Chapter 701 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (22)
Gu Yuxi stroked the wedding dress she had embroidered herself. The Gu family's eldest daughter's marriage was a fact, and it all depended on whether Gu Shanhu could make it happen.
A few days later, the night was dark and windy!
"How did things go?"
"Sister, you are still worried about my sister's work, but something happened in the second room a few days ago, and I am afraid that Gu Yuxi will not go out tomorrow."
"Father has already resolved the matter. The divorced man has returned to his hometown, but we are being laughed at. Aunt Ning has been left out in the cold. The mistress has finally been able to hold her head high for once after all these years."
"I miss my mother too. Please take good care of her. When the Wen family is rehabilitated, you will definitely benefit from it."
"Sister, I believe you, but I can't marry a man who has a homosexual relationship with me in this life. Otherwise, I will be laughed at to death."
"That man is a centurion after all. His father once did a favor to our father. Now that he has found our father, this marriage is not a bad deal."
"I don't want it. I've seen that man before. He's very vicious. He picked up Gu Yuxi's lover by one hand and threw her into the river right in front of Gu Yuxi. He did the same with the woman."
“Is there a misunderstanding here?”
"Even if it's a misunderstanding, I won't marry you. You hate Gu Yuxi, and so do I. If I marry her to that reckless man, and the cripple in the dyeing workshop doesn't care, then we..."
Gu Fenghuan said in a gentle tone: "In this case, I will help you even if I have to poke a hole in the sky."
"Sister is so kind."
"Go back and wait for my good news tomorrow."
After Gu Shanhu left, Gu Fenghuan returned to her sour and sarcastic face. She felt very relieved when she thought that Gu Yuxi was about to marry a man who worked in Qingfengxuan and would become a widow in half a year. She would have gotten most of the secret recipes of the dyeing workshop.
“Good sister, you have had such a good life these years. It’s wishful thinking that you want to marry into the Su family.”
Before dawn the next day, a small courtyard in the Gu family's main house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.
"Master Gu, congratulations."
"It's a poor reception, it's a poor reception."
"This son-in-law is definitely one of the best. Fortunately, it's not a big wedding, so the dowry is a bit modest."
Because the main branch of the Gu family had been struggling in recent years, and they were only marrying off a concubine's daughter, not many people came to congratulate them.
Many people now wish they could stay away from the Gu family to avoid the scandal that happened a few days ago.
"Xier, we have cut off all ties with that side. If you still go to celebrate, it would be inappropriate." Yang was worried.
"Mom, my brother Xin is away studying, and my grandfather is busy in the herbal medicine field. You are rushing to get the orders. After all, there is a connection between them and our family. Shanhu has been very nice to us recently. She is getting married, and it would be bad if I didn't go."
"Hey, Shanhu is also a miserable person. Her mother died early, and it must be hard for her to live under someone else's roof."
"Then I'm leaving." Gu Yuxi shook her mother's hand playfully, feeling a little sorry for her.
But she came here for a mission, and the target of the mission was married to Gu Shanhu.
Now Gu Shanhu was planning to elope with the scholar, and she also planned to use someone else's power as a substitute and wait for her cheap husband to die in the battlefield and then live out her life as a idler. They hit it off immediately.
Gu Yuxi went in through a side door while it was still dark. A maid had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Sister Xi, you are here. Our young lady was just wondering why you didn't come."
"How can I not come to my sister's wedding?"
Following the maid to Gu Shanhu's boudoir, Gu Yuxi saw her pacing back and forth. She untied her veil and said with a smile, "Sister, you will be married soon, but are you nervous?"
"Don't laugh at me, sis. This is my first time, so of course I'm nervous."
Gu Yuxi sat down and Gu Shanhu handed her a cup of tea, but she didn't drink it and just stared at him.
Gu Shanhu couldn't hold the teacup steadily, and her hands couldn't help shaking. She forced a smile and said, "Sister, I don't have any relatives in this mansion. You are as close to me as my own sister. Today I am getting married, and I also want to thank you for taking care of me over the years."
"Thank you for being so thoughtful. I'll drink your cup of tea."
"Sister, drink it quickly. If you don't, it means you despise your sister for marrying into that desolate mountain and you don't want to move around anymore."
"No matter where you marry, I, as your elder sister, will visit you."
Seeing Gu Yuxi drink the cup of tea, Gu Shanhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Coral, I feel dizzy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to put makeup on you." The woman said coquettishly with slightly red cheeks.
"Sister, you are wrong. This is tea, not wine."
"Let sister take it easy."
In less than a moment, Gu Shanhu reached out and shook the unconscious woman, then let out a long sigh.
"Big sister!" she called softly.
Gu Fenghuan poked her head in and saw Gu Yuxi fainted on the table. The smile in her eyes deepened. She came out, poured a cup of tea, put a packet of medicine powder into the tea, and forced it into Gu Yuxi's mouth.
"Sister, what is this?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Change your clothes quickly. Your sweetheart is already waiting at the corner. If you hesitate any longer, you won't be able to leave."
Gu Shanhu took off her wedding dress, changed into Gu Yuxi's clothes, and finally put on Gu Yuxi's veil hat.
"I'll trouble you, sister, next."
Gu Shanhu knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Fenghuan.
"Go quickly, this is your choice, don't regret it later."
"I have absolutely no regrets."
Gu Shanhu ran out of the door in a few steps quickly, but almost bumped into Aunt Ning at the side door.
"Who is it, you are so fussy?"
"Master, it seems to be the one in mourning at the dyeing workshop. I just saw him."
"Oh, what do you mean by breaking off relations? You are still clinging to us as usual. You are not presentable enough."
"That's what you said."
"Is the master still angry with me?"
"Master, let's come back in a few days. Although today is the day for the concubine's daughter to get married, the master is also busy."
"Then let's do as you say. The wedding procession is shabby, with only one sedan chair, which must have been rented. It's so difficult for a daughter born out of wedlock. Fortunately, the master is kind and doesn't let my daughter marry into a poor family?"
Seeing the head of the family coming, the master and servant immediately hid in the dark because the house arrest had not yet been lifted.
"Shanhu, don't blame your father. That man seems to have a promising future. He is now a centurion and he can get a position in the army in the future. It is better than marrying a merchant."
"Although you lost your mother at a young age, I treat you like my own daughter. It is better to marry the centurion than a farmer. This marriage must be fulfilled. Shanhu, you must be sensible."
The bride didn't answer, and the man didn't blame her. Instead, he signaled the servant to send the person out.
The maid said nothing. She only saw several servants helping a woman in red out of the side door, and then an old slave poured a basin of water on the ground at the side door.
Once a daughter is married off, she is like water spilled. I guess the master is also worried about the young lady's future situation.
"Don't look at it. Come back tomorrow."
When the bride got into the sedan chair, there was only a pair of suonas playing, which was quite desolate. After the sedan chair was put on the boat, the joyous sounds gradually sank into the river.
