There were forty-eight loads of betrothal gifts, which was quite a lot. When Shangguan Yu came back, Shangguan Jinnian personally took care of most of them with Nanny Yuan and others.
"Brother, what does Feng Yanzhi want to talk to you about?"
"Humph, nothing good ever happens to Feng Yanzhi!"
Shangguan Jinnian frowned and pulled Shangguan Yu away. "What bad thing was that?"
"Feng Yanzhi asked my eldest brother to ruin the marriage between Rui'an and Feng Yulin. He didn't want Feng Yulin to get married or have children. He wanted him to live out his life in loneliness?"
"What? Why is he so vicious! Does he know that Gu Yunshu is my sister?"
"He probably doesn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have let me cause trouble. He really dares to let me be the villain..."
Shangguan Jinnian's eyes darkened. "Feng Yulin has a son, so he must be worried. He can't do anything openly, for fear that he will do something secretly."
"Don't worry, Li Lian has sent someone to secretly protect Sister Yunshu."
"That's not enough. I need to let my sister know Feng Yanzhi's intentions. I'm afraid he'll use the second branch of the Gu family to attack my sister..."
At night.
"Nanyin, you all go down and rest. I'm going to sleep."
"yes."
Not long after Gu Yunshu lay down, she heard light footsteps outside the window.
Gu Yunshu quickly pulled out the sword from under her pillow and stabbed at the dark shadow in the window.
"Sister! It's me."
Shangguan Jinnian was scared to death when he saw the sharp sword in front of him.
"Why is it you?"
Gu Yunshu retracted her sword, and Shangguan Jinnian swiftly climbed in through the window.
"Sister, you are so amazing! Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise you would have lost a cute and well-behaved brother."
Gu Yunshu glanced at Li Lian outside the courtyard and said, "How dare you say that? It's so late, and you're wearing all black to look for me. I'd be surprised if I didn't think you were a bad guy."
Gu Yunshu pulled him to sit at the table, poured him a cup of cold tea, and took out all the fruits and desserts from the box. "You must be frightened. Eat some fruits to calm your nerves."
"Thank you, sister. I came here after I had eaten my fill. The reason I came so late is because I have something urgent to tell you. Feng Yanzhi doesn't want you to get married with Feng Yulin, and he even asked my eldest brother to sabotage it..."
Gu Yunshu gnashed her teeth in hatred, this bastard!
She hadn't even sought revenge on him yet, but he was already starting to persecute his senior brother again, and was trying to separate her from him.
It was for the throne before, and it’s still for the throne this time!
"I know, I will make sure he doesn't succeed. It's getting late, so go back."
That night, Gu Yunshu sent more people to guard Gu's father's yard.
Emperor Qianyuan didn't want her to marry his senior brother, and the only person who could do it was Father Gu.
When Gu's father passed away, Emperor Qianyuan would have an excuse to prevent her from getting married during the mourning period. In this case, she would have to observe mourning for three years.
She must not let Father Gu get into any trouble.
"Nanyin, before the Crown Princess comes to see the Patriarch, keep a close eye on the Second Branch. During this time, try to get hold of something that might be used against them so that they can be separated!"
Nan Yin had been looking forward to this for a long time. The second house should have been separated long ago. "Okay, Miss."
Gu Yunshu returned to her room and lay down, but found it difficult to fall asleep.
In order to prevent his senior brother from getting married, Emperor Qianyuan must have used many methods, not just asking her to observe mourning.
She couldn't think of what other tricks Emperor Qianyuan might have up his sleeve.
The next day.
Shangguan Lan, mother and son, along with forty-eight loads of betrothal gifts, led by the imperial guards, rushed to the Xiao Mansion to propose marriage.
The people passing by were amazed when they saw this.
Not only the common people were envious, but also the young ladies from the aristocratic families in Beijing were envious.
Why don’t they have such a good life!
Xiao Tianci's eyes turned red with joy as he looked at the forty-eight loads of betrothal gifts.
His precious granddaughter is so lucky!
"Boss, you can rest assured this time. Ayi cherishes Yu'er as the apple of his eye."
Xiao Su and Xiao Jing rushed back from the border, and Xiao Tianci asked them to stay on the road for a few more days before coming back.
Fortunately, they did not dare to delay too much. If they were any later, Xiaowu would have been a month old and they would not have had to come back.
"Yes, Dad, Yi is a good boy."
Shangguan Lan noticed that Xiao Su looked somewhat like Xiao Lingyu, "Lord Xiao, is this Yu'er's father, General Xiao Su?"
"Ha... Exactly. Let me introduce you to my in-laws..."
On the other side, Xiao Xier came to the Gu Mansion, "Grandma, come with me to the palace today. My mother wants to see you."
Gu Yunshu touched her face and said, "Grandmother really wants to meet your mother, but this face of yours looks too similar to hers in her past life, so she cannot enter the palace."
Xiao Xier took out a set of rouge and powder specially made by Xiao Lingyu from the phoenix cloth bag without any hurry. "It's okay. Grandma can wear a mask, a veil, or even make-up to disguise herself and enter the palace. I suggest using my mother's waterproof rouge and powder to disguise herself as my personal maid and enter the palace."
Gu Yunshu was surprised, "Your mother can also make rouge and powder?"
Xiao Xier chuckled, "Have you heard of Xianglu?"
"I've heard that even my grandmother couldn't get it... Could it be that the fragrant dew was made by your mother?"
Xiao Xier smiled and nodded, "Yes, those four fragrance lotions were all made by my mother, and the scent on me is the scent of Xihan Fragrance Lotion."
Gu Yunshu was overjoyed. Her daughter-in-law seemed to know everything. She liked her more and more before she even met her.
"Then Grandma will listen to you!"
Half an hour later, a pretty palace maid appeared beside Xiao Xier.
"Mother."
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyes and looked towards Gu Yunshu.
At this time, Gu Yunshu lowered her head slightly. Although her face was covered with rouge and powder, judging from her face shape and exquisite figure, her mother-in-law was a great beauty!
