The Qi family in the capital.
Today was the engagement day of Qi Wan 'er, the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and Zhao Hongkun of the Zhao family. According to the customs of the capital, the engagement banquet should be held at the bride's house first, and then they would get married at the groom's house after a while.
Qi Wan 'er had been so angry these days. Originally, she just wanted to go home to see her mother and then meet Qin Haodong after a few days.
But she did not expect that Master Yuan Tianren would suddenly appear and say that she was a rare blessing for her husband. Then she got married to Zhao Hongkun out of thin air.
She originally wanted to escape secretly, but her cultivation was sealed by Qi Yulong, who had been on guard. Now she was no different from an ordinary person. She was watched by the two bodyguards at the door, and there was no chance for her to escape.
She wanted to contact Qin Haodong, but there was no reliable person around her. There was no phone number, and no message could be sent out.
She was very upset, but the Qi family was full of joy.
Zhao Hongkun was the leader of the third generation of the Zhao family and the most popular heir of the family. After the marriage between the Qi family and the Zhao family, the alliance between the two families would be unbreakable, which would be of great benefit to the development of the Qi family in the capital.
The Zhao family was also very enthusiastic about this marriage. On the one hand, the relationship between the two families would be more stable after the marriage.
On the other hand, Qi Wan 'er was not only beautiful, but also a rare blessing for her husband, as Master Yuan had said. After marrying such a daughter-in-law, the Zhao family would definitely prosper, and it was even possible for them to become the leader of the Seven Great Families.
Under the high attention of the two families, although it was only an engagement banquet today, it was very lively. Guests and friends were invited, and all the famous families in the capital received the wedding invitation.
Qi Yulong stood in front of the gate of the Qi family in a neat suit, welcoming the guests with a happy face. The old master, Qi Guofan, was sitting in the lobby in a festive Tang suit.
Although the other families were not happy about the marriage between the Qi family and the Zhao family, they had to show their respect. Therefore, the leaders of the other five families were all present.
In addition, influenced by the recent news that Qin Zongheng had become a Saint, Chu Xuanyue's status had risen. This time, she was specially invited, and her status was the same as that of the masters of the other aristocratic families.
After receiving the wedding invitation, she didn't want to come because she didn't want to face Chu Shanhe, the head of the Chu family. Later, under the persuasion of Ye Qing, in order to establish a good network for her son when he returned to the capital in the future, she finally came.
However, after arriving at the Qi family, she still avoided Chu Shanhe and sat on the other side.
Chu Shanhe also saw his daughter and sighed with a complicated expression. In the end, he didn't speak.
In the dressing room, Shi Zhixuan said to Qi Waner, "Girl, hurry up and do your makeup. It's almost time."
Today, Qi Waner wore a colorful cheongsam, but her expression was very cold. She just sat quietly in the chair without saying a word.
"Mom, I've already told you and Dad that I already have a boyfriend. Why should I get engaged? Is it because of that old Taoist's nonsense? "
Shi Zhixuan sighed and said, "Girl, if you want to blame someone, blame your mother. I shouldn't have taken you to have your fortune read. But now that things have come to this, we can only accept our fate. The marriage of a girl from a big family is never decided by herself."
Qi Waner said angrily, "I don't believe in fate. If I did, I would have died a long time ago. My life was saved by Haodong. If I want to marry, I will only marry him. I won't marry anyone else."
Shi Zhixuan said, "Daughter, I know you are suffering, but this matter was decided by your grandfather. We can't change it. And I think Zhao Hongkun is a good boy. You won't feel wronged marrying him."
"No, the family is the family and I am me. I decide my own marriage. Since the whole Qi family is forcing me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
A trace of determination flashed across Qi Waner's face. She said to the makeup artist next to her, "Come on, do my makeup."
Shi Zhixuan said worriedly, "Child, don't do anything stupid …"
Qi Waner said, "Mom, I will decide this matter myself. You don't have to worry about it."
At this moment, the banquet hall of the Qi family was full of guests.
As the leading actor today, Zhao Hongkun was wearing a black suit. His tall and straight figure showed strong confidence.
As the core figure of the third generation of the Zhao family, he could be said to be the chosen one. Moreover, he had performed extremely well since he was a child. He had reached the fifth level of the Supreme Power Realm before he was 30 years old.
This kind of achievement was enough for him to look down on his peers from other aristocratic families. He was the leading figure of the younger generation in the capital.
In the Zhao family, Zhao Hongkun was also highly valued by the family master, Old Master Zhao. He had obtained a certain degree of decision-making power in family affairs. He had the right to make decisions unless it was related to the life and death of the family.
