Chapter 3
Gu Xiyan's eyelids drooped, and the long eyelashes like crow feathers cast thick shadows, making her brows and eyes more gentle and harmless: "I like the name Xiyan more and more. Even though it has been many years, I still miss you all." Mother and daughter's gift of names. Besides Liu Shuzheng, if he didn't drive me out of the mansion back then, how could I have the opportunity to be raised under the name of Lord Hou?"

The sun was shining outside the window, and the golden leaking sun penetrated through the cracks in the window edge, and scattered all over Gu Xiyan's body. There seemed to be thousands of stars in her tiny eyes, which were so warm and bright that Liu Chaoyan's heart was startled.

In her cognition, Gu Xiyan should be humble, cowardly, silent, and silent, not as warm and tough as she is now, like a willow, obviously weak, but it can't break no matter what.

Liu Chaoyan was suddenly afraid of Gu Xiyan like this, but she didn't know what she was afraid of.

"Finally, let me talk about His Highness King Qin. I also want to thank you for helping me cut off the bond between His Highness King Qin and me. There is a poem that says, those who abandon me will not keep the day of yesterday. Liu Chaoyan, what you got Things don't have to be precious. But I wish you the best of luck."

Liu Chaoyan's complexion changed a lot, so she couldn't hear the disapproval in Gu Xiyan's tone: "You, you mean Brother Ah Xing may not be precious?!"

Obviously Zhou Xing is all about Gu Xiyan, without Zhou Xing, Gu Xiyan will definitely wither and wither.

But why is Gu Xiyan getting more and more dazzling?

Gu Xiyan stepped forward and gently pulled Liu Chaoyan's distorted cheeks, her almond eyes were as gentle as water: "You must always remember that Liu Chaoyan is an innocent, lively and kind lady, and her ferocious expression does not match the temperament you set. You will be the nobleman of Princess Qin in the future."

Liu Chaoyan instantly became angry from embarrassment, she waved Gu Xiyan's hand away, and threw a palm at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan could have avoided it, but the moment she saw the corner of the old lady's clothes, she endured the palm.

The old lady never expected that Liu Chaoyan, who was clever, lively and kind in her eyes, would lose her composure like this.

She shouted in a deep voice: "Sister Chao, how can you slap your sister?!"

Gu Xiyan's recent performance was very pleasing to her. She once felt that if Gu Xiyan could have such a daughter-in-law demeanor earlier, then marrying King Qin might be able to restrain King Qin one or two.

It's a pity that the king of Qin retired and proposed marriage to his elder sister, so he can only blame Gu Xiyan for his poor fate.

It's just that Liu Chaoyan, who was usually the most caring and sensible person, has turned into a hideous face, which is beyond her expectation.

After Liu Chaoyan's initial astonishment, she quickly regained her senses, tears gathered in her eyes, "Grandmother..."

"If you go back to grandma, it's because I'm not good at being an older sister. What my sister said just now is indeed the truth. I have no father and no mother. I just live in the Hou's mansion. I should know the truth. I should take a detour when I see my sister in the future. " Gu Xiyan's eyes were red as she spoke, and she raised her head to force back the tears in her eyes.

Her forbearance and pretending to be strong made the old lady feel uncomfortable.

That's right, this child was supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, but her mother died young and was abandoned by her father, so she took her mother's surname even though her surname was Liu.It is said that it is raised in the Hou's mansion, but it is really living under the fence.

"No, no, I didn't say that..." For the first time in her life, Liu Chaoyan was suppressed by Gu Xiyan and was speechless.

"Does the second girl have a conscience for saying this? How many times has the second girl taunted the eldest girl, and now even the eldest girl's marriage has been robbed by the second girl, can the second girl let the eldest girl go?!" Qiu Shi called in time. Duan Liu Chaoyan's defense.

"Sister Chao, you are going to kneel in the ancestral hall now, and you can't get up without my order." The old lady has also heard about these things.

In the past, Gu Xiyan would only back down, and in recent years, she has become more and more disappointed with this girl.Over time, she also gave up on Gu Xiyan.But no matter how bad Gu Xiyan is, she is also the eldest daughter of Wanqinghoufu.

Liu Chaoyan's face was pale, she couldn't argue, but when she saw the old lady's solemn expression, she knew that she couldn't avoid it this time.

She shed a few tears, and said in a choked voice: "It's Chaoyan's fault, grandma won't be so angry. Tomorrow is grandma's birthday, if grandma has something good or bad..."

"Grandmother has a strong body, and she will live a long life." Gu Xiyan interrupted Liu Chaoyan.

Liu Chaoyan's face changed again: "I, I'm not cursing grandma..."

When she saw the ugly face of the old lady again, she knew that she had said something wrong again, so she bowed and resigned, and went to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment.

As soon as Liu Chaoyan left, the old lady took Gu Xiyan's hand and sat down: "Sister Xi, you have been wronged."

Gu Xiyan shook her head silently, even her grievances were silent.

"When I live to my grandmother's age, I only hope that the house will be safe and that the Hou Mansion will get better and better."

Gu Xiyan could hear the beating meaning in the old lady's words.

"Grandmother said so. The granddaughter only hopes to marry a loyal and honest person in the future and live a smooth life." Gu Xiyan replied softly.

This is also to appease the old lady, she does not hate Liu Xiyan for marrying into Prince Qin's residence.

The old lady felt that Gu Xiyan did not seem to be lying, so she settled down.

Afterwards, Zaohuitang sent ointment, and Gu Xiyan smeared it on her face. Although it had some effect, the swelling had not completely subsided.

"What should I do? Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday banquet. How can a girl meet people with her swollen face?" Chunhua said in surprise.

Gu Xiyan felt sorry for herself, but she was very satisfied with her face.

Liu Chaoyan's slap not only made the old lady face up to her existence again, but also made Zhou Xingmorrow see her detour, killing two birds with one stone.

The next day.

The swelling on Gu Xiyan's face hadn't disappeared yet, she put on an old-fashioned kitsch makeup, and specially changed into old-fashioned clothes.

Chunhua and Qiushi were very dissatisfied with Gu Xiyan's deliberate uglification of themselves, but in the end they couldn't hold back Gu Xiyan's persistence.

The birthday banquet has already begun, and Gu Xiyan plans to show her face and go back to Xiyuan to stay.

From a distance, she could see a few girls from Wanqinghou's Mansion accompanying the old lady, it was very lively, but Liu Chaoyan was not alone.

Gu Xiyan didn't want to make fun of herself and spoil the atmosphere, so she let Chunhua and Qiushi go to work on her own, while she went to a place where there were few people.

Coincidentally, just as she walked to the flower hall, she saw a servant girl jumping into Zhou Xing's arms.

Zhou Xing saw a woman suddenly rushing into his arms, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. He pushed her away, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar girl turning around and about to leave.

He recognized at a glance that it was Gu Xiyan.

It has been half a month since he saw Gu Xiyan last time.

"Xiyan, come here!" Zhou Xingyang shouted.

Gu Xiyan didn't want to meet Zhou Xing face to face, so she pretended not to hear and walked forward quickly.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing caught up and blocked her way: "I called you, didn't you hear?"

With a dull expression, she bowed to Zhou Xing and said hello: "The daughter of the people respectfully invites Your Highness Jinan, and your Highness is blessed!"
