Chapter 12 Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don’t feel wronged!
Xiao An An thought, if Guo Guo stayed with her for a while longer, maybe his leg would get better!
Gu Chen was naturally happy to do so. After explaining things to Ruhua and Xihua, he carried An An back to his own courtyard.
In the study room on the other side, the atmosphere was solemn.
Gu Yi ignored her father and two brothers' attempts to stop her and kowtowed to the three of them. When she raised her eyes again, tears were streaming down her face: "I am an unfilial daughter and have caused trouble for my father and brothers!"
Gu Tingjun quickly helped him up: "Oh, we are a family, what's the problem?"
Holding the cloth and looking at the bloody words, Gu Tingzhou sneered: "This is really a good trick, father, what do you think?"
He was sure that even if his younger sister accepted it, she would just throw it away. He would wait for the right time to find an excuse to search the Gu family. Once this thing was found, the Gu family would be in disaster.
Gu Mingshan said without hesitation: "Burn it. I want to see what tricks they are going to play."
Soon, in the early spring of the following year, the marriage of Gu Chen and Song Qingxi was put on the agenda.
The Gu family is making intensive preparations.
Three months before the wedding, the man and woman cannot meet each other. For this reason, Gu Chen specially asked Xu Tinglan to send an invitation and secretly blushed under the teasing gaze of his mother.
The next day, Song Qingxi, led by his servants, met Gu Chen, who was sitting alone in the pavilion. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands.
Seeing the little ball in Gu Chen's arms, Song Qingxi suddenly relaxed.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, hug me!" An An stretched out her hands for a hug.
Naturally, they didn't know what they were called and both of them blushed.
“Hoo—Hoo—”
Song Qingxi was a little amused and confused. Little Anan might have felt that his throat was sore that he couldn't speak, so he took the opportunity to start sneezing.
Gu Chen calmed down his emotions before speaking: "Well, the reason I invited Miss Song here this time is because we won't be able to meet in a few days, I..."
Song Qingxi lowered her head and teased An An, her ears turning red.
Gu Chen didn't know what to say, so he pretended to be calm and said, "On the wedding day, my legs will probably be talked about by others. It's unfair for you to marry me."
The young man sitting in the wheelchair sincerely felt that such a good girl was framed to marry a useless man like him and ruined her second half of life.
Song Qingxi raised his head and looked at the serious expression of the young man in front of him. He wanted to say something, but could only shake his head continuously.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I don't feel wronged!" An An spoke vaguely while sucking her fingers.
This made both of them laugh, and Song Qingxi looked at Gu Chen and nodded.
She really didn't feel wronged. If she felt wronged, it was Gu Chen who was wronged because she was a mute and married the eldest son of the Gu family, right?
If Xu Tinglan and Gu Yi were here, they would probably be at a loss whether to laugh or cry: after all, they are just little kids, worrying about each other being wronged. They are really a perfect match.
"By the way, we suspect that the Song family may take action on the day of your wedding. Here is a warrior by my side who is absolutely trustworthy. His name is Jiang He, and he can protect your safety."
This is the purpose of inviting Song Qingxi this time. The Gu family feels that the Song family will not be at peace for too long, and they will feel relieved to have someone of their own to protect them.
Just as Song Qingxi was about to shake her head to refuse, she heard Gu Chen say to Jiang He, "Protect Miss Song well."
Jiang He responded and immediately walked behind Song Qingxi.
Song Qingxi had no choice but to accept it.
Soon, the wedding day arrived.
People in the capital looked at Gu Chen in his wedding gown and discussed quietly.
"Isn't this the disabled eldest son of the Gu family? Is he going to get married?"
"You don't know this, right? He is marrying the daughter of the Crown Prince's tutor!"
"Hey! Is there really a little girl who likes a useless person?"
"Oh, that Taifu's daughter is a mute!"
"Ha, a disabled man and a mute man, they are truly a perfect match!"