As an outstanding man, the matchmakers who had come to the Zhao family to propose marriage over the years had almost broken the threshold. There were also countless ladies who had thrown olive branches to him.
However, Zhao Hongkun refused all of them. At most, he was just playing around. He thought that those women were not worthy of him until Qi Waner appeared.
In his opinion, with his ability and talent, he was simply a match made in heaven with Qi Waner, who had a rare life of bringing good fortune to her husband.
He had already surpassed the younger generation in the capital. If he got Qi Waner's help, his future achievements would be limitless.
Originally, he had proposed to the Qi family because of Yuan Tianren's words, but when he saw Qi Waner's peerless appearance, he was immediately shocked. After the two families set the marriage contract, he could wake up with a smile even in his dreams.
If a man wanted to succeed, the woman behind him was absolutely extremely important. Because of this, the words "bringing good fortune to her husband" were full of endless temptation for everyone. There were countless people who came to the Qi family to propose marriage, but only Zhao Hongkun had the last laugh.
Just as he was getting more and more proud, an old Taoist came in from outside. It was Yuan Tianren, the most famous Xuanshu master in the capital.
Yuan Tianren was about 60 or 70 years old. He had long hair and a white beard. He was wearing a cyan Taoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal.
Yuan Tianren was extremely popular in the capital. Wherever he went, he would be surrounded by people and countless people stood up to say hello to him.
After seeing him, Zhao Hongkun immediately went up to him and said, "Master Yuan, you're here. I want to thank you for your guidance."
Yuan Tianren reached out to fix his beard and said in a dignified manner, "I don't dare to be greedy. It's also your luck to be able to bring good fortune to your husband, which is rare in a thousand years."
Zhao Hongkun said respectfully, "In the end, I still have to thank you for your guidance. I will never forget your great kindness. When you have time, I will thank you alone. Please do me the honor."
"You are worth teaching. Your future is boundless."
Yuan Tianren nodded his head in satisfaction and walked inside after saying those words.
Zhao Hongkun turned around and saw Qi Waner, who had finished putting on makeup, walking into the hall leisurely.
She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, which vividly showed off her beautiful figure. Her long hair was tied up high, revealing her white neck and shoulders. She was like a peacock spreading its tail, and the dazzling light illuminated the whole hall.
Ever since he saw Qi Waner once, Zhao Hongkun was amazed every time he saw her. He smiled slightly, cheered up and walked toward his future wife.
"Waner, you are so beautiful today."
Zhao Hongkun walked to Qi Waner and reached out to hold her hand.
After today's engagement, they would become husband and wife. In the eyes of such an aristocratic family, the engagement ceremony was much more effective than the marriage certificate.
As long as today's ceremony was completed, Qi Waner would be Zhao Hongkun's wife.
But Qi Waner obviously didn't think so. She took a step back slightly and Zhao Hongkun failed to grab her hand.
She said coldly, "Don't touch me."
Zhao Hongkun smiled and said, "Waner, we are going to be a family soon. Why are you so shy?"
Qi Wan 'er said, "Zhao Hongkun, let me tell you, I'm not willing to attend this engagement ceremony today. I have someone I like. Even if you can get my body, you can't get my heart."
After a pause, she said to Zhao Hongkun, who was stunned, "Besides, you may not be able to get my body."
Zhao Hongkun didn't care about Qi Waner's refusal. He smiled and said, "Waner, I know you have feelings for me now, and I understand it very well. But I believe that as long as we become husband and wife, I will definitely show you my excellence and make you fall in love with me."
Qi Waner shook her head and said mercilessly, "It's useless. No matter how hard you try, you can't compare with him."
Zhao Hongkun said proudly, "Waner, although I don't know who that guy is, he only met you a few days earlier than me. In terms of excellence and talent, I don't think he can compare with me in any case."
Qi Waner smiled coldly and said, "You think too much. He is ten thousand times better than you in every aspect."
Zhao Hongkun smiled indifferently. He didn't take Qi Waner's words seriously at all. In his heart, he was the direct descendant of the Zhao family in the capital. How could there be a young man who was better than him?
"Waner, today is our big day. I don't want to argue with you. Please believe me, I will definitely move your heart in the future."
"That's impossible. I only have him in my heart."
Qi Waner turned around and seemed to want to leave. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned around and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. I'm already his woman now."
Zhao Hongkun didn't care about what she had said before, but this sentence suddenly hit his sore spot. For an extremely proud man, it was undoubtedly a great insult for his fiancée to suddenly say that she had slept with another man!
He clenched his fists and the blue veins on his forehead bulged.
Qi Waner saw his expression and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. He wanted to take her as his wife, so she would make him unhappy!
