Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan's figure in fluttering clothes, and her heart moved, her thin lips lightly raised: "In the future, if the King of Qin makes things difficult for the girl, and the girl can't compete with him, you can ask for help next door to the Marquis Wanqing's mansion. I sometimes live next door House. Even if I'm not here, there will be someone to receive the girl."

This Miss Gu has the same strange fragrance as him, and she almost lost her reputation today to help him avoid Zhou Xing.

This may be the good relationship between him and Miss Gu.

Gu Xiyan looked back and smiled, with a warm heart: "Xiyan, thank you for your kindness!"

She has been a human being in two lifetimes, and she has received too little kindness, so it is very precious.

Zhou Mu nodded slightly, watching Gu Xiyan's graceful back disappear at the end of the flower path.

After Gu Xiyan left the back garden, she thought to herself that she was dismissed by Zhou Xing, and she had nothing to rely on in the Hou Mansion, so it was very difficult to marry a good family.

If it is said that she did not have any specific plans before today, but after meeting Zhou Mu, she suddenly had an idea.

She wants to make herself stronger, even though Zhou Xing is the prince, if she has enough money, she can even hit a stone with a pebble.

Zhou Mu only saw her once, and was willing to help her deal with Zhou Xing, how could she be weaker?

She also hopes to have the opportunity to help Zhou Mu Yi Er in the future, even if people like Zhou Mu may not need her.

The top priority is that she has to get back the dowry her mother left her, so that she can manage things with money and silver, but her dowry is in Li's hands.

When she was thinking about how to get back her dowry, Chunhua suddenly ran over with red eyes: "Girl..."

"Why are you crying?" Seeing that Chunhua was about to cry, Gu Xiyan knew something was going on.

"The servant girl just overheard the discussion between the eldest lady and Yi's mother. They planned to give all the girl's dowry to the second girl. They also said that the girl would not get married anyway, and the dowry would be moldy and rotten. It's really deceiving!" Speaking of the key point , Chunhua was so angry that his face turned blue.

Gu Xiyan wiped away Chunhua's tears, and comforted her softly: "Silly girl, crying won't solve the problem."

Since it was her dowry, even if it was robbed, it had to be taken back.

"Slaves are just uncomfortable, they are too shameless." Chunhua was so angry that tears kept falling.

Gu Xiyan waited for her to calm down before saying: "It should be mine, and no one else can take it away. Taking advantage of the excitement in the house today, let's return all the dowry."

"Yes, can I?"

"Estimate and try."

Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Xiyan returned to Xiyuan and got the dowry list left by her mother.

Except for some small items, the valuable things are nothing more than some gold and silver jewelry, a few sets of worthless hairdresses, another box of silk and satin, and a few valuable shops, as well as a manor and a bank.

There are detailed records on the list. The paper of this list has been yellowed for many years. The list cannot be faked.

She originally didn't want to make too much publicity on such a day, but if Li Shi insisted on making trouble today, don't blame her for making things big.

She changed into a set of festive clothes, put on light makeup again, went to Fenghe Hall first, and finally went to the birthday banquet.

The timing of her arrival will be good, just in time for the birthday ceremony.

She came late, but it was also a coincidence.

Gu Xiyan's sudden appearance made Li sneer. She said bitterly: "Isn't this a big girl? Today is the ancestor's birthday, and the big girl has the nerve to come here empty-handed?"

It's very good, dozing off and giving me a pillow is just in line with Gu Xiyan's wishes.

Gu Xiyan was ridiculed by Mrs. Li, and her eyes turned red immediately: "Grandma's birthday is today, Xiyan shouldn't have come empty-handed. It's just that when Xiyan went to Fenghe Hall to get the jade screen with both fortune and fortune, she wanted to celebrate her birthday. However, the mother-in-law did not let Xiyan enter, saying, saying that Yupingfeng belongs to Fenghetang."

Speaking of this, Gu Xiyan forcibly forced back tears, and when facing the old lady, forced a smile: "It is Xiyan who is not filial, so I can only present the Buddhist scriptures copied by myself at this moment, and I will present the jade screen later." Send it to Zaohui Hall to congratulate grandma on her birthday. Xiyan congratulates grandma on the evergreen pine and crane, and never grows old."

