Chapter 120 Sandwich Biscuits: Two Men Are Coming

"Miss Gu and I are...friends."

Zhou Mu added in her heart that they might become husband and wife in the future.

Gu Xiyan was the first woman he fell in love with, and she would also be the last, he was extremely certain.

"Miss Gu and I are also friends. It's not like this. I will go to Wanqinghou Mansion together with Brother Zhou to visit later, and I will see Miss Gu as a friend by the way. What does Brother Zhou think?" Xu Yanqing suggested.

If it was just his guess before, he could see clearly just now that Zhou Mu is his rival in love.

No wonder he didn't like this person when he first met Zhou Mu, it turned out to be the reason.

"It's inappropriate to go there rashly, don't let Master Xu come to my residence later." Zhou Mu immediately became vigilant when he heard that Xu Yanqing was going to Wanqinghou's residence.

Xu Yanqing's thoughts are clearly revealed.

"It wouldn't be considered impolite to ask Zhiyuan to go to Hou's mansion to inform later. If Brother Zhou doesn't go, then I'll go to visit Lord Hou by myself, and meet Miss Gu by myself." Xu Yanqing continued to probe.

Zhou Mu's eyes were heavy, his body had a gloom that was completely opposite to his exile-like temperament, and it seemed that even the air had cooled down.

Xu Yanqing saw Zhou Mu's emotional change, and became more confident in his guess, and dared to believe that this was his number one love rival.

As for Dong Yong, he was far less threatening than Zhou Mu.

With such a strong rival in love, Xu Yanqing's heart can't help but feel a little heavy.

No matter which noble son in the capital, he is confident of winning, but Zhou Mu...

His eyes fell on Zhou Mu's picturesque eyebrows. With this appearance and such a noble demeanor, he is no match for Zhou Mu anywhere.

What a frustrating experience!

The two of them no longer had any conversations along the way, Xu Yanqing had something on his mind, and Zhou Mu was also thinking about whether to stop Xu Yanqing from going to Wanqinghou's mansion.

Before, I wasn't sure that Xu Yanqing was planning on targeting Gu Xiyan, he didn't feel a threat yet.

Xu Yanqing no longer hides his intentions towards Gu Xiyan today, how can he tolerate Xu Yanqing getting closer to Gu Xiyan?

After all, Xu Yanqing's appearance, character and family background are all good, but this person is a rival in love whom he recruited himself. Thinking about it, I feel that I was dull before.

Soon the carriage arrived in front of the Zhou Mansion, Xu Yanqing got off the carriage first, and said to Zhou Mu: "Thank you Brother Zhou for giving me a ride, I'm going to the Hou Mansion..."

"Wait, I'll go with you to see Lord Hou." Zhou Mu was worried and interrupted Xu Yanqing.

Qi Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he looked at his young master in disbelief: "Young master, we didn't say hello to Lord Hou in advance, so it's not appropriate to go there rashly."

Young master, is this no longer avoiding anyone?

"It's okay, just let someone pass it on." Zhou Mu knew Qi Zhiyuan's concerns.

He is now on duty in the household department, and it is not uncommon for him to go in and out of Wanqinghou's mansion.

In the past, he was hiding from the world, but now he is joining the world.

Qi Zhiyuan heard what Zhou Mu meant, and went to the Hou Mansion first to inform.

The concierge first heard Mr. Zhou, the right servant of the household department, and Mr. Xu, the head of the Gyeonggi department of the household department, came to visit, so he didn't dare to neglect, and reported the matter to Wan Qinghou immediately.

Marquis Wan Qing had just returned to his residence not long ago, when he heard Zhou Mu coming, his brows jumped slightly.

In the past, Zhou Mu came to the Hou's mansion through secret passages, but this was the first time he came in openly, and Xu Yanqing was also with him, which made him feel unbelievable.

He hurried out to greet him, Xu Yanqing was a little surprised to see Wan Qinghou coming out in person.

It wasn't until Wan Qinghou bowed his hands to Zhou Mu for the first time that he felt something was wrong.