The voices of discussion were quite loud, and Jiang Hai couldn't help but want to draw his sword. Their eldest son was a good person, why were they gossiping about him!
Gu Chen in the wheelchair looked normal. He had heard such voices many times over the years.
There was no way to ride a horse to pick up the bride, so Gu Chen could only sit in the sedan chair, and everything seemed to be going in an orderly manner.
At the Song family, Song Shaoxi couldn't help laughing when he saw Song Qingxi about to fall into the fire pit.
The Song family was unusually calm and didn't cause any trouble, so the bride-receiving process went smoothly.
When they arrived at Gu Mansion, Gu Chen and Song Qingxi each held a red silk in one hand.
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
"Bow to your parents!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shang and Yang Yan came in aggressively, saying sternly, "How dare you, Gu family! You actually colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty! Someone, search them for me!"
Everyone in the Gu family looked coldly at Song Shang and Yang Yan. Gu Mingshan stepped forward and said, "My lords, what do you mean by this?"
The guests present were also confused: Gu family, colluding with the previous dynasty? Is this impossible?
"The emperor received a secret report claiming that the Gu family colluded with the prince of the previous dynasty. Every word was as if he had seen it with his own eyes! You still want to deny it!" Song Shang looked at Gu Mingshan, his eyes full of pride that he had won the victory.
ha! He couldn't wait to see the Gu family kneeling down and begging for mercy!
Yang Yan was already unable to contain his excitement. Looking at Gu Yi, he was determined to make this woman kneel down and beg him!
"My Lords, General Gu returned victorious a few days ago and nearly lost his life. The Gu family's love for the Dayan Dynasty and the current emperor is evident to all!"
Song Shang looked over and saw that it was the Minister of Rites Xue An. He snorted in his heart: Everyone knows that the Xue family and the Gu family have discussed this, so it's not surprising that he speaks for the Gu family.
"Master Xue, I understand your feelings, but this search is the emperor's order! Master Xue, are you going to disobey the emperor's order?"
"You!" Xue An glared at Song Shang, this old man!
"Sou, this is what my father wants, and it's also what I want."
A voice came, causing everyone's expression to change.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone knelt on the ground in unison.
Song Shang and Yang Yan became even more proud. The prince is here, let’s see how you, Gu Mingshan, can argue!
It should have been a joyous wedding, but the atmosphere now is silent and chilly.
The prince sat on the seat and looked at the people kneeling on the ground, with no expression on his face.
"His Royal Highness, we found this during a search of the study!" The Royal Guards handed it over hurriedly.
Song Shang and Yang Yan's faces lit up with joy: It's finally here!
"How dare you! Kneel down!" The prince slammed the table, and the people kneeling on the ground lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
"Your Highness, Mu Shengen of the Gu family has committed such a crime, he should be punished by death!" Song Shang spoke immediately.
"That's right, Your Highness, the Gu family is not a good family. They should be killed along with their entire clan!" Yang Yan said viciously.
"You!" Gu Yi pointed at Yang Yan, who kept breaking his own record.
"Gu Yi, I didn't expect you to be such a woman. Fortunately, I divorced you, otherwise..." Yang Yan smiled maliciously.
"Sir Song, I, Gu, just got married to your daughter today. I'm afraid that Sir Song's family will not be able to escape the execution of all nine generations of their clan, right?" Gu Chen said lightly.
The Gu family would never collude with the previous dynasty. Although Gu Chen doesn’t know what the things they found out are, the Gu family would never do such a thing!
Song Qingxi clenched the red silk tightly. Due to the sudden situation, she didn't know what was going on.
The end of the red silk was gently pinched, as if to signal that she was at ease.
"Qingxi has a bad character at home. I have long since given up on this daughter. The letter of severance has been written and we only need to sign it."
Song Shang spoke indifferently.
"Liang Qin..." An An was about to raise her head, but was pushed back by Gu Yi.
