Chapter 113 Shocking ([-])
Gu Yunxiao sighed: "It's hard to say, first help me get hot water to wash, don't need too much, don't let people see it."

Liu Xu was always clever, knowing that she didn't want anyone to know that she was in a mess when she ran out just now, so she quickly called a small pot of hot water, and said that Gu Yunxiao had overslept and was sweating all over, and wanted to use hot water to wash her face. wipe.

The people in the kitchen naturally brought hot water without saying a word, but there were not many, and it was enough for Gu Yunxiao.

She wetted her handkerchief with a handkerchief, wiped her hands and face, changed the dirty dress, combed her hair again, looked at it for a moment, and saw that there was nothing wrong, then she leaned on the soft couch, only feeling lingering in fear.

If Ji Keran found out when he was eavesdropping just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It's just that the two met secretly, and although their demeanor was respectful, their words were a bit too intimate.

Obviously Ji Keran is Ji Jiaqian's nephew, and the two of them being together... is really a big scandal.

If it gets out, the entire Ji family might become the laughing stock of the entire Qing Kingdom.

Gu Yunxiao tapped the table with his fingertips, a little unsure, should he tell Xiao Xilin about this?
After all, it is the Ji family's private matter. Ji Jiaqian's reputation is not good. Now that she is married into the Gu family, will she only hurt herself?

But apart from Xiao Xilin, Gu Yunxiao didn't know who to tell.

She frowned in distress, looked up and saw Liu Xu's look of seeing a ghost, she couldn't help but turned around strangely, and she stood up in shock: "My lord?"

Xiao Xilin stood in front of the window with a calm expression, as if he came in through the gate instead of through the window. He glanced at Liu Xu, and the maid immediately jumped up and ran out like a rabbit: "Young maidservant, go to the door and stare. I won't let idlers disturb the girl's rest..."

Gu Yunxiao didn't miss Liu Xu's blushing face, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that Xiao Xilin was really blue-faced and troublesome, even a little maid couldn't stand his beauty.

"My lord didn't go back to the house?" Gu Yunxiao looked out the window, Xiao Xilin was still on the Zhuangzi, Ji Keran might be followed by others.

"Go back, come over the wall from the next door." Xiao Xilin stood on Hai Dongqing's shoulder and scratched its chin with his fingers. Kui Er let out a "cuckoo" twice in comfort. He didn't seem to feel that he had climbed over the wall. There's nothing wrong with coming here.

In particular, Gu Yunxiao's yard happened to be the closest to the fence, which was even more convenient.

Gu Yunxiao's eyelids twitched, and he didn't care about whether to climb over the wall or the window.Anyway, since Xiao Xilin will come over, he must have cleared the tail, and there will be no future troubles.

She didn't waste time, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ji and Mrs. Gu are too close, Mrs. Gu intends to let Mr. Ji continue."

As for the candidate for the continuation, Gu Yunxiao didn't know why, but he couldn't say it under Xiao Xilin's gaze.

Xiao Xilin didn't seem surprised by the relationship between Ji Keran and Ji Jiaqian when she heard the words: "The third girl doesn't know that Ji Jiaqian is not Mrs. Ji's biological daughter."

When Gu Yunxiao heard this, he couldn't help being surprised: "How could this be..."

Obviously, the old lady's love for Ji Jiaqian doesn't seem fake, so why isn't it her own daughter?

Raising a daughter for others would never be so meticulous and caring.

"At the end of the day, it's just a secret in the backyard, so it's not worth mentioning." Xiao Xilin said casually, as if this big secret was not a big deal in his opinion: "At the beginning, the old lady gave birth to a stillborn baby, and it was difficult to give birth. Basically, I had to go outside to pick up a baby girl."

Gu Yunxiao swallowed her saliva, Mrs. Hou was so courageous that she dared to move her mind under the eyes of An Guohou, and brought a daughter from outside to raise her.

Moreover, this concealment has been concealed for decades. I have to say that Mrs. Hou's wrists are really powerful.

"It seems that Mrs. Gu knows her own background?" Otherwise, she wouldn't be entangled with Ji Keran.

