The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"It's a slip of the tongue. It's because they are being unreasonable."

Qin Wenlan: ...

She hasn't said anything yet. Is it really okay for her to have such a strong desire to survive?

Qin Wenlan was originally in a low mood, but after Gu Changan's jokes, his brows finally relaxed.

Next, I told him why I came to Wuchenghou Mansion today.

After listening to Qin Wenlan's words, Gu Changan's thoughts raced for a while before he said, "It seems that after losing Shen Tang, his right-hand man, Gu Yunzhou was a little too impatient."

Qin Wenlan nodded, "If he didn't have these people around him who were always planning for him, how smart and wise do you think he could be?

With Empress Wen, a daughter of the Wen clan, and the entire Wen clan behind him, even if he were a pig, he would be able to run ahead of the other princes."

When they reached the entrance of the alley, the carriage from Marquis Qin's mansion actually came over. Qin Wenlan stopped and looked at the person next to him, fearing that this person had specially called for his own carriage!

Gu Changan, however, avoided the topic and said, "After Gu Yunzhou married his principal wife, it was time for you and me to get married. According to the emperor's original will, the wedding was to be held in September.

Because Gu Yunzhou married Qin Shu first, he had to postpone the matter of marrying a wife!

In this way, our wedding will be held in the spring of next year when the flowers are in bloom. What do you think?"

"What? Is it so urgent?" Qin Wenlan asked in surprise.

Gu Changan said slowly: "This is because something went wrong with Gu Yunzhou, otherwise it would have been September.

Think about it, we still have King Cheng, King Li, King Ning, King Yu and many others behind us!

If it weren't for the rules in the palace, and if Gu Yunzhou was born to Queen Wen, he wouldn't have been able to get ahead.

Even for me, it's because my mother is the former queen, otherwise I wouldn't be ranked ahead of Prince Cheng and Prince Li.

It’s just that Prince Ning and Prince Yu are younger than me, so they are not in a hurry to follow me.”

Qin Wenlan hadn't noticed these things in his previous life, but now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that it made sense. He said, "No matter what, shouldn't we have the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculate the date first?"

"That's my business, as long as there's no problem on your side."

What else could Qin Wenlan say? After all, they were a couple in their previous life. Why was there any need for pretentiousness? Besides, this was arranged by His Majesty.

Qin Wenlan nodded in agreement. Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Gu Changan's mood also lifted. He then went up and pulled her to sit in the carriage of Qin Hou Mansion.

Qin Wenlan was too lazy to pay attention to him and let him pull him to sit down.

The carriage drove slowly through the streets of the capital city towards the Qinhou Mansion.

The evening breeze blew through the curtains, and through the gaps one could see the bustling crowds in the capital, which was a peaceful scene.

This is the life of the world, with lively laughter everywhere.

It made Qin Wenlan feel as if she was in another world. She wondered when they had ever had such a quiet and peaceful scene in their previous life. At that moment, she suddenly felt that she had no regrets in her life.

No matter how long the road ahead is, at least the time at this moment makes her linger.

***

The days that followed were particularly peaceful. Even in the capital, everything was as calm as usual. She knew that Lord Wucheng must have settled everything.

As for how the other party finally settled the matter, that was irrelevant to her, but it was really not easy for Gu Yunzhou to suffer this loss in silence.

Perhaps it was because it was time for him to marry his first wife, and in his opinion, everything could be postponed.

As Gu Yunzhou's wedding date drew closer, the entire Ministry of Rites was busy and dizzy. The three books and six ceremonies were completely different from the time when he married Qin Shu.

None of the things could go wrong, which attracted people from all over the capital to come out and watch, and it became a street talk in the past two or three months.

I don’t know how Qin Shu feels right now. After all, she will never get such a grand wedding.

If the engagement with Gu Changan had not been broken off, perhaps there would have been such a grand ceremony.

Qin Shu, Qin Shu, have you ever regretted anything in this life?

Qin Wenlan didn't know whether Qin Shuhou regretted it or not, but Yu was regretting it to the core. She had been cursing non-stop in the Lemon Yard these days.

Yu Shi couldn't scold herself for not educating her daughter well, so she could only beat and scold the servants to vent her anger. She hated Qin Shu for not respecting himself.

If she didn't have a baby in her belly, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get married.

Because you have something in your stomach, you are looked down upon by others. Once you are looked down upon by others, aren’t you inferior to others?

If she was not of inferior status, why would she be just a concubine? The marriage of a royal concubine is really not good enough.

If she wasn't a concubine, how could she not have the same pomp and ceremony as the principal concubine? This was the result of bringing disaster upon oneself. Yu Shi was now wishing she could slap herself several times!

She hated herself for not educating her daughter well, and hated herself for being busy scheming all the time. At the beginning, she was complacent about her position as a concubine.

Now, seeing the status of the queen that everyone in the capital envies, his eyes turn red with jealousy.

Including that idiot Qin Huai, he has been looking down on everyone these days. He doesn't have Yu's brains, who knows how to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

But he still hated Qin Wenlan to the core. If it weren't for the toxins still in his body, he would have run to Fanrongyuan to cause trouble every day!

Now that Qin Wenlan's wedding date is getting closer, the hatred in his heart is so strong that he wants to hit the rafters of the house.

What Qin Wenlan wanted was the satisfaction of having them hate her so deeply yet unable to do anything to her.

***

As the end of autumn and the beginning of winter passed by, the day when Gu Yunzhou would marry his first wife was getting closer.

As soon as winter came, the weather became colder and colder. It seemed that this winter was even colder than in previous years. It started to freeze not long after the beginning of the winter month.

Following the soaring prices in the entire capital, Qin Wenlan was at the hot spring resort at this time.

Tan Songyun looked at her master and said, "Master, don't worry. With Wu Qingfeng here, there won't be any trouble in the Penglai Restaurant.

No matter how high the prices in the capital city rise, it won't have much impact on us."

Qin Wenlan just learned about these things, "Why didn't you tell me about the current situation?"

"If I can't even handle these things, how can I continue to work in the capital?"

Tan Songyun laughed, "Since the master has handed the matter over to me, I should worry less."
