"Not long after you left, your former uncle-in-law came looking for you. After he came, he told your aunt that he was forced by his parents, that he still cared about your aunt, and asked your aunt to forgive him, saying that the original spouse is the best."
“If your aunt ignores him, he will come to your door every day to beg, and he will tell others how loving he and your aunt were in the past, and he will write poems for your aunt every day.”
"Over time, many people were moved by him and advised your aunt to get back together with him."
“Once, when your aunt went out to buy something, your former uncle stopped her again. The onlookers also advised your aunt to forgive him and to get back together with him.”
"Your aunt told him to move aside, but he wouldn't. Your aunt was so angry that she wanted to hit him. Just as your aunt was about to make a move, Gao Yingjie came over. When Gao Yingjie saw so many people surrounding your aunt, he asked her what was wrong?"
"After your aunt told him, he immediately pulled out a knife and cut off the topknot of your former uncle. Your former uncle was almost scared to death, and the onlookers didn't dare to make a fuss anymore."
"When Gao Yingjie saw that they were all too afraid to speak, he pointed his knife at your former uncle's nose and said, 'Whether what you're saying is true or false? Whether you truly can't forget her or just want to take her back now that you know her family has turned their lives around? In short, if she doesn't want to talk to you now, then don't bother her. If you dare to bother her again, next time I'll move my knife down five inches.'"
"From then on, your former uncle never dared to bother your aunt again. To thank him, your aunt made him a pair of knee pads. After receiving them, he gave your aunt a pair of earrings. After receiving them, your aunt made him a pair of shoes, and after receiving them, he gave your aunt a pair of bracelets. Before long, you had wedding candy to eat and a new uncle."
Sisi had two questions after hearing this. "Is he really in love with my aunt, or is he like my uncle before, trying to climb the social ladder now that our family is rich? Also, when my uncle before was harassing my aunt, why didn't my uncles do anything about it?"
“Your aunt won’t let you tell your uncle and the others. Your aunt said she wants to handle it herself. I saw it, and Gao Yingjie really likes your aunt. Let me tell you, most people’s feelings change, especially those like Gao Yingjie’s that don’t get a response.”
Sisi was relieved. "My aunt was probably bewitched by Gao Yingjie's knife strike."
"Yes. Your former uncle did do a good thing. If it weren't for him, your aunt wouldn't have taken the initiative to get close to Gao Yingjie, and Gao Yingjie wouldn't have realized that he actually liked your aunt."
After telling Sisi about Sisi's aunt and Gao Yingjie, Fengchan talked about the others.
Meanwhile, Ning Yirong went to see his mother as soon as he returned to the palace. "Mother, what are you busy with?"
"I'm busy preparing your betrothal gifts. Do you know when Grandpa Yun and the others will be back?"
"Mother, I was just about to tell you this. Old Master Yun and my future mother-in-law have returned."
The Empress was delighted to hear this. "You're finally back! I'll tell your grandmother right now; she's waiting for you."
After saying this, the Empress was about to go find the Empress Dowager.
Ning Yirong quickly grabbed his mother. "Mother, when do you plan to summon my future mother-in-law to the palace?" The women of the capital were surely waiting to see if his mother would summon his mother-in-law, and whether she would treat her as a relative by marriage.
The Empress laughed upon hearing this. "Look how anxious you are. I really don't know why you like that little girl so much? That little girl beats you up the moment she sees you."
"I don't know either. Maybe I owed her something in my past life."
"I think so too. Let's go ask your grandmother when she's free."
The Empress Dowager was quite pleased to learn that Old Master Yun and Feng Chan had returned. She had also heard of Old Master Yun's great achievements, and she felt that even if her son issued an imperial decree, her grandson might not be able to marry Sisi if Old Master Yun did not agree.
Sisi and Fengchan had just finished their conversation when the imperial decree arrived. The Emperor summoned Old Master Yun to the palace, and the Empress Dowager summoned Fengchan and Sisi.
Feng Chan was a little nervous. She never thought she would be able to visit the palace in her lifetime.
As for whether the Empress Dowager would make things difficult for her or look down on her, Feng Chan thought it was highly unlikely. Firstly, she was now a legitimate daughter-in-law of the Yun family. Secondly, the Crown Prince came running over as soon as she returned, which meant he really wanted to arrange this marriage. Since the Crown Prince wanted to arrange this marriage so much, he would probably persuade the Empress Dowager to treat her better.
Twelve, Thirteen, and Mu Mu were very happy to see Grandpa Yun and Feng Chan when they returned.
Little Mumu immediately started looking for his mother, and was a little sad when he found that she hadn't returned. "Great-Grandpa, Third Aunt, I miss my mother."
Feng Chan picked up Xiao Mumu. "Your mother will be back in a few months. She brought you lots of delicious food. Come on, your third aunt will take you to get it."
"Okay. How long is several months?"
Feng Chan pointed to the long corridor in the courtyard. "It's so long."
"So long."
"Yes. Will you still abandon your mother and run off with your older brother and sister in the future?"
"...Third Aunt, what delicious food did my mother bring me?"
...
The next morning, after breakfast, Grandpa Yun, Feng Chan, and Si Si went to the palace.
The Emperor consulted with Old Master Yun about the principles of governing the country.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress chatted with Fengchan and Sisi about everyday matters.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time chatting.
At noon, the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress invited Sisi and the others to have lunch in the palace.
After finishing their meal, Sisi and the others said goodbye.
When they took their leave, the Empress Dowager presented Sisi and the others with two cartloads of gifts. The Emperor asked Old Master Yun if he wished to remain in the court for a few more years. Old Master Yun politely declined.
The ladies of each household were watching to see how the Empress Dowager and the Empress would treat Feng Chan.
Upon seeing this, he began sending invitations to Feng Chan.
Feng Chan was also quite sociable, and soon she became familiar with the ladies of various households. When Feng Chan visited different households, she would bring Han Dongyu and the girls from her family with her.
Old Bai has been holed up in Beijing for several years and has long wanted to go out and explore.
Feng Chan also wanted Sisi to go out and have more fun, because she wouldn't be as free as she is now after getting married.
After Lao Hei returned, Si Si and Lao Bai prepared to go out and play.
Ning Yirong, Feng Chan, Lao Hei, and Grandpa Yun came to see Sisi and Lao Bai off.
Ning Yirong looked at Sisi and said, "Have fun, I'll take care of things at home. Also, do whatever you want, I'll be there for you."
Feng Chan looked at Lao Bai and said, "Find a wife, or if that doesn't work, have a child, I'll raise it for you."
Old Hei rubbed Sisi's head. "If you see something you like but can't get it, just let me know and I'll go get it for you."
Grandpa Yun looked at Old Black, then at Old White, then at Ning Yirong. “Little Six, your great-grandfather will go with you. Your great-grandfather also wants to go out and play. There’s nothing for your great-grandfather to do at home.”
As soon as Sisi and Lao Bai heard this, they rode off on their horses!
Are you kidding me?!
If her great-grandfather/Old Man Yun were with them, what would they have left to do?
Grandpa Yun: "..."
