Chapter 603 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (26)
Cui Yan lay back on the bed and Xu Jun carefully applied medicine to him.
Gu Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing. She couldn't see the wound, so what she imagined in her mind was a bloody mess.
He was previously stabbed, and the scars from the external injuries are probably still there, and his internal injuries haven't healed completely.
Cui Fangjian is so cruel!
Cui Yan's face was pale, and he held Gu Zhen's hand: "I'm really fine, don't worry."
"I'm sorry to trouble you. The wedding ceremony will be simple, and you can't go back to Yun County for the time being. I still need you to take care of my household affairs in Suzhou."
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the imperial decree for marriage was issued. The wedding date was also set, which was on the fifth day of the next month, which was very hasty.
Gu Zhen didn't care about these things. It was good that the Cui family returned to Yun County, where it was quiet and peaceful.
She accompanied Cui Yan after he applied the medicine and sat for a while longer, waiting until he fell asleep before returning to her own yard.
With the wedding date less than a month away and nothing prepared yet, Gu Zhen sent someone back to the Gu family to bring over the dowry list that Huo Yuting and Shen Junru had already prepared.
Linglong, the maid Cui Yanxin arranged for her, was very clever. She had no problem reading and writing. She gave orders quickly, and within half an hour, someone came back with a list of dowry to report.
Also coming with them was Xie Yin, another servant in Cui Yan's yard.
Xie Yin had the things brought in, and respectfully bowed to the future eldest young lady's wife: "Miss Gu, these are the things that the young master has prepared a long time ago. I let this servant tell you that you don't have to worry about anything, just wait for your wedding."
Linglong took a look and saw that it was a list of betrothal gifts, including custom-made wedding dresses from the most famous embroidery workshop in Suzhou, as well as various wedding quilts, jewelry, and clothes.
Just for this wedding dress, I'm afraid the eldest young master started preparing it as soon as he returned to Suzhou.
Gu Zhen touched the carefully embroidered wedding dress and felt more at ease.
Cui Yan had prepared everything, just waiting for her to marry him.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the New Year.
The ceremony was simple, but Cui Yan still rode a tall horse to take Gu Zhen from the Gu family back to the Cui family mansion.
Lim Guan Eng came back with his son and daughter-in-law to attend the ceremony. She smiled kindly, received tea and distributed red envelopes.
Xie Xun's family and his in-laws' family had problems one after another, and she really had no mood to worry about her son's marriage. Besides, this was an arranged marriage, and Xie Xun also had some affection for Gu Zhen.
After drinking the bride's tea affectionately, Xie Xun took off the jade bracelet in his hand and said, "This is the bracelet passed down by our Cui family to our daughter-in-law. Wear it for fun."
"Thank you, mother." Gu Zhen accepted it generously.
When it was Cui Fangjian's turn, the smile on his face was a little stiff, but this month, he had recognized the situation and reality. He forced a smile and drank his daughter-in-law's tea.
The eldest son of the Cui family got married without even a wedding banquet. After the ceremony, Lim Guan Eng actually took his son and daughter-in-law back to Yun County in a carriage.
Gu Zhen enjoyed the quietness. There was no noisy chatter in the bridal chamber, and no one came to disturb her as the bride.
Cui Yan waved his hand and everyone dispersed.
He finally married Gu Zhen. He was quite excited. He lifted his veil and stared at his beloved. She was beautiful and charming. Gu Zhen, in her gorgeous attire, was so beautiful that she didn't look like an ordinary person.
Cui Yan couldn't help but bend down and kiss her forehead.
Although Gu Zhen couldn't see it, she felt as if she was stripped naked by the other party's fiery gaze and her face turned red.
Cui Yan gently kissed Gu Zhen's forehead and eyes.
"Zhen'er, I finally married you."
Gu Zhen snuggled into his arms and said, "My makeup is uncomfortable and my wedding dress is heavy. Husband, please help me."
Cui Yan took a deep breath, and without any hesitation, he immediately carried her horizontally into the inner room.
The sound of water could not drown out the newlyweds' suppressed breathing.
It was unknown how long it took for the disturbing noise to stop.
When Cui Yan carried Gu Zhen out, she was already fast asleep, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, casting a small shadow on her fair face. Cui Yan placed his hands on both sides of Gu Zhen's head, as if he did not dare to disturb the sleeping fairy, and only dared to touch her gently with his lips.
Gu Zhen turned over, and Cui Yan's lips fell on her ears. He couldn't help but smile, and fell asleep with his arms around her.
......
On the day they returned home three days later, they both got up late.
Cui Yan was already very skilled at dressing Gu Zhen, putting makeup on her, and combing her hair, but due to his youth and vigor, he was always tripped up by certain things.
Gu Zhen held down his big hand and dodged his lingering entanglement: "Stop... stop it..."
Do I have to go back at noon? That would make me a laughing stock.
Cui Yan laughed quietly. He took advantage of the fact that Gu Zhen couldn't see and always attacked her when she wasn't paying attention. But he also knew his limits. He grabbed Gu Zhen's wrist, pressed her against the bedpost and kissed her for a while before he properly dressed her.
He carried Gu Zhen all the way into the carriage.
All the servants of the Cui family knew that the eldest young master and his wife were very loving. The young master, who was always well-behaved and polite, never concealed his love for his wife. He would hold her hand wherever he went, and if there was any trouble, such as riding a horse or a carriage, he would carry her on his back himself.
Gu Zhen was used to it and just thought of him as a wheelchair.
The carriage drove into the long street, and the two went outside to buy some fresh food. The window was open, and when the wind blew, the curtain moved slightly, revealing the couple sitting side by side inside.
At a corner of the long street, Shen Junru stared blankly at the carriage.
Cui Yanzheng smiled, tucked Gu Zhen's hair, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
She was a little envious.
This is what a couple is like.
Shen Junru recalled the past with sadness. Huo Yuting never even gave her a good face, let alone tucking her hair.
He gave this tenderness to others.
Shen Junru covered her hat. She had just arrived in Suzhou today and she unexpectedly met an acquaintance.
She wanted to avoid coming to Suzhou, but as a weak woman, she had finally met a few good people who were willing to give her a ride, so why should she choose a destination?
I know someone here, and if I encounter danger, I may be able to get help.
Shen Junru didn't know why, but she was sure that even if Gu Zhen knew she was here, she would not reveal the news to Huo Yuting.
But unless it's absolutely necessary, it's better not to disturb others.
Shen Junru touched her belly and smiled bitterly. She was a princess, but she had fallen to this point. Now she didn't even have a penny in her hand.
It’s okay if she’s hungry, but what about the baby in her belly?
Just when she was in trouble, someone patted Shen Junru on the shoulder.
She was startled and turned her head back suddenly, her face turning pale.
"six......"
"You've got the wrong person!" Shen Junru was so panicked that her voice choked. She pushed Cui You away and ran towards the alley.
How could Cui You mistake Shen Junru? He hurriedly followed her and caught up with her in a few steps. Just as he was about to say a few words of concern, Shen Junru's body tilted. After months of running around and being anxious, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted in Cui You's arms.
"Six... Shen Junru? Are you okay?" Cui You was anxious and quickly picked up the thin Shen Junru and rushed to the clinic.
