MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 3 Those who abandon me must not stay
Chapter 3 Those who abandon me must not stay
Gu Xiyan's eyelids drooped, and the long eyelashes like crow feathers cast thick shadows, making her brows and eyes more gentle and harmless: "I like the name Xiyan more and more. Even though it has been many years, I still miss you all." Mother and daughter's gift of names. Besides Liu Shuzheng, if he didn't drive me out of the mansion back then, how could I have the opportunity to be raised under the name of Lord Hou?"
The sun was shining outside the window, and the golden leaking sun penetrated through the gaps in the window edges, and scattered all over Gu Xiyan's body. There seemed to be thousands of stars in her tiny eyes, which were so warm and bright that Liu Chaoyan was startled.
In her cognition, Gu Xiyan should be humble, cowardly, silent, and silent, not as warm and tough as she is now, like a willow, obviously weak, but it can't break no matter what.
Liu Chaoyan was suddenly afraid of Gu Xiyan like this, but she didn't know what she was afraid of.
"Finally, let me talk about His Highness King Qin. I also want to thank you for helping me cut off the bond between His Highness King Qin and me. There is a poem that says, those who abandon me will not keep the day of yesterday. Liu Chaoyan, what you got Things don't have to be precious. But I wish you the best of luck."
Liu Chaoyan's complexion changed a lot, so she couldn't hear the disapproval in Gu Xiyan's tone: "You, you mean Brother Ah Xing may not be precious?!"
Obviously Zhou Xing is all about Gu Xiyan, without Zhou Xing, Gu Xiyan will definitely wither and wither.
But why is Gu Xiyan getting more and more dazzling?
Gu Xiyan stepped forward and gently pulled Liu Chaoyan's distorted cheeks, her almond eyes were as gentle as water: "You must always remember that Liu Chaoyan is an innocent, lively and kind lady, and her ferocious expression does not match the temperament you set. You will be the nobleman of Princess Qin in the future."
Liu Chaoyan instantly became angry from embarrassment, she waved away Gu Xiyan's hand, and threw a palm at Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan could have avoided it, but the moment she saw the corner of the old lady's clothes, she endured the palm.
The old lady never expected that in her eyes, Liu Chaoyan, who is clever, lively and kind, would lose her composure like this.
She asked in a deep voice: "Sister Chao, how can you slap your sister?!"
Gu Xiyan's recent performance has won her heart very much. She once felt that if Gu Xiyan could have such a daughter-in-law demeanor earlier, then marrying King Qin might be able to hold back King Qin one or two.
It's a pity that the King of Qin retired and proposed marriage to his elder sister Chao. Gu Xiyan can only be blamed for his poor fate.
It's just that Liu Chaoyan, who was usually the most caring and sensible, has become hideous now, which is beyond her expectation.
After the initial astonishment, Liu Chaoyan quickly regained her senses, with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother..."
"If you go back to grandma, it's because I'm not good at being an older sister. What my sister said just now is indeed the truth. I have no father and no mother. I just live in the Hou's mansion. I should know the truth. I should take a detour when I see my sister in the future. " Gu Xiyan's eyes were red as she spoke, and she raised her head to force back the tears in her eyes.
Her forbearance and pretending to be strong made the old lady feel uncomfortable.
That's right, this child was supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Hou family. Her mother died young and was abandoned by her father. She was named Liu, but she took her mother's surname in the end. It is said that it is raised in the Hou's mansion, but it is really living under the fence.
"No, no, I didn't say that..." For the first time in his life, Liu Chaoyan was so suppressed by Gu Xiyan that he could not speak.
"Does the second girl have a conscience for saying this? How many times has the second girl taunted the eldest girl, and now even the eldest girl's marriage has been robbed by the second girl, can the second girl let the eldest girl go?!" Qiu Shi called in time. Duan Liu Chaoyan's defense.
"Sister Chao, you are now punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and you cannot get up without my order." The old lady has also heard about these things.
In the past, Gu Xiyan would only give in. In recent years, she has become more and more disappointed with this girl. Over time, she also gave up on Gu Xiyan. But no matter how bad Gu Xiyan is, she is also the eldest daughter of Wanqinghoufu.
Liu Chaoyan's face was pale, she couldn't speak, but when she saw the solemn expression of the old lady, she knew that she couldn't avoid it this time.
She shed a few tears, and said in a choked voice: "It's Chaoyan's fault, grandma is so angry. Tomorrow is grandma's birthday, if grandma has something good or bad..."
"Grandmother has a strong body and will live a long life." Gu Xiyan interrupted Liu Chaoyan.
Liu Chaoyan's face changed again: "I, I'm not cursing grandma..."
When she saw the ugly face of the old lady again, she knew that she had said something wrong again, so she had to bow down and leave, and went to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment.
As soon as Liu Chaoyan left, the old lady took Gu Xiyan's hand and sat down: "Sister Xi, you have been wronged."
Gu Xiyan shook her head silently, even her grievances were silent.
"Live to my grandmother's age, I just hope that the house will be safe and the Hou Mansion will get better and better."
Gu Xiyan could hear the beating meaning in the old lady's words.
"Grandmother said so. The granddaughter only hopes to marry a loyal and honest person in the future and live a smooth life." Gu Xiyan replied softly.
This is also to appease the old lady, she doesn't hate Liu Xiyan for marrying into Prince Qin's mansion.
The old lady felt that Gu Xiyan did not seem to be lying, so she settled down.
Afterwards, Zaohuitang brought ointment, and Gu Xiyan applied it on her face. Although it had some effect, the swelling had not completely subsided.
"What should I do? Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday banquet. How can a girl meet people with her swollen face?" Chunhua said in surprise.
Gu Xiyan pities herself, but is very satisfied with her face.
Liu Chaoyan's slap not only made the old lady face up to her existence again, but also made Zhou Xing tomorrow see her detour, killing two birds with one stone.
The next day.
The swelling on Gu Xiyan's face has not been eliminated, she put on an old-fashioned and kitsch makeup, and deliberately changed into old-fashioned clothes.
Chunhua and Qiushi were very dissatisfied with Gu Xiyan's deliberate uglification of themselves, but in the end they couldn't hold back Gu Xiyan's persistence.
The birthday banquet has already begun, and Gu Xiyan plans to show her face and go back to Xiyuan to stay.
She could see a few girls from the Wanqinghou Mansion accompanying the old lady from a distance, it was very lively, and Liu Chaoyan was the only one.
Gu Xiyan didn't want to make fun of herself and spoil the atmosphere, so she let Chunhua and Qiushi do her own work, while she went to a place where there were few people.
Coincidentally, just as she walked to the flower hall, she saw a maid jumping into Zhou Xing's arms.
Zhou Xing saw a woman suddenly throwing herself into his arms, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. He pushed her away, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar girl turning around and about to leave.
He recognized at a glance that it was Gu Xiyan.
It has been half a month since he saw Gu Xiyan last time.
"Xiyan, come here!" Zhou Xingyang shouted.
Gu Xiyan didn't want to meet Zhou Xing face to face, she pretended not to hear, and walked forward quickly.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing caught up and barely blocked her way: "I called you, didn't you hear?"
She looked dumb, and bowed to Zhou Xing to say hello: "The daughter of the people respectfully invites Your Highness Jin An, and your Highness is blessed!"
