xi is a noble character, and I trust her unconditionally!" Wan Qinghou's tone was still affirmative.

Emperor Chengde was thoughtful: "If Xiyan's character is fine, and no one has revealed Zimo's identity, how did the girl know Zimo's true identity?"

Wan Qinghou frowned: "Did Your Majesty make a mistake? How could Sister Xi know the identity of His Highness? That girl used to seldom even go out to Xiyuan, but recently..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Emperor Chengde asked, "What happened to her recently?"

"Since Sister Xi was divorced, she has been out of the Marquis' mansion from time to time. Sometimes to see each other, and sometimes to meet His Highness next door, but the other officials are not aware of their whereabouts. His Highness has also explained that there is no need to keep Sister Xi. Yes Yes, sister Xi even found a nursing home for women." Marquis Wan Qing didn't dare to hide it, so he told the truth.

This reminded Emperor Chengde that the reason why Gu Xiyan was dismissed earlier was also because of his son. Xiyan will change, is it because of Zhou Xing?
That's right, he forgot about retiring.

Xiyan's relationship with Zimo is not for revenge on King Qin, is it?
That girl's character is good, the first time he saw that girl, he felt that she would be a good match for her son.

Thinking that Zimo went to Xiyuan, he decided to say a few more words to Mo before returning to the palace.

Zhou Mu didn't expect Emperor Cheng De to be worried about his relationship.

He entered Xiyuan, but it was not easy to enter the room, so he took a rattan chair and sat down in the courtyard.

Gu Xiyan felt that he might have something to say, so she dismissed the others.She felt that the food festival was not over yet, and she might not be able to hide it from Zhou Mu.

"My lord, just ask if you have any questions." Gu Xiyan said, pouring a cup of hot tea for Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xi's snow-white little hand, which was more eye-catching than the tea-white porcelain white in his hand, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Mu's gaze and looked at her hand, not understanding what he was looking at.

"You are the mastermind of organizing the food festival." Zhou Mu took a sip of tea before slowly opening his mouth, this time in a declarative tone.

Gu Xiyan raised her eyebrows lightly, her expression remained unchanged: "Why are you so sure, Young Master?"
