Dressed in her wedding gown and holding a round fan in both hands, Song Ruozhen arrived at the main hall with the help of her maids and nannies.

She spotted Chu Junting in his red wedding attire at a glance. It was rare to see him wear such a vibrant color. Compared to his usual reserved and composed demeanor, he exuded a more spirited and dashing air.

His features are handsome, and when he smiles, he appears even more relaxed and refined, losing some of his aloofness and coldness, and becoming as radiant as the sun, making it impossible to look away.

"Look how happy His Highness is! I've never seen His Highness the Prince of Chu so happy before," Meng Qin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, how could the groom not be happy? The prince was also exceptionally happy at the lantern festival that day, and now he has finally won the heart of his beauty!" Yun Nianchu said with a smile. "I heard that His Highness gave quite a lot of money as a wedding gift, and all the servants were overjoyed."

Gu Huan'er nodded repeatedly, took out the lucky money she had previously obtained by stopping the wedding party, and said, "I also snatched some for you. Take it quickly, hahaha."

Meng Qin and Yun Nianchu accepted the money with joy. When they saw the lucky money inside, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. No wonder the servants in the mansion were so happy. Who wouldn't be happy?

"Father-in-law, please have some of my new tea."

Chu Junting picked up a teacup from the side and handed it to Song Lin.

Song Lin smiled as he accepted the tea, took a sip, and offered a few words of advice. But his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears as he looked at his daughter, whom he had always doted on, who was now about to get married.

He felt reluctant to part with it just thinking about it.

"Mother-in-law, please have some of my new tea."

Chu Junting served tea to Gu Ruyan again, and Gu Ruyan also gave a few words of advice, wishing that the two children would live happily ever after.

Only after the tea ceremony was completed did Song Ruozhen leave the main hall with Chu Junting, preparing to board the bridal sedan chair and head to the Chu Prince's residence.

Gu Ruyan held Song Ruozhen's hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Zhen'er, you must be good from now on. No matter what happens, your parents will support you. Don't suffer any injustice."

"Mother, don't worry, I won't be wronged."

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly, but her eyes unconsciously reddened. "You know I'm not someone who's easy to bully."

Song Lin looked at Chu Junting with a serious expression. In fact, he had already said two days ago that if Zhen'er and Chu Junting were to have a bad relationship after marriage, or if Chu Junting had a new love interest, then Chu Junting should not bully her and should simply send her to the Song family.

They won't get entangled.

"Father-in-law, I will definitely treat Zhen'er well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance!" Chu Junting solemnly promised.

"Alright, alright." Song Lin nodded, patted Gu Ruyan, and said, "Hurry up and get Zhen'er into the bridal sedan chair, don't be late."

Gu Ruyan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood there watching her daughter get into the bridal sedan chair. As the wedding procession grew further and further away, she felt a sense of loss.

However, the next moment she suddenly heard a wail from beside her, and when she turned her head she saw the tall and strong Song Lin crying.

"My daughter..."

Gu Ruyan: "..." She knew it; Song Lin couldn't possibly hold back his tears!

"Alright, alright, stop crying." Gu Ruyan hugged Song Lin and patted his back. "The Chu Prince's Mansion isn't far from here, so it'll be easy for us to come back in the future. Besides, aren't we supposed to go back to our parents' home in three days?"

Song Lin was in tears, "Back when Zhen'er was born, she was so small. Of all the children, she was the thinnest and weakest at birth. It broke my heart to see her like that..."

Now, in the blink of an eye, she's married off. Looking at the older children in the family, apart from Yan Zhou who's married, the other three are still unmarried!

“If Yi’an hadn’t had that incident, she would be married by now.” Gu Ruyan thought for a moment and said, “Luckily, I didn’t marry her back then, otherwise it would have been a real misfortune for our family!”

Song Lin also heard about this and nodded, saying, "That kind of girl is indeed no good. Yi An made this marriage decision himself, which shows that he has poor judgment. You should help keep an eye on things when he gets engaged in the future."

Song Yi'an, who had just been delayed by something and hadn't left yet: "..."

He turned around and left quickly, otherwise the fire would have burned him!

Song Lin glanced at Song Yi'an, who had turned and left as if she had made up her mind, and asked, "Has the Liu family been looking for you recently?"

“They came looking for us, but I had already instructed my servants not to let them in.”

Gu Ruyan felt extremely disgusted when she recalled how the Liu family had treated her. For so many years, she had been heartbroken that her parents didn't like her and that she could never please them no matter what she did.

She has been heartbroken countless times because of this.

It wasn't until the children were all grown up that she learned the truth. Because they weren't her biological children, she could never satisfy them no matter what she did. The harder she tried, the more she was exploited.

“They’ve come looking for me since I came back. Today they said Zhen’er is getting married and that they want to bring gifts.”

Song Lin had a cold face. He had been exploiting Ru Yan for so many years, constantly seeking benefits. Now that she was desperate, she was coming to them again. Did they really think they were fools?

"They came today too?" Gu Ruyan frowned. "I made it very clear before that I wouldn't pay any attention to them no matter what, and they quieted down for a while. Why are they here again now?"

"Since Liu Yunwei's affair was exposed, Liu's father lost his official position, and Liu Yunyan was also divorced."

They only had a few shops, and you know how they run their businesses. Over the years, without our support, they would have opened one shop and closed another. Eventually, they simply rented the shops out to others and collected some rent.

"If we just sit around and do nothing, we'll eventually run out of money."

Song Lin's expression was indifferent. He had investigated the matter after returning, intending to teach the Liu family a lesson and help his wife vent her anger.

However, judging from their current behavior, it seems that he doesn't need to do anything, and they aren't much to be proud of.

"Today is Zhen'er's wedding day, we can't let them cause trouble." Gu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. When Yan Zhou got married, the Liu family took the opportunity to cause trouble.

If someone dares to cause trouble at Zhen'er's wedding today, wouldn't that be terrible?

"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare." Song Lin pulled Gu Ruyan, who was anxious to leave, and said, "What kind of place is the Prince's Mansion? If they dare to cause trouble, they'll have to be suicidal!"

Gu Ruyan then calmed down, "That's true, this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, no one dares to cause trouble..."

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The place was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and guests came and went, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

The steward of the Prince's mansion was smilingly entertaining the guests, and the palace had specially sent someone to do so.

As soon as Song Ruozhen stepped off the bridal sedan chair, she heard a chorus of praise and congratulations from all around her.

"The bride is absolutely stunning, like a fairy!"

"The King of Chu is even more handsome today. This marriage is truly a match made in heaven, and everyone envies him!"
