Qi Ning arrived in the mission world yesterday when Gu Lixuan returned.

Therefore, she already knew about the mission of this world.

The revenge mission is undoubtedly to take revenge on Gu Lixuan and He Sisi.

The specific requirements are:

First, expose their affair and ruin their reputation;

Second, prevent He Sisi from recognizing her biological father, Wu Zhihua, and prevent them from living a good life;

Third, break one of Gu Lixuan's legs.

Since Qi Ning has transmigrated here, it's impossible for her to marry Gu Lixuan.

However, according to the first requirement, their affair must be exposed, which means that Qi Ning cannot immediately break off her engagement with Gu Lixuan, otherwise the affair between Gu Lixuan and He Sisi cannot be described as an "affair".

The most appropriate course of action would be to comply with Gu Lixuan's request, postpone their marriage, expose their affair, and then dissolve the engagement.

When Gu Lixuan asked, "Can we postpone my wedding with Qi Ning?" everyone present except Qi Ning and her three-year-old nephew Qi Chen changed their expressions instantly.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Qi Ning's older brother, Qi Yang, slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his dark eyes gleaming with hostility.

Qi Ning's mother, Wang Qiaofang, was not to be outdone and immediately began to verbally attack her in a shrill voice.

"Gu Lixuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Postpone it? Our Aning has been waiting for you for three years, and you still want to postpone the wedding? There are plenty of men who want to marry our Aning. If it weren't for waiting for you, she would have married long ago. You wouldn't even have a chance..."

Qi Yang was a notorious good-for-nothing in the village, with many bad friends. He had been getting into fights for years, but he only became more restrained after getting married.

Wang Qiaofang's nickname is Wang Qiaozui (meaning "Wang the Clever Mouth"), because she has a sharp and sarcastic tongue, and she is unforgiving whether she is right or wrong.

Gu Lixuan had long felt that his future brother-in-law and future mother-in-law would be difficult to deal with.

In comparison, Qi Ning's father, Qi Datian, and her sister-in-law, Li Suying, were already considered mild by remaining silent at this point, although their expressions were not pleasant either.

Not to mention the Qi family, even Gu Lixuan's parents wanted to come and beat him up after hearing those words.

"Gu Lixuan, what nonsense are you spouting!" Gu Lixuan's father, Gu Tianzhu, glared at him.

"That's right, Lixuan, are you mistaken? What do you mean by postponing the wedding? Now that you're finally back, you should be preparing to marry Aning right away!"

Gu Lixuan's mother, Wu Cuihong, nudged his shoulder and kept giving him meaningful glances.

Not only that, Wu Cuihong also smiled apologetically at the Qi family: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, A-Yang, please don't be angry. Please sit down. Li Xuan and A-Ning's marriage will not be postponed. How could we dare to delay A-Ning any longer? We can't wait to marry her home right away."

Gu Lixuan had anticipated that his words would be met with opposition, but he still frowned when he saw the strong reaction from these people.

They reacted so strongly just because he said he wanted to postpone the wedding. What would they do if they knew he wanted to call off the wedding?

"Dad, Mom..."

Gu Lixuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Wu Cuihong secretly pinched Gu Lixuan's thigh under the table and glared at him fiercely.

Gu Lixuan swallowed his words and subconsciously looked at Qi Ning beside him.

Qi Ning wasn't particularly agitated. She glanced around, then smiled at Wang Qiaofang and said, "Mom, say less."

Then, she tugged at Qi Yang's sleeve: "Brother, sit down too."

Wang Qiaofang and Qi Yang gave Qi Ning an annoyed look before one of them shut up and the other sat down with a stern face.

Seeing this, Wu Cuihong reached out and grasped Qi Ning's hand, which was resting on the table.

“Ah Ning, you’re so sensible. Don’t worry, Li Xuan is probably confused. With your aunt and uncle backing you up, we can discuss your marriage right away.”

Although Qi Ning still had a smile on her face, she pulled her hand away from Wu Cuihong's.

“Aunt, how could Lixuan be confused? He must have his reasons for saying that. Let’s ask him why he wants to postpone the wedding.”

Then Qi Ning looked at Gu Lixuan and asked, "Brother Lixuan, tell me, why do you want to postpone the wedding?"

Seeing the reactions of his parents and the Qi family, Gu Lixuan had already given up the idea and dared not say anything more.

