Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 477 The Sister-in-Law in Uncle-Sister Literature 21

When Duan Yiyuan learned of this, he happened to be at Guangren Temple and had no plans to marry in the second half of his life.

Under those circumstances, he did not intend to drive Lin Suwan to the brink of despair, nor did he force her to relinquish her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duan family and leave the Duan family.

This is now the thing that Duan Yiyuan regrets the most.

“At that time, I was at Guangren Temple, intending to become a monk. I had no plans to marry in the second half of my life, so it didn’t matter to me that Lin was taking the title of my wife.”

“But things are different now. Now I intend to marry you, and I can no longer let Lin Shi occupy the title of my wife, otherwise you will become a concubine. Therefore, I must go back to deal with this matter.”

Duan Yiyuan looked at Qi Ning and said, "Ning'er, that's how it is. I didn't expect to meet you later, which led to such a big oversight."

After listening to Duan Yiyuan's explanation, Qi Ning remained silent for a while before speaking: "I see, then it's naturally not your fault."

Duan Yiyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you don't blame me."

“But,” Qi Ning added, “that Lin woman has held the title of your wife for so many years, she certainly won’t give it up easily.”

"Not to mention, to outsiders she is a pitiful woman who has been managing the household for so many years while waiting for her husband to come home, so outsiders will also side with her."

"What do you plan to do if she's unwilling to back down then?"

Duan Yiyuan naturally considered this possibility as well.

He gripped Qi Ning's hand tightly: "Trust me, I will handle this well and won't let you suffer any injustice."

In fact, what Qi Ning said about Lin Suwan was just a hypothesis, and things will definitely change in the future.

After all, Duan Yiyuan doesn't know Qi Ning's true identity yet, so it's a bit too early to talk about it now.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Of course I believe you."

Looking at Qi Ning's reliance and trust in him, Duan Yiyuan smiled and said, "Ning'er, I will not let you down."

After a brief pause, he added, "After we return to the capital this time, besides finding you family and dealing with the Lin family matter, I'm afraid His Majesty will allow me to stay in the capital."

“I used to be indifferent to officialdom, but since I’m going back to the capital and marry you, I want to give you a better life in the future. I can’t be as idle as I am now. It may be unavoidable for me to re-enter officialdom.”

Qi Ning naturally had no objection: "Okay."

The two leaned against each other and talked, and then they finalized the matter of returning to the capital.

The following day, Duan Yiyuan began to busy himself with preparations for returning to the capital.

He stayed in his study, wrote some letters and sent them out, and made other arrangements.

He didn't plan to bring Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo with him on this trip back to Beijing. After all, they were getting old and had been looking after his courtyard in Qingzhou. Their families were also in Qingzhou, so they would naturally continue to stay in Qingzhou to look after the courtyard in the future.

As for the people to return to the capital, Duan Yiyuan selected several young and strong men from the shop.

During those days, Duan Yiyuan was busy with various tasks, while Qi Ning and Aunt Luo stayed home with other people to pack their belongings.

However, they didn't have much luggage, and they packed it up in no time. Duan Yiyuan didn't ask her to do anything else, and just told her to rest and wait to return to the capital.

A few days later, everything was ready, and Duan Yiyuan and Qi Ning were about to set off back to the capital.

Aunt Luo handed several packets of pastries onto the carriage.

"Young master, Aning, these are some pastries I just made. Take them with you and eat them on the road."

Aunt Luo and Uncle Luo used to look after the yard here, and they didn't think much of Duan Yiyuan leaving. But now that Qi Ning has appeared and left again, Aunt Luo is inexplicably reluctant to let her go.

She and Uncle Luo stood by the carriage, their faces filled with reluctance, and they kept reminding the driver to drive carefully on the road.

Qi Ning took the pastries that Aunt Luo handed over to the carriage and said with a smile, "Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo, we should meet again soon."

Duan Yiyuan knew that Qi Ning had a good relationship with Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo, so he said to them, "You can rest assured and wait for news in Qingzhou. After Ning'er and I return to the capital to handle things and set the wedding date, we will send someone to pick you up to go to the capital for the wedding banquet."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo were overjoyed.

"Alright, then we'll wait to go and drink the wedding wine for the young master and his wife."

They immediately changed their address and began calling Qi Ning "Madam".

Qi Ning sat in the carriage, slapping Duan Yiyuan in embarrassment and annoyance: "It's all your fault for talking nonsense. It's not even close to being a done deal yet."

Duan Yiyuan took her hand and said, "How can you say that's nonsense? They're not wrong either. You'll be my wife sooner or later."

After exchanging a few jokes and saying goodbye to Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo, the two officially set off.

The journey from Qingzhou to the capital takes at least half a month, and there are many stops at post stations and inns along the way.

Duan Yiyuan was not in a hurry to travel, as he did not want to tire Qi Ning out, so he specifically instructed the driver to go slowly.

On their way back to the capital, when they stayed at an inn, Duan Yiyuan originally arranged for a maid to accompany Qi Ning in the room next to his.

But Qi Ning said she was scared. Duan Yiyuan thought that he was indeed worried about her, and since there was no need to avoid suspicion in their relationship, he stayed in the same room with Qi Ning.

Previously, apart from kissing and hugging Qi Ning, Duan Yiyuan had always adhered to the bottom line and had not crossed any boundaries, wanting to wait until they got married before taking the final step.

That night, Qi Ning and Duan Yiyuan squeezed into the same bed, and Duan Yiyuan only kissed her restrainedly.

He knew that Qi Ning's back was sore from sitting in the bumpy carriage for so long, so he reached out and rubbed her lower back.

"Are you tired? If your body can't take it, we can slow down."

Qi Ning leaned against him and nodded: "I'm a little tired. I want to go back to Qingzhou. I don't want to go to the capital anymore."

In reality, Qi Ning wanted to go to the capital more than Duan Yiyuan, since she still had a mission to complete there. But she deliberately said that, pretending that she didn't want to go to the capital.

You should pretend to be as unwilling as possible.

Duan Yiyuan chuckled softly upon hearing her words: "Don't talk nonsense again. Didn't we already decide to go to the capital? Why are you going back on your word?"

"But I'm tired," Qi Ning muttered. "I also miss Aunt Luo's cooking. I haven't seen Aunt Luo for a long time since I went to the capital."

Hearing her coquettish words, Duan Yiyuan's heart softened: "Isn't it enough that I'm with you?"

"It's good that you're with me, but I still miss Aunt Luo."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Aunt Luo along. But Aunt Luo is getting old, and her son and daughter are all in Qingzhou, as you know."

Qi Ning said sullenly, "I know."

Duan Yiyuan hugged her and kissed her forehead: "It's probably because you have amnesia now and don't know many people. You're only familiar with me, Uncle Luo, and Aunt Luo. After losing your memory, you've stayed in Qingzhou and made it your home. Now that you're leaving Qingzhou, you're naturally not used to it."
