MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 298 bet on the next emperor

  Chapter 298 Betting on the next emperor

   Gu Xiyan picked what the old lady liked to hear, and when the old lady left, the smile on her face quickly faded away.

  As soon as the old lady left, Hu Die ran in and said, "Liu Er wants to find someone to send a message to the outside of the Hou's mansion, saying that you harmed her, should we stop it?"

   "No need, let her do it, I'm trying to make things big." Gu Xiyan said softly.

  Hu Die was still worried: "I'm afraid that things will get out of hand and your reputation will be ruined. It's not worth it."

"I've been accused of beating my parents and my mother since I was a child, and I've heard all kinds of bad rumors, so what's there to be afraid of?" Gu Xiyan gave Hu Die a comforting smile: "I know what you're worried about, but I have nothing to lose, and Mr. Zhou will not reject me because of my bad reputation."

  Furthermore, she still has her future, and the complex plan has just begun.

  Whether it is Li Shi, Liu Shuzheng, or Liu Chaoyan, they are all in her revenge plan.

   "Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind." Hu Die was no longer in a hurry.

  As Hu Die said, Liu Chaoyan spread rumors unfavorable to her behind Gu Xiyan's back.

  For a while, the public opinion in the market pushed Gu Xiyan to the peak again.

  The grievances and resentments between Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan are simply more exciting than scripted stories, and they have become the stuff of common people's after-dinner conversation.

  After hearing the news, Zhou Mu also came to Gu Xiyan.

   Gu Xiyan said that he knew it well, so he didn't repeat himself.

  He just regretted that he was not by her side when Gu Xiyan was splashed with dirty water. She was so young back then, and she was almost kicked out of the Hou's mansion and left homeless.

   "Xiyan, tell me about your childhood." Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan, looking up and down: "I'm very curious about what you looked like when you were young."

  If the poison in his body is detoxified in the future, he can give birth to a little girl like her, maybe it will be the appearance of Xiyan when she was a child?

   I don’t know if he still has the chance to have children in this life.

"I also lived in Xiyuan when I was young. Mother Shen was my mother's dowry maid. Chunhua Qiushi was very young when she came to serve me. The two of them grew up with me. I didn't have any impressive things when I was young, just a Saw-mouthed gourds, the mouth is not sweet, and on big days like New Years and holidays, I am the least of the sense of existence..."

  Gu Xiyan talked a lot, but found that she couldn't find a meaningful thing to say.

   Zhou Mu let her lean on his shoulder: "Speaking of which, I am similar to you."

   "What was the young master like when he was a child?" Gu Xiyan asked curiously.

"As far as I can remember, I drank medicine every day and got sick. At that time, I didn't understand why Zhiyuan and Nanny didn't need to take medicine, but I soaked in the medicine jar every day." Speaking of childhood, Zhou Mu only felt those things. Things are a little fuzzy and distant.

   "That young master is much worse than me, at most I just don't have a playmate." Gu Xiyan held Zhou Mu's hand tightly: "I will stay with you from now on, we have companions."

   Zhou Mu couldn't help laughing, "You and I are truly a match made in heaven, there is no one more suitable than us."

  They are all people with weak kinship. They grew up alone when they were young, but they were lucky to meet each other.

  Gu Xiyan agrees with Zhou Mu's thoughts in her heart.

  If they were not destined, she would not have stayed by his side after death in her previous life.

  Perhaps it is true what Master Mingjue said, she and Zhou Mu are destined to marry each other.

  In the next few days, the grievances between Gu Xiyan and Liu Chaoyan intensified, and some troublesome people even dug out the fact that Gu Xiyan was ordered by an eminent monk when she was a child.

  Now the same rumors fall on Liu Chaoyan, and everyone feels that the history is surprisingly similar.

  The next two sisters will get married on the same day, which is really a good show.

  Because the grievances between Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan were so exciting that everyone almost forgot the important event that Emperor Chengde's eldest prince was still alive.

  The eldest prince is still alive, which means that the battle for crown prince is no longer a one-man show for King Qin alone.

  As far as Zhou Xing is concerned, what he really cares about is not the love and resentment between the Liu family sisters, but that Zhou Mu is like a poisonous snake, who is likely to open his **** mouth at any time and swallow him up.

  The saddest thing is that he originally wanted Liu Chaoyan to get close to Gu Xiyan, and then use Gu Xiyan to deal with Zhou Mu in the future, but there is such a quarrel between Liu Chaoyan and Gu Xiyan, how could Gu Xiyan be close to Liu Chaoyan again?

   Before he even started to make a good move, he had reached a dead end.

  Of course, not only Zhou Xing found out that Zhou Mu might be the eldest son of Emperor Chengde, but other astute ministers also found that Zhou Mu was valued by Emperor Chengde.

  The most important thing is that Zhou Mu is an official of the household department who was suddenly brought up by Emperor Chengde himself. Zhou Mu is just 20 years old this year, and his age coincides with the time of Empress Shun Gong's death.

  When interested people went to check Zhou Mu's exact birthday, they found that Zhou Mu's birthday was exactly 20, and the month and day were not accurate. Which official's birthday would be so vague?

   Isn't it because of something strange that Zhou Mu's exact birthday was obscured?

  The first minister found out about Zhou Mu. As the boss of the household department, Mai Shangshu must have a certain awareness. When he found out about Zhou Mu, suddenly many details emerged.

  For example, Zhou Mu is always neither humble nor overbearing when facing him. Sometimes when he stands in front of Zhou Mu, he always has the illusion that he is shorter than him.

  For example, once Princess Yongjia came to the official office, Zhou Mu was not afraid of power and directly drove Princess Yongjia out of the official office.

For example, after Zhou Mu became the right servant of the household department, he did not go to court for a long time, and even he, the minister, could not control him. Until one day when Zhou Mu went to the morning court, Emperor Chengde was very excited during that morning court, calling Zhou Mu's name from time to time. Zhou Mu's eyes were also very kind.

   All the above details let him know that he has touched the edge of the truth. If there is no accident, Zhou Mu is the eldest son of the emperor that all his colleagues are secretly looking for.

  So that when Mai Shangshu saw Zhou Mu, he couldn't help nodding and bowing, attracting the attention of some officials who didn't know.

   On the contrary, it was Zhou Mu himself who didn't notice anything unusual about Mai Shangshu.

  Mai Shangshu communicated with several officials who were officials in the same dynasty, and found a teahouse after he left his post. The name was to drink tea and chat to cultivate friendship among colleagues, but in fact, he discussed matters related to the eldest prince.

  When Mai Shangshu arrived, Zhao Wen, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Qiu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Zhonghe, Minister of Dali Temple, also arrived.

  Everyone is not very close at ordinary times. After all, what Emperor Chengde most taboo is the formation of cliques between North Korean and Chinese officials. In order to avoid suspicion, everyone should not communicate too frequently.

   Only this time is related to the sudden resurrection of the eldest prince who disappeared for 20 years, and it is related to the next emperor. If the bet is wrong, the whole family may lose.

  Everyone is afraid of being on the wrong team in this kind of thing, so they are very nervous and want to get some news from Mai Shangshu.
