Chapter 118 Wedding
Mu Junyan lowered the door curtain, the bridal sedan was lifted up again, and lively music and drumming sounds began.
Gu Huan knew that Mu Junyan was right beside her, and she finally felt relieved.
But those sad and heart-wrenching eyes always flicker before my eyes.
...Maybe she was too afraid of him?
Mu Junyan was riding on a horse. Chi Yan approached and whispered, "Those three were just hooligans. They used hunters' bows and arrows. They were in the same group as the ones who caused trouble in front of the Gu Mansion. They confessed that they were paid by Madam Lu from the Gu Mansion to do it."
Mu Junyan nodded: "Kidnap him and settle the score tonight. Find out who the man with the silver mask is as soon as possible."
"yes."
The wedding ceremony was held according to the rules for a proper wife. They worshipped heaven and earth, their parents, and the couple bowed to each other. Then they were sent to the bridal chamber.
Gu Huan didn't expect that Mu Junyan would set up his new home in the main room of Wenhanxuan.
Gu Huan, holding a fan in one hand and a red silk in the other, was led into the bridal chamber by Mu Junyan.
Originally, the matchmaker wanted to come in to perform the ceremony of clearing the curtains, but was sent out by Mu Junyan.
In the new house, there were only the two of them left in silence.
Gu Huan sat there nervously. A big hand appeared in front of her, took away her fan, and handed her a wine glass.
Is this to drink a cup of wine with her?
"My lady, are you willing to drink wine with your husband?"
Mu Junyan rarely spoke with a smile, and he gazed down at the beautiful bride in front of him.
He drank a lot of wine. Although he was not drunk, he was a little tipsy.
Gu Huan glanced at him quickly, stood up slowly, took the wine glass, and lowered her eyes shyly.
"I am willing."
They crossed their arms, drank the whole drink in one gulp, looked into each other's eyes, and their emotions flowed.
Mu Junyan couldn't help but peck at those tender and tempting cherry lips.
Gu Huan's ears turned red.
Today is her wedding night.
The only wedding night in two lives.
Mu Junyan took her hand and walked to the dressing mirror. He gently pushed her to sit on the chair and started to help her take off the beads.
Donghua and the other person saw this from outside the window, covered their mouths and chuckled, not daring to come in.
Dong Mo rushed into the yard and saw two people standing outside the door with smiles on their faces. He was so anxious that he stamped his feet and walked over quickly.
"Where is the master? He left immediately after drinking the wedding wine. The guests are looking for him to toast."
Donghua quickly grabbed him and pushed him out: "Keep your voice down, Master and Miss, oh no, Auntie is removing her makeup."
"Take off makeup?" Dong Mo was pushed out of the yard door. He sighed helplessly and had to rush back to the front yard to inform the old lady.
Seeing that Mu Junyan was clumsily pulling her hair and it hurt a little, Gu Huan whispered, "Master, let Donghua and the others come."
Mu Junyan was struggling with the pearl flower that had hooked her hair, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting Gu Huan.
He said slowly, "Call me Ziyuan from now on."
Gu Huan turned her head and said, "Hiss..."
Mu Junyan was helpless and patted her head unhappily: "It's not finished yet, why are you messing around?"
As he spoke, he gently massaged the area where his hair was pulled.
Gu Huan grinned: "Is Ziyuan your courtesy name?"
"Well. Do you have a courtesy name or nickname?"
Gu Huan looked at the man standing behind her in the bronze mirror and whispered, "No. Pei wanted to torture me to death, so how could she have the time to choose a courtesy name for me?"
Mu Junyan paused and looked at the person in the bronze mirror.
"Tonight, we settle the accounts."
Gu Huan quickly held her hair down, turned her head and widened her eyes: "Master..."
"Ziyuan."
Gu Huan stood up in a hurry, and couldn't help but grab his wrist with both hands, with tears in her eyes: "Ziyuan, are you saying that I can recognize my mother tonight?"
