With her wedding day approaching, her fiancé, Lu Yun, preferred to shave his head and become a monk rather than marry Qi Yuning. Princess Qi instantly became the laughingstock of Shengjing.
...
"No!" Ning Wen stepped forward and said with tears in her eyes, "Yuan, no!"
Qi Yu'an saw Qi Yuning helping Ning Wen into the house and said, "Mrs. Shen San, you are no longer a member of the Qi family. The Qi family shouldn't have kept your name on the record, but we haven't touched the family tree before."
Ning Wen shook her head and pleaded, "Yuan..."
Zhao Shu heard Ning Wen's choked voice, shook Qi Yu'an's hand, looked up at Qi Yu'an and said, "Just leave a name."
Qi Yu'an said: "Then keep it."
Ning Wen looked at the tablets of the Qi family in the ancestral hall, took the incense brought by the maid, and knelt down to burn incense in front of the tablets.
Qi Yuning saw Ning Wen take out a silk handkerchief to wipe the tablet for Fourth Uncle, and thought how great it would be if Fourth Uncle was still alive. Now everything Chen Qian has belongs to Fourth Uncle.
Ning Wen hugged the tablet and cried bitterly: "It's been fourteen years... more than fourteen years. Do you know how much I missed you..."
Ning Wen couldn't help crying, "If I had gone with you at that time, now we would both be reincarnated, wouldn't we soon be husband and wife..."
Qi Yuning saw Ning Wen's painful and sad appearance, and then saw Shen Qian at the door of the ancestral hall, clenching his hands and frowning, as if he was restraining his anger, which then turned into a self-deprecating smile. He just held Shen Yuqi's hand and left the Qi family's ancestral hall.
Ning Wen cried for a long time before she calmed down. After putting the tablet away, she reluctantly left the Qi family ancestral hall.
Qi Yuning looked at Ning Wen's back and sighed softly.
The Qi family doesn't host large banquets in the evening; only close relatives dine together.
Except for Mrs. Lu, all the members of the Lu family came, and the Zhong family also came.
This was the first time that Zhong Xin and Mr. Lu met each other today. Naturally, they were very polite when it came to marrying their children to each other. After chatting, they seemed to hit it off right away.
During dinner, the two decided that Zhong Ming and Lu Baohua's wedding would be on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Hearing this, Lu Baozhu didn't hesitate to sigh and said, "Second Uncle, General Zhong, can you please consider me when you're setting the wedding date? With only one month left, where can I find a husband to get engaged? Can't the wedding be set later?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Pingrou stepped on Lu Baozhu and said, "How dare you say that! You yourself are not in a hurry to get engaged, and you want to delay your sisters' marriages? The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day, so it would be better to get married on that day."
Duke Lu smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I have chosen a good husband for Baozhu."
Princess Pingrou asked, "Who?"
"Shen Jialin, the eldest son of the Lingzhou Shen family."
Lu Ze just took a sip of wine and choked on it. He coughed several times and said, "Cough."
Qi Yuning handed Lu Ze a handkerchief and said, "Be careful."
