Before he went to worship …

It was a good morning. The gongs and drums were already resounding outside. Wangchuan listened to the sound of the drums outside the room. His heart was beating faster, and he didn't know where to look, feeling that it wasn't appropriate to place his hands.

This series of actions amused Mo Yun and Qiu Ju, who were dressing her up.

"Miss, you don't have to be so nervous." Qiuju wanted to relieve the tension in Wenchuan's heart, so she spoke up.

However, she was rejected by Mo Yun, "This marriage is the most important moment for a woman's life, it would be strange if she isn't nervous."

"Even though you said that, look at how beautiful our family's young lady is. Young lady, don't worry, we will definitely dress you up beautifully to see a thousand years old." Autumn Chrysanthemum also seemed to be under the influence of this joyous atmosphere, and her entire being was brimming with joy.

Mo Yun stood to the side like a white chrysanthemum, "You guys can do it yourselves, I don't want to help!" Mo Yun wanted to be a shopkeeper, but was pulled over by Autumn Flower. "How can you be idle on such a big day! "Come and help."

Wu Chuan's tense body gradually relaxed as he listened to their quarrelling.

Wangchuan sat obediently in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the table full of cosmetics. She felt very unfamiliar with it. As a woman, her daily focus was on how to perfectly complete her mission and assassinate her without leaving a trace.

Right now, she was actually sitting here and becoming a real woman. This made her feel as if she was dreaming. Forgotten had imagined his wedding with Gu Zheng countless times before, but it was still a fantasy.

"Miss, your skin is so nice. With just a casual drawing, you're already a great beauty." Qiu Ju said with a smile.

He looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes like clear water in a deep pool. They were cold, as if he could see through everything. Her snow-white skin was pinkish, tender enough to pinch water, and she didn't leave any marks on his face due to the frequent exposure to the wind and water.

Her two red lips were as red as blood, causing people to feel that if this were to happen, any further drawing would already be unnecessary. Wu Chuan didn't know that he had such a devastatingly beautiful face. That's right, he normally hid himself in the darkness, so how could he have noticed all of this?

After tidying up, Qiuju looked at Wenchuan with satisfaction. She picked up the comb in her hand and untied Wenchuan's hair. Her long hair spread out like a waterfall, and her black hair was clearly visible.

Qiu Ju passed the comb to Mo Yun. "Sister Mo Yun, come here."

"Alright." Mo Yun took the comb and combed it to the end of his hair. "One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrows."

Mo Yun's actions reminded him of that day at the Gu Residence.

The aunt did the same for herself.

"One comb to the end, two combs to the eyebrows, three combs to the children and grandchildren …"

That day, the gentleness of his mother was obvious.

After a while, Mo Yunqiu combed the loose strands of her hair, tied them up, and put on an empty phoenix headdress along with a few other shiny hairpins.

"Mm …" It's so heavy! " As she spoke, her hand unconsciously reached out to remove the accessories on her head. Normally, she would only wear a simple wooden hairpin, but now, she felt uncomfortable with it.

Seeing Wu Chuan's actions, the two maids hastily stopped him, "Miss, it's only been a short while, you just have to bear with it!"

Wu Chuan heaved a deep sigh. In this day of celebration, it was best to follow the rules.

The bright red flowery dress covered by a thin red muslin added a hint of brilliance to the originally monotonous clothing. The wide hem was embroidered with a yellow and pink pattern. Through the muslin, the pattern was faintly discernible. The phoenix design was very novel.

The phoenix crown on his head was shining brightly.

He saw that Wu Chuan's eyebrows were like jade feathers and his muscles were like sheep fat. Her face was decorated with peach blossoms, a maidservant piled up golden phoenix silk, and a phoenix coronet and gown could be described as extremely beautiful.

It took him four hours to get dressed up. Wu Chuan looked out the window and saw that the sun was already high up in the sky. The auspicious day was about to arrive.

