Along the way, the deafening sound of firecrackers rose one after another, resounding through the sky; the cheerful and exciting sound of gongs and drums echoed through the streets and alleys, making it extremely lively.

The long wedding procession was like a giant red dragon, winding its way towards the Gu Mansion. Wherever it passed, it attracted the curious and delighted gazes of many passers-by.

However, Gu Jinxuan and the guards beside him, who were in this festive atmosphere, did not slack off at all. They all looked solemn and ready for battle.

Because they know very well that beneath this seemingly calm and peaceful appearance, there are endless crises and dangers lurking, and if they are not careful they will fall into an irretrievable situation.

Therefore, even though there is singing and laughter and joy all around them, they always remain highly alert and dare not relax at all.

Finally, after a long journey, the wedding procession arrived safely at the gate of Gu's Mansion.

Just when everyone thought that the trip was about to end successfully, suddenly, a sharp and piercing whistle was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a group of mysterious people in black night clothes emerged from all directions like ghosts and surged out like a tide.

These men in black held sharp blades that gleamed coldly in their hands, with ferocious expressions on their faces, and pounced towards Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue who were sitting in the sedan chair at lightning speed.

In an instant, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were intertwined, and the sounds of killing were endless. The originally quiet streets were instantly shrouded in a bloody and terrifying atmosphere.

"Protect the bride and groom!"

There was a roar that resounded through the sky. It turned out to be Gu Jinxuan shouting at the top of his lungs.

And at this moment, those well-trained and dark guards who had been lying in ambush here for a long time attacked as swiftly as an arrow from a bow, and without hesitation started a thrilling life-and-death battle with the black-clad men who suddenly appeared.

In an instant, the entire scene became chaotic. Swords and knives gleamed coldly and collided with each other, sparks flew out, and shouts of killing echoed through the sky.

At this moment, Gu Jinxuan did not dare to slack off at all. He concentrated on guarding Lin Qingxue closely, as if she was the priceless treasure in his life.

Then, he swiftly drew the extremely sharp sword from his waist, rushed into the battle circle without hesitation, and started a thrilling and life-and-death fight with the man in black.

In this extremely fierce melee, the battle-hardened Gu Jinxuan quickly noticed some clues: although these aggressive men in black were all agile and quick in their movements, their coordination with each other seemed disorganized and full of loopholes, and they completely lacked the tacit understanding that a seasoned professional killer should have.

After a brief thought, he understood in his heart that this group of people must be a motley crowd that Concubine Shu hastily put together.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long and arduous battle, the brave and fearless secret guards finally succeeded in subduing all the men in black with their superb martial arts and tenacious fighting spirit.

Looking at the black-clad men lying all over the ground, Gu Jinxuan's chest was burning with rage, and his eyes were full of resentment, because he knew very well that everything happening before his eyes was undoubtedly the result of the sinister conspiracy carefully planned by Concubine Shu.

"Come here! Take all these people away immediately and interrogate them strictly! If they tell even a single lie, I will not show mercy!"

Gu Jinxuan shouted sternly at the group of well-trained, black-clad secret guards behind him. His voice was like a gust of cold wind in the cold night, chilling.

After saying that, he slowly turned around, gazing at Lin Qingxue in front of him with eyes as gentle as the warm spring sun. He saw her delicate body trembling slightly, and a trace of fear still remained in her beautiful eyes, but more of it was the relief and joy of surviving the disaster.

He knew very well that although Lin Qingxue had faced life and death before, that was nothing compared to a fierce fight with a real martial arts master.

You know, true martial arts masters often possess unique skills and are ruthless. Their moves are varied and powerful. Facing such a strong enemy, even a brave and resolute person like Lin Qingxue would inevitably feel fear.

After all, this was human nature, and he understood it perfectly. He would never look down on Lin Qingxue because of it. On the contrary, he felt even more worried about her safety and a strong desire to protect her.

