Song Yanqing had a plan in mind: "I have already submitted a memorial to His Majesty, and we should have news in the next two days."

...

On the day of Chen Siyi's wedding, red silk was hung in the Lin'an Marquis's mansion.

Although the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, everyone in the Lin'an Marquis's household understood why it was done so hastily.

Everyone with eyes could see the reason, but because it was a royal matter, no one dared to say anything, and the banquet was conducted in a very open and transparent manner.

Early in the morning, Lu Qiqi was dragged by Lu Yao to Chen Siyi's courtyard, with Lu Yao clamoring that she wanted to see the bride.

Wealthy families have a custom of giving gifts to their children. Xuan Wenying gave a headdress, while Chen Siqi gave a jade bracelet.

Lu Yao presented him with an exquisite jade hairpin.

While everyone was leaving the house, Lu Qiqi walked up behind Chen Siyi, looked at her in the bronze mirror, and her eyes were full of expectation.

She whispered, "Now that you have obtained what you wanted, you should understand that from now on, the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion will no longer protect you."

Will you regret it?

Chen Siyi knew that she was able to get married smoothly thanks to Lu Qiqi not revealing what happened behind the artificial hill.

That alone was enough for her to set aside her hostility and answer her calmly.

"Of course not."

Lu Qiqi was not surprised at all by her answer.

She handed a brocade box to Chen Siyi, saying, "You married into the royal family because of your status as a royal heir, so there are many people eyeing your unborn child."

There's a pill in the brocade box that can cure most common poisons; it might be of some use to you.

She noticed the confusion in Chen Siyi's eyes and said, "I don't have much of a relationship with you, but I don't want my second uncle to lose a daughter like this."

After saying that, Lu Qiqi put down the brocade box and walked straight outside.

Chen Siyi took the brocade box and stared at it for a long time.

When she looked up again in the direction Lu Qiqi had left, a hint of unreadable emotion flashed in her eyes.
