My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

Lin Qingxue pondered for a moment, quickly sorting out the possible pros and cons of this marriage in her mind.

Princess Anyang on the side looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her to make a decision. Donghe stood behind Lin Qingxue with her hands hanging down, not daring to breathe.

"Second sister-in-law," Lin Qingxue said, "Although Miss Linlang is good in every way, her mother's attitude and the calculations behind it make us worried. Huaiyuan is the eldest son and grandson of the Duke of Huguo. His marriage is related to the future of the entire family."

Princess Lin nodded in agreement. "My sister-in-law is absolutely right. I'm also worried that if Linlang were to marry into our family, my sister-in-law would use her name to put endless pressure on the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. That would be troublesome."

Princess Anyang put down her teacup and said slowly, "How about this? Let's find an opportunity for Huaiyuan and Linlang to meet. If the children like each other, we can make plans later. If they don't, then we can shirk this matter."

Lin Qingxue's eyes lit up, and she thought this was a good idea: "Mother, this is a good idea, but we need to think carefully about the location and method of the meeting. We can't let the people at Prince An's Mansion know our intentions."

Princess Lin's eyes rolled as she suggested, "In October, Xiaoya will get married. My sister-in-law will definitely take Linlang with her. Huaiyuan will also come back to carry Xiaoya out of the house. I'll try to find a way for them to meet each other."

"This matter must not be spread out. If the two little ones fall in love with each other, then as for that little girl Linlang, go talk to your mother. Don't let her be led around by your sister-in-law."

Princess Anyang spoke in a very serious tone. She said that her eldest grandson's marriage must not go wrong, otherwise don't blame her for being cruel.

"I know, mother, your daughter-in-law will," Princess Lin responded with a smile. She knew what was more important. A sister-in-law from her mother's family could not compare to the future of her two sons.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now! Eldest wife, go and do your own thing!" Princess Anyang knew that Lin Qingxue had a lot of things to do, and she was giving her some face by coming here today, otherwise she would never have had the time.

"Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law will go down first. If you have anything, please ask the maids to call me from Xuanxue Garden," Lin Qingxue nodded, put down the teacup, bowed to Princess Anyang, nodded to Princess Lin, and left with the maid.

A few days later, Princess Lin returned to her parents' home and told her mother, Princess An, about the matter between Lin Lang and Lian.

No one knows what the mother and daughter talked about. All we know is that after the conversation, Princess An called Prince An and his wife over and scolded them.

Immediately afterwards, Princess An separated Zhao Linlang and Lian, and no longer allowed the mother and daughter to meet.

Zhao Linlang was originally raised by Princess An herself. She had a weak relationship with her biological parents. However, it was okay with Prince An, as the father and daughter had some affection for each other.

However, Zhao Linlang was very troubled by Prince An's wife. She was not stupid. She knew exactly why she grew up with her grandmother, who was sincere to her and who was using her.

Zhao Linlang, who had heard servants talk about gossip in the mansion since she was a child, really couldn't get close to Lian. But she was her biological mother after all, and the word "filial piety" prevented her from doing anything.

Fortunately, the situation was quickly reversed. Princess An personally took action to suppress the Lian family, giving Zhao Linlang a chance to catch her breath.

Zhao Linlang quickly figured it out. The Duke of Huguo's Mansion was not dissatisfied with her, but was dissatisfied with her having such a mother.

After figuring this out, Zhao Linlang realized that only the Duke of Huguo's Mansion could protect her in the entire imperial city, and that Gu Huaiyuan might be her only good match.

If she did not marry Gu Huaiyuan, she would be promised by Lian to a man who could bring her benefits, regardless of his identity, age, or whether he was suitable for her.

Zhao Linlang was not stupid. When she thought of this, she knew that this was her only chance to escape from Prince An's Mansion and the Lian family.

So, when Princess An came to talk to her, Zhao Linlang told her her thoughts without hiding anything.

At the Duke of Huguo's mansion, as Gu Xiaoya's wedding date was approaching, the mansion became busy.

Gu Jinxuan had already arranged for carpenters to make furniture for Gu Xiaoya's dowry, including beds, boxes, tables, chairs, benches, wooden barrels, wooden basins, etc., all made of fine wood.

Lin Qingxue asked the embroiderer and Gu Xiaoya to do it for the four seasons. She prepared four sets of clothes and shoes and socks for each season, all made of fine cloth and silk.

As for the brocade and fragrant gauze that Lin Qingxue found in her private vault last time, she put them in her dowry.

There are also various porcelains, including bowls, chopsticks, plates, teacups, vases and other utensils.

Not to mention all kinds of jewelry, Princess Anyang and Commandery Lady Lin picked out the finest headpieces, beads, earrings, rings, hairpins, etc. from their private vaults, including gold, silver and jade ornaments.

