The master of the Qi family divorced Ding and sent her back to the Ding family. The news quickly spread in the capital.

The next day, matchmakers kept coming to propose marriage.

"I am here to propose marriage to General Qi. I am thirty years old and have never been married."

"The man the woman is talking about is eighteen years old."

Pei is my daughter-in-law, so it is difficult to refuse her, but it is also difficult to agree to her.

She said to the matchmaker: "We can't make the decision on this matter. We have to ask my father's opinion."

The matchmakers all praised, "The one this woman is talking about is kind and gentle."

Finally, General Qi came out and announced to the matchmaker in person, "I will never arrange marriages again, and I will never marry again. Don't come again, and don't blame me for being angry if you do."

The matchmakers had no choice but to answer, "Yes, old general."

Pei gave each matchmaker a big red envelope. Although the matchmakers were rejected, they returned satisfied.

If someone else asks for marriage proposal, the matchmakers will not dare to accept it. "General Qi refused to propose marriage to my face. If I go again, I am afraid that my reputation will be humiliated. I will not go, no matter how much money you give me."

When Qi Lu went to pay his respects to his father, he asked, "Father, why don't you ask for a second wife to serve you?"

"My sons don't want you to live a lonely life. If there is a girl you like, they can marry her home."

General Qi waved his hand and said to his children and grandchildren, "What do those young women want from marrying a man like me who is about to die?"

"Isn't it the status and wealth of the Qi family that I'm after?"

General Qi was afraid. "I still have a few years to live. If I leave a young old lady to suppress my children and grandchildren and make them uncomfortable, I will not be able to see my old wife when I go to the underworld."

General Qi made a decision and never mentioned the matter of marrying a second wife again.

Since the death of the third wife and Mrs. Ding, the Qi Mansion has become very quiet, with no more beating, scolding or reprimanding.

Every day, cheerful laughter could be heard in the mansion.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the eighth month, which was Qi Wan’s sixteenth birthday.

In the morning, the servants came forward to pay their respects and kowtow, "Happy birthday, young lady."

Qi Wan gave everyone red envelopes as a reward, but no one accepted them. "Today is Miss's birthday, and I should have given you a gift, but I won't accept the red envelope."

Qi Wan no longer forced him, and smiled as she arranged, "Auntie Wu, add a few more dishes for everyone today."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Qi Wan's parents gave her an incense shop and said, "Ah Wan, you run it. If there's a loss, it's ours, and if there's a profit, it's yours."

From then on, this shop became Qi Wan's private property. No matter how much money she made, it would not be handed over to the public, nor would it be included in her dowry.

Zheng smiled and said, "From now on, I will ask everyone in the Zheng Mansion to come to A-Wan to buy incense."

Qi Wan bowed obediently, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom, and thank you, sister-in-law."

She had lots and lots of spices in her space, so she could just sell them.

My elder brother and his wife gave my younger sister a set of jade jewelry.

The second brother gave his younger sister a set of gold jewelry.

He is currently seeking marriage with the daughter of the seventh branch of the Pei family.

In the evening, the Qi family set up two banquets to celebrate Qi Wan's birthday, and the whole family talked and laughed happily.

No one mentioned that Qi Wan was old and should say kissing.

After the banquet, Qi Wan returned to Yilan Courtyard.

She sent the servants to eat.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Wu Yi took out a set of gifts and said, "This is sent by the host."

Qi Wan opened it and took a look and was stunned.

There was a set of jewelry in the brocade box, which was extremely gorgeous.

There is a gold necklace inlaid with rubies, made into peony flowers. The one in the middle is the largest, and the ones on the two sides are smaller than the other.

Wear it around your neck and it will look dazzling.

There is a pair of matching earrings.

A pair of rings and a pair of bracelets.

Each piece of jewelry is extremely precious and priceless.

"It's too expensive." Qi Wan sighed.

"Master, you deserve it." Wu Yi said.

Qi Wan closed the brocade box and placed it beside her pillow.

She fondled the brocade box and muttered, "I said I would visit Brother Qin more often. It's been almost a month since I came back, and I haven't visited him yet."

"Shall we go to Ghost Valley tonight?" she asked Wu Yi.

"No." Wu Yi smiled, "Because the master is not there."

"Where did he go?" Qi Wan asked with a frown.

"He's in..." Wu Yi's eyes fell on the study in the east room.

Qi Wan was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that the person she wanted to see was right next to her.

She sent away Wu Ma who came in to take the night shift, "Leave Wu Yi on duty tonight, you go down and have a drink."

"Yes, Miss." Aunt Wu went downstairs happily.

Qi Wan ran into the study room holding up her long skirt and saw a person sitting at the table, looking up at her quietly.

"Brother Qin." Qi Wan called softly.

Wang Qin smiled, "Happy birthday, little Tuanzi."

Qi Wan smiled. She really liked hearing Brother Qin call her "little dumpling".

"Has Brother Qin had dinner?"

"Used."

"Have a cup of tea." Qi Wan washed the cup herself, made a cup of tea, and handed it to Wang Qin.

Her face flushed slightly, her smile became a little shy, and her eyes flashed brightly.

The moment Wang Qin saw Qi Wan, it was as if he saw the morning sun rising, and warmth enveloped his whole body.

Then, he thought about his situation and gradually felt that his trip tonight was a bit rash.

He lowered his head, took a sip of tea and calmed down.

When he looked up again, his face became calm.

He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "I came to the capital today for something. I heard from Wu Yi that it was your birthday today, so I came to see you."

Qi Wan was a little disappointed. It turned out that Brother Qin didn't come specially to celebrate her birthday.

She asked, "What's the matter, Brother Qin?"

Wang Qin said softly: "I sent someone to the border and got the letter that Wang Yigui wrote to the foreign enemy."

"That's great." Qi Wan clapped his hands lightly, extremely surprised.

She said, "Publicize the letter."

Wang Qin shook his head. “Whether someone tells Wang Jin or makes this letter public, he will not punish Wang Yigui.”

Qi Wan thought of what his father had said, "The emperor will not punish the prince, he will only punish those who say the prince is not a good person."

"How to do it?"

Wang Qin comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Qi Wan felt relieved after hearing his words.

Wang Qin stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

He strode out of the room and disappeared into the darkness.

Qi Wan stood at the door and watched him leave, looking somewhat distraught.

Her heart was filled with a sweet and sour feeling, a feeling she had never experienced in her previous life or in this life.

Qi Wan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Every expression and every word of Wang Qin were repeated over and over again in her mind.

"What's wrong with me?" Qi Wan asked secretly.

She took the brocade box, slipped into the space, put on the jewelry, and looked around at a large bronze mirror in the building. The beauty inside was radiant.

"This is my favorite set of jewelry." Qi Wan took it down and kept it in the space.

She would enter the space almost every day, put on the set of clothes that Wang Qin had given her as a birthday gift, and look at herself in the bronze mirror.

Qi Wan thought that Brother Qin left the palace in a hurry and did not take much gold and silver with him.

He must have spent a lot of money to buy this set of jewelry.

Her heart felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey water.

"I have no shortage of gold and silver. Tomorrow I will ask Wu Yi to send some silver notes to Brother Qin."

When Wang Qin received the box of silver sent by Wu Yi, he was stunned.

He had lived for twenty-two years, and this was the first time someone had given him so much wealth.

"Little Tuanzi must have given me all the private money he had saved." He smiled, feeling a deep happiness and warmth in his heart.
