Chapter 115: The Rules of Wife
Gu Wanru swept away her former reserved pride, walked over hesitantly, and took Wang's arm affectionately.
She called out tenderly, "Mother, are you angry with your daughter? I've been through such a hard time recently. When I saw my relatives, I felt so aggrieved that I had no one to complain to. I ignored my mother's feelings. Please don't blame me, okay?"
As he said this, he leaned into Wang's arms, tears streaming down his face.
Gu Huan looked at her and said nothing.
Wang was conflicted.
After all, he was the child she had raised for more than ten years, and he always touched her heart.
What's more, the matter of the real and fake daughter was just her imagination, with no real evidence. What if it didn't happen?
She couldn't bear to let Gu Wanru suffer.
Wang patted her and said softly, "Okay, your sister is getting married tomorrow, so don't cry."
Gu Wanru was relieved when she heard that she was as gentle to her as before.
She glanced at Gu Huan triumphantly, wiped her tears, and nodded obediently.
"Yes, mother. Let's go back then."
"good."
Wang looked at Gu Huan and said, "Madam Zhou, please follow Miss Zhou and help Huan'er take care of things."
Madam Zhou responded, "Don't worry, Madam. I will make sure it's all arranged."
Gu Huan did not refuse. After all, she had no staff in the Marquis' Mansion, and it would be easier to do things with Nanny Zhou around.
Gu Huan respectfully saw Wang off, and turned back to ask Donghua Dongqing to count and register the dowry sent by Wang.
Zhou Zhilan held her back and lowered her voice: "Do you feel that there is something wrong with your mother?"
Gu Huan nodded.
Did she know?
But she didn't dare to recognize him rashly. She had to have both human and material evidence to prove Aunt Pei's guilt.
"Mrs. Pei needs to keep a close eye on me. She and Gu Wanru are trying every means to get me out of the Duke's Mansion. They won't give up so easily."
"Don't worry. You see, Dong Mo brought more than ten people with him, and there are still people outside. Anyone who wants to get close to the Marquis' Mansion and do something wrong will not be able to get in."
Gu Huan glanced at the smiling Zhou Zhilan, and they both smiled knowingly.
"Sleep well tonight and you will be the most beautiful bride tomorrow."
Gu Huan felt warm in her heart.
She had no sense of shame as a concubine.
A concubine is still the principal wife, but it is just an empty identity.
The Yongguo Mansion has done its best to follow the rituals for marrying a wife, so why should she worry about it?
So what if she is the principal wife?
My mother, the principal wife of the marquis's mansion, lived a very miserable life.
She can't rely on anyone in the Marquis's Mansion, as her father is a selfish and self-centered man.
After she marries into the Duke's Mansion and has a legitimate status, she will settle accounts with them bit by bit.
Gu Yuan attached great importance to tomorrow's wedding. He also knew that Duke Yong would marry his wife according to the rules for a legal wife, so how could the Wenchang Marquisate dare to neglect it? The entire mansion was decorated with lights and red silks, almost as if it were Gu Wanru's wedding day.
Dongqing and the other two walked around the mansion and were quite satisfied. The people who came with them from the Duke's Mansion rested peacefully.
…
Xianglan Garden.
Aunt Pei's handkerchief was almost torn to pieces by her, and she looked out the window anxiously.
It was not until the hour of midnight that Gu Wanru came alone.
Aunt Pei's eyes turned red as she pulled her into her arms and called her baby.
Gu Wanru hated her clinginess, so she pushed her away and complained, "Gu Huan has already been brought out. Is there any way for mother to stop her from entering the Duke's Mansion tomorrow?"
Seeing Aunt Pei was upset, Madam Lu hurriedly said, "My dear, Aunt Pei pushed you down today and hurt her waist."
Gu Wanru frowned, looking impatient: "If your waist is injured, let the court doctor see it."
Aunt Pei glared at Madam Lu and said, "It's more important to talk about business."
"Don't worry, Ru'er, it's impossible for that little bitch to marry into the Duke's Mansion smoothly."
Aunt Pei looked very proud: "I have spread the word that the kidnappers were deceived and the one abducted was actually the little bitch, not the young lady of the Duke's Mansion. The kidnappers will definitely come back to avenge themselves."
Gu Wanru didn't believe it, "What if he doesn't come?"