As soon as she said this, Li Shi's expression became extremely ugly. She did not expect that General Gu Xiyan would stab the matter of her taking Gu Xiyan's dowry in front of the old lady in public.

How could the old lady not know the origin of the jade screen with blessings and blessings? It was one of the dowry left by the Da Gu family to Sister Xi, and it was priceless. Sister Xi honored her with a jade screen to show her loyalty to her.

What made her gratified was that although Sister Xi had been greatly wronged, she still remembered to protect the face of Marquis Wanqing's mansion. The government will become the laughing stock of the whole city because of Li.

"Good boy, you have a heart, come and sit next to grandma." The old lady held Gu Xiyan's hand, unable to hide her love for Gu Xiyan.

Seeing the gesture of the old lady, Gu Xiyan made up her mind.

Liu Chaoyan turned her head to see this scene, the handkerchief she was holding was almost torn apart by her.

There are many Madams who came to attend the old lady's birthday banquet today, and it is strange to see this scene from a distance.

Originally, the news of Gu Xiyan's resignation was widely circulated, and everyone thought that Gu Xiyan was a worthless person, but seeing that her behavior was generous and decent today, it was not as unbearable as in the legend. Eye.

It wasn't until the banquet was about to start that Gu Xiyan found an excuse to walk away.

Chunhua glanced at it for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Why is the girl willing to give such an expensive birthday gift?"

Yupingfeng is the most valuable in the list, the old lady treats the girl badly, why is the girl willing to give it away?

"Isn't it a good time to give the jade screen to grandma's birthday banquet? From now on, when grandma sees the jade screen, she will see things and think about people. Remember that there is still a little man like me in the Hou Mansion." Gu Xiyan glanced at Chunhua.

This is all second.

For a madam like the old lady, what kind of good things have you never seen? Naturally, gift giving should be the best.

Her ultimate goal is to get back the dowry, how can there be any gain in reluctance?

Chunhua was speechless secretly, feeling that the girl's vision was not comparable to that of her maidservant.

Gu Xiyan stared straight at the two people who were talking in front of her. These two people were Liu Chaoyan and Miss Su Su He.

Speaking of it, Su He and Liu Chaoyan are like-minded, their biological mothers are both high-ranking aunts, no wonder they can become best friends in the boudoir.

After Liu Chaoyan walked away, Gu Xiyan hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Su Ho's table.

She asked the Second Miss Su Mei generously, "Second Miss Su, can I sit here?"

Su Mei didn't expect Gu Xiyan to talk to her, so she hurriedly stood up and replied, "Of course."

Gu Xiyan took the seat on Su Mei's right hand.

Seeing this scene, Su Ho's eyes flickered slightly. She originally wanted to sit next to Su Mei so that it would be convenient for her to do things later.

Gu Xiyan suddenly took the seat she wanted, but in desperation, she had to sit on Gu Xiyan's right side, so that she could play by ear later.

Out of the corner of Gu Xiyan's eyes, she saw Su Ho taking her seat, so she knew that Su Ho still wanted to frame Su Mei like in her previous life, and wanted to ruin Su Mei's reputation.

She remembered an incident that happened at the old lady's birthday banquet in her previous life. Su Mei was drugged and then raped in bed.

The son who was with Su Mei was Xu Yongqian, the eldest son of Qi Anbo.

Xu Yongqian had no choice but to marry Su Mei because he was caught raped in public, and he treated Su Mei lukewarm after marriage.

But Su Mei fell in love with Xu Yongqian at first sight, and after marriage she gave up on Xu Yongqian, but Su Mei didn't know that Xu Yongqian had already secretly agreed with Su Ho about the song.

Later, Su Mei's child was killed by Su Ho, and died of depression a few years later.

Su He was just the opposite. After Su Mei's death, he hooked up with Zhou Xing again, and later became Zhou Xing's side concubine and Zhou Xing's right-hand man.

The Su family is a businessman. At present, the Su family is not particularly outstanding among the business houses in Kyoto. However, later on, Su Ho became the richest man in the capital with his excellent business skills.

Coupled with Zhou Xing's help, Su He became even more successful in the circle of noble women in the capital.

It was also Su Ho who later added a lot of resistance to Zhou Mu.
