Chapter 530 The wedding is scheduled on the same day
Shen Wantang pretended not to hear, walked out the door, got on the carriage, and left.
Not long after returning to the palace, Qin Xin came to report: "Crown Princess, there is news from the palace that the candidate for the Crown Princess has been decided, and they will go to the Yu family to propose marriage soon!"
"So fast?"
Shen Wantang remembered that when the prince married Gu Qianning in the previous life, it took a long time. It was because of the constant pressure from the Gu family that the prince finally married her.
"It was quite fast. When people outside found out that the candidate for the Crown Princess was the girl from the Yu family and not Miss Gu, they were all shocked! Now there are all kinds of rumors. It seems that the situation is not favorable to Miss Gu."
Shen Wantang sighed slightly. Putting aside the current situation, just the fact that the prince was going to marry someone else would probably make Gu Qianning so upset that she couldn't sleep.
Recently, because she has to observe mourning, it is not convenient for her to go to other people's homes, and it is not convenient for others to come to Prince Ning's Mansion, so she has not met Gu Qianning for a long time.
But she didn't expect that Gu Qianning would come in the evening.
Shen Wantang held her hand and asked with concern: "Why did you come to the palace? Ah Ning, what happened?"
Gu Qianning's eyes immediately turned red: "My wedding date has been set. I will be getting married next month and will be marrying to Jiangnan!"
When Shen Wantang heard about this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Wasn't this already decided? Marrying to Jiangnan is not a bad thing. The capital is in such a mess right now, it's better for you to stay out of the spotlight. It's just that the wedding date is indeed a little early. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because the prince's wedding is also next month, and my wedding date is the same day as his."
Shen Wantang was a little shocked: "What? On the same day?"
Gu Qianning nodded with a pale face: "It was my second brother who set the date. He said that no one else dared to clash with the Tian family, but the Gu family insisted on doing so. If they don't give us face, we don't have to give them face either."
"Also, the Crown Prince will be getting married, and everyone in the Gu family will have to go to the palace on that day. I can't avoid going there either. Once I go there, I have to kneel down and pay homage to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. My second brother didn't want me to kneel, so he asked me to get married on that day as well."
After listening to this, Shen Wantang felt that it made some sense.
Gu Qianhan chose the same day for her sister to get married. Apart from anything else, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would definitely be furious. This could be considered a slap in the face for Gu Qianning.
And since she didn't have to kneel before the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, Gu Qianning would feel better. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have vomited to death.
Shen Wantang pulled Gu Qianning to sit down and handed her a cup of cold tea: "Your second brother is very thoughtful. If I were him, I would also choose this day. What about you, Ah Ning, if you were asked to choose, which day would you choose?"
Gu Qianning held the herbal tea in her hand, her voice choking slightly, "I actually don't want to choose any day. I also know that the day chosen by my second brother is the best day. I'm just a little scared. I always feel that everything is too hasty. I feel like I have overlooked something, but I have thought about it for a long time and can't figure it out."
Shen Wantang knew that she must have sensed something strange around her and felt that she was being pushed forward. However, she could never imagine that the real reason for her marriage was that Gu Qianhan was planning a rebellion.
The sun outside was scorching. It was very hot, but Shen Wantang felt a little cold.
She thought that Gu Qianning might feel the same way and feel cold too.
She reached out and took the cold tea from Gu Qianning's hand, and called Du Juan to make hot tea.
After Gu Qianning drank the hot tea, her pale face turned rosy again.
She hugged Shen Wantang's arm and leaned against her: "Atang, why do I feel so peaceful and calm when I'm with you?"
"You give me a very reliable feeling. I was going to get married, and I felt very uncomfortable and panicked. After meeting you, I feel much better. It seems that going to Jiangnan is not so scary anymore."
"You never seem to be like me, getting flustered easily, nor having such big mood swings like me, and you are not as willful as me."
"How did you do it? Can you teach me?"
Shen Wantang turned his head and looked at Gu Qianning who was leaning on his shoulder.
Her skin was as white as jade and as delicate as a peeled egg, without a single flaw. In the past, this beautiful face had always been carefree, but now it was tinged with a hint of worry.
And worry also prompted her to grow, and she began to desire to become tough and strong.
Shen Wantang said softly, "I used to panic and be afraid, but after experiencing more, I got used to it. Many times, except for life and death, everything else is trivial, including marriage. Don't think that the sky will fall when you leave a man, because leaving him may be a kind of new life."
Gu Qianning's face was filled with shame, and she whispered, "How do you know that I felt like the world would fall if I left the prince? In fact, I almost didn't want to live anymore. I locked myself in the room and cried for several days, and I didn't eat. My second brother kicked the door in and almost beat me up."
沈晚棠笑了起来：“人之常情，青梅竹马的太子要娶别人了，你难过很正常，哭就更正常了。倒是你二哥，有点儿不懂女孩子的心了，不好好安慰安慰你，还要揍你，回头我帮你骂他。”
When she heard that Shen Wantang wanted to help her scold Gu Qianhan, the dark clouds in Gu Qianning's heart dissipated, and she finally smiled: "That's great! Now you are the only one who dares to scold him!"
"You don't know, he has the final say in the Gu family. He has become so arrogant that he doesn't even know his last name. He is so powerful that it's outrageous!"
"By the way, he also forced my eldest brother to divorce my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest sister-in-law was so angry that she cried. My eldest brother tried to comfort her for many days!"
Shen Wantang: “…”
Although she knew that Gu Qianhan did this to protect his sister-in-law, his mental strength was really strong. Wasn't he afraid of being scolded to death by his whole family?
"Ah Tang, tell me, is my second brother crazy? He seems to be getting more and more abnormal. If I didn't know that the person he likes is you, I would have suspected that he has fallen in love with my eldest sister-in-law!"
Shen Wantang's expression froze, and he couldn't help but pat Gu Qianning: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
It was rare for Gu Qianning to see her with a strange expression. She smiled and hugged Shen Wantang's waist: "My second brother said that you already know that he likes you, so I don't need to cover up for him anymore! Oh, it's so tiring to cover up for him. He should have told you clearly a long time ago, so that I could call you second sister-in-law earlier!"
Shen Wantang put her hand over her mouth and said, "Stop it! Don't say it! I'm a widow. What will happen if someone hears this?"
Gu Qianning took her hand away: "Hey, everyone in this courtyard is yours, don't be afraid! I think that after my wedding is over, my second brother will come and ask you to marry him! He is too busy now and can't take care of himself. Don't worry, my second brother is the head of the Gu family now. If you go there, you will be in charge of the whole house and no one will dare to disrespect you!"
