The wedding gift that Gu gave to Jin Zi and Ling 'er was a brocade box.
Han Yunxi and the rest recognized this brocade box because it was exactly the same as the one that Gu had given to Gu Beiyue at his wedding!
Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er had peeked inside the box. As the recipient, Gu Beiyue had naturally seen it. As for Qin Min, when she was living in Yunning, there were no servants in the Grand Tutor's residence. She had personally helped Gu Beiyue tidy up the house a few times and had seen this gift box. Driven by curiosity, she had also peeked inside.
Tang Li and Ning Jing were very curious. One must know that Gu's gift was definitely not ordinary. Long Fei Ye was not interested in Gu's gift and his thoughts were not on the wedding banquet. He had been waiting for Ning Cheng's gift. He was here for the person who stood him up.
Although Jin Zi did not give Ning Cheng an invitation on the surface, no one knew if he had secretly invited Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng and Jin Zi could be said to have been friends since childhood. Would Ning Cheng not come to Jin Zi's wedding?
In any case, even if Ning Cheng didn't come, he should have sent a gift, right?
As long as he caught the person who sent the gift, Long Fei Ye would have many ways to find Ning Cheng. He did not care if Ning Cheng stayed or left. He had to fulfill the promise that he had made to him.
Jin Zi received the gift and said Coldly, "I will have to trouble Imperial Bodyguard Xu to thank His Highness Prince Yu on behalf of us. As he spoke, he was about to open the brocade box in front of everyone.
"Don't open it!"
Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er said at the same time.
Gu Beiyue was as calm as ever, as if he had never received the same gift and did not know what was inside. Qin Min did not say anything and just looked on. The two of them could be considered to have calmed down at the same time.
"Why?" Jin Zi asked suspiciously.
"Because, because …"
Mu Linger spoke for awhile, but couldn't come up with a reason. Fortunately, Han Yunxi was quick-witted and she hurriedly explained, "The wedding is not over yet. Why are you in such a hurry to open the gift? Hurry and send the bride to the bridal chamber. If the auspicious time is missed, it would not be good. "
Unfortunately, this excuse could not convince Jin Zi and instead aroused his curiosity. If it was anything else, Jin Zi wouldn't pay much attention to it, but he really wanted to take a look at Gu Qishao's gift.
Therefore, he ignored Han Yunxi and Ling 'er and suddenly opened the brocade box.
At this moment, Mu Ling 'er closed her eyes. Han Yunxi was speechless and Gu Beiyue pulled the corners of his mouth, faintly embarrassed. Qin Min secretly glanced at Gu Beiyue and decided to continue acting dumb.
Jin Zi stared at the brocade box with a complicated expression and did not speak for a long time.
The wedding was grand and the wedding banquet was grand. There were three banquets on the prairie and countless bonfires. However, there were only the few of them in this tent. The bustling outside turned the night in the prairie into a sleepless night. However, Jin Zi's silence made the tent exceptionally quiet.
Mu Ling 'er's ears started to turn red. She scolded Jin Zi in her heart, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen enough after looking at it for so long? Why aren't you closing the lid? Can't you just act as if nothing happened? "
Unexpectedly, Jin Zi suddenly turned to look at her and casually handed the box over. "Mu Ling 'er, this is not a wedding gift. It's from Gu."
"Ah?"
Mu Ling 'er blurted out in shock and her entire face instantly turned red. What was Qi Brother doing? Causing trouble?
Han Yunxi held her forehead with one hand. She did not know what to say to Jin Zi. Gu was messing around. Could it be that Jin Zi was going to mess around too? If he wanted to show that kind of thing to Ling 'er, he would have to hide in the bridal chamber!
Where would Ling 'er put her face in front of everyone?
Jin Zi handed the box over to Mu Ling 'er with both hands. Jin Zi was too tall and Mu Ling' er was too short. Even though the box was in front of her, she still could not see it. Of course, she did not dare to look.
She hurriedly closed the brocade box before accepting it.
"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" Jin Zi asked Coldly.
Mu Ling 'er was angry. What did this guy want? She was about to fly into a rage when Jin Zi said indifferently, "I've prepared a dowry for you. Although it's late, you should still open it and take a look."
When he said this, everyone was shocked. Mu Ling 'er could not help but stare with her mouth agape.
Dowry?
How …
Mu Ling 'er hurriedly opened the brocade box and saw a letter lying in the brocade box. There were two big words written on the envelope: "Dowry". This was Qi Brother's handwriting. She could recognize it at a glance! She took out the letter and saw a small medicine bottle lying quietly in the brocade box. She was very, very familiar with this small medicine bottle.
This small medicine bottle was given to him when she gave him the life-saving Medicinal Pills. She lied to him and said that there were life-saving Medicinal Pills hidden in it and that he should only open it when he was in a life and death situation. In fact, this small medicine bottle not only hid her most precious pills, but also her confession note.
At that time, she had childishly hoped that Qi Brother would be able to understand her feelings while he was still alive. Now that she thought about it, Mu Ling 'er wanted to laugh. Why was she so stupid back then? Qi Brother was such a smart person. How could he not see through her?
Did he return the small medicine bottle to her? Did he even look at what was inside? What kind of dowry was this?
Was he going to give her a clear rejection on her wedding day?
