When Gu Xiyan returned to Xiyuan, Qiu Shi asked her, "Does the girl believe the old lady's words?" ”

"It doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, but I don't believe anyone in the Liu family. Since my grandmother said that Lord Xu was better, then I targeted my husband on Lord Xu. Gu Xiyan already had a plan.

What she was most afraid of was that the old lady rejected the matchmaker of the Yongcheng Mansion, in order to send her to the Qin Palace's mansion as a side concubine. If she is with Zhou, then isn't she on the desperate road of her previous life?

She was never reborn and returned to relive the tragedy of her previous life, her life had to be controlled by herself, and she couldn't count on the Liu family.

"What the girl said is, should I contact Lord Xu?" Akimi asked in a low voice.

"It's not appropriate to contact directly, it's better to do this, you help me go to Jixiang Building to send a letter to Shopkeeper Wu. Mr. Xu often went to Jixianglou for dinner, and asked Mr. Wu to hand over the letter to Mr. Xu. Gu Xiyan quickly made a decision.

Qiu Shi thought this was a good idea and was planning to do it. I didn't expect that this time, the matchmaker was idle in Wanqinghou Mansion, and actually spread what the old lady said in the capital.

For a while, Gu Xiyan's name spread throughout the capital again.

There are also people who eat melons and watch dramas, saying that her Gu Xiyan's life is thinner than paper, and her heart is higher than the sky, obviously she is just an orphan daughter of her father and mother, and she can't even look down on a noble family like the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, and she doesn't know what kind of family she wants to marry.

When Dong Yong knew about this, it was too late to stop it, he didn't expect the matchmaker to spread unfavorable rumors about Gu Xiyan everywhere.

If he had known this, he should have asked the matchmaker to shut up.

This matter spread in the capital, not only Dong Yong heard about it, Xu Yanqing also knew about it.

He secretly cursed Dong Yong, this is a disgusting person, and he actually made Gu Xiyan infamy.

Because he was worried about Gu Xiyan, he finally managed to stay up until the next duty time, so he hurriedly left the official office.

Who knew that Zhou Du was out of the official office earlier than him, and the carriage was about to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly thought, could it be that Zhou Duan was also in a hurry to return home because of Gu Xiyan?

The thought flashed through him, and it took root in his mind.

From the moment he first saw Zhou Dui, he had an inexplicable hostility towards Zhou Dui, plus he had the same sandalwood on his body as Gu Xiyan, and he couldn't find or mix the same incense.

Zhou Du just glanced at Xu Yanqing lightly, and didn't say hello to Xu Yanqing.

"Let's go!" Zhou Du lowered the curtain and ordered Zhiyuan.

After Qi Zhiyuan drove away, Xu Yanqing got into the carriage and ordered someone to go to the Wanqing Marquis's Mansion.

At the same time, Wanqinghou Mansion was very lively, just because Zhou Xing came.

He, the prince, came to Wanqinghou Mansion, and the happiest was of course Liu Chaoyan.

But Zhou Xing was absent-minded, he looked left and right, but there was no trace of Gu Xiyan.

He came for Gu Xiyan this time, just because the Dong family suddenly came to the Liu family to talk about the matchmaker, so he discovered another thing, Emperor Chengde was actually acting as a matchmaker for Gu Xiyan.

The most ridiculous thing is that this matter has already spread among the upper circles, and Dong Yong has already seen Gu Xiyan, but he is the last to know.

For this reason, he scolded Zhao De so much that Zhao De didn't dare to say a word.

Liu Chaoyan saw that Zhou Xing was absent-minded, and the smile on her face was a little unbearable, but it was not good to show it on her face.

Zhou Xing sat for a while, and when he saw that no one mentioned Gu Xiyan, he couldn't help but ask this time, "What about Xiyan?" ”

Only then did he mention Gu Xiyan's name, and everyone present fell silent.

