Marquis thought that this was probably what they meant by 'retribution'.

Two of his three sons hated him to the bone.

No matter how many difficulties he had to endure, it was a fact that Gu Qing had been abandoned. From his perspective, he had the right to hate his father.

"Gu Qing, I do not care what you have done over the years, or how much you hate this family, but for your mother's sake, do not go overboard. I will not force you if you do not want to live in Marquis Mansion, but since you have grown up, you must always be cautious of the consequences when doing things, and not be willful."

"Father only now remembered to educate me. Isn't it a bit late?" Gu Qing laid his hands on the side as he looked down at Marquis condescendingly. "I originally had some thoughts when I came back this time, but now that I found some interesting things in this house, I can see my mood. Maybe I would be happy and come back to stay that day.

Marquis's gaze tightened, "Gu Qing! "Don't be reckless. Your sister-in-law doesn't know anything. Stay away from her!"

Gu Qing laughed lightly, "Father, why are you still so naive? I can't even be sure myself, so stop thinking about it."

Gu Qing waved at the furious Marquis, "I'm leaving first. Oh, don't be delusional enough to ask me to stay in the same courtyard as you, I might be unable to resist strangling her to death."

Until the moment the study room door closed, Marquis still had not recovered from his shock. He remembered everything, but he actually remembered it all! He actually remembered what a baby did!

Gu Wan ran over to Xie Jingxi's place early the next morning, hugging him and whimpering like a child, "Sister-in-law, I must have been dreaming last night, right? How could I even have a younger brother, I don't have any impression of him, this is definitely a dream, no, I still have to go to the National Overseer today."

Xie Jingxi sighed, "You sure know how to call me sister-in-law this time."

I'm flustered, my sister-in-law is like a mother. Mother doesn't care about me, just tell me to hug you for a while." Gu Guan hummed like a kitten, "I don't want to stay home at all. Wearing women's clothes makes me feel so irritated. Wuu, I want to go to school …

Gu Wan could not help but feel awkward in her heart. Originally, she was the only girl in the house, the whole family was spoiling her and even Xie Jingxi had thought like this before, but now the Marquis couple's thoughts were very clear. Whatever kind of girl you want to learn from the Crown Prince, the elders of the family can agree. Whatever Gu Wan likes, the Marquis will let her be, and she will never mention the words that Gu Wan said when she was old enough to be. It's as if she wanted to pretend to be a man for her entire life, they will never say anything.

They had probably always had the thought that Gu Qing would be able to return one day, and coincidentally, Gu Wan had the intention of going to the Crown Prince's Palace to study, so they had naturally agreed. Now that Gu Qing had returned, he could officially become the Fourth Young Master of the Gu family, and Gu Wan could also return to his daughter's family.

Other than being a little unfair to Gu Wan, everything else was within reason.

Xie Jingxi could only console her, "Isn't this good enough? You can still pretend to be in the academy after your age has passed, you can't really want to become an official, right?" Xie Jingxi pointed in front of her, "If you continue to tie this up, it won't be long. Let's see what you will do in the future."

Gu Wan crawled up with both hands in front of her body as she looked at Xie Jingxi out of the corner of her eyes, "Hmph, not too long.

Xie Jingxi snorted, "I really don't care, aiya, what about General Sheng?"

"What does it have to do with him!? Why did you bring him up so well? Aiya, aiya, you're so annoying. I'm not going to care about you anymore! "

Gu Wan came in quickly but was interrupted by Xie Jingxi. She then ran out to play with Xie Bakuai out of shame and anger, who ran in, looking suspiciously at the figure of Gu Wan's back, "Miss, what happened to Third Miss? Why does it look like she got someone to cook it for her, it's so strange."

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, "Only you would find it weird, how old are you to not grow a few snacks, even Wan'er is embarrassed, why are you so heartless."

Ming Yu had offended someone, why did she have to be so careless? She spent her days in front of Xie Jingxi, but there was no man who hooked up with her.

Xie Jingxi thought, she still had to blame her, never mind, when she had the chance in the future, she would bring her out to meet other people.

"Miss, I heard that the young master has invited a lot of people to the Full Moon Feast. Why don't we go back and prepare some gifts?"

A few days ago, Chan Er had brought a new Young Master to Xie Cen. Although she might not like, but she would still have to attend the Xie Family Full Moon Feast, where the majority of the officials would be present in a few days. As a female Xie Family, Xie Jingxi could not be absent from it.

