Nangong Yu also looked over, and his eyes looked at Gu Ruoxi with some depth.

Gu Ruoxi was no longer the same Gu Ruoxi. Her five senses were sharper now, and she could sense that these two people had no hostility towards her. She could also sense that they were looking at her.

I guess they were planning to ask why I married here?

She sighed slightly and said:

"My name is Gu Ruoxi. I am from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion... a concubine's daughter. I was supposed to marry into the Qin Duke's Mansion today."

Mrs. Hou was startled when she heard this!

Yes, she had heard before that the second son of the Duke of Qin who was unlucky in marriage also married into the Ningyuan Marquisate.

Privately, every family was saying that in order to gain respectability, the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was not afraid of their daughter being killed, so they sent their daughter to the Qin Duke's Mansion. No one knew what benefits the Qin Duke's Mansion had promised them.

But how come the girl who was supposed to marry into the Duke of Qin's Mansion was brought to their Marquis of Changyong's Mansion?

What about Gu Ruolan who should marry into the Changyong Marquis Mansion?

Nangong Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Marquis's wife was not stupid. She was afraid that someone was causing trouble again and did not want Nangong Yu to wake up, so she switched the two brides by mistake.

But it was a mistake, no matter who changed the bridal sedan, he did save his son's life!

Madam Hou believes in Master Hongyuan. This is fate!

The Marquis's wife took a deep breath to calm herself and asked some questions first.

Thinking of this, the Marquis's face darkened again.

"I'm afraid someone has done something wrong and brought your bridal sedan to our mansion."

After saying this, the Marquis's wife felt that what she said was wrong and made the child think too much. She hurriedly said:

"Don't think too much. I just want to figure out what happened. Your coming here just happened to wake Yu'er up. To me, no matter how it happened, you are my daughter-in-law."

Gu Ruoxi didn't think much about it. There was something wrong with the whole thing, and it was normal for the Marquis's wife to want to know clearly.

She still didn't say that she guessed that Gu Ruolan was afraid of being a widow and didn't dare to come to the wedding. But she still briefly described her original experience:

"I don't know how I was carried to your house. I...I was drugged before I left. When I woke up, I was in the sedan chair. I realized my mistake only after I got out of the sedan chair."

Nangong Yu asked:

"Then do you know that you came into this mansion to bring good luck?"

Gu Ruoxi pursed her lips:

"I didn't know at first. I...I didn't even know I was getting married until yesterday. My mother cried all night because of this. This morning, two women...took me hostage and fed me medicine. Then, I was sent to the bridal sedan while I was dazed."

"Before I got off the sedan, I heard people outside saying that the second young master didn't come to pick up the sedan, and that the wedding ceremony was decided by the time. I thought I was carrying the wrong person. My mother didn't say I was going to the wedding ceremony."

Nangong Yu frowned again:

"Then have you met your elder sister before getting into the bridal sedan?"

Gu Ruoxi's thoughts turned. She had grown up in a dilapidated courtyard behind the woods in the backyard and had never heard of such a thing as a legitimate sister.

Also before the wedding, Hanyan came over and spoke arrogantly, and Aunt Shu cried all night, saying that the mansion was going to marry her off.

Although she now knew the reason, Gu Ruoxi still said calmly:

"I didn't know I had a sister before. In the Marquis's Mansion, I always stayed in the same courtyard with my mother. If she hadn't said she was going to send me out, I would never have left that courtyard."

Nangong Yu believed this.

A concubine's daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion? She has had dealings with the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion over the years.

During every festival, he would go to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to deliver gifts.

He recognized the next generation of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, his future in-laws' family, but he had never seen this girl before.

According to what she said, she and her aunt might be abandoned by the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, imprisoned in a corner of the mansion.

How did a girl who had never been out learn how to treat diseases?

Besides, who sent her to him?

Could it be that Master Hong Yuan really calculated that someone had changed the bridal sedan and she just happened to be able to save that person?

Anyway, according to my understanding, Gu Ruolan definitely doesn't know how to save people.

Then why did she save me when she didn't even know me?

Nangong Yu's eyes turned and he had a lot of thoughts.

Gu Ruoxi stood there and let the two men look at her.

Madam Hou smiled and said gently:

"Very good. No matter what mistakes they made, they brought you to our home. You brought good fortune to my son. I will call you Xi'er, okay?"

Nangong Yu frowned. His mother believed him completely just because he woke up. He was still a little worried about this girl.

Gu Ruoxi is here, but where is Gu Ruolan?

Nangong Yu couldn't help but worry about the girl who had been his fiancée for more than ten years.

The Marquis's wife saw her son's frown and thought that he might not accept such a concubine's daughter as his wife.

After this incident, the Marquis' wife, the Crown Prince, the legitimate wife, the illegitimate wife, all of these were no longer important in the Marquis' wife's eyes. The most important thing was that her son was alive!

And the second time her son survived was thanks to Gu Ruoxi!

Just for this reason, she couldn't let her son look down on Gu Ruoxi.

Thinking about today's wedding, which was full of twists and turns, Madam Hou said to her son earnestly:

"Hearing what Xi'er said, it means that someone started to plot against us when we were getting married. Yu'er, you should be thankful that Xi'er came and saved you. Sure enough, Master Hongyuan was right. I asked him what kind of girl he wanted to marry, and he said that everything was destined."

"At that time, I thought the destined one was Gu Ruolan, who was engaged to you. Now it seems that Xi'er being sent here was destined by heaven!"

"Yu'er, when Xi'er pulled out the needle from the rooster at Jing'an Hall, I felt that she was really here to save you."

Thinking of the people and events during the wedding ceremony that Gu Ruoxi mentioned, Nangong Yu's eyes became three points colder.

It seems that they can't wait any longer.

At this moment, there was a quarrel in the yard, and then Yang Ma rushed in with an angry look on her face.

Nanny Yang looked at Gu Ruoxi for a moment before whispering in Madam Hou's ear:

"Madam, I sent my uncle back home. At the second gate, I encountered someone trying to sneak out. So I... brought him back."

Generally speaking, the second gate of the inner residence of the marquis' mansion would definitely be closed at this late hour.

If you want to go in or out, you cannot do so without the master's consent, and there is a maid guarding the second gate.

With Nanny Yang saying this, it must be that the person who is going out of the second gate must be someone from their East Courtyard.

Since the Marquis's residence had a concubine, it was divided into two parts, the east and the west. The servants used to call the courtyard where the Marquis's concubine lived the East Courtyard.

In the east courtyard, there is the Wutong Courtyard of the Marquis' wife, the Chaohui Courtyard of the Crown Prince, and several small courtyards at the back of the mansion, where several of the Marquis' concubines live.

Over the years, Madam Hou and Nanny Yang have managed Wutong Courtyard and Chaohui Courtyard very well, and they can be described as being as strong as an iron barrel.

As long as the Marquis's wife didn't say anything, no servant dared to spread the news that the prince had woken up.

The servants in the East Courtyard would not leave the East Courtyard at will.

After hearing what Madam Yang said, Madam Hou frowned slightly:

"who is it?"
