Madam Leng and Xie Liqing had thought that Gu Yi was a talented young man with a bright future. Adding to that, his father was the Grand Secretariat to the current head of the Cabinet, so if the two families could get married, that would be for the best.

It was just that they did not know how Xie Xun thought about it.

Although the marriage needed the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, both of them hoped for the happiness of their children. Therefore, they respected the views of their children more in matters of marriage, unlike the other families. Once, Madam Leng called Xie Xun into the house and asked indirectly, "Are you on good terms with Grand Secretariat Gu's daughter, Gu Ruyi?"

Xie Xun nodded without thinking, "Sister Gu treats me very well."

Madam Leng made an "oh" sound, then turned and asked: "You have been to Grand Secretariat's mansion a few times, have you seen her brothers and sisters?"

Xie Xun heard her talking to Xie Liqing a few days ago and immediately guessed what she wanted to ask. Xie Xun lowered his head and stared at the Begonia Silk Embroidered Shoes at his feet, and stammered, "No ... "Never seen him before."

Unfortunately, her tone was too guilty, Madam Leng could tell that she was lying immediately.

"Really?"

She thought about it, shook her head, then nodded, "I've seen Sister Gu's two younger sisters ..."

had indeed only seen Gu Ruyi's sister, and had never seen Gu Yi before. The reason she felt guilty was because of that ... It was because she suddenly remembered that Gu Ruyi had asked Gu Yi to draw a picture of her. The color of the bamboo was evergreen and it was hung around her room as a decoration.

She was afraid that after Madam Leng found out about this, she would be even more committed to bringing her and Gu Yi together.

She wasn't prepared at all ...

Madam Leng touched her head and suddenly asked: "Did you hear what I said to your father last time?"

Xie Xun was stunned, she raised her head and asked hesitantly, "How do I know?"

Originally, Madam Leng was only guessing, but her performance was so obvious, which further confirmed Madam Leng's thoughts. Madam Leng's lips curled up into a smile, as if she was an obedient daughter. "That day, Senior Servant Lu came to the main house to deliver the dumplings, saying that you were the one who had personally wrapped them. I thought that if you did it personally, you would definitely have brought it here personally ... But you weren't there. I asked Lu mama and she said you left early. This is the only reason why Mother thinks so much. "

Xie Xun bit her lips and did not say a word.

"You're not satisfied with Eldest Young Master Gu?" Madam Leng said gently.

She shook her head, "No... I just don't know what kind of person he is. " Pausing, she said listlessly, "I can't bear to part with my mother and father."

The Madam Leng smiled, "Do you think this mother can bear to part with you? Your sis has only just married someone, if you were to marry someone else, there wouldn't even be someone by my side who would be able to talk to me. "

She told her that she was only going to choose a good marriage for her. As for when she would get married ... He definitely had to wait for her at her fifteenth birthday.

She calmed down.

The Madam Leng also talked about how great Young Master Gu was. He was a talented man, and there were many girls in the capital who secretly admired him. He also said that this person was humble and gentle, warm as jade, how good was that? was a little curious about this person, and did not reject him as much as before.
