"What did you say?!"
Su Xiaoning was furious and grabbed the little beggar who was spreading the news.
The little beggar looked timid and bewildered, wondering why the woman in front of him had become so angry after hearing the news.
"Sister, please don't hit me! I only overheard this news. I don't know who Su Qingcai is, I only know that Master Gu said he found a son-in-law, and Miss Gu likes him very much, so he simply arranged a marriage for them..."
"I'm sorry." Su Xiaoning suppressed her anger, let go of the little beggar's hand and apologized, then secretly slipped away to the vicinity of the Gu residence.
As expected, the rumors circulating these days were true. The entire Gu residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and even the plaque at the entrance was covered with a layer of red silk, indicating that a happy event was indeed approaching.
But how could Su Qingcai be willing to marry Gu Zeyin? Even if you beat Su Xiaoning to death, she would never believe it!
But if this is true...
"Su Qingcai, if you really dare to marry her, I will definitely come and take you away..."
Su Xiaoning looked gloomy as she stared at the gate of the Gu residence and muttered to herself.
She wasn't sure what her ambiguous feelings for Su Qingcai really meant. When Gu Zeyin came to tell her about sharing a husband, she was horrified. But she clearly felt the heartache and resentment she felt at that moment.
She will not let Su Qingcai and Gu Zeyin actually get married, even if it means stealing the bride, she will ruin it!
...
Three days later.
Finally, news of Su Qingcai and Gu Zeyin's marriage arrived from the Gu residence. The entire Gu residence was submerged in a sea of red, with gongs and drums beating and the atmosphere incredibly lively.
Su Xiaoning completely snapped. Ignoring the danger, she sneaked into the Gu residence and headed straight for the wedding hall.
—In the main hall of the Gu residence.
According to the customs of Ye City, both the bride and groom must wear veils before they can perform the wedding ceremony. The maids of the Gu family assisted and guided the two, who were dressed in bright red wedding attire, throughout the ceremony.
The first and second bows were completed, and a kind smile appeared on Father Gu's face. He was just waiting for the third bow to be completed so that he could grant his daughter's wish.
"Three bows to the parents—"
The bride and groom slowly turned around, about to bow to each other. Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a bang, and a woman rushed into the hall like the wind. She snatched the drinks from the table and threw a bunch of glasses at the feet of the newlyweds.
"I disagree!"
The wine glass shattered on the floor with a "crash," and the groom seemed to see the broken pieces of porcelain at his feet through his veil. He paused, as if letting out a sigh.
Unexpectedly, Gu's father was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with rage. Upon seeing that the person in question was Su Xiaoning, he slammed his fist on the table and rose to his feet, sneering repeatedly.
"I let you go last time, but you dare to come again! Perfect, I'll use your blood as my daughter's wedding gift!"
"Pah! I didn't come here for you!" Su Xiaoning spat, grabbed the groom, and tried to run away, but to her surprise, the groom froze on the spot and showed no intention of leaving with her.
Su Xiaoning trembled, and suddenly felt an urge to cry.
"You...you really want to marry Miss Gu, that's why you don't want to come with me?"
The groom did not speak.
The situation was urgent, and Su Xiaoning bit her lip, looking at him with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
"You weren't like this before. Didn't you have no feelings for Ruxing at all? How come you've taken a liking to Gu Zeyin in just these few days? Have you forgotten that the villagers of Liyu Village wanted us to get married? You didn't refuse then, and Aunt Xu even laid out the wedding quilt and lit the wedding candles for us. We've been in the same room, so that counts as a marriage, right? Don't you want to admit it today?"
"There are some things I really don't want to say and can't say, but I want to make everything clear to you today. I don't know if I've really fallen for you, but I... I don't want you to marry someone else!"
Ignoring everything else, Su Xiaoning made a heartfelt confession, hoping to win over the person she cared about most.
Unexpectedly, the groom still didn't react at all, just like a wooden figure.
Su Xiaoning was so anxious that she lifted the veil and was about to yell at him, but she was stunned when she saw Qinglang's face.
The groom is clearly Ding Yi!
Su Xiaoning was shocked and pointed at Ding Yi, repeatedly saying "you." She never expected that the groom had been switched!
"I'll explain this to you later." Ding Yi gave a wry smile. He had been stunned because he was taken aback by a confession, but the situation was really not suitable for a conversation.
Ding grabbed Su Xiaoning and ran out, while Gu's father, equally shocked by the scene, turned ashen-faced and chased after them.
"father!"
Gu Zeyin abruptly lifted her veil. Seeing that her father was still determined to chase after Su Xiaoning, she panicked and simply lifted her skirt and stumbled after him.
...
Ding Yi dragged Su Xiaoning along for a long time, but Su Xiaoning forcefully shook off his hands, shook her head, and shouted, "Give me an explanation for what happened today!"
"Can't you see that..." Ding Yi sighed softly, "Young Master was injured and captured by that thief. The thief even forced him to marry Miss Gu. Fortunately, Miss Gu is a reasonable person. She agreed to it first and helped Young Master escape. I stayed behind to marry her to cover up the truth."
"Gu Zeyin actually..."
Su Xiaoning's eyes widened, but then she suddenly understood.
It seems her words to Gu Zeyin earlier worked. Su Qingcai has feelings for her, so Gu Zeyin definitely doesn't pursue "one love for one lifetime." It's better to just help Su Qingcai escape so she can find a good partner later...
