Chapter 170 Wedding
"County Lady, the Zhou family already knows this news. Do we need to take special care of them?" Nong Chun asked.
Gu Ruanci thought for a moment and said, "No need. Anyway, how strong their relationship is has nothing to do with us. They are busy now, so they won't have the chance to disrupt my brother and sister-in-law's wedding..."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, Nongchun nodded repeatedly.
Zang Xia thought of something else: "And what about the eldest princess..."
"Don't worry about her. She has enough to deal with with the Ye family's affairs now. She just opened her own residence, and the Emperor and Empress are keeping an eye on her. And yet something like this still happened. It shouldn't end so easily."
"That's great. I wonder why this princess has such strong malice towards the county lady..."
Zang Xia muttered in passing that anyone with a little sensitivity could sense Lu Shuyi's attitude towards Gu Ruanci.
Nong Chun said, "It's all because of Lu Wenxue, the daughter of Prince Duan. These royal family members think they are superior, and when a woman with real talent like our county lady suddenly appears, they feel a sense of crisis and jealousy. Besides, isn't Lu Wenxue very close to Zhou Qinzhu? There's no need to talk about the things behind this..."
After a brief analysis, the two of them had already explained clearly the difficult women they faced after returning to Dizhou.
"Yes, it's Zhou Qinzhu. The incident involving the third son of the Zhou family is related to her. When she showed up at the Grand Princess's banquet, I thought I was seeing things. Who gave her the nerve to attend the banquet after someone had just died?"
Zangxia had no way to answer Nongchun's sigh.
Gu Ruanci watched their analysis with a smile on his face. After all, these were people he had brought up, and it was quite interesting to listen to their analysis.
"This eldest princess treated the county lady like that before, and even after she knew the county lady's identity, she still wanted her to treat her illness. At that time, I already felt that her character was definitely problematic. Look at her face now, once she was rejected, it's really annoying. If such a person wasn't born into the royal family, who would be willing to pamper her..."
After Zang Xia finished speaking, Nong Chundu quickly said, "Alright, we can't continue. If we continue, we'll cause trouble for the county lady..."
During this period, they witnessed with their own eyes the intrigues among the noble ladies of Dizhou, and each of them had a sophisticated mind.
Sometimes they thought that the lives of these noble ladies were worse than theirs, and they were calculating all day long.
The dog in the eldest princess's mansion bit the minister's daughter, and the emperor and the empress could not pretend that this incident had never happened.
Many supplements in the palace were given to the Ye family, but this also led to rumors that Ye Lingyue had scars on her body and even her appearance was affected, which directly affected her marriage prospects.
The Ye family originally didn't have much of an advantage among the aristocratic families. If they hadn't married the daughter of Princess Jincheng, they would have fallen even further. Furthermore, Ye Lingyue was from the eldest wife's family, unrelated to the business world. Now, their other in-law, the Zhou family, was also struggling. This was definitely not good news for the Ye family.
The emperor once again ordered the eldest princess to be under house arrest and not to hold any banquets within a year.
As for the dog, nothing happened to it after the eldest princess protected it, but the maid who sprinkled water on Wu Yixuan disappeared.
Everyone understood what was going on with her.
He was able to be bribed in the Grand Princess's Mansion, so one day he might even dare to poison his master for profit.
Gu Ruanci had no sympathy for the maid's experience, nor did she have time to sympathize with her because her elder brother and sister-in-law's wedding was coming.
At the wedding, the eldest prince and the second prince both volunteered to be part of the wedding procession. Together with the three brothers of the Gu family, they accepted the Wu family's blocking of the door. Afterwards, they drank a lot of wine and composed several poems before letting Gu Yutang take them away.
When we returned to the Gu family's wedding hall, it was already dark.
Wu Yixuan was wearing a wedding dress, completely covered by a veil, and was actually a little nervous.
After a whole day of tossing and turning, she was very tired, but she was also very excited to marry the person she admired. The constant struggle between the two conflicting feelings made her even more tense.
During the wedding ceremony, Gu Ruanci looked at her elder brother who had finally come back with a bit of white hair, and her elder sister-in-law who behaved in a dignified manner, and she was already imagining what the children of these two people would look like in the future.
Gu Congyun and Zhuang Hefeng naturally laughed from beginning to end. They were extremely satisfied with this marriage.
Whether in terms of family background, character or appearance, Wu Yixuan is the best among the noble ladies in Dizhou City.
After the newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber, the guests were all having a great time and were still toasting each other there.
During the banquet, Gu Ruanci moved around among the female guests. The eldest prince Lu Enyou looked at her from time to time, which attracted Lu Enlian's attention.
"Brother, you seem to be particularly concerned about the Chaoyang County Master..."
Lu Enyou did not admit it directly, but said: "After knowing that she was Xiao Yixian and Qin Ji, I always felt that she had some other identity, so I took a few more glances at her."
Lu Enlian didn't expose her, and said, "That's true..."
Lu Enyan, who was sitting at the same table with them, seemed to have a glint in his eyes, but it was fleeting, as no one expected him to come in person.
He didn't say anything, and the people who toasted him were very tactful. They knew that his health didn't allow it, so they just smiled and passed it off.
While the wedding was so lively here, back at the Grand Princess's Mansion, Lu Shuyi felt like she was the most frustrated person in the world.
The person she had tried so hard to get was actually easily obtained by that dead girl from the Wu family.
Gu Yutang, you are really heartless.
Back then, I was completely in love with you. Even if the whole Dizhou City was laughing at me, I didn't care. But you firmly said that you didn't want to waste my time and that you were not worthy of me. Doesn't that mean you looked down on me?
"Father, what's the house arrest? It's just because you're worried that I'll ruin the Gu family's wedding. Is it necessary to be so defensive against your own daughter? As expected, children without a mother are not welcomed. I'm just not as good as Lu Hanyue..."
After hearing this, the maidservant next to her was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Princess, please be careful with your words..."
Lu Shuyi threw the wine glass aside, her eyes blurry with drunkenness.
"What are you talking about? I've been locked up here and I'm not allowed to hold any banquets for a year. Who will still remember me after a year?"
The maid quickly said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is not confining you to your room for a year. He will let you out in a few days. Although we can't hold a banquet, you can attend it..."
Lu Shuyi's eyes became even more confused, and she asked, "Why didn't you invite me to the Gu family's wedding?"
