After eight days of immersing himself in medical books, the Qi family welcomed another guest. The steward hurriedly came to the herb garden to invite Qi Zhiheng back.
"What happened?" Qi Zhiheng usually didn't have the authority to make decisions about things at home, so whether he stayed in the Qi residence or not wasn't really a problem. It was just that the steward came to call him at this time that made him a little curious.
"Two distinguished guests have arrived at our home. They said they wish to meet you, young master. The old lady asked me to come and invite them."
"A distinguished guest? Where did this distinguished guest come from? Why would they want to see me?" Qi Zhiheng was completely puzzled.
The butler chuckled twice. "They are from the old lady's family. They specifically requested to see you, Young Master Heng. As for their purpose, I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps you should wait until you return to check."
Upon returning to the Qi residence, Qi Zhiheng found several people already in the main hall: his father Qi Zhenhe, his mother Qiu Yuerong, his grandmother Yang Yao, and even his grandfather Qi Dong. Qi Zhiheng sized up the two strangers present: a middle-aged man dressed as a steward and a beautiful woman in a blue dress.
The woman was well-dressed, and Qi Zhiheng didn't dare to look at her too much. Because there were outsiders present, he could only politely greet her as "Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother".
Grandma Yang Yao introduced to Qi Zhiheng, "This is Madam Xue, a guest from the Yang family of Qianshi City." Yang Yao's tone was indifferent, and Qi Zhiheng could not guess what Yang Yao was thinking. He simply bowed and said, "Madam Xue."
Yuan Xue nodded and took out a wooden box, saying, "This is a gift for meeting you."
Qi Zhiheng accepted the wooden box without ceremony, saying, "Thank you, Madam Xue," and immediately put it into his pocket.
Yuan Xue frowned slightly. Deep down, she looked down on the people in this small town. The gift she gave was one of the best in the town, and Qi Zhiheng should have been apprehensive. Instead, he just casually stuffed it into his pocket.
But the thought of what they were going to discuss next made her suppress her dissatisfaction. After all, she was still hoping to rely on the Qi family's good fortune.
This story begins eleven years ago.
Now, let's talk about Yuan Xue, the legitimate daughter of the Yuan family, but unfortunately, her aptitude was poor. Her son was only a third-class aptitude, and her son's grandson was also a third-class aptitude. This made Yuan Xue extremely frustrated. The main reason was that her husband had several children with other women who had second-class aptitudes. Compared to them, she felt even more inferior!
Eleven years ago, Yuan Xue's daughter-in-law became pregnant again. The baby was born with an unusual phenomenon, and in August, it snowed heavily, with the snow covering an area of ten miles.
This delighted Yuan Xue, for babies born with unusual phenomena are destined for great things.
The Yang and Yuan families also valued this newborn girl highly, and she was named Yang Yiqian.
Everyone agreed that this was a child with first-class talent.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Yiqian was three years old, her spiritual body was found to be only grade three, which disappointed both the Yang and Yuan families who had been hoping for her.
Yuan Xue was also unwilling to give up, so she asked the matriarch of the Yang family to have Mr. Tianxing perform a divination for Yang Yiqian.
After discussing it with the head of the family, the grandmother felt that the Yang family was also closely involved in this matter.
If Yang Yiqian is indeed an extraordinary person, she will be a great help to the further development of the Yang family. So they agreed to the matter and spent a lot of money to ask Mr. Tianxing for a divination.
Master Tianxing said, "This woman is destined for greatness because of her son. If she can marry a man with great fortune, she will surely give birth to a child with exceptional qualities."
The head of the Yang family was not entirely satisfied with the result. If the woman got married, wouldn't the child she gave birth to be someone else's child? No matter how good the child's aptitude was, it wouldn't be of much benefit to the Yang family.