As Marquis Wan Qing, even if Master Mai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came to visit in person, Lord Hou didn't need to be so solemn, but Marquis Wan Qing respected Zhou Mu, such a reaction inevitably made people think deeply.

Zhou Mu also knew that there was something wrong with Wan Qinghou's reaction, but he couldn't remind him, so he could only say cryptically: "Your Majesty and Mr. Xu took the liberty to visit. I don't know if they disturbed the Marquis."

At this moment, Wan Qinghou remembered that Xu San was still there. He remembered the scene of saluting Zhou Mu just now, and secretly thought something was wrong.

Things have come to this point, he just smiled and said: "Both of you are young talents of our great Jin Dynasty, and they make Pengpi shine, please come in!"

Xu Yanqing saw Wan Qinghou with an exaggerated smile, and thought to himself that the last time I saw this Marquis, I didn't see him so unsteady.

Thinking about the scene where Zhou Mu and Wan Qinghou met face to face, they seem to have known each other a long time ago?

He read it right just now, the dignified Marquis Wanqing, who is also the favorite of His Majesty, actually saluted Zhou Mu, a third-rank official, first. This scene is so weird.

Does Zhou Mu have another special identity?

This thought flashed in Xu Yanqing's mind.

After that, he silently followed behind Wan Qinghou and Zhou Mu, seeing the way the two talked, it was obvious that they were old acquaintances. And it's not that he is overhearted, Wan Qinghou respects Zhou Mu very much in his speech and demeanor.

At this moment, he became more and more certain of his conjecture. There must be something wrong with Zhou Mu's origin, otherwise Wan Qinghou wouldn't have reacted like this.

Waiting to go to Kuanhe Hall, the three of them sat down one by one, Wan Qinghou was still chatting with Zhou Mu.

Xu Yanqing didn't feel that Wan Qinghou had neglected him at all, he was just a little anxious.

"Master Hou, I have something to ask you." Xu Yanqing interrupted at the right time.

"Master Xu, please tell me." Only then did Wan Qinghou remember that Xu Yanqing was also there.

"I haven't seen Ms. Gu for some days, and I want to see her today, and I want to say something to her, can I ask Ms. Gu to come out and meet?" Xu Yanqing made the request respectfully.

Wan Qinghou subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu glanced at him, then wandered around with the teacup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Xu Yanqing saw Wan Qinghou and Zhou Mu flirtatiously, he immediately became ill.

Could it be that he wanted to see Gu Xiyan, but also asked for Zhou Mu's permission?

Who is Zhou Mu, Gu Xiyan?

"Master Hou, please do me a favor." Seeing that Hou Wan Qing didn't answer, Xu Yanqing was a little anxious.

Hou Wanqing was also in a dilemma.

After all, His Royal Highness has taken a fancy to Sister Xi, and Xu Yanqing, who has no eyesight, is here to interfere again. Doesn't this make him difficult to be a man?

"This..." Wan Qinghou subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu again, hoping that Zhou Mu would give him some hints.

Pan Zhou Mu focused on drinking tea, as if he didn't see his eyes asking for help.

Having no other choice, he had no choice but to respond: "Master Xu, wait a moment, I'll ask Sister Xi to come over."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Mu, wondering what Zhou Mu's reaction would be.

Just one glance, I really can't tell if Zhou Mu is unhappy.

Actually, Zhou Mu is conflicted in his heart.

On the one hand, he didn't want Gu Xiyan and Xu Yanqing to meet face to face, on the other hand, he himself wanted to see Gu Xiyan very much.

During this period of hesitation, Marquis Wan Qing has already asked Gu Xiyan to come over.

When Gu Xiyan came to Kuanhe Hall, she saw Zhou Mu from a distance. She was about to step forward when she found Xu Yanqing was there.

Xu Yanqing quickly came to Gu Xiyan: "Miss Gu, long time no see."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Zhou Mu, who happened to be looking at her too.

The eyes of the two met, but were soon blocked by Xu Yanqing.

Brother Mu: Xi Yan looks at me.

Xu San: Xi Yan looks at me.

Sandwich biscuit sister Xi: I can't see it.

Hou Wanqing: Eat melons and watch operas

Daqian: Ask for anything