Besides Mu Ling 'er, no one else present knew that this small medicine bottle originally belonged to Mu Ling' er. Jin Zi said indifferently, "Did he give you medicine?"
Mu Ling 'er looked up and her eyes met Jin Zi's beautiful eyes. His eyes were filled with seriousness and curiosity. She could see through his persistence at a glance.
She knew that he wanted to know what was in the bottle. The look in his eyes made her heart ache uncontrollably.
She didn't want to open it or explain. She didn't want Jin Zi to see it!
She didn't know how to answer in front of so many people. She didn't want to embarrass him.
Her heart … ached!
Just as she was at a loss, Jin Zi suddenly took the small medicine bottle and opened it.
At this moment, Mu Linger's tears were about to fall. But! She saw Jin Zi pour out a pile of golden sand from the bottle!
There were no pills or confession notes, but a bottle full of golden sand! Extremely, extremely precious and priceless golden sand!
It was even, exquisite, soft, pure, and resplendent. Under the light of the lanterns, it shimmered with a faint golden glow, making it incomparably luxurious and beautiful.
Now this was gold! The purest form of gold in all of Cloud Realm Continent!
"Jin Zi …" Mu Ling 'er blurted out in shock!
Jin Zi was surprised as well. As soon as Mu Ling 'er said "Jin Zi," he looked up and realized she was talking about the golden sand in his hands.
Jin Zi disdained Gu as a person, so he disdained Gu's gifts as well. But looking at the golden sand in his hands, he couldn't help but admire it. Not to mention his sincerity, it was really not easy to find an entire bottle of it.
The crowd was surprised to see Jin Zi's hands full of gold as well.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. "Ling 'er, do you like your Qi Brother's dowry?"
Before Mu Ling 'er could answer, Tang Li kicked up a fuss. "Ling' er, do you like your Qi Brother's gold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Jing viciously stomped on Tang Li's foot. Would this fellow die if he didn't open his mouth? Ning Jing had almost gone crazy from Mu Ling 'er's pestering back in Tiger's Prison. She knew very well how Mu Ling' er used to feel for Gu.
If Ling 'er still hadn't given up, then Tang Li's words were like rubbing salt on her wound!
Tang Li felt the pain from the stomp and didn't dare to make another sound.
Unexpectedly, Jin Zi asked, "Mu Ling 'er, do you like it?"
Mu Ling 'er looked at him without replying.
Immediately, the atmosphere grew tense again. The adults were all scared witless, especially Han Yunxi. She still didn't know why Ling 'er was getting married. She was truly afraid of this foolish, impulsive girl. She was afraid that she'd get married on impulse, afraid that Gu's gift would make her impulsive again and ruin the wedding.
Love could be a matter of one person. It could be impulsive.
However, marriage could only be a matter of two people. Impulsiveness would hurt.
Mu Ling 'er was really quiet for a long time. She seemed to be sitting on an important decision that needed to be considered very carefully. After such a long time, not only was Han Yunxi anxious, but everyone else was also nervous.
Ning Jing gave Han Yunxi a few glances, but Han Yunxi couldn't do anything. Ning Jing was annoyed and stepped on Tang Li even harder! Who asked him to talk too much! Who asked him so bluntly! Who asked him to make things difficult for Ling 'er! Who asked him to give Jin Zi a chance to ask Ling 'er like that!
Tang Li endured the pain and couldn't wait for Mu Ling 'er to speak quickly. If Mu Ling 'er didn't speak, Ning Jing wouldn't let go of his foot!
Everyone was anxious, but Jin Zi was very calm. He slowly put the golden sand into the small medicine bottle and waited patiently.
If Mu Ling 'er was willing to seriously think about this problem, even at the wedding, he could still wait patiently. Wait for her to think it through, wait for her to think it through.
After putting the golden sand back into the bottle, Jin Zi hesitated and simply opened the letter in front of everyone. When he opened it, he realized that the letter was actually for him. There was only one sentence in the letter, but Jin Zi looked at it for a long time.
The sentence was, "Jin Zi, my sister is honest, stupid, and ignorant of the world. I hope you can forgive and love her. I am very grateful."
The signature was, "Brother, Gu."
Jin Zi was stunned for a long time before he recovered. He didn't know why, but his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Previously, no matter how much Mu Ling 'er hurt him, he had never felt so uncomfortable.
To be exact, it was heartache.
This letter was so warm, but at the same time, it was also extremely cruel. This warm request meant that Mu Ling 'er was completely rejected by Gu.
Looking at Mu Ling 'er, his heart actually ached more than his heart ached.
This poor thing was rejected and abandoned.
However, he still forced a smile. Just like before, he laughed without a care in the world. He presented the letter to her and said jokingly, "Mu Ling 'er, look, Gu really doesn't want you anymore. You can follow me from now on. I'm still willing to take you in. "
The people around them couldn't see what was written on the letter, but when they heard Jin Zi's words, they all frowned, including Long Fei Ye.
How much did he like her that he was willing to force her?
Mu Ling 'er looked at Gu's handwriting. As she looked, tears fell. She looked up at Jin Zi and muttered, "Jin Zi, don't force yourself, okay …"
"No." Jin Zi decisively interrupted her fiercely.
"But … but …" Mu Ling 'er seemed to be frightened and cried even harder. "But … but Qi Brother didn't want me two years ago. I … I don't want him anymore."
Jin Zi was stunned.
