Fragrance Garden.
Ah Li didn't know what Shen Anrong and Du Wanrou said in the end, and of course she didn't care about these two people.
They were just plotting together how to plot against her. She just had to be careful and not give them any chances, then she could remain unchanged in the face of any changes.
Ali slept soundly that night.
Early the next morning, Gu Qichuan was still waiting in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After getting dressed, Ah Li went out with him. The two of them had a lot of things to buy.
In ancient times, the three books and six ceremonies at dawn and dusk were quite complicated, and many things had to be done by the bride and groom themselves.
So this was the last relaxing day for the two of us.
Gu Qichuan cherishes it very much, and he asks Aunt Yucui and Songbai to be in charge of purchasing matters.
The two of them went to a secluded house together. Gu Qichuan now liked to be alone with Ali.
Ah Li also had to apply medicine and give acupuncture to Gu Qichuan, so the time they spent together was not boring.
At dusk, they returned home with their respective purchases.
That night, Aunt Yucui taught Ali how to show off her wedding dress.
Ali is very skillful, but after all, she has never learned embroidery since she was a child, so this thing is still quite difficult.
Ali tried for a long time, but finally decided to embroider only the doves herself and ask an embroiderer to do everything else.
Gu Qichuan found twenty skilled embroiderers, who worked day and night to help Ali make the wedding dress.
At the same time, the process of recruiting a wife for Najina is already in steady progress.
Even though Gu Qichuan was sitting in a wheelchair, he still went to hunt a pair of wild geese himself and gave them to Ah Li.
Everyone in the capital knew that General Gu attached great importance to his new wife.
Ah-Li is also busy with her upcoming marriage, and Cui Yuewei doesn't teach her the various etiquette and things to pay attention to after marriage.
Fortunately, Aunt Yucui knew everything, and she had taught Ali everything she needed to know.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days before their wedding.
During this period, Ali would visit Qi Chuan every two days and give him acupuncture and medicine.
According to custom, the bride and groom cannot see each other three days before the wedding.
Ali was reluctant in her heart, but she had to adapt to the local customs.
Two days before the wedding.
Ah Li just woke up in the morning.
Cui Yuewei took Shen Anrong to Fenfangyuan.
Ali hasn't seen the mother and daughter for a few days.
She looked at the two of them and asked, "Madam, Miss Shen, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Ali, you are going to get married soon, why are you so distant from your mother?"
Ali smiled and looked at Mrs. Shen with an almost mocking look, meaning, don't you understand why I am distancing myself from you?
"I don't want to play tricks with you now!"
Shen Anrong's hands curled up slightly, but she still had a smile on her face. She took a step forward and said, "Ali, it was my fault before. Don't be angry with me. You are getting married soon. I am willing to accompany you to the suburbs of Beijing to burn incense and pray for blessings. I wish you and your wife a happy marriage."
Ah Li chuckled and said, "No."
Shen Anrong never expected that Ali would reject her directly!
She was so shocked that her expression didn't change in time and she froze on the spot.
Cui Yuewei took two steps forward, "Ah Li, your sisters from your natal family are accompanying you to burn incense. This is the best blessing the family can give you. Are you really not going to go?"
"If your father knew about this, he would be angry too."
Ah Li chuckled, "What would really make my father angry is that you two plotted against me halfway. If he knew that I, the wife of a brigadier general, had suffered at the hands of you two, or had lost face and could not get married, what do you think my father would do to you two?"
Ah Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them, "Also don't treat others as fools. It's clearly a trap, why should I jump into it? No."
Ali picked up the teacup and took a sip. Actually, she didn't like drinking tea, she liked drinking sugar water.
"You! Ah Li, I have shown my full sincerity in wanting to make peace with you, why are you so aggressive?"
"Get on good terms with your sisters and family members. When you go to the General's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be your support."
"I don't know what you are arguing about." Shen Anrong said helplessly.
Ah Li smiled and said, "I've already said it before, we are enemies, the kind that cannot live together. I've also prepared a generous gift for you two, I hope you like it."
"Ali, what did you do?" Cui Yuewei asked nervously.
Ah Li smiled and said, "Now is not the time to reveal the answer. You will know in a few days."
"If my wedding goes well, then the gift will have less of an impact."
"If anything goes wrong with my wedding and I'm even a little unhappy, then the effect of this gift will be doubled."
After Ali finished speaking, she raised her hand, and Songbai and others appeared directly in front of the two of them.
"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen, please."
"Ali, you really dare." Shen Anrong stomped his feet in anger, but was eventually asked to leave by Songbai and the others.
Shen Anrong couldn't understand. It was obvious that Ah Li and General Gu had only met for the first time, so why was Ah Li so sure that General Gu would always protect her.
General Gu even gave his personal guards to Ali. Could it be that they have a past relationship?
Shen Anrong suddenly thought of something and stood up quickly.
"An Rong, where are you going?" Cui Yuewei asked hurriedly.
Shen Anrong left the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.
Du Wanrou has also been very anxious recently.
She has been trying to find ways to ruin the marriage between Gu Qichuan and A Li, but no matter which angle she approaches, she is strictly guarded against. Even Lord Du has been repeatedly reported in the court.
The Du family was in a state of panic. Du Wanrou was angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
She knew that Gu Qichuan really wanted to do something and no one could stop him.
Shen Anrong's sudden visit gave Du Wanrou a glimmer of hope. Could it be that Shen Anrong's plan had already been successfully implemented?
"Please come in."
Shen Anrong was brought into Du Wanrou's room by a maid.
"Is it done?"
Shen Anrong shook his head, "She refused directly."
"I have something I can't figure out, so I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Du Wanrou lost interest instantly.
"Do you know what happened between Ah-Li and General Gu?"
"It's impossible for them to have had any past." Du Wanrou said, "I have always been paying attention to the people around Brother Chuan. I am sure there is no woman. You have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't you know where Shen Ali is?"
Shen Anrong frowned, "Shen Ali really didn't have the chance to come into contact with General Gu. She basically stayed in the mansion. The only time she went out was when she went to burn incense. Could it be that she got to know General Gu that time?"
"That's not right. If they were just casual acquaintances or General Gu saved her life, how could he trust and tolerate Ah Li so much?"
Shen Anrong couldn't figure it out, and Du Wanrou naturally couldn't figure it out either.
"Now is not the time to think about this." The light in Du Wanrou's eyes became colder and harder.
"Since we've tried so many methods and nothing works, let's just kill her."
