The weather in Beijing becomes cooler with each autumn rain. Starting from September, the weather becomes cooler day by day. By the end of September, it is already slightly chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Wan Zhou's wedding date arrived as scheduled as the weather became increasingly cold.

On October 15th, three days before the wedding, Huayang delivered the altered wedding dress to Gu's house.

"This wedding dress is so beautiful! Miss, when you wear this wedding dress, you will definitely be the most beautiful bride in Beijing!" Qiu Ge looked at Wan Zhou trying on the wedding dress and her face was full of smiles.

"Qiu Ge, can you speak? The young lady's appearance is best even when she wears linen. Do she still need a wedding dress to enhance it?" Bai Lu curled her lips, very unhappy that Qiu Ge had missed the point.

"Hey, Sister Bailu, can you please stop finding fault with me? You know that's not what I meant?" Qiu Ge pouted.

"I'm not nitpicking. I'm trying to teach you a lesson. If you don't know how to talk, just say less. With your personality of not thinking before speaking, you might cause trouble for the young lady when you go to the Duke's Mansion."

"Miss, look, Sister Bai Lu dislikes me again."

Wan Zhou smiled but said nothing.

These two maids of hers speak and act in completely different ways, but the only thing they have in common is that they are both loyal to her.

Bai Lu is one year older than Qiu Ge. She is calm and thoughtful, meticulous and methodical, but not talkative. Qiu Ge is lively and cheerful, open-minded, and always shows her happiness.

Bai Lu didn't like Qiu Ge's noisy and irritable personality, and she would say a few words whenever she had the chance. It wasn't to pick a fight, but as she said, she was worried that Qiu Ge would speak without thinking and cause trouble for her young lady.

Qiu Ge was still chirping about how pretty the wedding dress was, and Wan Zhou took a quick look at it.

To describe the wedding dress simply as "beautiful" would be too unfair. It must be described as "exquisite and luxurious".

Wan Zhou herself didn't care at all about the marriage, let alone the wedding dress. In her opinion, as long as it was red and suitable for the occasion, it would be fine.

But Huayang said that a woman's marriage cannot be taken lightly and must be taken seriously. He was like many brothers who doted on their sisters, fearing that their sister was not decent enough and would be looked down upon by others. Wanzhou's dowry was already shabby enough, so the wedding dress had to be gorgeous.

So, he somehow found an old maid who had retired from the palace's clothing department to make the wedding dress. The skills trained in the palace were all top-notch.

The fabric is the finest jinhua duan, with complicated craftsmanship and high price. The jinhua duan used in Wanzhou's wedding dress is a custom-made pattern, with a peony pattern interwoven with gold and peacock blue silk threads, and pearl tassels on the collar and shoulders. There are 56 pearls alone, each of which is as big as a middle finger, with a lustrous color and is very valuable.

The crown is inlaid with sapphires.

No wonder Qiu Ge looked like she had never seen the world before. How could she not be amazed? A sapphire was worth about 200 taels, and her crown had 12 sapphires.

In her previous life, when she married that bastard Jiang Xuan, her wedding dress was also gorgeous and had pearls, but it was not as good as the one in front of her. There was only one sapphire on her crown, which was several levels lower than the one in front of her.

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Brother Huayang was also a person who looked at people's tastes differently? In her previous life, she married Jiang Xuan, a man from a poor family, and her wedding dress was gorgeous but not luxurious. In this life, she married General Ji, who was extremely glorious, so he made her wedding dress extremely luxurious?

When Wanzhou was about to change out of her wedding dress, Gu Wanyu floated in.

"Big sister, is this your wedding dress?" Gu Wanyu's eyes widened.

Wan Zhou simply stopped taking it off, straightened his body, and said to Gu Wanyu: "Second sister, can you help me take a look, does it look good?"

nice?

Isn’t this a question that you don’t know why?

Even if such a wedding dress was put on a dog, no one would say it was ugly because of the pearls and gems.

Gu Wanzhou was born beautiful, and with such a gorgeous wedding dress, she looked noble and bright. In such a contrast, everything around her seemed to lose its color, and Gu Wanyu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Only then did she realize that since some time ago, Gu Wanzhou, the dull and unpresentable person whom she had never taken seriously, seemed to have been reborn, and his image and temperament were superior to hers.

In terms of appearance, she is sweet and lovable, while Gu Wanzhou is pure and elegant. In terms of temperament, she is generous and generous, while Gu Wanzhou is cold and distant. In socializing, she is more popular, while Wanzhou is always criticized behind his back for being difficult to get along with. However, she hates it, but at the same time, she inexplicably envies the contentment of keeping people at a distance.

Gu Wanyu's eyes were filled with jealousy. She was jealous of the extremely luxurious wedding dress, jealous of Gu Wanzhou's good fortune, and even more jealous that she was going to marry Ji Nanzheng.

"It looks good." Gu Wanyu said reluctantly, suppressing her jealousy.

