Chapter 234 Auspicious Time
But now, everyone has left, leaving her all alone.
In her imagination, nothing should be like this. Where did things go wrong? Her loved ones are leaving her one by one.
Aunt Qiao couldn't sleep the more she thought about it, and naturally, she developed insomnia.
In Yunxiang Courtyard, Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe had the best sleep they had in many years.
The next day, he didn't get out of bed until noon.
Originally, the two thought they had overslept and would be scolded by the old lady, but when they entered the house, all that awaited them was the old lady's smiling face and the food prepared for them.
Gu Yuxin choked up during the meal, her eyes filled with tears, while Gu Yuhe burst into tears on the spot, a sight that evoked pity in everyone.
Life went on uneventfully until the day Gu Yingjie was to get married.
Early in the morning, Gu Shuyan was dressed up by two maids and dragged to the old lady's courtyard.
Today is the day the old lady is marrying her granddaughter-in-law, so she is dressed solemnly. Her dark blue carved jacket makes her look even more noble.
"Today is your brother's wedding day. As young ladies of the Marquis's mansion, you must show the demeanor of noble ladies and not lose face, understand?"
The old lady looked solemn. Although these children were usually well-behaved, none of them had grown up in the Marquis's mansion since childhood. In particular, the two children from the second son's family had never attended any banquets. The old lady couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
"Grandmother, don't worry. Your granddaughters know what's important and will definitely not bring shame to our family."
As the eldest sister, Gu Shuyan was the first to respond, and Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe quickly echoed her.
Having said all that needed to be said, the old lady said, "Then go and greet the guests! The wedding procession should be back soon."
After Gu Shuyan and her two younger sisters took their leave, they went directly to the front hall.
According to the auspicious time, the bridal sedan chair should have arrived at the door by now, but the group of people waited and waited outside the door, and the auspicious time was almost over, but the bridal sedan chair still hadn't arrived.
"Xu Feng, go and see why the bridal sedan chair hasn't arrived yet."
Gu Shuyan whispered an instruction to Xu Feng, and Xu Feng immediately slipped away from the Marquis's residence.
A moment later, Xu Feng hurriedly returned to report: "Miss, the bridal sedan chair has been blocked on the road."
Who was stopping them?
Gu Shuyan narrowed her eyes and immediately smelled an unusual scent.
"It was a woman, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed simply and did not look like she came from a wealthy family."
"Oh? Did they say anything?"
"They said the second young master should take responsibility, and that he was a heartless man. My subordinates arrived late and didn't hear much of the details."
Xu Feng honestly gave his account, while Gu Shuyan's expression turned icy cold.
"Take a few servants with you first, I'll be there in a bit."
As she spoke, Gu Shuyan stepped forward and whispered a few words in Gu Jin's ear. After seeing Gu Jin nod, Gu Shuyan quietly led the two maids away from the Marquis's residence.
As soon as Gu Shuyan approached the bridal sedan chair, she heard a series of pitiful sobs. Upon closer inspection, she saw a plainly dressed woman standing in front of the sedan chair, crying.
