Chapter 42 Grab 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 is losing her composure at this 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, but even the other people around Zhou Mu didn't notice her thoughts, so 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 she was able to escape today 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 her a helping hand.

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

After sending Gu Xiyan away from the 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 the young master."

He also didn't know why the son 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, and his eyes fell blankly on the withered branches outside the window: "Go out."

Seeing that Gu Xiyan left without pestering Zhou Mu, Yuan Nianci felt relieved.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 read to pass the time, but he couldn't calm down, and 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 that day, her heart was still weighed down by a heavy stone.

Things like today happened, in the final analysis, she was too careless.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 how can she, a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, fight against the powerful King Qin?

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

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

With a general idea, she revised a letter and asked Qiu Shi 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 specially reminded her in the letter that Rong Song is both good and evil, so she should 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 snatch 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 worries, she specially wrote a letter to Gu Xiyan, expressing that she would take care of the matter.

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

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

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

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.

With the degree to which 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, seeing that it was an eunuch who was entangled with Zhou Xing, 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.

"Concubine Xian doesn't like me, and my younger sister is also guarding 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: "Why are my younger sister and grandmother 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 had no help in the deep palace, and 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.

On the contrary, she was thinking 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 Fu even more proud.What even Liu Chaoyan could not do, Gu Xiyan did, this is Gu Xiyan's ability.

A grandma who can make Wanqinghou's mansion look good, she should be treated kindly.

During the dinner, the old lady greeted Gu Xiyan coldly, 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, so 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 quiet. 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.
