On the day the scumbag got married, I lay flat and became his sister-in-law

Chapter 120 Sandwich Biscuits: Both Men Are Here
"Miss Gu and I are...friends."

Zhou Mu added in her heart that they might become husband and wife in the future.

Gu Xiyan was the first woman he fell in love with, and she would also be the last, he was extremely certain.

"Miss Gu and I are also friends. How about that, I will go to Wanqinghou's mansion together with Brother Zhou to visit later, and see Miss Gu as a friend by the way, what does Brother Zhou think?" Xu Yanqing suggested.

If it was just his guess before, he could see clearly just now that Zhou Mu is his rival in love.

No wonder he didn't like this person when he first met Zhou Mu, it turned out to be for this reason.

"It's not appropriate to go there rashly. Don't let Master Xu come to my residence later." Zhou Mu immediately became vigilant when he heard that Xu Yanqing was going to Wanqinghou's residence.

What Xu Yanqing was thinking was clearly revealed.

"It wouldn't be considered impolite to ask Zhiyuan to go to the Hou's mansion to inform later. If Brother Zhou doesn't go, then I will visit Lord Hou by myself and meet Miss Gu by myself." Xu Yanqing continued to probe.

Zhou Mu's eyes were heavy, his body had a gloom that was completely opposite to his exile-like demeanor, and it seemed that even the air had cooled down.

Seeing Zhou Mu's emotional changes, Xu Yanqing was even more certain of her guess that this was his number one rival in love.

As for Dong Yong, he was far less threatening than Zhou Mu.

With such a strong rival in love, Xu Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

No matter which noble son in the capital, he is confident of winning, but Zhou Mu...

His eyes fell on Zhou Mu's picturesque eyebrows.With this appearance and such a noble demeanor, he is no match for Zhou Mu anywhere.

How frustrating!

The two stopped talking along the way, Xu Yanqing had something on his mind, and Zhou Mu was also thinking about whether to stop Xu Yanqing from going to Wanqinghou Mansion.

It was not sure that Xu Yanqing was planning on Gu Xiyan before, he didn't feel a threat yet.

Xu Yanqing no longer concealed his intentions towards Gu Xiyan today, how could he tolerate Xu Yanqing getting closer to Gu Xiyan?
After all, Xu Yanqing's appearance, character and family background are all good, but this person is a rival in love he recruited himself, thinking about it, he feels that he was dull before.

Soon the carriage arrived in front of the Zhou Mansion, Xu Yanqing got out of the carriage first, and said to Zhou Mu: "Thank you brother Zhou for taking me for a ride, I'm going to the Hou Mansion..."

"Wait, I'll go with you to see Lord Hou." Zhou Mu was worried and interrupted Xu Yanqing.

Qi Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he looked at his young master in disbelief: "Young master, we didn't say hello to Lord Hou in advance, so it's not appropriate to go there rashly."

Young master, is this no longer avoiding anyone?
"It's okay, just let someone pass it on." Zhou Mu knew Qi Zhiyuan's concerns.

He is now on duty in the household department, and it is not uncommon for him to go in and out of Wanqinghou's mansion.

In the past he was avoiding the world, but now he is entering the world.

Qi Zhiyuan heard what Zhou Mu meant, and went to the Hou Mansion first to inform.

The concierge first heard Mr. Zhou, the right servant of the household department, and Mr. Xu, the head of Jingji of the household department, were visiting, so he did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported the matter to Wan Qinghou.

Marquis Wan Qing had only returned to his residence not long ago, when he heard Zhou Mu coming, his brows jumped slightly.

In the past, when Zhou Mu came to the Hou's mansion, he used a secret way to enter, but this was the first time he came in openly, and Xu Yanqing was also with him, which made him feel unbelievable.

He hurried out to greet him, Xu Yanqing was a little surprised to see Wan Qinghou coming out in person.

It wasn't until Wan Qinghou bowed his hands to Zhou Mu and saluted for the first time that he felt something was wrong.

