"Worship the heaven and the earth——"

Following the steps shouted by the master of ceremonies, the two people kowtowed one by one.

After three bows to the high hall, the master of ceremonies shouted again, "Sent into the bridal chamber——"

The scene burst into cheers and celebrations, and the guests raised their glasses to congratulate today's officiant, Sui Wei.

The banquet officially started, and there were constant laughter and congratulations. It was very lively, but the eyes of a man hiding in the corner were full of unwillingness and pain. After watching the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, he turned around and left lonely, but did not notice that there was a pretty person chasing after him as he left.

Qian Lanqiu searched for him for a long time and finally found him outside the new house.

When she saw the decadent figure slumped in the pavilion, she felt a sense of reluctance, which made her forget her proper restraint and quickly stepped forward.

As soon as she got closer, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol, which was so pungent that she frowned unconsciously, making her even more worried about the man with his eyes tightly closed.

When she came to his side, she knelt down, looked at the drunk man, and called softly: "Brother Jingtian... are you okay?"

The man with his eyes closed did not respond, as if he was drunk to death.

Seeing this, Guan Lanqiu bit her pink lips.

It was early spring, and it was late at night. If he was allowed to sleep alone in this uncovered pavilion for one night, he would definitely catch the cold. Moreover, today was Zi Yan's wedding banquet. If the wedding guests saw him drunk outside the new house, the rumors would definitely make him even more sad.

After thinking about it, she was unwilling to leave him alone here. All the servants in the mansion were gathered in the front hall to greet the guests. It seemed that she was the only one who could support him...

Lowering her eyes, she shouted again: "Brother Jingtian, did you hear me?"

It would be best if he could be awakened, but the man lying on the stone table still didn't respond.

There was hesitation in her almond-shaped eyes. Thinking about being so close to a man, Qi Lanqiu felt a little shy, not to mention that this man was the man she had long admired.

While she was hesitating, the noise and footsteps of guests suddenly came from the distance, which made her heart tighten. She knew that it was the groom's relatives and friends who were coming to make a fuss about the wedding.

There was no time to hesitate.

Heartbroken, she stretched out her hand to help Feng Jingtian, who was lying drunk on the stone table."Hmm...it's so heavy!"

The petite Gui Lanqiu was already more than a head shorter than Feng Jingtian, and since he was completely unconscious at this time, the weight of his body was almost entirely on her thin shoulders, making her almost unable to stand still.

But again, she still tried her best to drag his limp body towards the corridor.

Sui Wei is hospitable, and the mansion has about a dozen guest rooms for friends from all over the place to rest and live in. However, due to the wedding banquet, all the guest rooms were occupied by the relatives and friends of Zi Yan's newlywed husband Ao Yun. Currently, there is no vacant room to accommodate the drunken Feng Jingtian.But even if she did, she didn't have the strength to drag him over. The only place she could think of to place him and be closest to the two of them was her boudoir.

She knew that this was not etiquette, but she could not care so much anymore. She only wanted to put the person in place as soon as possible so that he could comfortably spend this very painful night for him. As for her, she could spend the night in the personal maid's room.

A distance that usually only lasted about ten steps, but Guan Lanqiu spent a lot of effort and time to get back to the room.

Panting, she dragged him to the bed. Without even taking a break, she rushed to the kitchen and asked her aunt for a basin of warm water.

Returning to the room, she first placed the basin on the low table next to the couch, turned around and closed the door, then returned to the bed and took a closer look at the man with his eyes closed on the couch. There was deep nostalgia in his almond-shaped eyes.

Feng Jingtian didn't know that it was not only him who was sad tonight, but also her.

She knew that he liked his sister, and tonight was her sister's big day. She would not know how sad and sad he was, and how could it not be easier for her to see him lonely and sad for other women?

Suppressing the reluctance in her eyes, Guan Lanqiu twisted the warm silk handkerchief and gently wiped his handsome and haggard face.

She thought he was already asleep, but she didn't expect that when she wiped his narrow eyes, the black eyes that should have been closed suddenly opened and met hers with a look of confusion.

Guan Lanqiu was startled, and the silk handkerchief in her hand slipped and fell on him, "Brother Jingtian... you, are you awake?"

