Although Wen Yi has grown up to be this old, this is the first time she has ever properly stepped into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
It wasn't just about getting the marriage certificate and transferring the household registration; Luo Yi handled all these trivial matters while Wen Yi quietly assisted by signing documents and taking photos.
As for the Second Master of the Imperial Garden, Wen Yi had never met him before, and she had no particular feelings about it, so she didn't care whether the Second Master came or not.
In fact, Wen Yi would feel relieved if he didn't have to meet with that second master.
After a series of procedures were completed, Wen Yi received her marriage certificate and household registration book, but Wen Yi never saw them. Instead, Luo Yi kept them and only returned the Wen family's household registration book to Wen Yi.
"Madam," Luo Yi changed his form of address, "Second Master's current meaning is that you should return to the Imperial Garden before eight o'clock tonight. In the meantime, whether you need me to accompany you back to the Wen family to pack, or go back and pack your things yourself, please choose for yourself."
Luo Yi's words surprised Wen Yi.
What he meant was that as long as Wen Yi appeared at the Imperial Garden before 8 p.m., she would be free to do whatever she wanted for the next ten or so hours.
Wen Yi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I want to go back to the Wen family home and pack my things myself."
Luo Yi nodded. "Do you need me to take you back to the Wen family?"
"No need, I can go by myself."
Luo Yi nodded, said nothing more, and left the Civil Affairs Bureau with his men.
Wen Yi sat on the bench, holding the Wen family's household registration book in her hand. She opened it and saw her parents, Wen Ge, and her younger brother, but not Wen Yi herself.
She got her wish and finally severed all ties with the Wen family.
From then on, he truly died in the Imperial Garden.
Wen Yi did not return to the Wen family. Instead, she called a local courier to return the household registration book to the Wen family and wandered aimlessly through the city.
I've been to many places, some familiar, some unfamiliar.
It is about Gu Huaixu, and it is unrelated to Gu Huaixu.
I've been through them all.
It wasn't until night fell and the city lights came on that Wen Yi realized that although the city looked big, it could actually be explored in a day.
Wen Yi eventually took a taxi back to Yutingyuan.
Yutingyuan is located on a plot of land in the suburbs. The back mountain is an undeveloped area that retains the most original forest state. It is a paradise nestled against the mountains and by the water.
In Wen Yi's imagination, the Royal Garden should be a dark Gothic castle building like those in the movie, but in fact, the Royal Garden is much brighter.
The villa is built in a modern Nordic style. As soon as you step into the gate, you are greeted by a beautiful garden with a hot spring spraying water, adding a touch of coolness to the hot summer day.
"Madam, you're back."
"lady."
The servants in their work uniforms greeted Wen Yi respectfully, which made Wen Yi feel somewhat out of place.
When she returned, she was still hesitant about whether to contact Luo Yi. After all, although she had married into the Royal Garden, she did not want any wedding ceremony because of her own wishes. She just wanted to enter the Royal Garden quietly.
Wen Yi was afraid that the people at Yutingyuan would not recognize her and would turn her away.
But later, not wanting to trouble Luo Yi, Wen Yi thought that if he was stopped from entering the Imperial Garden, he would contact Luo Yi again.
To her surprise, instead of being stopped when she entered, these people greeted her respectfully.
“Madam, I am the steward of the Imperial Garden. You may call me Uncle Luo.”
The gray-haired old butler walked up to Wen Yi and introduced himself, "Although Madam said that a wedding is not necessary, Second Master instructed that a banquet must be held when Madam moves into the Imperial Garden."
"A banquet?" Wen Yi was somewhat surprised.
"The guests invited to the banquet are all friends of the Second Master, and the Second Master has also instructed that he hopes that Madam will maintain good relations with the young ladies and ladies among the guests in the future."
Wen Yi wasn't stupid. Although the old butler hadn't explained it clearly, she understood what the second master of Yutingyuan meant.
She was instructed to maintain good relationships with the guests at the banquet.
"Don't worry, I know what to do," Wen Yi said.
The old butler nodded, led Wen Yi upstairs, and then handed Wen Yi over to the maid to tidy up her appearance.
10 p.m.
The banquet at the Royal Garden has officially begun.
The banquet was held in the main hall of the secondary villa, and many guests had already arrived.
Wen Yi wore a bright red evening gown, her hair was styled in an updo, and her makeup was exquisite. After removing her old-fashioned glasses, her whole demeanor became more refined, exuding a gentle and dignified air.
Wen Yi possesses an intangible, dignified air, unlike Wen Ge's delicate and demure demeanor; rather, it is a natural and innate grandeur.
"Isn't Second Master going to show up?" Wen Yi asked.
As Steward Luo's wife, Aunt Luo, was tidying Wen Yi's clothes, she said, "Madam, Second Master never attends banquets like this."
So she was left to face the banquet alone, not only to manage the event but also to entertain these complete strangers.
This second master is giving her far too much credit.
"Sister Luo, do you have a guest list that you could give me?" Wen Yi asked.
Since she has to face it alone, and since she has married into the Imperial Garden, Wen Yi represents the face of the Imperial Garden. Even if she is unhappy that the Second Master held this banquet and left her here to deal with it alone, Wen Yi accepts her fate, knows her current situation, and will do her best to handle this matter.
“Madam, there is no guest list,” said Aunt Luo.
Wen Yi was a little surprised, but she accepted it anyway, "Then I understand."
"Madam, once you arrive, you'll see that no guest list is required," Aunt Luo reminded her.
Although Wen Yi didn't know what Luo Sao meant by those words, he didn't press her for details.
Wen knew exactly what the banquet was like once he arrived at the venue.
On her way to the villa, Wen Yi was filled with trepidation. She had imagined many scenarios for the banquet, but she never expected it to be like this...
The entire living room was decorated to create a very festive atmosphere, with servants carrying tea, drinks, and desserts as they moved around the room.
No more than five guests may be present at the banquet.
Wen Yi glanced around and finally confirmed that there were only four people attending the banquet.
A very pretty girl, about three or four years younger than Wen Yi, and the other three are...
Two teenagers and a little girl of seven or eight years old.
Wen Yi was stunned by this scene.
Regardless of what she had imagined before coming, that the guests at the banquet were all shrewd businessmen and a place for women to compete with each other.
But I never expected it to turn out like this.
The seven or eight-year-old girl and the two boys were making a lot of noise, jumping around at the banquet, while the little girl, a few years younger than Wen, was bored and lying on the table with a row of different colored cocktails in front of her.
She seemed rather bored, or perhaps she was staring at a cocktail, studying it.
To be honest, Wen Yi was standing at the door, feeling completely lost and unsure of what to do.
