She asked in a low voice.
In response to her, there was a soft laugh. In the lively wedding hall, no one else noticed, only she heard it.
The laughter was filled with joy.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth in response.
As if sensing her smile, the person holding her hand tightened his grip.
Their heads gently b.u.mped into each other.
“Escort the bride to the bridal chamber.”
Feng Tianlan escorted Gu Qingluan to the bridal chamber.
Outside, people urged him to go out and offer toasts.
Before leaving, Feng Tianlan gently held Gu Qingluan’s hand and said, “If you’re hungry, eat; if you’re tired, sleep, no need to follow the procedure.”
The maids waiting in the room exchanged glances, their eyes filled with smiles.
The groom was really good to their mistress.
After the groom was pulled away by others, the bridal chamber became quiet.
Bo He said, “Mistress, the groom has left. You haven’t had food or water for half a day. Would you like something to drink?”
Gu Qingluan immediately lifted the red veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
Perhaps it was because the room was bathed in red, her cheeks appeared rosy, making her look enchanting.
The maids who had followed her from Shallow Clouds Residence, accustomed to her face, were still captivated by her beauty.
“Mistress, you are so beautiful. When the groom sees you tonight, he will surely be enchanted.”
Qianxi said with a mischievous smile.
Gu Qingluan glanced at her and then replied to Bo He, “Pour me a gla.s.s of water.”
She wasn’t hungry, but she had been holding her neck and felt a bit tired.
As she ma.s.saged her neck, she looked around the room but didn’t see her sons. She asked, “Where are Xiaonan and Yuanxi?”
“Senior Han is with them in the front yard, enjoying themselves. Today, the most prominent figures in the city have all come. There are also many people who weren’t invited, so they can only watch the festivities from outside.”
With Han Xiao’s watchful eye, there should be no problems, so Gu Qingluan relaxed.
At this moment, in the front yard.
Guests were arriving one after another.
Since it was not far from the main entrance, one could hear the singing and shouting coming from there if one listened carefully.
Every time they sang and shouted, the guests who had already arrived couldn’t help but exclaim.
Unknowingly, the Guardian Princess had gained such high prestige. The big shots who rarely came out on weekdays were all here!
“Oh, isn’t this Lord Ning Guo? How come you’re here too?”
Seeing an elderly man with white hair entering, many people went up to greet him.
Lord Ning Guo, a veteran of military service, had made countless meritorious contributions in the past. He defended the border and quelled internal rebellions. Now, he was nearly a hundred years old and hadn’t shown his face in many years. Unexpectedly, he came today!
Lord Ning Guo smiled and said, “I heard about the Guardian Princess’ deeds and I’m delighted. I’m very curious about this extraordinary woman who’s as capable as a man, so I came over to take a look.”
“I didn’t expect you to have heard about the legend of the Guardian Princess. Haha, but you came a bit late. The bride has already entered the bridal chamber, so you’ll have to wait to see her. Please sit down for now.”
Everyone respected this old Lord Ning Guo, who had dedicated his life to the country, and invited him to the main seat.
Not long after he sat down, there was another round of singing and shouting at the door. Before long, a grandfather and grandson were escorted in.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and whispers filled the air.
“I thought no one from the Gu family was coming. When the bride left, I didn’t see anyone from the Gu family.”
“I thought so that the Gu family wasn’t planning to come, but I didn’t expect them to be here!”
“You guys don’t know this? I heard that the people from the Gu family wanted to help at the Jun Residence, but Miss Gu rejected them. She only sent two wedding invitations, so only two people came.”
“Is that so? How did you find out?”
“I have a cousin’s cousin’s third aunt’s son working at the Jun Residence, and he told me.”
“Come on, you’re considered to have some connection with Miss Gu now!”
“The bride didn’t want help from the Gu family, so they really didn’t help. Since they didn’t contribute, they should just stay at home. Why bother coming here? They really have thick skin.”
“Hiss, you dare to say that! Be careful, Old Master Gu might hold a grudge against you.”
Just as they finished speaking, they noticed Gu Hongkang’s sharp gaze scanning them.
The group fell silent immediately..
