Chapter 573: Inviting Grandfather
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Prince Lan was known as the most handsome man in the world, with a rare appearance. Coupled with his extremely noble status and unparalleled strength, he didn’t show his admiration for women, earning him the reputation as the most elusive high-class flower.
People privately discussed what kind of woman could win over this “flower.”
The most mentioned candidates were either the daughters of the noble families in the Holy Capital or the young ladies from various sects.
For this, people had countless debates.
Even the residents of Tianjing City couldn’t resist gossiping. It was a common topic during tea breaks and meals.
Some had speculated if Gu Lingxue would become Prince Lan’s woman.
But no one had ever expected that the person would be Gu Qingluan!
People were so excited that their faces turned red as if it was their own wedding to Prince Lan.
No one would ever question if the groom was worthy of Gu Qingluan.
Everyone praised them as a match made in heaven, a perfect couple.
Compliments overflowed from everyone’s mouths.
Feng Tianlan, riding on his horse, overheard their conversations and felt satisfied.
However, that wasn’t enough!
He wanted Qingluan to become the most dazzling bride in all of Tianjing. No one would dare to mock her past anymore!
Behind Feng Tianlan, in addition to the regular bridal procession, there was also a team carrying a multitude of boxes.
After admiring the groom’s peerless appearance, people finally noticed the team with the boxes, which seemed to stretch endlessly.
“So many boxes in the bridal procession, could they all be betrothal gifts?” “Definitely betrothal gifts! I haven’t heard of anyone coming to the Jun Residence for a betrothal recently. They must have arranged to bring them on the wedding day.”
In traditional marriage customs, there were three letters and six rituals, with the fourth ritual being the delivery of betrothal gifts to the bride’s family.
Due to the rush of time and the special relationship and status of Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan, some steps were skipped or rearranged.
Although there would be another wedding ceremony in the Holy Capital later, Feng Tianlan wanted to give her the best possible on this day. Part of the reason he had been busy recently was to prepare these betrothal gifts.
Yu Huarong stood among the crowd, surrounded by guards like Ah Cheng to prevent anyone from bumping into her.
She paid no attention to the people around her and watched the approaching man with eyes filled with unbearable sadness.
She resorted to poisoning so many innocent people just to stop them, and yet she couldn’t prevent her cousin from marrying Gu Qingluan?
The city had witnessed a tragic scene just yesterday, and he couldn’t even wait for a few more days; he was this eager to welcome his bride. Was he really that concerned about that woman?
His expression had already given her the answer.
She had never seen such a clear smile on Feng Tianlan’s face before.
From his eyebrows to the corners of his mouth, it radiated happiness, not a cold or fake smile, but a genuine one from the heart.
Yu Huarong’s heart felt as if it were being stirred by an iron rod, in excruciating pain. It was like a raging fire burning with jealousy.
No, her cousin belonged to her!
She wouldn’t give up like this!
Yu Huarong’s eyes burst with a startling brightness.
Just as she was about to leave, Feng Tianlan arrived outside the Jun Residence.
A sedan chair that had been following not far behind also came to a stop. People were curious about this sedan chair, wondering what it was for. Its appearance was plain, with a deep blue color that didn’t match the grandeur of the bridal procession.
At that moment, someone bent down and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
Onlookers craned their necks to get a better view.
An old man emerged from the sedan chair.
People started speculating about the identity of this old man.
But when Yu Huarong saw him, her face changed dramatically.
“How could it be…”
Her cousin had actually invited their maternal grandfather!
