Xi Ning, the second daughter of Duke An Guo's residence, and the young master of General Qi's residence were engaged to each other right from their mother's womb.
When Xi Ning was born, she heard that the young master was successful in his studies and became a disciple of Gu Yanshan, a powerful official in the dynasty. His future was boundless.
She was quite satisfied with the marriage.
During the Chinese Valentine's Day temple fair, she went to a temple outside the city to pray, but accidentally got separated from her maid. She stayed alone in the mountains for an hour and saw something she shouldn't have seen.
After returning to the house, she went to Qi's house to cancel the engagement.
Because of this matter, Gu Yanshan, the teacher of Young Master Qi, personally came to Anguo Gongfu to apologize, with a sincere attitude and sincere words.
He also said that he would choose a husband for Xi Ning who was excellent in both literature, Taoism and military skills.
Duke An Guo thought it was a polite comment and didn't take it seriously at all.
But Prime Minister Gu was extremely serious. He would either come to Duke An's residence every now and then or invite Xi Ning to the teahouse for a chat.
After going back and forth, rumors spread in the capital that Gu Yanshan and Xi Ning were meeting.
Gu Yanshan: "I haven't married yet. If the second girl is willing, I can come to propose marriage tomorrow."
Xi Ning lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Sir, let me think about it."
Xi Ning also admired how Gu Yanshan found so many men in Shangjing City who were as short as winter melons, as skinny as sticks, with faces as long as donkeys, and as big as pregnant women. Her appetite had become bad these days.
Later, she heard someone say that when young Master Qi met someone in the mountains, it was his teacher Gu Yanshan who arranged for the girl.
Xi Ning raised her hand and pinched the tall and noble man's face, and said fiercely, "You still don't admit it?"
For Gu Yanshan, who is untainted by the clear breeze and bright moon, the only dark thing he has done is to resort to tricks after falling in love with his student's fiancée.
He began to plan for her, and finally stayed with her.