Gu Jinxuan gently reached out his hand and gently stroked Lin Qingxue's silky hair, saying softly, "Qingxue, don't be afraid. All the dangers are over. From now on, I will protect you and never let anyone hurt you again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue nodded slightly, and crystal tears slid down her fair jade cheeks, like dewdrops rolling on lotus leaves in the early morning.

However, at this moment, the tears contained not sadness and pain, but full of happiness and emotion.

Amidst the well-intentioned blessings of the people around him, Gu Jinxuan carefully picked up Lin Qingxue and walked towards the Gu Mansion with firm and powerful steps. They passed through the winding and deep corridors, passed the pavilions with carved beams and painted rafters, and finally arrived at the front hall of the Gu family.

The front hall of the Gu family was already decorated with colorful lights and a festive atmosphere. The Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang sat at the top of the hall, their faces filled with pleased smiles. A wide aisle had been left between them for the newlyweds to hold their formal ceremony.

The rest of the place was filled with exquisite tables and chairs covered with gorgeous brocade, and was filled with guests and distinguished guests who came to attend the wedding banquet.

"The newcomer has arrived—" With the servant at the door's loud shout, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were inadvertently focused on the vermilion door.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Gu Jinxuan appeared in everyone's sight, like an immortal stepping on a colorful cloud, holding the beautiful and otherworldly Lin Qingxue in his arms.

He had an upright posture and walked steadily, as if every step was on the clouds, graceful and unrestrained. Lin Qingxue in his arms was like a docile kitten, quietly nestling in his broad and warm arms.

When they saw Gu Jinxuan carrying Lin Qingxue into the lobby in a princess-carrying posture without any hesitation, many people present couldn't help but sigh.

You know, in this hierarchical society, such intimate behavior is really shocking.

But at the same time, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: It seems that this noble Prince Gu really loves this ordinary peasant girl from the Lin family with true feelings and deep love!

“Bow to Heaven and Earth!”

As this loud and solemn shout rang out, Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue tightly held the big red flower that symbolized joy and happiness, slowly turned to face the vast sky outside the door, and bowed respectfully.

At this moment, the breeze was blowing gently and the sun was shining on them, as if covering the newlyweds with a layer of golden glow. Standing by and presiding over this grand wedding was none other than a cousin of Princess Anyang.

Princess Anyang's cousin was not only of noble status, but also a man praised by everyone as having all three of the four elements of fortune, wealth and longevity. Having him take on this important task undoubtedly made the entire wedding more solemn and auspicious.

“Bow to your parents!”

Before people could recover from the shock of the previous bow, another loud shout was heard.

Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue quickly turned around and bowed deeply to Princess Anyang and the Duke of Huguo, who were sitting on the high hall with smiles on their faces, to express their respect and gratitude to their elders.

At this time, the guests present applauded and cheered, and blessings came one after another, pouring towards the happy couple like a tide.

“Husband and wife bow to each other!”

Amidst cheers, Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue stood opposite each other, staring into each other's eyes, their eyes full of tenderness and love.

Afterwards, the two of them bent slightly at the same time and bowed to each other, implying that from now on, the husband and wife would respect each other and love each other.

At this moment, time seems to stand still, only two hearts are communicating silently and making a vow to stay together for life.

"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber!"

When the last announcement sounded, the whole place suddenly became lively, and immediately a group of maids in gorgeous clothes came forward quickly, ready to support the bride Lin Qingxue to Gu Jinxuan's yard.

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene happened - Gu Jinxuan actually reached out to stop the maids without hesitation, and said that he would personally carry Lin Qingxue back to the room.

After saying that, Gu Jinxuan once again showed off his strong and powerful arms in front of many guests, and gently embraced Lin Qingxue in his arms with an elegant posture, as if he was protecting the most precious treasure in the world.

Lin Qingxue snuggled shyly on his broad chest, a happy and sweet smile on her face.

Just like that, under the envious gazes of everyone, Gu Jinxuan held Lin Qingxue steadily and walked towards his yard step by step.

Along the way, there was constant laughter and joy, and the entire mansion was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Finally returning to the yard, Gu Jinxuan carefully placed Lin Qingxue on the edge of the bed, then reached out and gently lifted the red veil on her head.

