Gu Tingye said that he had spoken his heart to Sheng Minglan today, and if she still refused to agree, he would no longer pester her. Gu Tingye said that after they got married, they would live in separate residences, and from then on, he would no longer let Sheng Minglan feel wronged or stifled. He knew that Sheng Minglan had always been stifled and wronged, despite being excellent in everything, she was forced to humble herself everywhere.
Sheng Minglan was intelligent and perceptive, understanding everything clearly, which was why she pretended to be foolish. He did not want to see her live her life so oppressed.
Gu Tingye only said one sentence: from now on, whatever his standing among men, Sheng Minglan's standing among women would be the same: "I have admired you for a long time, and I wish to marry you as my wife, entrusting you with the household, to bear descendants, and to grow old together." His words were powerful and firm. These words touched Sheng Minglan's heart deeply, and she was very moved.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Han called him over to play a match. Sheng Minglan agreed to go on court with Gu Tingye, which counted as her acceptance. The two returned to the court together. Gu Tingye laughed heartily, and Sheng Minglan smiled gently with lowered brows; she was also happy. Sheng Rulan felt a bit uneasy in her heart, especially fearing that future mother-in-law.
A few days ago, when Wen Yanling's mother came to the residence to see Wang Ruofu, she put on such airs that Wang Ruofu cursed her fiercely. Sheng Rulan was truly afraid that Wen Yanling would betray her, and also feared that her mother-in-law would bully her, worried that her future life would not be as good as Sheng Molan's.
Sheng Minglan amused her with a few words, but Sheng Rulan couldn't help but worry about Sheng Minglan's life after she got married, as the Gu family was very complicated. The betrothal gifts Gu Tingye sent today filled the entire courtyard. Old Madam Sheng saw that he had been planning this for a long time. She then prepared many properties, shops, and estates, intending to give them to Sheng Minglan as a dowry.
She also stopped Sheng Minglan from meeting the He family. Now, no one could stop them from doing good deeds. Old Madam Sheng also wanted to add more items for Sheng Minglan, but Sheng Minglan repeatedly said it was enough. Still, Old Madam Sheng worried about her situation after marriage, as the Gu family was not easy to deal with. Gu Tingye also generally told Sheng Minglan about the Gu family.
After hearing it, Sheng Minglan inevitably felt apprehensive and a little scared, fearing that she would not have the good fortune to enjoy it. Old Madam Sheng, however, said that she was marrying a fine, upright gentleman, and that their good days were still long ahead. Tomorrow, Sheng Minglan was to be married, and the grandmother and granddaughter were very reluctant to part.
On the day of the wedding, Gu Tingye, dressed in his wedding attire, led the welcoming procession towards the Sheng family residence. Sheng Minglan was at that moment in the ancestral hall, informing the ancestors and gods, full of anticipation. The three sons-in-law of the Sheng family blocked the main gate, forcing Gu Tingye to compose a poem. After Sheng Minglan finished her makeup, she choked a few times upon hearing the poem Gu Tingye composed.
How did he know she was drinking cold wine? Gu Tingye rushed into the main gate without hesitation. Sheng Changbo said there was an 'informer' inside, whose will was not firm. Xiao Tao was very confused, as he hadn't blocked anything just now. Sheng Changbo, however, said that Gu Tingye had given him a good painting a few days ago, so naturally, he couldn't block him. Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu drank the tea offered by Gu Tingye.
Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye received their blessings, and then they left the house. Old Madam Sheng choked back tears as she held Sheng Minglan's hand, crying intensely, even causing Sheng Hong to shed a few tears. With tall horses and ten li of red wedding decorations, Sheng Minglan couldn't help but cry in the wedding sedan. Dan Ju quickly handed her a handkerchief. After crying, Sheng Minglan instead smiled, her phoenix coronet and formal robes reflecting on her flushed cheeks. Once decided, they would grow old together.
