Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 481: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

At night, after washing up, Gu Li was still not in bed. Not long after, someone knocked on her window.

Gu Li did not open the window, but just stood by it, "What's the matter?"

"Xiao Li'er, can you open the window so I can see you?"

"cannot!"

It was obviously something he could do easily, but she said no. The people outside were silent for a moment and then stopped moving.

"I came here to tell you that my uncle has someone he likes and they will be getting married in a few days. It won't delay our wedding!"

Gu Li was surprised. Her uncle had kept it a secret. "How come I don't know which girl he is going to marry?"

"It's a long story, how about you let me in and tell you slowly?"

Gu Li:-----

"Say it!"

"Xiao Li'er, why do you always care about others? Shouldn't you care about your marriage and mine?"

Gu Li sneered, "You have already discussed everything, do you still have room for me to speak?"

She even brought up the old bachelor He Xingqing, but who would have thought that he could also solve the problem of getting married in a day.

It turns out that He Xingqing likes Ruan Susu, the concubine's daughter of the county magistrate. They met in a bookstore and fell in love there.

But the county magistrate's wife didn't like the concubine's daughter, so she arranged a marriage for her daughter without waiting for He Xingqing to come and propose marriage. She married her to a useless nephew from a branch of her family.

It would be fine if Ruan Susu lived a good life, but Ruan Susu's husband not only indulged in drinking, whoring and gambling, but also abused his wife.

He Xingqing tried many ways to get Ruan Susu to divorce but failed.

Now, He Yunwang, who had served as a general, has returned. It is said that the court will give rewards for this great victory, and He Yunwang's official position will be promoted.

With He Yunwang's support, the county magistrate's wife's family will never let him go!

"Another widow?" Gu Li couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

Suddenly remembering that her father also married a widow, Gu Li couldn't help but wonder if the land in Ginkgo Lane was naturally more attractive to widows!

He Yunwang, who was outside the window, was silent for a moment, and said, "The general is very optimistic about me. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to get a reward from the court and become a lieutenant commander. Then I will have a special residence."

Does that mean you won’t live in Ginkgo Lane anymore?

“But I like living here!”

"If you miss home, I'll take you back!"

After speaking, both of them were silent.

He Yunwang reacted and said, "Xiao Li'er, are you agreeing to marry me?"

The window was suddenly opened from the outside, and moonlight like broken silver poured in. Also striking Gu Li's eyes was He Yunwang's smiling face with his eyes and eyebrows.

At this moment, Gu Li's heart softened.

-------

In the past few days, roe deer, badgers, sika deer, new silk and satin clothes, rouge, powder and famous jewelry have been continuously sent to the Gu family.

This made everyone know how much He Yunwang loved her.

Even Tao Chunhua jealously teased He Yunwang that he "forgot his mother after getting a wife", which made Gu Mancang so happy that she secretly reminded Gu Li that she should make some clothes, shoes and socks as a return gift for her future husband.

On the day when He Yunwang brought the official matchmaker to propose marriage, two rows of soldiers marched in unison from the entrance of Ginkgo Alley to the gate of Gu's house.

The soldiers who carried the betrothal gifts had red silk tied around their waists. They worked in groups of two, each carrying a brand new red lacquered wooden box as high as their thighs. When they placed the boxes on the ground, there was a 'bang' sound, which showed how heavy they were.

Such a grand ceremony attracted passers-by to stop and watch, and they talked about how much the husband's family valued the young lady of the Gu family who never left the house.

Gu Mancang stood at the front, his mouth grinning from ear to ear. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had secretly introduced other men to his daughter, and he praised He Yunwang again and again. Needless to say, everyone knew how satisfied he was with this prospective son-in-law.

On the second day after the engagement, He Yunwang went to the county government office and arranged He's uncle's marriage on the same day.

He Xingqing took people to the next county and successfully brought back the bride-to-be.

There was no matchmaker or betrothal ceremony, no red dowry or boxes, and no festive wedding. He Xingqing asked an official matchmaker to be his guarantor, wrote a marriage certificate, and settled the girl in the house he bought. Even the Gu family didn't come to visit.

Gu Li, who was detained in the backyard and forced to be her husband's lingerie, never saw her future aunt named Ruan Susu until her wedding day.

-------

Early in the morning, Gu Li was pulled out of bed by Tao Chunhua and Zhiqiu. The wedding dress was complicated and it was inconvenient for her to go to the toilet. She only ate two glutinous rice balls in between dressing. After a day, Gu Li was hungry, thirsty and tired.

After waiting for everyone in the room to leave, she could no longer hold on to her sitting posture. Gu Li's waist softened, and she leaned on the wedding quilt with the help of the real gold phoenix crown on her head, and with her other hand, she took out a handful of auspicious four-colored fruits from under the quilt.

After picking and choosing, Gu Li just lay down and started eating.

Zhiqiu quickly brought the hot food. While eating, Gu Li asked Zhiqiu to help her remove the phoenix crown and red hairpins on her head.

After eating her fill, she was helped to remove her makeup and wash her face, and a warm towel was applied to her face. Gu Li felt so comfortable that she just wanted to sigh, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep!"

"Miss, the uncle hasn't come yet!"

Gu Li kicked off her shoes and rolled over into the quilt. She casually scraped the messy fruits and pushed them aside, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Too sleepy.

Gu Li regained consciousness because a pair of dishonest big hands were roaming around her body. The warm fragrance in the tent was dispelled by the alcohol on the attacker's body. Gu Li shrank back, and the man came closer to her more eagerly, pushing his face into her arms.

Gu Li grabbed the bun on the big head and pulled him out, "It stinks!"

The newly assigned Duwei Mansion was very large, and He Yunwang, who was anxious to get married, only had time to renovate the main courtyard. Even so, there were so many guests coming today that they had to add two more tables before they could accommodate them all.

He Yunwang inevitably drank a lot of wine.

He Yunwang reluctantly kissed his bride twice, and supported himself with his hands, hanging above Gu Li, "Why didn't Xiao Li'er wait for me and went to sleep?"

"Sleepy!"

"Then Xiaoli'er, come take a bath with me!"

"Get out!" In order to avoid a sneak attack, Gu Li huddled into the quilt.

He Yunwang pinched the soft flesh hard, and pulled his hand back before Gu Li jumped up, "Wait!"

Gu Li, who was rubbing her chest, woke up completely. Thinking about what might happen next, her heartbeat began to speed up, she felt hot and broke out in sweat.

Just as Gu Li was daydreaming, He Yunwang came out of the bathroom.

The wedding candles as thick as a baby's arm illuminated the room. He stood in front of the bed, wiping his hair with a cloth in one hand. As he moved, the traces of the muscles under his skin stretching and tightening were clearly visible.

He seemed to be particularly blessed by nature, with a sturdy physique but a handsome face like a scholar. His eyes were bright, and the upturned corners of his eyes made his face look fierce and strong. The obvious long scar between his slanted sword-like eyebrows made him look like a man who was not easy to talk to.

His nose is tall and straight, like a mountain rising from the ground with a strong presence, which is the finishing touch of this face.

Gu Li blinked, and suddenly remembered the last time he teased her with his nose, but she hit him and made his nose bleed.

"Puchi!" Gu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He Yunwang turned his gaze away from the neatly folded red wedding dress on the stool beside him, threw away the cloth, and turned to look at the small bulge on the bed.
