Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

All night long, Minglan was like a lone boat in a storm, washed over and over again by the huge waves between heaven and earth. Every time she was on the verge of falling apart, the waves would retreat, thinking that the rain would stop and the sky would clear up, then come back again.

She didn't know when she fell asleep and didn't even have a dream.

When Mother Cui forcibly woke her up, she almost thought that Gu Tingye was coming again.

"No, no, no... please, spare me..." She pulled the quilt to cover her head in pain.

"Girl, girl, my dear girl! Get up quickly! Open your eyes and look, the sun is shining on your butt! You sleep until noon on your wedding day. If this gets out, you will be laughed at!" Mother Cui saw that she didn't move, so she simply lifted her quilt.

Minglan tightly grasped the remaining quilt, unable to open her eyes: "Gu Tingye clearly said that I can sleep as I please..."

Mother Cui: "The Gu family is a noble family. If you sleep like this, if it gets out, people will say that our Sheng family is not good at educating our daughters! My dear girl, get up quickly!"

Minglan hugged the quilt and didn't move.

Mother Cui: "Just now, your eldest sister-in-law, Madam Shao, sent someone to tell you to go and have a private conversation between women. The aunts from the fourth and fifth rooms are also here. It will be bad if you go too late!"

Minglan finally sat up wrapped in the quilt. Mother Cui turned around and called Danju and Xiaotao to come and dress Minglan up.

Minglan heard Mother Cui's voice walking away, and then she fell back onto the bed with a thud.

……

Minglan didn't know how she ended up sitting in front of the dressing table.

Danju Xiaotao skillfully washed her, and she closed her eyes and continued her unfinished work.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, two arms as strong as iron bars hugged her, followed by a burst of warm breath spraying on the back of her neck.

Minglan shuddered and woke up instantly.

Danju and Xiaotao had already covered their faces and ran out of the room. Gu Tingye hugged Minglan, buried his head in her neck, and said like a wolf, "Why did you wake up so soon? I wanted to hold you and sleep for a while longer."

Minglan wanted to cry but had no tears: "That's not necessary!"

Gu Tingye's voice came from her neck muffled: "You say one thing and mean another!"

Minglan pushed him away: "It's not your head! Look at my neck, it's all your fault!"

Gu Tingye looked at her ambiguous snow-white neck, lowered his head and kissed her. Minglan screamed, "The sky is clear and bright!"

Gu Tingye lowered his voice, looked at her slyly and said, "My dear wife, please don't go out today, okay?"

Minglan pushed him again and again: "No! My eldest sister-in-law sent someone to tell me to go and talk to me about private matters. Let go of me, I need to wash and put on my makeup!"

Gu Tingye: "Why are you washing and putting on makeup? My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. Makeup will only cover up your beauty."

Minglan: "I'm going to have a private conversation with my elders, so of course I have to pay attention to my appearance."

Gu Tingye finally let go of his arm and stretched his claws towards the powder on the table: "What good things can they say to you? It must be those two from the fourth and fifth rooms who instigated the eldest sister-in-law to torment you. In my opinion, you'd better not go, so as to avoid their trouble."

Minglan: "That won't do. If I don't go, people will say I have no manners."

Gu Tingye: "With me here, who dares to say a word about you?"

Minglan smiled sweetly: "I know you will support me. But I can handle this kind of small matter by myself, there is really no need to do this."

Gu Tingye: "I know you can handle it. You can even deal with the Youyang Sun family, let alone my sister-in-law? She is actually very weak and has no opinion. She listens to my brother in everything she says and does. But my brother has been in poor health recently. It's probably because I didn't keep a close eye on him at the wedding banquet last night, so those aunts took advantage of him. If those two women hadn't instigated her, my sister-in-law wouldn't have taken the initiative to cause trouble for you."

Minglan: "Now that we have separated, why are the fourth and fifth houses still bothering you?"

Gu Tingye picked up the eyebrow pencil and started drawing on his eyebrows. "Haha, they don't think they shouldn't look for me because the family has split up. Whether they look for me depends on whether I am useful or not. Yesterday, my two uncles tried every means to force me to submit and ask for official positions for my useless cousins. I guess my two aunts want the same thing today."

Minglan: "Ask for an official position? Isn't the Gu family army now re-employed by the court? They don't want to go?"

Gu Tingye glanced at her and said, "It's not that they don't want to go, it's that I don't want to go."

Minglan quickly understood what he meant: "I'm afraid these cousins ​​are mediocre in talent and would be a burden if they joined the Gu family army."

Gu Tingye nodded: "My soldiers are going out to win battles. Keeping those useless people will not only disrupt the morale of the army, but also cost me a few lives to protect them. Am I stupid enough to do such a losing business?"

Minglan: "Such a person is useless on the battlefield, and will only cause trouble to the people if he enters the government office."

Gu Tingye: "That's even more so. He's not honest and has dirty hands. If such a person is allowed to be an official in a local government, he will harm the people."

Minglan: "Then how do you want to arrange for them, sir?"

Gu Tingye: "What arrangements are there? Let them fend for themselves."

Minglan: "I understand. Don't worry, sir. No matter what the aunts and sisters-in-law say or force me, I won't give in."

Gu Tingye: "Why don't I go with you? I promised my grandmother that I would take good care of you."

Minglan: "My lord, do you have so little confidence in me?"

Gu Tingye sighed, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, I just want to hear you call me 'Master' more often!" Then he pulled Minglan over and hugged her, "Come on, call me a few more times so I can hear you."

Minglan gently pushed him: "Hey, the elders are waiting, stop making trouble!"

Gu Tingye: "I'm not making a fuss. If you don't shout, you won't be able to get out of this door in a while."

Minglan: "Oh... Sir!" She cried out in shame and anger.

Gu Tingye smiled and said, "Hey! Madam! What did you just call me?"

Minglan: "... Sir!"

Gu Tingye: "Hey! Madam! What did you just call me?"

Minglan: "...You scoundrel! Will you ever stop?"

Gu Tingye laughed heartily: "Hahaha, it's not over yet, of course it's not over yet!"

Minglan broke free from his embrace and ran away. Gu Tingye followed in small steps. The two of them ran around the round table. Finally, Gu Tingye caught Minglan back in his arms like a kitten: "You slippery little fox, look, I'm going to kill you now!"

Minglan held down his throbbing hands: "If you do it again I'm going to scream!"

Gu Tingye laughed like a flower thief and said, "Go ahead and scream! I just kicked those two girls out. They won't come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"

Minglan: "I, I, I... My name is Mother Cui!"

Gu Tingye: "Once I lock the door, even ten Cui mothers won't be able to help!"

The two quarreled for a while, and Minglan laughed and yelled: "If you keep making trouble like this, I won't let you enter the room tonight!"

Gu Tingye finally stopped and said miserably, "Madam, how can you be so cruel? You use me and then kick me out?"

Minglan: "If I can't make it to see the elders in a while, and people say I'm arrogant and rude, won't I vent my anger on you?"

Gu Tingye opened his arms and said righteously: "Come on, Madam! I can bear it!"

Minglan laughed angrily: "You are so strong and sturdy, of course you can bear it! But what about me?" She pointed at her ambiguous neck.

Gu Tingye laughed and went to look through the cupboard: "I'll find you something with a high collar to cover it up."
