Gao Manor.
Under the meticulous arrangements of the Gao family, many invitations were quickly distributed.
It was only a day before people came to congratulate him.
"Brother Gao?"
Gao Shilian only needed to hear the voice to know who had come.
The owner of this voice was Xiao Yu. The two of them had been friends for many years, so how could they not recognize each other's voice?
Gao Shilian hurriedly stood up and went to welcome him personally.
"Stomp…"
When they arrived outside the hall, they saw Xiao Yu and the Underworld Master walking over together.
He also had a good relationship with the Underworld Master and was one of the colleagues who had a good personal relationship with him.
"Brother Gao, congratulations."
The Underworld Master and Xiao Yu cupped their hands and said.
"Please come in."
Gao Shilian waved his hand and welcomed the two into the hall. Then, he ordered someone to make hot tea for them.
"Brother Gao, what exactly is going on with Wugou's engagement this time?”
After sitting down and seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Yu went straight to the point.
Gao Shilian had sent out an invitation to Wugou and Cao Feng's engagement banquet.
However, Cao Feng was previously engaged to the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Xiu Ning.
Therefore, the two of them were shocked and determined that something must have happened inside.
"I won't hide it from you…"
Gao Shilian began to explain the situation between Cao Feng and Li Xiuning, including the process of Cao Feng's marriage proposal.
In fact, he had specially called these famous and familiar people over to support the Wugou couple.
"There's actually such a thing?"
After hearing this, the Underworld Master clicked his tongue in surprise.
If Shi Lian had not explained it to them, they would not have thought of this.
"He actually ran away two days before the engagement banquet. Isn't this trying to make the Cao family feel ashamed?”
Xiao Yu frowned. As an outsider, he felt that Li Xiu Ning's actions were too much.
After all, the Cao family and the Li family had a good relationship for generations.
"Yes, I am."
Gao Shilian sighed.
"Rumor has it that although Li Xiu Ning is a female general, she has a good personality. I didn't expect her to be so willful.”
The Underworld Master also shook his head continuously. It was obvious that Li Xiu Ning's actions had greatly reduced their impression of her.
Gao Shilian understood how they felt. When he first found out about this, he felt the same as them.
"No wonder the Gao Residence was in such a hurry to send out invitations.”
Xiao Yu finally understood why the Gao Residence had suddenly sent out the invitation. He had thought that Gao Shilian had forgotten about his old friend.
He didn't even know about such an important matter in advance, and he had already received an invitation.
"Li Xiuning is quite willful and does things without considering the consequences. It's a blessing in disguise that Cao Feng didn't marry her.”
At this moment, the Underworld Master laughed.
If she did, who knew if Li Xiu Ning would do something shocking in the future?
This would damage the Cao family's reputation. To the already declining Cao family, it was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
"Cao Feng, that brat, has made a huge profit by missing out on Li Xiuning marrying Wugou.”
Xiao Yu changed the topic. How could they not know what was going on with Wugou after being friends with Gao Shilian for so many years?
This woman was very virtuous and talented. Not only was she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she also had a certain amount of knowledge.
The most important thing was that she was gentle and considerate. She was truly worthy of being called a lady from a noble family.
"Cao Feng is quite capable. You can tell from the way he handled this matter.”
"So, Brother Gao, you don't have to worry. You can rest assured and entrust Wugou to him.”
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Not bad. To be able to calmly deal with such a change at such a young age, there's indeed no fault to be found.”
Gao Shilian was undoubtedly proud of his good friend's praise.
When Wugou married over, Cao Feng would be his nephew's son-in-law.
"Haha."
Hearing the arrogance in his words, the Underworld Master and Xiao Yu laughed loudly, and the atmosphere became a little festive.
Then, Gao Shilian settled the two of them down and went to entertain the others.
He had good connections in the court, so many people came in advance.
It was reasonable for him to become busy on the eve of the engagement banquet.
"Please…"
It was lively outside, and congratulations were constantly heard.
The Zhangsun siblings and Gao Xing stayed in the backyard.
Perhaps thinking about the official engagement tomorrow, Zhangsun Wugou was filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the starry night sky. No one knew what she was thinking.
"After Wugou marries over, we and Cao Feng will be true relatives.”
Gao Shilian's son, Gao Xing, was chatting with Zhangsun Wuji.
"Yeah, we were childhood sweethearts to begin with. If we can become family, we'll be even closer.”
Zhangsun Wuji was also overjoyed.
From this, it was not difficult to see that he was very supportive of his sister's engagement with Cao Feng.
One had to know that Wugou had relied on him since they were young. In his opinion, this was his closest relative.
Therefore, she was also someone he had to protect. If the other party did not obtain his approval, how could he be at ease and marry Wugou?
"That's right, and it's even more joyous.”
Gao Xing agreed with this point.
"Wugou, we're getting engaged tomorrow. Why do you still look like you're out of your mind?”
While chatting, he noticed that Wugou was silent, so he asked.
"Yes…"
Zhangsun Wugou lowered his head. Due to the darkness of the night, he did not notice that her face had turned a little red.
"To Purity, this reversal is too great. Everything happened too suddenly.”
Zhangsun Wuji said when he saw his sister's shyness.
Even they had such a feeling, let alone Wugou.
"Elder brother is right. However, Wugou is already content.”
Zhangsun Wugou regained his composure and smiled.
"Haha, looks like Wugou has long been interested in Brother Cao.”
Gao Xing joked.
"If that's the case, as your elder brother, I actually didn't notice it.”
Similarly, Zhangsun Wuji teased.
"Brothers, please chat. Wugou needs to go back and prepare.”
Zhangsun Wugou's face turned red as he left these words behind and walked towards the boudoir.
She sat alone in front of the mirror, but her heart was pounding.
"It is only the engagement banquet now and not the official wedding banquet yet. When the day of the official wedding…"
Zhangsun Wugou looked at himself in the mirror and became more and more nervous.
"Young miss, at the engagement banquet, we still have to prepare the engagement item.”
The maid beside him reminded him.
"Yes, this matter is very important and cannot be forgotten.”
Zhangsun Wugou replied.
It wasn't that she had forgotten, but she had never thought of something suitable.
At this moment, she searched her mind again. She thought about it, but it seemed that it was difficult to find a token that she liked.
"Right!"
Her eyes lit up and she suddenly took out a jade pendant. This jade pendant was given to her by her deceased father.
The jade pendant was priceless. It was a natural jade pendant with some protective symbols engraved on it.
It could be said that this jade pendant was undoubtedly of extraordinary significance to her.
If it was used as her and Brother Feng's engagement token, it would be the most suitable.
"I've decided to choose you. With you by Brother Feng's side, it's equivalent to me being myself.”
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Wugou smiled in satisfaction.
