After returning from the Lady Zeng's side, Xie Jingxi's eyelids still twitched from time to time. She had already expended quite a bit of energy just a moment ago, and now, her heart was feeling even more agitated, as if something bad was about to happen.

Su Yan came over for breakfast. Xie Jingxi had only used half a bowl of porridge before she said, "Take it down, ask the Senior Servant Liu to come over and ask for the list of people being invited."

"Miss, there's still some time until lunch. You can't take it if you only eat so little." Ming Yu looked at her pitiful breakfast and thought that if Young Master came back, he would have to trouble her to lie again.

"After the meal, I don't really want to eat anymore. Go and prepare some pastries. I'll eat when I'm hungry."

"Young lady, you are really something. Isn't the Full Moon Feast only a few days away? You only need to worry so much. You must eat two bowls of rice at noon. Otherwise, I won't lie for you, hmph."

"You're getting more and more out of hand right now, just treat it as an arrow for a chicken feather. Aren't you afraid that I'll hit you? Hurry up and ask for Mommy Liu!"

Ming Yu grimaced and ran off. Xie Jingxi was so angry that she laughed, but suddenly felt that her emotions were a little strange. She rubbed her eyes hard, forcing herself to focus on grabbing the Zhou banquet.

When Senior Servant Liu came over, she gave her some important invitations, "Grand Mistress, these are all people that you must invite, and I have already shown them to Madam and Marquis. Madam also said that if Grand Mistress has anything you want to invite, you can also decide it on your own, there is no need to ask for her help."

In addition, I need to open a storehouse to get the items and make a list as soon as possible. While the days are good, I need to wash them and dry them. I also need to trouble mother Liu to draw up a menu with the steward of the kitchen.

"Yes, yes, I remember all of them. Grand Mistress, do not worry, I will send someone to deliver them to you in the afternoon. If you need anything else, just go ahead and do it by yourself."

After Senior Servant Liu left, Xie Jingxi took a look at the list, other than the ones that she knew, there were also many other wives and grandma Shangguan, they were probably the family members of Gu Heng and the other close colleagues of Marquis. With such a rough estimation, there were at least two to three hundred people who came, but with Marquis Mansion and great reputation, it would not be possible to invite even a few hundred people.

"Ming Yu, go and send a letter to Grandmother inviting her over, you can also bring the Sixth Miss over, and also help Big Sis."

"Sigh, I understand. As for the lady …"

"Naturally, there will be a Marquis Mansion post."

Lady Xu was already acting like she had nothing to do with Yue Bing, even if she just sent the card, she would probably be thrown out. Xie Jingxi thought for a moment and said: Let's write one, I will write another.

So, Xie Jingxi took up her brush and wrote a post for the Old Madem, and then sent someone to deliver it to her. After lunch, Gu Heng sent someone to pass a menu of meat to her, and the person who came was Yue Wen who was in his study.

Xie Jingxi only thought of her when she saw her. Yue Wen's name was as quiet as her, she did not feel any presence in the residence, she had always been obedient, but for some reason, whenever she saw her, she felt uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid that Grand Mistress has never seen me before. My name is Yue Wen, I'm the girl who serves you the brush and ink in your study, Second Young Master has sent me here to deliver you a gift." When Yue Wen replied, she sneaked a glance at Xie Jingxi, and that glance alone allowed Xie Jingxi to catch a glimpse of what was going on.

Xie Jingxi thought about it, and felt that it was as if she was looking at an opponent she hadn't met in a long time, and she really couldn't understand when she had interacted with this girl before.

"It's my first time seeing you. You spend most of your time writing in front of the Second Young Master. You must have read a lot."

"Reporting to Grand Mistress, Yue Wen has only read a few words, she does not have many merits, and thanks Second Young Master for raising me, I have been waiting for you to write these words, please excuse me."

"It's good enough that you can read. If you're free, come over often to play. You stay in the study room all day, so come out and play around with everyone."

Sigh, Yue Wen thanks Grand Mistress. It's just that I have a personality that does not know how to play normally, I was just afraid that I might catch up with everyone, so I did not come out often. Luckily, there are a lot of books in Second Young Master's study, so I could use it to pass the time.

With these few sentences, she knew Yue Wen's position in Gu Heng's study. Even in her previous life, she didn't allow anyone to casually look at things in Gu Heng's study, so Yue Wen could actually look at things as she pleased.

"It's a good girl. Go back and tell your second master that I've received it. Thank you for the trouble."

"Yes, then Yue Wen will leave first."

"Ming Yu, send Yue Wen off."

opened the list that Gu Heng sent over, and inside there was even a piece, which actually stated all of the wives' taboos in detail. Xie Jingxi was a little surprised, although these small matters could be said to be insignificant, but normally, the Sect Leader's Wife would always pay attention to these small details, for family banquets, which wife would sit at which table, which person would have any dishes in front of them, and which person would like to eat or not, it was all a sign that Zhou Quan would be alright.

