Chapter 54 Hostility
Gu Yunxi's eyes fell on the brocade bag in Lin Ziyan's hand. The dark yellow brocade bag was embroidered with complicated scriptures.

A trace of inquiry flashed in Gu Yunxi's eyes: "Sister Ziyan met Master Huiming?"

"Ah."

Lin Ziyan didn't know what to think of, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a gentle smile appeared.

"I haven't congratulated my second sister on her selection as the princess regent." Lin Ziyan said with a gentle smile.

"Thank you, sister Ziyan."

Seeing Lin Ziyan's calm expression, Gu Yunxi shook her head slightly, feeling ridiculous at the sudden thought in her heart.

Sister Ziyan is the most docile and reasonable, so how could she do such absurd things, but she is too suspicious!

The two sisters walked and talked, and happened to run into Qiu Ju who was beside the old lady.

Qiu Ju walked up to the two with a happy face, saluted and said:

"Greetings to the two young ladies. The eldest young master has already returned home, and is now in the old lady's Longevity Hall. The old lady invites the two young ladies to go too."

As soon as Gu Yunxi and Lin Ziyan approached the old lady's courtyard, they heard laughter and laughter from inside.

It was completely different from yesterday's heavy atmosphere.

The two walked into the room together and saluted, "Grandmother."

"When did Ziyan come back?" the old lady asked.

"The granddaughter also just came back, and happened to run into the second sister at the gate of the house." Lin Ziyan replied softly.

"It's good to come back. You didn't come back last night. Your mother was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night."

The old lady had a smile on her face, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood.

"The old lady is used to tearing down my platform." The second lady said with a smile on her face.

After speaking, he pulled Lin Ziyan to look up and down, and felt relieved when she saw that she was still in good spirits.

"It's the granddaughter's fault that made grandma and mother worry." Lin Ziyan said apologetically.

"I don't mean to blame you. The environment in Anguo Temple is quiet and you can cultivate your body. It's better than you lying in your room all day. It's because your mother is too careful." The old lady was in a good mood, and she even talked more unconsciously.

"The old lady is right. Ziyan went to Anguo Temple, and she seems to be in better spirits than the previous two days." The second lady followed the old lady's words.

The old lady nodded slightly, looked at Gu Yunxi who was quietly standing aside, waved her hands and said:
"Xi'er, come to grandma."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi walked up to the old lady.

The old lady took Gu Yunxi's hand and asked, "Why did His Majesty summon you today?"

"Granddaughter doesn't know either. His Majesty took one look at her and left. The granddaughter didn't dare to leave without His Majesty's will. That's why she didn't return to the mansion until now." Gu Yunxi replied.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and there was a slight look of fear and bewilderment on her face.

No one in the room doubted that what she said was true.

"It seems that His Majesty is just curious, there should be no other meaning, you can rest assured." The old lady patted Gu Yunxi's hand to comfort her.

"Well, granddaughter listens to grandmother." Gu Yunxi replied obediently.

Gu Yunxi knew what the old lady was worried about.

Although Yun Chen was still young, he was the emperor after all, and the emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses.

The old lady was afraid that Yun Chen would have resentment towards the Shangshufu because of the marriage between the Shangshufu and the Prince Regent's residence, so she asked this question.

However, it is impossible to tell the truth about what happened to her in the palace today, and it would cause suspicion for no reason.

She said so now, not only can reassure the old lady, but also won't cause extra problems.

It will also kill two birds with one stone.

"This is the second sister." The man who the old lady was sitting on stood up and said.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a blue moiré gown, a jade crown, and an elegant air of a scholar.

Just looking at Gu Yunxi's gaze was very unkind.

"This is your elder brother. You just came back today. You are all blood relatives, and you will inevitably help each other in the future." The old lady said.

The old lady's words are excellent, they help each other, this is to remind Gu Yunxi and Lin Yuchuan that brother and sister should get along well.

No matter how well a woman marries, if she wants to be strong, she still has to rely on the support of her natal family.

Lin Yuchuan is the direct son of the Shangshu Mansion. He was a Jinshi in high school three years ago, and now he is returning to the mansion to prepare for next year's spring.

There is no limit to the future, the old lady did think about Lin Xi when she asked the two to befriend each other.

But more of them are planning for Lin Yuchuan.

With the banner of what is good for her, let her pave the way for Lin Yuchuan and the future of the entire Shangshu Mansion.

If she stood in the position of the old lady, I'm afraid she would make the same decision.

It's a pity that she is not Lin Xi, the old lady's plan will come to nothing after all.

"Brother." Gu Yunxi saluted.

"Congratulations to the second sister, she has to marry a noble family."

The sarcasm in Lin Yuchuan's words was undisguised, and everyone present frowned.

The eldest lady was the first to reprimand: "Yu Chuan, that's your sister!"

"Sister?" Lin Yuchuan laughed loudly, "She deserves it too!"

"What nonsense!" Da Furen said angrily.

"It's just a lowly concubine, why should mother be angry with her son because of her?" Lin Yuchuan frowned and asked.

Lin Yuchuan felt that the eldest lady seemed to have changed a lot. When had she ever looked at these concubines with a straight eye?

It's really puzzling to take the initiative to defend this lowly girl now!

Lin Yuchuan just returned to the mansion today, so the eldest lady naturally didn't want to, because an outsider blamed him.

It's just that Gu Yunxi's status in the Shangshu Mansion is not what it used to be.

The Shangshu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were torn apart, and now only the regent can be attached, so no one in the mansion would dare to show Gu Yunxi any embarrassment.

"Your sister is now the regent's unmarried wife, so don't be so unreasonable!" The eldest lady reminded.

Lin Yuchuan was not stupid, of course he knew the meaning of what the eldest lady said, but he sneered at what the eldest lady was thinking.

It's just a woman's opinion!
The relationship between the court and the court is intricate, and there is no way a woman from the back house can control it.

Do you really think that the regent is looking for her?In fact, she just fell in love with the Shangshu Mansion behind her.

But she is still self-righteous, enjoying the pursuit of everyone in the mansion, and she is as scheming as Yurou's letter said.

Yurou is so kind, how could she beat her, no wonder she was plotted so badly!

"Second sister, aren't you afraid that the higher you climb, the harder you fall?" Lin Yuchuan asked with a smile.

"Brother thinks I'm going to fall?" Gu Yunxi asked without answering.

Gu Yunxi no longer had the smile on her face when she first entered the door. Although she didn't know why Lin Yuchuan just met, he made things difficult for her.

But with her current status, she really doesn't need to look at the faces of anyone in the house.

"You! You are so eloquent!" Lin Yuchuan looked at Gu Yunxi, and there seemed to be two clusters of anger burning in his eyes.

If he dares to answer "yes", the first person who can't spare him is his father. Isn't this cursing the Shangshufu in disguise!
"Brother has been studying abroad for many years, but his mind is getting smaller and smaller." Gu Yunxi said coldly.

"What do you mean by that?!" Lin Yuchuan couldn't stand Gu Yunxi's contemptuous eyes, and shouted loudly.

In terms of talent, learning and family background, he is a top-notch existence no matter where he goes, and he has never suffered from such a useless attitude!