Xiao Xilin nodded: "Madam Gu is smart enough to detect something wrong when she was just getting old."

Gu Yunxiao understood that no matter how Madam Hou looked like her own daughter to Ji Jiaqian, outsiders didn't think much of it. As this daughter, it was possible for Ji Jiaqian to notice something.

When two people get along in private, there will always be some violations.

"Not only Mrs. Gu knows, but Young Master Ji also knows about it now. But if he is like this, he is not afraid that after Lord Hou finds out, he will make a mistake in the inheritance of the Hou Mansion?" Gu Yunxiao really can't figure it out. There are so many ladies in Beijing. Ke Ran didn't like which one, so why did he fall in love with Mrs. Xu's Ji Jiaqian?
Ji Jiaqian is indeed beautiful, but she is not young after all.Moreover, the two are still aunts and nephews on the surface. If they are together, those who don't know will probably treat them as street rats and scold them severely.

In this way, Ji Keran's future in this life is considered ruined, not to mention inheriting the Hou's mansion, even staying in the middle of the capital may become a luxury.

Ji Keran is such a smart man, there is no reason for him to come to this point.It's like walking on the edge of a cliff. If you accidentally take a wrong step, you will fall to pieces. Is it worth it?
From Gu Yunxiao's point of view, Ji Keran doesn't look like a man who is desperate for love, is there anything weird about it?
She frowned, unable to figure it out: "Madam Gu is so anxious to find a continuation for Mr. Ji, obviously to cover up the scandal between the two of them."

Poor that unlucky ghost who is about to become Ji Keran's continuation, it turns out to be me.

Gu Yunxiao sighed, and under Xiao Xilin's gaze, he couldn't help hesitating and saying: "The continuation that Mrs. Gu is looking for for Mr. Ji is exactly me, the third daughter of the Gu family."

Xiao Xilin raised her eyebrows, and finally showed her first surprised expression after coming in: "Is this what the third girl heard in the backyard just now?"

Gu Yunxiao nodded: "Mrs. Gu tried her best to speak well of Mr. Ji in front of me. I originally thought that the two of them were deeply in love with each other, so Madam wanted to help. In addition, from her point of view, the Hou's Mansion no longer needs the nobles of high-ranking families. A girl is the icing on the cake, it is enough for Mr. Ji to marry a virtuous wife from a small family, and that's why he fell in love with me."

Looking at it now, it's not that An Guohou's mansion doesn't need a rich family, but Ji Jiaqian knows that the matter between her and Ji Keran can't be hidden from Ji Keran, the person next to her bed.

If it is a noble daughter of a high-ranking family with a prominent family behind her, if there is a disturbance, the Hou Mansion will not look good, and they will suffer too. It is better to marry someone from a small family.Even if he knew, he was afraid of the door of the Hou Mansion, so he didn't dare to say anything, let alone make a fuss, and even helped cover it up for the sake of face, which was beneficial to Ji Keran.

I just feel sorry for this continuation, I'm afraid it will become a shield for the two people's affair, and this life is probably about the same as widowhood.

Gu Yunxiao didn't want to be this poor guy, but he couldn't think of a good way.

If Ji Jiaqian was interested and Mrs. Hou was persuaded, An Guohou would naturally not be a big problem.

As for the Gu family, even if Master Gu was unwilling, he would not take away Ji Jiaqian's kindness.It's not a bad thing for the Gu family that the two families get closer.Presumably Ji Jiaqian also had enough reasons to persuade Mr. Gu to agree to the marriage. The marriage of the daughter's family is all parents' words, and Gu Yunxiao can't even say "no".

Thinking of this, she was in a terrible mood, and the feeling of not being able to control her life was so sad.

Could it be that even if I know everything, I can only be pushed into this fire pit by Ji Jiaqian, and there is no way to get out except for futile struggle?
Gu Yunxiao's only hope is pinned on Xiao Xilin.

She blinked and looked at the man opposite, Xiao Xilin's black eyes fell on Gu Yunxiao's body, as if she could see the uneasiness of the third girl Gu: "I heard that Master Gu loves the second girl the most?"

