"Ahem, Xiaoyu, you brought Master Liang here in person today, but do you have anything to say?" Gu Yunru quickly changed the subject. She didn't want to continue wasting too much time on Xiangping. Instead, she was curious about the progress between Xiaoyu and Master Liang.

"Boss, this is what I am saying. It was me who asked Xiaoyu to come to Huajianlou with me this time. If it weren't for you bringing us together, I really don't know where to find a woman as smart and considerate as Xiaoyu." Liang Xu held his hand tightly, and every word he said touched the hearts of the two of them. Although Liang Xu looked well-dressed, he was not ambiguous at all when it came to saying these nice words.

"It seems that both of you are quite satisfied with each other. Why don't you set the wedding date quickly?" Gu Yunru was very satisfied with this red thread. When she saw Liang Xu for the first time, she was sure that this young man had a good family background and was also a very loyal and infatuated man.

"Okay, but I know Xiaoyu doesn't have any family. You and Brother Rong are his family. So if I want to propose marriage, I would like to start with you two." Liang Xu was very considerate and thoughtful. He knew that Xiaoyu was a lonely person and had no close relatives except her master Xiangping.

"Okay, okay, I couldn't be happier!"

The next day, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen were waiting in the hall, waiting for Liang Xu to come in person to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts. When the time came, they would ask someone to calculate an auspicious day, and the marriage would be settled.

"Time flies by so fast, but fortunately, Master Liang and Xiaoyu are in tune with each other..." Gu Yunru said with a sigh on her face. Rong Zhen held her hand tightly and said, "It's my wife who handled it thoughtfully and brought these lovers together. Otherwise, they might have to figure each other out for a long time."

"Sir, please stop making fun of me. It's getting late. Why hasn't Mr. Liang come yet?"

Gu Yunru asked the housekeeper about the time, and sure enough, she heard noise at the door. Liang Xu brought people carrying several boxes of betrothal gifts and walked into Huajianlou, which was considered a formal betrothal proposal.

"Greetings, brother and sister-in-law!" Liang Xu was a sweet-talker and quickly figured out the logic. Rong Zhen also formally accepted Xiaoyu as his sister. In this way, they and Xiaoyu were a family.

"Liang Xu, has your father asked someone to calculate the date for the wedding?"

Gu Yunru was more concerned about when the wedding would be held.

If she couldn't settle down, her heart would always be in turmoil, and she would toss and turn day and night and couldn't sleep.

"My father has said that it will be held next month."

Next month is Liang Xu and Xiaoyu’s wedding date. In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. Gu Yunru seemed to be calculating something in the house.

"My wife, what are you calculating? It's getting dark, you should get some rest." Rong Zhen came forward and gently supported her back. Gu Yunru smiled bitterly and took his hand away. "I'm counting the days. Don't you think time is passing quickly? I don't know how the conversation between Yin Zu and the Emperor went." Gu Yunru was always worried about such internal and external troubles. Rong Zhen, on the contrary, observed that she had been tense ever since she gave birth to Yaya.

"I heard that the peonies in Luoyang City are blooming again. Why don't we go to Luoyang City this year?" Rong Zhen wanted to take her outside to relax so that she wouldn't be so nervous every day.

Gu Yunru's face turned pale for a moment, she pursed her lips slightly and shook her head.

"How can this be possible? Yin Zu hasn't come back yet..."

"Then what do you want to do?" Rong Zhen asked a little uneasily. No matter what suggestions he made, Gu Yunru always looked bitter and resentful, as if she would not listen to anything he said.

"I want to go back to the capital to take a look..." Gu Yunru turned around and looked at his tired eyes. She didn't know if it was postpartum depression, but she always felt that something big was happening. If she didn't go back to the capital in person, her heart would always be in turmoil.

"Okay, if you want to go back, I'll go back with you." Rong Zhen held her arm with one hand, signaling her to relax. No matter where Gu Yunru wanted to go, he would definitely accompany her. "

"Okay, after Liang Xu and Xiaoyu get married, we will immediately return to the capital." Gu Yunru quietly raised her eyes and took a look at his expression. Fortunately, he was not angry, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The wedding day was coming soon, but the army of Hou Liang had already been deployed all around. Rong Zhen received the news from the secret guards and looked at Gu Yunru who looked relaxed beside him. He did not intend to tell her about this matter. In order to be on the safe side, he had to do it himself.

"My wife... I have something to do, so I'll be out for a while." Rong Zhen left the wedding banquet with an excuse. Xiang Ping noticed something was wrong, so she followed him out secretly, slowing down her pace for fear that Rong Zhen would find out.

After Rong Zhen met the secret guard, he rode his horse directly towards the official road. Xiang Ping followed him stupidly, but he didn't expect that because the horse was galloping too fast, he lost him halfway.

When Liang Xu and Xiao Yu were about to worship heaven and earth, a servant suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Oh no! Liang's soldiers have broken in. Everyone, run!"

Hearing this, everyone panicked and started to flee in all directions. People trampled on each other and squeezed each other, which happened from time to time. Gu Yunru stood there and prepared to look for Rong Zhen, but found that he was gone.

When she was trying to go out through the back door, she was bumped by someone and fell to the side. Then a pair of hands helped her up. Gu Yunru looked up and saw that it was Xiang Ping.

"Xiang Ping..."

"Hurry up and follow me!" Xiang Ping had no time to explain at this moment. When he was halfway following Rong Zhen, he suddenly found that he was missing. Later, he saw a group of soldiers fighting outside the city gate. Several teams came from nowhere and started shooting arrows, killing all the people in the city.

Xiangping took her back to Sumu Zhai. Along the way, they could see scenes of widespread wailing. The bloody scene frightened Gu Yunru so much that she almost fainted.

"Hurry up! This is my wine cellar, get down quickly!"

"What about you?" Gu Yunru looked at her uneasily. There was a secret compartment downstairs, which was the wine cellar. A strong smell of wine hit her in the face.

"I want to go find my grandpa. You go down first and I'll come down after I find him!" Xiangping said hurriedly and closed the secret compartment directly.
