Rebirth of marriage

Gu Xiao nodded.

It was indeed him who instructed the officials to take care of Xie Jiu. He knew very well what a beautiful woman would encounter on her way to exile.

Now Xie Jiu is smart and sharp, and as soon as he knew that they had known each other before, he could guess that he was taking care of you on the way to exile, so he decided to be honest about the Yang family's contribution, "That night, I allowed the Yang family to send you here. "

His face was calm and he felt a little uneasy.

Xie Jiu was thinking about Cai's words. Previously, she suspected that the person who made a deal with Yongning Marquis and asked her to become a widow in the Marquis' mansion was the same person who took care of her on the road to exile.

At that time, she felt that the man had an ambivalent attitude toward her, sometimes sparing her life, sometimes wanting her life. Now she knew that the person who really protected her on the road to exile was Gu Xiao.

What I couldn't figure out before is now clear.

The person who made the deal with Marquis Yongning had no intention of sparing her life, but he did not want to do it himself, so he broke his trust with Marquis Yongning and even contributed to the exile of Yongning Marquis' mansion.

He expected that Marquis Yongning would be angry with her. The other party wanted to use Marquis Yongning's hand to kill her, but Gu Xiaoheng intervened and failed.

Under what circumstances would the other party want her to die, but he couldn't do it himself, but had to borrow a knife to kill her?

It's fear.

Are you afraid of Duke Zhen?Because he knew that she was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhen Guo, the other party was worried that if something happened in the future, the Guo Zhen would avenge her?

If we imagine this, the person who did the deal with Yongning Hou would not be the person who transferred the contract. If the person who transferred the contract was afraid, he would not do the transfer.

Xie Jiu thought for a long time and came to the conclusion that there were at least two invisible enemies behind her.

One is the person who arranged a relationship between her and the fake Nihuang back then. This person is most likely the biological parents of the fake Nihuang.

Last time, she suspected that the old lady of Zhenguo Palace placed Cheng Cong next to Gu Xiao so that she could break the engagement at the critical moment.

But she still felt that the old lady was not so stupid that she would risk the whole family's guilt to do something to harm the prince for the sake of her granddaughter, so she thought of the fake Nihuang's biological parents.

The purpose of their subcontracting was most likely for glory and wealth. It would make sense to break their daughter's engagement with the unfavored prince so that her daughter could get a better marriage.

The other one was the one who forced her into the backyard of Yongninghou Mansion, not allowing her to appear in public, who wanted her dead but couldn't do it himself.

I don't have a clue about this person's thank you. The only thing I can guess is that the other person doesn't allow her to show up in public, which means that the other person doesn't want more people to see her appearance.

Is it her appearance that tells people about her life experience?

According to the information obtained from the old censor, she was not similar to the parents in Zhenguo Gongfu.

The thought that he might not be from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion came to his mind again.

But if she is not the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, who is the person behind her afraid of?What is her true life story?

"Jiu'er?" Gu Xiao's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Xie Jiu calmed down and looked at him, seeing that he looked worried and a little guilty.

Xie Jiu heard what he just said, and was slightly surprised, but not angry.

Again, it would have been someone else if it wasn't Gu Xiao. If it had been someone else, she would have been around several men at this time, or she might have become the lowest-level prostitute.

But she concealed her true emotions and only agreed with a slight hum. She was thinking about whether it was the right time to tell Gu Xiao about her life experience.

Gu Xiao just saw her frowning and being silent for a long time, but now her attitude was indifferent and he just thought she was angry.

He always felt that he was bullying others by acquiescing to the Yang family to send him a thank you wine, and he always felt that he owed the thank you wine. Now seeing her attitude, he felt even more guilty. He said in a soft voice, "I will let you punish me."

His tone was sincere, without any airs of a prince.

Xie Jiu raised his clear watery eyes and looked back at him.

She and Gu Xiao just had an quarrel over the boss's return to Beijing. Although it ended with Gu Xiao compromising, Gu Xiao's attitude was clear that he did not want to participate in the fight for the heir.

If he were to know at this time that he might be related to the Zhenguo Government, I'm afraid he would redefine the relationship between the two.

Xie Jiu'er could be the woman next to him without her status, but Princess Nihuang couldn't. Even if she Xie Jiu was willing, the emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo wouldn't be willing.

They will force him to marry a wife, or even be forced to participate in the heir apparent. The final result may lead to the separation of the two.

What's more, she now has doubts about her being Nihuang. If it is finally found out that she is not Nihuang, but she and Gu Xiao have a bad relationship because of this, it will really be more gain than loss.

This matter still needs to be investigated.

But Xie Jiu didn't like this feeling of being unable to express herself. She felt depressed, stood up and hugged Gu Xiao, "It was you who saved me."

On the way to exile, if Gu Xiao hadn't let the officials protect her, she would have been killed by Yongning Hou.

Gu Qing thought that the rescue she was talking about meant that if he didn't want her, the Yang family would send her to someone else's bed.

He didn't know how to reply to her words.

That was the unbearable experience she had experienced, and she was an accomplice of the Yang family.

If she really cared about it, she would be right to hate him.

But she didn't, maybe because she understood that she couldn't hate, and she needed his protection.

Thinking like this, Gu Xiao felt sorry for her. No woman didn't care about her chastity, but she didn't even have the qualifications to hate her. He felt even more guilty.

Now that he is her man, he cannot let her suffer any more injustice, Gu Xiao thought.

Xie Jiu took a deep breath in his arms and said, "Let's go and watch the New Year's Eve with everyone."

After this new year, she needs to make arrangements in time.

"Okay." Gu Xiao gently rubbed her head, holding her hand and leaving the room.

When he appeared in front of everyone, Xie Jiu faced everyone's gaze with a calm expression.

Compared to the things she had just been thinking about, the embarrassing thing she caused tonight was nothing, not to mention, these were people close to her.

She acted so openly, and everyone listened to Mo Qi's stories about the past, and no one mentioned that she had just been drunk.

"Oh, you're awake, come and sit here with grandma." The old lady greeted her hurriedly.

They are making dumplings around the fire. Eating dumplings on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year means auspicious reunion.

The old man also moved aside with a smile on his face to make room for them.

The two sat down and Xie Jiu smiled, "I happen to be a little hungry."

Mo Qi, who had just stood up, had come back with the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, and said, "The old lady was worried that Miss Xie and the prince would be hungry when they woke up, so she boiled the water and kept it hot on the stove. As long as you put the dumplings down, it would be quick." Enough."

Xie Jiu looked at the old lady, "Thank you, I'll be more careful next time and stop drinking."

She didn't shy away from the topic.

"It doesn't matter, who hasn't been drunk before." The old man said nonchalantly, "Your grandmother was also drunk when she was young. Even I couldn't recognize her when she was drunk."

Today he is a kind grandfather trying to comfort his drunken junior.

"You have a good memory." The old lady glared at him and pretended to hit him, but she turned her hand and put the wrapped dumplings into the boiling water on the stove.

Make dumplings for Xie Jiu and eat them.

She closed the lid of the pot and said with a smile, "But what your grandfather said is not a lie. I got drunk several times when I was young, and I often made trouble to him. However, it feels really good to get drunk once in a while."

Feng Zhilan had planned to make a joke about thanking the wine before, but she was worried that she would be embarrassed when she saw the person. She hurriedly echoed, "Listen to my dad, I used to love drunken boxing and climb trees..."

Lin Shu moved her mouth. She had never been drunk before, so she couldn't use her own experience to comfort Xie Jiu, so he handed her a glass of water.

Xie took the wine, the corners of his lips raised high, and a warm feeling filled his heart.
