At the very least, a month passed between the time their two mothers agreed to have the couple engaged and the time when Prince Jin publicly broke up at the palace banquet.
This kind of fate is indeed earlier than Long Chi'an.
When Long Chi'an heard this, he could no longer maintain his gentle expression.
He thought the two families were going to discuss divorce, but he never expected to hear the origin of Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing's relationship.
His hands rested on his knees, slightly clenched into fists.
Suddenly, Wan Niang spoke: "Fu Ning and Ci Yi are truly destined to be together."
"I took Ci Yi and fled the capital and went to Ling County, Jinzhou. From then on, we settled down in the Fu family and became a member of the Fu family."
"One day, my father saw a little girl crying beautifully on the street. He came back happy and told me and my mother that he wanted to give that girl to our son, Ci Yi, as his wife."
"Later, even though the engagement was called off, Ci Yi's bride was still Fu Ning. You say that after all these twists and turns, they were still together. What kind of fate is that?"
Hearing this, Yan Cheng and Hong Qingyi nodded in succession.
You Yan Cheng said, "Mother-in-law, I also accept Ci Yi as my son-in-law. Don't worry, our Yan family is not unreasonable. It is indeed not easy for a young couple to be together. As parents, we can only support them and must not become an obstacle to their relationship, let alone do anything to cause trouble."
"My father-in-law is right," Wan Niang nodded. "It's a blessing for Ci Yi to have such good parents-in-law like you."
"Mom and Dad, Aunt Fu, let me say something." Yan Xinghe said.
The three elders all turned their gazes towards him. Even though Wan Niang couldn't see, her eyes were still fixed on the direction where the voice came from.
Yan Xinghe smiled and said, "Although my sister was sold away as a baby, and my aunt and brother-in-law had to flee, these are both sad events, but the fact that my sister and brother-in-law met each other from the capital to Jinzhou is truly a deep bond. My brother-in-law and I were rivals in the imperial examinations. Now that I know they have this experience, I sincerely wish them happiness in the future."
"Second Young Master said it well." Wan Niang smiled.
Seeing them talking so harmoniously and knowing clearly the fate between Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing since childhood, Long Chi'an's expression could no longer be suppressed and became gloomy.
What I thought was a marriage contract turned out to be a failure in terms of sequence.
He immediately said: "I remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
"Okay then, take care on your journey, Chi'an." Yan Cheng didn't bother to keep him.
Long Chi'an nodded, strode out of the flower hall, and met Yan Bojian head-on.
"Chi An, why did you leave? Why didn't you eat hot pot at my house?"
"No."
Long Chi'an kept walking and walked quickly with the support of Ying Wu.
Seeing Yan Bojian was confused, he grumbled to his family, "Whenever we had hotpot at home, he would always come, all because the seasoning prepared by the eldest princess herself wasn't tasty."
Yan Xinghe glanced at him and said, "Even if you force him to stay today, he won't stay."
"Why?" Yan Bojian sat down and pinched Yuan Lang's face. "Brother Lang, what's going on?"
"I heard that my uncle and aunt have a very deep bond, so Prince Chi is unhappy."
"You little rascal." Yan Bojian smiled and hugged the little guy on his lap.
Hong Qingyi said, "Bojian, come and meet the elders."
Then he pointed at Wan Niang.
Yan Bojian nodded and called out, "Auntie."
"She's your Aunt Wan." Hong Qingyi smiled. "Do you still remember her?"
"How could I remember?" Yan Bojian exclaimed, "It's what Mother often mentioned. When I was one or two years old, you guys met secretly and you always liked to hug my Aunt Wan?"
"Yeah." Hong Qingyi and Wanniang explained, "At that time, the relationship between our two families was getting worse and worse, but you and I still saw each other, although less often. I always carried Bo Jian with me when I went out. Even this kid is already this big now."
"It's a pity that I can't remember it, and I can't see it either." Wan Niang raised her hand, "Child, let me touch it."
Yan Bojian quickly put Yuanlang on the ground, walked to Wanniang, bent down, and let her touch his face.
Soon Wan Niang laughed out loud: "He is so handsome."
"Thank you, Aunt Wan!" Yan Bojian said with a smile, "I look even more handsome when I wear armor."
"You're so conceited." A crisp voice came from the entrance of the flower hall. It was Yan Yingying. "You silly boy, you still haven't realized who Aunt Wan is?"
"Aunt is my brother-in-law's mother, and Aunt Wan is my mother's good friend..." Yan Bojian murmured, "Aunt is Aunt Wan, what's going on? Who of you can explain it?"
"The third brother got his head frozen in the military camp." Yan Xinghe seized the opportunity to retort, "Our brother-in-law's original name was Long Wenyu, and Aunt Wan was the Princess of Jin."
"No way, such a big deal!" Yan Bojian shouted, "The Yan family and the Prince of Jin's Mansion, this..."
"Let's not talk about my past identity." Wan Niang waved her hand and stood up. "Now that things have come out, it's time for me to go back."
Blind people have difficulty moving around, so we shouldn't keep them around to cause trouble for others.
As long as her son and daughter-in-law are doing well, she will be content.
Hong Qingyi held her back and said, "The kids want to eat hot pot. Your daughter-in-law is going to make the seasoning herself. Don't you want to try her cooking?"
Wan Niang was startled and said with a smile, "Then I'll stay?"
Yan Funing had been thinking about the complicated fate between her and Fu Ciyi, when suddenly a gaze came over to her. It was from her mother.
I heard her say, "Go to the kitchen quickly."
"Yes, mother." Yan Funing stood up and smiled playfully, "As long as my mother is in a good mood to meet her good friend, I like to be ordered around by her."
"Look at this mouth." Hong Qingyi shook her head.
"This is what a daughter of our Yan family should be like." Yan Yingying sat down and called Wan Niang, "Auntie Wan."
Wan Niang nodded in agreement.
There was constant laughter in the flower hall.
Yan Funing spoke a few more words to her family, then walked out of the flower hall, and Fu Ciyi followed her out.
"Aunt, uncle."
Yuanlang also wanted to follow, but Yan Yingying grabbed his collar.
"You kid, your aunt and uncle have a lot to say, why are you going with them?"
"Well, I'm willing to give the chance to speak to my uncle."
Yuen Long smacked his lips and took a piece of dessert to eat.
Outside the Yan family mansion, the Shi family's carriage slowly drove away.
It's not that they don't want to go faster, it's just that the snow has melted and it's difficult to travel.
In the carriage, Long Chi'an kept coughing.
"Your Highness." Ying Wu helped him calm down. "Things have already happened. Please look at it calmly."
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Long Chi'an couldn't stop coughing, and his handsome face turned red from coughing.
With a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ying Wu was horrified: "No matter how much the prince coughed in the past, he never coughed up blood, but now..."
Ying Qi, who was driving outside, asked, "Should we turn around and go back to the Duke's Mansion? Could Miss Yan Er help us?"
"No." Long Chi'an waved his hand weakly, "Go back to the mansion and invite Elder Ding."
He didn't want to see her being intimate with Fu Ciyi, it hurt his eyes.
At this moment, my heart and lungs ached.
It was as if countless knives were cutting into his heart and lungs, and the wind blowing across the ice surface blew into the wounds in his heart and lungs, causing more pain than salt.