She wanted to clean up for him and leave, but she didn't expect him to wake up suddenly, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while.

The sweet call made Feng Jingtian a little confused. He narrowed his eyes to see the woman in front of him clearly, and then called hoarsely, "Zi Yan..."

Hearing this, Guan Lanqiu stiffened.

"Zi Yan..." He sat up and hugged her suddenly, "I knew... I knew you wouldn't be so cruel to marry someone else..."

Without warning, he hugged Gui Lanqiu tightly into his arms. The two of them were inseparable, and her pink face turned red with embarrassment.

"Brother Jingtian, you have recognized the wrong person..." She twisted slightly, trying to distance the two of them from being too close.

"No, don't leave me!"

Afraid of her leaving, Feng Jingtian not only refused to let go, but hugged her even tighter, the force almost making her breathless.

"Brother Jingtian..." She tried her best to bend her hands and put them against his chest, trying to make him see that she was not who he thought she was. "I am Lan Qiu, not Zi Yan. Please wake up."

"Lan Qiu?" He tried hard to gather his scattered eyes and stared at the charming girl tightly in his arms.

That dark eyebrow, those apricot eyes, that straight nose and those pink cherry lips, no matter how you look at it, she is the person in his heart. She is obviously his Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan, Zi Yan! Don't even try to lie to me, I will never let you go again..."

"Brother Jingtian, I told you I'm not...let me go..."

The strong alcohol made Feng Jingtian unconscious. No matter how Guan Lanqiu explained, he would not let go. Finally, he turned over, took her to the bed, and kissed her slightly parted lips.

This sudden change made Guan Lanqiu's almond-shaped eyes widen, and her heart beat wildly due to this intimate contact.

"Zi Yan..." Kissing the fragrant lips that he had longed for, he could no longer restrain his thoughts for days and reached out to gently untie her belt.

That night, not only could the sound of the newlyweds hugging each other and breathing come from the new house, but also from here...

Chapter 2(1)

Recalling that night, Guan Lanqiu still felt sweet. Even if she only had him for one night, even if his surprised and disbelieving look hurt her early the next morning, she still would not regret it.

Although she didn't regret it, she never thought about Feng Jingtian's feelings.

If she had known that that night would make him so regretful, she would not have let it happen even if she tried her best, but it was already too late...

She suppressed the sadness in her eyes, came back to her senses, looked at Zhu'er's busy figure, and asked softly: "Is everything packed?"

Zhu'er stopped and looked at her complainingly, "Miss, do we really want to move to that place?"

Qi Lanqiu did not answer, but stood up and expressed her determination with actions, "If you have packed up, then let's go!"

She took the lead to walk out of her and Feng Jingtian's new house and walked to the west side of the mansion.

Seeing this, Zhu'er could only mutter and curse secretly, quickly picked up the bag containing clothes, and followed his master's footsteps.

Feng Jingtian divorced her. Although he promised to let her stay, he could never let her stay in his room, so he drove her to the "Guanyue Pavilion", a small courtyard next to the servant's room on the west side of the house.

Guanyue Pavilion was originally the courtyard where the nanny of Feng Jingtian and his sister Feng Shuying lived. After the old nanny returned to her hometown, the place had been empty and uninhabited, so he made this place her residence for the next year.

No one knew about Feng Jingtian's divorce from his wife. It was conceivable that the day after the wedding, when the master and servant Guan Lanqiu came to Guanyue Pavilion with luggage of all sizes, they would attract many servants' sideways glances. Those suspicious and probing eyes were like thorns on their backs.

"Isn't that my new wife? Why did she come here on the day after the wedding?"

"Look at the maid behind her still carrying a baggage. Could it be that she did something unbecoming of a woman and was kicked out by me?"

"Unethical? I only got married for one night, could it be possible..."

Listening to everyone's pointing fingers, Zhu'er was not as calm as Guan Lanqiu. She shouted angrily, "Miss, that hateful man clearly deliberately embarrassed you!"

The Feng Mansion is so big, but the hateful Feng Jingtian lets them live next to the servants' room. There are at least a hundred servants in the manor. No matter how careful they are in and out, they can't avoid everyone's eyes and ears. He clearly wants to humiliate the young lady on purpose.
