MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 56 lure him into the marquis
Chapter 56 Lure him into the Hou Mansion
With a plan in mind, Gu Xiyan's heart finally settled down.
I still remember the year when Liu Shuzheng wanted to drive her out of the mansion, and she will never forget the panic and fear at that time in her life.
She was afraid of being on the street, and even more afraid of being homeless. Those were the days when she felt most insecure.
Now that she has grown up, even if she is driven out of the Hou Mansion, she has no fear in her heart.
Compared to the tranquility and peace of the West Garden, the East Garden is shrouded in gloom and mist.
Liu Junyan finally stopped crying, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Seeing his beloved daughter haggard like this, little Gu's resentment toward Gu Xiyan deepened.
"Junyan, don't feel bad, there are so many good men in the capital, which one is better than Xu Sangong?" Xiao Gu comforted Liu Junyan while holding her catkin.
Liu Junyan smiled sadly: "But I just like Xu Yanqing!"
When she first saw Xu Yanqing, her heart fluttered. But it never occurred to her that Xu Yanqing, like other ordinary people, was a man of lust, and he actually took a fancy to Gu Xiyan, whom she usually despised the most.
"Xu San's identity is not worthy of you, why do you—"
"Why isn't he good enough for me? He's only eighteen this year, and he's already the head of the household department in Gyeonggi. He's also talented. , Even my father can't do it." Liu Junyan couldn't see that Xiao Gu said that her sweetheart was not good, so she retorted coldly.
Little Gu thought of those concubines of Marquis Wan Qing's concubines, and felt as if a big stone had weighed on her heart.
Which man in this world does not have three wives and four concubines? The daughter is still too idealistic.
Little Gu said as someone who has been there: "Xu San doesn't have a concubine now, it doesn't mean he won't take concubines after he gets married, you don't understand the bad nature of men, they are always willing to change their minds—"
"Mother is not doing well, so she judges others by herself. Xu Yanqing is different from other men, so I fell in love with him and liked him! Mother, I have made up my mind and I must marry him!" Liu Junyan suddenly looked serious road.
Little Gu's heart trembled. Thinking of the scene at Xiangguo Temple, she still hesitated a little: "But Xu San is lame, and it was your sister who was reading, why did you commit the crime?"
Liu Junyan shook her head: "Xu Yanqing was just fascinated by her sister's face, he is not such a superficial man. I think I can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't believe I can't catch his eyes. Just give me a chance to get along with him, He will fall for me."
She really didn't know what else about Gu Xiyan could fascinate Xu Yanqing besides her face.
Based on her understanding of Xu Yanqing, he is not the kind of vulgar man who only cares about beauty.
And she knew Gu Xiyan well, she had been timid and timid for more than ten years, living in a corner where she couldn't see the light, and she had a cowardly temperament, so that such a woman who was not on the stage was disengaged by Zhou Xing before she got married.
Zhou Xing even looks down on Gu Xiyan, Xu Yanqing has more personality than Zhou Xing, so how can he really like Gu Xiyan? But it's just a momentary obsession.
When Xiao Gu saw Liu Junyan's determined expression, he suddenly felt very heartbroken.
She felt that her daughter had fallen into a demon, so Xu San clearly didn't take her daughter seriously. Why was the child so stubborn?
"I just want to marry Xu Yanqing, mother help me!" Liu Junyan said firmly, expressing her position again.
"But Xu San doesn't like you, he doesn't even want to see you, why do you demean yourself like this?" Xiao Gu is someone who has experienced it, and knows that if a man doesn't like you, no matter what you do, it will be futile.
When she first married into the Hou's mansion, she had hoped that Wan Qinghou would like her, but she later found out that his heart was taken away by Aunt He.
Then who is Aunt He? I heard that she used to be the girl next to Wan Qinghou, but later she climbed into the bed. She was originally a slave and could only be a lowly maidservant, but later she was forced to become a concubine by Wan Qinghou.
She fought and snatched, but Wan Qinghou got farther and farther away from her, and then she looked away. She is a majestic Mrs. Hou, why bother with a lowly concubine? That's a matter of losing one's identity.
No matter how favored Aunt He is, she can't get better than her upstanding lady. A concubine will always be a concubine, nothing more than a thing that can't be put on the stage.
"He doesn't see me, doesn't he still want to see his sister? Isn't it enough to lure him into the Hou's mansion?" Liu Junyan's lips curled into a sarcastic arc.
Little Gu sighed softly: "I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
"I won't regret it. If I give up without trying, then I will definitely regret it." Liu Junyan said in a deep voice, "Why don't you send a post to the uncle's house today and invite Xu Yanqing in the name of your father first, and see if he comes? Come to the Marquis Mansion. If he doesn't come and invites you in the name of my sister, I don't believe that you can't invite Xu San!"
Little Gu didn't persuade her anymore, and planned to let Liu Junyan have a try.
After receiving the invitation, Mrs. Qi Ambo handed it to Xu Yanqing: "Son, you make up your own mind."
Xu Yanqing accepted the invitation in the name of Marquis Wan Qing, so he will naturally go this time.
Even if this is Liu Junyan's intention, he still wants to enter the Hou's mansion to see Gu Xiyan.
After receiving this invitation, Xu Yanqing had a rare and peaceful sleep.
He specially adjusted his holiday with his colleagues, and went to Hou Mansion early the next morning.
He first went to the study to meet Wan Qinghou, but Wan Qinghou's attitude was the same as before.
While the two were having a hot chat, Liu Junyan entered with tea.
She is wearing exquisite makeup today, her eyes are big and bright on her classic melon-seeded face, if she is not compared with Gu Xiyan, her appearance is indeed outstanding.
She is petite and smiles all over her face. How can she still see the heartbroken yesterday?
Liu Junyan deliberately observed carefully, even if she saw dislike for her on Xu Yanqing's face, she was mentally prepared.
It's a pity that Xu Yanqing just took the teacup she handed over, and didn't look at her directly.
He didn't show any likes or dislikes on his face, such a flat emotion was the greatest humiliation to her.
Xu Yanqing didn't care about Liu Junyan's mood, after chatting with Marquis Wan Qing, he explained why he came: "Master Hou, can you send someone to invite Ms. Gu? I have something to ask Ms. Gu."
Marquis Wan Qing had already seen that Xu Yanqing was absent-minded. He glanced at his pale-faced direct daughter, and his expression was slightly restrained: "Of course it can..."
"Father, I happen to be free, shall I invite my sister over?" Liu Junyan interrupted suddenly.
Hou Wanqing took a deep look at Liu Junyan. His daughter is stubborn. She is obviously very sad, but she is still trying to be brave.
"Forget it, let's go and come back quickly." Wan Qinghou readily agreed.
Liu Junyan didn't know what kind of mood she was in. When she walked out of the study, she realized that her hands were shaking.
Xu Yanqing really didn't give her any face, and was going to find Gu Xiyan in front of her and her father. Isn't this stomping her face on the ground?
Unexpectedly, she had to torture herself, so she took this job.
