At the stroke of the hour of the Rabbit, Gu Wan Ning stood at the entrance, seeing off Gu Chang Qing with countless reminders.
"Father, once you reach the border, you must take good care of yourself."
Gu Chang Qing looked at his daughter with reluctance and cautioned, "Ning'er, the family is well. If you encounter anything you can't resolve, remember to send someone to the Jing Wangfu to find Qing'er. Never endure losses silently."
Gu Wan Ning nodded in response.
In less than an hour, Gu Hao Tian finished packing and was ready to set off. Seeing Gu Wan Ning standing at the door, he worriedly said, "Ning'er, your elder brother is leaving again. Remember to protect yourself. Also, I've ordered a set of headpieces from Zhenbao Pavilion meant for Zhang Taifu's family. If you have time, please help me bring it back to deliver to Taifu's house for Yi Wen."
"Elder brother, I will remember. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes; I will definitely take care of myself."
With countless words left unspoken, Gu Wan Ning reluctantly watched as Gu Hao Tian departed. Only when she could no longer hear the sound of hooves did she return to the courtyard.
As Gu Chang Qing set off for the border, apart from Gu Wan Ning, no one else in the Zhongyuan Marquis household seemed concerned at all.
Gu Yan Ran was overjoyed and paid no heed to the already deranged Gu Ruo Feng. She immediately instructed Gu Si Yuan to bring Chen Die and her son back to the residence.
She ordered Granny Gu to dress up Gu Ruo Feng and bring her to the main hall.
Granny Gu felt pity for Gu Ruo Feng and sighed, shaking her head. The current young lady was entirely focused on her own interests, showing no concern for her own mother. As a servant, she could only obey her masters and let out a sigh.
Gu Yan Ran cast a glance at Granny Gu, who quickly assisted the dazed Gu Ruo Feng into her rightful place as the mistress.
Chen Die knelt before Gu Ruo Feng and took a cup of tea from a servant, presenting it to her.
"Sister, please have some tea."
Gu Ruo Feng seemed not to hear; she merely lowered her head, soothing the pillow she held in her arms.
She murmured softly, "Xuan'er, be good..."
Gu Si Yuan frowned in displeasure and shot an annoyed glance at Gu Ruo Feng. Then he turned his gaze towards Granny Gu with a hint of anger.
Under Gu Si Yuan's irritated gaze, Granny Gu forced herself to step forward and take the tea from Chen Die’s hands, offering it to Gu Ruo Feng.
"Madam, here, have some tea."
She looked at the now foolish Gu Ruo Feng with helplessness in her heart, feeling as if she were swallowing bitter water—both bitter and heart-wrenching.
Accompanied by her husband for a decade and raising their biological daughter for ten years, she felt a piercing chill stab into her heart, as if it were a cold, sharp blade.
After taking a sip of tea, Ruofeng buried her head, continuing to coax the pillow in her arms, which lay still like a lifeless object.
The hand bracelet prepared by Grandma Ku was placed into Chen Die's palm, marking the completion of the ceremony.
Seeing that everything was settled, Gu Siyuan ordered the servants to take the young master away, then embraced the beautiful Chen Die as they entered the courtyard.
Grandma Ku looked at the beaming master and turned to glance at Ruofeng, who remained seated in her original position, murmuring to herself. She sighed softly.
In the courtyard, Gu Yanran passed by Xuezhuyuan and paused to stretch her neck, scanning the bamboo grove. A glint of calculation flickered in her eyes.
She stepped forward and entered Xuezhuyuan. The servants, noticing Gu Yanran's arrival, hurried inside to report to Hong Ling.
Hidden among the bamboo grove, Yinsha caught sight of Gu Yanran's figure and felt a slight stir in her brow.
The eldest lady had instructed her to be cautious of those in the household, especially Gu Yanran. This woman was full of malice and surely meant no good.
