When Gu Deyin was about to enter the room, he paused and suddenly turned his head to look at Mrs. Xu. His gaze was very deep, as if he could see through Mrs. Xu.

Until this moment, she didn't know that the reason why she was pregnant with Brother Hao in her previous life was actually the Xu family's "indispensable contribution" behind it. It was not just Xu Ningyu and Liu Ruohe's scheme.

Xu is the instigator of all this.

After thinking about this, the hatred in her heart deepened, and she would fight with Xu for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Xu's scalp was numb due to Gu Deyin's gaze, or maybe there was something wrong in her mind, and she actually felt a chill down her spine.

Damn it, how can a mother-in-law be afraid of her daughter-in-law?

Thinking of this, she wanted to boost her mother-in-law's prestige. Just as she was about to say some lessons, she saw Gu Deyin withdraw his gaze, leaving her with a decisive look from behind.

Immediately, she was furious. She had never seen such an arrogant daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, this annoying daughter-in-law would disappear soon. After thinking about it, her expression returned to normal, and she did not want to go back into the house to teach Gu Deyin the principles of being a daughter-in-law.

Nowadays, it is better to have one less thing than one more thing. It is not too late to worry about it after the dust has settled.

After thinking about it, she took away her son and servants with a calm face.

Huashu saw the group leaving and quickly went inside to report to Gu Deyin.

Gu Deyin nodded coldly, but when she looked up, she saw Xu Zhilan appearing at the door, and she frowned.

Why is this person still hanging around? So thick-skinned!

"Pack up your cousin's things and send them out to Lan Xinyuan tonight."

After saying that, she gathered her cloak and stood up to go back to the inner room.

Xu Zhilan hurriedly stepped forward to hold Gu Deyin. At this moment, she ignored her own embarrassment and said eagerly, "Cousin, don't be angry with me. It's my fault this time. I apologize to you. I'm really right." Second cousin has no wrongdoing..."

Gu Deyin turned around and looked at her bruised and swollen face. She didn't know whether it was Liu Ruohe or Xu Ningyu who beat her. In short, she made a big ugly mistake tonight.

Rumors about her will probably spread throughout the mansion tomorrow, and even if the Xu family issues a hush-hush order, it will probably be useless. After all, the Hou family is not completely under Xu's control now.

"Xu Zhilan, do you think I am a fool?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhilan was a little stunned. She hurriedly concealed her true thoughts and tried to squeeze out a smile, "That's not the case. Cousin, please don't misunderstand me..."

Gu Deyin directly took out the hand she was holding, and had no interest in talking to her anymore. Instead, he turned around and went into the inner room, "Hua Shu, send the cousin girl away."

Seeing Gu Deyin like this, Xu Zhilan knew that her "friendship" with Gu Deyin could no longer be restored. She clenched her fists unwillingly and pursed her lips tightly.

Hua Shu stepped forward and asked her to leave.

She raised her head and glanced at the maid, turned around and left. She could only withdraw temporarily tonight.

When Gu Deyin was about to lie down, Hua Shu came in and reported that Xu Zhilan had been kicked out of Lan Xinyuan and was now temporarily living in Xu's Meiyuan.

"Find someone to keep an eye on her secretly, as well as the food, clothing and clothing we have here. Please pay close attention to Xiu'er and don't be careless."

Now that she has driven the dog into the alley, she must prevent her from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Hua Shu was actually a little unclear, but that didn't stop her from nodding and carrying out Gu Deyin's instructions.

Lan Xinyuan began to implement the strategy of loosening externally and tightening internally.

When Mrs. Xu saw Xu Zhilan walking in dejectedly, her face suddenly turned green with anger, and she finally sent her back to Lan Xinyuan. Fortunately, she came back within a night.

However, this niece is still needed now, and she won't turn against her, but it is really difficult to give her a good look. "Zhilan, I always thought you were a smart person, but this time you came here to stay, but you have disappointed me again and again. Being too eager for quick success and instant gain will not do you any good. I am your aunt, can I still lie to you?"

Yesterday's deliberate sleepwalking and today's affair with Ning Yu all showed that this niece was short-sighted.

Xu Zhilan also knew that she was too impatient, which led to the current unfavorable situation, but now that the matter has come to this, she must first stabilize her aunt's confidence in her.

She rushed forward and knelt in front of Mrs. Xu, but she leaned her head on her knees and cried.

"Aunt, I know I was wrong. I really want to marry and live under my aunt's knees. Since my parents passed away, you have been the closest person to me. After all, you are the only one who still thinks about my life-long events..."

Mrs. Xu liked hearing this, and her expression softened.

She stretched out her hand to caress her niece's hair, "Even if Gu Deyin gives you a thumbs up, you still have to accept her first, you know? Only by enduring hardship can you become a master."

When Xu Zhilan heard these soft words, she knew that she had passed the most difficult test. She quickly raised her head and looked at Mrs. Xu with tearful eyes.

"Auntie, I understand. No matter if she hits me or scolds me, I will never fight back or talk back. I can definitely regain her trust."

Mrs. Xu nodded and then personally helped Xu Zhilan up.

While the aunt and nephew were whispering, a servant came to report that the eldest girl was on hunger strike and demanded that her lover be released from the house, otherwise she would starve to death.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her head suddenly hurt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She said angrily, "Let her die. I will pretend that I never gave birth to her daughter."

There are so many things to do every day, and she can't share even a little bit with the house, so what's the use of her?

"Auntie, calm down."

Xu Zhilan hurriedly tried to persuade Mrs. Xu. She knew that Mr. Xu would scold her, but she still felt sorry for her daughter, so she said a lot of good things for Xu Huiyu.

But when the conversation changed, she deliberately mentioned her uncle Xu Xiaoli.

"Now that my uncle is still in prison, it is better for my aunt to make plans early. The safest way now is to get married. If there is a good in-law to help, then my uncle can settle the case quickly."

Why doesn't Mr. Xu understand this?

How can it be so easy to get married?

With the current situation in the Xuanning Hou Mansion, powerful families in the capital would avoid it and would not consider the Xu family at all.

Besides, now only the eldest daughter has some marriage value, but she is so stubborn that she can't even tell the difference between good and bad. How can anyone like her?

Xu Zhilan knew Xu's concerns, so she pretended to sigh and said, "If I find someone who is not too shrewd, maybe my cousin can fool him and get a daughter-in-law for nothing, and he will be willing to work on my uncle's affairs..."

"How can there be such a family?"

As soon as Xu finished speaking, she suddenly thought that the Minister of Punishment had a stupid legitimate son. No family in the capital was willing to marry their daughter into his family. After all, it was a matter of jumping into a pit of fire.

But now the situation is stronger than others. If she marries her eldest daughter, she will get a lot of help and her husband's case will be settled smoothly.

Xu Zhilan saw Mrs. Xu's expression changing again and again, and immediately said nothing intelligently.

She sneered in her heart.

Xu Huiyu, wait to go to hell.

The next day, Hua Chao quietly reported the news to Gu Deyin.