But Qi Ning was so understanding that she even asked him for his reasons in a kind voice, which made Gu Lixuan feel hopeful again.

He hurriedly said, "I did it for Lu Yiheng. Think about it. Lu Yiheng and I joined the army together. Now only I have returned. He sacrificed his life. The Lu family will definitely be holding a funeral for him in the next few days."

“It’s not right for them to have a funeral while we have a wedding. We’re all from the same village, so we should consider their feelings to avoid making them resentful.”

Of course, Gu Lixuan's real reason for wanting to postpone the wedding was for He Sisi, but he couldn't say that reason, so he had to use Lu Yiheng as an excuse.

When he said this, his parents and the Qi family were somewhat skeptical.

Qi Ning seemed to believe him and immediately said, "Oh, I see. I knew it! Brother Lixuan wouldn't postpone the wedding for no reason. Brother Lixuan, you're right. You're very thoughtful!"

“Uncle and Aunt, Mom and Dad, I think what Brother Lixuan said makes sense. Why don’t we listen to him? I’ve already waited for three years, so I don’t mind waiting a few more months.”

Gu Lixuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Qi Ning to stand on his side and agree so readily.

"Ah Ning, you little brat!" Wang Qiaofang looked at her with exasperation.

Unfortunately, Gu Lixuan's reasoning actually made a lot of sense. They were from the same village, and it was indeed inappropriate for them to hold a wedding right after someone on the other side had just sacrificed their life.

However, Gu Lixuan's parents knew about his relationship with He Sisi and were somewhat skeptical of his words.

“Even so, there’s no need to postpone it for so long. We can start preparing now, and a delay of half a month would be about right,” Wu Cuifang said.

"Mom, since we've already postponed it, let's postpone it for a longer period of time. At least until after Lu Yiheng's seven-ninth day memorial, otherwise it won't look good. What will the villagers think of us!"

“Yes, Auntie.” Qi Ning nodded. “In my opinion, we should postpone it for three months. Three months is just right. What do you all think?”

“Yes, yes, three months is best, at least three months,” Gu Lixuan quickly agreed.

Afterwards, the Gu family and the Qi family argued with the two of them for a long time. If Gu Lixuan were alone, he definitely wouldn't be able to win against them, but with Qi Ning on his side, the others were helpless.

In the end, the matter was settled according to Qi Ning's wishes, and preparations for their wedding would be postponed for three months.

Apart from Gu Lixuan and Qi Ning, who were satisfied with the result, no one from either family was satisfied.

The Qi family, in particular, got up to leave after discussing it.

"Since it's settled like this, let's talk about it again in three months. We'll head back now," Qi Datian said, his hands behind his back.

"Hey, hey, father-in-law, at least eat before you leave," Gu Tianzhu said, trying to persuade him to stay.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Wu Cuihong said. “Father-in-law and mother-in-law, the food is all prepared. Please eat before you leave.”

Wang Qiaofang said sarcastically, "Don't keep calling us in-laws. We're not in-laws yet, and it's not certain whether we'll become in-laws in the future. Don't call us that too early!"

Gu Tianzhu and Wu Cuihong's faces stiffened, but the Qi family had already ignored their attempts to persuade them to stay and turned to leave.

As soon as the Qi family left, Gu Tianzhu kicked Gu Lixuan: "You bastard, tell me honestly, did you want to postpone the wedding because of that He family guy?"

"Yeah, is it because of He Sisi that you don't want to marry Aning anymore? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

How could they not know their son? It's likely that Gu Lixuan started plotting something again after seeing that He Sisi's fiancé, Lu Yiheng, was dead.

Gu Lixuan clutched the spot where he had been kicked and groaned, but refused to admit it.

"Mom and Dad, what are you saying? I've already said it's because of Lu Yiheng, it has nothing to do with Sisi!"

In the Gu family courtyard, the Gu couple were disciplining Gu Lixuan, while the Qi family members went straight back to Lihua Village after leaving.

As Qi Ning was leaving, she passed by the He family's house and glanced inside.

The gate to the He family's house was tightly closed, and He Sisi was nowhere to be seen.

Not far away, at the Lu family's house, white cloths for a funeral had already been hung up.

Although Lu Yiheng's parents are no longer alive, his uncle will still hold a funeral for his nephew.
