However, if her own docile and intelligent third sister were to marry, it would be different. It was just that because of her status, Lady Xu was not easy to open her mouth to ask. After all, the third sister was just a proper daughter, and there was no reason for her to marry a concubine. Xie Jingyi originally wanted to come over to scout, but seeing Xie Jingxi's actions, Xie Jingyi knew that his mother's plan had failed. How could her second sister easily hold onto someone like that?

Your brother-in-law brought some small things from the northwest and sent your share over. I see that your room is quite lonely, so don't be embarrassed saying anything if you're short. Right now, you're the only one in front of your mother.

"When Second Miss got married, he already gave me some, I don't usually need them, and I have enough things in my house."

Xie Jingqi would never leave anything good for others. Most likely, because of her mother's persuasion, she had given her some things that she did not want. Xie Jingyi knew clearly in her heart that her third sister was a sensible person.

"Do you know anything about the Fang Clan?"

Xie Jingxi unconcernedly nodded her head, "The matter of marriage is not something that can be forced.

Xie Jingyi nodded his head, "You are a sensible child, but sometimes you have to fight for a marriage."

The matter of the Fang family was only mentioned a bit by the big sister Xie Family, but it was rather unpleasant to hear it from the other side of the family.

During the Gu Clan Gemini's Full Moon Banquet, the Fourth Miss of the Second House mocked Xie Jingxi, "How could a family like the Fang Clan like you, who has never seen the world, think of such a thing? Even if you marry her, you wouldn't lose face, you can just find an Elementary Scholar."

Fourth Miss's eldest sister-in-law, Madam Xing, quickly pulled her sister-in-law back. "Third Miss is feeling very sad right now. Why do you have to bring this up?"

Xie Jingxi sneered in her heart, the second house of the Gu family was still not up for the show, and had already determined that she would lose the Fang family's marriage, and that she would cry to death. Furthermore, she had messed up the Second Young Madam's mother's family in front of the major wife, she had never seen someone with such a huge face.

Xie Jingxi would never argue with people that were not important to her, but Gu Wan was different. She had long since disliked the Second House and wanted to take the chance to kill them.

"Where did sister-in-law Xing come from? When did you see the Fang family and Xie Family betrothal gift? Or did you invite the matchmaker over here? If there's nothing out of the ordinary, then you can say it clearly. If you hurry over, then you can also make up some good scenes to sing to our family's troupe."

Gu Wan was mocking the Second Branch and its entire family for causing trouble, but the Second Branch and its household had long since lost their dignity. Ordinary words could not easily poke a hole through their thick skin, but the Xing Family looked wronged upon hearing Gu Wan's words, saying that they had treated her with kindness as a mule, and had actually started to wipe their tears with a handkerchief.

"Sister-in-law, you saw it. Your kind-hearted friend has been left trampling on the ground," she said. "With such an uncultured person, what's there to be worried about? There's also Sister Guan, you can have some snacks. If you're with someone like that, you'll learn nothing at all."

Gu Wan was so angry that she was about to hit her, when she suddenly heard a laugh from Xie Jingxi, "Wan'er, you should stop playing with me, I don't even have the heart to fly on a branch, what if I delay you a little?"

Gu Wan was also happy when she heard it, but the Second House of the Gu Family, who had always been a generous person, continued to try and send the Fourth Miss into the palace while rubbing his head against the Marquis Anfeng. However, the Fourth Miss's character was average, and many of the methods used by the Second House were all suppressed by the Palace, all because of the fact that the Fourth Miss was not very good.

Because of this matter, the Gu family lost face at the His Majesty, but the second house thought it was because the Marquis Anfeng couldn't see them properly, so they kept pressing down on them. The Fourth Miss was incredibly high and mighty, and had even thought of entering the palace to become a imperial consort all day long. However, the entire capital was looking on at the joke of their family, with no one even knocking on their door to propose marriage.

If Fourth Miss had failed to enter the palace, and had also liked the Fang family's Second Master, it was a pity that he had not responded, and instead wholeheartedly wanted to marry Xie Jingxi. This was why when Fourth Miss saw Xie Jingxi, he could not think of a good word to say.

Xie Jingxi never once looked at Fourth Miss. When she was joking around and left, Fourth Miss still hadn't come back to her senses. Everyone was fine, why were they laughing?

There were many wives present today at the Full Moon Feast of the Marquis Anfeng. Looking at the two beautiful sisters, Gu Shenwei was straightforward and sincere, thanking the Third Sister for his gentle and warm understanding of the situation, especially the Third Miss, who said that he had never raised her since he was young, and that she was a bit stingy. However, looking at her behavior and attitude, she was not any worse than any of the girls in the capital.

The wives were all wondering if they could find a suitable brother for themselves, and there were also a few coldly gazing at the area where the chamber lord was standing. King Jin Xiao Yu prodded Gu Yun who was standing at the side, and said in shock: "You also have your eyes on someone, do you want to ask your Royal Concubine to negotiate on your behalf?"

