MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 279 caught by him

  Chapter 279 was captured by him

  Emperor Chengde just returned to Qiankun Palace, Zhou Xing greeted him and greeted him: "I respectfully invite my father, Emperor Jinan!"

   "Exemption." Emperor Chengde still had a faint smile on his lips.

  Zhou Xing saw it clearly, remembering that Emperor Chengde had just met Zhou Mu, which meant that Zhou Mu liked Emperor Chengde very much.

  Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to mention Zhou Mu.

  After Zhou Mu left the palace, he ordered Qi Zhiyuan to go to work, and he went to Wanqinghou Mansion.

  Earlier, Wan Qinghou had specially invited Zhou Mu to the Hou's mansion for a reunion dinner. At that time, Zhou Mu didn't give a direct answer, so Wan Qinghou was unavoidably a little nervous.

  The moment Zhou Mu came to the Hou Mansion, Wan Qinghou's heart was relieved.

  Because Liu Chaoyan was going to marry into Prince Qin's mansion soon, Wan Qinghou's two younger sisters also came to the capital to celebrate the New Year. All of them married to other places, and Liu Shufeng even brought her daughter to Beijing.

   When Gu Xiyan went to Zaohui Hall to pay her respects, Liu Shufeng's daughter Jiang Li had already arrived.

  Jiang Li is seventeen this year, and her appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she has a strong scholarly temperament. She sits quietly beside the old lady, which makes the old lady love her very much.

   I don't know why Jiang Li is already seventeen, yet he hasn't discussed marriage yet.

  Liu Chaoyan saw this scene and joked: "As soon as my cousin came, we sisters all stood aside."

  Jiang Li said shyly after hearing the words: "Cousin is used to joking."

  The old madam really loves Jiang Li, but because the Liu family sisters disappointed her, and Gu Xiyan is not close to her, now that Jiang Li is here, the old madam naturally likes it very much.

   "Sister, I heard that Mr. Zhou will have a reunion dinner at the Hou Mansion today?" Liu Chaoyan suddenly threw the topic to Gu Xiyan who was sitting quietly in a corner.

   "There is such a thing."

  What Gu Xiyan didn't say was that the reason why Zhou Mu had the reunion dinner at the Hou Mansion was to accompany her. But this year's situation is special, she must have a reunion dinner with the Liu family.

   To put it another way, Zhou Mu will also have a New Year's Eve dinner with the Liu family.

"It's so strange. Master Zhou is engaged to his sister. We still don't know where Master Zhou is and where his family is. On a day like today, don't Master Zhou need to be reunited with his family, but run away instead?" Come to our Hou's mansion for lunch?" Liu Chaoyan had long wanted to make trouble, but now she finally had an excuse.

   Liu Chaoyan's words touched the hearts of others.

  Liu Junyan didn't dare to provoke Gu Xiyan recently, and deliberately chose a seat farthest from Gu Xiyan to sit. Hearing Liu Chaoyan's question at this moment, he couldn't help pricking up his ears, wondering what kind of answer Gu Xiyan would give.

  Everyone was waiting for Gu Xiyan's answer, but at this moment the old lady said in a deep voice: "It was the Hou Mansion who invited Mr. Zhou to come to the Hou Mansion for a reunion, and Mr. Zhou rewarded him. Sister Chao, do you have any questions?"

  Liu Chaoyan's heart sank, and she met the sharp eyes of the old lady.

  The old madam said so, so she naturally couldn't continue this topic, so she put on a smile and said: "So it was what grandma meant, and I was worrying too much."

  Jiang Li is a delicate-minded person. Although she has only been in the Hou Mansion for two days, she also understands the old lady's temperament.

  The person who can protect the old lady like this must have a lot of background.

  She knew that Gu Xiyan's presence in the Hou's Mansion was not strong before, but since she got engaged to Zhou Mu, Gu Xiyan's status in the Hou's Mansion has risen.

  Although Gu Xiyan has not yet officially married Zhou Mu, Gu Xiyan has already taken advantage of Zhou Mu's momentum to turn around.

