Someone slapped their thigh and clicked their tongue, exclaiming, "My goodness! Such a luxurious and grand bridal sedan chair... it's truly a perfect match for Grand Secretary Gu and Miss Xie!"

Xie Yu had seen the two bridal sedan chairs early on, and his feelings were extremely complicated.

Gu Shaoyu treated Xie Zhaozhao well, which made him very happy, but his delicate and sweet younger sister suddenly got married, as if a treasure had been taken away.

Xie Tingting and Xie Jin also slipped out to watch the excitement.

Looking at her older sister's bridal sedan chair, and then at Xie Zhaozhao's bridal sedan chair, she felt a surge of bitterness.

"Sister, you don't know, Grand Secretary Gu went too far. His bridal sedan chair was far too extravagant and luxurious. He did it on purpose."

"Sis, your hat is so shabby."

"Sister, Prince Gu seems quite happy, chatting and laughing."

...

"Shut up!"

Xie Xiangxiang tossed the "peace apple" she had prepared on the table out the door with a "whoosh," her hands clasped together, ruining her makeup once again.

"Why, why?" she cursed Xie Zhaozhao fiercely for her malicious intentions.

Thinking about how the Crown Prince would ascend the throne and Grand Secretary Gu would no longer be relevant, and how Gu Chengyan would rise to the highest ranks of the court and become a Duke, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and sneered, "What's there to be so smug about? The one who laughs last laughs best!"

Madam Xu also went to see the bridal sedan chair, and her jealousy was overturned.

Xie Xiangxiang was her first daughter, and she naturally hoped that her daughter would always be superior to Xie Zhaozhao.

However, after more than a decade of pursuit and interception, they still couldn't outdo each other!

The dowry couldn't compare, and even the bridal sedan chair couldn't compare!

She hated Xie Zhaozhao, hated Xie Yu, hated the old lady, and hated Xie Anfeng even more.

They are both daughters, so why is one treated differently?

But she couldn't bring herself to say it, and Xie Anfeng didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

The government didn't give Xie Zhaozhao much of her dowry; it was all handled by Madam Xu herself!

As for the bridal sedan chair, that was prepared by Gu Shaoyu. What could she possibly complain about? Was she going to go and fight with Madam Tu?

I want to complain a bit about Xie Xiangxiang. Why didn't she marry into the Prince Jing's family? Why did she have to marry into a Marquis's family?

But what's the point of saying all this now!

Xie Yu carried Xie Zhaozhao steadily out of the Xie residence, constantly reminding her to send him a message if she encountered any difficulties.

Her brother was just as reluctant to part as he was in their past life. Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were red as she choked out, "Brother, don't worry, Zhaozhao will be fine."

Xie Yu carried his younger sister out of the mansion. Gu Shaoyu had already dismounted and came to greet them, helping Xie Zhaozhao into the bridal sedan chair with her feet barely touching the ground.

Through the veil, Xie Zhaozhao heard him solemnly say to Xie Yu, "Brother, rest assured, in this life, if I betray Zhaozhao, may I be punished by both gods and men."

Xie Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I trust the Grand Secretary."

Xie Jin swayed as she carried Xie Xiangxiang onto the bridal sedan chair, rushing all the way, afraid that if she was too slow, her sister would fall off.

Xie Xiangxiang was so angry that she hugged his neck tightly and scolded him for being useless and not being able to walk steadily.

Music begins, and the bridal sedan chair is lifted.

The two sisters left the Xie family mansion and became Gu family wives.

The Xie family set up four kinds of wedding candies and money at the entrance, and many winnowing baskets were lined up on both sides of the street. The servants scattered candies and money while saying auspicious words.

Children scrambled for wedding candy, and adults grabbed for wedding money; everyone marveled at how much the Xie family doted on their daughter.

The locals were even more excited than the groom, following the bridal sedan chair to grab wedding candy.

Guan Yingying also hid in the crowd to watch.