Mu Junyan looked at the girl's eyes that were sparkling with tears and touched her cheek: "Are you happy?"
Gu Huan nodded vigorously.
In just a dozen days, she felt like she had crossed over her previous life and the days felt like years.
When she came back, she couldn't wait to tell her mother that she was her biological daughter.
But, if the babies were swapped and there is no witness or evidence, no one would believe it.
What's more, once this matter is exposed, the Gu family's reputation will be torn to pieces.
Favoring concubines and ignoring wives, concubines holding power, and the separation of legitimate and illegitimate children, none of these things are what Gu wants to see.
If she was not sure of victory and rashly disclosed the matter, the Gu family would use every means to suppress it.
Mu Junyan held her trembling shoulders with his hands and smiled: "Take good care of yourself. Tonight, we will welcome your new life together."
Gu Huan was extremely excited.
Finally waited for this moment.
The bead curtain fluttered, and Donghua and Dongqing walked in with plates.
Dong Qing set the table and said, "Are you hungry, girl? Eat something first to fill your stomach."
"There are many guests today. As soon as the master left, he was surrounded by a group of people toasting him."
Donghua chattered and told her what she saw at the banquet.
Gu Huan was only thinking about what was going to happen tonight, and she quickly ate a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun.
"Aunt, would you like to take a rest first?" Donghua saw that she didn't look well.
Gu Huan also wanted to be alone, so she nodded.
Donghua and the others helped her change clothes, and after serving her and helping her lie down on the bed, they slowly left and closed the door. The two of them stood guard at the door, one on each side.
I have been tossing and turning for several hours since I woke up before dawn, and now it is dusk.
Gu Huan was already exhausted. She lay on the soft bed and fell asleep unknowingly.
…
The old lady was tired, so she left the banquet and went back to rest. Mu Junyan supported her and sent her back.
"When will we set out?"
"Your Majesty orders tomorrow morning."
The old lady paused and looked up at him: "Didn't you tell the child?"
Mu Junyan shook his head: "Mother, I have something to ask for."
"you say."
Mu Junyan solemnly took out a letter and handed it to the old lady with both hands.
"Letter of separation?" The old lady stared at the words on the envelope.
"If her son dies in battle and she wants to leave, please ask the elders of both families to give her the divorce certificate in person."
Mu Junyan thought about it and decided that only if his mother invited the elders of the two clans, performed a ceremony, and gave Gu Huan the divorce papers in person, would she be able to get married in the future.
"She is a concubine, so it can't be considered a divorce."
"And this." Mu Junyan took out another red book.
The old lady opened it and saw that it was a document promoting Gu Huan as his legal wife, stamped with the government seal and with a gift list attached.
"Thank you for your hard work, mother. First, you have to make her your legitimate wife, and then you can go through the divorce ceremony. In addition, I have prepared a divorce gift list, leaving some things for Huan'er to keep."
He is determined to die!
The old lady watched helplessly as her relatives died one after another on the battlefield, and her only remaining son...
But as the number one female general in Daliang, she had long since become indifferent to life and death, and great sorrows and joys were all like passing clouds.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she nodded with a smile: "You are very thoughtful, and the child is pitiful. But, Yan'er..."
The old lady choked up and said, "You are my only son. It would be best if you could come back alive."
Mu Junyan's eyes were filled with tears. He clasped his hands together and knelt on one knee.
"Mother, you have been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years just to protect the Mu family army for me, so that your son has time to fulfill the long-cherished wish of grandfather and father. In this battle, your son will beat the barbarians back to their nest and ensure that the glory bought with the blood of the entire Mu family will stand forever!"
The old lady helped him up with one hand and said, "Good son. Go to the battle without worry. Your mother is here to watch over you."
…
Gu Huan woke up suddenly and lay face down, but she was keenly aware of an unfamiliar smell in the room.
She held her breath nervously and distinguished carefully.
Indeed, there was the scent of a strange man in the room!
