I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

"Oops, oops, my makeup!"

Realizing that her makeup might be smudged, Gao Shu quickly took out the small square mirror she carried with her.

The result of this photo was terrible. I saw that my eye makeup was all mottled due to crying, and it was gray and black, which looked extremely ugly.

"What should I do?"

Gao Shu was so anxious that she took out a white handkerchief and tried to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but the more she wiped, the dirtier her eyes became...

At this moment, the voice of the Mu Mansion's steward came from outside the sedan chair: "Luotong Court has arrived, please ask the bride to get off the sedan chair."

Gao Shu was suddenly so anxious that she was at a loss.

"What should I do? What should I do? My makeup is all ruined. When I pick up the veil later...will Brother Shen think it's unlucky?"

With this uneasiness, Gao Shu almost held the sedan chair with trembling hands.

Unexpectedly, Gao Shu was overthinking it, she didn't even see Shen Yi smile!

When they got married, Gao Shu stood alone in front of her parents. The seat next to her that should have belonged to the groom, Shen Yixiao... was always empty.

"Where is my cousin? Why hasn't he come to get married yet?" The chief steward of the Mu Mansion, who was serving as the master of ceremonies, asked with a fake frown.

The maid from Luotong Courtyard stepped forward and replied loudly, "My cousin went to Zuihongxuan with a group of close friends early in the morning and has not returned yet."

Zuihongxuan?

When Gao Shu heard these three words, her whole face turned green.

You know, Zuihongxuan is the most famous brothel in the whole capital!

Even though Gao Shu was raised in seclusion and had little knowledge, she had heard of the name of Zuihongxuan many times.

On the wedding day, Shen Yixiao didn't stay at the Mu Mansion to get married with her, but stayed in the brothel to fool around with a group of prostitutes?

As a bride, how could Gao Shu possibly be open-minded?

Just as her lips were trembling and her face was filled with anger, a rooster suddenly crowed outside the door.

It turned out to be a matchmaker who came in holding a big rooster with a red crown.

"Master Steward, the prince said that since the cousin is in the brothel and has not had time to come back, then the big rooster will do the job and marry the cousin and Miss Gao on his behalf."

After hearing this, the Mu Mansion's chief steward immediately nodded and said, "Okay, this is the only way now."

But Gao Shu refused to do so. She lifted up her red veil and started yelling at the top of her lungs:

"No, absolutely not! Since we know that Shen Yixiao is in Zuihongxuan, why don't we ask the prince to send someone to find him? I can wait!"

She would rather wait than marry a rooster!

Hearing this, the Mu Mansion's chief steward smiled good-temperedly and said:

"Miss Gao, our cousin is clearly avoiding you. Even if you send someone to look for him, he may not come back."

"If you don't come back all night, or even come back after a few days, it will result in you not being able to get married. Then your status here... will be embarrassing."

It was really embarrassing. In the wedding customs of the Great Zhou Kingdom, marriage was only considered complete after the wedding ceremony. If they hadn't even done the wedding ceremony, they couldn't be considered husband and wife.

Then it would be a waste of marriage.

Even after getting on the bridal sedan, she still couldn't become Madam Shen, and she was still the unmarried girl in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Even more so, if she didn't get married for a long time, the Mu family might send her back to her parents' home as an unmarried woman.

This is something Gao Shu cannot accept at all!

After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Shu had to compromise again and married a big rooster that crowed with tears in her eyes.

"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber." The housekeeper of the Mu Mansion sang loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the bridesmaid immediately helped Gao Shu to the bridal chamber, and she also carried the big rooster along the way.

In the end, Gao Shu sat alone on the wedding bed and cried, but the big rooster was in high spirits, flapping its wings and running around the bed.

"Someone come, quickly catch this big rooster." Gao Shu took off her red veil in annoyance and shouted towards the door.

Unexpectedly, she waited for a long time, but no servant came in to serve her, Mrs. Shen.

Gao Shu, who had a bad temper, shouted angrily at her maidservant who came with her as a dowry: "Hongyou, Hongyou..."

After shouting for more than ten times, she heard the door creak open. Hongxiu wiped the red paint off her mouth with a handkerchief, walked in hurriedly and asked:

"Ma'am, is there something wrong?"

Gao Shu stood up straight in front of her maid who came with her as a dowry, and vented all her dissatisfaction on Hong You, cursing:

"Are you deaf? I called you more than ten times before you heard me?"

In Gao Shu's understanding, Hongyou should be guarding outside the door so that she can hear him when she is called.

Unexpectedly, Hong You lowered her head and explained, "No, Madam, I was not guarding outside the door. The housekeeper arranged for me... to have a feast in the yard."

Have a meal?

Yes, after the wedding, the man’s family always holds a grand banquet to entertain the guests.

At first, Gao Shu didn't hear anything unusual.

But the next moment, she suddenly realized something was wrong. Hongyou was just a little servant. How could she have the qualifications to sit at the same table with those distinguished guests?

So Gao Shu shouted, "How dare you lie to me? Do you really think I'm easy to fool? It's not your turn to eat at the banquet. Tell me, where did you go to slack off just now?"

In short, Gao Shu would never believe that Hongyou had a seat in the guest seats.

Hong You hurriedly defended herself, "Madam, I really didn't lie... All those who came to the banquet tonight were... maids and servants, not a single distinguished guest."

Gao Shu: ???

How can it be?

Whose wedding would not have distinguished guests come to congratulate? Moreover, the wedding banquet held by wealthy nobles like the Southwest Shen Family and the Southwest Mu Mansion should be full of guests!

"I didn't lie. Everything I said was true. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning." Hongyou swore.

Gao Shu was stunned in disbelief.

Could it be that what Hongyou said was true?

Can't you?

Just as she was in a daze, the big rooster suddenly spread its wings and jumped, and happened to jump onto Gao Shu's thigh, which brought Gao Shu back to her senses.

After coming back to her senses, Gao Shu was eager to verify, so she rushed over and opened the door in a hurry.

result……

Looking around, the whole yard was brightly lit, with about ten tables set up for banquets.

And those sitting at the table...there really wasn't a single noble official, just a group of servants dressed in blue cloth!

The owners of the Mu Mansion, Mu Shaoheng and Fu Yushu, did not show up!

This shabby scene is not like marrying Mrs. Shen at all. It is ten times more shabby than taking a concubine.

There is no need to express in words how much the Shen family despises Gao Shu; it is clear just by looking at the ten tables of banquets.

Gao Shu's heart ached with pain. This was completely different from how she had imagined getting married...

This is not getting married at all, it's just asking for trouble!
