When everyone present heard this, their expressions were different.

Is Master Hou going to raise Gu Xiyan as his own daughter?

The old lady is used to seeing the world, and she was also shocked by Wan Qinghou's words.

She thinks that Sister Xi is still valuable, she might as well stay in the house, with Sister Xi'er's good color, it is very easy to marry into a powerful family, and she may enter the palace as a concubine in the future.

But it won't let her son protect her like this, is there a hidden secret in this that she doesn't know?

Xiao Gu was speechless, she couldn't have imagined that Wan Qinghou, who had always cared about backyard affairs, would actually slap her face in public.

The matter has come to this point, and people can't drive it away, but she will have a way to grind Gu Xiyan in the future.

I don't know if I guessed her thoughts, and then Wan Qinghou suddenly added: "Since there is an insoluble contradiction between Mrs. and Sister Xi, from today onwards, Sister Xi doesn't have to go to Manfangyuan to say hello to Mrs. for the time being!" ”

This is to put an end to the possibility of Xiao Gu's being angry with Gu Xiyan.

There were many people present, but they were all silent.

Those who looked down on Gu Xiyan in the past, but now they can't help but look down on Gu Xiyan by three points, after all, they are protected by the head of the family.

The reason why Wan Qinghou has this explanation is that he knows that Zhou Du values Gu Xiyan.

He and Emperor Chengde have been friends for many years, and the two have been friends before Emperor Chengde became emperor. It can be said that the Liu family was a loyal supporter of Emperor Chengde, even though several princes in the period of the first emperor fought fiercely, but the Wanqing Marquis Mansion only regarded Emperor Chengde as the sole successor to the throne.

It was precisely because the struggle for the throne during the period of the first emperor was too fierce that Empress Shungong had that catastrophe and became a victim of the struggle for the throne.

At that time, Empress Shungong was pregnant with the emperor's eldest son Zhou Du, who was highly poisoned in the late stage of pregnancy and gave birth to Zhou Du when the poison occurred. Queen Shungong, who was still the crown princess at the time, gave birth to Zhou Du with the last bit of strength, and the child died as soon as she was born.

When Zhou Du was born, he was dying, and all the imperial doctors and doctors were helpless, saying that the child was out of breath, and he asked Emperor Chengde to mourn.

Just when Emperor Chengde was desperate, Master Mingjue suddenly appeared, saying that Zhou Du had a relationship with the Buddha and wanted to take Zhou Du away.

When Zhou Dui was born, it was at the time of nightfall, and Emperor Chengde hurriedly named the child "Twilight".

Emperor Chengde reluctantly handed over the child to Master Mingjue, and from then on, everyone in the world thought that Zhou Du died on the day he was born.

After ascending the throne, the first thing Emperor Chengde did was to posthumously crown the deceased crown princess as Empress Shungong, and then cleared out all the three princes and one party who poisoned Empress Shungong at that time with a thunderous wrist.

It was precisely because that battle was so tragic that Emperor Chengde felt more guilty about Zhou Dui, and when Zhou Du grew up, Emperor Chengde loved Zhou Du more and more.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Du had lived in the Fallen Immortal Temple for many years, his temperament was indifferent, and he had no desires, Emperor Chengde would not have pinned his hopes of inheriting the throne on King Qin alone.

In addition to Master Mingjue, Wan Qinghou is another person who knows Zhou Dui's identity.

In the past, Marquis Wanqing often met with Zhou Dui, and his impression of Zhou Dui was always that the wind was clear, and it was impossible for such a person to have a desire for the throne.

It wasn't until Zhou Dui and Gu Xiyan came and went back that his impression of Zhou Dui changed. It seems that because of Sister Xi'er, Zhou Du's popularity is getting stronger and stronger.

According to his understanding of Emperor Chengde, Emperor Chengde was thinking about Zhou Du and Sister Xi.

As for the list of people that Emperor Cheng De set for Sister Xi'er, most of them were also to stimulate Zhou Dui's enlightenment.

