Chapter 002: Remarriage

This ... ... made Gu Guofu look troubled, and upon seeing this, Madam Gu exchanged a glance with Qin Yunchu.

At this moment, Lady Quanfu received a signal and stepped forward to break the silence: "Duke Gu, this disabled woman truly cannot marry into the royal family. If the Gu family insists on marrying their eldest daughter over, it is likely that the in-laws will not become family but rather turn into enemies."

Gu Qiancheng cast a cold glance over the guests attending the ceremony, who all turned their faces away, looking embarrassed. Some glanced at Qin Yunchu, while others looked at Gu Qiancheng, but no one spoke. The wedding hall was eerily quiet, as if even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

"My lord..." Upon seeing this, Madam Gu called out in a delicate voice. A woman under thirty, she was in the prime of her life, possessing both charm and grace. Nurtured by a life of wealth, she lacked nothing in terms of nobility.

Everyone also turned their gaze towards Duke Guo, waiting for him to make a decision

Madam Gu, upon seeing this, smiled even more brightly and quickly advised: "My lord, what Young Master Chu said is not without merit. Qiancheng's leg ailment indeed makes her unsuitable for marrying into the Zhao royal family. Young Master is willing to marry Qianxue, which also preserves your dignity, my lord. Otherwise, if this marriage does not come to fruition, it would be our Duke's residence that suffers the embarrassment"

In such circumstances, even if Duke Gu was reluctant, he had no choice but to speak. He did not dare to look at Gu Qiancheng and only said to Qin Yunchu: "It is indeed inappropriate for Qiancheng, who has a leg ailment, to marry into the Zhao royal family, but to change the bride at the wedding is rather absurd"

The moment the word "Master" was uttered, it instantly calmed the Duke of Gu, who comfortingly called out, "Madam." And the books.

Gu Qiancheng, as an observer, could see that Qin Yunchu was merely putting on an act. The spectators could also discern this, yet none dared to speak up. They had witnessed Qin Yunchu's arrogance.

After speaking, he turned and left, but the way he walked was amusing to Gu Qiancheng no matter how she looked at it

Gu Qiancheng had already noticed the look in Madam Gu's eyes, signaling Madam Quanfu to step forward. He was not surprised by this; he simply stared at Duke Gu, waiting for the biological father of this body to speak.

However, those who should have seen through Qin Yunchu's strategy of retreating to advance failed to do so, instead falling into Qin Yunchu's despicable trap, leading Gu Qiancheng to question the intelligence of this so-called biological father, though it cannot be ruled out that her father was merely acting.

Compared to the wedding, Gu Qiancheng is more concerned about her injured foot. She now only hopes that this farce will end soon, otherwise her foot cannot hold up any longer

Given that the situation has developed to this point, even if Qin Yunchu is willing to marry, Gu Qiancheng will not marry.

Indeed, the young lady of your esteemed family has a disability, which is certainly not suitable for marrying into the Zhao Wang residence. As soon as Madam Quanfu finished speaking, someone immediately echoed her sentiment

This pair of father-in-law and son-in-law directly bypassed Gu Qiancheng, disregarding Gu Qiancheng's wishes, and in just a few words agreed to the matter of exchanging brides.

The guests witnessing the event took place immediately approached with beaming smiles to offer their congratulations. As for Gu Qiancheng, in the eyes of the crowd, she was superfluous

Cough cough... Suddenly questioned, Duke Gu was momentarily taken aback, his mouth opened and closed, yet he did not know how to respond to his daughter's words

Having achieved his wish, Qin Yunchu stopped in satisfaction, turned around with a beaming smile and said: "If the Duke had agreed earlier, there would have been no issue. As for the matter concerning my father and mother, the Duke need not worry; this son will explain it himself"

Qin Yunchu saw that Duke Gu had not given a clear answer for a long time, and once again threatened, "Duke Gu, will the bride be changed or not? This young master is still waiting for the bride to get into the bridal sedan. As for Gu Qiancheng, this disabled person, you can marry her off to whoever you like; in any case, this young master does not want her."

Duke Gu, seeing that Qin Yunchu was about to leave, quickly stood up and said: "Your Highness, please wait a moment. The entire capital knows that today marks the marriage alliance between the Zhao Wangfu and the Gu family. If this marriage does not go through, where will our two families place their dignity? As you mentioned, if the bride is changed to Qianxue, it is just that the prince and princess..."

Duke Gu Guogong's face turned red with anger upon hearing Qin Yunchu's disrespectful words; both his daughter and son-in-law were nothing but troublemakers, with not a single one of them being sensible

Qin Yunchu furrowed his brows, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and softened his tone slightly: "Since Duke Gu does not agree to change the bride, I will not make things difficult for you. I will return now. You can keep the crippled Gu Qiancheng; I will not marry her under any circumstances, to avoid enmity between our families"

Absurd, where is the absurdity in this? Should this heir suffer such a silent loss and bring a disabled person home? Qin Yunchu wore a proud expression, the term 'disabled' rolling off his tongue with increasing ease, and his gaze towards Gu Qiancheng was filled with disdain.

Gu Qiancheng is the fiancée of the crown prince appointed by the Princess of Zhao, and the Duke of Gu does not dare to act recklessly; this is something that Qin Yunchu needs to address

Gu Qiancheng seemed not to have heard anything, offering a faint smile, as if the farce unfolding before her had nothing to do with her; she was merely a bystander.

Even if it is just to scare someone, I would appreciate it if you, Young Master, could be a bit more dedicated. Turning back three times with every step, do you really think others are unaware of what you are thinking in your heart?
