The few words Prime Minister Gu said made the second prince speechless.

The expressions of the courtiers were different. Except for those who were on the side of the second prince, they all looked like they were watching the show. Some people felt that Prime Minister Gu was really risking his life this time. They also talked about such things openly and sincerely let them all know. I'm sorry to say anything unfavorable to Prime Minister Gu.

The second prince looked at the account books that Prime Minister Gu took out, one by one, making his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He had known that Gu Ruanruan was not an economical person, he only thought about a woman in the house, and he was just acting a little out of the ordinary, so what else could he do? He would just ask her to restrain herself in the future, but he never expected that the truth would be so shocking. How could the word "out of line" explain this?

He simply disregarded propriety, justice and integrity and acted recklessly to the extreme!

He began to regret listening to Taoist Master Mu and getting involved with Gu Ruanruan!

Being involved with such a woman would have a great impact on his own reputation!

Prime Minister Gu quietly listened to the discussion in the court hall and looked at the unpredictable expressions of the second prince before speaking leisurely for a long while.

"This matter is due to my lack of discipline, and you are all laughing at it. The matter in my inner house has also been brought to the court. Please forgive me, I am willing to be punished."

Emperor Ye coughed slightly, and now he had some clues.

The second son was just trying to do something by taking advantage of the affairs of Prime Minister Gu's family, but he missed a move and was defeated by an army.

Emperor Ye pondered for a moment, thinking that Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu were about to get married, and that Gu Baifeng went to do something under his order this time, and the mission was done very well. He couldn't embarrass Prime Minister Gu at this juncture;

As for the second prince, he had just submitted the drawings of the waterwheel, and he had indeed made a great contribution. He couldn't blame him, so he just laughed and revealed the matter.

For Prime Minister Gu, he only gave a few verbal reprimands, but for the second prince, he was told that if he really couldn't bear it, he could contribute his own money and effort.

This is a big deal for each of them, and no one will be held accountable.

After the morning court, Prime Minister Gu ignored the inquiries and concerns of the courtiers and hurried back to his residence with his son Gu Baifeng.

His daughter is getting married tomorrow, and the house is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. It is a busy time. If it weren't for dealing with the second prince's affairs, he would have wanted to take leave today!

When I returned to the mansion, I saw the newly hung red lanterns at the door of the Prime Minister's mansion from a distance.

Prime Minister Gu was happy, while Gu Baifeng had mixed feelings.

It's one thing to just say that Xiao Yanlin is a good man, but it's another thing for his sister to get married.

Gu Baiyu is currently confirming the final procedures for tomorrow with Lingyu, holding a piece of red paper to check the time.

In addition to the dowry that had been prepared long ago, there were also many items on Xiao Yanlin's list in the yard. They had all been taken back, and they were piled together and looked very festive.

She was looking at the list when she looked up and saw Gu Baifeng coming back, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Dad, brother, are you back? Are there any changes in the court?"

Gu Baifeng talked about what happened in the court today in a few words. When Gu Baiyu heard Gu Baifeng say, Prime Minister Gu asked where the second prince and Gu Ruanruan had the same aspirations, whether they were men disguised as women to visit brothels, or to persuade women in brothels to be good. , when he persuaded a good woman to elope, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What dad said is really hurtful."

"Who makes them uneasy?"

Gu Baifeng changed the topic and looked at the list in Gu Baiyu's hand with some distress in his eyes: "Just teach the servants to do these things. Why do you need to do it yourself?"

Gu Baiyu's cheeks felt a little hot: "I just want to be perfect."

Gu Baifeng looked at Gu Baiyu with complicated eyes. His sister was really moved, so she did everything by herself. He didn't know whether this was good or bad.

"Is that what you expect?"

"Brother, this is my wedding, a major event in my life. Don't you want me to be happy?"

"No." Gu Baifeng recovered his emotions and asked another thing: "Gu Ruanruan will also be sent to Xiao's house tomorrow, right? How is it arranged?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Gu Baiyu's lips faded a little.

"Originally, Second Young Master Xiao wanted to show pampering to Gu Ruanruan. Even if she was a concubine, he asked her to go out with me in the morning. He came to greet the bride in person and wrote the betrothal gift for her. However, the Marquis told him the day before yesterday that Gu Ruanruan and Regarding the matter of the second prince, Second Young Master Xiao is probably frustrated and said that he can just carry her to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the evening, and he will not come to welcome the bride."

The etiquette of marriage in Daye is as follows. If a matchmaker is getting married, it is three letters and six etiquettes. The betrothal is made in advance, the bride is welcomed early in the morning, playing music and playing, and the wedding is carried out in a lively manner. When the mother-in-law arrives, the main door is opened and the marriage is solemnly celebrated;

But if it is a concubine, it will be wrapped in a piece of red silk in the evening and carried directly into the house from the side door, without any other etiquette.

After all, a concubine can only be regarded as a servant.

After Gu Baiyu finished speaking, both brother and sister fell silent.

In fact, Gu Baiyu left a lot of room for Gu Ruanruan. If she was honest, and according to Xiao Ruoyun's somewhat soft-hearted temperament, she would not embarrass Gu Ruanruan too much. After getting married and living a good life, it would not be impossible for the concubine to be straightened out in the future.

But Gu Ruan Ruan was arrogant and only cared about himself, leaving no room for others, and that's why he got to where he is today.

Gu Baiyu sighed, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Brother, don't worry about it. You just came back. Have a good rest. My brother will have to work hard tomorrow to carry me out."

It happened that Mrs. Gu ordered someone to come and report that she had something to do with Gu Baiyu, so the brother and sister separated.

Gu Baiyu went to Mrs. Gu's room.

Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, Mrs. Gu smiled and waved, "Come to mother."

He also ordered everyone to go out, not even Lingyu was left behind.

After everyone left, Gu Baiyu seemed to feel something and was a little restless in his chair.

Mrs. Gu knew her daughter very well, so she immediately laughed, with a gentle tone and a bit of teasing: "Are you sorry?"

After speaking, he took out a small box from the room and handed it to Gu Baiyu.

Looking at the familiar small box in his hand, Gu Baiyu's cheeks burned: "Mother..."

"You are going to get married, and you have to learn all these things. You have been smart and thin-skinned since you were a child, and my mother won't let the nuns in the house teach you. Go and see for yourself."

Gu Baiyu nodded with a red face, the box in his hand was like a hot potato.

She knew what was in this box. It was the secret technique of the three houses, which taught people the joy of the house. It was also something that every woman must learn when she gets married.

Mrs. Gu also taught her things in this way in her previous life, hoping that her daughter would be in harmony with her husband after she got married;

It's a pity that Xiao Ruoyun was thinking about Gu Ruanruan at that time. Gu Ruanruan seemed to finally understand his feelings when he saw Xiao Ruoyun getting married.

So, it was supposed to be Gu Baiyu's wedding night, but Xiao Ruoyun stayed away all night. The day that was supposed to be warm with red candles turned into a night when Xiao Ruoyun and Gu Ruanruan exchanged their feelings and fell in love.

Gu Baiyu still remembers that night, she wore a hijab alone until dawn, and then there was Xiao Ruoyun's avoidance and endless indifference...

Gu Baiyu took the box in his hand and walked out of the room. He lowered his eyes and looked at the things in his hand, but he was very happy in his heart.

Fortunately, fortunately, even in the previous life, Xiao Ruoyun didn't touch her, so that when she meets the person she likes in this life, she will be complete in body and mind.

She could give herself completely to Xiao Yanlin.
