Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Si’er was startled by the opponent’s icy gaze, and without any warning, she was thrown backward.

Fortunately, the place was packed with people, and she didn’t fall to the ground but collided with others.

Already full of anger, Gu Si’er 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 Si’er refused to give up and pushed her way through the crowd to catch up.

Gu Qin’er 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 Huarong’s face turned ashen as she quickly walked away.

Ah Cheng cleared a path for her, while Hanyue stood guard by her side.

She couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

Her cousin’s 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t want to admit it, but she had no choice but to believe that Gu

Qingluan held a special place in her cousin’s heart.

She had to stop their grand wedding ceremony.

Once they were married, there would be no turning back!

“I told you to stop, do you hear me?”

Shouts came from behind.

Yuhuarong’s eyes flashed with impatience. “Ah Cheng, I don’t want to hear her voice anymore.”

Acheng replied, “Yes.”

His figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot and appearing a few yards in front of Gu Si’er.

Gu Si’er was startled, sensing a murderous intent. She couldn’t help but stop and even took a step back. “What… What do you want? I’ll have you know, I’m a young lady of the Gu family. If you dare to harm me in the slightest, the Gu family will never let you off.”

Ah Cheng raised his hand expressionlessly.

A white light shot towards Gu Si’er.

She screamed and grabbed a nearby maid to shield herself before turning to flee.

Behind them, the maid let out terrified screams.

Gu Si’er, her face pale with fear, shouted, “Help! Help!”

However, at this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the entrance of the Jun Residence, and the commotion drowned out her cries for help.

Gu Si’er 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 Si’er 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 didn’t attract anyone’s notice.

Ah Cheng, after killing the person, didn’t show any emotion. He turned and walked back to Yuhuarong’s side.

Yuhuarong didn’t 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 family’s patriarch had personally come from the distant Holy Heaven Dynasty to propose, she was momentarily stunned.

“Not 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 princess’s wedding doesn’t have such extravagance. It seems the groom truly values you.”

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 wouldn’t be treated unfairly.

Gu Xiaonan said to Feng Yuanxi, “Daddy has done well this time; he hasn’t embarrassed Mother.”

Feng Yuanxi replied in a low voice, “Daddy 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 Lan’s mansion’s treasury rushed over through teleportation arrays. Moreover, during this time, Father collected many rare treasures and added them to the dowry list.”

Gu Xiaonan smiled with satisfaction. “That’s more like it!”

The elders of the Gu family didn’t acknowledge it, so there was no one to receive the guests.

One of the servants asked Gu Qingluan, “Mistress, shall we let the groom in?”

Even the matchmaker had never encountered such a situation before and thought, “Who could refuse such a groom?”

Gu Qingluan was about to speak when suddenly, a voice interrupted.

“Wishing to take away our Little Qingluan like this. Not so fast!”

This voice…

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 couldn’t 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 everyone’s 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 couldn’t help but stare in astonishment..
