Chapter 233 Mu Jingxing Goes to Gu's House
"Master, isn't that Miss Du's bicycle frame?"
Mu Jingxing leaned over to take a look, frowning slightly. The scene remained as grand as ever.
It seems that the Marquis and his wife still dote on her.
"Pay attention to your wording. She is no longer the eldest daughter of the Du family. The eldest daughter of the Du family is Miss Song."
Xiao Fei: "I see. Could it be that she is going to meet Xiao Shizi privately?"
Mu Jingxing glared at him, "How can it be called a secret meeting when it's so open and aboveboard? Go, follow and see."
"OK."
"Come back!" Mu Chuqing stopped him, "You are not allowed to go."
"Master?"
"Brother." Mu Chuqing looked at Mu Jingxing and raised an eyebrow. "The engagement has already been given to Sister Yu. Why do you care whether Du Zhihuan goes to see her cousin? Her cousin is a sensible person. He can handle things between them. He will definitely live a happy life with Sister Yu. Don't worry about it, otherwise others will think you are not satisfied with this marriage."
Mu Jingxing pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Master, do you want to follow?"
"Need not!"
Xiao Fei stepped aside and gave a wink to the people below.
His eldest son must be dissatisfied with this marriage.
He has to keep a close eye on the prince.
Mu Chuqing picked up the teacup, stared at Mu Jingxing's cold face, and couldn't help sighing.
Alas, he has a stern face all day long. What a waste of this handsome face. "There's still time to hurry up. We need to get the engagement back and renegotiate. During this time, let Sister Yu fall in love with you. You don't have to worry about your cousin being fickle. Think about it carefully. When you've made up your mind, come to me and I'll give you some advice."
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have anyone I like."
"Tsk, you're just being stubborn. Sister Yu loves you. You marry Sister Yu, and your cousin marries Du Zhihuan. It's a wonderful thing for two couples to finally get married. Think about it carefully. I'm leaving now."
Yunyan stopped, suddenly turned around, looked around, and did not find anyone suspicious.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Taoyuan is a private garden modeled after a Jiangnan water village, built at great expense by the Gu family, the richest family in Beijing.
Du Zhihuan has a different experience every time she comes here.
Everywhere you look, you can see the unique architectural features of Jiangnan.
There are all kinds of precious green plants, and the ground is paved with agate stones brought from Southeast Asia, which is comparable to the royal gardens.
Now I know that being a century-old wealthy merchant is not just about being rich.
She suddenly understood that Prince Rong wanted Song Yu to be his daughter-in-law because he valued the Du family's military power.
Although Prince Rong's Mansion does not need marriage to consolidate its power, how could it not want the Du family's military power?
The emperor has few sons, so it is impossible for Prince Rong to covet that position.
"Hanhuan."
"Sister Yan."
Gu Jinyan gracefully walked out of the pavilion in a round-necked skirt with a yellow koji color and crimson leaves. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You've lost weight. I prepared your favorite snacks. You must eat more and make up for the weight you lost."
Du Zhihuan glanced at the food displayed in the pavilion, and the unhappiness that had lingered in her heart for many days instantly dissipated. "Thank you, Sister Yan. I knew you loved me the most. When did you come back?"
Gu Jinyan said: "I came back a month ago."
"Why didn't you send anyone to the Du Mansion to deliver the message?"
Gu Jinyan: "I had just recovered and wanted to rest for a few more days, but I didn't expect so many things to happen during this period."
"Sister Yan, do you know everything?"
"Mother didn't tell me, so I was kept in the dark. Even though you're not of the Marquis's bloodline, you were raised by the Marquis and his wife themselves. You're more like a biological daughter than a biological daughter. Even if your biological daughter returns, you can't return the engagement to Song Yu. You have a good relationship with my cousin, so how could he agree to a replacement? I don't care. I only recognize you as my cousin's wife. I won't recognize Song Yu as my cousin's wife."
