Shura looked at the contract in his hand, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.
After a moment, he looked up at Qifei and asked, "Wife, are you sure you want this for me?"
“I said I would give it to my husband, and that means I will give it to him.”
It's impossible to bind someone with just a contract.
If a man has ulterior motives, no matter how much you guard against him, he will always find a way to take advantage of you.
Shura put away the contract in his hand. "If my wife trusts me, I'll leave this contract with you."
He didn't say how to do it, so Qifei naturally didn't ask any more questions.
Since she had decided to present the contract, there was no reason for her to take it back.
However, she raised the contract in her hand that promised he wouldn't divorce her after high school.
"My husband, I'll keep this."
If you really do remarry after passing the imperial examination, I will use this to exchange for a divorce agreement.
"No, I won't." Shura looked at Qifei with a serious expression. "I won't."
“My husband, remember this well,” Qi Fei said with a bright smile, “If you are heartless, then I will leave you.”
Her tone was very serious, which made Shura's heart tighten.
"No, I wouldn't, and my wife mustn't say such things." Shura hugged Qifei tightly, his voice filled with grievance, "Don't you believe me, my wife?"
"I believe you now, but we'll see about the future." Qi Fei patted Xiu Luo's back, smiling gently.
Anyone can say that, but she only believes what she sees.
That being said, she still trusted Shura to some extent.
Her connection with Shura goes beyond just one world.
If he really did something to wrong her in some small world.
She felt she didn't need to go to the rest of the world.
The couple went to their parents' courtyard for a meal, and Qifei's father couldn't hide his joy.
He even dragged Shura into having a couple of drinks.
Now he felt that he had a keen eye for talent, having chosen Shura from among so many people.
Clearly, his future holds more than that.
After a few rounds of drinks, Qifei's father pulled Xiuluo aside for a casual chat, practically begging him to swear to heaven that he would never let Qifei down again.
"Father, you've had too much to drink. Mother, please help Father back to his room to rest. My husband and I will take our leave now."
The more Qifei listened, the more she realized that her father was clearly drunk.
Moreover, people probably won't remember what they said after drinking.
Qifei's mother pinched Qifei's father in annoyance, but still helped him back to the house and asked someone to prepare a hangover soup.
After their parents went back inside, the two of them naturally had to leave.
Shura carried a lantern, and the two of them strolled leisurely through the garden without any servants following them.
"Don't take my dad's words to heart. He's just worried about me."
Qi Fei frankly recounted what had just happened. Although her father's words had been somewhat forceful, she could also sense his unease.
A person's excellence cannot be hidden. Even if a person is down on their luck for a time, they will rise to prominence once given the opportunity.
"I know Father is worried about you." Shura held Qifei's hand and looked at it carefully. "My promise now is too weak, but my wife, rest assured, you are the only one for me in this life."
Qifei didn't speak, but just smiled slightly.

After the provincial examination came the metropolitan examination, which took nearly half a year.
During the past six months, Xiu Luo did not spend his time studying, but would occasionally go out with Qi Fei's father to learn about various businesses.
The Jun family themselves were indeed in the cloth business.
From breeding to weaving to finished products and then to garments, it has everything.
Besides these, they also run a restaurant business.
It is said that the two ancestors of the Jun family were a royal chef and a textile bureau official.
This is also the origin of the Jun family's business.
Qifei's father was not afraid of Xiuluo accompanying him to inspect the properties.
Truly confident people are never afraid of others seeing them like this.
So what if you see it? It's the same business, but some people do well and some people don't.
He is never afraid of being imitated; he only accelerates his own pace of innovation.
However, others were giving subtle but overt reminders.
"You, as a son-in-law, are definitely a scheming person."
He's in control of your business now, and he'll definitely take it over in high school.
Don't be so honest and open with him, or he might turn around and accuse you.
"Brother Jun, you should be more careful in your dealings with people."
No matter what a son-in-law is, he's still an outsider. It's better to adopt a son.
Without a son, your family line will end.
Don't be silly. Women are attracted to outsiders, especially after having a man and children; their hearts will wander to the other side.
Brother Jun, I'm doing this for your own good; it's best to make plans as soon as possible.
When Qifei's father went out for a stroll, countless people told him these things.
Whether familiar or unfamiliar, they all tried different ways to prevent him from putting all his eggs in one basket.
He laughed it off to people, but when he got back, he complained to Qifei Niang.
"Do you think those people are just bored out of their minds?"
I don't know if those people are just bored, but they're so eager to meddle in other people's business.
They can't even clean up the mess in their own home.
It's my money, I can give it to whomever I want, and I like to let my daughter throw it around and play with it.
Is it any of your business?
The implication of those people's words was that he should adopt a child.
If it were adoption, he would have done it already. Why wait until now?
They're all worrying about things that don't concern them.
"Don't be angry. People can say whatever they want."
Qi Fei Niang offered a word of advice, saying that she had faced far more gossip and rumors over the years than she was now.
Even now, some people still sourly say that she was a jealous woman who couldn't produce offspring for the Jun family and wouldn't allow her husband to take a concubine, deliberately trying to cut off the Jun family's lineage.
She admitted that she was not very generous, but in the past, she had to give away her maidservant to Qifei's father because she could not have any more children.
But he didn't want them at all, and instead sent all the maids away.
At first, she thought he didn't like her maid, since the maids around her were pretty but not stunning.
So I thought about finding a color that looked nicer, but he stopped me.
After several attempts, she finally believed that he truly didn't want any other women.
As a woman, it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved by a man doing this for me.
The two have always had a good relationship, and even now, Qifei's father has not mentioned taking a concubine.
Over the years, the couple has acquired many businesses in their daughter's name, but because their daughter is still young, it has always been Qifei's father who arranges for people to manage them.
When Qifei got married, her mother gave her a box containing all the things that had been prepared for her over the years.
However, Qifei only glanced at it and then put it there.
"Father, please work a little harder. I don't have the energy to ask these questions right now. I'll ask you when I need them."
These are Qi Fei's exact words. She said that just seeing those things made her scalp tingle, and she really couldn't be bothered to manage those shops or do the accounting.
