Don't you think this is rather interesting?

Madam Qin is so concerned with saving face that she suffers for it; she actually ordered takeout to prepare everything she needed.

The shopkeeper, looking at the items that needed to be prepared, said, "You have far too many things to prepare; it will probably take some time."

The manager looked at him and said, "What we want is speed, the faster the better. As for money, that's not a problem."

The manager immediately opened the chest behind him, which was full of silver.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, our speed is definitely fast, we guarantee your satisfaction."

After the manager left, the shopkeeper said, "This Madam Qin seems quite fond of her Darling Duan! Let's get ready quickly."

In just half an hour, everything was ready.

Madam Qin quickly changed into her phoenix coronet and wedding gown, and the betrothal gifts were piled high.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Who exactly is trying to ruin my plans? If I find out, I will definitely not let her get away with it."

Young Master Duan also ran into trouble; he woke up to find his home gone.

Young Master Duan got up from the ground and said, "My home? This can't be! Am I dreaming?"

The women around him got up and asked, "Darling Duan, what's wrong?"

Not far away, everyone was pointing and whispering, "Isn't the Duan Clan getting married today? Why is he still fooling around with several women?"

"Who knows? Oh dear, is this a scene we should be watching?"

"Why not take a look?"

"But wasn't the Duan Clan's house perfectly fine yesterday? How come it's gone?"

Young Master Duan stared blankly around and asked, "Where am I? Where did I come from?"

The crowd's lips twitched as they said, "Young Master Duan, weren't you supposed to be going to fetch your bride today? Why are you only getting up now?"

Duan Beishan got up and asked, "What time is it now? Butler, where is the butler? Where is the wedding procession I asked you to prepare?"

The butler got up from the ground and asked, "Where am I? Where is our house?"

Duan Beishan sighed and said, "Forget about the house, let's go fetch the bride now."

The butler stumbled out, and soon the wedding procession arrived.

Duan Beishan couldn't find any wedding clothes, so he could only wear yesterday's clothes and ride a tall horse towards the Qin Clan.

People on the street pointed and whispered, "I heard that the former Madam Qin, Shen Yumei, divorced General Qin."

Why did they divorce?

"I heard it's because Shen Yumei cheated on her husband and got together with Duan Beishan."

These common folk are quite gossipy. Zhou Wanwan, sitting on the rooftop and looking at the scene below, said, "Isn't it interesting? You actually get to see another man come to marry your wife."

Qin Shuo said expressionlessly, "Actually, you didn't have to make me come."

Zhou Wanwan said, "Oh dear! I think you should still come and see, because I think you're a bit too love-struck."

Qin Shuo took a sip of his drink and said, "Who would believe it? That I, Qin Shuo, have fallen to such a state is truly laughable."

Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly:

"Actually, I think it's pretty good, since you know the truth now."

If you didn't know the truth, how miserable would your life be!

Qin Shuo gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes! How tragic would it be if I only found out when I die that these children weren't mine!"

Then everyone heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and then Duan Beishan walked into the house and said, "Yumei, I've come to pick you up."

Shen Yumei, dressed in a red wedding gown, looked at Duan Beishan and said, "I heard you had quite a wild time last night!"

Duan Beishan was taken aback and said, "What does this mean? I don't understand."

"Are you still pretending? Where were you last night?"

Duan Beishan said:

"I'm at home, honey. I don't know what happened last night either."

Someone moved our house away and even brought us several women. I was terrified when I woke up this morning.

Shen Yumei looked at him, still somewhat doubtful, and asked, "Really?"

Duan Beishan pointed to the sky and swore, "Of course it's true! If I dared to lie to my wife, may I be struck by lightning..."

Shen Yumei quickly covered his mouth and said, "Pah, pah, pah, why are you saying these things? Now that we have no house, where are we going to get married?"

Duan Beishan sighed and said, "Why don't we stay here for now? We can buy a house later when we have more money."

Shen Yumei sighed helplessly, "That's all we can do now. All my things were taken away today, I have nothing left."

Duan Beishan's eyes widened. "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Yumei gave a bitter smile and said, "Overnight, everything in the house was gone, except for this house. I don't understand what happened."

Duan Beishan asked in surprise, "Are we being watched? Could it be Qin Shuo?"

Shen Yumei shook her head and said:

"He's been locked up for the past two days, in the back courtyard."

There are dozens of guards at the gate; no matter how skilled he is, there's no way he can escape.

"So who did it?"

How could Shen Yumei have known?

The two forced themselves to go to the front to perform the wedding ceremony. Today, all the guests invited were relatives and friends from the Shen Clan and Duan Clan.

Old Madam Duan looked at Shen Yumei with a face full of dissatisfaction and said, "Yumei! You're more than ten years older than our Beishan!"

Shen Yumei nodded and said, "Yes."

Old Madam Duan said:

"You're getting too old; our Duan Clan can't end."

Once you two are really married, you'd better work hard!

You're about my age, I don't know what my son sees in you.

Shen Yumei looked embarrassed, and the people around her pointed and whispered, "What a case of an old cow eating young grass! I wonder where General Qin is."

"That's right! Where is General Qin?"

Shen Yumei's face stiffened as she said, "Alright, let's hurry up and get married."

The ceremony began soon after.

After the couple completed their wedding ceremony, they entered the bridal chamber.

Shen Yumei was sitting on the bed when Qin Changkong's wife walked in and said, "Mother, you're having your wedding ceremony at home now, so you won't have to live here afterward, will you?"

Shen Yumei looked at her and said, "What? Can't I stay here? This is my home, I can stay here whenever I want."

Qin Changkong's wife said, "What I mean is, don't you have a wedding house? Why do you still have to live at home? It's quite inconvenient."

Qin Changfeng's wife also came in and said:

"Mom, it's actually quite lively when everyone lives together."

But now that this matter has become such a big fuss, I think it's better for us to live separately.

They were also concerned about their own reputation.

Many people outside are saying that Shen Yumei is promiscuous and shameless, and that she has found a man who is more than 10 years younger than her.

If word gets out, they won't be able to handle it.

Their children are still young. If they are implicated, it will affect their future marriage prospects, whether they get married or have their daughters married off.

Shen Yumei said, "Don't worry! I own plenty of houses. Why would I need to live here and put up with your nonsense?"

The two daughters-in-law then smiled and said, "Mother, please eat something first! We didn't mean it that way, please don't take it to heart."

After Shen Yumei finished eating, Young Master Duan came over, and the two spent a sweet time together.

Qin Shuo was so angry he gritted his teeth. "Adulterers and adulteresses!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

Don't you think this is quite interesting?

You're watching it like a melodramatic soap opera. Do you really think those two will have a good ending?

Qin Shuo sighed and said, "But I really think they're living a pretty good life."

Zhou Wanwan took out a chicken leg and tossed it to Qin Shuo, saying:

"Okay? I think this is all an illusion. How about we make a bet?"

I bet they'll start fighting within a month.