Today is Gu Chengyan's wedding day. Gu Chengyan didn't hide it from her. Originally, she wanted to be nonchalant and not care, but she couldn't help herself.

She still put on makeup and came to see it.

Gu Chengyan rode a tall horse, his red wedding robes accentuating his handsome and refined appearance. His smile, though faint, was warm and charming, like a gentle spring breeze.

Behind him was a large red sedan chair carried by eight men.

Is that Miss Xie Er in the bridal sedan chair, dressed in a bright red wedding gown?

Guan Yingying felt a pang of sadness in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.

Was Gu Chengyan truly only going to fetch and marry Miss Xie for her dowry?

He really won't love her?

Miss Xie was his lawfully wedded wife, while he himself had always been like a mouse that never saw the light of day, without even a pair of red candles.

At this moment, Guan Yingying felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and for the first time questioned: Did I encounter a scumbag from ancient times?

The crowd shoving for wedding candy pushed her aside, and someone shouted, "Miss Xie's sedan chair is about to arrive, don't push, wait to grab Miss Xie's wedding candy and money."

A glimmer of hope rose in Guan Yingying's heart; she hoped that Miss Xie would surpass Miss Xie's status.

Before long, the drums and music grew louder, and another newlywed couple arrived.

On the tall, red horse rode a man who seemed like a god. How could one describe him as merely handsome? He possessed an inviolable, sacred nobility.

Having grown accustomed to Gu Chengyan's gentleness, seeing this man in the same bright red wedding attire, which accentuated his tall and slender figure, revealed an innate unapproachability amidst his handsome appearance.

His imposing presence was unmatched, even by the Crown Prince.

"May we be bound by a lifelong bond, and grow old together in harmony!"

May your love be harmonious and last a hundred years!

"Like mandarin ducks flying wing to wing, their branches intertwined!"

People went crazy, calling out to the Grand Secretary and offering their blessings. Gu Shaoyu was overjoyed, clasped his hands in thanks, and his servants showered him with lucky money, making the crowd even more frenzied.

Guan Yingying stared blankly as he slowly walked towards her from a distance, and then saw the extremely luxurious bridal sedan chair behind him.

What an amazing bridal sedan chair!

Even with over a thousand years of later civilization and having seen so much modern technology, she still had to admit that this sedan chair was unparalleled even after a thousand years.

But here is Miss Xie, the woman who stepped off the bus on a human stool.

"Pah!" she spat out angrily.

Gu Shaoyu quickly looked over.

Guan Yingying quickly lowered her head, squatted down, and pretended to pull at the hem of her clothes, sweating profusely.

This person is so quick-witted!

After the bridal sedan chairs passed by, Guan Yingying realized why Xie Xiangxiang's sedan chair was in front and Xie Zhaozhao's sedan chair was behind. It turned out that two armored squads were following behind Xie Zhaozhao's sedan chair.

She grabbed a young man who was snatching four-colored candies and asked, "Hey sir, what are these people doing?"

"Them? They are Miss Xie's dowry."

"Oh, there are dowry attendants too?"

"No one else has it, but Miss Xie does. She brought her own private army with her when she got married!" The young man said with inexplicable pride. "Miss Xie is a kind person. To be her private army is a blessing earned over many lifetimes."

Guan Yingying was so angry she could grind her teeth. They were both born of the same parents, so why was Xie Zhaozhao so high and mighty?

The bridal sedan chair arrived at the Marquis's residence amidst music and fanfare. Logically, Xie Zhaozhao should have entered first.

However, Xie Xiangxiang wanted to be the first to use the auspicious time.

She went out first to be the first one there; otherwise, Xie Zhaozhao would have already gone through all the procedures.

Unexpectedly, when her bridal sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Marquis's mansion, a shrill voice called out, "Please, bride, come in."

Xie Xiangxiang's bridal sedan chair pulled over to the side of the door to make way for Xie Zhaozhao.

Her anger was at its peak, and she roared through the sedan curtain, "Who is it?"

Xiangxing whispered, "Miss, it's the head of the flower department in the palace."
