Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Zhou Wuwei rode a tall horse and arrived at the gate of Prince Changping's palace with a huge procession of betrothal gifts.

Gu Bozhong, who received the news, brought people from the palace to welcome them early.

Although Zhou Wuwei is young, he is now a popular figure in front of the emperor and empress. He also holds military power and has a say in the court.

Gu Bozhong, a prince without real power, naturally had to greet him with a smile.

The Princess of Changping, who was following closely behind Gu Bozhong, looked at the betrothal gifts filling the yard, and the smile on her face deepened.

In the Tianqin Kingdom, the amount of the betrothal gift directly represents how much the man values ​​the woman, and it is even more important among the aristocratic families.

She originally thought that if Zhou Wuwei could send twenty or thirty betrothal gifts, it would be very good. Gu Congyun was getting married for the second time, so she couldn't ask for too much.

However, after seeing the 88-cart betrothal gift, the princess felt relieved. Gu Congyun's marriage to Zhou Wuwei was a happy remedy after all the hard work.

"Please come in, dear son-in-law. Please come in."

Gu Bozhong happily let Zhou Wuwei into the main hall.

"please."

This was Zhou Wuwei’s first time being a son-in-law, and he didn’t know how to get along with his enthusiastic father-in-law.

After the two chatted awkwardly for a cup of tea, they somehow started talking about Kung Fu. So Zhou Wuwei and Gu Bozhong, who were there for the first time, took wooden swords and started sparring in the arena.

Back then, Gu Bozhong followed the late emperor and conquered the world on the battlefield. Although he is old, his skills are still there.

The two of them exchanged dozens of moves in the arena, and the fight was very satisfying and enjoyable.

"Wu Wei, your Kung Fu is really amazing."

After putting away the sword in his hand, Gu Bozhong felt his palm go numb from the shock.

He was also a martial artist, and he vaguely felt that Zhou Wuwei had only used 30% of his Kung Fu to beat him without any chance of fighting back. He secretly admired him in his heart. It seemed that the rumors that Zhou Wuwei was a martial arts genius were true.

"Thank you. I am just a little stronger."

"Brother Wuwei, let me show you a few moves too. See if my kung fu has improved."

Gu Xi was eager to try with the wooden sword in his hand, but was pulled down from the arena by Gu Congyun.

What kind of good person would fight in the arena when delivering the betrothal gifts?

She is really going crazy.

"General Zhou, it's cold outside. I have prepared some fine tea in the house. Please try it and see how it tastes."

"it is good."

Zhou Wuwei readily agreed after hearing what Gu Congyun said. He and Gu Congyun were quite familiar with each other and they had many topics to talk about. It was much more comfortable to drink tea with her than with Gu Bozhong.

"Yes, let's go inside and have some tea. Congyun's tea is a specialty."

Seeing that Gu Congyun seemed to have something to say to Zhou Wuwei, Gu Bozhong made a few polite remarks in the main hall and then found an excuse to leave, taking the clueless Gu Xi with him.

Give space to the two young people and let them have a good conversation.

As expected, as soon as Gu Bozhong left, Gu Congyun spoke.

"Wuwei, what do you think about our marriage?"

"If you feel that this marriage is embarrassing for you, I can ask the Queen to cancel the marriage."

Gu Congyun looked at Zhou Wuwei with a little nervousness. During the time they spent together at the border, she had developed a good impression of Zhou Wuwei. She had never dared to hope that she could marry him before, and she had always kept this little thought deep in her heart.

Now that she finally has the chance, she also hopes that Zhou Wuwei is willing to marry her, rather than being forced.

"Need not."

Zhou Wuwei didn't know how to explain to Gu Congyun. He couldn't say that it would be the same for him to marry anyone except Ye Jintang.

"Is it because of Gu Xi that you married me?"

Gu Congyun hesitated for a while and finally asked what he had wanted to ask for a long time.

She was eager to get an answer, but at the same time she was afraid to know the answer. After she said this, her heart was pounding wildly.

"No."

Zhou Wuwei's answer was very concise and he didn't explain much.

But this was enough for Gu Congyun.

As long as she could marry Zhou Wuwei and live a good life with him, she didn't need to dig into the details and find out everything else.

Sometimes it's good to be a little confused.

Compared with the bustling Changping Palace, the Bai family seemed a little deserted.

The person who came to the Bai family to deliver the betrothal gift was Zhou He, the chief steward of Zhou Wuwei.

The betrothal gift for marrying a concubine was only 6 loads, which was incomparable to Gu Congyun's 88 loads of betrothal gifts.

Bai Hanyi and Mrs. Bai looked at the pitiful six loads of betrothal gifts in the yard and were so angry that their beards were about to fly up to the sky.

"Zhou Wuwei is going too far. He only let a steward handle such a big matter as the betrothal gift. He really doesn't take our Bai family seriously."

"Mr. Bai is wrong. Our general's mansion has the same standard for taking concubines."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Hanyi looked at Zhou He suspiciously, not quite understanding what he meant. Could it be that Zhou Wuwei was going to take a concubine?

"To be honest with you, Lord Bai, my general has given betrothal gifts to two other concubines today. They have been with the general for a long time, and the general wants to give them a status."

Bai Wanqing, who was hiding in the house, heard Zhou He say this and bit her lips tightly in hatred. Zhou Wuwei was deliberately embarrassing her.

Just wait and see. If he doesn't let her have an easy life, she will destroy his general's mansion directly, and no one will have an easy life.

After the people who brought the betrothal gifts left, Bai Wanqing immediately asked Nanny Yang beside her to go out and find out the backgrounds of Zhou Wuwei's two concubines and whether they had given birth to children for Zhou Wuwei.

Within one day, several groups of people came out of the general's mansion with betrothal gifts, which naturally caused a lot of discussion on the streets.

It didn't take much effort for Nanny Yang to go out and get the news, and she soon found out about Zhou Wuwei's two mistresses.

"Miss, I have already found out clearly that General Zhou's two concubines are from foreign races and have not given birth to any son or daughter for General Zhou."

"That's good."

Bai Wanqing already had a way to deal with it in her mind.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of Zhou Wuwei and Gu Congyun's wedding arrived.

Ye Jintang sent a gift early on.

The guests who came to congratulate only saw a group of palace servants, some holding wooden boxes, some carrying heavy boxes, and some holding exquisite wooden boxes, slowly entering the gate of the general's mansion.

Just by looking at the number of people in the team, you can tell that the emperor and empress sent quite a few gifts, which shows how favored Zhou Wuwei is in front of the emperor and empress.

In the front yard of the general's mansion, Zhou Wuwei was holding a banquet to marry his wife.

Except for Gu Congyun's yard, all other yards in the backyard were deserted.

Bai Wanqing and two other concubines also came in today.

However, they did not go through the main gate. Instead, they were carried into the mansion in a sedan chair from the back.

Bai Wanqing looked at her slightly shabby house with a very unpleasant expression on her face.

She tore off the red veil on her head and threw it aside.

"The master cannot take off the red veil by herself. The groom must pick it up with a scale."

Furong, the maidservant serving Bai Wanqing, wanted to step forward to stop her, but was glared at by Bai Wanqing.

"You feel like the general will come to my room today."

Furong realized instantly that Zhou Wuwei would definitely stay in Gu Congyun's house today.

She knew she had spoken out of turn and immediately knelt down in front of Bai Wanqing.

"It is the servant who cannot speak, please accept my Master's pleasure or anger."

As she said this, Furong slapped herself twice.