In an instant, a charming and beautiful face appeared before his eyes, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. Lin Qingxue's big, watery eyes sparkled with joy, and after looking at Gu Jinxuan affectionately for a moment, they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Next, it was time to drink the wedding wine. The maids presented two golden cups filled with fine wine, handing them to Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue respectively.

The two of them crossed their hands and gently sipped the fine wine in the cup, feeling the strong affection flowing down their throats and into their hearts.

After drinking the wedding wine, Gu Jinxuan gently walked to Lin Qingxue's side and carefully helped her take off the exquisite jewelry on her head one by one. His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world.

Gu Jinxuan smiled and said to Lin Qingxue, "It's still early. My sister-in-law will personally bring you some delicious food later. Xiaoya and Xiaowan are enjoying a banquet in the front yard. Someone will send our four lovely children over in a while. They will accompany you to chat about family matters and relieve your boredom."

Having said that, Gu Jinxuan paused for a moment before continuing, "The courtyard where Xiaoya and Xiaowan live is right next to Huaining's. This way, the three sisters can look after each other and visit each other often to talk about their inner thoughts. Mother has specially arranged for a nanny and a caring maid to take care of their daily lives. If you go over and see anything inappropriate or unsatisfactory tomorrow, feel free to ask for a replacement. Also, my courtyard will be under your control from now on! Wen Wen and Wen Su will sort out my private money in the next two days, and will hand it all over to you in two days."

Lin Qingxue listened quietly to every word of Gu Jinxuan, with a warm current surging in her heart. She was deeply moved by Gu Jinxuan's meticulous care and consideration for her in every aspect.

At this moment, she just felt that she was so lucky to marry him and become a member of this warm family.

"Okay, then go ahead and do it without worry! We still need your help taking care of the front yard, so I can handle this!"

Lin Qingxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile as blooming as spring flowers, and spoke softly.

Gu Jinxuan's meticulous care and consideration for her were like the warm sun in winter, making her feel extremely warm and happy.

However, she knew very well that even in the most intimate relationship between husband and wife, if only one party was content to accept the other party's endless efforts without any response, then cracks would appear in the relationship sooner or later.

Therefore, Lin Qingxue always reminds herself to be grateful and to give care to others in a timely manner.

After all, the way for a couple to get along is to support and understand each other. Therefore, she always cares about every detail of Gu Jinxuan inadvertently. As for his children, Lin Qingxue treats them as her own and takes good care of their daily life. She is also respectful and polite to other relatives and elders of the Gu family, and never lets others criticize her.

Because she deeply understands that only by carefully managing and maintaining this marriage can it last forever, be happy and harmonious.

Lin Qingxue has a beautiful wish in her heart. She is not satisfied with being a couple with Gu Jinxuan in name only. What she longs for is to have a sincere and affectionate marriage with him and become the closest partners in each other's lives.

"Okay, I'll be on my way first. After you eat a little, be sure to rest well."

Gu Jinxuan spoke softly, and at the same time, gently stretched out his hand and gently pinched Lin Qingxue's delicate cheek like mutton-fat jade, then leaned down and left a deep and gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

After doing all this, he slowly turned around with a feeling of attachment and reluctance, and walked towards the front yard with firm steps, where many guests were waiting for him to come and warmly entertain them.

After Gu Jinxuan's figure completely disappeared at the door, Lin Qingxue slowly stood up from the bed and began to pace slowly in the room.

She carefully examined everything around her with her eyes as bright as water, as if she wanted to deeply imprint every corner in her heart.

The whole room was decorated in an exceptionally warm and elegant manner. Whether it was the placement of furniture or the choice of decorations, it all demonstrated Gu Jinxuan's delicate thoughts and his deep love for her.

Her gaze finally stopped on an exquisite landscape painting hanging on the wall. The scenery in the painting was profound and artistic conception, which made people yearn for it.

Gazing at the painting, Lin Qingxue's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the time when she first met Gu Jinxuan. The bits and pieces of their experiences together kept flashing in her mind like movie scenes.
