Scheme of the Official Descendant

Although Ren Yaoqi broke away from the fetters of her family in her previous lifetime, as she erroneously believed in her blood-relatives’ speech and views about sacrificing everything for the family’...

Chapter 411: Decision-making (3/3)

When Xiao Jingxi mentioned Yun Wenfang's marriage, Yun Wenting was surprised but also felt it made sense. As for now, he mentioned Yun Qiuchen again...

Yun Wenting then recalled the Yun family's plans after the death of Crown Prince Xiao Jingkang. However, the Yun family's elders had only considered this matter. Before they could even test the waters, news broke of Xiao Jingxi's proposal to marry Ren Yaoqi. Because of the involvement of the Yanbei Palace and the Hezhong King, the Yun family hesitated to act rashly...

Xiao Jingxi is not a person who aims at a target...

Yun Wenting thought that the Yun family might need to be reorganized.

If you don't make a decision, you will suffer...

When Yun Wenting returned from Xiao Jingxi's place, his brows were furrowed all the way.

Yun Wenfang was seriously injured this time. Although his life was in danger, he had been in and out of consciousness from time to time since he was sent back. The doctor's words that he needed to recuperate for half a year seemed to be no exaggeration.

While Yun Wenfang was injured and bedridden, Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi's marriage also began to proceed.

Because it was an extraordinary period, this marriage was handled very quickly from acceptance to appointment of a date by the officials in charge of etiquette in the Yanbei Palace. However, the whole process was tight but not busy. The Yanbei Palace had its own set of rules and regulations for marriages, and following the prescribed procedures was quite convenient.

Despite this, in terms of etiquette, there is nothing wrong with the Yanbei Palace. Some details also make people feel the importance the Yanbei Palace attaches to this marriage.

For example, in addition to complying with palace regulations for the betrothal gifts, the princess also personally selected some fine items from her own personal property and dowry and sent them to the Ren family. It was said that the pair of live geese used as the betrothal gift were hunted by Second Young Master Xiao himself, though this claim was generally accepted.

Who doesn't know that the Second Young Master Xiao usually gets out of breath even when walking? And he even hunts wild geese himself?

In response to this, everyone in the world said: "Ha ha ha..."

Finally, a few days before the birthday banquet of the old princess at the Yanbei Palace, the wedding date of Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi was officially set for March of the following year.

Although the schedule was a bit tight, fortunately, Li had already made some provisions for Ren Yaoqi when she was preparing Ren Yaohua's dowry, so she wouldn't be caught off guard when the time came. However, the Yanbei Palace wasn't an ordinary family, so some things needed to be supplemented on the spur of the moment.

Fortunately, Ren Shimao, the fifth master of the Ren family, had become quite successful after establishing his own business. Besides anything else, it was perfectly reasonable to turn to him for things that were difficult for others to obtain. Ren Shimao and Ren Shimin had a close relationship, so helping his niece with her dowry was a natural obligation. Furthermore, Ren Shijia's husband had also offered to help, so even though the wedding was only four or five months away, the Ren family didn't feel any pressure.

When the Ren family began to prepare Ren Yaoqi's dowry, the birthday of the old princess of Yanbei Palace also arrived.

Because the Crown Prince passed away, the old princess' birthday could not be celebrated in a grand manner, so everyone was only paying attention to what kind of changes the court's visit would bring about under the guise of the old princess' birthday.
