Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Chapter 274 It finally fell into my hands

Beijing.

A carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Gu Mansion.

"Miss, it's time to get off the bus."

The driver said something to the rear carriage, then hurriedly jumped out to inform the doorman and report to the master and his mistress.

Inside the carriage, the woman lay on a narrow couch, her face covered with a newest notebook, motionless.

"Palace Master, we're here!"

A woman in pink was sitting on the couch opposite, with a sweet smile and a playful tone in her voice.

The lying woman lazily removed the book covering her face, her eyes a bit hazy as she softly reminded him, "Don't call me the wrong name, Yaoguang. I'm Gu Qingqing now, not your Palace Master."

Yaoguang had no sense of being a subordinate. He looked her over with impunity and said with a smirk, "I'm really not used to it!"

I don’t know if the “uncomfortable” in this sentence refers to the discomfort with the name, or the discomfort with her current dress and appearance as Gu Qingqing.

At this time, a cheerful female voice was heard outside the carriage.

"Qingqing is back! It's a long journey from Dongzhou to the capital, you must be exhausted, right? Get off the car quickly and follow mother into the mansion to rest."

Ma was dressed appropriately as a government official's wife, accompanied by two maids, four servants and four servants. She was in a grand ceremony, with a kind smile on her face, and she personally came down the steps to greet people.

A slender little hand lifted the curtain, revealing a pretty little face that smiled at everyone. Yaoguang walked out of the carriage and jumped off neatly.

Ma despised him in her heart: Humph, people who grew up in the countryside are so vulgar!

She smiled and was about to go forward and hold Yaoguang's hand to show her intimacy, but she saw Yaoguang get off the carriage and turn around to wait respectfully beside it. Then she saw another woman slowly walk out of the carriage.

The woman, dressed in a light green dress, exuded a fresh and refined air. A delicate jade hairpin, adorned with a thin silver beaded tassel, swayed gently with her movements. On her small, fair face, a pair of clear, bright eyes resembled the autumn moon in the sky—cold, beautiful, and unattainable.

Who would have thought that Xiaoyao Jian, who was always happy to avenge his enemies and kill decisively in the martial arts world, would now appear in the capital in the appearance of a delicate lady.

"Miss, let me help you get off the carriage." Yaoguang reached out and helped Gu Qingqing get off the carriage.

Gu Qingqing was dignified and graceful as she walked. She bowed to Ma Yingying and said in a soft voice, "Mother, I am well."

At this moment, she truly lived up to her name "Gu Qingqing", giving people a soft and gentle feeling.

Ma swept away the embarrassment of mistaking someone for someone else and, with a beaming smile, went to pull Gu Qingqing. "Qingqing, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. Come into the house with your mother quickly. Your father is waiting to see you!"

Gu Qingqing smiled faintly at her, but she was secretly complaining in her heart: It's really difficult for you to pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son to welcome me.

She followed Ma up the steps and saw the mansion festooned with red ribbons, a festive atmosphere. As soon as she stepped through the gate, she was lifted up by two maids and hurried to the backyard.

She followed Ma up the stairs. The house was decorated with red ribbons. As soon as she stepped through the gate, she was lifted up by two maids and walked quickly to the backyard.

A sneer appeared on her lips.

This family really wants her to stay longer in the Minister's Mansion!

She offered no resistance, allowing two maids to lead her to a room. Several maids frantically dressed her in a bright red wedding dress, then pressed her into a chair to comb her hair and put on makeup. After a flurry of activity, they finally covered her with a red veil.

The voice of Mammy came to my ears.

"The eldest lady came back too late. There's no time left, so this is the only way." The nanny seemed to be explaining the reason why the master and the mistress did not summon Gu Qingqing, but her tone was actually full of complaints.

She continued, "Don't blame the master and his wife in your heart. You haven't been in the capital for so many years, and the master and his wife have worked hard to keep this marriage for you. The eldest daughter is a daughter of the Gu family, and all her relatives are in the Gu family. When you go to the uncle's mansion in the future, the eldest daughter should think more about her parents and brothers at home."

Gu Qingqing raised her eyelids casually. She couldn't see clearly through the veil, and she didn't know where the Gu family got the nerve to say such things.

Ridiculous! A father she'd never met, a stepmother who wasn't even related by blood, and a whole family of nominal relatives who ignored her. Why would they think she should be grateful for being sent to the uncle's mansion to bring good luck? They even wanted to use her to make money by marrying her, to maximize her value. Even businessmen couldn't calculate more clearly!

If her mother hadn't arranged a marriage for her when she was alive, she wouldn't have bothered to come back and see their family.

"Madam is right. I heard that the prince is not in good health and has reached the point where he needs a wedding to ward off evil. I really should think more about my parents and brothers. After all, this is my mother's home. It's hard to say whether a wedding to ward off evil will be a good thing. I never know when I will return and still need my mother's family to settle me down."

After hearing this, the nanny glanced at her with a sullen face and left quickly.

Not long after, Yaoguang helped her out of the door and into the wedding sedan.

Aside from a few maids from the Gu family who saw her off, or rather escorted her, no one else from the Gu family showed up until she left the sedan chair.

There was no bride's family to see her off, nor was there a groom to greet her. Gu Qingqing followed the maid from the Bo's residence into the wedding hall, where she bowed to the heavens, the earth, and her parents, before being escorted to her bridal chamber.

As soon as the door closed, there was a sound of steady footsteps coming from far away. Through the gap under the red veil, the hem of the visitor's wedding dress could be vaguely seen.

Judging from the footsteps and breathing, the person who came did not seem to be as seriously ill as rumored.

I don't know what he was hesitating about. The figure stopped in front of him for a while before slowly leaning over and lifting the veil.

What appeared before her was a face more delicate than a woman's, with skin as white as jade and eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as paintings. The bright red wedding dress made her look even more beautiful, even more stunning than when she first saw her.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

The two recognized each other almost at the same time, their voices filled with surprise and unexpectedness.

"Are you the prince of the Jun Earl Mansion?"

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly delighted in her heart. Marrying a beautiful woman, what a pleasant surprise!

"Yes. Are you Gu Qingqing, the eldest daughter of Minister Gu?"

Jun Xianlan curled her lips slightly, secretly feeling relieved. The girl in front of her was her savior, which was much better than marrying a stranger she had never met.

Gu Qingqing didn't bother to listen to what Jun Xianlan was saying. Her eyes wandered over the man's face with a half-smile, as if she was admiring the prey she had been waiting for for a long time.

"Oh, it finally fell into my hands!"

She grabbed the man's collar, exerted force, and threw him onto the bed. She casually waved her hand behind her, and the bed curtain fell, covering the two of them in a private space.

Gu Qingqing still remembered that not long ago at Kaiyun Mansion, she had half-jokingly asked Jun Xianlan if he was willing to go home with her and become her son-in-law. At that time, he had ungratefully refused.

how about it?

The fate arranged by heaven cannot be rejected by mortals. If he doesn't want to marry, then she will marry instead!
