Chapter 150 - Don’T Go (1)
Ever since Gongsun Yu went to Feng Xiang, Zhou Xiaoxiao hadnt seen her.
However, the two had connected by letters. Zhou Xiaoxiao would receive Gongsun Yus personally embroidered gift from time to time.
On these thoughtful products, there would always be a yulan magnolia embroidered on it and a lively and realistic cuckoo perched on the branches.
Zhou Xiaoxiao extremely adored her determined and unyielding friend. She always hoped that she could walk out of her gloomy and dark part of her life, finding her actual happiness.
Senior brother wants to marry Yuer? Zhou Xiaoxiao snapped out of her trance and asked seriously, Do you know about Yuers past?
Sigh. Thats nothing in Feng Xiang. Wang Xun said, There are some widows whose husbands died on the frontline and remarried others, bringing along their kids too. Those are normal. Not to mention Yuer just followed the wrong guy.
If thats not the case, I wouldnt even get a chance with her. Wang Xun touched his head, embarrassed to say, Junior brother, Yuer doesnt really talk to me. Please help put in a few words for me. She only listens to you.
You cant wish this. I need to at least ask Yuers opinion first. Zhou Xiaoxiao said properly.
Gongsun Yu was from an aristocratic family. However, Zhou Xiaoxiao understood her. She didnt like really polite and proper scholars, but rather mainly and forthright men like Wang Xun.
Since Wang Xun knew about Gongsun Yus background, the latter must have some feelings for him too, thus not wanting to hide it from him.
Wang Xun took out a golden bracelet from his sleeves and held it in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao with a red face. Junior sister, I was at Feng Xiang when you held your wedding. I wasnt able to come on time to witness your wedding. This is senior brothers compensation to you. Please help me. I promise to be good to Yuer forever. After marriage, I will give her all my money and let her handle it.
Yu Xingzhi was happy. Senior brother, dont worry. This brother will help you.
Zhou Xiaoxiao received Gongsun Yu and personally sent her off from the residence.
Right now, the Champion Marquis residence was at the peak of its power. Everyone knew that Yu Xingzhi was the closest person to the Crown Prince.
Zhou Xiaoxiao didnt specially broadcast the wedding, but because she didnt hide it either, many madams and young misses came over to congratulate and bring gifts.
Zhou Xiaoxiao didnt reject the gifts, adding it to Gongsun Yus dowry.
Zhou Xiaoxiaos mother-in-law, Madam Guo, loved face and came over. She scolded Zhou Xiaoxiao but left a box of pearls before leaving.
Gongsun Yus father, Gongsun Zhen, came looking for them in a fierce manner.
Yu Xingzhi received him in the front hall.
Gongsun Zhen was just entering the hall. However, he watched as the polite junior was sitting on the master seat, looking at him indifferently. Even more, he didnt even stand up to welcome him.
This new dazzling nova on court sat there still, wearing the authority that was sharpened by expeditions on the battlefield.
Gongsun Zhen felt that he lacked the imposing manner when standing next to him.
He thought of how the Crown Prince relied and was close to this military marquis, and then the bunch of useless juniors at home.
Gongsun Zhen couldnt help but bow.
In the end, he left gloomily, leaving his daughter to his cousins familys elder brother to send her off.
The night before Gongsun Yu got married, Zhou Xiaoxiao met Gongsun Yus mother.
This madam came to look for her in secret and took out some banknotes and deeds for lands from her sleeves. Her eyes were brimming with tears and she endlessly requested Zhou Xiaoxiao to take care of Gongsun Yu. With one hand, she covered the side of her face with her handkerchief the entire time.
However, Zhou Xiaoxiao still saw a clear finger mark on her face.
