Wang sat up straight from his embrace, complaining, "She's so good at hiding it. She's never revealed her sleeve in front of anyone. I sent someone to sneak into Twilight Snow Studio to investigate, but other than Yin Lan, Yin Zhu and Yanzhi, she never allows other maids to get close. Mother, she must be hiding something. She even dares to hide this big matter from the Eldest Prince! I'm afraid even Grandmother doesn't know. Should we tell Grandmother?"
Wang said, "Foolish child, if we tell your grandmother, she will probably try to help her hide it."
Gu Wan was extremely dissatisfied, "Why would Grandmother be so silly! She has never liked Gu Ying, so why is she helping her now!"
Wang really didn't know how her daughter's mind worked. She was probably so envious and jealous that she couldn't think straight, "Now that Gu Ying is engaged to the Eldest Prince, it's no longer a matter of whether your grandmother likes her or not."
Gu Wan cried in extreme disappointment, "Mother, then when can we let the Eldest Prince know Gu Ying's true face?"
Wang smiled and comforted her daughter, "Isn't she getting married tomorrow?"
Gu Wan stared blankly at Wang, "Mother means, tomorrow?"
Wang just smiled without replying. In her mind, she began to carefully plan. With their status, it would be almost impossible to meet the Eldest Prince alone to expose Gu Ying.
But tomorrow was the best opportunity.
Gu Wan seemed to realize something. She immediately smiled knowingly, "I understand! Tomorrow the manor will be filled with guests, and the Eldest Prince will also come in person to fetch her. If at that time..."
Wang's smile deepened. Her daughter couldn't stand Second Madam's arrogance these days, and neither could she.
Especially that wicked Zhao girl, who knows when she started colluding with Gu Ying. With Mrs. Liu gone, Zhao managed to steal the spotlight.
Fortunately, she had long seen that Zhao was pregnant, and made preparations by sending her many supplements.
She heard that Zhao really liked the things she sent over, and took them diligently every day to nourish her body. Watching Zhao's belly grow bigger and bigger day by day.
In a few months, with such a big baby, it would be hard for her to give birth. She and the baby would both die.
Then this manor would be her world.
...
Time flew by, and it was soon the eve of the big wedding.
Gu Ying looked calm on the surface, but her heart was still nervous.
Although she didn't know what the scene was like in the Duke's manor, Twilight Snow Studio in the Earl's manor was filled with joy. From top to bottom, the maids and servants all wore big red belts around their waists.
Red lanterns illuminated the corridors, lighting up the entire residence.
"Miss, wake up!"
Gu Ying had barely fallen asleep when the maids woke her up. Gu Shuang also joined in the fun, sitting on her bedside, laughing teasingly, "Eldest sister, today is your big wedding day. How can you be so lazy? What will the Eldest Prince think if he knows!"
Having just woken up, Gu Ying's voice was still nasal. Her mind hadn't fully reacted yet, "Mm...so sleepy."
She hadn't slept well for days, having been taking care of Gu Ning in Muffeng Studio. She finally got to sleep a little, how could she be getting married so soon?
She sat quietly for a long time, surrounded by a group of chattering maids and servants.
Aunt Zhao was a boisterous woman. She brought her own maids from her courtyard early in the morning, laughing and saying that she wanted to hold up the scene for her.
Since Gu Ying helped Aunt Zhao once, Aunt Zhao had treated Gu Ying like her own daughter.
She was very clear that Gu Ying was the legitimate daughter of Second Madam, and was alone without any support.
Her daughter Gu Shuang was close with Gu Ying, which was only beneficial and not harmful. Also, Gu Ying had become a little different after nearly drowning. If it wasn't for her help, Mrs. Liu wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
In the future, after Mrs. Liu's storm passes, she will become the official Madam of the manor. Her daughter can also officially become a legitimate daughter. Her status when considering marriage proposals will be different. Besides, in the future she will be the Eldest Prince's wife, with a high status and position. There will be countless people wanting to get on her good side.
Therefore, she sincerely wanted to be on good terms with Gu Ying, so that Gu Ying could also assist Gu Shuang.
Gu Shuang hadn't slept all night. With such a big happy event in the manor, she simply stayed in Twilight Snow Studio to accompany her eldest sister since last night.
If she had known her eldest sister really couldn't get up, she wouldn't have chatted with her late into the night.
But today was a day of great joy in the Earl's manor, and also the Duke's big wedding. All the princes, nobles and prominent families of the capital would come to attend the wedding banquet. Even the Emperor sent esteemed envoys from the palace.
So her eldest sister had also invited the Fu family for her.
Thinking that she would be able to see Fu Xunzhi today, Gu Shuang's fingers fiddled with her handkerchief, increasingly excited, "Eldest sister...you have to cheer up."
Gu Ying helplessly glanced at the little maid, of course knowing what she was excited about, and gave her a look not to act rashly. Then she continued to close her eyes hazily, letting the maids make her up.
Grandmother's Li Mama had also come early in the morning, afraid that Twilight Snow Studio's small courtyard couldn't hold up the scene. She came to oversee things, personally urging those ignorant little maids to carefully serve the young ladies. Everything today could not have the slightest mistake.
Gu Ying sat quietly, her thoughts still a little fuzzy, but she could also hear the lively and luxurious bustle all around.
Compared to her lonely, bleak, and desolate marriage in her previous life, Twilight Snow Studio had never been so lively.
The Gu Jia of her previous life and the present her were really worth lamenting over.
She also wondered how Gu Jia's courtyard was like today?
Doukou had already been sold off, leaving only the weak Zhou Mama guarding Zhe Yu Residence.
Gu Jia's wedding today should also be underway. Last night, she had already come out from the Silent Room, arranged by Grandmother to stay in Zhe Yu Residence.
Jiang Yin's courtyard was even more ignored. Yanzhi said he had also prepared wedding attire.
No matter what happened before, today he still had to marry Gu Jia, to become an adopted son-in-law of the Earl's manor.
Their wedding time was in the morning. At this time, no one in the manor noticed there was another pair of newlyweds ready to worship the hall.
Everyone's attention was focused on the especially fancy Twilight Snow Studio.
After Gu Ying was dressed up, the maids happily pulled her up to change her into the big red bridal gown.
Wang sat up straight from his embrace, complaining, "She's so good at hiding it. She's never revealed her sleeve in front of anyone. I sent someone to sneak into Twilight Snow Studio to investigate, but other than Yin Lan, Yin Zhu and Yanzhi, she never allows other maids to get close. Mother, she must be hiding something.
