Qiu Xuan was present at what happened last night, and he admitted that his son's behavior was indeed inappropriate.
But if Shen Qiqi was going to cancel the engagement because of this matter, then it was really unnecessary.
Marriage is a serious matter, not a game of house for children. How can you turn against each other just because of a few quarrels?
They came all the way from Langting to Yuzhou specially this time, carrying the betrothal gifts to formally propose marriage. However, before the gifts were even brought into the girl's house, her husband broke off the engagement with his son. If this gets out, how will the Langting Qiu family save their reputation?
He used to have a good son, but now he has suddenly become a second-hand commodity whose engagement has been broken off. It is impossible for Qiu Xuan to say that he has no resentment at all.
Therefore, although he knew that his son's words were a bit too harsh, Qiu Xuan did not intend to scold him. He just said symbolically: "Feng'er, don't be rude."
Turning to look at Shen Mingyu.
"Brother Mingyu, since Qiqi isn't interested in Feng'er, I think we should just call it quits on their marriage. What do you think, Brother Mingyu?"
It's better to cancel the marriage. The Qiu family can't afford a daughter-in-law like Shen Qiqi.
Therefore, Qiu Xuan spoke politely and tactfully, seemingly seeking Shen Mingyu's opinion, but his words revealed his determination to call off the marriage.
What else can Shen Mingyu do?
Ultimately, in his opinion, it was his daughter who was wrong in this matter.
Shen Mingyu had no choice but to bow his head and apologize, "I'm so ashamed. It's all because of my poor upbringing and my inability to teach my daughter well. I've caused trouble for Brother Qiu."
Qiu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Mingyu, don't blame yourself. As parents, we are only there to supervise and guide our children. Ultimately, the character of our children depends on themselves."
Qiu Changfeng added, "Ms. Shen is very good."
The implication is: It’s not that you, Shen Mingyu, are bad at educating your daughters, it’s that your younger daughter, Shen Mingyu, is not good enough. Otherwise, how could the older daughter be so outstanding if they were raised by the same father?
Shen Mingyu naturally understood the meaning behind the words of the father and son. He felt very complicated for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Thinking about it carefully, the little girl was actually quite well-behaved before, but since she came back from the training at Wanmo Cliff, she has become a completely different person. Not only does she speak badly to Ning'er, but she is also not as close to him as before.
Shen Mingyu even suspected that his little girl was possessed by an evil spirit.
Just as he was thinking about it, a man who looked like a butler came in and said, "Master, the banquet is ready, and the guests are all here. How do you think we should explain this to the guests?"
After the housekeeper reminded him, Shen Mingyu remembered that more difficult things were still to come.
The food and wine were served and the guests were all there, but his daughter ran away at the last minute. How could he explain this to all the guests in the room?
Shen Mingyu couldn't help but rub his forehead with a headache. Qiu Changfeng frowned, and his eyes swept over the dignified and gentle Shen Ning'er next to him. He curled his lips and smiled, and suggested: "Uncle Shen, this matter is actually not difficult to solve."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingyu, who was already in a state of panic, hurriedly asked, "Oh? Does my nephew Feng'er have any good ideas?"
"It's not a good idea, just some personal suggestions." Qiu Changfeng glanced at Shen Ning'er and said, "I remember that Uncle Shen held a banquet today, but he only said it was the birthday banquet of Second Miss Shen, and didn't explicitly say it was an engagement banquet. Now that my marriage to Second Miss Shen has been cancelled, why not change this banquet into a farewell banquet for First Miss Shen."
Shen Qiqi, you are not going to ruin Ning'er's reputation, I will help Ning'er earn it back today!
Once the banquet is held, everyone will know that Shen Ning'er has been accepted as a disciple by the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable of the Wuji Sect.
With such great honor, who would care about the little things on Wanmo Cliff.
By then, everyone will only be respectful to Shen Ning'er.
Qiu Xuan also thought his son's suggestion was good and agreed, "Brother Mingyu, I think Feng'er's method is feasible.
At this point, this is the only way to remedy the situation.
Shen Mingyu nodded and said to the housekeeper, "Let's do it this way. The banquet will begin as usual."
"Okay, master. I'll go down and prepare the banquet right away." The housekeeper took the order and went down to prepare.
Ana Shen never expected that things would turn out like this, and her hands clenched tightly under her sleeves in excitement.
Logically speaking, she should have followed the immortal envoy of Wuji Sect to leave Yuzhou and head to Wuji Sect yesterday.
The reason why she dragged her feet and didn't leave was, firstly, she was unwilling to give up and wanted to bring Shen Qiqi to Wuji Sect with her, and secondly, her reputation was damaged before on Wanmo Cliff, and she wanted to take advantage of the large number of people at this banquet to reveal that she had been accepted as a disciple by Zi Ling Xianzun.
Most people in the world flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. As long as everyone knows that she is now the disciple of the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable, who will still hold on to such a small matter as her cheating her sister of spirit stones?
She just wanted to take advantage of the east wind, but the east wind lifted her up. It seems that even God is blessing her!
But we still have to do what we should do.
Shen Ning'er suppressed her excitement and said in embarrassment, "Father, this isn't right. Today's banquet is for Qiqi. How can I steal the limelight from my sister? Besides, it's hard to explain to the immortal envoys."
Shen Ning'er hesitated to speak.
She didn't want to leave a bad impression on the fairy that she was stealing her sister's limelight.
Someone has to tell the fairy that this was not her wish and that she was there to save the situation.
Shen Mingyu didn't want to mention his youngest daughter anymore. Hearing this, he said in a deep voice, "You're just helping your sister clean up the mess. How can you say you're stealing her limelight? As for the immortal envoy, you don't have to worry. I will personally go and explain everything to him."
