Chapter 103 Surprise (Part [-])
He looked down at Gu Yunxiao's sleeping face again, she was not sleeping soundly, her brows were tightly frowned, her face was pale, compared to her bravery against the black bear, she now looked a bit weak.

This little girl is unruffled in the face of danger, which is impressive.

Xiao Xilin later went to see the body of the black bear. Among the four feathered arrows, except for the one broken by the bear's paw, one fell on the tree trunk. It should be that Gu Yunxiao was still a little flustered at the beginning.

The remaining two sticks landed firmly on the black bear.Especially one of them pierced the black bear's eye, if not, Gu Yunxiao would have been hard to escape.

If it was an ordinary girl, there were only four feather arrows left, and she had given up in despair. Only Gu Yunxiao was struggling to survive, so she had the courage to deal with a black bear that was much taller than her.

Xiao Xilin's eyes were slightly sunken, and the color of her eyes almost blended with the night.The last person Gu Yunxiao met was Gu Yunyan, and she took most of the feather arrows. He had to suspect that all of this was probably Gu Yunyan's handwriting.

But how capable is a little girl who was raised in a deep boudoir, knowing that there was a black bear in the hunting ground that ran to the East District, and taking away the feather arrow in advance to put Gu Yunxiao in danger?
Everything seemed to be driven by an invisible hand, Xiao Xilin never believed in the so-called coincidence.It's just that how Gu Yunyan did it is debatable.

Originally, it was just his guess, without evidence, no one can be sure that Gu Yunyan did it.

But this girl was too impatient, even more impatient than Xiao Xilin expected, which really made him grasp the clue.

Gu Yunxiao saw the scene of being chased by a black bear again in her dream, her heart beat faster, her palms were covered with cold sweat, and she was almost drowned in despair.

At this time, she gave all the feather arrows to Gu Yunyan. She was chased by the black bear and had no ability to resist. Her heart was full of remorse and unwillingness.The mount was killed, and her limp legs kept running forward, but slower and slower.

The fishy smell from the black bear's mouth could already be smelled, and Gu Yunxiao happily saw himself being chased, then the black bear raised its paw and slapped her on the head...

Gu Yunxiao opened his eyes suddenly, his head was covered with cold sweat, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Suddenly seeing the black figure in front of the couch, she was startled and opened her mouth to scream, but the other party noticed and covered her mouth with her hand.

Xiao Xilin leaned over and said softly: "I have wronged the girl, but if the girl yells loudly, I'm afraid it will attract other people."

Gu Yunxiao's eyes widened, and before he had fully recovered from the nightmare, he suddenly saw that handsome face, and nodded in a daze.

"Don't worry, everything is over. I'll have a pair of bear paws delivered tomorrow, and ask the cook in the Hou Mansion to cook them for the girl to try." Bear paws are rare, although the black bear was hunted by Xiao Jiawei in the end, but It wouldn't be so easy without Gu Yunxiao hurting the black bear's eyes before, and it's only natural to give her a pair of bear paws.

Xiao Xilin's comfort was different from others. If Ji Keran was here, he would definitely put his arms around her shoulders, comfort him gently, and even hold his hand, and accompany Gu Yunxiao so that she could sleep peacefully.

Master Taifu was much more straightforward, didn't the black bear bully her and almost killed Gu Yunxiao?
Now that she is dead, after Gu Yunxiao eats a pair of delicious bear paws, she will naturally forget the fear that the black bear has brought her, and only a delicious taste is left.

Thinking about it this way, the discomfort caused by the nightmare just now seems to have dissipated a lot, and Gu Yunxiao's lips even raised a slight arc: "Then thank you, my lord, the little girl has never tasted the taste of bear's paw. The cook who brought him must know how to deal with this rare delicacy, but the little girl feels a little bit sorry to snatch food from the big mouth."

"It doesn't matter whether it's porridge, side dishes or delicacies, it's all for filling your stomach, there's no difference." Xiao Xilin waved her hand, not caring.