The smile on Li's face condensed in an instant, and she said sharply: "This kind of thing is rumored, the eldest girl has no face to see people, and this child must be hiding in Xiyuan and crying bitterly." ”

Gu Xiyan has become the laughing stock of the whole city, and there is nothing happier than these people who don't like Gu Xiyan.

"This king is going to see her." Zhou Xing didn't want to look at Li's scathing face, and his expression was cold.

Li pushed Liu Shuzheng, Liu Shuzheng understood, and hurriedly stopped: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is rare to come here, why don't you accompany Chaoyan more, this kid talks about His Highness every day." His Royal Highness will marry Chaoyan after the year, and the two should cultivate more feelings. ”

At this time, the old lady appeared with the support of Aunt Ci and answered: "Sister Xi is on the cusp of the storm, please ask Your Highness to be sympathetic to Sister Xi, don't make her more difficult to behave." ”

"There is this king in his pocket, what are you afraid of? Previously, this king said that when this king and Chaoyan get married next year, he will let Xiyan also be the king's side concubine, and no one will dare to say that she is not half a sentence at that time. Zhou Xing didn't want to play dumb riddles with the Liu family, so he simply picked out the topic.

As soon as he said this, the Liu family was collectively silent.

Liu Chaoyan's eyes were red with anger, she tugged at Li's cuffs, and Li tugged at Liu Shuzheng's cuffs.

Liu Shu is Gu Xiyan's biological father, and whether he is related by blood, it is only fitting for him to reject Zhou Xing's proposal.

Liu Shuzheng has always been without Gu Xiyan's daughter, if Gu Xiyan followed Zhou Xing, wouldn't Chaoyan have to serve with Gu Xiyan in the future?

He couldn't let that happen to his baby daughter.

"Xiyan's life is not good, father and mother, Your Highness must stay away from Xiyan. She even restrained me, her biological father, and killed her biological mother, if His Royal Highness gets too close to Xiyan, I am only afraid of ......" Liu Shuzheng's unfinished words made people think about it.

Zhou Xing frowned when he heard this.

The matter of Gu Xiyanke's father and mother had already spread in the capital, but he just scoffed at it at the time and didn't take it seriously.

But because Gu Xiyan was embarrassed in the Hou Mansion, he still chose to withdraw from Gu Xiyan.

"According to the rumor that the king sees the father and the mother needs to be verified. Aren't you okay, not wearing and not rotting? Zhou Xing hooked his lips sarcastically.

Liu Shuzheng, a waste, can enjoy the happiness of the Liu family, isn't it stained with the light of Wanqinghou?

Liu Shuzheng didn't expect Zhou Xing to ignore him, a prospective father-in-law, at all, and this sentence was clearly a slap in the face. It's just that he is the prince that His Majesty values the most, and he can't have any dissatisfaction with King Qin.

"What His Highness said is true, but Xiyan's life is thin, and there is really no blessing to serve His Highness." Liu Shuzheng didn't give up, and wanted to persuade again.

Zhou Xing smiled coldly: "Whether Xiyan is blessed or not is a matter of this king's words, don't bother you as an outsider, you are not Xiyan's father now, and you are not qualified to decide her marriage." This king is going to see Xiyan! ”

Seeing that Zhou Xing was so arrogant, the old lady really had no choice, so she had to stand up and say, "Your Highness, please stop!" ”

"The old lady also wants to stop this king?" Zhou Xing looked at the old lady coldly.

The old lady has been in charge of the backyard of the Liu family for many years, but she is not afraid of Zhou Xing's momentum, she replied indifferently: "Regarding the reputation of the eldest daughter of the Liu family, the old lady has to stop His Highness." If His Royal Highness really pities Sister Xi'er, don't make her difficult to be. Hengzhu is not far from the day when His Royal Highness will get married next year, His Royal Highness has more patience, Sister Xi is in the Hou Mansion and can't run. ”

It's really next year, when Zhou Xing wants to take Sister Naxi'er, the situation may be different, she can only delay it for a day.