After an hour, someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Good morning. Please move to the main hall, bride."

"We're here, we're finally here." Mo Yun was somewhat agitated. From the morning until now, he had been waiting for these words. He slowly got up from the bench, then he took out a scarf to cover Wu Chuan's face and helped him out of the room.

The group walked at a leisurely pace. The room was not far from the main hall, but she seemed to have walked for a long time. The sounds of the crowd and the gongs and drums were getting closer and closer, and she knew by the sound of her voice that she had arrived.

"The new bride has arrived. The auspicious hour is not waiting for anyone. Begin the salutation." the matriarch shouted from beside Wei Yi.

Wei Yi followed the gaze of the crowd and looked towards Wu Chuan. Even though he couldn't see Wu Chuan's face, Wei Yi knew that she was definitely extremely beautiful.

The wedding dress seemed to fit Wenchuan very well. When Wei Yi saw it, his eyes were filled with a deep sense of affection.

"One …" Before he could finish, Gu Zheng spoke, "Stop!"

Subsequently, Wei Yi's expression changed as he looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Why did Lord Gu ask me to stop?"

Gu Zheng didn't want to pay any attention to Wei Yi. He walked straight up to Wangchuan and called out to her. "Wangchuan …"

Wu Chuan took off his mask, but what replaced it was a look of endless confusion and complaint.

"You don't have to look at me like that." Gu Zheng opened his mouth and said, "I'm not here to ruin your wedding banquet." Gu Zheng's cold face was no longer the same as before, and the love and gentleness in his eyes could not be concealed.

He turned to Wei Yi and said, "No matter how weak Wu Chuan is, he is still someone from my Gu Estate, so he should still be elegantly married off. Wu Chuan has grown up by my side since childhood, so he should … Should she be his sister? As an elder brother, I naturally have to prepare some dowry. "

Xia Yuan brought in boxes after boxes of jewelry with four or five attendants. Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Wangchuan. "Wangchuan, this is a little gift from me. You've suffered so much for so many years." There was an indescribable sadness in Gu Zheng's eyes, but it seemed to pass in an instant.

Wangchuan froze on the spot, obviously not knowing what Gu Zheng's gourd was selling.

Everyone who was sitting started to boil with excitement.

"Is Miss Wangchuan someone from the Gu Residence?"

"I think so, but how come I've never heard of it?"

"Gu Residence has always been like this. It's normal that you've never heard of it. However, isn't this the equivalent of a marriage between Gu Zheng and Wei Yi?"

"Why don't you understand? "Master Gu must be interested in Miss Wangchuan. However, there's nothing that can be done. Wei Qianshui will be the first to leave. I can only accept his decision now."

"..."

Gu Zheng squeezed out a comforting smile towards Wu Chuan and extended his hand towards his hand.

Forgotten instinctively hid his hand a little, but Gu Zheng still approached and took off the red veil in her hand.

Wu Chuan was stunned.

When he finally regained his senses, Wangchuan's head was already covered in a red veil. Gu Zheng looked down at Wangchuan from above. She was truly beautiful, and it was obvious that Wei Yi had expended quite a bit of effort just to accomplish all these.

Indeed, although he didn't know if Wangchuan would be happy to marry a eunuch, it was still much better than fighting and killing with him back then.

Initially, she had always been with him and was used to licking blood on the tip of a blade. Naturally, she had not been used to having her life go smoothly, and had neglected the fact that Wu Chuan was actually just a woman.

What she wanted was not the days when she would lick blood on the blade of a knife, but the days when she would sing with the husband and the wife, days and nights when they would warm each other up.

Obviously, Gu Zheng could not do this.

Therefore, he really should leave the scene.

In the end, when all the beheading had been done, Gu Zheng turned around and left without looking back. As he moved to Wei Yi's side, he asked, "May I ask Wei Qianshui if I, Gu Zheng, can beg for a meal today?"