As Marquis Wan Qing, even if Master Mai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came to visit in person, he didn't need to be so solemn, but Marquis Wan Qing was so respectful to Zhou Mu, such a reaction inevitably made people think deeply.

Zhou Mu naturally also knew that there was something wrong with Wan Qinghou's reaction, but he couldn't remind him, so he could only say cryptically, "Your Majesty and Mr. Xu took the liberty to visit. I wonder if they disturbed the Marquis."

At this moment, Wan Qinghou remembered that Xu San was still there. He remembered the scene of saluting to Zhou Mu just now, and secretly thought something was wrong.

At this point, he just smiled and said, "Both of you are young talents of our great Jin Dynasty. They make Pengpi shine. Please come in!"

When Xu Yanqing saw Wan Qinghou with an exaggerated smile, he secretly thought that the last time he saw this Marquis, he had never seen him so unsteady.

Thinking about the scene where Zhou Mu and Wan Qinghou met face to face, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time?

He was not mistaken just now, Wan Qing Hou, a dignified Marquis, who is also a favorite of His Majesty, actually saluted Zhou Mu, a third-rank official, first, this scene was so weird.

Does Zhou Mu have another special identity?
This thought flashed in Xu Yanqing's mind.

Afterwards, he silently followed behind Wan Qinghou and Zhou Mu, seeing the way the two talked, it was obvious that they were old acquaintances.And it's not that he is overhearted, Wan Qinghou respects Zhou Mu very much in his speech and demeanor.

Now he became more and more certain of his conjecture.There must be something wrong with Zhou Mu's origin, otherwise Wan Qinghou wouldn't have reacted like this.

After going to the Kuanhe Hall, the three sat down one by one, Wan Qinghou was still chatting with Zhou Mu.

Xu Yanqing didn't feel that Wan Qinghou had left him out in the cold, he was just a little anxious.

"Master Hou, I have something to ask you." Xu Yanqing interrupted at the right time.

"Master Xu, please tell me." Only then did Wan Qinghou remember that Xu Yanqing was also there.

"I haven't seen Ms. Gu for some days, and I want to see her today, and I want to say something to her, can I ask Ms. Gu to come out and meet?" Xu Yanqing asked respectfully.

Wan Qinghou looked at Zhou Mu subconsciously, Zhou Mu glanced at him, then wandered around with the teacup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Wan Qinghou and Zhou Mu flirting with each other, Xu Yanqing suddenly became ill.

Could it be that he wants to see Gu Xiyan, but also ask Zhou Mu's permission?
Who is Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan?

"Master Hou, please do me a favor." Seeing that Marquis Wan Qing didn't answer, Xu Yanqing was a little anxious.

Wan Qinghou was also very embarrassed.

After all, His Majesty has taken a fancy to Sister Xi, and Xu Yanqing, who has no eyesight, is here to interfere again. Doesn't this make him difficult to be a man?
"This..." Wan Qinghou subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu again, hoping that Zhou Mu would give him some hints.

Pian Zhou Mu focused on drinking tea, as if he didn't see his eyes asking for help.

In desperation, he had no choice but to respond: "Master Xu, wait a moment, I'll ask Sister Xi to come over."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Mu, wondering what Zhou Mu's reaction would be.

With just one glance, I really can't tell if Zhou Mu is unhappy.

In fact, Zhou Mu's heart is very contradictory.

On the one hand, he didn't want Gu Xiyan and Xu Yanqing to meet face to face, on the other hand, he himself wanted to see Gu Xiyan very much.

It was during this moment of hesitation that Marquis Wan Qing asked Gu Xiyan to come over.

When Gu Xiyan came to Kuanhe Hall, she saw Zhou Mu from a distance. She was about to step forward when she found Xu Yanqing was there.

Xu Yanqing quickly came to Gu Xiyan: "Miss Gu, long time no see."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Zhou Mu, who happened to be looking at her too.

The eyes of the two met, but were soon blocked by Xu Yanqing.
