Chapter 368 Feelings Are Mutual
Gu Xiyan saw Su Mei's dejected face: "Don't feel sorry for me, when the young master takes the highest position in the future, then I probably won't have so many scruples about dealing with you."
There are too many people staring at the throne now, Zhou Mu walked from the dark to the bright, I don't know how many people want to find Zhou Mu's fault, she needs to think more from Zhou Mu's standpoint.
"I'm just your best friend, but you want to cut off contact with me because of His Highness, how can I be happy?" Su Mei said in a muffled voice.
Besides, Emperor Chengde was in his prime, and when Zhou Mu became emperor, it would be many years later.
"So you are jealous of your son?" Gu Xiyan joked.
Su Mei said angrily: "It was originally. When you were not married to Your Highness, you didn't need to shy away from being with me, but now you have to think about His Highness in everything, does he know about it?"
Obviously Xiyan is so capable, but she will be trapped in the inner house for a whole week later.
It was Xiyan who said it before, love yourself more and don't pin your hopes on men. And Xiyan gave up her career and her friend just for the man.
"You don't need to let the young master know about this kind of thing. He didn't know that I was involved in these things from the beginning to the end." Gu Xiyan warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the young master."
"Xi Yan, you were not like this before. You said that you can't give up everything for a man. Look at what you are doing now? You are not afraid that His Highness will change his mind in the future, and you are not afraid that everything you have done is not worth it—"
Seeing that Su Mei's voice was getting louder, Gu Xiyan hurriedly covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down."
Su Mei glared at Gu Xiyan, and forcefully broke her hand away, "You don't want me as a friend anyway, you go!"
Gu Xiyan didn't expect Su Mei's reaction to be so big, it was beyond her expectation, she thought Su Mei could understand herself.
She tried to explain: "If we change places, if Rong Song is the son and you are me, will you make the same choice? Besides, it's not that I don't want you as a friend, it's just that I have as little contact with you as possible, no? Completely cut off..."
"I won't let you be my friend for Rong Song's sake. You said less contact, now you have so little contact, and if you want even less contact, isn't that severing contact? Your heart is so biased." Su Mei Very wronged.
She was just such a bosom friend, but Zhou Mu made her lose even this friend.
"On March 18th, the Wugu Grain Store opened for business. Are you unable to come to the site in person?" Su Mei asked Gu Xiyan anxiously.
Gu Xiyan's words came to her lips, and changed again: "You and I are friends, and your grain store is open, how can I not come? If I don't come, it will make people feel guilty. Don't worry, I will definitely be there!"
Su Mei's eyes lit up: "So your idea is right, there is no need to deliberately avoid us at all. Before you married His Highness, you already knew Rong Song and me. If you deliberately alienate us now, wouldn't it make people think that you Guilty?!"
Gu Xiyan was dumb for a moment, unable to refute Su Mei's words.
"So when it's time to come and go, anyway, you are just helping us with ideas about the grain store and the southern suburbs horse farm, and you have not participated in the operation. Even if someone wants to pour dirty water on you, there is no evidence to be found. You really did not benefit from the matter..."
Su Mei started her persuasive lobbying, and in the end she really convinced Gu Xiyan.
When she walked out of the grain store, Su Mei smiled and waved to her: "Xi Yan, when the grain store opens, you, a big man, remember to cheer me on, how popular I will be!"
Gu Xiyan nodded hesitantly.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Zhou Mu became a little jealous.
If Su Mei wasn't a woman, he wouldn't want her to see Su Mei again in the future. What kind of thing is it that a woman can seduce the soul of his little wife?
After getting into the carriage, Zhou Mu saw that she hadn't come back to life, so she asked unhappily: "The husband is in front of the madam, the madam doesn't see her as the husband, who are you thinking about?"
Gu Xiyan blinked her bright eyes, facing Zhou Mu's displeased face. Recalling that Su Mei was jealous of Zhou Mu before, now he seems to be jealous of Su Mei?
One is her best friend, and the other is the most important man in her life. The two of them are already old enough to do such childish things.
"The concubine is thinking about my husband." Gu Xiyan fixed her eyes and smiled, and pressed a kiss on Zhou Mu's face.
Zhou Mu was immediately blown away by her kiss, he pointed to his thin lips: "Madam, do you want to kiss again?"
Gu Xiyan laughed muffled, and sat down a little further away from him.
Zhou Mu's heart was moved when he saw her smiling sweetly. He stretched out his arms and caught her on his lap: "Do you want to kiss? How about kissing your husband instead of kissing you?"
His teasing look is no longer a tall flower, but like a romantic and elegant young man.
Plus he has a good appearance, it's hard for a woman not to be fooled by his beauty, right?
Gu Xiyan couldn't help kissing his beautiful thin lips, which made Zhou Mu flattered.
This girl is good at everything, but she is too reserved and easily shy. She rarely takes the initiative like today.
He was only kissed by her a few times, and he was a little dissatisfied again: "Your kissing skills are amazing, teach your wife for your husband."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Xiyan felt that he couldn't kiss anymore, he was too good at spoiling the atmosphere.
She punched him in the chest and was about to back away, how could Zhou Mu let him go? He pushed her back into his arms, and a long, hot and lingering kiss began.
Gu Xiyan didn't know how she got back to the mansion, she regretted that she took the initiative to kiss Zhou Mu, so he returned it to her with ten times more enthusiasm.
When she got out of the carriage, her legs were limp. She suspected that she was the first person to be kissed so that her legs were limp, and she would be killed.
The people who were serving in the Qishiyuan saw that Zhou Mu carried the hostess into the other garden. Although it was normal for the newlyweds to show affection, this was the first time they blatantly showed their affection.
Don't say that everyone was stunned, Gu Xiyan herself felt uncomfortable: "Young master let me down, I will go by myself."
"I am willing to run errands for my wife as a husband." Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows lightly.
Gu Xiyan felt that this person was the one who opened a dyeing workshop just for some color, and the more she talked about him, the more enthusiastic she became, so she simply let him go.
After washing up that night, Zhou Mu didn't directly throw Gu Xiyan down, and brought up his grandfather Yu's family for the first time.
Gu Xiyan had never heard Zhou Mu mention the Yu family, even in her previous life, Zhou Mu and the Yu family didn't seem to be that close.
This time she married Zhou Mu, not only did her maternal grandparents not have relatives to watch the ceremony, Zhou Mu's maternal grandparents also had no relatives. It was because when she was young and wanted to be kicked out by the Hou's residence, the Gu family didn't respond, and she knew at that time that the Gu family had given up on her.
The relationship is mutual, she was abandoned by the Gu family, so she naturally also abandoned the Gu family, and severed the relationship.
As for why Zhou Mu didn't invite Yu's family to watch the ceremony when they got married, she didn't even invite his grandmother. She didn't know if Zhou Mu didn't understand the world, or there were other secrets that she didn't know about.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was an edict that officials above the fifth rank could not enter the market. Of course, some dynasties were not so strict, but since ancient times, there was still a boundary between politics and business, otherwise it would be easy to be impeached, not to mention that Xiyan was involved in the grain business?
If the news that Xiyan can predict the future spread, it would be easier to be demonized by people in that era, and it would also affect Brother Mu, not that Xiyan was too worried.
