Xu Ruyun looked at Qiuqiu and said, "Qiuqiu, now that the formalities are complete, let's go! From now on, the Qi family has nothing to do with us!"
After saying that, Valen Hsu left with Chiu Chiu.
When they arrived at the backyard, Qiuqiu's older brothers were still chatting and laughing.
Qi Junzhou looked utterly dejected and said to them, "Stop eating! Let's go! Our parents are divorced! We've been removed from the family genealogy!"
The eldest and second eldest brothers threw the sunflower seed shells on the ground and said, "Great! Divorce is good! Let's go!"
Qi Junlin got up briskly, intending to get out of bed and leave the Qi family, but was stopped by Xu Ruyun with a look.
He quickly coughed twice and said, "With my disabled body, I'm afraid I'll need a stretcher to carry me around."
Xu Ruyun: "Someone! Find a stretcher, a sedan chair, and a few strong servants. Also, move all my dowry away!"
Little Deer: "Yes!"
In front of everyone, Qi Junlin was carried out of the Qi family home on a stretcher.
Qi Junxian ran out of the Qi family in a daze.
Xu Ruyun held the young Qiuqiu in her arms, followed by Qi Junzhou.
To outsiders, the four of them looked extremely miserable.
How will this family structure manage to live their lives in the future?
Xu Ruyun, however, was secretly delighted: she was finally leaving the Qi family! She felt a sense of freedom in the air.
After Xu Ruyun left the Qi family with her four children, Grand Tutor Chen eagerly followed after them.
"Yun'er, Yun'er—"
Xu Ruyun looked at Chen Taifu, who was sweating profusely from running, and asked, "Why is Chen Taifu in such a hurry to see me?"
Grand Tutor Chen: "Yun'er, where are you going with four children? Why don't you stay at my residence?"
Xu Ruyun: "Thank you, Grand Tutor Chen! We've found a place to stay! Oh, and thank you for today!"
Grand Tutor Chen scratched his head sheepishly and said, "What are you thanking me for? I don't understand. Yun'er, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. Also, don't be so polite, just call me Jiahang, or Ahang."
Xu Ruyun smiled and said, "Okay!"
[Grand Tutor Chen is a very good person! In his original destiny, he remained unmarried for his mother's sake. After her death, he ruined his promising future to avenge her. Alas! His mother was completely oblivious, only seeing how good his father was to her. She couldn't see the sacrifices others made for her!]
After hearing this, Xu Ruyun could no longer laugh.
She hurriedly said goodbye to Grand Tutor Chen and then got into the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Chen was so infatuated with her.
However, she felt that Chen Taifu was always haunting her, and she was neither warm nor cold towards him.
If it weren't for Chen Jiating, the person she would probably have married would have been Grand Tutor Chen.
At that time, Chen Taifu was also one of her many suitors, but she only saw Chen Jiating. She blamed herself for being blind.
In this life, she can no longer be indifferent to Grand Tutor Chen; she must treat him well.
Xu Ruyun thought to herself, and quietly wiped away a tear that had inadvertently rolled down her cheek.
After the guests left the Qi residence, the people Xu Ruyun had summoned began to carry her dowry.
Everything valuable in the Qi mansion belonged to her.
She had her men carry away the rosewood tables and chairs, the precious porcelain, and the jade items.
Xiao Zhenzhen pointed at the people and yelled, "What are you doing? Robbing people in broad daylight! I'm reporting you to the authorities!"
The servant said, "The First-Rank Lady said this is all her dowry and that we should take it away. She also said that if you want to report this to the authorities, that's fine; it'll be a good opportunity for the government to settle your messy affairs in broad daylight!"
Xiao Zhenzhen stomped her feet in anger.
Jinlan and her brother were not affected by these things. They were very happy to finally be the masters of the Qi family today and were playing happily in the courtyard.
In the yard, there are many of Chuchu's toys, such as a rocking horse and a swing, which are all things Jinlan likes.
Jinlan was happily swinging on the swing when a servant came and said, "This belongs to Miss Qiuqiu. Take it away! If you can't take it, destroy it!"
As a result, everything that could be moved from the Qi residence and its courtyard was moved away, and everything that could not be moved was destroyed.
Jinlan and her brother's interest vanished instantly.
Just then, a servant from the Qi household hurriedly reported, "Someone from the palace has arrived and wants Miss to go there immediately!"
Xiao Zhenzhen, who was still in a fit of anger, suddenly felt as if she had been blessed with good fortune and quickly hugged Jinlan.
"Alright! Go back and tell them, I'll take Miss there right away!"
servant: "Yes!"
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at Jinlan happily and said, "Jinlan, you must perform well this time when you enter the palace. Maybe this time we can turn our lives around!"
Jinlan nodded seriously.
Xiao Zhenzhen excitedly brought Jinlan to the palace.
Jinlan was also seeing such a magnificent palace for the first time, and she was overjoyed.
The palace maids led them to the Empress Dowager.
When the Empress Dowager saw that it wasn't Qiuqiu, she was furious and scolded the palace maids and eunuchs.
"You can't even pick up the right person! I'm here to pick up Miss Qi."
Xiao Zhenzhen hurriedly pulled Jinlan along and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Empress Dowager! Jinlan is indeed Miss Qi."
The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table angrily: "Are you taking advantage of my failing eyesight? Deceiving the Emperor is a capital offense!"
Xiao Zhenzhen was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. Jinlan is indeed a young lady from the Qi family. We heard that the palace sent someone to summon the young lady from the Qi family to the palace, so we rushed over."
Empress Dowager: "Where is my little bird? Is this really my little bird? It's gotten so ugly in just a few days!"
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