Gu Yun clenched his fists and coughed lightly, swallowing back the word that was about to come out of his mouth, "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness."

Xie Jingxi and Gu Wan went to see Second Young Madam Xie Jingqi. Lady Xu and Xie Jingyi had already talked to her for a long time, and when the wet nurse carried the two children out, Lady Zeng accompanied her to tease them as well.

"My dear wife, you see, this brother is very much like his father when he was young."

also looked at it for a bit, but really couldn't see how this crumpled lump looked like Gu Heng's at all. His brother's Innate body was weak, and I heard that he had been relying on medicine to nurture it. The Eldest Miss did have some traces of her father, but from the looks of it, the Ceng Family only viewed her as an important brother.

Xie Jingxi immediately saw Gu Heng, she felt that as long as she was in this house, his gaze would be everywhere, and even an accident would be able to match up with him, causing Xie Jingxi to feel uncomfortable, but luckily Gu Wan knew that she was not comfortable, and sat there for a while before pulling her away, causing Xie Jingxi to heave a sigh of relief.

"If only it was you who married me." Not knowing whether Gu Wan was joking or had seen through something, Xie Jingxi's heart froze.

"Why didn't you come to the capital a few years earlier? You're still a sister who married Xie Family, so I would rather marry you. It's a pity that by the time you came, the Second Brother had already made a promise with your Second Miss."

She had also thought that if she had known Gu Heng for a few years, perhaps things would have been different. But unfortunately, she also had the same fate, and what she couldn't say in this world was "if".

"How about you marry my big brother? He's still missing a wife. Look at him, he really loves people the most. He treats me so well."

Xie Jingxi thought about those unfathomable eyes, and her heart quivered. That man looked extremely strange, so she might as well forget about it.

Gu Wan went ahead to greet the wives and grandmothers. Xie Jingxi then went to the quiet place alone, and when she arrived at a fake mountain, she heard a faint noise coming from inside. Xie Jingxi's heart moved, and immediately stopped moving and hid behind the flowers.

There seemed to be a man and a woman inside the fake mountain, but the man could not tell, that the woman's voice sounded like Fourth Miss. Xie Jingxi immediately felt a little awkward. She knew about the Fourth Miss's disorderly behavior, but because he did not care about it in her previous life, she did not care about it, and never expected to meet her here.

Just as Xie Jingxi wanted to take this opportunity to leave, the man inside suddenly spoke out: "Why, I am not stronger than that old thing who has half a foot in the coffin, and that weakling from the Fang Family, I do not even know if I can lift my hand or not, how can I satisfy you little slut."

The voice from inside was a little unbearable, it carried along with it the delicate breathing of the Fourth Miss, "Isn't it my father yet, he's pointing at me marrying into the palace and raising his eyebrows and feeling proud. I know that my lord loves me, and I am already my man, so I will definitely follow you in the future."

Xie Jingxi suddenly covered his mouth, it was actually the crown prince! If the Second Branch had colluded with the crown prince, would major wife be kept in the dark, or would she pretend not to know? A few things from her previous life suddenly popped up in her mind, but before she could understand it, the manmade mountain seemed to be preparing to come out. Xie Jingxi panicked and didn't know if she should dodge or run, the place she was hiding, she could easily find it if she looked at it carefully, but if she ran now, she might be able to expose it faster.

Just as Xie Jingxi was in a state of panic, an irresistible force suddenly came from her waist, Xie Jingxi did not dare struggle, she could only allow himself to be dragged away, but in the next moment, the crown prince and Fourth Miss came out of the fake mountain one after the other, while Xie Jingxi was being held tightly in her arms, the tip of her nose was filled with the cool smell of medicine.

Xie Jingxi was a little confused, because she could clearly see her face, but she still found it hard to believe, it was actually the sickly Chi Gu Yun. Didn't they say that he was only able to live through her illness? How could he have such strength when he grabbed her hand?

After the Crown Prince and the others left, Gu Yun released his hand and immediately coughed lightly as he clenched his fists at the side, "Miss Gu seems to be very familiar with the Gu family's backyard, but I advise you not to wander around."

Xie Jingxi blushed. While blaming him for his unkind tone, she also felt that it was indeed inappropriate for him to be caught walking around randomly in someone else's house. She could only lower her head and agree.

Gu Yun stared at her hair bun, he almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face, thinking that this girl was really good at pretending, with this kind of obedient look, he had lied to countless people, and looked very soft and weak, but he wasn't sloppy when it came to handling Zhang Family, he had already seen that before.

"Gu Wan was looking for you just now, you should return."

Xie Jingxi took the stairs and walked away as if a heavy burden had been lifted. As she walked along the road, she could not help but wonder if this person was really sick or not, and was not faking the smell of medicine on her body, but if this person was weak, it would not seem like it. In short, Xie Jingxi felt that even though her father was standing in front of her, she was not afraid. After all, he was someone who had lived for two lifetimes, how could she not understand him?