The wedding of Gu Xiaoya and the eldest son of the crown prince attracted everyone's attention. Gu Huaiyuan sent a memorial to the emperor early on to ask to come back to attend the wedding banquet. He even had to leave the house without Gu Xiaoya's knowledge!

The October sunshine brought just the right amount of warmth, and Gu Xiaoya's wedding date arrived as scheduled. The Duke of Huguo's Mansion was decorated with lights and red silk curtains fluttered in the breeze, and the atmosphere of festivity was everywhere in the mansion.

Gu Huaiyuan was wearing an indigo brocade robe and had an upright posture. He was waiting in the inner courtyard early, ready to carry his sister out.

In Gu Xiaoya's yard, Gu Huaining and Gu Xiaowan were sitting in the room with her. Early in the morning, a nanny came to give her a facial massage, clean her face, and dress her up.

After a series of procedures, it was already noon. Fortunately, at noon, Lin Qingxue had someone deliver noodles to the three sisters.

"Sister, are you nervous about getting married today?" Gu Huaining walked back and forth in the house. He felt quite bad thinking that his elder sister was going to marry someone else today and they wouldn't be able to meet often in the future.

"Don't be nervous. My mother told me not to worry. I'm just married now. It's not like I won't see you forever. She told me to come back and visit if I miss home," Gu Xiaoya said in a calm tone.

After hearing what Gu Xiaoya said, Gu Huaining and Gu Xiaowan felt even more uncomfortable. At this moment, Gu Huaining couldn't help but wonder if her mother would say the same things to her if she got married in the future.

There were knocking sounds in the front yard, and the voices of Zhao Boyu and Gu Huaiyuan could be heard from afar. It was obvious that he was coming to pick up the bride.

After a lot of trouble, Zhao Boyu finally got the recognition of Gu Huaiyuan and Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers, and was allowed into Gu Xiaoya's yard.

"My wife, I'm here to take you home," Zhao Boyu stood in the yard and shouted with a proud look on his face.

"Brother-in-law, my eldest sister won't just go home with you. My brothers are easy to talk to, but we two sisters are not so easy to talk to."

Hearing Zhao Boyu's voice, Gu Huaining opened the door and stuck her head out. She looked at Zhao Boyu expressionlessly, and glared at Gu Huaiyuan and the others with disappointment.

As soon as Gu Huaining said this, the yard became quiet for a moment, followed by a burst of laughter.

Zhao Boyu was not annoyed, but smiled even more deeply. He took out the prepared red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gu Huaining: "Second sister, what are you talking about? Today, I must show my full sincerity before you can take away my beautiful wife."

At this time, Gu Xiaowan, who was hiding behind the door, also poked her head out, staring at the red envelope with sparkling eyes: "Brother-in-law, just one red envelope is not enough. The sisters' troubles haven't started yet!"

Upon hearing this, the wedding party around Zhao Boyu started to make a fuss, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Amid the noise of everyone's laughter, Gu Huaiyuan smiled and patted Zhao Boyu's shoulder: "Brother-in-law, you asked for this. My sisters are not easy to fool. It depends on your performance from now on."

Zhao Boyu nodded confidently and responded loudly: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Gu Huaining's eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind. He said loudly, "Brother-in-law, I heard that you are very talented. Today, I will write a poem on the theme of this wedding. If you can satisfy us sisters, I will allow you to come in and take my eldest sister home."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him cheered, all wanting to see Zhao Boyu's literary talent.

Zhao Boyu pondered for a moment, then looked gently at the closed door and said aloud, "The red candlelight illuminates the wedding hall, the beautiful woman smiles with her new makeup, a marriage blessed by heaven, a knot of love, hand in hand for the rest of our lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers rang out all around. Gu Huaining and Gu Xiaowan looked at each other, their eyes full of amazement.

However, Gu Huaining did not intend to give up. She raised a new challenge: "Brother-in-law, a poem alone is not enough. You must also describe the situation when you and my eldest sister first met. You must describe it vividly so that we can be immersed in the scene."

Zhao Boyu was not at all nervous. He cleared his throat and slowly told the story of how they met.

His words were vivid and his emotions were sincere. Everyone listened attentively, as if they had witnessed that romantic encounter with their own eyes.

While everyone was immersed in Zhao Boyu's story, Gu Xiaoya in the room had already blushed with shame. Gu Huaining saw that he had easily solved his several embarrassments.

Even though I am not convinced, I have no choice but to give up!

Gu Huaining reluctantly pushed open the door, and the first thing he saw was Gu Xiaoya sitting quietly on the bed in a wedding dress with a red veil covering her head.

