Gu Zhiyuan brought her back from the countryside, just for the sake of marriage with the royalty, using her identity as the direct descendant as a stepping stone, everything was perfectly justified.

In reality, they were trying to win over the prince for the sake of Gu Ziyan's future plans.

Today, she had also instigated the conflict between her and the Madam Liu, but because she was previously weak and incompetent, she had never truly resisted the Madam Liu, thus she instigated them today.

But what good would it do to provoke him?

"Daddy, I don't understand."

Gu Mingyan calmly shook her head, as though if Gu Zhiyuan did not tell her everything that was on her mind, she would continue to pretend to be stupid.

But Gu Zhiyuan just treated her as his daughter, sometimes being smart and sometimes being stupid.

"In the end, Qingzhou is not my father's own son."

"But brother Qingzhou treats you as his own father. Since Gu Xu is still young, it would be difficult for him to enter the ranks of the elites even if he does not cultivate the martial arts. How is that useful?"

Gu Mingyan tilted his head, his words sounded somewhat aggressive from their first meeting.

For a moment, Gu Zhiyuan was speechless, he only looked at her quietly for a long time.

"Men and women are different after all. Father naturally believes in Zi Yan, but he would never believe in Qingzhou."

With that, Gu Mingyan suddenly remembered that the men here were superior to the women.

Although the position of prime minister could not be inherited, if it was the eldest miss of Prime Minister's Mansion, she would also become someone else's vassal in the future.

But if it was a young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would naturally soar to greatness in the future. Although his status was not as grand as the position of prime minister, he would still be an important official after many years of fighting.

Gu Zhiyuan could use her daughter to marry, but she could not use her son to gamble on her later years.

They were deep in thought and ambitious.

If it was in normal times, she would naturally feel that such a person could walk for a long time.

Today, he wanted to drag his father down from the high ground and let him taste the feeling of having fallen into the mud.

"Furthermore, Gu Xu is blood related to you. If he gains power in the future, you can look after him." Gu Zhiyuan said softly, her eyes filled with tender affection: "Your aunt doesn't want you to fight for her love with your son Yan, and it was father who picked a good husband for you. Regarding Gu Xu, you should take care of him as your own brother, not to mention your courtyard is cold, if you have a brother who lives with you …"

"Father, your daughter has done so much for you. Now that I have participated in it, aren't you afraid that your father will not fear the plans His Highness has set for Gu Xu?" Of course, Gu Mingyan was willing to let his father face Xu'er, but the current pampering, was only pushing him to the heart of the struggle. He was still young, and would probably be pushed back into the darkness in a few months.

In this world, despair was nothing but a step away from hope before falling into the abyss.

But it was just a kid with all his teeth.

"And why would His Highness care about a ten-year old little brother of yours?" Gu Zhiyuan scoffed.

"Your Highness won't care, but Gu Xu has been bullied by others for more than ten years, what grudges he has in his heart, what grudges he has in his heart, not only will he not help Father solve the problem, in the future, he might even use a heavy sword on you. At that time, your daughter will already be married into the Seventh Prince Palace, so what can you do to stop them?" Gu Mingyan pitifully retorted, "If father wants to win him over, he might as well send him to stay at Grandmother's courtyard. This way, he won't let aunt ask him for warmth and help him get infected.

After saying that, Gu Zhiyuan's heart also came to a conclusion.

However, the gaze with which he looked at his daughter became increasingly strange.

"Brother Qingzhou, what are you thinking about? Even your daughter has heard of you," Gu Mingyan said. "Gu Xu is still young, you have something to create, but father is too impatient, your days are still too early."

"These words... You thought of it yourself? "

Gu Zhiyuan's gaze turned gloomy, the eldest daughter's thoughts had already far surpassed his control.

"It is my daughter's wish, but father is relieved, my daughter is naturally on your side, if not I would have agreed to this matter today, and if I were to link Gu Xu with her again, in the future, the person who will fall will be you."

Gu Mingyan laughed, but the words that came out caused even Gu Zhiyuan, the father, to feel a chill on his back.

This was not impossible.

But after thinking about it carefully, these two possibilities were all nothing more than illusions. He still had yet to figure out the future variables, so he really shouldn't be anxious.

Since his daughter had given him some pointers, he did not linger any longer. He instructed the people to wait for the old mistress to return, and then directly send Gu Xu there to take care of him. Using the name of the young master, he found a simple master to teach him, so he did not go out and make a fool of himself.

When Gu Mingyan heard the news, he was leaning against the long corridor with a book in his hands, looking at the scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh.

This time, her father actually did as she said.

But in private, it was unknown how much her father really believed in her.

However, Gu Xu at least had a few years to live a good life.

She was thinking about whether to send a message to let her highness know that Mrs. Xu was gone, when she saw Qiu Mei hurrying in with Big Sister Shuang Hua at her back. She originally wanted to go up to her with joy and comfort her swindler sister.

However, when he thought of the person he was looking for, he simply closed the book with a "pa" sound, leaving a cold expression on his face.

Shuang Hua walked up to pay his respects with an awkward expression: "Eldest Miss."

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Mingyan awkwardly glanced at her, but he still raised his hand to sweep a handful of snow off her cloak, and then quickly retracted his hand.

The two servants looked on earnestly from the side, causing Shuang Hua to cough lightly, then half kneeled on the side of the stairs and said softly: "Shuang Hua is loyal to Your Highness, and has not passed through anything. If Eldest Miss is not satisfied or resentful, Shuang Hua is willing to leave Your Highness's side."

The voice was loud and clear, but before Gu Mingyan could act out his act, Qiu Mei had already gently tugged her sleeve.

Pretending to remember the Madam Liu's warning, he said impatiently, "That's good."

Qiu Mei pulled at her again, and she angrily waved her sleeves as she stood up, flipping to face Shuang Hua.

Shuang Hua raised his head to look at her, only to see the big miss' bright white hand.

"Forget it, it's all my fault that I was young and inexperienced, and even messed up the dispute between Big Sis Shuang Hua and Her Highness."

"Thank you for understanding."

Shuang Hua took the opportunity to pull her hand, but did not let her use even a little bit of strength.

The two of them looked at each other, and they could clearly see a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, Big Sister Shuang Hua still dotes on me, it's just that Her Highness the Blossom Heart Big Radish did not pull away from Big Sister Shuang Hua, making her angry.

When he finished speaking, Shuang Hua fawningly took out a pearls from his bosom. He said that he wanted to see her off, and that half a month later, after the Southern Viewing Academy's Small Competition, her Highness would personally go to pick out some talents for Martial Academy.

In reality, the pearl hairpin was hollow and could be moved. Gu Mingyan carefully kept it in his bosom and nodded: "Alright, then we will meet again in half a month."

"Eldest Miss only needs to be at ease and happy, I'm afraid that Your Highness will have to travel far in the next half month, but the mansion's door will always be open for you."

When Shuang Hua said this, he looked coldly at the two servant girls beside him. "If any of the people beside the young miss go overboard, Shuang Hua will naturally send Wei Bai to personally teach them to you, so that the young miss will not suffer even the slightest bit of grievance."

"Thank you, Sister Shuang Hua!"

Oh my god, Sister Shuang Hua is so beautiful, the look in her eyes just now was really cool!

Being stared at by the burning gaze of the young miss, Shuang Hua left uneasily.
