The Qi family dinner was held at the Qi family's old house. When Qi Chenyan and Shi Xing arrived, it was almost noon and almost everyone was there.
The banquet hall was already filled with the clinking of glasses.
The Qi family is large, but most of them are branches.
Because Qi Chenyan's father Qi Muci is an only son, Qi Chenyan is also an only son.
Naturally, Qi Chenyan was far away from his cousins and had few close friends.
Although it is still ranked third according to the ranking of big families.
But everyone knows that Qi Chenyan is the only heir of the Qi family, and there is nothing special about it.
That's why today's banquet was particularly well attended, as everyone wanted to meet Shi Xing, the person whom the prince loved so much.
Outside the banquet hall, several young masters and young ladies who were hiding from their elders were standing together gossiping:
"I didn't expect that the one from the Shi family was so capable that he could actually charm our third brother to such an extent."
"What does it matter if I love you? Did you see the old lady's expression? Did you see the divorce agreement yesterday? The Shi family is not worthy of being accepted by the public. The old lady will not accept Shi Xing into the Qi family."
"No, you don't really think that our prince is truly in love with Shi Xing, do you?"
"Brother Yan's Weibo post made it so clear, isn't it true love?"
"You're really naive, aren't you aware of the grievances and grudges between the second generation of our wealthy Kyoto families? Who has our Crown Prince been most at odds with since childhood?"
"The one from the He family?"
The person who was speaking crossed his legs, looking like someone who understood. "Shi Xing used to chase after the girl from the He family, loving her to death. Who in Kyoto didn't know that? What do you call our Crown Prince's behavior now? If you want to go against me, then I'll steal your wife and make you come crying and beg me!"
other people:"?"
It seems to be quite interesting.
At this time, a cold male voice came from behind them, "Qi Xiaowu, you know a lot."
The expressions of the others changed instantly.
Qi Xiaowu chuckled: "That's not true. Let me tell you, our prince's true love is not Shi Xing at all. It's obviously the He family's..."
As he spoke, he turned around and met a pair of eyes as deep as an icy lake.
"?"
Qi Xiaowu's face twitched.
Qi Chenyan's handsome face was as frosty as ice, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "My true love is that thing from the He family?"
Qi Xiaowu: "It's the sweetheart of the He family, Miss Shi Xingshi, our third sister-in-law."
After he finished speaking, he quickly extended his hand to Shi Xing who was beside Qi Chenyan, and smiled flatteringly: "Hello, Third Sister-in-law, my name is Qi Xiao, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I will rely on you to take care of my younger brother from now on."
Shi Xing: “…”
She didn't shake hands with him, but just took Qi Chenyan's arm and said politely, "Hello."
The others glared at Qi Xiao with disdain, and hurriedly called out to Qi Chenyan and Shi Xing, "Third brother, Third sister-in-law."
They are very well-behaved in front of others.
Behind the scenes...
Shi Xing remained silent. Forget it. It’s their freedom to decide what to do behind other people’s backs.
Qi Chenyan didn't bother to pay attention to these people and took Shi Xing into the banquet hall.
Qi Xiao patted his chest, feeling terrified: "The prince is the prince, it's so scary, how come he appeared without making any sound?"
Someone slapped him on the head and said, "How dare you talk nonsense when you are such a coward."
Some people looked at the backs of Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan and sighed: "I never thought Shi Xing was so beautiful before. No wonder she could make Third Brother so obsessed with her."
"Don't mention it, she's a perfect match with our third brother."
Shi Xing was wearing an ice-blue cheongsam with twined branches today, with her long hair lazily tied up, bright makeup, and a charming and elegant demeanor.
Qi Chenyan rarely wore silver clothes, but a slim black suit, which made him look even more stern.
The emotion on his handsome face was unclear, like the frost mist in winter, faint but potentially concealing an invisible danger.
When the two of them entered the banquet hall hand in hand, everyone in the banquet hall subconsciously looked over at them.
Shi Xing knew some of the people here, but he had never seen some of them before.
Regardless of whether they had seen them before or knew them, these people seemed to want to come forward and say hello when they saw them.
But before anyone could get close to them, An Qinghui, who was in the main seat, spoke up, her voice as stern as ever: "Today is the Qi family's family dinner. What is the eldest daughter of the Shi family doing here?"
The air suddenly became tense, and everyone noticed something was wrong and quickly moved away to avoid being implicated.
Qi Chenchen's eyes were cold, "Xingxing is my wife. Why can't she come to the Qi family banquet?"
After saying that, she raised her eyelids slightly and looked at An Qinghui who was sitting in the main seat. She curled her lips and sneered: "Besides, if Xingxing can't come, then what are you, a member of the An family, doing sitting here?"
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall completely froze.
Several young masters and young ladies who followed in from outside: "..."
Damn, this sounds like a fight for power!
An Qinghui looked at Qi Chenyan with an even more stern look in her eyes. "You've really grown up. You actually spoke to me like this for a woman?"
The more Qi Chenyan acted like this, the more dissatisfied she became with Shi Xing.
"In short, I won't recognize this grandson-in-law."
An Qinghui gestured to the housekeeper beside her.
