The Qi family compound is located in a quiet area in a bustling city. The high gray walls make it impossible to see one corner from another.

The vermilion gate with a big lion at the door shows wealth and prosperity.

The convoy went directly to the side door near the back house, where many maids were already waiting to greet them.

Her eldest daughter-in-law, Xu Minghui, stood in front of the crowd.

"Mother!" Xu bowed lightly with a faint smile on her face.

"Well. Is Qi Xiao back?" Mrs. Qi asked with a faint smile.

The eldest daughter-in-law in front of me has thin and curved eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes with drooping corners, a red little mouth, and an oval face... She is indeed beautiful.

But in Madam Qi's mind, Wen Yu's calm and beautiful eyes appeared...

"My husband wrote to me saying that he was delayed by something and would have to wait a few more days."

"Oh. Where's Baoer?"

Mrs. Xu put on a big and sweet smile, but her eyes were cold. "Bao'er's grandmother missed her, so my wife took her back to her parents' home a few days ago. Grandmother insisted on keeping her for a day. But after she stayed, she was never released!" She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief in a pretentious manner and looked around: "Mother, where is my cousin?"

She was asking about Yuanyuan.

"Her father took her away at the city gate."

"Oh, I really envy Yuanyuan. She's so young, but she's already been to so many places. And so many people treat her like an eyeball... After all, blood is thicker than water. My daughter-in-law's mother missed Baoer so much after not seeing her for ten days. My uncle hasn't seen Yuanyuan for almost half a year, he must be missing her terribly."

Does this mean that I ignored my granddaughter for half a year, didn't think about Bao'er, and took others to so many places? But Mrs. Qi had no way to deal with this. If Xu found other troubles, she would return them without hesitation.

But if it comes to her granddaughter... How could she not miss her after being away from home for so long? She was so kind to Yuanyuan, how could she not be kind to her granddaughter? "I brought some toys for Baoer, and will send them back to her room."

"Thank you, mother. Bao'er is younger than Yuanyuan and doesn't know how to play yet. There's no need to prepare anything specially. When Yuanyuan has left over, just give her one or two. Bao'er is also very picky. What if she... it would be a waste of mother's kindness."

I really don't like coming back...

Mrs. Qi felt a little desperate, thinking of the harmonious and warm scenes when she was with Wen Yu. She sighed: Fortunately, there is hope, as long as Wen Yu comes home.

So she stopped talking.

"Mother, where is my fifth uncle?" Xu Minghui asked again.

"He has something urgent to do and will be back soon."

"Really?! It seems like it's a very urgent matter, otherwise, grandma would have waited in vain!"

Madam Qi stopped and said, "I haven't washed properly in the past few days because I was in a hurry to get back. I'll go back to my room first. You can tell the old lady for me... Just tell me that everything is fine."

"But mother and grandmother are always in the house..."

Madam Qi's eyes were cold and heavy. "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Suddenly, Xu's face turned red, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Qi couldn't bear it any longer, she flicked her sleeves and left.

Do I have to see that bitch as soon as I enter the door?

I'm afraid I can't help but slap her! Seeing Madam Qi leave like this, Xu was embarrassed and ashamed, and she grabbed her handkerchief angrily. After a long time, she sneered and went to the old lady's room.

…

Wen Qian received a letter from home. After reading it, his brows furrowed...

He quickly judged the pros and cons, and finally, he just sighed, said goodbye to everyone around him, and went home with the letter.

Yuan was a little surprised to see him come back: "Why did Master Wen come back so early?"

Wen Qian's journey back home was much calmer. At this point, the risk of going on is uncertain, but if we stop him... I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome. Let's ask the Qi family first.

"I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Why are you so serious? Tell me..." Yuan poured a glass of water for her husband, and then drank one herself, looking very relaxed.

During the days when she arrived in Beijing, Wen Qian's work went smoothly. She went out with her husband for social events and made friends with several good ladies. Her upward path gradually opened up and she received invitations from respectable families one after another.

