"When I didn’t have that marriage letter, I wanted to move and did so all the same, didn’t I?" Gu Changsheng immediately retorted upon hearing this.
Damn it, so this marriage letter makes no difference to her, whether she has it or not!
No! Actually, there is a difference!
The difference is, she inexplicably became Zhou Mu’s fiancée!
This deal, what a loss!
Zhou Zongbao was left speechless by Gu Changsheng’s words, raising his hand pointing at her, and with a helpless look, finally spoke resentfully, "I say, Gu Changsheng, what exactly are you unsatisfied with? Is my Young Master’s Little Wood not good enough for you, or what? You’re pushing back and forth, finding fault with everything!"
"Exactly! Gu Changsheng, don’t act all coy when you’ve got a bargain! My senior brother, he’s a rare gem on earth and a beauty above in the heavens! Of brilliant spirit and graceful like a jade tree from the heavenly realm... no words are enough to describe his excellence! Such a fine ’cabbage’ has been snagged by you, what more could you possibly be unsatisfied with?" Borjigin Nian, limping over, leaned on the doorframe and spoke with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"The key point is, my master is willing to give his all for Lady Changsheng! Tell me, which man in this world would promise on the marriage letter to dedicate his life to one person alone? Lady Changsheng, it’s hard to find a precious gem and even harder to find a loving man. You and my master have fixed this marriage arrangement, now having both the precious gem and the loving man, isn’t it the best of both worlds?" Jiang San hurriedly spoke in support of his master from the side.
Although he still worried about his master’s days ahead, since his master was so infatuated with Lady Changsheng, they would do whatever it took to fulfill this heartfelt matter!
"Go to hell with your best of both worlds! You’re all in agreement against me, aren’t you? Do I even have a say anymore? My foster father and my son are teaming up to sell me out, and you all are pressuring me together? Do you leave any room for me at all?" Gu Changsheng spoke furiously.
"That’s not how you should see it, this is a joyful occasion. Once the marriage letter and the formal betrothal gift are sent to Capital City to the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall, the marriage will be set. Once Zhou Mu returns victorious to the court, the imperial clan will handle the engagement details for you two. You just peacefully be Zhou Mu’s fiancée, wait until the rituals are complete, set the wedding date, and then just wait to marry and leave the familial home!" Mr. Ban Shan spoke cheerfully, "I’ve only ever had you as a daughter in my life, I will give you all of my property as your dowry to see you off in splendor!"
"Yes, yes! Old servant will also do everything possible to make arrangements for you, my lady!" Uncle Song also spoke moved from the side.
Mr. Ban Shan and Uncle Song exchanged a glance, comfort flashing in their eyes.
Zhou Mu’s method is truly effective!
Now, his daughter was no longer listless and dispirited.
If he could bring his daughter back to her usual self, even if he unilaterally settled this marriage and made her unhappy, what of it?
He just hoped that his daughter could forget those unhappy things and live happily!
"Alright, alright! Stop talking!" Gu Changsheng waved her hands furiously upon hearing this, and turned to leave, "Not even one stroke of the character for the marriage date has been drawn yet, and here you are talking about dowry and leaving the home. How much do you despise me!"
"Hey, hey! Lady Changsheng, don’t leave! You haven’t told me what to do about Liuzhou City!" Seeing Lady Changsheng leaving, Du Chenzhi immediately spoke anxiously.
He couldn’t handle the big mess of Liuzhou Region by himself!
"Go to my foster father! He’s so idle now that he’s even thinking of selling his daughter! Go to him with whatever issues you have!" Gu Changsheng waved her hand without turning back, covering her forehead as she walked forward, "I need to be alone! I need to be alone!"
This move by the evildoer, striking first and playing later, was too unexpected for her!
Since she had known him, the evildoer had never taken things into his own hands, and this sudden move left her feeling awfully flustered and unable to resist!
"Tsk tsk... she’s still not happy with it! When the marriage letter and formal betrothal gift reach Capital City, Young Master’s Imperial Brother will probably be even less happy than her!" Zhou Zongbao, watching Gu Changsheng leaving, couldn’t help but murmur.
With the Imperial Decree of the Founding Ancestors stamped on the marriage letter, even Emperor Zhoulin couldn’t change it!
This marriage, though the ceremonies have not yet proceeded on the surface, was irrevocable from the moment the marriage letter was stamped with the Imperial Decree of the Founding Ancestors!
Gu Changsheng lay on the warm couch at Lake Heart Pavilion, listening to the gentle sound of the water, and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Zhou Mu suddenly sending the marriage letter, deciding the marriage, his intention was clear to Gu Changsheng!
He just feared she dwelled on the deaths associated with Ning Er and others, couldn’t let go, so he first sent Jiang One with so many wounded and disabled soldiers, then pinned the big hat of a decided marriage on her head!
All just to distract her!
Now, she really was distracted! She felt utterly dejected!
"Damn it, every time you go off to war, you have to smear me! And each time it’s worse than the last! Are you addicted or what?" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but slap the railing and curse softly, "Each time darker than the last! Are you addicted or what?"
In all her previous and current lifetimes combined, she had never been engaged or married!
And now, she was actually tied down by a marriage letter!
She sees herself rushing toward becoming a married woman!
Is this supposed to make her life complete?
Who said that marriage is like a tomb, burying the living? Did she carelessly step into a grave?
Gu Changsheng angrily picked up a teacup nearby and chugged a mouthful of water.
"Are you going to practice dual cultivation with someone?" A cheekily pleased voice suddenly emerged in Gu Changsheng’s mind...
