Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

The more she talked with Yun Miao, the more Mrs. Zhong loved her. How could there be such a lovely girl, smart, beautiful, sensible, and most preciously, she had a pure heart. Mrs. Zhong had to admit that Yun Miao was indeed a rare good girl. Even Gu Yanting, whom she regarded as her own grandson, was barely worthy of Yun Miao.

Old Madam Zhong could also foresee this at this moment. When Yun Miao's appearance was seen by everyone, Gu Yanting would inevitably have to endure the jealousy of many people.

Seeing that it was getting late, Madam Zhong had to leave the Nanchang Marquis Mansion reluctantly. Before leaving, she also invited Yun Miao to visit their Ye Mansion.

When he returned to the Ye Mansion, Gu Yanting had been waiting for a long time. Knowing that he was anxious to know the result, Old Madam Ye did not keep him in suspense and directly told him the good news.

Gu Yanting finally relaxed his tense nerves after knowing that things had not changed. Although he knew that his marriage with Yun Miao was almost certain, he could not feel at ease until it was confirmed. Since the marriage had been confirmed, the next thing was to exchange tokens, send engagement letters, and pay betrothal gifts.

The marriage of the two attracted a lot of discussion. Although everyone knew that Gu Yanting and Nanchang Marquis had been getting along closely for a while, no one speculated in the direction of in-laws. After all, except for a legitimate daughter who was slightly acceptable, the rest of the Nanchang Marquis' daughters were concubines and their reputations were not prominent.

But when everyone learned that Gu Yanting was proposing to marry the second daughter of the Nanchang Marquis' Mansion, everyone was even more surprised. After all, since her rebirth, Yun Xi has been trying her best to discredit Yun Miao's reputation, which has led to everyone having a bad impression of Yun Miao.

At this moment, when they learned that Gu Yanting was actually seeking to marry the second young lady with a bad reputation, everyone was very confused. After all, although everyone had heard that General Gu was ugly, he was still very kind-hearted. In addition, he was powerful and his backyard was very clean, so there were still many people who wanted to marry him. But what everyone didn't expect was that for those families who wanted to marry him, Gu Yanting not only did not agree, but rejected them completely.

So many people were willing to marry their legitimate daughters to him in order to establish a good relationship with him, but he rejected them all. Now he has set his eyes on the concubine's daughter of the Nanchang Marquis's Mansion, and more importantly, whether this concubine's daughter has a good reputation. Many people are discussing privately, is it possible that General Gu has some handle that the Marquis's Mansion has caught, so he has to agree to this marriage!

Ignoring the rumors outside, Gu Yanting has been running to Nanchang Marquis Mansion more and more frequently since he and Yun Miao established their relationship, and some exquisite and valuable things have been sent to Yun Miao from time to time. Knowing that Yun Miao has not celebrated her birthday for so many years, Gu Yanting personally selected many interesting, exquisite, or gorgeous gifts for Yun Miao to make up for all these years. Yun Miao's neglected birthday.

The relationship between the two grew deeper as they spent more time together in daily life.

Yun Xi from the Prince's Mansion naturally also heard about Yun Miao and General Gu's engagement, but she didn't expect that they were actually engaged.

Yun Xi is not as high-spirited as before. She doesn't know why her mother-in-law, Princess Xuan of Qi, dislikes her very much. Moreover, the backyard of the prince's mansion is full of all kinds of beautiful women. What makes her angry is that the prince is unwilling to come to her room at all, but favors those concubines who are not presentable. Relying on the prince's favor, those people don't take her, the prince's consort, seriously at all. Every time she is a little strict with them, she will be scolded by the prince.

Whenever Princess Xuan of Qi saw her, she would either urge her to give birth to a child as soon as possible or ask her to discipline the prince to make progress. Today was no different. After greeting her, she started to repeat the same old topics. Yun Xi's ears were almost callused from listening to them.

"Xi'er, it's been a long time since you married Yun'an, and your mother has never interfered in your backyard. But your mother can ignore other things, but the matter of offspring, which is extremely important. No matter what, as long as there is an offspring in the mansion, it will be your credit. And no matter what, it will be your turn. And if Yun'an does something too much and doesn't give you the respect you deserve, your mother will not sit idly by. Of course, if you..."

"Since mother is so anxious, why don't you go and tell the prince directly. It's useless to tell these things to me. The prince doesn't like me, so how can I get pregnant soon? The prince always likes to go to the rooms of those concubines who are not presentable. Why don't mother discipline him more? What's the point of telling it to me here? I have something else to do in the house, so I'll take my leave first." When Yun Xi heard that Princess Xuan of Qi summoned her to talk about those things again, she retorted impatiently, then said goodbye casually and left.

Princess Xuan of Qi in the hall looked at Yun Xi's back in astonishment as she left after contradicting her. She was a little shocked and then said angrily, "How dare Yun Xi talk to me like that? Who gave her the courage? She is simply... Mammy, look at what Yun Xi just said. How dare she contradict me like that? Tell me what she did. If I hadn't helped her to clean up the mess, she wouldn't have had a good life. She actually dared to contradict me like that. In this case, you don't have to help her to clean up the mess in the future. Give orders, keep a close eye on the backyard and don't let them fall into the trap. Those few clever ones that the prince has taken a fancy to should be reminded not to be plotted against. If Yun An comes, let him come to my place."

Princess Xuan of Qi was really pissed off by Yun Xi this time. She didn't even think about how Yun Xi could possibly cover it up with her obvious means that could be seen through at a glance. If she hadn't helped to clean it up, Yun An would have discovered it long ago.

And how dare Yun Xi talk to me like that? No matter what, I am Yun Xi's mother-in-law, but she actually contradicted me like that. She didn't take me seriously at all. Since she didn't care about my good intentions, there was no need for me to help her.

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about? Why do you look so bad? Have you called a doctor to take a look?"

As soon as Qi Yun'an returned home, he heard the housekeeper say that his mother wanted to see him for something. As he went into the inner room to change his clothes, he asked the housekeeper, "Did the person here tell me what my mother wanted to see me for?"

"The person who came to deliver the message didn't say what the matter was, but only said that if you come back, you should go to the palace." The housekeeper answered, and then he thought of something and continued, "But before I asked you to go, the Crown Prince's Consort had just returned from the palace not long ago, and she didn't look very well."

"Did mother also go to see her? With her temper, who knows, she might have said something unpleasant to mother again." Hearing that Yun Xi had just returned from the palace, mother summoned him over, so something must have happened there. Qi Yun'an thought of Yun Xi's bad temper and said impatiently.
