Chapter 136 Being Gossiped About
Chen Huailiang sighed, "Dad doesn't want you to go back either, but the other party is the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. This marriage is over. Who will dare to marry you in the future? Besides, Gu Ziyun is the runner-up after all. It will be difficult to find another runner-up."
It is not difficult to find the second place in the imperial examination. The difficult part is, first, he must not be engaged, second, he must have a clean family background, and third, at least he cannot be too old or ugly, he must be good-looking, right?
Chen Xinlian thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed difficult. Thinking about the future, perhaps, she really had no choice but to marry Gu Ziyun.
"But that Mu Yanluo..."
Chen Huailiang's expression was slightly cold: "You are the mistress, are you afraid of a concubine? Besides, she was born in a brothel. You can find a reason to beat her to death or sell her off. It's all up to you. Besides, every man has three wives and four concubines."
Chen Huailiang has two concubines in his mansion, not to mention the emperor's harem. Big families all value the prosperity of offspring, so isn't it normal to have concubines?
Chen Xinlian bit her lip and finally nodded: "My daughter knows."
Apart from Gu Ziyun, there seems to be no better choice.
Therefore, Chen Xinlian had no choice but to return to the Marquis' Mansion and continue the wedding.
However, some of the guests had already left, and the rest wanted to leave after waiting for a long time without any response. However, Gu Changqing came out to greet them again, and Lin Wanhui also took the women's hands and led them to the table, so the meal had to continue.
A maid came over to invite Su Jin to come over. Su Jin just thought it was funny and waved her hand: "I'm not feeling well. I won't go. Let Lin Wanhui take care of it."
Things have gotten so bad, why go? Do you want to be asked questions and laughed at?
Su Jin would not go. She had been in poor health anyway, so she might as well continue pretending to be sick.
However, she did not go, and the result was that Lin Wanhui was both happy and unhappy.
What makes her happy, of course, is that some people don't come, so she, as the mother, can come out and show off, greeting the guests here, instructing the maids and servants to serve well there, and she is busy serving her own son happily.
As for being unhappy, it was naturally because she felt that Su Jin did not take her and her son seriously. How could a mistress not come out to greet the guests?
Lin Wanhui is so contradictory, sometimes happy and sometimes unhappy.
However, most people still expressed that they could understand this matter. After all, it was getting late, and they heard that the eldest lady was indeed not in good health. Besides, weren’t Gu Zhao and Zou Shi here either?
Older people can’t stand the hassle, so isn’t it fine as long as they are there when the ceremony is over?
Some people are sympathetic, while others deliberately make sarcastic remarks.
"The Madam is deliberately not coming out, right? Is she thinking that the groom has brought shame to her as a mother?"
"Mrs. Lin, you're not having a good time either, alas."
There are always a few gossipers everywhere, talking nonsense here and there. Lin Wanhui rolled her eyes in time, acknowledging what the women said.
"But what's going on between Brother Yun and Mu Yanluo?"
"Oh, I heard that Mu Yanluo had a difficult delivery today. Did she give birth? A son or a daughter. Miss Lin's son is getting married, and her grandson is already in the bag. She is so blessed!"
"Isn't Mu Yanluo Gu Zixuan's lover? When did she get together with your son? Tell me quickly."
People who gossip are naturally talkative and love to gossip. Lin Wanhui had just nodded in satisfaction, but now her face showed embarrassment and disgust, and she couldn't wait to get up and leave.
But unfortunately, they had already started talking, so how could the other party let her go? When he saw Lin Wanhui was about to get up, he grabbed her tightly and refused to let go.
"Hey, tell me quickly!"
Lin Wanhui: …
Talk, talk, talk bullshit!
She hasn't had the time to ask Gu Ziyun about this matter yet. She's still thinking of waiting until after the wedding to discuss everything. If you ask her, she doesn't know either!
Lin Wanhui was embarrassed and quickly winked at Mother Li. Mother Li found an excuse to call her away, and Lin Wanhui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, why is it that Gu Zixuan's lover has to die? This little whore must have seduced my brother Yun after failing to seduce Brother Xuan!!"
Lin Wanhui cursed Mu Yanluo a thousand times in her heart. She turned her head and saw Gu Ziyun was also greeting the guests. Although it was not as lively as at the beginning, it was still quite glorious.
Lin Wanhui comforted herself in her heart, then gritted her teeth, and left, making the excuse that it was late.
After three rounds of drinks, Gu Ziyun walked towards the backyard, finally letting go of the worry in his heart.
As long as Chen Xinlian can come back, anything is fine.
He pushed open the door, stared at the flickering red candle in the room, looked at the figure sitting quietly on the bed, and finally let out a long sigh.
Although there were some twists and turns today, it was still going smoothly.
As for Mu Yanluo, this troublesome girl, just leave her alone for a while. No matter what, you must please Chen Xinlian.
Thinking of this, he immediately perked up his energy and walked in with Xiao Lian.
"My wife..."
“Bang!”
Chen Xinlian suddenly pulled off her veil and stared at Gu Ziyun: "Tonight, you sleep on the floor!"
"My wife!"
Gu Ziyun looked aggrieved. Chen Xinlian sneered, "Do you think I really think highly of you? You are just a concubine's daughter. I only think highly of you because you passed the imperial examination. You have to understand that the person I originally wanted to marry was your brother. He was the legitimate son of a marquis. He was useless before, but now, hmph, he is no worse than you!"
When Chen Xinlian ridiculed Gu Zixuan for being incompetent, Gu Ziyun was still laughing on the side. But now, he was the one being ridiculed in person. Gu Ziyun felt ashamed and furious.
But he couldn't get angry, so he could only smile and say: "Whatever my lady says, that's it. But don't worry, my lady, I will definitely be more promising than my elder brother in the future. I will definitely fight for a first-class imperial decree for you."
Hearing this, Chen Xinlian's expression improved a little. She said coldly: "I'm tired. Here, your quilt, make it and sleep on it yourself. If you can't handle that woman outside, you will never get to sleep with her in your life!"
After saying that, Chen Xinlian covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep, leaving Gu Ziyun alone, his face becoming even gloomier.
This bad guy Mu Yanluo!
At this moment, Mu Yanluo narrowly saved a life.
She was born prematurely, and during her pregnancy, she first did heavy work in Baihua Tower. Later, she was redeemed by Gu Zixuan. Although she had someone to serve her, she was worried about Gu Ziyun, and her mood was up and down every day. In addition, Gu Ziyun's wedding was getting excited again.
In short, all kinds of things stimulated Mu Yanluo's heart, causing her entire pregnancy to be unsuccessful and leading to premature birth.
Fortunately, Gu Zixuan hired a skilled midwife and invited Imperial Physician Zhang, and Mu Yanluo was able to save her life, and both mother and child were safe.
Mu Yanluo looked pale after waking up.
The room was still filled with the lingering smell of blood. The little baby was wrinkled and looked small and ugly because of premature birth. The crying sound was not loud, but she didn't care about the child. She just looked up and grabbed the maid, expectantly: "Zi, Ziyun is here?"
