What he said was not without reason. Mr. Gu knew that his wife and Gu Yunru had never gotten along. He moistened his throat and said, "Okay, stop arguing. After all, they are both daughters of the Gu family. What's the difference?"
Gu Junyao's heart almost broke when these words were spoken. This was the man she had been thinking about for several years, but she didn't expect that he was replaced by her younger sister.
"father!"
Gu Junyao raised her tear-stained face and cried like rain, which made people feel sympathetic. Master Gu waved his hands and said impatiently: "Cry! What's the use of just crying? Can you cry Junyue back?"
It was so late, the matter was probably done, what was the point of regretting it now? On the other side of the screen, Gu Junyue touched her hungry stomach, quietly lifted the red veil, and looked at the spacious room. This was the Cheng Mansion, this was her and her husband's room.
There was a happy smile on her playful face, and she was just about to steal one or two pieces of cakes from the table when she unexpectedly heard the door being pushed open. It was Cheng Shaoyuan.
She quickly turned her head and faced away from him. Cheng Shaoyuan turned his head awkwardly and said, "I'll come back to get some things. I'll sleep in the study tonight. You should go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me."
Gu Junyue felt a little disappointed as she listened to the footsteps gradually fading away. He didn't even take off her veil, nor did they drink the wedding wine. She had asked the nanny to tell her all these in advance, but her husband didn't seem to care about it. Could it be that he already had someone else in his heart?
She looked at the door with a worried look on her face. Now she was the only one left in the room. It was so desolate and terrifying. She was afraid of such nights and didn't know how long she would have to stay with him.
The next morning, Gu Junyue obediently went to serve tea to Madam Cheng and Mr. Cheng. When they saw that it was not Jun Yao, they were shocked.
"Who are you?" Mr. Cheng stared at her face curiously. It's not like he had never seen Gu Junyao before. She was much more beautiful than the newcomer.
"Dad and Mom, I'm Jun Yue."
"Gu Junyue?"
The two elders' facial expressions were both filled with shock. They had clearly proposed to Gu Junyao, so how did it become Gu Junyue?
"Dad and Mom, you don't have to put on such expressions. Jun Yue knows that you want your husband to marry your sister, but Jun Yue thinks that Jun Yue is actually more suitable to be your daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Cheng was so surprised that she immediately stood up and asked her, "Does my son know about this?"
"My husband stayed in the study last night, so I didn't know. I asked the maid to invite him back tonight, and I don't know if he has gotten up now." Gu Junyue was mentally prepared, knowing that the two of them might not be able to accept it.
"this………"
Mrs. Cheng was speechless. Looking at the woman in front of her, although she was not as graceful and charming as her sister, she at least had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
"Master, this..." Madam Cheng looked at Master Cheng with embarrassment, but His Royal Highness Prince Zhao did not seem to have specified when asking them to marry a young lady from the Gu family. Anyway, the second young lady and the third young lady were sisters and it didn't matter.
"That's all."
Mr. Cheng completely compromised, drank the tea that Gu Junyue put up, and looked at Cheng Shaoyuan who walked in from outside the door. This kid finally came.
"Son! You're here at last." Mrs. Cheng waved to Cheng Shaoyuan, but was afraid that he would not be able to accept this fact for a while.
"Mom and Dad, I'm late, please don't blame me." Cheng Shaoyuan bowed, but happened to see Gu Junyue looking up at him. At that moment, he seemed to have seen the wrong person and stepped back.
"Why is it you?"
Cheng Shaoyuan looked at Gu Junyue in front of him with surprise, just a little curious, even though it didn't matter who the two sisters married, because he didn't love either of them.
"Husband." Gu Junyue called out this title skillfully, which showed that she had practiced it a lot in private.
"Ahem, that's enough. This is just a misunderstanding. Son, you have to treat Junyue well in the future. Although Junyue is just a concubine, there is no mistress in the mansion yet. Let her learn how to manage the accounting first."
After Madam Cheng said this, it was Gu Junyue who was surprised. Could it be that she could not marry Cheng Shaoyuan as his wife, but as a concubine? She looked at the two elders in fear and asked in confusion: "Dad, Mom, you carried me into the mansion in a sedan chair, why did you only let me be a concubine?"
"Hmph, letting your Miss Gu be a concubine is already a bargain for you. Do you still want to be the principal wife?" Mrs. Cheng said to her with a pale face.
Gu Junyue was quite shocked, but she was also happy to think that she could become his legal wife and live with him till old age.
On the other side of the screen, Gu Junyao was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath. She smashed all the precious utensils and vases in the house, and even threw her rouge and powder out into the yard. Mrs. Gu frowned when she saw this.
"Lan'er, why don't you try to stop her? Are you going to let the Second Miss get angry?" Madam Gu scolded. Lan'er and the other maids were guarding the door and did not dare to go in to disturb her. Gu Junyao was tired of scolding, so she sat on a chair and drank tea.
When Mrs. Gu went in, she found Miao Xin's face was swollen like a pig's head. She was kneeling on the side and sobbing. Looking at her who had been whipped so many times, she frowned. After all, she was still Jun Yue's close friend. Jun Yao was probably just venting his anger on her this time.
"Miao Xin, can you please tell me in detail how Jun Yue tied up Jun Yao?"
After Mrs. Gu asked about the whole story and learned the whole story, she walked over to Gu Junyao, patted her on the shoulder and said, "My dear daughter, don't be angry anymore. It's not worth it to hurt yourself."

"Mom! Are you still going to make the decision for me in this matter?!"
"Mother would like to make the decision for you, but how can I make the decision for you?"
Mrs. Gu was completely confused. It was her daughters who were marrying off, and she was in control of them all. What could she say?
"Mother! You are biased towards Jun Yue. She is stubborn and wants whatever she wants. I have always given in to her since she was a child. She has everything I have. Now, she is thinking about my ideal husband."
Gu Junyao gnashed her teeth in hatred and threw all the jewelry on the table onto Miaoxin's head, causing Miaoxin to burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, your sister will come back to see her in a few days, and she will definitely take Miaoxin away then. You beat Miaoxin like this, your sister will definitely feel bad if she knows."
"Mother! It's already this late, and you're still speaking for that bitch. If you hadn't spoiled her since she was a child, how could she be so lawless? It must be this bitch who gave her this bad idea. I'm going to beat her to death!"
Gu Junyao said this with gritted teeth, and rushed towards Miaoxin like a madman. Fortunately, Madam Gu held her back, otherwise she would have beaten Miaoxin to death.
"Second Miss, please spare me. Miaoxin really didn't know this happened...!"
Miao Xin raised her head with a bruised face and looked at Gu Junyao with a wronged expression, trying to clear herself of the matter. Madam Gu knew that if the master dared to do such a thing, the servants must have known about it, otherwise things would not have been done so smoothly.
"Okay, Miaoxin, you go back first. When the young lady comes back in a few days, you know what to say, right?"
Mrs. Gu didn't want a maid to sow discord between the two sisters, so they should unite.
"I understand. I will not tell anyone what happened today."
Miaoxin gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger. She still knew the rules of living in the mansion.
"If you know this, then leave immediately, so as not to upset the Second Miss."
