Zheng Qingchun said awkwardly, "Third Uncle, look at you, what are you talking about?"

Third Uncle said, “I am not only your elder, but also the elder of Marquis Pingxi. Don’t think that I don’t know about your little schemes with that shady stepmother. Zheng Qingchun, I just think that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As elders, we have already done our duty by creating this family business for you. Do whatever you want with it, it’s your own business.”

When Zheng Qingchun heard his third uncle pointing out his shortcomings, he quickly said, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, look at you, what are you talking about? Third Uncle, this matter needs to be discussed more carefully."

The third great-uncle took the family genealogy book and went to a table on the side of the ancestral hall to get a pen and ink to write Xu Zhi's name. Zheng Qingchun quickly gave a signal to the people he had brought with him. Some people helped the third great-uncle, while others snatched the genealogy book from his hands. The scene became a little chaotic for a moment.

Third Uncle was being supported on either side of someone, standing in the ancestral hall, unable to move. His face was pale with anger as he said, "Zheng Qingchun, what are you trying to do?"

Zheng Qingchun looked troubled and said, "Third Uncle, this matter is really against the rules."

Third Uncle said, "Stop your hypocritical act. I am the clan elder. Why should you stop me?"

Zheng Qingchun said, "Third Uncle, you can scold me however you want, but the rules of this clan must not be broken. If these rules are broken, it will be really difficult to deal with any problems that arise in the future."

The third uncle was panting heavily, his finger trembling as he pointed at Zheng Qingchun. Zheng Qingchun glanced at the third uncle with some contempt, and was about to order someone to put away the family genealogy and lock the ancestral hall when he heard someone say at the entrance of the ancestral hall: "The Zheng family of Pingxi Marquis has quite the grandeur."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qingchun's face darkened. He looked towards the entrance and saw a solemn-looking, upright old woman standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, speaking to the people inside.

Zheng Qingchun said, "Whose servant are you? Where is there any rule that a servant should speak before the master has even spoken?"

The speaker was none other than Granny Lu. Granny Lu stepped into the ancestral hall, looked around, and said, "Our Yongning Marquis's Mansion has always felt that our mansion is grand and proper. Compared to your Pingxi Marquis's Mansion, it is really not worth looking at. Since your Zheng clan looks down on our Yongning Marquis's daughter so much, we might as well go back to the capital and report to the old lady and the Marquis of the mansion. Let's just call off this marriage."

Upon hearing what Granny Lu said, the third great-uncle took advantage of the moment when the person supporting him loosened their grip and quickly broke free, saying, "Granny, you flatter me. Now that your daughter has married into our household, she is naturally one of us. These are just some family matters, why should your old lady and the Marquis have to worry about them?"

Upon hearing what Granny Lu said, Zheng Qingchun finally realized that Zheng Boyuan's wife came from the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

Zheng Qingchun was not an ignorant country bumpkin. On the contrary, he was someone who paid close attention to the situation in the capital. He knew a lot about the position of the Marquis of Pingxi in the capital. He had studied all the four dukes and eight marquises in the capital, so he naturally knew that although the Marquis of Yongning's mansion did not have any capable people in the court at present, he had heard that the third master of the mansion was favored by the emperor. Moreover, the Marquis of Yongning was someone who had gone to the battlefield with his elders in the past. Now, during festivals, the emperor would still send rewards to the Marquis of Yongning's mansion.

Seeing the hesitant look on Zheng Qingchun's face, Granny Lu gave Third Uncle a wink. Third Uncle naturally understood what she meant. Looking at the entrance of the ancestral hall, besides those from the clan who had come to watch the excitement, there was also his younger brother, Fifth Brother Zheng Ling.

Third Uncle said, "Fifth Brother, come here, let's write down Yuan's daughter-in-law's name together."

Zheng Ling agreed and came in from outside the ancestral hall. It is said that one should strike while the iron is hot, but then the momentum will wane and eventually be exhausted. Even if Zheng Qingchun wanted to use any more tricks, he had already missed his best opportunity.

Not only did Granny Lu know this, but even Third Uncle knew it. Xu Zhi's purpose in coming here was to have her name written in the family genealogy. After marriage, if her name was not written in the genealogy, it would always be a hidden danger. To put it bluntly, if something happened, the marriage would be null and void if her name was not in the genealogy.

Seeing the name written down, the third uncle put the genealogy book away, put his hands behind his back, and was about to walk out when he saw Zheng Qingchun standing at the door. He flicked his sleeve at Zheng Qingchun, snorted coldly, and then left the ancestral hall.

Xu Zhi naturally followed behind her third uncle, and the group returned to her third uncle's house under the watchful eyes of many members of the Zheng clan.

Looking at the time, Granny Lu said to Xu Zhi, "Miss, let's go now and rest at an inn in Anping County for the night. We'll set off early tomorrow."

Xu Zhi agreed and arranged for people to prepare the carriages and horses. Her third uncle and Wang Shi repeatedly asked Xu Zhi and Zheng Yuanyuan to stay for one night, but Xu Zhi firmly declined. Her third uncle and fifth uncle, along with their families, escorted Xu Zhi and Zheng Yuanyuan all the way to the entrance of the town.
