Gu Wanying had no idea that there was someone in this huge palace who wanted to secretly protect her. She only knew that today was the wedding day of Sun Chongming and Gu Qingqing.
She started preparing a make-up gift for Gu Qingqing in the morning and only chose a solemn and beautiful hairpin.
Before going to meet someone who was very important to both her and the original owner, Gu Wanying took a bath, changed her clothes, and burned incense to pray.
Others couldn't understand it, but Yue Tao did. However, she didn't say anything and just lowered her head and served Gu Wanying submissively.
In fact, Gu Wanying was not burning incense and praying. She just wanted to comfort the original owner's spirit in heaven. She would go and avenge her right away!
If she can't live well, no one else can live a peaceful life!
Abandoned by a scumbag and backstabbed by her sisters, the original owner's entire life fell into a quagmire!
Gu Wanying felt waves of grief coming from deep within her heart, and she covered her chest with her hands.
Soon, this would be over, and she would be able to watch those people live in pain for the rest of their lives.
When the Sun family married a daughter-in-law, the wedding procession stretched from one end of the street to the other, creating a grand spectacle.
The groom rode a tall horse at the front of the team. He was handsome and elegant. He was also a reader in the Hanlin Academy. He was truly young and promising, full of vigor and vitality.
As soon as he appeared, many women blushed.
Gu Wanying appeared at this time. She was sitting in a luxurious carriage with a golden bell hanging on each of the four corners. Whenever the carriage moved, it would make a clear and pleasant sound.
The sound of the bells seemed to have penetrating power. When they rang together, the groom on the tall horse looked over.
This glance through the sea of people seemed as if time had stopped at that moment. Everything around seemed to quickly turn gray, and only that face was still bright and vivid.
A stunning face appeared from behind the curtain that happened to be the subject of conversation. Her eyes, immersed and watery, had a hint of sadness as she looked straight at him.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air.
"Master, where are you going? The Gu family is over here." The horse-leading servant noticed the groom's movements and asked anxiously.
"Oh, I see." Sun Chongming was shocked to realize that he had done something that he couldn't understand just by taking a look, and he immediately pulled the reins.
When he looked again, the carriage had disappeared.
"I didn't expect that Sun Chongming would look so respectable in the groom's clothes." Gu Wanying muttered with gritted teeth.
"Sun Chongming is quite good-looking." The sudden words from the childbearing system almost made Gu Wanying lose her composure.
Where did this childbirth system get the program from? Why does it feel a bit like Zhen Li Zhen's anger?
The wedding procession marched towards the Gu Mansion in a mighty procession.
Gu Qingqing was waiting quietly in her boudoir in her bright red wedding gown. Gu Chen and several other women from the clan were saying auspicious words to her. She was completely immersed in the joy of getting married.
Until Gu Wanying's arrival broke the harmonious atmosphere.
Although the affair between Gu Wanying and Sun Chongming was not known to everyone, people in the clan still knew something about it.
Seeing her coming over, everyone looked at her with different expressions, wondering if they could see any trace of negative emotion on Gu Wanying's face.
But unfortunately, Gu Wanying has always been dignified and gentle, and has never shown any bad emotions.
Given Gu Wanying's current status and position, it was not excessive for the aunts and uncles of the clan present to kneel down and pay their respects, so the small room was filled with a large group of people kneeling.
Gu Wanying stood beside Gu Qingqing and gently raised her hand to ask everyone to stand up. She deliberately ignored the questions or inquiries on their faces.
From the moment Gu Wanying entered the room, Gu Qingqing felt that the glory that originally belonged to her was suddenly taken away by her, just like a bright pearl shining on a firefly, the difference between the two was immediately apparent.
Her cheeks were white and pink with makeup on, and her lips were red as if they were dripping blood. She seemed to have an overly beautiful look, which almost scared Gu Wanying.
"Sister, you are really bright and beautiful today." Gu Wanying complimented against her will.
Gu Qingqing snorted coldly, obviously not wanting to respond.
As soon as Gu Wanying stretched out her hand, Yuetao handed her a golden nanmu box.
The box alone made everyone present sigh in admiration. The golden nanmu wood is worth a fortune, and each pattern is unique. Moreover, the color is like gold and silk, and it is brilliant. When you get close, you can even smell a faint fragrance.
This is something only the royal family can afford. Now they have the opportunity to see it and they say it is really worth the trip.
Everyone just marveled at the box, but they didn't expect that the contents inside were even more amazing.
Inside, on the red velvet cloth lay a precious hairpin, made entirely of gold, with only a few gems embellished in the patterns on the hairpin head. It looked simple yet luxurious.
The crowd sighed again.
"This is a gift from your sister to add to your makeup. I hope you will have a smooth and peaceful marriage and enjoy eternal happiness." Gu Wanying personally put the hairpin on Gu Qingqing's head.
With this hairpin, she looks even more radiant.
Gu Qingqing's expression brightened a little. "Thank you for the makeup, sister. I will live a good life with Sun Lang according to your expectations."
Gu Wanying felt a slight pain in her heart, but it disappeared in an instant, which showed that the original owner's emotions were also gradually disappearing.
There was a commotion coming from the front; the groom was coming to pick up the bride!
After going through many trials and tribulations, the high-spirited young man finally stood before his beloved.
Gu Qingqing had been covered with a big red veil and was carried out of the boudoir by her cousin.
Gu Wanying stood at the door and watched the two people go away, her eyes dark.
The Gu family was marrying off their daughter, and ten miles of red dowry was not enough. As the procession moved forward, the people along the street received copper coins and candies scattered all over the place, and the streets were filled with the innocent laughter of children.
However, Sun Chongming had an illusion that Yingying was watching him from somewhere, which made him a little absent-minded.
After bringing the bride back, it’s time to have a good time.
One end of the bright red wedding silk was in Sun Chongming's hand, and the other end was stuffed into the hands of Gu Qingqing who had just gotten out of the sedan chair.
Then it’s time to cross the saddle and the fire basin, and then it’s time to worship in the hall.
The parents sit in the hall, and the newlyweds bow again. When the couple finishes bowing to each other, the ceremony is considered complete.
Sun's father and mother were beaming with joy and were busy entertaining the guests, while Sun Chongming took Gu Qingqing's hand and entered the bridal chamber.
After lifting the veil and drinking the wedding wine, Sun Chongming went outside to entertain the guests, leaving Gu Qingqing to rest in the bridal chamber.
After doing all this, Gu Qingqing was extremely tired. She hadn't eaten all day, so she was hungry and sleepy. Fortunately, there was a banquet in the room.
Just as she finished washing up and was about to eat, two women came in.
They both had rosy cheeks and wore peach-pink dresses. They bowed gracefully when they saw Gu Qingqing.
"My beautiful lady, now that Sun Lang has finally welcomed you home, I can finally put my mind at ease." Qiao Niang wiped her non-existent tears with a handkerchief and said with a smile.
