The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

"Master Marquis, madam."

As soon as the Gu family's housekeeper opened the door, he saw the Qi family's parents standing at the door and hurriedly saluted.

The butler signaled the servant to go into the house quickly to inform the Duke of Zhenguo, and at the same time he took the two of them to the main hall.

He led them through the winding corridors, up a few steps, and finally came to the spacious and bright main hall.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a general's residence, the main hall is also very exquisite, with exquisite furniture and gorgeous decorations, which makes it look solemn and elegant.

The butler served tea and said to the two, "My Lord, Madam, please wait a moment. Our Duke will be here soon."

Gu Qi was flipping through some ancient books in the study when he suddenly heard the voice of a servant outside the door: "Duke, the Marquis and his wife of the Qi family are here to visit."

He raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and frowned slightly. Why did someone from the Qi family suddenly come to visit?

He stood up and walked to the door, about to greet them in person, but saw his wife Zeng Zhihua also coming over after hearing the noise. The two looked at each other, and both caught a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

"understood."

Gu Qi and Zeng Zhihua came to the main hall together. It was rare for the two families to be polite to each other.

"I wonder why the Marquis and his wife came to visit?"

Gu Qi asked straight to the point.

Qi's father and mother looked at each other, and then Qi's mother spoke up, "I heard that the young master and Miss Lin Jiaxuan are in love and have a good relationship. We don't have much contact with the Lin family, so I wanted to ask the Duke, is the young master in the mansion?"

When Zeng Zhihua heard her say this, she knew that the Qi family must look down on the Lin family, so she came to the Duke's Mansion to inquire about the news.

She elegantly picked up a cup of fragrant tea and gently blew away the foam on it, looking calm and composed. Then, she tilted her head slightly and said with a little apology: "Madam Hou, please forgive me. My Nanyuan is not in the mansion at the moment. He grew up in the military camp, and we don't interfere too much with him."

At this moment, in another room, Gu Nanyuan was quietly listening to Qingji's report. He was very satisfied with his mother's answer.

"Okay, I see."

Gu Nanyuan understood that his mother answered like this because she didn't want him to get involved, so he simply left the house and went to the military camp.

"Princess, our two families are also old friends."

When Mother Qi heard this, she realized that Gu Nanyuan was not at home at the moment and there was no way she could find out.

But she was anxious, and she couldn't just go to the door, so she said, "I heard that the eldest sister of the Lin family just got divorced, and it was the young master who facilitated it."

"What do you mean, Madam Hou?"

Although Zeng Zhihua is the wife of a duke, her status as a princess cannot be underestimated if she shows her expression.

"No, no."

When Qi's mother saw Zeng Zhihua's face turn dark, she knew she had said something wrong and hurried to explain.

"It's like this. Although family disgrace should not be made public, my bastard boy has fallen in love with the eldest sister of the Lin family."

Zeng Zhihua immediately turned to look at Gu Qi when she heard this, and both of them looked at each other with doubts and curiosity. They both knew that marriage was not a simple matter of love, but involved many complex factors, the most important of which was being well-matched.

The Yongliang Marquis' Mansion is a prominent family in the capital, and the requirements for family background are even more stringent.

"Oh?"

Gu Qi took over the conversation, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The Lin family is just a small official. Their status and reputation are completely different from the noble young marquis. The young marquis is of royal blood and has an extremely noble status. How can a small official like the Lin family be worthy of him?"

You know, considering the status and position of Lin Ruoxue, the eldest sister of the Lin family, it was originally difficult for her to match up with the Qi family.

What's more, Lin Ruoxue is a pregnant woman who just divorced. Therefore, the Qi family will definitely not accept such a woman, let alone let her enter the house and become a member of the Qi family.

"The child is willing. When our Qi family seeks a daughter-in-law, we only look at her character, not her family background."

Mother Qi was stunned for a moment before she spoke, her voice a little hoarse.

"But the young master is not in the mansion at the moment, so we will take our leave."

Qi's father stood up and said goodbye.

After watching the two people get on the carriage and drive away back to the mansion, Gu Qi and Zeng Zhihua turned around and went in.

Although the Qi family’s current statement is “only character, not family background”, who can believe this?

In the evening, Gu Nanyuan returned home after training the soldiers in the military camp.

As soon as I entered the gate, the butler said, "Young Master, the Duke and the Princess are waiting for you in the main hall."

"it is good."

Gu Nanyuan nodded and walked towards the main hall.

"Father, mother."

Gu Nanyuan bowed and sat down at the bottom.

"Nanyuan, do you know that the young marquis of the Qi family wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family?"

Zeng Zhihua went straight to the point and directly talked about the visit of Qi's parents today, saying that they wanted to inquire about the background of the Lin family through Gu Nanyuan.

Gu Qi added: "Could it be that the young marquis of the Qi family has some hidden illness? Otherwise, how could Marquis Yongliang and his wife agree to let their only son marry a divorced woman?"

Gu Nanyuan was also stunned when he heard this.

"I don't know about this."

As he spoke, he thought, could it be that Qi Zeshen was doing something big behind the scenes again? Forget it, it's better to mind his own business.

After saying hello to Gu Qi and Zeng Zhihua, Gu Nanyuan returned to his room.

He snapped his fingers, called Qingji over, wrote a note and asked him to deliver it to Qi's house.

The next day, Gu Nanyuan got up early and drank tea in Rulou's private room.

After a while, Qi Zeshen arrived.

"What's going on, kid? You want to marry Sister Xue from the Lin family?"

Qi Zeshen drank a cup of tea and sighed deeply.

"I knew that my parents would come to you to ask about it." Qi Zeshen asked cautiously, "You didn't say anything more, did you?"

"No. Mother stopped your parents. I didn't run into them."

Gu Nanyuan did not hide it and continued to ask, "How did Lord Qi and his wife agree to this? How could they agree to this when they are so important to their families?"

Qi Zeshen knew that he could not keep this secret, so he told Gu Nanyuan his stupid and quick method.

"you really……"

After hearing what he said, Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but admire his dirty trick, but he also had to admit that this trick was really the most effective.

The two talked for a while and then went back home.

When Gu Nanyuan passed by Juzhenzhai, he saw Lin Ruoxuan. He followed her in and watched Lin Ruoxuan pick out some cakes and go to pay.

"Boss, put it on my account!"

Gu Nanyuan spoke.

Lin Ruoxuan was startled by him. She turned around and saw that it was Gu Nanyuan, and scolded him a few words.

When Gu Nanyuan sent her back home, he found out that Lin Ruoxue wanted to eat Juzhenzhai's pastries, so Lin Ruoxuan went out.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxue was in Sun Rong's room, asking about the situation of Lotus and Huadiao.

Sun Rong looked at Lin Ruoxue and avoided her gaze several times. Finally, she said, "Xue'er, Xuan'er is your biological sister. She will definitely not harm you. No matter what she does, it's all for the good of Hehua and Huadiao. Don't worry about it. Just focus on your pregnancy."