Gu Yunxiao is funny, if those wealthy businessmen who are eager to bear their paws hear Xiao Xilin's words, they will probably die of depression.

They spent a lot of money, put on a show, searched for rare ingredients to make delicacies to taste, and highlighted their extraordinary status. Now in Xiao Xilin's mouth, it seems that their efforts are in vain.

Xiao Xilin heard that the faint scent of medicine on Gu Yunxiao's body was familiar to her, and her brows eased: "The wound medicine that was sent was brought back by Mrs. Gu, and the boy only had time to secretly stuff a bottle for the girl's maid. It takes three days to smear the scars, and it will recover within ten days."

He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it in Gu Yunxiao's hand: "I still have some here. I came here in a hurry, so I only brought this one bottle. If you need more after it's used up, just ask your maid to get it next door."

Xiao Xilin was generous, this wound medicine smelled and knew that the medicinal material was rare and extremely extraordinary.Now I just gave her two bottles, one of which is still close to her body, and Xiao Xilin's body temperature still remains in her hand, Gu Yunxiao only feels warm in her heart.

"Thank you sir for giving me the medicine," Gu Yunxiao said gratefully in a soft voice, "It's just that my mother's behavior is really strange. It stands to reason that she shouldn't be so obvious to offend Sir."

If you refuse without mercy, it will be embarrassing for Xiao Xilin.

After all, he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is also a first-rank Taifu. There is no reason why Ji Jiaqian would not be willing to make friends with Xiao Xilin.

He was usually polite when meeting each other, but at this time he was distant and polite, wishing to push Xiao Xilin away.

Xiao Xilin leaned over and met her eyes: "Madam Gu's appearance is not similar to that of An Guohou and Madam Hou, not even any similarities."

Gu Yunxiao was taken aback, his expression turned strange.

Indeed, as Xiao Xilin said, An Guohou has a hulking back and a square face with Chinese characters.Mrs. Hou has an oval face, and she was also pretty and pleasant when she was young.It's just that Ji Jiaqian's appearance is astonishingly beautiful compared to the two of them.

The second master is somewhat similar to An Guohou, and the first master should be the same, his appearance is not very outstanding, but he is very square.

Could it be that Ji Jiaqian was left behind by An Guohou and some beauty Chun Xiao after a night, and was raised under Mrs. Hou's lap?

Gu Yunxiao frowned, but it didn't make any sense. After all, Mrs. Hou's love for Ji Jiaqian was genuine, and she didn't show any sympathy at all.

If it is said that the child born to her husband and another woman was brought up, even if Mrs. Hou dotes on Ji Jiaqian on the surface, she will always feel a little pimple in her heart. How can she be as unconcerned as she is now?

If Madam Hou gave birth to Ji Jiaqian with another man, that would be even more impossible.The Marquis of Anguo's mansion is heavily guarded, Mrs. Hou wants to have an affair with a man in private more than once or twice, and she is still under the nose of Marquis of An Guo, how can she hide it?
When Gu Yunxiao came back to his senses, he realized that the two of them were very close. Xiao Xilin's warm breath seemed to spray on his cheeks, his ears turned red, and his face was hot.

With such a handsome man right in front of him, it was hard for anyone to remain indifferent.

Knowing that Xiao Xilin was worried that the partition wall had ears, she lowered her voice very low, so that she could hear it by herself.

Gu Yunxiao moved back a little, and Xiao Xilin took a step back obediently, letting her secretly breathe a sigh of relief: "The little girl doesn't quite understand what the Grand Tutor means."

Moreover, where did Xiao Xilin inquire about such a secret?

An Guohou's love for Ji Jiaqian's daughter is real. Seeing her marrying into the Gu family again, you can see the expensive dowry.

Even An Guohou didn't know, where did Xiao Xilin get the clue?
"For the rest, Miss Gu will help you." Xiao Xilin smiled slightly, showing off a little.

Gu Yunxiao was speechless for a moment, and only gave a few clues, but no other clues, how could she follow the clues to investigate?

