Chapter 56
With a plan in mind and a way out, Gu Xiyan's heart finally settled down.

She still remembers the year when Liu Shu was trying to drive her out of the mansion, and she will never forget the panic and fear at that time in her life.

She was afraid of being on the street, and even more afraid of being homeless. Those were the days when she felt the most insecure.

Now that she has grown up, even if she is driven out of the Hou Mansion, she has no fear in her heart.

Compared with the tranquility and peace of the West Garden, the East Garden is shrouded in gloom and mist.

Liu Junyan finally stopped crying, but she still felt uncomfortable.

When Xiao Gu saw her beloved daughter haggard like this, her resentment towards Gu Xiyan deepened.

"Junyan, don't feel bad, there are so many good men in the capital, which one is better than Mr. Xu?" Little Gu comforted Liu Junyan by holding her catkin.

Liu Junyan smiled sadly: "But I just like Xu Yanqing!"

The first time she saw Xu Yanqing, her heart fluttered.But it never occurred to her that Xu Yanqing, like other ordinary people, is a man of color, and he actually took a fancy to Gu Xiyan, whom she usually despises the most.

"Xu San's identity is not worthy of you, why bother—"

"Why isn't he good enough for me? He's only eighteen this year, and he's already in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Gyeonggi. He's also talented. He's born handsome and elegant, but he doesn't mess with women. His backyard is still clean. That's it. , Even my father can't do it." Liu Junyan couldn't see that Xiao Gu said that her sweetheart was not good, so she retorted coldly.

When Xiao Gu thought of those concubines of Marquis Wanqing's concubine, she felt as if a big stone had weighed on her heart.

Which man in this world does not have three wives and four concubines?The daughter is still too idealistic.

Xiao Gu said as someone who has been there: "Xu San doesn't have a room now, it doesn't mean that he won't take concubines after marriage, you don't understand the bad nature of men, they always see different things and want to change—"

"Mother is not doing well, so she judges others by herself. Xu Yanqing is different from other men, so I fell in love with him and liked him! Mother, I have made up my mind and must marry him!!" Liu Junyan suddenly Stern way.

Little Gu's heart trembled. Thinking of the scene at Xiangguo Temple, she still hesitated a little: "But Xu San is lame, and he was thinking about your sister, why did you commit the crime?"

Liu Junyan shook her head: "Xu Yanqing was just fascinated by her sister's face, he is not such a superficial man. I think I can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't believe I can't catch his eyes. Just give me a chance to get along with him, He will fall for me."

She really didn't know what else Gu Xiyan could fascinate Xu Yanqing besides her face.

Based on what she knew about Xu Yanqing, he was not the kind of vulgar man who only valued beauty.

And she knew Gu Xiyan well, she had been timid and timid for more than ten years, living in a corner where she couldn't see the light, and she had developed a cowardly temperament, such a woman who could not stand on the stage was called off by Zhou Xing before she got married.

Even Zhou Xing looks down on Gu Xiyan, Xu Yanqing has more personality than Zhou Xing, so how can he really like Gu Xiyan?But it's just a momentary obsession.

When Xiao Gu saw Liu Junyan's firm expression, she suddenly felt very heartbroken.

She felt that her daughter had fallen into a demon, so Xu San clearly didn't take her daughter seriously, why was the child so stubborn?

"I just want to marry Xu Yanqing, mother help me!" Liu Junyan said firmly, expressing her position again.

"But Xu San doesn't like you, he doesn't even want to see you, why do you demean yourself like this?" Xiao Gu is someone who has experienced this, and knows that if a man doesn't like you, no matter what you do, it will be futile.

When she first married into the Hou's mansion, she had hoped that Wan Qinghou would like her, but she later found out that his heart was taken away by Aunt He.

Who is Aunt He?I heard that she used to be the girl next to Wan Qinghou, but later she climbed into the bed. She was originally a slave and could only be a lowly maidservant, but later she was forced to become a concubine by Wan Qinghou.

She fought and snatched, but Wan Qinghou got farther and farther away from her, and then she looked away.She is a majestic Mrs. Hou, why bother with a lowly concubine?That's a matter of losing one's identity.

No matter how favored Aunt He is, she can't surpass her as a decent lady. A concubine will always be a concubine, nothing more than a thing that can't be on the stage.

"He doesn't see me, doesn't he still want to see his sister? Isn't it enough to lure him into the Hou's mansion?" Liu Junyan's lips curled into a sarcastic arc.

Little Gu sighed softly: "I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

"I won't regret it. If I give up without trying, then I will definitely regret it." Liu Junyan said in a deep voice, "Why don't you send a post to the uncle's house today and invite Xu Yanqing in the name of your father first, and see if he comes? Come to the Marquis Mansion. If he doesn't come and invites you in the name of my sister, I don't believe that you can't invite Xu San!"

Little Gu didn't persuade her anymore, and planned to let Liu Junyan try.

After Madam Qi Ambo received the invitation, she handed it to Xu Yanqing: "Son, you make up your own mind."

Xu Yanqing accepted the invitation in the name of Marquis Wan Qing, so he will naturally go this time.

Even if this was what Liu Junyan meant, he still wanted to go to the Hou's mansion to see Gu Xiyan.

After receiving this invitation, Xu Yanqing had a rare and peaceful sleep.

He deliberately adjusted his holiday with his colleagues, and went to the Hou Mansion early the next morning.

He was the first to go to the study to meet Wan Qinghou, but Wan Qinghou's attitude was no different from before, he treated him as a long-lost friend and was quite friendly to him.

While the two were chatting, Liu Junyan entered with tea.

She is wearing exquisite makeup today, her eyes are big and bright on her classical oval face, if she is not compared with Gu Xiyan, her appearance is indeed outstanding.

She is petite, smiling all over her face, how can she still see the heartbroken yesterday?
Liu Junyan deliberately observed carefully, even if she saw dislike for her on Xu Yanqing's face, she was mentally prepared.

It's a pity that Xu Yanqing just took the teacup she handed over, and didn't look at her directly.

He didn't show any likes or dislikes on his face, such a flat emotion was the greatest humiliation to her.

Xu Yanqing didn't care about Liu Junyan's mood, after chatting with Marquis Wan Qing, he explained why he came here: "Master Hou, can you send someone to invite Miss Gu? I have something to ask Miss Gu."

Marquis Wan Qing had already seen that Xu Yanqing was absent-minded, he glanced at his pale-faced direct daughter, his expression slightly restrained: "Of course it can..."

"Father, I happen to be free, shall I invite my sister over?" Liu Junyan interrupted suddenly.

Wan Qinghou took a deep look at Liu Junyan, his daughter was stubborn, she was obviously very sad, but she was still trying to be brave.

"Forget it, let's go and come back quickly." Wan Qinghou readily agreed.

Liu Junyan didn't know what kind of mood she was in. When she walked out of the study, she realized that her hands were shaking.

Xu Yanqing really didn't give her any face, and went to find Gu Xiyan in front of her and her father, wouldn't that just stomp her face on the ground?

Unexpectedly, she still wanted to torture herself, so she took this job.
