She just used the favorability card for Gu Xi, but Gu Xi was in so much pain that he didn't look like he was pretending. Gu Rong was really confused.

The favorability card has expired? Has it turned into a headache card?

Gu Xi also guessed that Gu Rong had probably exerted control over her. After she sat down, she endured her headache and took out the porcelain bottle containing Naoqing pills, poured out one pill and drank it.

In an instant, the headache was relieved. Although there was still some swelling and pain, it was bearable.

"You want to control me?" Gu Xi looked at Gu Rong, her eyes narrowed slightly and her voice was unkind.

This is the first time Gu Xi shows his fierce side.

Gu Rong was shocked, not only because of Gu Xi's aura, but also because of Gu Xi's words.

She, she actually knows?!

How is this possible!

Gu Rong was confused, panicked, and scared, but she still had some sense and began to deny Sanlian.

"No, I didn't, I'm not, you, what nonsense are you talking about, what kind of control, I don't understand.

Big sister, please let your maid let go of me. My arm hurts so much, wuwuwu... I am here to apologize to big sister on behalf of my father and grandmother..."

Hearing this, Feicui was also shocked. Did the eldest lady actually know about the young lady's strange methods?

This, this is a bit scary!

"Dongzhi, let go of her first." Gu Xi motioned Dongzhi to let go.

Dongzhi let go of her hand, but she was still by Gu Rong's side, staring at Gu Rong warily to prevent her from doing anything else.

Gu Rong rubbed her painful arm. She was so confused that she didn't dare to speak immediately.

"You said there's no need to apologize." Gu Xi rubbed his swollen head and said lazily,

"I would like to advise you that the affairs between the Marquis Mansion and the capital are very complicated. It would be best if you just come here and join in.

After all, you are also the daughter raised by my biological parents. If you give them face, I will treat you well.

Why don't you tell me about my parents, who else is in the family, what their temperaments are, and what they like, so that I can know what gifts to prepare when I go back to them.

You fainted when I talked about this in the academy last time. You can't faint again this time."

When Gu Rong heard Gu Xi's words, she felt on pins and needles and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

She really regrets coming here now!

Moreover, she is not sure whether her favorability card has taken effect or not.

Gu Xi's attitude toward her seems to have improved, and her words are quite pleasing to the ear, and they seem to be taking effect.

But Gu Xi has a cunning temperament and is very good at talking, but she can't be sure.

"Why don't you speak? Shouldn't you be the most familiar with my parents? Are you unwilling to tell me such a simple thing?"

Gu Xi urged.

"Ahem, eldest sister, you may not know that I fell ill before I came here. I forgot many things. I can't remember anything about my parents. I really can't help you."

Gu Rong looked embarrassed, her voice was low, and she looked pitiful.

"Don't remember?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, "You remember how to play the piano and how to compose poetry, but you don't remember my parents? How strange."

Gu Rong tried hard to maintain an innocent smile, even though she was panicking to death and her face was stiff.

"You seem to be quite likable. I heard that Mrs. Lu fell in love with you as soon as she saw you. She was so fond of you that she wished you could recognize her as your goddaughter immediately. I also heard that Princess Rubao has been turned into a friend by you.

And you also care about whether others like you? Being liked by others seems to bring you a lot of benefits."

Gu Xi didn't seem to notice Gu Rong's discomfort and continued to talk casually.

When Gu Rong heard this, her whole body froze, and her eyes flashed with horror. She looked at Gu Xi in disbelief, her eyes wide and round.

"Oh, judging from your reaction, I guessed it right." Gu Xi smiled, lazily with a hint of success.

She was just giving it a try. This Gu Rong had no scheming at all. She was so unlike her in the dream.

Gu Rong, "..."

Ah ah ah, this Gu Xi must be a devil!

"I, I don't know what you are talking about! I, I'm leaving first! Sister, you can take care of yourself!" Gu Rong said and ran outside.

Dongzhi wanted to stop her, but Gu Xi shook her head, "Let her go."

No amount of fraud can be deceived.

Moreover, if I continue to ask questions, the frightening effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is gone.

I wonder if Gu Rong will dare to control her next time after being frightened like this.

Gu Xi's face turned gloomy when he thought of what he had just felt. At the same time, he was confused and asked the system why he had a headache.

[The bewitchment she uses on you will hurt your soul, and your soul is already damaged, so you react violently]

Gu Xi hurriedly asked, "What does it feel like for other people to be controlled? Will their souls be damaged if they are controlled?"

[I don’t feel anything, just a little dazed. The deeper you are controlled, the deeper your soul is invaded. When you break free from control, the soul will be seriously damaged. However, with Naoqing Pills, these are not a problem]

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Naoqing pills were so important, she had to quickly collect medicinal materials and make some.

-

The other side.

When Zhongyihou returned to the room, he saw Mrs. Hou lying on the bed, with her back facing outward and facing inward. Thinking of the scene where he had just scolded her and locked her up, he couldn't speak for a while.

He regretted that if he had known better, he would have listened to his wife and he would not have gotten into this situation.

Mrs. Hou naturally heard the noise, but she was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Madam, I was wrong."

Zhongyihou came to the bedside. His hands holding on to the bedpost tightened and loosened, then loosened and tightened again. After struggling for a while, he finally spoke.

"Master Hou said something serious, why are you wrong?" Mrs. Hou didn't move, she just said.

"Madam, please stop mocking me here. Alas, something big has happened! If it doesn't work, we won't even be able to save the Marquis Mansion!"

Zhongyi sighed.

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she turned over in fright and quickly got up, frowning and asked,

"Master, what happened?"

Marquis Zhongyi told him exactly what happened before and after he entered the palace, and at the end he couldn't help complaining,

"You have been objecting. Did you know that there would be Prince An and others asking for marriage? Why didn't you say it directly? If you had said it, I would not agree to Mrs. Xie taking a concubine."

"The master blames me! I don't know either. I object because Xie Hongbao is not a good match. If you agree, you will harm Xi'er!

I also know that Xi'er is not a temperament that can be manipulated by others, and there will definitely be retaliation. Master, you are simply losing your mind and going crazy, that's why you treat Xi'er so carelessly!

You have raised her for fifteen years, don’t you still know what Xi’er is capable of..."

Mrs. Hou sarcastically sprayed Hou Zhongyi with a slap in the face.

What Mrs. Hou didn't say was that her objection to Gu Xi becoming Xie Hongbao's concubine was related to her own face issues.
