Chapter 134 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 11
Lady Wu Ji has passed away, and Gong Huan Yu and Gong Zi Yu are also required to observe mourning.
Therefore, Zheng Nanyi directly instructed the system to eliminate Lady Wuji, making it appear as if she had been killed by the Wufeng assassin, which also served as a reminder to the palace gates that there were still assassins among the Wufeng brides.
It's not that she can't take direct action, but she doesn't know the deadly method of killing.
Women's Guest House -
Zheng Nanyi sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside. A gentle breeze stirred her hair, making it flutter.
Looking at Zheng Nanyi, who was dressed rather thinly, Fu Dong said with concern, "Miss Zheng, be careful not to catch a cold."
"It's alright." Even so, Zheng Nanyi still got up and left the window. "I just saw the other brides being called away. Is there something they need to do?"
Fu Dong quickly closed the window, poured Zheng Nanyi a cup of hot tea to warm her up, and explained upon hearing this:
"The process involves having an artist draw a portrait, which is then sent to the town where the portrait is located to verify the artist's identity."
"Then why don't I need it?" Zheng Nanyi looked up at Fu Dong, her expression somewhat surprised.
Fu Dong: "Miss Zheng is joking. Young Master has already met Miss Zheng at the Hunyuan Zheng family. There is no need to verify."
Zheng Nanyi chuckled, as if she found her own idea amusing, "That's true."
"Young Master sent word that he will come to the Women's Courtyard to pick up Miss Zheng in a little while. I'll pack my luggage first." With that, Fu Dong started packing efficiently.
"Is it in such a hurry?" Zheng Nanyi thought she would wait for the brides to verify their identities before being taken to the Corner Palace.
"Among the brides to be chosen, there may be assassins without blades. Young Master, I am worried about your safety."
Zheng Nanyi asked, "What will happen to the remaining brides?"
"Although the direct line of the Four Palaces consists only of the young master, Young Master Huanyu, Young Master Ziyu, and Young Master Zheng, there are also eligible young men in the collateral branches who have not yet been married. After verifying their identities, they will arrange blind dates for them with young men from the collateral branches."
Fu Dong packed her luggage, and soon someone knocked on the door.
"Miss Zheng, the young master has come to fetch you to the Corner Palace."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Zheng Nanyi got up and walked towards the door, with Fu Dong following closely behind, carrying her bundle. She was also going back to Jiaogong together.
From upstairs, you can see the three people waiting in the courtyard: Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Gong Shangjiao's personal attendant, Jin Fu.
"Young Master, Young Master Zheng."
Just as Zheng Nanyi was about to bow, Gong Shangjiao stopped her with his hand.
"Although we are not married, we are still engaged, so there is no need for formalities. You can just call me Shangjiao."
Gong Yuanzheng, who had been scrutinizing Zheng Nanyi, said upon hearing Gong Shangjiao's words, "Just call me Yuanzheng, my little brother, like I do."
Although he didn't want a sister-in-law to compete with him for his brother's affections, he also knew the significance of Zheng Nanyi, the daughter-in-law arranged by Uncle Suijiao, to his brother.
Zheng Nanyi looked up at the two of them and softly called out, "Alright, Shangjiao, Yuanzheng brother."
Gong Shangjiao led the four of them toward Jiaogong. Upon arriving at Jiaogong, Gong Yuanzheng, Jin Fu, and Fu Dong tacitly left, leaving the two of them alone.
Gong Shangjiao led Zheng Nanyi to his room. The two sat facing each other at the table, and Gong Shangjiao began to brew tea.
“I have had two rooms prepared. One will be your private storeroom, where your dowry is kept. The other will be your temporary residence, right next to my bedroom.”
"Lady Mist Princess has passed away. Although she can only be considered my aunt, she was still Lady Blade-Holder."
"We can't hold the wedding for a while, so I'll have to make do with you living in the Corner Palace as my fiancée."
Zheng Nanyi smiled as she watched Gong Shangjiao intently brewing tea. "It's not a bad thing. It's indeed not appropriate to have a happy occasion right after a funeral."
