Just when Xiao Ling'er was dozing off, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside.
Someone called out, "The groom is here to pick up the bride."
At this time, Xiao Yuhao came in with his lips pursed. Before Xiao Ling'er could see clearly whether the bright color that flashed at the corner of his eyes was tears, his eyes were covered by a red veil.
She really wanted to ask something, but she remembered that the matchmaker had told her not to speak, so she held herself back.
Xiao Ling'er was helped to the hall, and then walked to a pair of familiar shoe tips. She knelt on her knees and kowtowed in farewell before being helped up again.
As she turned around, her hand was grabbed by someone, and her mother's familiar voice rang out: "Lingling, the Xiao family will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want. We will always be here."
Xiao Ling'er felt a little sore in the nose and her eyes were slightly hot. Her mother did not nag her about how to behave after she went to her husband's house.
A'niang's words were telling her that if she suffered injustice, she didn't have to endure it silently, because she still had a way out.
Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but release her mental power and saw the look of reluctance on her mother's face and the traces of tears under her eyes.
The matchmaker and the nanny beside them frowned slightly. They felt that Mu Xiya's farewell speech just now was not very proper, but in the end they said nothing.
After being helped up, Xiao Ling'er stood aside waiting. She didn't know what she was waiting for.
If she was waiting for the groom, her mental power would have already seen Gu Yunting waiting outside the courtyard gate.
He was riding on a tall and handsome horse, wearing a bright red groom's suit and with that unique red hair, he looked dazzling.
He seemed to be in a very good mood today. The expression on his face was different from usual. His eyebrows were relaxed and the corners of his mouth were upturned.
His eyes were fixed on the gate of the courtyard. Behind him was a tall and luxurious wedding dress and a wedding procession.
At this time, someone nearby shouted something, but it was too noisy outside to hear clearly. I only saw Gu Yunting dismounting from his horse and walking towards the gate.
He knocked on the gate, and after it opened, he was followed by a group of people including Gu Bei, Gu Nan, Gu Xi, and Gu Dong into the yard.
Everyone in the team was holding or hugging a gift. After Gu Yunting entered the yard, he went straight into the hall.
To the surprise of all the guests, he walked up to Mu Xiya, knelt down and kowtowed three times to her.
Someone gasped, and the matchmaker and the nanny's expressions changed. They had not expected the second prince to kneel down.
His status as a prince was obvious, so he didn't need to kneel down. Not to mention the prince, even officials with higher status than the girl's would not kneel down to the girl's parents.
After Gu Yunting said goodbye, he stood up. The matchmaker picked up the hand towel and handed it to him. He took it, moved closer along the hand towel, and directly took Xiao Ling'er's hand.
Seeing this, the matchmaker and the nanny turned their heads slightly to the side. Forget it, many procedures today were not carried out according to the rules anyway.
Let him change it as he pleases. Looking at the Second Prince's expression, he really wants to just carry the bride away, let alone hold her hand.
Xiao Ling'er looked at the pair of slender and beautiful hands, held them with her backhand, and stroked the palm with her little finger. She noticed that Gu Yunting's body stiffened slightly.
Just as Gu Yunting was about to lead her out of the courtyard, Xiao Yuhao called out from behind, "Brother-in-law, will you treat my sister well for the rest of your life?"
Gu Yunting didn't look back and answered firmly with two words: "I will!"
"Okay, I believe you!" Xiao Yuhao replied.
