Today's Gu family's wedding banquet is full of unexpected events.
First, the third son Pei from the Duke Cheng'en's mansion came into the mansion like a groom, stirring up trouble. Then the groom disappeared, leaving his brothers in the clan to greet the bride on his behalf.
All these things happened one after another in just half a day, which naturally alarmed Gu Zhiyuan and others in the front hall.
The Gu family's banquet was attended not only by famous and powerful people, but also by nobles in the palace.
Gu Zhiyuan's face turned dark when he heard that Lu Wenze did not come to pick up the bride in person.
Although he had arranged this marriage without telling his elder brother who was far away in the border area, he sincerely wanted to get married.
He apologized to the guests with a cold face and went to Gu Qingyuan's yard.
In the courtyard, many guests had already gathered to watch the fun.
The people standing in the courtyard to welcome the bride, although they were also dressed in red, were a little timid.
Lu Jiawulang blushed and looked at Gu Qingyuan, who was covering her face with a fan in the corridor, and said stutteringly,
"Ayuan...sister-in-law...brother had something unexpected happen to him, so he asked me to welcome you into the house on his behalf..."
The people present looked at Gu Qingyuan in tacit understanding, expecting her response. Should she get on the sedan chair? Or...
However, just for a moment, a line of soldiers suddenly broke into the wedding banquet. Like a ladle of cold water poured into a boiling iron pot, the noisy crowd quickly became quiet.
As the host, Gu Zhiyuan was at a loss for a moment. After regaining consciousness, he immediately stood up and asked,
"The Gu family is very happy today. May I ask why you are here?"
A fat and happy middle-aged woman walked out of it, walked to the corridor without saying a word, pushed aside the original Xi Niang, picked up Gu Qingyuan on her back and walked out.
"What are you doing? Langlang Bairi, are you robbing someone? Do you know where this is?"
When Gu Zhiyuan saw Gu Qingyuan being carried away by someone, he gasped in fright and angrily tried to stop the person.
A group of soldiers came forward and surrounded Gu Zhiyuan.
At this time, a man walked slowly from the courtyard gate to everyone.
He is tall and tall, dressed in exquisite Chinese clothes, and his red color is eye-catching. His unassuming attitude is just like that of a groom who is welcoming a bride today.
He looked sternly, his eyes swept from Lu Wulang to Gu Zhiyuan, and let out a short chuckle,
"I heard that Lord Lu didn't come to welcome the bride, so I came to help and be the son-in-law of the Gu family."
His tone was soft and slow, like a warm breeze, causing ripples in the courtyard.
In Gu Zhiyuan's ears, it was like the most vicious curse in the world.
What's the point of helping? This is causing trouble and stealing a bride.
Gu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
What a third son of the Pei family, how dare you play with the Gu family like this.
You simply don’t know what to say and are acting recklessly!
"Captain Pei, today is a big day for the Gu and Lu families. May I ask why the young master did this and messed up our wedding banquet?"
"I wonder if Your Majesty knows that the Governor is doing such nonsense..."
Gu Zhiyuan asked through gritted teeth, and moved the emperor out, hoping that Pei Jinting, the god of plague, would show his noble hand.
Pei Jinting glanced at Lu Wulang who was like a quail in the courtyard, and explained patiently,
"Your Majesty has long been looking forward to postponing my son's marriage. Mr. Lu does not want to be the son-in-law of the Gu family, but I am willing."
Gu Zhiyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, collapsed and said tremblingly,
"How can the Gu family tolerate such a son-in-law like you? Pei San, you are really bullying me!"
No wonder this bitch has been coming to my door frequently these days. It turns out he has this evil intention!
Pei Jinting, who had a gentle expression just now, suddenly shrank his eyes and walked in front of Gu Zhiyuan in a few steps. His eyes became sinister and there was a chilling smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Gu, do you need to sell your daughter to a family to be your husband-in-law?"
Gu Zhiyuan looked at Pei Jinting with wide eyes, his face turned pale, and then he heard Pei Jinting say maliciously,
"The Lu family can help you cover up the scandal, and I can also help you make it public..."
With joy and excitement, Gu Qingyuan was put into a sedan chair and swayed for a while until the car curtain was opened.
Then, she seemed like a wandering spirit, and like a bystander, she watched her and Pei Jinting worshiping heaven and earth.
I always feel that everything is very unreal, as if I am dreaming.
Wearing the gorgeous, wide and heavy wedding dress for a long time made Gu Qingyuan feel a little uncomfortable.
On the couch not far away, Pei Jinting lay half-lying tiredly, with his clothes slightly spread out.
"Gu Yuanyuan, I have kept my promise and even took the blame for all my mistakes."
His voice was unhurried, as if he had suffered many grievances, and he listed them all.
Then, he paused and looked at her with raised eyebrows,
"Now the whole of Kyoto should know that I have become your husband...then I will take the rights that a husband should have."
Pei Jinting stared at her with an intriguing look in his eyes, as if there was a wolf hiding and could devour her at any time.
Gu Qingyuan held her forehead, she really didn't expect Pei Jinting to make such a big noise today.
However, what Pei Jinting said about her husband's rights made her blush a little and look away, which was quite difficult to resist.
With his hands behind his back, Pei Jinting walked silently to the wedding bed. He placed one hand on the bedrail and the other on Gu Qingyuan's shoulder.
Gu Qingyuan blinked her blank eyelids, and Pei Jinting took her lips in his mouth and kissed her gently through a thin round fan.
The pomegranate flowers on the fan were wetted and became more and more delicate.
There was a knock on the door and it was half pushed open,
"Sir, Mr. Lu and his men have surrounded our mansion and are demanding that the eldest daughter of the Gu family be handed over."
