Chapter 2

"Ahem..." Suddenly asked a question, Duke Gu was taken aback on the spot, his mouth opened but he didn't know how to respond to his daughter.

Gu Qiancheng cast a cold glance over the guests at the ceremony. These people quickly turned their faces away, looking awkward. Some looked at Qin Yunchu, others at Gu Qiancheng, but no one spoke. The wedding hall was eerily quiet, as if even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

At this moment, Lady Quanfu, receiving a signal, stepped forward to break the silence: "Duke Gu, a woman with a disability indeed cannot marry into the royal family. If the Gu family insists on having the eldest daughter marry, it might not only fail to form an alliance but also turn into an enemy."

"Indeed, your eldest daughter has a disability and is not suitable to marry into the Zhao王府 (Zhao Mansion)." As soon as Lady Quanfu finished speaking, someone immediately echoed her.

Gu Qiancheng had already seen Lady Gu signal Lady Quanfu to step forward, so he was not surprised. He only stared fixedly at Duke Gu, waiting for the biological father of this body to speak.

Everyone also looked at Duke Gu, waiting for him to make a decision.

In such a situation, even if Duke Gu was unwilling, he had to speak. He didn't dare to look at Gu Qiancheng, only addressing Qin Yunchu: "Qiancheng has a leg disability and is indeed not suitable to marry into the Zhao王府 (Zhao Mansion). However, changing the bride at the wedding is too absurd."

"How absurd? Is it that the young lord of this world is supposed to suffer in silence and marry a cripple?" Qin Yunchu had a haughty look, the word "cripple" becoming smoother with each repetition, and his gaze at Gu Qiancheng was full of disgust.

Gu Qiancheng, as if she hadn't heard, smiled faintly, as if this farce had nothing to do with her, and she was just a bystander.

Compared to the wedding, Gu Qiancheng was more concerned about her injured foot. She only hoped this farce would end soon, or her foot wouldn't hold up.

Given the situation, even if Qin Yunchu was willing to marry, Gu Qiancheng wouldn't.

Seeing that Duke Gu was taking too long to give a definite answer, Qin Yunchu threatened again: "Duke Gu, will the bride be changed or not? This young lord is still waiting for the bride to get into the flower sedan. As for Gu Qiancheng's disability, you can marry her to whoever you want, but this young lord doesn't want her."

Duke Gu, hearing Qin Yunchu's disrespectful words, turned red with anger. Both his daughter and son-in-law were troublemakers, and neither was sensible.

"Sir..." Lady Gu called out in a delicate voice, a woman not yet thirty, in her prime, with charm and grace, and not lacking in nobility due to her life of luxury.

This call of "Sir" instantly calmed Duke Gu, who comfortingly called out, "Lady."

Seeing this, Lady Gu's smile grew wider, and she quickly persuaded: "Sir, what Young Lord Chu said is not wrong. Qiancheng's leg disability indeed makes her unsuitable to marry into the Zhao王府 (Zhao Mansion). If Young Lord is willing to marry Qianxue, it will also save face for you, Sir. Otherwise, if the wedding fails, it will be a disgrace to our Duke's Mansion."

"About this..." Duke Gu looked troubled. Seeing this, Lady Gu gave Qin Yunchu a meaningful look.

Qin Yunchu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward, his tone softening slightly: "If Duke Gu disagrees with changing the bride, this young lord won't force you. This young lord will leave now. You can keep the cripple Gu Qiancheng yourselves. This young lord will never marry her, to avoid a feud between the two families."

Saying this, he turned and left, but his steps made Gu Qiancheng laugh. Even if it was to scare people, could the young lord be a bit more professional? Taking three steps and looking back, do you really think others don't know what you're thinking?

As an observer, Gu Qiancheng could see through Qin Yunchu's pretense, and the guests could also see it, but they didn't dare to say anything. They had seen Qin Yunchu's arrogance.

The one who should have seen through Qin Yunchu's retreat and advance didn't, and instead fell into Qin Yunchu's low-level trap, making Gu Qiancheng doubt the intelligence of this so-called biological father. Of course, it was also possible that her father was putting on a show.

Seeing Qin Yunchu about to leave, Duke Gu hurriedly stood up and said: "Young Lord, wait a moment. All of Shangjing knows that the Zhao王府 (Zhao Mansion) and the Gu family are to be united today. If the wedding fails, where will the two mansions' faces be? As Young Lord said, the bride can be changed to Qianxue, but the Prince and Princess..."

Gu Qiancheng was the Prince's Consort chosen by the Zhao Princess, and Duke Gu didn't dare to act rashly. This was something Qin Yunchu had to say.

Achieving his goal, Qin Yunchu stopped, turned around with a smile: "If Duke had agreed earlier, there would have been no problem. As for my father and mother, Duke need not worry, this young lord will explain."

This father-in-law and son-in-law directly bypassed Gu Qiancheng, ignoring her wishes, and agreed to change the bride in a few words.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the guests immediately smiled and came forward to congratulate. As for Gu Qiancheng, in everyone's eyes, she was superfluous...
