Chapter 72: Changes at the Wedding

The courtyard suddenly fell silent. Everyone's attention focused on the source of the sound, where a gorgeous middle-aged couple slowly entered the courtyard. The man was tall, his brow radiating majesty, his robes gleaming luxuriously in the sunlight. The woman, with her dignified features and noble demeanor, resembled a peony blooming in the wind. Though not as dazzling as the flowers, her presence was still striking. Their arrival shattered the festive atmosphere, leaving everyone stunned.

Although the red veil obscured Lu Linger's vision, she could sense the sudden change in the atmosphere around her. She whispered to Gu Yichen, "What happened?"

Gu Yichen frowned slightly, his heart filled with ripples. Faced with the sudden interruption, he was filled with confusion and vigilance. He stepped forward and bowed to the couple, "May I ask why you two are interrupting our wedding ceremony?"

The man smiled slightly, a hint of elusive meaning flashing in his eyes. His tone was gentle but unquestionable: "We are here on orders to witness this wedding on your behalf."

Gu Yichen's brows were furrowed, his heart filled with doubts. He asked in a low voice, "Who are you two? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

The woman chuckled, with a mysterious tenderness in her eyes: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I will explain it in detail after the wedding."

Seeing this, the bridesmaid's expression became extremely nervous, but she still tried to maintain the solemnity of the ceremony and continued to shout, "Second bow to the parents!"

Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen were filled with questions, but the wedding had to go on. They slowly knelt and saluted the mysterious couple. Lu Ling'er's emotions were mixed, her mind filled with speculation and doubt.

After the three bows, the bridesmaid declared the wedding officially over, and cheers rang out again. However, everyone sensed that the arrival of this mysterious couple meant more unknown twists and turns were about to arrive. Gu Yichen frowned slightly, glancing at the couple from time to time, feeling a sense of uncertainty.

Without further hesitation, Gu Yichen escorted Lu Ling'er into the bridal chamber. He gently removed her red veil, and upon seeing her face, his eyes softened. He said affectionately, "Ling'er, you are so beautiful." Lu Ling'er smiled faintly, a blush forming on her face.

The bridesmaid smiled and said, "The two newlyweds, please drink the wedding wine." She took out a pair of exquisite wedding wine cups and handed them to Gu Yichen. She then cut a lock of their hair, tied it up, and placed it in an exquisite box. Gu Yichen took out a folded cloth from his bosom and wrapped the hair in the box. Lu Linger looked at him curiously and whispered, "What is this?"

Gu Yichen smiled charmingly, a bit mysteriously: "I won't tell you, this is my baby." Then, he said softly: "Ling'er, change your clothes and come out to meet the couple. They are all family members at home, so there is no need to worry too much."

As Lu Ling'er removed the phoenix crown, Gu Yichen attentively helped, carefully removing the beads from the crown. As she did so, she asked, "Who do you think they are?"

Gu Yichen looked into her eyes and comforted her, "I don't know, don't think too much, there should be no malicious intent." His gentle eyes were full of comfort.

After changing into their bright red coats, the two of them walked out of the bridal chamber and headed towards the banquet in the courtyard. Although Lu Ling'er was full of questions, with Gu Yichen by her side, she decided to temporarily put aside her uneasiness and embrace the unknown future.
