Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Siâer was startled by the opponentâs icy gaze, and without any warning, she was thrown backward.
Fortunately, the place was packed with people, and she didnât fall to the ground but collided with others.
Already full of anger, Gu Siâer almost tripped. She got furious, and once she steadied herself, she went after the person who had pushed her, cursing under her breath.
The crowd was dense, and in the blink of an eye, the person who had bumped into her was several yards away, separated by several people.
Gu Siâer refused to give up and pushed her way through the crowd to catch up.
Gu Qinâer glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to chase her. Her sister had grown up, and no one could always be there to clean up her mess.
Up ahead, Yu Huarongâs face turned ashen as she quickly walked away.
Ah Cheng cleared a path for her, while Hanyue stood guard by her side.
She couldnât bear to watch any longer.
Her cousinâs actions far exceeded her expectations.
She could turn a blind eye when he called in his maternal grandfather, but he actually gave such an astonishingly generous dowry!
Even the dowry from the marriage of the Princess of the Holy Heaven Dynasty couldnât compare to his!
Many of the items included were rare treasures that would cause a frenzy at an auction. Any one of them would be enough to sustain a person for several lifetimes, and yet her cousin had given them all to that woman!
Furthermore, there were several precious items that her aunt had entrusted to her cousin, saying they were heirlooms to be given to his future daughter-in-law. She always thought those items would belong to her, but now they were all on that gift list!
She didnât want to admit it, but she had no choice but to believe that Gu
Qingluan held a special place in her cousinâs heart.
She had to stop their grand wedding ceremony.
Once they were married, there would be no turning back!
âI told you to stop, do you hear me?â
Shouts came from behind.
Yuhuarongâs eyes flashed with impatience. âAh Cheng, I donât want to hear her voice anymore.â
Acheng replied, âYes.â
His figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot and appearing a few yards in front of Gu Siâer.
Gu Siâer was startled, sensing a murderous intent. She couldnât help but stop and even took a step back. âWhat⊠What do you want? Iâll have you know, Iâm a young lady of the Gu family. If you dare to harm me in the slightest, the Gu family will never let you off.â
Ah Cheng raised his hand expressionlessly.
A white light shot towards Gu Siâer.
She screamed and grabbed a nearby maid to shield herself before turning to flee.
Behind them, the maid let out terrified screams.
Gu Siâer, her face pale with fear, shouted, âHelp! Help!â
However, at this moment, everyoneâs attention was focused on the entrance of the Jun Residence, and the commotion drowned out her cries for help.
Gu Siâer felt a sharp gust of wind approaching from behind. Her small face twisted in fear, contorted with dread.
Boom!
A severe pain shot through her back.
Gu Siâer let out a piercing scream as her body was propelled forward, crashing onto the open ground ahead like a sandbag.
This location was a bit distant from the densely packed crowd, so her fall didnât attract anyoneâs notice.
Ah Cheng, after killing the person, didnât show any emotion. He turned and walked back to Yuhuarongâs side.
Yuhuarong didnât spare him a glance and walked away without a word.
Shallow Clouds Residence.
A panting maid rushed inside and informed Gu Qingluan about the situation at the entrance.
When she heard that the Wang familyâs patriarch had personally come from the distant Holy Heaven Dynasty to propose, she was momentarily stunned.
âNot only that, Mistress, have you heard about the items on the dowry list? There are a total of 999 betrothal gifts, and their value is immeasurable. Everyone is saying that even a princessâs wedding doesnât have such extravagance. It seems the groom truly values you.â
The maid grinned from ear to ear, as if she had benefited from all of this.
The other people in the room were also delighted for Gu Qingluan.
This indicated that the groom valued the bride, and after their mistress got married, they wouldnât be treated unfairly.
Gu Xiaonan said to Feng Yuanxi, âDaddy has done well this time; he hasnât embarrassed Mother.â
Feng Yuanxi replied in a low voice, âDaddy has put in a lot of effort to prepare for this wedding. 1 heard from Uncle Jingfeng that he spent a huge sum of money to have treasures from the Royal Prince Lanâs mansionâs treasury rushed over through teleportation arrays. Moreover, during this time, Father collected many rare treasures and added them to the dowry list.â
Gu Xiaonan smiled with satisfaction. âThatâs more like it!â
The elders of the Gu family didnât acknowledge it, so there was no one to receive the guests.
One of the servants asked Gu Qingluan, âMistress, shall we let the groom in?â
Even the matchmaker had never encountered such a situation before and thought, âWho could refuse such a groom?â
Gu Qingluan was about to speak when suddenly, a voice interrupted.
âWishing to take away our Little Qingluan like this. Not so fast!â
This voiceâŠ
Gu Qingluan suddenly widened her eyes and looked outside.
Although her vision was obstructed by a red veil, her spiritual perception still allowed her to see outside.
A black figure descended from the sky.
The people inside Shallow Clouds Residence couldnât prevent someone from falling from the sky, so they all stood in front of Gu Qingluan, looking cautiously at the newcomer.
The newcomer landed in the courtyard, wearing a black robe with dark patterns, tall and straight.
The first thing that caught everyoneâs attention was his snow-white hair, like that of an elderly man.
However, looking at his face, it was as smooth as a peeled egg, appearing to be in his twenties or thirties. His features were sharp and well-defined, like they had been carved with precision, with a particularly striking pair of narrow and sharp eyes that exuded a sense of pride and aloofness.
This strange contrast made him even more mysterious and unpredictable.
The women couldnât help but stare in astonishment..
