Xiao Xilin had already reached the age of marriage and hadn't gotten married for a long time. Even though the Emperor had spoken, he could still choose among them.

However, looking at Marquis Suppression's Wife's anxious expression, the Emperor probably wanted to go back on his word if this dragged on any longer.

If such a talented person were to be chosen by a lady from an aristocratic family, it would be difficult to say.

Although the emperor doted on Lord Imperial Tutor, but no matter how much he liked him, he couldn't let Xiao Xilin do whatever he wanted.

The Imperial Tutor was already the head of the officials in the imperial court. He commanded the officials in charge of the entire Qing Kingdom and had control over many private matters between the officials of the imperial court.

If he were to be engaged to an aristocratic family, if the tutor was interested, then he wouldn't be able to sit so stably in his position as the emperor.

The Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen, so Ji Qingrou had set her sights on Xiao Xilin. Even Xiao Xilin had the intention to do so, and perhaps, the two of them wouldn't be able to get along.

She massaged her forehead again, thinking that Marquis Stability hadn't caused too much trouble in the past few years. Ji Qingrou was his granddaughter, and now that they were a generation apart, she had married into Gu's Mansion.

Hong Luan walked up to Ji Jiaqian beside her and patted her shoulder considerately.

Ji Jiaqian looked at the maidservant that Marquis's Wife liked the most, and asked in a low voice, "I'm afraid that Rou Er's heart is moved this time, but she's so headstrong and willful, I wonder if she'll suffer greatly after getting married."

It was her fault for pampering this girl so much, making Ji Qingrou so unruly.

Hong Luan smiled and said, "Miss is so beautiful and her personality is also genuine. She must be married off to a man. Why would she care about such a small matter?"

Ji Jiaqian couldn't help but smile when she heard this. "You're right. How could my daughter marry such a narrow-minded villain?"

With Xiao Xilin's broadmindedness and intelligence, if he had the intention, he would definitely be able to handle the matter well. He would not offend the emperor nor make things difficult for Ji Qingrou.

But the condition was that he really had the intention to marry Ji Qingrou.

Ji Jiaqian thought that maybe she could test Xiao Xilin when he came to visit.

Gu Yunxiao followed the two to the pavilion in the backyard and secretly yawned.

Ji Qingrou pouted angrily and said unhappily, "There was already a banquet at the pavilion last time, and picking this place again really doesn't have a shred of sincerity."

Gu Yunyan calmly said, "The Gu's Mansion is still small, but it can't compare to the Marquis Stability Manor. There are only one or two places that can host banquets and entertain guests. "It's not the pavilion. Little Sister Ji, do you want to pick a place to stay? Do we all live in the same courtyard?"

Hearing her faint ridicule, Ji Qingrou became even more unhappy. "What do you mean by this? Do I look like such a disorderly person?"

"I'm not sure about that. It's just that little sister Ji forgot. This is the Gu family's home, the place where I grew up. I know better than my sister what is in this house. " Gu Yunyan went straight to the point without any hesitation, "If Little Sister Ji doesn't like it, then don't stay in the Gu's Mansion. Since our family is so small, we really can't tolerate Little Sister, this great Buddha."

"You..." Ji Qingrou glared at Gu Yunyan. Was this person trying to throw her out so that he could monopolize Xiao Xilin?

She said that she wouldn't leave no matter what, but she couldn't win against Gu Yunyan. She turned to Gu Yunxiao and said, "Third Sister also didn't say anything. Don't tell me that she thinks everything Second Sister said is true?"

Gu Yunxiao was baffled. Why did the fire suddenly burn her body?

She immediately laughed: "It's normal for Little Sister Ji to be unfamiliar with Gu's Mansion since she just arrived. Lord Imperial Tutor also did not say when we will come over. We sisters will slowly discuss, just don't lose face for Gu's Mansion. "