"It's worth a lot of money, right? Big sister is really rich. She donated 30 yuan and still has money to make such a luxurious wedding dress?"

Listening to Gu Wanyu's sour and suspicious tone, Wan Zhou said calmly: "I can't afford it. It was given to me by Brother Huayang."

"Mr. Hua and my elder sister are not related at all. If other people knew that he gave her such a valuable gift, who knows what they would say about your relationship?" Although Gu Wanyu tried to suppress her emotion, the sourness in her tone still came out.

At the same time, it was also a reminder to Wan Zhou that the evidence of her trip with Hua Yang was in her hands.

"I am the daughter of Brother Huayang's benefactor. If others knew about this, they would definitely say that Brother Huayang is a man who is grateful and repays his kindness."

Hua Yang himself said the word benefactor. He said, "Miss, our Hua family can be what it is today thanks to Madam's trust and promotion. Miss, don't feel burdened. Compared with Madam's kindness to our Hua family, what I have done for you is not worth mentioning at all."

After hearing this, Gu Wanyu felt even more sad.

In her opinion, Huayang was either out of his mind or had no brains at all? He was just a benefactor, so why would he give out such a valuable thing?

Even if she is your own sister, there are not many who would be so generous, right?

How could Gu Wanzhou be so lucky? She had a mother who could make money, a father who doted on her, and even a stranger who had no blood relationship with her doted on her more than her own brother.

Gu Wanyu was so jealous that she almost lost her composure. She squeezed her clenched fist hard, then calmed down and remembered why she came here.

Gu Wanyu took the basket from Qingshuang and put it on the dressing table. "Big sister, these handkerchiefs and purses are all made by me. They are for you to keep as a treasure."

When a younger sister gets married, the ladies usually give her some handmade items as a gift. It is not easy to meet her again after the wedding. If you miss someone, you can take out the items she made by hand and think of her.

As a younger sister, it is particularly appropriate to give a handkerchief and a purse to the older sister as gifts.

But there is actually no need to talk about the complicated relationship between Wan Zhou and Gu Wan Yu.

In fact, since the wedding date was set and Gu Wanyu had an outburst on the spot, she seemed to have forgotten about it. Not only did she not stop seeing King Wanzhou because of it, but she became closer to her.

He would come to see her from time to time, say a few insignificant words, and bring her some fruits and food. Because Wan Zhou always acted cold, Gu Wanyu once spoke frankly.

She said, "Sister, you are going to be the wife of a general. To be honest, I also want to have a good family. Sister, just think of it as me trying to please you. I just hope that you will not forget to support me when you become the wife of a general. After all, we are sisters, and we are connected even if our bones are broken."

Sisters?

They are the sisters who were murdered.

After her rebirth, she understood a truth: things in the world are never said. Jiang Shi, Jiang Xuan, how nice they sounded? But what they were plotting behind the scenes was her property and her life.

Even if what Gu Wanyu said was true, even if she turned over a new leaf, she would not have the slightest bit of emotion towards her.

But she would not just cut off all contact with her. She would just keep a distance from her and deal with her in a neutral way.

"Thank you, second sister, for your trouble." Wan Zhou took the basket and thanked politely.

"Hey, big sister, why be so polite? Isn't it my duty as a younger sister to give you some souvenirs? Big sister is about to become the general's wife, I'm just afraid I can't curry favor with you." Gu Wanyu said with a smile, that smile was pure and heartless.

But the more this happened, the more Wan Zhou became wary of her. Because Gu Wanyu was raised by Jiang, Jiang wanted to make her heartless and useless, but she taught Gu Wanyu from a young age, taught her to be on guard, and taught her all kinds of ways to deal with the world.

Jiang thought that his way of dealing with the world was smart, but it was actually hypocritical. He flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. He spoke lies to people and nonsense to ghosts.

As for human words, they will not be spoken unless it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Wan Zhou was certain that the more heartless Gu Wanyu appeared, the more evil she had waiting to come out.

Wan Zhou stretched out his hand and asked Bai Lu to take off his wedding dress: "Second sister, in fact, you and I both know very well that the Duke's Mansion will not welcome me at all. I am just a fake and can't help you or anything."

Gu Wanyu took the opportunity to say, "Big sister, if you really have trouble, remember to tell us. We are your family and will definitely help you."

"I will." Wan Zhou responded and pretended to yawn.

"Then I'll go back first." Gu Wanyu saw that Wanzhou wanted to see her off, so she said goodbye tactfully with a smile.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but look at Wan Zhou's wedding dress again, and couldn't help thinking, it would be great if she could wear such a gorgeous wedding dress.

I felt inexplicably melancholy.

After she walked out of the door, she put away her smile and her eyes became stern.

She must work hard to win over Ji Nanzheng. When she becomes Ji Nanzheng's wife and the Duke's wife in the future, everyone will envy her.
