For them, though they endured countless hardships, they finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
And all of this was bestowed by Chen Mo.
He had promised to help clear the Xu Family's grievances, and indeed, he fulfilled it.
Gu Manzhi and the others also came to the Xu Mansion. After all, now that the Moon Brilliance Sect had official backing, there was no need to hide in a place like the Imperial Music Bureau anymore.
Bang—
At this moment, the door swung open.
Xu Ling'er rushed in quickly, holding a notice.
"Aunt!"
"The court has issued a royal bulletin!"
"Mr. Chen is really getting married this time! The wedding is set for five days from now!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Miaozhi's expression changed. She hurried forward, covering Xu Ling'er's mouth, and whispered, "Lower your voice, don't shout, be careful not to let Saintess Gu and the others hear..."
"I have already heard it."
Gu Manzhi, dressed in a water-green gauze dress, stepped out from the hall, with Yu'er and Ye Henshui following behind her.
"Where's the royal bulletin, let me see it," Gu Manzhi approached the two and extended her hand.
Faced with Liu Miaozhi's reproachful look, Xu Ling'er shrank her neck and obediently handed over the notice.
Gu Manzhi carefully read through it from top to bottom and smiled, "Our lord is quite capable, isn't he? He actually managed to marry the Imperial Consort into the house? And he kept it a secret from me all this time... This is a good thing, we should be happy for him."
Yu'er clutched the hem of her skirt tightly and said softly, "Even though the master is already married, he can still come to see us, right?"
Ye Henshui lowered her head, saying nothing.
Now that Chen Mo holds the rank of First Grade official, an esteemed position, naturally, he must find a woman of equal social standing.
What are the three of them?
Two are people of the Jianghu, once wanted fugitives, and the other is a descendant of a criminal just cleared of servitude.
Let alone marrying Chen Mo, they are not even qualified to be his concubines, nor do they want to become a blemish on the Chen Family's reputation...
But even though they were mentally prepared, upon actually hearing this news, their hearts still felt a pang of bitterness.
Who would want to watch the one they love marry someone else?
What's more, with Yu Youhan's character, whether or not she can tolerate them is another matter. It would be difficult to even see Chen Mo in the future.
Seeing Gu Manzhi's forced smile, Liu Miaozhi sighed helplessly.
In this Imperial City, social hierarchy is paramount, and some matters cannot be forced...
Knock, knock, knock—
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
An old white-haired man walked in, and upon seeing the courtyard full of young women, he was momentarily stunned. He quickly clasped his hands and said, "I apologize, I saw the door was open, so I came in directly... May I ask if the wife of the Xu Family's uncle is here?"
"I am." Liu Miaozhi frowned slightly, "For what purpose has your excellency come to our door?"
