Qi Yuning did not mention it anymore. He vaguely saw that there were mottled red marks on Shen Nian's exposed neck. Qi Yuning thought he was seeing things, but when he looked closely, he found that he was not seeing things.
Qi Yuning was slightly shocked, but didn't show it on his face.
After Shen Nian left, Lu Ze saw that Qi Yuning looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I just think that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I didn't expect that Shen Nian looked so dignified and polite on the surface...but in private..."
Qi Yuning thought about it carefully and couldn't say that there was anything wrong with Chen Nian. Her husband had been dead for more than a year, so there was nothing wrong with her finding another man to have sex with.
However, she didn't want to be Qian Yun's matchmaker anymore.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze, "Let's call off the marriage between Qian Yun and Chen Nian."
Lu Ze said, "It just so happens that I came here to tell you this. Qian Yun feels that he is not worthy of marrying into the Shen family, a family of great stature. Even though she is an adopted daughter, Shen Nian is still a member of the Shen family genealogy, and she is not someone he can easily marry."
Qi Yuning said, "I'm destined to not get the matchmaker's money. By the way, can you wash my hair tomorrow? It's already the 20th day, and it's really uncomfortable. If I don't wash my hair, all my hair will fall out."
Lu Ze said, "Didn't the imperial physician say that it's just hair loss after giving birth, and it will grow back in the future?"
Qi Yuning said: "But I just want to wash my hair, Brother Ze, please."
Qi Yuning rarely acted like a spoiled brat, and even less so in front of Lu Ze. Hearing her coquettish voice, Lu Ze coughed uncontrollably for a moment and said, "Okay, if it's sunny tomorrow, I'll wash your hair."
Qi Yuning finally waited for the sunny day.
The reason why Lu Ze agreed to wash Qi Yuning's hair was that he sent away all the other maids and servants. Only Qi Yuning's four trusted maids were left in the whole courtyard, making mugwort and ginger soup.
Lu Ze ordered the secret guards to guard the gate. As he washed Qi Yuning's hair, he said, "If my mother finds out, I'll definitely be blamed."
The moment Qi Yuning's scalp touched the water, she felt like she was coming back to life. Lu Ze changed many towels for Qi Yuning to dry her long hair. He changed towels one after another and found many heaters, for fear that Qi Yuning would catch a cold.
After washing her hair, Qi Yuning felt refreshed holding Lingling. Little Lingling, who was already twenty days old, was growing cuter and cuter.
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning, "Mother, please don't hold Lingling's full moon banquet because of her concern. When the time comes to celebrate the end of the national mourning period, we will directly hold a grand hundred-day banquet."
Qi Yuning asked, "When you go abroad to pay your respects, Lingling must have passed her 100th day, right?"
"It's only a few days away, so it's a good time to have a wedding banquet. It will also be convenient for relatives to come over for a drink during the New Year."
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and said, "Alright, we can just celebrate the full moon banquet with our family, and then we can have a grand celebration for the hundred-day banquet, with lots of fun."
