Gu Xiyan's eyelids drooped, and her long eyelashes like crow's feathers cast a thick shadow, making her eyebrows more gentle and harmless: "I like the name Xiyan more and more, although after all these years, I still miss the grace of your mother and daughter." Besides, Liu Shuzheng, if he hadn't driven me out of the house back then, how could I have the opportunity to raise it in the name of the Hou Ye? ”

The sun was shining outside the window, and the golden leaky sun penetrated through the cracks in the window edges, sparsely sprinkled on Gu Xiyan's body, and her fine eyes seemed to have thousands of starlight, so warm and bright that Liu Chaoyan was frightened.

In her cognition, Gu Xiyan should be humble, cowardly, silent, and silent, not as warm and tough as at this moment, like a willow, obviously weak, but constantly folding.

Liu Chaoyan was suddenly a little afraid of such a Gu Xiyan, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.

"Finally, I would like to thank you for helping me cut off the connection between His Royal Highness King Qin and me. There is a poem that says, "Whoever forsakes me, he shall not remain yesterday." Liu Chaoyan, what you get may not be precious. However, I wish you the best of luck. ”

Liu Chaoyan's face was pale, how could she not hear the disapproval in Gu Xiyan's tone: "You, you mean that Brother Ah Xing may not be precious?!" ”

Obviously, Zhou Xing is all 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 tugged at Liu Chaoyan's distorted cheeks, her apricot eyes were as gentle as water: "You have to always remember that Liu Chaoyan is an innocent, lively and kind noblewoman, and her hideous expression does not match the character you set, you will be the noble person of Princess Qin in the future." ”

Liu Chaoyan was instantly annoyed and angry, she waved away Gu Xiyan's hand and threw her palm at Gu Xiyan.

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

The old lady never thought that Liu Chaoyan, who was well-behaved, intelligent, lively and kind in her eyes, would have such a gaffe.

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

Gu Xiyan's recent performance is very popular with her, and she once felt that if Gu Xiyan could have such a concubine style earlier, then marrying King Qin might still be able to restrain King Qin.

It's a pity that King Qin withdrew from the marriage and proposed to his sister again, so he can only blame Gu Xiyan for his thin life.

It's just that Liu Xiyan, who is usually the most intimate and sensible, has now become hateful, which she never expected.

After Liu Chaoyan was stunned at first, she quickly regained her senses, and tears condensed in her eyes, "Grandmother ......"

"If I go back to my grandmother, it's my sister who is not good. What my sister just said is indeed the truth, I have no father or mother, I just live in the Hou Mansion, I should be informed and interested, and 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.

She forbears and pretends to be strong, which makes the old lady feel uncomfortable.

Yes, this child should have been the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, her mother died early and was abandoned by her father, obviously her surname was Liu, but in the end she took her mother's surname. said that it was raised in the Hou Mansion, and it was really under the fence.

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

"Doesn't the second girl's conscience hurt when she says this? How many times has the second girl ridiculed the eldest girl, and now even the eldest girl's marriage has been robbed by the second girl, can't the second girl let the eldest girl go?! Qiu Shi hit Liu Chaoyan's defense in time.

"Sister Chao, you go to the ancestral hall now to punish you for kneeling, you can't get up without my order." The old lady had heard of these things, too.

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, he also gave up on Gu Xiyan. But no matter how bad Gu Xiyan is, she is also the eldest daughter of Wanqing Hou Mansion.

Liu Chaoyan's face was pale, and she had a hard time arguing, but when she saw the old lady's solemn expression, she understood that she couldn't avoid it this time.

She shed a few tears and choked up: "It's Chaoyan's fault, grandmother Mo is angry." Ming'er is my grandmother's birthday, if my grandmother has something to do......"

"Grandmother is strong and will live a hundred years." Gu Xiyan interrupted Liu Chaoyan's words.

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

When she saw the old lady's ugly face again, she knew that she had said something wrong again, so she had to bend down and retire and go 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 his head silently, even the grievances were silent.

"Living to my grandmother's age, I only hope that the family house is safe and the Hou Mansion is getting better and better."

The meaning of the beating in the old lady's words, Gu Xiyan could hear it.

"That's what Grandmother said. 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 is not jealous of Liu Xiyan being able to marry into the Qin Palace.

The old lady felt that Gu Xiyan didn't seem to be lying, and her heart was settled.

After that, Zaohuitang sent the ointment, and Gu Xiyan applied it to his face, although it had some effect, but it had not completely reduced the swelling.

"How's that for good? Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday banquet, how can the girl's face be swollen like this? Chunhua was startled.

Gu Xiyan and Gu Ying felt self-pitying, but they were very satisfied with their face.

Liu Chaoyan's palm not only made the old lady face up to her existence again, but also allowed Zhou Xing to see her take a detour tomorrow, killing two birds with one stone.

Following.

The swelling on Gu Xiyan's face has not disappeared, she put on an old-fashioned and kitsch makeup, and deliberately changed into old-fashioned clothes.

Chunhua and Qiushi were very dissatisfied with Gu Xiyan's deliberate ugliness of themselves, but in the end, they couldn't resist Gu Xiyan's insistence.

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

From a distance, she saw a few girls from the Wanqing Hou Mansion surrounding the old lady, which was very lively, and she didn't see Liu Chaoyan alone.

Gu Xiyan didn't want to be bored and ruin the atmosphere, so she let Chunhua and Qiushi go to busy themselves, and she went to a place where there were few people.

Coincidentally, she walked to the flower hall when she saw a girl ring rushing into Zhou Xing's arms.

Zhou Xing saw that a woman suddenly threw herself into his arms, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, he pushed the person away, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar girl turn around and want to leave.

He recognized it at a glance, it was Gu Xiyan.

Half a month has passed since he last saw Gu Xiyan.

"Xiyan, come here!" Zhou Xing shouted.

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

Who knew that Zhou Xing caught up and blocked her way: "I called you, didn't you hear?" ”

She looked blank and bowed to Zhou Xing: "The people's daughter respectfully invites His Highness Jin An, Your Highness is blessed!" ”
