Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Xiaonan, upon hearing this, hurriedly said, “She must be speaking ill of Mother in front of Daddy. I’ll go take a look!”
Feng Yuanxi thought to himself that Daddy liked Mother so much that even if Yu Huarong spoke ill of her, Daddy wouldn’t believe a word. Instead, he might grow resentful of Yu Huarong.
Yu Huarong had seemed quite clever before, but if she made a foolish move this time, it would be to their advantage.
Back in the capital, Yu Huarong had tried various ways to win Daddy’s favor in her pursuit of marrying him, but she was coldly rejected by him.
He wasn’t one to gossip, and as long as she didn’t harm him, he wouldn’t say anything to Daddy. That’s why Yu Huarong was able to remain unscathed until now.
Gu Qingluan was also unfazed.
It was a good opportunity to see how Feng Tianlan would handle this situation.
After all, Yu Huarong was Feng Tianlan’s cousin.
Would he choose to believe her or trust Gu Qingluan?
Gu Qingluan was quite curious.
“Cousin, it’s been a long time!”
After stopping Feng Tianlan, Yu Huarong got out of her carriage and approached him.
Feng Tianlan had just finished some business and saw Yu Huarong appear here. He instinctively furrowed his brows and asked, “What are you doing here?”
As Yu Huarong got closer to him within a meter, he took two steps back, creating distance between them.
Yu Huarong’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly adjusted her emotions, and her brows curved slightly as she said, “I heard Cousin is getting married, so I happened to be nearby and came to see. Cousin, have you informed Aunt? Why the hurry? Wouldn’t it be better to return to the capital and prepare for a grand wedding?”
“Doing it here makes no difference,” Feng Tianlan replied indifferently.
Yu Huarong smiled and said, “How could it be the same? Doesn’t Cousin want to give the bride a grand wedding? Every woman would want their wedding to be grand right?”
“This is Qingluan’s home, far from the capital. We’ll have one here first, and another one when we return to the capital.”
This time, Feng Tianlan spoke a bit more, but his words felt like a sharp knife piercing through her heart.
Yu Huarong thought to herself, “It would have been better not to say anything!”
She struggled to maintain her smile. Without wearing a veil at this moment, she didn’t want to leave a bad impression. She tried her best to appear more natural and said, “I see, Cousin has it all planned out. It seems I worried too much. However, not informing Aunt and His Majesty in advance, would that make them unhappy?”
Without waiting for Feng Tianlan to respond, she quickly said, “I know His Majesty and Aunt won’t blame you, but they might blame the new bride.”
Feng Tianlan replied with a stern tone, “If they don’t like it, they don’t have to come.”
“This… wouldn’t it be against etiquette? With so many people watching in the capital, there might be gossip…”
Before Yu Huarong could finish, Feng Tianlan interrupted her impatiently, “Who dares to gossip about my wife?”
His protective attitude, filled with dominance, made Yu Huarong almost struggle to keep her smiling face.
She only tried to test the waters, hoping they might postpone the wedding, and at the same time, she wanted to see how much he valued Gu Qingluan. She hadn’t expected him to be so concerned about Gu Qingluan!
Why?
What was it about that woman that made him treat her like this?
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go in first. You should head back soon.”
Feng Tianlan left her without asking about her accommodation.
The contrast between their attitudes made his indifference towards her even more apparent.
Yu Huarong clenched her fingers tightly together in front of her, digging them into her flesh. She struggled to restrain her inner turmoil and hastily called out to him, “Cousin! Wait a moment!”
Feng Tianlan stopped and turned to look at her, his expression still cold and distant.. “Is there something else?”
