After Gu's parents entered the house, they chatted very familiarly with Jiang Huaizhi.

Gu Jiangli carried the soup bowl to the door. As soon as she stopped, she heard the passing maids chatting.

"I heard that the Second Young Master's marriage to Miss Sun has been arranged, and he will be marrying Miss Sun on the first day of next month. The City Lord's Mansion is suddenly going to have two happy events."

"Wasn't it said that Miss Sun was devoted to the eldest young master? How could she marry the second young master?"

"I'm not sure about that. It was the city lord who personally wrote the betrothal letter and went to the Sun family to propose marriage. The second young master didn't object, probably because of the eldest young master of the Sun family. Isn't that young master Sun Bai on good terms with the second young master?"

"That's possible. In that case, the relationship between the Sun family and our city lord's mansion would become even closer."

The two maids walked away.

Gu Jiangli held the soup bowl without making a move for a long time.

Sun Chan eventually married Jiang Huaisong.

However, unlike last time, this time Sun Chan married into the family as Jiang Huaisong's legal wife.

In other words, she sat in the same spot she had been in last time.

Gu Jiangli shook her head and sighed. Sun Chan had entered the City Lord's Mansion, and she would inevitably have to deal with her again. Knowing Sun Chan as she did, she knew there would be no shortage of bloodshed in the future.

June 1st.

The city lord's mansion was bustling with activity, with several red lanterns hanging outside the gate.

The joyous sound of suona horns resounded throughout the city.

Everyone knows that today is the day the two young masters of the City Lord's Mansion are going to their weddings together.

Two carriages stopped at the same time in front of the city lord's mansion.

Gu Jiangli, dressed in a red wedding gown, alighted from the carriage at the same time as Sun Chan.

As soon as they got out of the car, their eyes met.

Sun Chan glanced at her from head to toe, and a strong sense of jealousy immediately arose within her.

Gu Jiangli's wedding dress was prepared by Jiang Huaizhi himself.

The fabric used was the most precious Xiangyun yarn, and a huge phoenix was embroidered in gold thread at the hem. It took fifteen embroidery workshop women twenty days to complete this wedding dress.

At a glance, one can tell that this garment is incredibly luxurious.

The phoenix crown adorned with dazzling pearls and jade on her head was exceptionally bright. The pearl at the very center was as warm and lustrous as jade and as delicate as cream, and it was the only one of its kind in Qingfeng City.

Compared to her, Sun Chan's plain red wedding dress and phoenix crown paled in comparison.

Sun Chan clenched her fists tightly beneath the red veil, glancing away resentfully.

Gu Jiangli stepped into the city lord's mansion first.

Gu Jiangli followed closely behind.

She hadn't taken two steps when a gentle, jade-like hand was extended in front of her.

Through the beaded curtain in front of her, she saw a face with a gentle smile and unparalleled handsomeness.

"The wedding dress is a bit heavy, let me hold your hand."

Gu Jiangli nodded and placed her hand in his palm.

The warmth spread through her palms, bringing her a sense of peace.

Jiang Huai's meticulous attention to detail drew envy from others.

Sun Chan was led into the main hall by her maid. She glanced sideways at Gu Jiangli, her eyes practically spitting fire.

She gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Gu Jiangli knew what expression she had and what she was resentful about, but she didn't give her a single extra glance.

This is her wedding with Jiang Huaizhi; she doesn't need to care about anything else.

Naturally, there was no need to care about Jiang Huaisong's resentful gaze.

Jiang Huaisong was also one of the protagonists of the wedding.

But his eyes never looked at his wife; instead, they were fixed on Gu Jiangli.

The thought that such a beautiful woman was now his brother's wife filled him with hatred.

I thought she was just saying things in anger that day, but I never expected it to become real!

Jiang Huaisong gritted his teeth, and seeing Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi's hands clasped tightly, his throat felt like it was filled with a huge rock, causing him great pain!

When exactly did it start?

When exactly did these two start flirting?!

"The auspicious time has arrived, let's pay our respects!"

The emcee announced loudly, interrupting his thoughts.

Sun Chan's clenched fist was handed to him by a maid, indicating that he should hold the bride's hand to complete the ceremony.

Sun Chan was originally a beautiful and petite woman, but in front of Gu Jiangli, her beauty suddenly became dull and lackluster.

Reluctantly, he wrapped his fist in his hand and began to kowtow and pay his respects as instructed by the master of ceremonies.

Amidst everyone's congratulations, Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi completed their wedding ceremony.

Once the nuptial wine is drunk, the ceremony is officially complete.

After nightfall, Jiang Huaizhi entered her room, reeking of alcohol.

Gu Jiangli frowned slightly: "Huaizhi, you're not well yet, you shouldn't drink alcohol. Didn't the city lord and his wife advise you against it?"

Jiang Huaizhi paused as he removed the phoenix crown from her, his expression becoming somewhat detached.

As far as I can remember, it seems like no one has said such words of advice to him for many years.

He chuckled softly and removed the phoenix crown from Gu Jiangli's head: "Don't worry, I didn't drink it. It was the smell of their alcohol that got on me."

"That's good. Once you're fully recovered, you can try my family's Daughter's Red wine. My parents buried two large jars under a tree the year I was born, saying that when I got married, I could take the wine out and drink it with my husband."

Jiang Huai's gentleness almost overflowed from his eyes.

"Okay, I will definitely take good care of my health. You've worked hard today, go to sleep."

Those eyes, as bright as precious jade, shone brilliantly.

Gu Jiangli naturally understood the meaning behind his words.