  Especially Liu Chaoyan is still the Queen of Qin, the grandmother would rather protect Gu Xiyan than Liu Chaoyan's face, so how old is Zhou Mu's background?

  Jiang Li then looked at Gu Xiyan who was sitting not far away. She had a demure posture, a beautiful appearance, black hair and snow skin. Such a prosperous beauty, even a woman couldn't help but look at her twice.

  So it's not surprising that Gu Xiyan can climb a high branch, right?

  Hou Mansion had a reunion dinner at noon. Before the reunion dinner, everyone in the Liu family would go to the ancestral hall to pay respect to their ancestors. Jiang Li happened to meet Gu Xiyan on the way to the ancestral hall.

  She took the initiative to greet Gu Xiyan: "Shall I go with my cousin?"

   "Okay." Gu Xiyan didn't refuse, but she wasn't too enthusiastic either.

  Jiang Li is not a talkative person either, the two of them chatted occasionally until they went to the ancestral hall to pay respects to their ancestors.

  Liu Chaoyan saw Jiang Li and Gu Xiyan approaching, her eyes were slightly cold.

  Liu Huiyan knew that Liu Chaoyan was unhappy, so she whispered to Liu Chaoyan: "Cousin is really too, why did you walk with big sister?"

  Jiang Li is at least the daughter of the Jiang family of a scholarly family in Suzhou, but she is getting close to Gu Xiyan, and she doesn't know what the plot is.

   Don't say that Liu Huiyan can't figure it out, and Gu Xiyan can't figure it out either.

  When Zhou Mu went to Kuanhe Hall, Gu Xiyan was talking to Jiang Li.

  Jiang Li fixed his eyes the moment he saw Zhou Mu: "Master Zhou is so good-looking."

  Gu Xiyan turned her eyes to look at Jiang Li, only to see that there was undisguised amazement in her eyes, but no color of admiration.

   "Young master is indeed good-looking." Gu Xiyan agreed.

  Zhou Mu saw Gu Xiyan at a glance among all the people, he quickened his pace, and soon arrived in front of Gu Xiyan.

  Gu Xiyan saw him looking straight at her, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, restrain yourself a little bit?"

   Don't look at her like this, so many people are paying attention to her movements.

  Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan for a while, and then praised in a low voice: "You look better than a few days ago."

  Gu Xiyan gave him a reproachful look, but didn't take his words seriously.

  Anyway, in his eyes, she looks good even in a rag.

  The old lady deliberately let Zhou Mu take the first seat, anyway, quickly announce Zhou Mu's real identity, it is normal for His Royal Highness to take the first seat.

   Zhou Mu gave up the seat and sat next to Gu Xiyan.

  Although he is a child of the royal family, he is a junior. How can he be the first? The old lady is also ridiculous.

  After seeing this scene, Liu Chaoyan frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

  Even brother A Xing never took the first seat when he came to the Hou Mansion, why did the grandmother give up the first seat when Zhou Mu came?

  She felt that this incident was very strange. Seeing this detail, Jiang Li became more and more convinced that Zhou Mu's identity was not simple.

  During the reunion dinner, Zhou Mu provided food for Gu Xiyan the whole time, taking care of Gu Xiyan in every possible way.

Gu Xiyan was so nervous that she put down her chopsticks only because of her, suddenly Zhou Mu's left hand was quietly grabbing hers under the table, and pulled her hand to his lap, she tried hard to withdraw her hand, who Knowing that he was caught back.

   I don't know if he used too much force, her hand seemed to hit something terrible...

   She choked for breath, and Zhou Mu's palms were sweating.

  It was like stealing someone in front of everyone. It was exciting and tense, and the hearts of the two of them beat faster in an instant.

  Because of guilty conscience, Gu Xiyan almost buried her head in the bowl.

   Zhou Mu held Gu Xiyan's soft and boneless little hand, and remembered the secrets of the boudoir that he had read, and the tips of his ears turned red...