If you want to watch a show, you can make a fool of yourself. If you meet some grandma or grandma who has a strange taste, even if you don't say it, you will still feel unhappy. Sometimes, you can be a sinner if you don't care about a few small details.

He didn't know how Gu Heng found out about these things. As a man, he socialized outside, and rarely cared about these things. If it was done especially for her, she really wouldn't know what to say.

"Miss …" Ming Yu ran in, not knowing what to say, she stammered and asked: "What do you have to say that you can't say to me, have the person who went to the Xie Clan to send out the invitation came back?"

"Miss, you've already guessed it, say, madam is too annoying, why would we miss out on her, the posts we sent are all torn and thrown into her face. At any rate, you are currently the wife of the master of Marquis Mansion, at the very least, I have to give you some face, it's so unpleasant to hear it spread out."

Xie Jingxi was not surprised at all, she had already expected this outcome, in any case, her own grandson was here to capture Zhou, so no matter what, Lady Xu would definitely come, and after Xie Jingxi had done all of her face and martial arts, she could not come to a conclusion.

"Forget it. What's there to be angry about? Just ignore her. Does Grandmother have anything to say to me?"

"He said to tell the girl to be careful, she knows about the sixth girl, she'll bring it over." Ming Yu came over and whispered, "I heard that Liu Er disappeared a few days ago and was really pitiful. It was said that she was tortured to death and that Chan Er was pregnant, so she had already carried him off to the side.

Xie Jingxi was startled. Old Madem dotes on her and never told her about the bad things in the house, it must be a big ruckus. She didn't even know if his grandmother was angered or not, so she wouldn't fall sick again.

It was a pity, however, that ever since she lost her child, the Zhao Chang Family became more and more unsightly to them, the kind of family that could borrow another person's seed to continue their line of descent, who could do nothing against others. Seeing that Liu Er could no longer bear children, but was actually beating and torturing him to death, with different lives, the Chan Er worked hard, if she could get another girl for Xie Cen, it could be considered as her hope for the rest of her life.

"Do you have any news about Jingyu?"

"I heard that Master does not allow him to go to the backyard anymore. He has been studying in the front yard all day, Master is watching him personally."

But that's fine, now that Lady Xu is so awkward with her family, it's not easy for Jingyu to stay in the middle, it's fine to wait until he finishes his exams before doing anything else.

After listening to his bad thoughts for a long time, the irritation in Xie Jingxi's heart grew even stronger. She rubbed her glabella and sighed, "Go and ask eldest young master if he will come back for dinner tonight."

"I say, this young lady misses Young Master again. My mind is not at rest, I will go now."

Xie Jingxi had always been able to restrain her emotions, but today, she did not know why, but she couldn't calm down no matter how much she counted. She could be wrong, but when she thought about the pills that the Old Man Ji had given her, at the end of the day, she instructed Ming Yu to boil one. She thought that she was probably used to taking soul calming medicines, so she stopped eating all of a sudden, causing her mind to become restless.

At night, Gu Yun did not come back to eat, but instead casually ate a little, and quickly reduced the amount of dishes on the menu, but he did not know what Gu Yun had been busy with these few days, it was obvious that he had nothing to do in the yamen, unless he was called over to eat again by his comrades.

Once Xie Jingxi thought about it too much, she would not be able to fall asleep, and only felt like she was tossing and turning on the bed without sleep. Just when she was about to lose patience, Gu Yun returned.

"Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Do you miss me?" Gu Yun came over to see that she did not look too good, and thought that he was sick. He held his in his arms and looked at his carefully, "How did you tire yourself to such an extent again, did you drink the medicine the old man prescribed?"

Seeing him return, most of the annoyance in Xie Jingxi's heart disappeared, and she simply nestled into his embrace, "The medicine has been drunk, and I'm not too tired, but father wants to help Eldest Miss organize the weekly feast. I have a lot of things to take care of, and it's just that it's been a bit hard on my mind, have you been busy lately, why are you always back so late?"

"Come and let me see." "Looks like you've missed me. It's King Jin that has asked me to come to your residence to drink recently, or else I'll bring you over as well. Coincidentally, Prince Jin's Wife also said that he hadn't seen you for a long time, which also saved you from thinking too much at home."

"I'm not thinking at all. I'm busy."

Xie Jingxi lowered her eyes and did not look at him. Gu Yun laughed softly and said, "Alright,, I didn't think about it, I missed you alright? I will come back as early as possible tomorrow, so that you won't be so busy at home, I still feel sorry."

"I'm not talking nonsense anymore, I'm going to sleep." Just as he was about to bury himself in the quilt, Gu Yun fished it out again, "Since you've already drunk the medicine, it's my turn to take it, if not I will let you down and wait for me here for half a day."

"Gu Xuanchen, you're being disrespectful again …"