The words were abrupt, Gu Yunxiao was taken aback, nodded and replied: "That's right, daddy prefers sister, but what does it have to do with this matter?"

"I think Mr. Gu expects the second girl to marry well. If the third girl marries into the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him." Xiao Xilin clicked to stop, but she immediately understood.

Gu Yunxiao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Indeed, it's my daughter's fault to make things difficult for Daddy."

Master Gu was all about marrying Gu Yunyan into a wealthy family. If her third daughter were to marry into the Hou Mansion, there would be very few families her sister could choose.

For Gu Yunyan, who is proud and arrogant, this must be unpleasant.She is unhappy, how can Master Gu not feel distressed.

So no matter how eloquent Ji Jiaqian is, I'm afraid she won't be able to convince Master Gu.

"It's getting late, I should go back." Xiao Xilin turned around and stopped suddenly: "Third Miss, let me remind you that it's better to be more cautious in the future. Mr. Ji is cautious and ruthless, even if you care If the master obstructs him, he will use all means to achieve his goal, so please be careful, Miss San."

"Thank you, Master Tai Tuo, for reminding me that the little girl must be careful in everything." For Xiao Xilin, Gu Yunxiao was grateful.

If it wasn't for this man's repeated help, she would have made a lot of embarrassments and suffered a lot.

She thought that the news she overheard in the backyard would be useful to Xiao Xilin, but in the end, it was this man who told her many things.

Gu Yunxiao sighed, she would not dare to approach Ji Keran again next time.Thinking of hearing his ruthless voice in the rockery, I couldn't help but feel chills all over my body.

Especially the phrase "shoot to kill", Ji Keran is not as gentle and affectionate as it seems on the surface, it is really a solid mask, and no one can see the cruelty under the mask.

I don't know if Ji Jiaqian saw the double face of this man, did she love the side Ji Keran showed her, or the side inside him?
Thinking of Ji Keran's deep affection in front of Ji Jiaqian, it is estimated that Ji Jiaqian, who was in love, didn't realize that the man in front of her was not a good person at all.

As soon as Ji Jiaqian turned around and left, Ji Keran's tone was very different, and the change was so fast that she couldn't help but be surprised.

In fact, what Gu Yunxiao thought was that Ji Keran might not place as much emphasis on the love of children as Ji Jiaqian imagined.So he is willing to play this love game with Ji Jiaqian, and he has put in enough energy and patience, and what does he want to get from Ji Jiaqian?
She didn't think that Ji Keran accepted Ji Jiaqian because she was idle and bored, and wasted time maintaining this dangerous relationship.

Gu Yunxiao thought for a while, and stopped Xiao Xilin who was about to leave: "What exactly does Mr. Ji want from Mrs. Gu?"

"Third Miss is indeed smart, but it's better not to get to the bottom of some things." Xiao Xilin gave her a meaningful look, causing Gu Yunxiao to be stunned, and stared blankly at him leaving through the window gracefully.

She stood blankly for a while, feeling her chest was suffocated, and slowly took a breath, only to realize that she had forgotten to exhale since Xiao Xilin spoke just now.

With just one look from this man, Gu Yunxiao was so shocked that his mind went blank.

That face should be the most eye-catching on weekdays, but in her opinion, it couldn't match the light glance of those eyes, and her whole body froze immediately, even forgetting to breathe.

Liu Xu heard that there was no more sound inside, and waited patiently for a while before coming in.Seeing Gu Yunxiao standing there blankly, she seemed to feel quite normal.

It is simply impossible for anyone who sees Master Tai Tuo nearby to be as open-minded as usual!

Liu Xu could still feel her chest thumping wildly, and the heat on her cheeks hadn't completely faded away, so she stepped forward to help the stunned Gu Yunxiao to sit down: "Girl, why did Master Tai Tu come here secretly?"

She glanced at Gu Yunxiao. There were rumors outside that Taifu Xiao fell in love with the plain-looking third girl from the Gu family. Most of the people laughed it off, and no one believed it.

After all, Xiao Xilin's identity is there, and with such appearance and posture, how can she fall in love with an ordinary little girl?