Aunt Pei smiled slyly: "If the real bandits don't come, there are fake bandits. Besides, mother has arranged more than just this one thing. Tomorrow, you will just watch the show."
Gu Wanru was skeptical.
That little bitch Gu Huan has escaped several times. If we can't control her this time, there will be endless trouble.
"Mother gave all her dowry to the little bitch."
Gu Wanru just saw a set of head ornaments in the wooden box that she really wanted, but Wang said that the head ornaments were the only valuable jewelry her mother left her, and the style was a bit old and not suitable for her.
But Wang was willing to give it to the little bitch.
Aunt Pei said disdainfully: "What good is she? She said she was from the Wang family of Langya, but she herself is from a small branch."
Gu Wanru was still very angry.
"You should be content. Your father scolded me today because I gave you four shops and most of Uncle Pei's money."
Aunt Pei's eyes narrowed suddenly: "You mean the little bitch stayed with Duke Yong for a whole night before coming back? They were dressed neatly when they came back?"
"Yeah." Gu Wanru sounded weak and in a bad mood.
"Then they must have been together last night." Aunt Pei said with certainty.
Gu Wanru rolled her eyes and said, "They have been together for a long time. Otherwise, my father-in-law would not be afraid of the taboo of his son marrying his sister and take her as a concubine?"
Aunt Pei's eyes rolled, "But the emperor granted her a marriage as a concubine. If the news of her losing her virginity before marriage spreads out, and the fact that she was kidnapped by thieves is confirmed, she will not be able to be a concubine!"
Gu Wanru's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes. But how do we know where they stayed last night?"
"I'll ask your uncle to check. The place where Duke Yong can stay overnight must be the Duke's Mansion's own property."
Gu Wanru seemed to have seen new hope: "As long as she becomes a concubine, her status will be difficult to compete with mine. The child she gives birth to will also be the most humble bastard."
She grabbed Aunt Pei's hand and said, "Mother, please find the best gynecologist for me and make sure I get well as soon as possible. I must get pregnant as soon as possible."
"Don't worry about that. Mother has already asked your uncle to look for it. Your uncle has prepared the best medicinal herbs, and he will have them brought to you after the wedding. In addition, I have picked two capable maids for you and will bring them to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow."
Gu Wanru finally smiled: "Mom is still the best to me."
Aunt Pei was relieved, and the sadness she felt when her own daughter pushed her instantly disappeared.
It’s the hour of Yin.
Gu Huan was pulled up.
"It's not even daybreak yet, let me sleep a little longer."
Gu Huan fell onto the bed in a daze, but was caught by the powerful Dong Hua.
"Young lady, you can go to sleep while the servants do your dressing."
Zhou Zhilan waved her hand and a group of maids came in one after another.
They all came from the Duke's Mansion an hour ago.
Gu Huan, who had been tormented enough before, was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
She didn't pay any attention to what they were doing. When she came to her senses, she was stunned by the stunningly beautiful bride in the bronze mirror.
He stared at the bronze mirror for a long time in disbelief: "This... is me?"
If she hadn't tried on the bright red wedding dress and the phoenix crown before, she really wouldn't have believed it was her.
"Are you either you or a fairy who has descended to earth?" Zhou Zhilan laughed triumphantly.
"Are you all dressed up?" Wang's voice came.
Gu Huan stood up nervously.
Wang was startled by Gu Huan, who was wearing a gorgeous bright red wedding dress.
"You...was this wedding dress prepared by the Duke's Mansion?"
"Yes. From head to toe, everything is from Linlanglou and Xiubofang." Zhou Zhilan looked proud.
Wang naturally recognized it, but...
Madam Zhou was also surprised: "Second Miss, this is the red color that only the main wife can use."
I’m afraid it’s inappropriate? People will talk about it.
When Gu Huan tried it on, she questioned whether she had used the wrong color and style.
Zhou Zhilan said that since the master would not have a principal wife anyway, Gu Huan was a concubine, so it was understandable for her to wear the principal wife's wedding dress.
Gu Huan guessed that this was what Mu Junyan meant.
Otherwise, how would Zhou Zhilan dare to make the decision on her own?
"Miss Huan, Mu Liulang is leading the wedding procession to the door."
Gu Huan was stunned.
Mu Feng?