Xiao Xilin's ability is much greater than hers, why ask herself, an unfavored daughter of the Gu family, to help?

"Madam Gu is in the back house, no matter how powerful I am, I can't get too close." Xiao Xilin couldn't, but Gu Yunxiao didn't have such worries.

"And Mrs. Hou, maybe you know something, the girl can start from here."

Speaking of this, it would be difficult for Gu Yunxiao to shirk.Xiao Xilin's abacus was sound, but why didn't she believe what she meant?
For so many years in the Gu family's obscurity, she has always been covered by Gu Yunyan's aura. Growing up in the shadow of her sister, few people can notice her.

Now that her sister's sweetheart asks her for help, Gu Yunxiao has an indescribable feeling, as if one day she left the cave where she was imprisoned, she finally felt enlightened.

"Master Tai Tu can trust me so much that you are not afraid that the little girl will sue her mother?" Gu Yunxiao lowered his head, not letting him see the smile in his eyes.

"Miss won't be like this, after all you are a sensible person." Xiao Xilin smiled and said again: "Miss is willing to help with this, so I will help you settle the recent worries, how about?"

Recent worries...

Gu Yunxiao raised his head in astonishment, and blurted out: "Does your lord know?"

After finishing speaking, she pursed her lips again, it was really hard to say: "The little girl really doesn't understand what mother thinks."

"No matter how you think about it, it's not for the good of you girl, but for the good of Mrs. Gu." Xiao Xilin pointed out the problem sharply, and then threw the bait: "This matter is not easy for the girl, so let me take over, and it must be done properly." Is it proper, can it be regarded as part of the reward for the girl?"

Gu Yunxiao hesitated and said, "Will the Lord's presence cause dissatisfaction in the Hou Mansion?"

It is naturally the best that Xiao Xilin can help.But Ji Keran is the eldest grandson of the Marquis of An Guo after all, so he will spoil Ji Keran's good deeds if he doesn't care about his feelings, I'm afraid this person won't let it go.

In the end, because of her affairs, Xiao Xilin caused trouble, and I was really sorry.

"Don't worry, girl, this matter can be settled without me personally. An Guohou is a man who follows the rules, and Mr. Ji is his preferred heir, so he will not easily compromise on this matter." Xiao Xilin said the truth, straightforward enough white.

An Guohou would not let Ji Keran marry a girl of low status as his wife, after all, this represented the face of the Hou family.

This is different from Ji Jiaqian, she is a daughter, a woman is low-married, with the support of a powerful natal family, she will only live comfortably in the future.

But as a man, marrying someone from a small family is a joke.

Gu Yunxiao raised his eyebrows, and said uncertainly: "No matter what Young Master Ji is, mother is very sure that An Guohou will not obstruct this matter. Moreover, An Guohou is now very popular, and the eldest grandson marrying a wealthy family may provoke the emperor. Dissatisfaction and…”

and fear...

Xiao Xilin understood what he didn't say, and he shook his head slightly: "The girl doesn't know something, and An Guohou has no fear of it."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yunxiao almost jumped up from the bed in shock.

Not afraid of this, is it because An Guohou has made a decision in his heart, and he doesn't care about the emperor at all?

If so, does An Guohou still want to rebel?

Gu Yunxiao looked at Xiao Xilin in amazement, seeing him nodding his head slightly, obviously affirming her guess.

She immediately swallowed her saliva, thinking that she knew such a secret matter, if she accidentally leaked it out, she might lose her life.

"So, Lord Hou won't be afraid, but do Young Master Ji and mother know about it?"

"Young Master Ji may know something vaguely, but Mrs. Gu probably doesn't know." Xiao Xilin saw Gu Yunxiao's panicked face, but it was rare to see him: "Aside from the emperor and me, only Miss Gu knows about this matter. Please keep your mouth shut, so as not to cause complications."

"It's natural, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my mouth in my sleep, and if I accidentally leak it out in my sleep, it will be terrible." Gu Yunxiao sighed, the best way is actually Xiao Xilin didn't tell her at all. Character.

But it's too late to say it now.
