Unlike Lin Shuangshuang who was nervous, everyone in the Gu family was excited.

They don’t care whether Gu Hanzhou is a general or not, they just want to see the two of them reconcile.

"Your Majesty, the engagement between me and Miss Chen is only a temporary measure. There is no romantic relationship between us, nor are we husband and wife."

"Now that Miss Chen is married, the previous engagement is no longer valid. I would like to ask the Emperor to grant the marriage."

The emperor asked with a smile: "Who do you like, my dear?"

Gu Hanzhou glanced at Lin Shuangshuang and said seriously, "The person I love has never changed."

"Five years ago, I had to divorce my wife and sever ties with my parents in order to destroy the country. I am sorry for them."

"Now that I have achieved success and fame, I do not want any reward. I only hope to be able to continue my relationship with my first wife."

The emperor smiled cheerfully and glanced in the direction of the Gu family in the crowd. He knew that Gu Hanzhou had returned triumphantly to the capital today, and the Gu family must be there.

"Where is Lord Lin?"

Lin Shuangshuang glared at Gu Hanzhou, but was pushed forward by the person behind her.

"Hurry up, Shuang'er, the emperor is calling you."

"Hurry up and receive the decree. The Emperor wants to grant you marriage."

The happiest person was Yang, who laughed so hard that her teeth showed.

"Hurry up, Shuang'er. I've wronged you before. This time, mother will make you a wedding dress by hand and let the fourth son carry the sedan chair to marry you back."

On the other side, Liu and Wang squatted down and pointed at Gu Hanzhou, and said to the two children: "See, he is your father."

"Your father is a great hero, a great general, and a great man."

The two children are five years old this year. Although ignorant at the age of five, they can already distinguish between good and bad, and they also know that great heroes are respected and admired.

So, at the instigation of Liu and Wang, the two children ran towards Gu Hanzhou with excitement on their faces.

"Daddy, hug me."

"Dad is a great hero."

"Daddy is the best."

Gu Hanzhou's heart melted as he listened to the children's crisp, soft and warm voices.

He just squatted down and opened his arms, letting the two little babies bump into him.

The two children, one on each side, kissed Gu Hanzhou on the face several times.

After the kiss, he even shouted to Lin Shuangshuang: "Mom, mom, daddy is a great hero."

"Come and kiss daddy too."

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, making Lin Shuangshuang's face turn red.

Alas, she sighed and could only accept her fate and accept the order.

She can do without her husband, but her child cannot do without a father.

Now, seeing how the two children love and adore Gu Hanzhou, wouldn’t she become a bad person if she deprived the children of their father’s love?

Moreover, Gu Hanzhou had made great contributions, but did not ask for any reward, only for an imperial decree to grant him a marriage. The emperor had no reason to refuse.

If she refused such a passionate confession in public, wouldn't it seem like she was being ungrateful?

Besides, she knew very well that she could not refuse this marriage.

If the marriage is rejected by force, it will only embarrass everyone and will also be a provocation to the imperial power!

Lin Shuangshuang had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to Gu Hanzhou's side in full view of everyone, which really attracted attention.

The emperor still smiled and said, "Lord Lin, are you willing to have this marriage?"

"It's up to His Majesty to decide."

The emperor laughed heartily: "I approve this marriage. The wedding date is set on... February 6th, an auspicious day."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and immediately an official from the Imperial Household Department came forward to reply.

"You two are both people of merit. I will personally attend your wedding and will definitely give you a generous gift."

"It's just that a marriage is a marriage, and a reward is a reward. The two don't conflict."

"General Gu, please accept the order."

Gu Hanzhou raised his hands above his head and respectfully accepted the order.

Lin Shuangshuang's mouth twitched. After a month of preparation time, the emperor must be afraid that she would run away.

Gu Hanzhou was delighted.

Next, the group entered the palace in a grand manner. A welcoming banquet was held in the palace, and the emperor allowed Lin Shuangshuang to bring her two children into the palace.

Xiaochen stood in the crowd and looked at the bright yellow figure, his eyes slightly red.

My father looked much older than I remembered, and he even had white hair on his temples.

At the palace banquet, Lin Shuangshuang's seat was arranged next to Gu Hanzhou, and the two children sat on the other side of Lin Shuangshuang.

Along the way, Gu Hanzhou wanted to talk to Lin Shuangshuang, but he never found a chance.

Now they were finally sitting together, but the person next to him didn't even look at him, always acting like he was keeping people at a distance, which made him afraid to speak.

The man took up the wine glass and drank three glasses of wine. Then he mustered up the courage to speak: "Shuang'er, we finally meet again."

"During the years we've been apart, I've been thinking about you every moment."

"I know that no matter how much I say now, it will not be enough to express my apology, so I will not say sorry anymore."

"..."

Just when Lin Shuangshuang was about to lose her temper, the man added, "Just watch me do what I do from now on. I will take practical actions to make it up to you and the children."

Immediately afterwards, Gu Hanzhou's hand under the table suddenly grasped Lin Shuangshuang's soft and boneless little hand.

Lin Shuangshuang was frightened and shuddered. She subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but the other party held it very tightly.

"Let go." She growled, frowning.

"Shuang'er, I will never let go of your hand this time."

"Let go. There are so many people watching. Stop pulling and tugging."

"Don't let it go!"

He looked at her with determination, which reminded her of his silly and stubborn appearance back then.

She couldn't let it go, not in front of so many people, and with the two of them being the focus of attention. She didn't want to make a big noise and be laughed at.

Lin Shuangshuang gave him an unpleasant look and said, "Just hold hands, it won't hurt anybody."

Seeing that Lin Shuangshuang stopped struggling, Gu Hanzhou shamelessly came up to her and started talking.

"Hey, why is Prime Minister Su at today's banquet?"

Lin Shuangshuang responded in a non-committal manner: "He is sick and probably dying soon."

"The Su family has been unlucky one after another in the past two years. I wonder if their bad luck has begun to run out."

"First, Su Changgong was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could not get up."

"Then the eldest son was investigated for corruption and exiled thousands of miles away. The second son jumped into the river for unknown reasons. The third son died of poisoning. The fourth son was torn apart by five horses. The fifth son suddenly went crazy. The youngest son... Su Mubai, disappeared for unknown reasons."

"The situation of the Su family's daughters is similar."

"In short, ever since the Gu family started to get lucky, the Su family has been getting worse day by day. Now the Su family has already failed, and they are just waiting for Su Changgong to die of illness."

As Lin Shuangshuang was talking, she suddenly asked, "Have you found the cemetery where the ancestors of the two families are buried?"

"Otherwise, why would the Su family suddenly start to have bad luck?"

Gu Hanzhou nodded: "Two years ago, I found it on the border of the Jin Kingdom according to your dream."

"Master, please perform a ritual to burn the fate disk."
