The closer the divorce date gets, the calmer Qi Yuning becomes and no longer afraid of any trouble.

Maybe it was because this was the third time she was preparing for the wedding, and she was already very familiar with the rules of getting married. Even the wedding banquet this time had the help of Qi Yu'an and Zhao Shu, so Qi Yuning didn't have to do anything in the three days before the wedding.

The autumn rain continued at the end of October, which was not a good weather.

It was a rainy day on the day of Qi Pa's wedding, so a bamboo shed was set up in the palace to shelter from the rain and hold the wedding banquet.

It's raining outside and very cold.

Qi Yuning was applying nail polish in the warm room. The bright red nail polish was applied on her slender fingers. Lingling saw it from the side and looked at her with her delicate eyes.

Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and smiled softly, "Do you want to apply it?"

Lingling nodded.

Qi Yuning smiled and painted two of Lingling's fingers. "Lingling, there will be many guests coming on the day of Daddy and Mommy's wedding. You should stay with Second Aunt the whole time, okay?"

Lingling hugged Qi Yuning and said, "Lingling wants to be with mother."

Qi Yuning patted Lingling's head and said, "Be good."

Lingling hugged Qi Yuning tightly and said, "Lingling wants to see the beautiful mother that day and to accompany her on her wedding day."

Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Okay."

Although she was married to the princess's mansion next door, which was only a few steps away from her home, and could be reached in a quarter of an hour if she walked fast, or in two quarters of an hour if she walked slowly, it was difficult for her to return to her boudoir after all.

The closer you marry, the harder it is to come back.

Qi Yuning looked at his Chunjiang Courtyard, feeling reluctant to leave.

Obviously, she didn't like this palace before. It was empty and she was the only master there. But she was reluctant to leave.

If she gets married, this will really be an empty house.

Once her marriage to Zhong Ming is settled, Qi Yu'an and Zhao Shu will have to go back to North City. The Prince Qi's Mansion will probably become an empty shell. Qi Yuning felt lost and reluctant when she thought about it.

After dinner.

Seeing Qi Yuning's frustrated expression, Zhao Shu asked, "Yuning, the wedding is approaching, why do you seem unhappy?"

Qi Yu'an also noticed Qi Yuning's melancholy and said, "What's wrong? It's not too late to not get married now. The Lu family broke off the engagement once. Even if our Qi family breaks off the engagement this time, they don't have the courage to say anything bad about our Qi family."

Qi Yuning looked around the room and said, "It's not that I don't want to get married, but I feel that after I get married, our palace will be completely without a master, and it will become completely empty."

Qi Yuning said, "Although there is only one wall between us, it separates two families."

Qi Yu'an said: "Sister, even if you get married, you are still the daughter of our Qi family. You can come back every day..."

Zhao Shu also nodded and said, "Yes, this is your home, just across the wall. You can bring Lingling back to live in the palace more often. After you get married, have more children. Then the palace will be bustling."

Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yeah."

Qi Yu'an said, "Sister, you have been the one who has been managing the Qi family's business. As for the dowry, when you said you wanted to marry Lu Yun, I told you that you could get half of it.

It's the same this time. You understand the accounts. This ancestral house should be left to me, and the rest you can split in half. You will still have to help manage my share."

Qi Yuning said, "Brother, it's too much."

Qi Yu'an smiled faintly and said, "Why do we have to talk so much as siblings? If you give a richer dowry, you won't be looked down upon if you marry into the Lu family."

Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Who in the Lu family dares to look down on me? The only one who looks down on me is a dying man. Even if I don't bring any dowry, they can't look down on me."

Zhao Shuyan said, "Yuning, don't refuse anymore. The dowry is what you deserve. Even if you get married, we are still family. There is no need to argue."

Qi Yu'an said to Qi Yuning: "Your sister-in-law is right. You will only have one more home after getting married. This place will always be your home."

Qi Yuning pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Yeah."

Qi Yu'an said, "If Lu Ze dares to let you suffer any injustice, don't bear it. The daughters of our Qi family are no less than those of their Lu family! If Lu Baozhu still wants you to serve her sister-in-law as her sister-in-law, you don't have to care. The daughters raised by the Qi family are not meant to be her nannies."

Qi Yu'an was quite worried as he spoke. "Your sister-in-law and I plan to go to North City after the New Year, and we'll come back every New Year from now on. If you've been wronged, please write to me. Don't only report good news and not bad news. Although North City is far away, you can always get back to Shengjing City. You're not a helpless person."

Qi Yuning listened with tears in her eyes.

Although she knew that she married Lu Ze willingly and should be happy, she still couldn't bear the sadness.

…

In the Lu family, Lu Ze finally had some free time and took a five-day wedding leave.

The reason why he took a day off before the wedding was because Lu Ze had to worship his ancestors, inform the ancestors of the Lu family that he was getting married, and also decorate the bridal chamber.

When the big red wedding candles were placed in the room, Lu Ze missed Qi Yuning very much.

Due to the rule that they could not meet before marriage, the two of them never met again after Qi Yuning came to visit Lu Yun that day. Even when Lingling occasionally missed him, Qi Yuning would ask the maid to send Lingling over, and she would not come herself.

Lu Baozhu happily helped Princess Pingrou paste wedding characters in Lu Ze's room.

Lu Baozhu said to Lu Ze, "Well, I'm your matchmaker. You should really thank me for being together."

Lu Ze said, "What kind of matchmaker are you? Lingling should be the one to be the matchmaker."
