Chapter 17 Let Xu and the Big Rooster Get Married

Chapter 17

Gu Nianchu told Gu Nianping everything. Gu Nianping was so angry that he wanted to chop Shen Ling directly. Gu Nianchu reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother, if the Shen family dared to do this, they must bear the consequences."

Gu Nianping felt extremely distressed for his younger sister: "Big sister, I will naturally avenge you for these things. You should go home with me now!"

She is the legitimate daughter of their general's mansion, how dare the damn Shen Ling humiliate her like this!
Gu Nianchu shook his head: "Brother, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a woman cannot take her child with her when she divorces."

What she wants is long-lasting happiness.

Gu Nianping also fell silent: "Chang Huan is now in Prince Qi's Mansion."

Gu Nianchu was somewhat helpless: "Brother, for a family that can do such a dirty thing, do you think they won't use this to disgust me?"

At that time, as long as Chang Huan's true identity is revealed, the Shen family will be able to take Chang Huan back to the Marquis' Mansion. Even if Gu Nianchu divorces Shen Ling, even if the General's Mansion has all the power in the court, there is no way to take Chang Huan away.

"Big sister, I'm sorry for your hardship."

Gu Nianping's face looked very ugly. The daughter that their Gu family held in their hands was actually being bullied by the Marquis' Mansion!

"Brother, I am the daughter of the Gu family. If they bully me, I will make them pay the price. Don't worry, brother."

Gu Nianchu told the Shen family about how she had frightened them these days, and Gu Nianping's expression became a little better. "Don't worry, big sister. I'll send you a few women who know martial arts when I get back. If anyone dares to bully you, you can fight back."

Gu Nianchu responded softly: "Don't worry, big brother. You should know Nianchu's temper. I was just deceived by the Shen family a few years ago. Now they can't bully me anymore."

Old Marquis Shen sent someone to invite Gu Nianping to serve tea. Gu Nianping gave Gu Nianchu some instructions before getting up. He said he was going to ask for an explanation from Old Marquis Shen.

Gu Nianchu tugged at her eldest brother's sleeve and acted coquettishly: "Brother, please don't use too much force. I'm still looking forward to Shen Ling marrying that Xu girl to entertain me."

The brother and sister reached a consensus. Gu Nianping went to the main hall in the front yard. After some negotiations, the old Marquis Shen had Shen Ling arrested and beaten with twenty boards in front of Gu Nianping.

Gu Nianping finally calmed down, and before leaving he said that he would send a few maids to serve Gu Nianchu when he returned. How could Old Marquis Shen dare to say no, and had to smile and see him off.

Old Madam Shen felt sorry for Shen Ling, and she kept crying and making a scene while pulling the old marquis. The old marquis pushed her to the ground and said, "Women are short-sighted, and if I don't beat Ling'er today, do you think the Gu family will let it go?"

Shen Ling was in so much pain, but he still had to comfort Old Madam Shen: "Mother, the child is fine. Father is doing this for our mansion. Please don't blame him."

"Son, you are so injured now. How are you going to get married with Yanyan the day after tomorrow?"

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Ling, who was covered in injuries and unable to stand, so how could they get married?

Just when Old Madam Shen was crying and asking Shen Ling to change the wedding date, Gu Nianchu arrived.

She just glanced at Shen Ling lying on the brocade couch, and said to Old Madam Shen with a smile: "Mother, this matter cannot be delayed. Since the prince cannot marry Xu, we can find a big rooster to marry Xu on his behalf."

"Then Xu is fond of the prince, so I think she can understand his difficulties. After all, they were able to have an affair and give birth to a son without any matchmaker or betrothal. Now this is a great honor for her."

When Gu Nianchu finished speaking, there was a cold murderous tone in his voice.

Shen Ling didn't dare to say anything more if he wanted to object. Old Madam Shen thought about it for a while and could only do so.

She didn't even dare to scold Gu Nianchu.

"Mother, I heard that you only invited a few familiar families to the banquet. This is not appropriate. After all, the Marquis' Mansion takes wives as co-wives, not concubines. Don't let people say that our Marquis' Mansion is rude because we didn't invite the families we should invite. I have already asked someone to invite them. Mother, don't skip the banquet you prepared."

Gu Nianchu was also kind enough to remind the Shen family mother and son that they must give Xu Yan a grand wedding and not let Xu Yan down.

After saying that, Gu Nianchu just left.

"This poisonous woman!"

Shen Ling was almost angered to death by Gu Nianchu. He originally wanted to give Xu Yan the most grand wedding, but now he couldn't even get married in the hall. This vicious woman wanted to invite all the noble families in Kyoto to the banquet. She had such a vicious heart!

Madam Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Son, don't take this matter to heart. You originally wanted to marry Yanyan with a grand ceremony. Now that it is the Gu family who proposed it, the Gu family has nothing to say."

"Gu is unwilling to register Shaobai under her name now. If you give Yanyan dignity now, Shaobai will not be looked down upon in the future. Don't worry, mother will definitely take care of this matter for you."

Mrs. Shen was not so angry anymore when she thought that her precious grandson would be able to always be by her side to show his filial piety.

The date for the Zhenbei Marquisate's marriage to a concubine was set extremely hastily, but there were many invited families, and the wealthy families in Kyoto all looked down on the Marquisate's lack of manners.

Someone was asking about the attitude of the General's Mansion. Gu Nianping snorted coldly, "Since the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion has posted an invitation, you can go and join in the fun. The concubine is just a concubine. Going there will save the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."

Join in the fun?

This is very intriguing.

So, everyone made an appointment to go to the Marquis' Mansion to watch the ceremony.

The gift from the Gu family arrived first, consisting of two hundred and fifty coins.

The clerk who was in charge of registering the gift book in the Marquis's Mansion was so angry that his eyes almost popped out, but the clerk from the Gu Mansion insisted that he write it down, and shouted loudly that the gift money from General Gu's Mansion was 250 coins, as if he was afraid that other people didn't know about it.

With the 250 coins from the General's Mansion, other families naturally had to do the same. This was the gift from the Marquis's in-laws. They were not that familiar with the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally they could not surpass the General's Mansion.

Then, strange things happened.

This time, the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion had to bring baskets to hold copper coins when accepting gifts. Some people even gave only a few dozen copper coins, just like the gifts given by rural villagers.

The gifts were given by servants of each family, and the master was naturally welcomed into the mansion by the master of the marquis's mansion.

Although Xu felt that it was unfair for her to marry a big rooster, she endured the humiliation.

Gu Nianchu looked at Xu Yan and the big rooster bowing in the hall, with a smile on her face. The other female relatives all praised the Gu family's daughter for her magnanimity. Gu Nianchu looked ashamed: "Thinking back, something happened just after my husband and I had our wedding night. The prince became a rootless person in order to protect me. Over the years, I prayed to God every day, and God was moved. This Xu was pregnant with the prince's child. If it weren't for her, the Marquis's mansion would be extinct. Naturally, I have to welcome her in. Not only will I give her the position of co-wife, I will also let her manage all the household supplies in the Marquis's mansion. From now on, I will eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day to thank the Bodhisattva."
