"My mother doesn't know anything, and her daughter-in-law has sent someone to tie her up. The maid next to Xi'er is good at martial arts, and the guards can't take her away."

Mrs. Hou slowly defended herself.

Gu Xi is not that easy to grasp.

"Bad!" The old lady glared at her daughter-in-law dissatisfiedly, then looked at Zhongyihou, "Don't care?"

"Mom, don't worry, I have a constitution for that rebellious girl, so let her be rampant for a while." Zhongyihou smiled and comforted his mother.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and talked about the marriage of her granddaughters at home.

"Rong'er is not young anymore, and the Lu family must finalize it as soon as possible." The old lady said, "I heard that Rong'er is very popular with Mrs. Lu. While walking around more, don't forget to hint."

"What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law can't help it." Mrs. Hou took over and said,

"In the past few days, my daughter-in-law asked Rong'er to make some pastries for Mrs. Lu every day, and attached the poems made by Rong'er. Mrs. Lu liked it very much."

When the old lady heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and praised,

"Rong'er grew up in the countryside and still has such talent in poetry. She is worthy of being the blood of my marquis' mansion. She is talented and extremely intelligent."

Zhongyi Hou also smiled and nodded, praising Gu Rong a few words.

Just Madam Hou's eyes flashed, and she had many doubts about Rong'er's experience with her adoptive parents.

The old lady was not very clear about these things, but Zhongyi Hou knew not to care about them. She was sure that the other party was an ordinary countryman, all thanks to Gu Rong's amazing talent.

"By the way, the two concubines in the family are at the age of being a kiss. You should take them out for a visit on weekdays.

The two concubines are not bad, and they can teach them. If they dress up well, they may be attracted by some wife and give them to the concubines in the family. If there is a suitable one, they will settle down."

The old lady spoke to Mrs. Hou again.

"Mother, I will be concerned about this." Mrs. Hou responded.

"And it's Gu Xi's marriage. Her situation is destined to be neither high nor low. It's better to take advantage of her reputation now and choose a family for her to marry."

The old lady frowned, thought about the nobles in the capital, and spoke,

"With Gu Xi's appearance, talent and mental means, I believe that with a noble concubine, I can also gain the favor of the only one.

Therefore, instead of choosing a family with an average family as a wife for her, it is better to be a noble concubine in a high-ranking family."

"Mother and son thought of going together. My son didn't tell you before. The Fourth Prince may intend to take the rebellious girl as a concubine." Zhongyihou stroked his beard and said with a smile.

He was very proud of this matter.

He also believed that with Gu Xi's talent and beauty, as long as he could be with the Fourth Prince, he would definitely be favored.

As long as she can help the fourth prince successfully fight for the throne, she can be named the Imperial Concubine, and his status will also rise!

"Since this?" The old lady's eyes lit up, and she smiled when she remembered something.

"No wonder the Fourth Prince's concubine posted a post to the mansion a few days ago and asked Gu Xi to participate. This must be what the Fourth Prince asked."

"The daughter-in-law thinks so too." Mrs. Hou nodded with a smile, and then told the old lady in detail about the banquet and the care of the Fourth Prince's concubine.

After hearing this, the old lady became more and more convinced. When she mentioned Gu Xi again, the dissatisfaction in her words eased a lot.

"The fourth prince was raised by the queen and won the title of legitimate son. He also had a good reputation in the court. It was Xi'er's fortune that he could like Xi'er."

"What I said is, if this rebellious girl had not been raised in the Marquis' Mansion since she was a child, how could she have such blessings!" said Zhongyi,

"This woman who is ignorant of her blessings is not aware of her blessings. She has started to act in trouble since she knows her life experience."

"Hmph, when she comes back tomorrow, lock her up and learn the rules again." The old lady was angry again and said.

Zhongyi Hou nodded and agreed.

"Mother, master, Xi'er is a soft-hearted person who is not hard-working. We should discuss everything with her..." Mrs. Hou thought for a while and persuaded her.

"No need to ask her for advice. The Marquis's mansion raised her for fifteen years and asked her to do anything, which she should repay."

The old lady said toughly and naturally.

"..." Mrs. Hou.

Now that she heard the word "repayment", she remembered Gu Xi's remarks on what she had done in repaying the Hou's Mansion over the years. A faint sense of shame slowly surged into her heart.

She looked up and glanced at the decorations in her mother's room. The things here have been changed over the past few years, and they have become noble and stylish.

And these were all bought by Gu Xi’s money.

My mother probably forgot this, just like her before, but enjoyed it with peace of mind.

However, even if she said this, she would not think that this was Gu Xi's reward with her mother's selfish and arrogant personality.

Therefore, Mrs. Hou didn't want to argue about Gu Xi and her mother-in-law, and said,

"It's better to discuss things with Xi'er in advance."

"Then tell her, let her stay in the mansion honestly and stop running around to the village, making it as if our Marquis' Mansion really wants to abandon her."

The old lady said with grace.

"…Hmm." Mrs. Hou.

It was clearly Gu Xi who wanted to abandon the Marquis' Mansion, but she rushed to keep the person temporarily.

Is my mother-in-law not clear about her mind or is she unwilling to believe it?

Mrs. Hou is tired.

-

General Xie’s Mansion.

Mrs. Xie has been feeling distressed for her grandson these days, and after knowing that he would not lift her up, she was even more worried.

When I heard that my grandson was interested in Gu Xi, it was very likely that he could go to Gu Xi and stay in the room, I suddenly felt energetic.

What are you waiting for? It’s just taking it as a concubine. Tomorrow, I will carry out a sedan chair from the mansion, carry the person back, and send it to my grandson’s bed.

"Mom, although Gu Xi is not from a good background, she was raised by the Marquis of Zhongyi. She has different relationships. Moreover, she is famous and has some people behind her. She has quite a way of doing things. Even if she takes such a woman as a concubine, she cannot be given up at will."

Mrs. Xie is a sensible person and doesn't look down on Gu Xi so much.

"Hmph, what's the name? Nothing is nothing without a birth! I heard that she looks like a vixen. Even if she is the daughter of the Marquis's family, I wouldn't be happy to ask her to marry my grandson.

It’s just that she still has some help, so she barely carried her into our door as a concubine. I’m going to give her a thumbs up!”

Mrs. Xie said with great disdain, humiliating Gu Xi like a brothel woman.

Mrs. Xie knew that her mother-in-law was too arrogant and did not argue with her. She just said,

"If you don't say anything else, just for the sake of Prince An, Princess and others, we will take her as a concubine and also give her some noodles so that Prince An and others will not find any fault.

In this way, tomorrow I will take the betrothal gift to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and quickly set a date without any banquets for guests. However, I will carry her into the door with a wedding ceremony and give her a full face."