The butler's face was stiff as he handed the prepared documents to Qi Chenyan.
An Qinghui said, "I've already drafted the divorce agreement for you. Please sign it in front of all your uncles and aunts."
Shi Xing frowned, she knew that coming here would definitely cause a scene.
But An Qinghui's attitude was so resolute and terrifying that Shi Xing wondered why.
Is it really just because of her background?
Qi Chenyan didn't even look at the divorce agreement in his hand. He smiled coldly and didn't care. He pinched it with his fingers and tore it open. He tore it into pieces and threw it towards An Qinghui.
Fragments flew all over the sky. Qi Chenyan said in a cold tone, "If grandma insists on forcing me to do this, then I can only be unfilial. Grandma is old and confused. She can be provoked by just a few words. So, it seems that it is not suitable for grandma to still sit in this position now."
An Qinghui's face was stern, but her eyes remained calm: "Why, do you still want to attack an old woman like me?"
Qi Chenyan smiled and said, "I won't resort to violence, but Grandma is a Buddhist, so why not just recite Amitabha Buddha a few times in the temple to clear your mind. Grandma, do you want to go by yourself, or should I ask someone to invite you to go?"
After all, even if An Qinghui has been in power for many years, the Qi family is still the Qi family.
Qi Muci is not a vegetarian, and neither is Qi Chenyan.
After so many years, An Qinghui's so-called power has long been gone.
The father and son were willing to let An Qinghui "rule the country from behind the scenes" because they were willing to be filial to her.
But An Qinghui was about to do something foolish, and Qi Chenyan felt that it was time for her to step down.
As long as Qi Chenyan speaks, the Qi family bodyguards in the banquet hall will only obey him.
The atmosphere was already tense, and everyone was nervous and at a loss.
Shi Xing also realized it at this moment.
What Qi Chenyan meant by forcing the emperor to abdicate was real forcing the emperor to abdicate.
An Qinghui also saw Qi Chenyan's determination.
He completely disregarded everything for Shi Xing who was beside him.
But this also made An Qinghui believe even more that Shi Xing was a monster and a ghost.
That's why Qi Chenyan was so infatuated with her that he even ignored her, his grandmother.
An Qinghui gritted her teeth and said, "Since you are so stubborn, I will have no choice but to be the bad guy."
She suddenly shouted outside: "Masters, please come in."
Shi Xing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Turning around, I saw a dozen monks in robes slowly entering.
At that moment, Shi Xing grabbed Qi Chenyan's arm tightly.
What does An Qinghui mean by this?
Perhaps because she was reborn, she felt inexplicably panicked and scared.
Thinking of the day when she was reborn, Yan Bao treated her fiercely.
Qi Chenyan's face darkened as he hugged her in his arms, staring at An Qinghui with a sharp gaze, "What are you going to do?"
An Qinghui: "Of course, it's to let you know who should wake up between us!"
The monks entered the banquet hall and surrounded Shi Xing.
Shi Xing bit his lip tightly, feeling flustered.
Qi Chenyan hugged her tightly, his face grim, and said coldly to the bodyguard beside him: "Please ask the masters to leave."
An Qinghui slammed the table and stood up: "Let's see who dares!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "You really don't take an old woman like me seriously, do you?"
The air solidified to a certain extent.
The masters didn't know what to do for a moment. They looked at each other and then at An Qinghui.
An Qinghui asked them to perform a ritual to help the deceased souls to be reborn, but given the current situation, they didn't know whether they should continue.
Among them, there was a master who frowned and looked at Shi Xing with a slight movement of his eyes.
Just when the stalemate was about to break down, someone else came in.
The clattering sound of high heels broke the stillness in the room.
A woman in a white long dress came in. Her plain face was exceptionally delicate and beautiful, with her straight black hair flowing softly behind her.
Seeing the woman enter, everyone in the Qi family looked even more excited.
This ancestor actually came back. Today's show is so exciting.
An Qinghui's brows tightened slightly, "Why are you back?"
After saying that, he looked behind the woman, as if to see if there was anyone else there.
The woman walked towards her slowly, smiling gently, but the next second she picked up the red wine on the table and poured it directly on An Qinghui's face without hesitation.
Then he slammed the wine glass to the ground.
With a bang, the wine glass shattered and glass shards flew everywhere.
The woman raised her chin slightly and spoke in a soft and delicate voice, "I'm back to help you sober up."
The others turned their faces away silently, as if they had known that there would be such an explosive scene.
Shi Xing opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in surprise.
It took An Qinghui several seconds to react. Her expression, which had remained unchanged even after the fight with Qi Chenyan, suddenly became very ugly, and even her hands were shaking.
She wiped the wine off her face and gritted her teeth: "Lu, Tian!"
Lu Tian crossed her arms, and because of her height advantage, she looked down on the old lady.
She raised her chin, lowered her eyes, and smiled contemptuously: "Old woman, do you really think that after I die, the Qi family will belong to you alone?"
She turned her head and glanced at Shi Xing in Qi Chenyan's arms, her eyebrows slightly raised, "I didn't even bully my daughter-in-law, so how could an old woman like you have the right to bully her?"
