Even though Gu Xi is not of the Hou family's blood, she was raised by the Hou family, and with her intelligence and the property in her hands, she has many prospects.

The best thing at the moment is to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and try to make the Fourth Prince sit on the throne and reach the sky in one step!

Therefore, no matter what the old lady's look meant, Madam Hou took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said directly to Madam Xie,

"I don't agree. Although Xi'er is not my biological child, she was raised by me. I will definitely not let her be my concubine."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she actually smiled, "It is said that it is better to cultivate kindness than to show kindness. Seeing that Madam loves Gu Xi so much, it is true.

However, madam, don’t refuse in a hurry, listen to my conditions first.

Although we want to take Gu Xi as our concubine, we should consider that she is the adopted daughter of the Hou family, has both talents and talents, and is famous far and wide.

This concubine is also a noble concubine. We will give her a betrothal gift and a large sedan chair, but I won’t entertain guests.

Moreover, as long as Gu Xi can restrain my son and encourage him to make progress after he joins the family, then the relationship between our two families will be that of in-laws, and we can help each other.

In the future, when Gu Xi gives birth to a child, we will treat her as an equal wife, how about that?"

After Mrs. Xie finished speaking, the old lady's ugly expression eased, and she even began to think about whether this was a good deal.

Being able to become an in-law with the Xie family is naturally a high priority for them. General Xie is the emperor's uncle who relies on him, and he holds great power. This relationship alone is enough to make their hearts flutter.

If General Xie is really willing to help, maybe her son Zhongyihou can take a step further and become Minister of the Ministry of War.

And although being a concubine to the prince may help you secure a better future, once you fail to seize the heir, you will be implicated, and it is also very dangerous.

It’s better to take refuge with General Xie!

After all, no matter which prince ascends the throne, General Xie will be his future uncle, and his seniority and prestige will be even higher.

"I heard that your young master was in trouble a few days ago. Is he really fine now?" The old lady was moved, so she asked tentatively.

If you can't be humane, how can you leave an heir? The value of marrying Gu Xi is not great.

"My son is naturally fine!" Mrs. Xie's face turned cold and she said displeasedly.

She naturally knows about the rumors outside, and this also hurts Mrs. Xie. However, as her son said, maybe Gu Xi can really cure her son and let him have an heir.

Therefore, Gu Xi must be his son’s concubine.

"Do you have proof for the conditions Madam just mentioned?" the old lady asked again.

Mrs. Hou suddenly turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect that she actually agreed.

Then Xie Hongbao is not a good man at all!

After hearing what Mrs. Xie said, she just wanted to spit her out. She couldn't take care of her son, but she actually wanted Xi'er to help her educate her son. It was really funny!

"If the old lady wants to be more secure, I can write a certificate." Madam Xie smiled and directly concluded that she agreed to Gu Xi becoming her son's concubine, and then said,

"My son has been in poor health recently, so why not let Gu Xi come into the house to take care of him as soon as possible, and we will come to carry him out in three days."

"Mrs. Xie, we haven't agreed yet!" Mrs. Hou shouted with a sullen face.

Gu Rong, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard her mother stop her. She clenched her hands angrily and her eyes widened.

Mother still loves Gu Xi very much. No wonder her mother became dissatisfied with Gu Xi as soon as she came back.

No, she must facilitate Gu Xi’s becoming a concubine.

Gu Rong gritted her teeth and turned around to find her father. She felt that with her father's profit-seeking temperament, he would not be willing to give up the opportunity to have a relationship with General Xie.

When Mrs. Xie heard Mrs. Hou's objection, she didn't take it seriously.

"Madam, you love your daughter so much that you cannot accept your naturally charming daughter as your concubine. I can understand that.

However, after all, Gu Xi is not of the Hou family’s bloodline. She is of low origin and is destined to marry someone you don’t want. Why don’t you think about the Hou family.

That is to say, my son fell in love with Gu Xi, and she had to do it, otherwise I would not have sacrificed my face to come and make peace in person, and show such sincerity.

If you are really so ignorant, Gu Xi will eventually become my son's concubine, but the conditions will not be so good."

When Mrs. Hou heard the last threatening words, her face turned red with anger, she stood up from the chair suddenly, and was about to say goodbye.

"Sit down!" The old lady glared at Madam Hou fiercely, "I'm still here, and you can't make the decision on Xi'er's marriage."

"Mom, we just removed Xi'er from the clan. To put it bluntly, we even canceled her household registration and have no control over her marriage."

Mrs. Hou spoke and gave her mother-in-law a subtle wink.

She prefers the Fourth Prince!

Being the concubine of the Fourth Prince, she also had a bright face, but what about Xie Hongbao?

She was too embarrassed to go out to attend the banquet. She would have to bear the bad reputation of being a prostitute for glory!

Mrs. Xie was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked at the old lady and the others in surprise, "Since you can't tolerate her so much, it would be a good idea to be my son's concubine."

"Who says it can't be done! The Hou family has raised her for fifteen years in vain! I asked her to be a concubine for the Xie family, I think she dares to say no!"

The old lady slapped the table and said, thinking she was very majestic.

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Just now you asked Gu Xi to come over, but she refused, let alone being a concubine.

Do you think you are still Gu Xi’s biological grandmother!

Even if it is a kiss, Gu Xi is not something you can control. If you are not kind, she will dare to be unfilial.

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she nodded secretly, feeling that she was stable this time.

"Since mother is so sure that Gu Xi will agree, let's call her over and ask.

My daughter-in-law is really worried that if we piss her off and she resorts to tricks to make those businesses cut off the goods in our shop, then our family will have to pay for it."

Seeing that her efforts to stop her were useless, Mrs. Hou left the matter to Gu Xi to handle. She just mentioned the old lady in her words, saying that the financial power of our family is in Gu Xi's hands.

The old lady understood, but she was also very angry.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Those merchants are doing business with her because of the reputation of our Hou family. She is not as powerful as a hairpin girl. What's more, she is not the eldest daughter of our Hou family now!

You reminded me that Gu Xi can take back the shops she owns. How can she, an adopted daughter, control so many shops?"

"Mom is very capable. Go talk to those merchants yourself. My wife doesn't have that ability."

Mrs. Hou lowered her head, looking like she couldn't do it.

When the old lady heard this, she almost lost her temper and lost her face!

Mrs. Xie is still watching.

Mrs. Xie was not surprised when she listened to the conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It had been spread all over the world.