Du Zhihuan was deeply moved by Gu Jinyan's defense of her. "This engagement was originally arranged for Song Yu by your great-aunt and my grandmother when they were young. It's only natural for Song Yu to take it back."
"What do you mean by 'as it should be'?" Gu Jinyan was a little excited. "You are also the daughter of the Du family. Besides, you and your cousin have almost completed the three letters and six engagements. You are just waiting to get married when you come of age. And you have already been listed in the royal family. Grandma knows everything. It's not your child who was secretly exchanged. Don't worry, when Grandma comes back, we will talk to her properly. She will definitely not have the heart to separate you two."
Du Zhihuan wasn't sure whether the two elders had that intention.
They have been traveling outside for many years, so they shouldn't have that idea, right?
If there is one, Prince Rong would have this idea, and his brother would definitely have it too.
She still has to consider the overall situation and not delay her brother's important matters.
"Sister Yan, after all, I am not of the Marquis's bloodline, so I am not worthy of Prince Xiao."
"What do you mean you're not worthy? You're a third-rank noblewoman, you passed the exam based on your own ability, and you're also the daughter of the Du family."
"Sister Yan, let's not talk about this for now. I came here to have a good chat with you. I don't want to talk about unhappy things. Tell me quickly, did you find the Divine Doctor Qin in Jiangnan?"
Gu Jinyan shook her head slightly. "We never found Divine Doctor Qin. He might have passed away long ago. I thought I was dead. When I opened my eyes again, I learned that a girl had saved me by using the abdominal seppuku technique that Divine Doctor Qin was so good at."
Du Zhihuan was horrified, "You...were you in extreme pain at that time?"
Gu Jinyan: "No, I fainted long before that. When I woke up, the female doctor was gone. I must find her and thank her in person."
"How do you find it? Did you see the face clearly?"
"It was already late that night. Ah Xuan said she couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing a veil. Today, Ah Xuan said he found clues about her younger brother, Xiao Nuo, and they should find her soon."
"If you find her, Sister Yan, please send someone to inform me. I would like to ask her to treat my grandmother."
Du Zhihuan felt that Song Yu could not completely eliminate the risk of her grandmother having a stroke, and this female doctor must have a way.
"Don't worry, I sent someone to tell you the first time. You are really filial. How can the old lady help her get the engagement back just because her granddaughter comes back?" Gu Jinyan couldn't help but feel sorry for Du Zhihuan.
"Sister Yan, Sister Yu has suffered a lot outside. It's only right that Grandma dotes on her. Let's not talk about her anymore. I want to go over there and feed the fish."
It was almost evening when Du Zhihuan left Taoyuan and returned to the Du Mansion.
"Sir." Xiao Fei entered the study. "People say Du Zhihuan went to Taoyuan today to meet the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
"The eldest daughter of the Gu family?" Mu Jingxing was surprised. "She's still alive. I remember Cheng Qian said she was seriously ill and incurable."
Xiao Fei said, "They must have gone south to find Divine Doctor Qin."
"What? He found Divine Doctor Qin?"
"It should be correct. Only Doctor Qin can save him."
Great, the little prince is saved.
"Prepare the car and go to Gu's house immediately!"
"Young Master." The Gu family's housekeeper hurried into Gu Jinxuan's study.
"What's all the fuss about?"
"Mu...Prince Mu is here. He is waiting in the guest room in the front yard. He said he has something to ask you."
Gu Jinxuan got up from the chair like a spring and went quickly to the bedroom.
He changed his clothes as quickly as possible and rushed to the front yard.
When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Xiao Fei standing at the door with his arms around his sword, with a stern face that said "keep away from strangers".
Gu Jinxuan secretly complained in his heart, it is true that like master, like servant.
Prince Mu’s sudden arrival must be bad news.
Gu Jinxuan straightened his appearance and walked in calmly, "Meetings, Prince Xiao."
"No thanks."
Gu Jinxuan raised his eyes and looked at the infuriating face in front of him, his eyebrows curved, "I wonder if the prince has something urgent to say that has brought him here at this hour?"