If Zhou Duzhen had possessive thoughts about Sister Xi'er, married a wife and had children, then Emperor Chengde would not necessarily give the crown prince to King Qin.

Moreover, with the character of the court sister, even if she becomes the princess of Qin, she may not be able to control the king of Qin.

Instead of pinning the hope of the Hou Mansion in the future on Sister Chao'er, he felt that Sister Xi had a better chance of winning.

When everyone else in Xiyuan dispersed, Wan Qinghou said to Gu Xiyan: "Junyan was spoiled by her mother, and she always thought that she could get what she wanted. Uncle knows that she is jealous that you have received Xu San's attention, so you don't have to worry about her. In the future, if she comes to embarrass you again, you just have to tell your uncle, and he will help you treat her. ”

Gu Xiyan didn't know if Wan Qinghou really felt sorry for her, or if he was polite to her because of Zhou Duan, she thought it was probably the latter.

The Liu family is cold in her bones, and she doesn't dare to expect too much from the Liu family.

"Today is also Xiyan's too impulsive, and she shouldn't leave her sister on the street." Gu Xiyan knew that he still had to make a living in the Hou Mansion, and it was not good to offend Wan Qinghou, so he finally lowered his posture.

In fact, if she is given another chance to choose, she will still drive Liu Junyan off the carriage.

"Child, my uncle has also neglected you all these years, and it is the Liu family who owes you. What kind of character Junyan is, I, who is a father, also know, she is too strong, she always thinks that she can get what she wants, but people's hearts are the most uncontrollable. Wan Qinghou patted Gu Xiyan's shoulder and said earnestly: "I am not only your child's uncle, but also your uncle, I just hope that one day, you can call me uncle." ”

Gu Xiyan didn't feel anything when she heard this.

Speaking of which, Wan Qinghou hasn't taken her seriously all these years, but at least, Wan Qinghou has never felt sorry for her, which is a rare warmth for the Liu family.

"Today, my uncle made a special trip for Xiyan's bad thing, is it Xiyan's, Xiyan sent my uncle." Gu Xiyan said softly.

Wan Qinghou asked some more about her daily affairs before leaving Xiyuan, and then went to the old lady's Zaohui Hall.

The old lady had just sat down, still pondering Wan Qinghou's attitude towards Gu Xiyan, and when he saw Wan Qinghou coming to Zaohui Hall, he knew that Wan Qinghou had something to say.

"Are you here for Sister Xi?" The old lady immediately guessed Wan Qinghou's intention.

"Last time, my son said that the emperor's grace is vast, and this is not a lie. Mother still has to take care of Xiyuan in the future, and she can't let Sister Xi be angry with the Liu family. If Junyan and them don't have long eyes, you just have to teach them a lesson. Sister Xi must not leave the Hou Mansion, she will always be the eldest daughter of the Liu family, this is the attitude of her son! Wan Qinghou's expression was extraordinarily solemn.

The old lady has long passed the age of curiosity, but at this moment she still can't help but ask: "Is there any secret in Sister Xi'er, is it related to the royal family?" Tell me about it. ”

Wan Qinghou shook his head and said, "My son can't say anything." As long as the mother knows, Sister Xi is a capable person, and it is still unknown what kind of creation she will have in the future. That's all the son said, hoping that his mother would listen. ”

The old lady thought about it secretly, but she was still puzzled: "Sister Chao'er discussed family affairs with His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Qin treats Sister Chao'er very well, there is Sister Chao'er, plus His Royal Highness King Qin has face in front of His Majesty, no matter what Sister Xi has to do, she can't surpass Sister Chao'er?" ”

It's not that His Majesty has taken a fancy to Sister Xi.

But she didn't think it was possible. Because that batch of look-a-side lists was specially prepared by His Majesty for Sister Xi'er, it is impossible for His Majesty to have that kind of mind for Sister Xi.
