Duke Shao sighed again. “Zhongxi was twenty years old when he was conferred the title of king. He had already proposed to Qi Yin in private. Did he say when he did it?”

The High Duke’s wife smiled and said, “I’ve secretly asked around. It seems that on the day Zhongxi turned nineteen, the two of them bowed to the moon in front of the river beside the barracks. All these years, Zhongxi deliberately wore red and even made Qi Yin wear red. Everyone already knew that they were a couple in private. That’s good too. We just have to hold a proper wedding later. There’s no need for formal matters.”

“The wedding must be held.” Duke Shao said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue and the others in the room did not have any expressions. Only Madam You was extremely unhappy even though she tried her best to control her expression.

“So what if I’m from a small family? If it weren’t for my father, you would have died long ago!” Madam You scolded Shao Boqi and angrily dragged her daughter away.

This mother-in-law was too much. She embarrassed her in public today!

It had never happened before!

“Mother! Mother!” Shao Naicen and Shao Feicen quickly chased after her.

In the courtyard, the High Duke’s wife saw it but did not care. She had deliberately let Madam You hear it. It had been so many years, but her eldest daughter-in-law’s personality had not changed at all. Her exhortations were all ignored. She had had enough of it. She hoped that her eldest daughter-in-law would become a qualified matriarch in the future. She might as well hope for her granddaughter-in-law to not be the same. After all, her eldest grandson, Shao Naicen, was almost fifteen. In a few years, he would be able to get married.

On the other hand, Shao Boqi laughed a few more times and explained to Jiang Yue and the others in a low voice, “Her father was a minor official in the Ministry of Rites. Once, when the Emperor was worshiping the heavens, I was in charge of the safety of the area around the sacrificial altar. I encountered assassins, and her father warned me to be careful of the sword on my back. In the end, I was almost killed by those assassins. It was all thanks to her father’s warning that I was able to survive. She was her father’s only child. I thought that I owed her a life, so I had to take care of her daughter no matter what, so I went to marry her. Actually, my mother didn’t really want her to be of equal status with us. There were so many other ways to take care of her. My mother wouldn’t have agreed to let me marry her back then. She even accompanied me to everything. The main thing is that her personality has been like this for so many years, but she still refuses to change. My mother couldn’t stand it and was a little afraid of her. That’s why she implicated Qi Yin.”

These things, after being reborn, Xue Yan more or less knew a little of it all.

However, Jiang Yue only found out now.

No wonder Shao Boqi, the heir to the title of Duke, was only married to the daughter of a seventh-grade official.

Given Shao Zhongxi’s personality, he didn’t say anything to Qi Yin even though he went back to his room to bring her back. He was still as cold as ever.

Qi Yin was very afraid, and her body was trembling. Shao Zhongxi was even colder, but he held Qi Yin’s hand even tighter. It was as if Qi Yin would disappear in the next second.

Shao Zhongxi only let go when he was in front of High Duke Shao and his wife.

Qi Yin was even more afraid. She cried and wanted to kneel before the High Duke’s wife, but the High Duke’s wife quickly held her up with a smile and forbade her from kneeling. She explained everything and even apologized to her. She even said that she would hold a wedding for her and Shao Zhongxi. This made her instantly dumbfounded. Tears were still gathering in her eyes, slowly dropping one by one.

If this was a dream, she didn’t want to wake up.

After the meal, Qi Yin was still in a daze.

He still had to meet the people from the Ministry of Rites in the afternoon, because he was going to ascend the throne tomorrow. Therefore, Xue Yan didn’t stay any longer and returned to the palace with Jiang Yue and Xue Sifu.
