Fang Rushuang and Qin Shizhao agreed on the marriage between Qin Suling and Qi Qiyuan.

Qi Qiyuan's betrothal gift arrived before the Fourth Prince's betrothal gift.

Qin Suling sat in the front of the hall, with all kinds of betrothal gifts placed in front of her.

The two maids beside him, Jinxiu and Jinlan, were busy counting the generous betrothal gifts sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion one by one and registering them in the gift book for future reference.

Jinxiu stood in the corridor, holding one end of the gift book in her hand, while Jinlan stood at the entrance of the yard. The two had a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding.

However, when they unfolded the etiquette book, the astonishing length made the two maids stunned.

"Oh my god, this gift book must be three meters long, right?"

Jinxiu exclaimed, "Is there a mountain of gold hidden in the Zhenguo Mansion? I've moved it all here as a betrothal gift to the girl."

The gift book lists all the betrothal gifts in detail, even a piece of string is recorded clearly.

There was a dazzling array of gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures, especially the red coral that was taller than a person and the night-shining pearls as big as eggs, which were breathtaking.

Qin Suling sat at the table, registering the betrothal gifts, but she felt a little confused.

Each of these betrothal gifts was priceless. She had heard and seen them before, but now that she saw such generous betrothal gifts with her own eyes, she felt something was wrong.

"Girl, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Jinxiu noticed Qin Suling's abnormality and asked worriedly.

Jin Lan also asked with concern: "Miss, do you think General Qi has a bad temper and don't want to marry him?"

Qin Suling shook her head and said softly, "No, the Zhenguo Mansion is very good, and the marriage that mother and father chose for me is naturally the best."

She paused and asked, "Are there another pair of geese?"

Jinxiu nodded and explained, "It's etiquette to send wild geese when proposing a marriage."

Jin Lan also added: "It is difficult to catch a wild goose without hurting it. Most people don't want to waste their time and use a goose instead. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion really cares about the girl."

However, Qin Suling's doubts did not dissipate.

She couldn't understand why Qi Qiyuan was so nice to her.

After all, after her rebirth, she and he just met by chance.

Each of these betrothal gifts was enough to make any woman's heart beat fast, but she felt a little uneasy.

"Jinxiu." Qin Suling pinched a corner of the gift book, "I want to see General Qi."

Jinxiu heard this and showed a worried look on her face: "Miss, this is not a good idea, right? Even if the wedding date is set, it is not good for men and women to meet in private before the wedding."

Jin Lan, however, began to roll up the etiquette book cheerfully: "If you want to see me, then you can. What's wrong with that? I will find a way right away."

However, Qin Suling shook her head calmly: "The wedding is coming soon, so it's better not to meet."

She knew it in her heart, but now when she met Qi Qiyuan, she didn't know what to say.

You can't ask him where the betrothal gifts came from as soon as you meet him?

Is he attracted to her?

This is too frivolous and makes her seem self-indulgent, which is laughable.

So, Qin Suling continued to register the betrothal gifts with her head down, but her heart couldn't help but think of the man who was about to become her husband.

She didn't know why he was so nice to her, nor did she know what their future would be like.

But no matter what, she is ready to face the new life that is about to come.

Qin Suling sat quietly in her boudoir, with a breeze blowing outside the window. She took a deep breath, and a hint of determination revealed in her eyes.

She turned to the busy maid Jinxiu and whispered, "Jinxiu, prepare the pen and ink for me."

She had already thought about the content of the letter in her mind, and she knew that this was a letter that would change her destiny.

In the evening, Shoukangyuan was bustling with activity.

The Qin family, young and old, gathered together to enjoy the dinner.

Qin Suling sat at the table and felt that the noise around her was bustling, but it was as if there was a thin veil between her and them. She and they seemed to be from two different worlds.

She gently picked up a piece of pastry and savored it carefully, but felt it was tasteless.

She understood that although the people at this table seemed to be close to each other, they actually had their own ulterior motives, and she and them were just playing along.

After the meal, the aroma of tea filled the hall, and the elders of the Qin family began to chat about family matters.

Qin Shizhao mentioned the marriage of the two girls lightly, as if he didn't care about such a big event at all.

He was selfish and did not have much hope for his daughters' future. He only regarded them as tools for marriage.

When it comes to dowry, Qin Shizhao favors Qin Suyu without hesitation.

He predicted that the Fourth Prince would ascend the throne in the future, so he gave most of the dowry to Qin Suyu, while Qin Suling only got a small half.

This scene made Qin Suling feel mixed emotions.

However, at this moment, Old Madam Qin unexpectedly gave most of the dowry to Qin Suling.

She called Qin Suling lovingly: "Ling'er, come to grandma."

Qin Suling walked forward and sat obediently at the knees of Old Madam Qin.

She looked up at Old Madam Qin, her eyes wet, and her voice was filled with tears: "Grandma, Ling'er can't bear to leave you. Ling'er doesn't want to get married."

Madam Qin stroked her head gently, her eyes reddened: "You are just talking nonsense, the wedding date has been set, how can you not get married."

Although her tone was gentle, her attitude was firm.

Old Madam Qin continued to express her worries: "In the past, the master sent your sister to Zhuangzi with just one word. My heart was broken. I didn't want your sister to go, but I was afraid that you would be accused of being unfilial..."

Her voice became lower and lower, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances.

Old Mrs. Qin cried as she spoke, as if she wanted to pour all her love on this granddaughter.

Qin Su Zhiyu lowered her eyes and started crying, then she said obediently that she would come back often to serve her grandmother in the future.

At this moment, an indescribable atmosphere permeated Shoukangyuan.

Qin Suling's heart was filled with gratitude and reluctance. She knew that this farewell might be a farewell forever.

But she also understood that this was the fate she had to face.

Old Madam Qin wiped the corners of her eyes gently, her eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.

She slowly took out a warm jade from her arms. The jade emitted a faint glow under the sunlight, as if it contained endless years and stories.

She held the jade tightly and carefully put it into Qin Suling's hand.

"Ling'er, this is a family heirloom of our Qin family. This jade is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it has always been passed down to the next head of the family. But grandma loves you more and doesn't want you to suffer any grievances after marrying into the Zhenguo Mansion."

Madam Qin's voice was a little choked with sobs, and her eyes were full of love and expectation.

Qin Suling held the jade tightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She looked up at Madam Qin, her eyes full of gratitude and respect: "Grandma, I will always remember your love for you. This jade is so precious, I will definitely treasure it."

In her previous life, she never cherished this love because of the resentment in her heart, and always kept her distance from Madam Qin.

Now that she has been reborn, she has learned to compromise and cherish this hard-earned family relationship.
