On the morning of the tenth day of the fifth month, in the capital of Laifeng State, at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qingxin Courtyard.

Inside Yuwen Tianqi's room, Yansheng held a thick stack of invitations in his hands and reported to him seriously, "Master, the Duke's Mansion will hold a poetry gathering in two days, and they've sent an invitation. The Ning Wang Mansion also invites you to attend a lotus viewing banquet at the East City Courtyard on the 13th of this month. And the Taifu Mansion..."

"Okay, okay, they've all been pushed away, they've all been pushed away..." Before Yansheng could finish his words, Yuwen Tianqi interrupted him impatiently with a wave of his hand.

Yesterday, Yuwen Tianqi was shocked to learn that the emperor had issued an order to grant a marriage between Situ Wanqing and Ye Liangchen. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Only a day had passed, and the nobles in the capital couldn't wait to invite him to various events, clearly wanting to embarrass him and make him laugh. Yuwen Tianqi thought so, and naturally he couldn't be fooled.

Therefore, for the next half month, Yuwen Tianqi no longer appeared in various social occasions as frequently as before, but stayed in the backyard of the prime minister's residence all day, rarely going out, and refusing all visitors.

Time passed to May 26th. The sun was shining brightly that morning, but Yuwen Tianqi still felt listless. He sat in his room, looking at the pile of invitations to go out and play on his desk, and a wave of annoyance welled up in his heart.

Situ Ye, who had returned home with his two children, saw that his father was still in a sullen state. He immediately advised, "Dad, why are you doing this? If you want to go out and play, just go out! Why do you have to confine yourself to the house every day?"

Yuwen Tianqi glanced at Situ Ye with resentment, and then said quietly, "Your sister chose to marry a commoner with a child instead of a well-matched nobleman from the capital. If I really go out to play, who knows how those noblemen will laugh at me in front of my face! Your father, humph, can't afford to lose face!"

Hearing this, Situ Ye felt both distressed and amused. He shook his head and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Dad, if this is the reason, then you can rest assured. No one will dare to gossip about you in front of you."

Yuwen Tianqi was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "Ye'er, you are not lying to me, are you? If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity to say a few words when I saw such a funny joke..."

Situ Ye held his forehead helplessly, secretly admiring his father's naiveté and cuteness. He could only patiently explain, "Dad, don't forget, this was the Emperor's decree granting this marriage in the Golden Palace in front of all the civil and military officials. How many heads do those noblemen have to chop off for daring to mock and question the Emperor's decision? Are they desperate? Even if they were, their wives, who are officials, would not allow these men in the backyard to gossip about them for the sake of their own futures."

Hearing this, Yuwen Tianqi's eyes lit up slightly, "Ye'er, you make sense!"

Immediately afterwards, Situ Ye took his children and Yuwen Tianqi to the Taifu Mansion to attend the Qionghua Banquet.

During the tour, the nobles were extremely respectful to Situ Ye and Yuwen Tianqi, which made Yuwen Tianqi, who had been as wilted as an eggplant, come alive again.

So, in the following period of time, Yuwen Tianqi's figure reappeared in various activities of the nobles in the capital.

As Situ Ye said, no one said anything bad in front of him, and those people even seemed to be more respectful to him than before. This discovery made Yuwen Tianqi regain his confidence, and he even took the initiative to invite the nobles in the capital to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the end of May, Situ Wanqing returned to Yuheng County and took Lianxing and Ye Linger on a carriage back to the capital.

In the carriage, Lian Xing looked uneasy. He asked nervously, "Wan Qing, does your father... really not mind Liang Chen's passing? Will he accept Ling Er?"

Seeing this, Situ Wanqing quickly held Lianxing's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, nothing you worry about will happen. And as the saying goes, 'An ugly husband must meet his mother-in-law and father-in-law,' besides, you're not ugly, and you have a very good personality. Mother and father will definitely like you in the future."

After hearing Situ Wanqing's words, Lian Xing's cheeks turned slightly red and she looked shy.

As for Ye Ling'er, she would open the car window from time to time and look back, looking at the houses and streets that were getting farther and farther away, her big black eyes filled with curiosity.

Three days later, on the morning of the second day of June, Situ Wanqing and his party arrived in the capital.

The wedding date was set for the sixth day of June. Lian Xing and Ye Ling'er were temporarily placed in Situ Ye's villa in the city.

On the third day of June, Lian Xing took Ye Ling'er to the General's Mansion.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, they saw General Feng, Mr. Mu, Feng Lingyan, Feng Cailan, Yu Jingyang, Feng Qiyan, and Feng Qining welcoming them at the gate.

Lian Xing was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly took Ye Ling'er and prepared to bow to everyone, but Yu Jingyang held him back, "We are all family, no need to be so polite."

"Mr. Yu, I..." Lian Xing lowered her eyes slightly, feeling ashamed to see Yu Jingyang.

Yu Jingyang smiled slightly and said with relief: "Liangchen, the past is over, and besides, you are not wrong in this matter."

Then, Yu Jingyang opened the middle door of the General's Mansion and brought Lianxing and his daughter to the Qingrong Courtyard of General Feng and Mr. Mu.

In order to prevent Lianxing and her daughter from feeling awkward, Yu Jingyang chose the garden pavilion as the meeting place.

"Ling'er, this is your grandmother, this is your grandfather, this is your uncle, and that is your biological father." Feng Cailan led Ye Ling'er to recognize her relatives one by one, and Ye Ling'er also obediently called everyone one by one.