It's good to give my child a set of exquisite bracelet or something like that. Whatever else is given to him, just look better, you and Fang Dai can take care of all these. "

"Now that we know the young ladies and the young masters of the cousins, do you want to bring some gifts as well?"

Xie Jingxi's brows unconsciously furrowed, she did not say whether she should bring them or not, and only said another thing: "It's good to bring some to Brother Rong and the others."

Ming Yu understood in her heart, she did not know why his daughter did not like the Miss Biao of Xu Family, but had they met her before?

The two young masters, Xu Songyi and Xu Baichuan, were respectively the two sons of major wife's second branch. Because they were going to meet with Xie Jingyu in the next two years, they both came to the Xie Palace to take the examination. And the reason why Xu Jingshu had come was entirely because of the Xu Family and Lady Xu's intentions.

Relying on the support of his ancestor, Meng Yin, could be considered to have some face in his hometown, but to say that his future prospects couldn't be considered as well. This was because he hoped that the two of them would be able to gain some fame together, and for Xu Jingshu, marrying into the capital was the best choice, and relying on marriage and marriage was also considered to be a kind of path.

In the capital, there was the ready-made relative called Xie Family. Xie Jingyu was also the only heir, it would be good if they could get married, thus the master of the Xu Family wrote to the Lady Xu to share his thoughts, and sent Xu Jingshu to the capital together. In the past, when Xu Family Grand Elder was still in the capital, Lady Xu was not so confident in his family, but now that his family wasn't well, Lady Xu didn't even have any support in the manor. Furthermore, he had to help Xu Family from time to time, so his strength was truly insufficient.

If she could marry Xu Jingshu, she would be able to kiss and pull Xu Family, but in her previous life, Lady Xu had also done so. It was just that in her heart, Xie Jingxi had always opposed this marriage, and did not really like Xu Jingshu.

Right now, Xie Jingxi could not agree to it no matter what.

When she entered the Xie Clan, Xie Jingxi was intentionally waiting for Xie Jingyi outside the door. Seeing Xie Jingyi alight from the palanquin, Xie Jingxi was unavoidably shocked, and in these few months that she had not seen her, Big Sister Xie Family had lost weight and became extremely thin, to the point that she almost could not recognize her.

Xie Jingxi stepped forward to carry Niu Niu, and held onto Rong-ge with one hand. Xie Jingyi said with gratitude: "You actually have the heart to wait for me here, I really can't see the two of you alone."

"I just arrived too. I waited for a while when I saw elder sister's palanquin. Has elder sister been busy lately? She feels much skinnier now."

Xie Jingyi laughed bitterly, "Sigh, it's still like this. Your brother-in-law is not in the capital recently, so I'm the only one who is busy with my work. I am truly worried."

However, she was only in her twenties, and there were faint lines on her face. It could be seen that even her family was fine, and her children were all married and harmonious, so her life was not necessarily easy. A few days ago, Lu Bingsheng's two concubines had separated to add a child and a woman. The mother-in-law had coaxed them for the time being, but Xie Jingyi's days were not that easy.

Lu Bingsheng meant that they should be raised for Xie Jingyi, but with his son, the aunt tried everything she could to stop him. Actually, if she could choose, who would want to raise someone else's child, even if it wasn't due to effort? But since had no other choice, since Master had no other choice, so in the end, Xie Jingyi had no choice but to raise two more children. The four children being raised in front of him was not a simple task.

On the issue of supporting the Second Prince, Lu Kun had always been unwilling to express his opinion, and thus, his stance towards Xie Cen was a little out of hand. Although it had not reached the point where it could cause a ruckus on the surface, the faint attitude that the Lu Family had towards the Xie Family was very clear, and if it really reached the wrong level, it could be imagined what kind of situation Xie Jingyi would be in. In the past, Lady Xu did not have a good time with Xie Jingyi, so Xie Jingyi's situation at the Xie Family was not much better than Xie Jingxi's, and it might even be a little more awkward.

Xie Jingxi waited for sher because he was afraid that she would feel awkward. Knowing her intentions, he grew closer and closer to her.

Xie Jingxi nodded and then said, "You have a guess, my guess is that Mother intentionally promised her to Fourth Brother."

"I think so too, but it still depends on Jingyu's intentions. It is not something that can be forced."

Xie Jingyi looked at her meaningfully, as if she understood her meaning, and then laughed at herself, "You are really much better than me, there are some things that cannot be accepted."

The two sisters tacitly smiled at each other as they entered the inner courtyard of the Xie manor.
