Chapter 537 Leaving Home
As expected of the eldest princess!
Gu Shuyan initially thought she had made a mistake, but it turned out to be something that really belonged to the eldest princess.
Gu Shuyan remembered that in her previous life, this set of jewelry was eventually taken away by the emperor and placed in his bedroom.
Gu Shuyan had seen it by chance in the emperor's bedchamber and found it rather strange, almost wanting to get closer to take a look. It was only later, when Lu Youming told her not to touch the headdress, that Gu Shuyan realized it belonged to the eldest princess.
Now, after all these twists and turns, Gu Shuyan never expected that this set of jewelry would end up being delivered to her.
Seeing Gu Shuyan in a daze, Xu Shan'er nudged her with her hand, "Sister Shuyan, are you also curious about where this jewelry came from? I asked Brother Yun, but he only told me to keep it a secret and wouldn't tell me how he got it."
After Xu Shan'er finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh, and Gu Shuyan found her regretful expression quite amusing.
"You're just too curious." Gu Shuyan poked her head, then waved her hand and took out the wedding dress.
She knew that Yun Yichen had sent the items so that she could wear them today, but since Yun Yichen's identity could not be revealed, this set of jewelry could not be shown to others.
"Yufei, put the things inside away. We'll come back to get them in three days when we return to our parents' home."
Gu Shuyan gave the instructions, and Yu Fei immediately stepped forward to close the box, then called two maids to carry it to the small storeroom in the north courtyard.
With Xu Shan'er's help, Gu Shuyan quickly put on her elaborate wedding dress. Looking at the exquisite woman in the mirror, Gu Shuyan almost thought for a moment that it wasn't her.
“Our Shu’er is so beautiful. If she were older, she would definitely be even more beautiful than she is now.”
Ji Shi had entered the room at some point, and looking at Gu Shuyan's beautifully dressed appearance, she couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.
"Mother!" Gu Shuyan saw Ji Shi standing behind her in the mirror, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Don't cry! Today is your big day, it won't look good if you cry and ruin your makeup."
As Ji spoke, she took a handkerchief to wipe away Gu Shuyan's tears, but Gu Shuyan herself couldn't help but sob.
Although her daughter was married next door, once she stepped out of this door, she would be a member of the Yun family. Even if she wanted to come back, she would have to consider her husband's family. Thinking of her daughter, whom she had just found, going to another family again in the blink of an eye, Ji couldn't help but shed tears.
"My mother told me not to cry, but you started crying first." As Gu Shuyan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Meanwhile, the old lady and Madam Ji arrived at the North Courtyard one after another. Looking at Gu Shuyan, who was already dressed in her wedding gown, the old lady couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
She had been in the Gu family for decades, watching her son and grandson get married, but this was the first time she had ever seen a bride being sent off.
"Yan, once you're in your husband's family, you must discuss everything with him. You must not act as you do at home."
The old lady grasped Gu Shuyan's hand. This was a moment she had been looking forward to for many years, but as it came time to send her granddaughter off to her wedding, the old lady was reluctant to part with her.
Madam Ji continued to sob, and the old lady joined in. Seeing everyone's reluctance to part, everyone present couldn't help but choke up as well.
"Grandmother, rest assured, your granddaughter will never disgrace the Gu family's daughters," Gu Shuyan assured, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
Seeing this, Madam Ji couldn't help but step forward and say, "Shu'er, remember to visit the General's Mansion more often when you have time. Don't stop coming to see your aunt just because you've gotten married."
Madam Ji always treated Gu Shuyan as her own daughter, and Gu Shuyan often went to the General's Mansion for short stays. However, after getting married, it was naturally not as convenient as when she was a young girl.
"Don't worry, Aunt, Shu'er will definitely go."
Everyone chatted amongst themselves, cherishing this last moment of Gu Shuyan being a daughter, until someone outside came to announce that the wedding procession had arrived, and then everyone gradually walked into the courtyard.
After Gu Shuyan and her daughter had left the house alone, Madam Ji took out a small notebook from her bosom.
Gu Shuyan naturally knew what it was, because Ji Shi had given her the same thing in her previous life. However, she didn't understand anything back then, and threw it away after arriving at the bridal chamber, which ultimately made her a laughingstock at the Third Prince's residence.
"Shu'er, keep this safe. You can see it when you get to your husband's house."
Ji stuffed the things into Gu Shuyan's hands, while Gu Shuyan blushed with embarrassment and quickly walked out.
Soon, a commotion arose outside, with Gu Renjie and Ji Wenxuan being the most prominent figures. Their beloved younger sister was about to get married, and the two were determined to create difficulties for the groom.
The two thought they had come up with something difficult enough, but to their surprise, no matter how difficult it was for Yun Yichen, he could easily resolve it.
Seeing that the group had arrived outside her boudoir, Gu Shuyan quickly returned to the bed and sat down, letting Yufei cover her head with a veil.
"Miss, should we stop them?"
According to custom, the bride can ask the groom a question, and the groom's answer is meant to help the couple get to know each other better.
Gu Shuyan and Yun Yichen had met countless times and understood each other thoroughly, so they were too lazy to bother with these empty formalities.
"If you've accepted the red envelope, just let them in. It wouldn't be good if they missed the auspicious time."
After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, a group of maids hurriedly ran to the door and closed it tightly.
Outside the door, Yun Yichen had passed the final test set by Gu Renjie and Ji Wenxuan and was happily pushing the door open when he discovered that it was blocked.
Then a maid opened a window nearby and said, "If the young master wants to marry the young lady, he'll have to get past us first before he can take the bride away."
Yun Yichen had been blocked all the way and was already getting anxious. Now, with only one door separating them, these little girls were still causing trouble.
Yun Yichen glanced back at Zhong Lin, who immediately understood his master's meaning. He walked towards the window, and before the maids could react, Zhong Lin jumped in through the window, and the group of maids were quickly pulled aside by the guards like chickens.
"You cheated!" After being pulled away, Yu Fei returned to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
However, she was no match for Zhong Lin. Even though she clung to the door desperately, Zhong Lin pulled it open with one hand.
Then a group of people escorted the groom into the inner room. Under everyone's gaze, Gu Renjie slowly walked up to Gu Shuyan.
"Shu'er, your elder brother is seeing you off at your wedding!" Gu Renjie whispered in Gu Shuyan's ear with a complicated expression before turning around and carrying her off the bed.
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Gu Shuyan's soft voice faded into the noisy crowd, but Gu Renjie heard it clearly. He paused, then a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
