On the day her sister escaped from the wedding, Su Nian was stuffed into a sedan chair by her stepmother.
"If you don't marry, the Su family will be doomed." The stepmother threw the wedding dress into her arms, "Anyway, all the Gu family wants is a bride."
She lowered her head and ran her fingertips over the old jade bracelet at the bottom of the trousseau box - Laokeng glass, with enough water to illuminate the figure. This is not something from the Su family. It's her mother's.
When my mother died when I was eight years old, the bracelet disappeared.
Now it lay in her trousseau, as if someone had deliberately inserted it.
As soon as his fingertips touched the surface of the bracelet, his eyes exploded in white: three months later, his sister was pushed into the river and never emerged again; eight months later, a black car crashed into Gu Yan; the Gu family's old house was burned all night long.
She squeezed the bracelet. Substitute marriage is not a sacrifice, it is self-help.
Gu Yan, the prince of the Gu family who was said to be a master of his wife, was as cold as a jade. On the wedding night, he made an agreement: "We will divorce in one year and we won't disturb each other. Be calm and don't die in my house like the other two."
Su Nian lowered his head to embroider the handkerchief - no, lowered his head to play with the bracelet, and smiled meekly: "Okay."
Of course she is at ease. He can appraise treasures safely, investigate his mother's death calmly, and see through the ledgers hidden under the skin of everyone in the Gu family.
Gu Yan thought she was troublesome at first, but later he discovered that none of the jade that Mrs. Gu had passed was wrong. She can tell the authenticity of the fake goods sent by her second uncle at a glance; the old man tests her ancient jade, and she can tell the year by touching it.
Later, there was a rumor in Beijing circles that the cold-faced prince of the Gu family begged his wife to spoil him every day.
"Mrs. Gu, do you want to go home for dinner tonight?"
"Mrs. Gu, I was wrong."
"Mrs. Gu—please pamper me, okay?
