Hearing that another matchmaker had come to visit this morning, Gu Yunxiao looked at the sky and purposely postponed her visit for less than an hour before bringing Liu Xu to the parlour.

Unfortunately, she still went too early.

She could hear the ruckus in the parlour from a distance, and could not help but have a headache.

As expected, as soon as Gu Yunxiao stepped in, she heard her sister-in-law Yan Zixin say sarcastically, "Senior Sister-in-law is like a mother. This Magistrate of The Supreme Court has invited the official media to come to the mansion. Are you not satisfied? The only son of a third rank official, you still don't want to marry? You are not young at all. Don't think that your looks are good. "Today, I will say that even if you don't want to marry, you still have to!"

With her back facing Gu Yunxiao, Gu Yunyan disdainfully said, "Since Magistrate of The Supreme Court is so nice, it would be better for me to marry myself."

"What are you saying? Isn't my heart broken for you?" Yan Zixin clutched at her chest, looking like she was about to fall off the cliff with the support of the big maidservant and the purple bamboo.

Gu Yunyan did not think so. She came here every once in a while and was fed up with it. "There will be more matchmakers coming for us in the future. Sister-in-law will just drive them away."

"If you don't marry, what's the point in delaying my sister? "Xiao is already one year old. She should have started to pick a husband. If you don't marry, she won't be able to marry anymore. Don't you feel guilty as a sister?" Yan Zixin saw Gu Yunxiao standing at the door, and without a word, she kicked the ball at her.

Gu Yunyan turned her head. Gu Yunxiao, who had an extremely beautiful face, looked at it every day. For a moment, she felt a little dizzy.

She could understand why Gu Yunyan was known as the number one beauty in Qing Kingdom. Just her face alone was astonishing beyond belief. If it wasn't for the fact that the old emperor had a deep relationship with the empress, that he hadn't planned on filling the harem in the past five years since the empress passed away, and that the prince was still young and was only ten years old, Gu Yunyan would have long been robbed to the palace as a concubine.

They were all born of the same father and mother. Gu Yunyan's face was as handsome as Master Gu's, but she could only pick up a few corners. Although her looks weren't bad, she could only barely be considered a pretty girl standing next to Gu Yunyan.

Yan Zixin's words were absolutely correct. If Gu Yunyan didn't marry, then she wouldn't be able to.

Who let Gu Yunyan's face be so unforgettable? Countless people in the capital, including those from influential families and officials, could only hope to marry her. As for Gu Yunxiao, who had an ordinary appearance, she had fallen into a situation where no one was interested in her.

Gu Yunxiao had always lived under the shadow of her elder sister and had long since gotten used to it. Yan Zixin pointed it out and said with a smile, "Sis, it's getting late. Can we have dinner now?"

The Gu family's rule was to eat together with the family. Master Gu immediately hid in the study room, knowing that the matchmaker would come to visit and argue with his eldest daughter and daughter-in-law.

As for Gu Xuanyi, the elder brother who returned home at the same time followed his wife and was in an even more awkward position. After all, one was his own little sister, while the other was his wife who shared a bed. It wasn't good to be biased towards anyone, so he just left it at that.

Because Gu Yunxiao's stomach was growling in hunger, she had no choice but to brace herself and step forward to interrupt the argument.

Yan Zixin glared at her in disappointment and said unhappily, "I only know how to eat." Look at your sister, if this dragged on, you would be forcefully dragged into an old lady. Your sister isn't worried. Can't you have more snacks? Don't be left with no choice when the time comes. You can only casually marry someone from a poor family, but you will end up crying. "