Seeing this, Zhao Boyu quickly stepped forward, took Gu Xiaoya's hand, and said affectionately: "My wife, I'm finally here to pick you up."

"It's getting late, Boyu, carry Xiaoya to the front yard to get married first," Gu Huaiyuan looked at the time. If he delayed any further, it would be unlucky to miss the auspicious time.

"Okay," Zhao Boyu responded, and then he carried Gu Xiaoya in a princess hug and walked towards the front yard with big and quick steps.

Seeing his anxious look, the people who came with him burst into laughter again and started to make fun of him.

The banquet table in the front yard was already full of guests. Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue sat on the high table, with the Duke of Huguo, Princess Anyang, and Gu Jinyu and his wife sitting on either side.

Zhao Boyu carried Gu Xiaoya to Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue. When he saw the newlyweds coming, the emcee started singing and saying auspicious words.

Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

The host's loud voice sounded, and Zhao Boyu gently put Gu Xiaoya down. The two stood side by side and bowed deeply to the outside.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, and Gu Xiaoya's red veil fluttered gently. Zhao Boyu subconsciously reached out to hold it down for her.

This subtle gesture, filled with endless pampering, made the surrounding guests smile knowingly.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

As the host sang the lyrics, the two turned around and faced Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue.

Gu Jinxuan looked at his eldest daughter, his eyes slightly red, and his daughter's every smile and frown in the past kept appearing in his mind; Lin Qingxue smiled, her eyes full of expectations for her daughter's life after marriage.

Zhao Boyu and Gu Xiaoya bowed respectfully to express their gratitude to their parents for raising them.

"Couple greetings!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the two slowly bowed to each other, then stood up and faced Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue.

"The ceremony is over, the auspicious time has arrived. Please ask the bride's brothers to carry the bride out. The groom will lead the wedding party to collect the bride's dowry and take the bride home."

The host shouted loudly, and the atmosphere instantly became lively. Many people were curious about the bride's dowry. They knew that the bride was brought by the prince's wife, and was not his biological daughter. They also didn't know how much dowry the prince would prepare.

Gu Huaiyuan came to Gu Xiaoya, squatted down, carried Gu Xiaoya on his back and walked outside. After they walked out of the gate of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, he didn't let her feet touch the ground and directly put her in the sedan chair.

"Xiaoya, if you are bullied after you get married, just come home to find your father and mother. We are your supporters and we will always be a family."

Gu Huaiyuan put Gu Xiaoya in the sedan chair and spoke in a low voice so that no one else could hear it except Gu Xiaoya.

Because what he said was indeed extremely treasonous. The crown prince has a special status as the eldest son and is likely to become the emperor in the future.

"I understand, big brother," Gu Xiaoya was very touched, and her voice was a little choked when she replied.

Gu Huaiyuan didn't say anything else. After getting out of the sedan chair, he saw Zhao Boyu standing beside him waiting.

"Take the sedan chair and return to the palace," Zhao Boyu saluted Gu Huaiyuan. He waved his hand, and the eunuch beside him immediately shouted in a very shrill voice.

Watching the team gradually moving away, Gu Huaiyuan turned back to the front hall to drink until he could no longer see them.

After seeing off the newlyweds, the banquet here was almost over, and it was time for everyone to move to the East Palace to attend the wedding banquet.

After seeing off the guests, Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue returned to their own yard with calm expressions. Gu Jinyu and his wife stayed behind to give orders to clean up the mess.

Princess Anyang called Gu Huaiyuan to her Dongyang Garden, and Princess An and Zhao Linlang also went with her.

Today, we came to Gu's house for a drink. Lian wanted to come along, but Princess An kept her at home on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Zhao Linlang was wearing a goose yellow skirt and a pearl hairpin in her hair. Led by Princess An, she came to Dongyang Garden. She saw the young man standing in front of Princess Anyang at a glance. He was wearing an indigo brocade robe and looked very imposing. He was obviously not an ordinary person.

"Old sister, you really gave me face today by coming here in person to drink the wedding wine," Princess Anyang looked at Princess An with a smile on her face. She thought it would be Lian who came today.

"I have to come to your wedding in person, or you'll scold me later!"

Princess An also responded with a smile, saying that they had been good friends since they were young, but they had not been in touch for many years. However, the friendship they had in their youth was there and could not be erased.

"Haha, how dare I? This is my eldest grandson, Gu Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan, this is Princess An. You can just call her Aunt. This is your Aunt's granddaughter, Linlang."

Princess Anyang introduced Princess An and Gu Huaiyuan with a smile. This was the purpose of today, otherwise this meeting would not have been arranged.

When Gu Huaiyuan heard what Princess Anyang said, he politely bowed to Princess An and asked Zhao Linlang questions.