Things at home are also back on track.

The front study, the old lady's yard and Mrs. Wu's yard were decorated according to my husband's preferences.

Then, she got another piece of good news. Her new friend, Madam Li, was the legitimate son of Li Gelao's brother, Li Qi, who was seventeen years old this year and already a scholar. Because of his studies, he had not yet been engaged.

Madam Li likes Wen Huan very much and wants to bring them together... Judging from her attitude, she seems very confident!

Anyway, everything is good after entering Beijing.

"What's wrong, Master Wen? I'm listening!"

Wen Qian said: "My mother wrote to me and arranged a marriage for Wen Yu."

Yuan's smile faded, "It's time to find a husband for the eldest daughter. Is it the Zhang family?"

"No. He is the fifth son of the Qi family, the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion in the capital."

Yuan blinked, "With who?!"

…

"With whom?"

The man threw the glass ball in his hand onto the table with a bang. The ball rolled twice on the table and fell to the ground.

Qi Wu picked it up and put it back.

Silently looking at the man in front of him, the current Crown Prince Zhao Qihuan.

In his early years, he saved my life. Now, I gave him my life.

"Speak!"

Qi Wu sighed. This person really didn't know about his later engagement. Because the people he sent to follow him had all sent back letters one after another.

Therefore, he only knew that he was tricked by the Qin family...

"Your Highness, this was decided just before we came back. This is what happened..."

Zhao Qihuan glanced sternly out the window... Someone was shivering near the window...

He interrupted Qi Wu lazily: "Qi Xiaowu, how can your heart change so easily? You are so unfaithful and ungrateful. This is not the Qi Xiaowu I know! I didn't know you are such a playboy!"

Qi Wu couldn't respond to this.

"Originally, I was still thinking about how to ruin the marriage between the Jiang and Qin families and get Qin Dongshi... uh, to help you get her back! Why did you change your mind again..."

"Your Highness, the girl you have chosen is the eldest daughter of the Wen family in Jiangzhou. Miss Wen's father, Wen Qian, has just been transferred to the capital to serve as..."

"Well... just a country girl." The grandson looked disdainful, "Have you seen her?"

"I have met you a few times." Qi Wu knew: he had to tell the truth, otherwise it would be the beginning of bigger trouble.

"Huh! How many times... You really are going on a blind date! How many times can a man and a woman meet each other? It's easy to infer that she is definitely not a woman who follows the rules!"

Qi Wu couldn't argue...he could only listen.

Then, the grandson muttered something, no one knew what he said, and asked with a squinting look, "What does this firewood girl look like?" "Your Highness!" Qi Wu said seriously, otherwise it would be too late to talk about it. "You also know that this time when I came home, my mother wanted to arrange a marriage for me."

"Hmph!" He rolled his eyes. "Then what do you think of her appearance compared to Qin Dongshi?" He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then asked in a drawn-out voice.

"...The main reason why my mother chose her was..." Qi Wu cut the Gordian knot and told the story of how he saved Yuanyuan.

The crown prince listened carefully, and then his face was gloomy for a long time, and then he snorted and turned to look at Qi Wu, "Could it be that this firewood girl did this?! Maybe she saw you on a certain occasion, and knew that Madam Qi wanted to arrange a marriage for you. So, she designed this plan to get to know Madam Qi better. And then, you know..."

His eyebrows moved, and his eyes were bright and shining, making the whole person look different in an instant.

But Qi Wu was unwilling to continue, and directly took out the bundle, "Your Highness, please take a look at this... Before, I asked someone to send some of it back, but I was afraid it was not safe, so I carried all of these with me."

The crown prince glared at him, took it and looked at it, flipping through it one by one.

This time, he restrained his rogue expression and became serious and solemn...

Sorry, it's even later.

Just as I was about to go to bed yesterday, I saw the earthquake video and then I couldn’t sleep.

How cold! Why do disasters always happen at the most difficult times...
