Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Qin Fangsui was not surprised to hear Dong Jialin's answer. She took out the contract that she had prepared long ago and signed it with him.

After the contract was signed, Qin Fangsui left. Dong Jialin was still a little dazed holding his copy of the contract in his hand.

After returning home, he went to find Dong Jiafu.

"Afu, I made a decision without discussing it with you in advance. Please don't be angry when you hear this."

Dong Jiafu looked puzzled, "What made Second Brother so nervous?"

Dong Jialin showed her the deed, "Today, Miss Qin came to the restaurant to find me and wanted to rent the shop opposite to me, saying that it was to make up for the losses she caused to the teahouse and bookstore a few days ago. If I don't rent it, she will rent it to someone else or use it for her own business. I agreed."

Dong Jiafu glanced at the contract casually and smiled, "I thought it was a big deal. Let's talk business, second brother did the right thing."

"You don't mind if I do business with her?"

"How could that be? Since my second brother rented that shop, he must have his own plans."

"Afu understands me," Dong Jialin said the reason why he did this, "I want to use that shop to open an inn, right across from the restaurant, and I can take care of both. When the inn is open, the guests can eat and stay here."

Dong Jiafu nodded. "Second brother, this is a good idea, but you just opened a restaurant, so you probably don't have the money to open an inn in the short term, right?"

"Indeed, but I don't want to miss this business that comes to my door, and I don't want Miss Qin to open another restaurant opposite my restaurant. She actually admitted that she had this idea and wanted to open it on the same day as my restaurant."

Dong Jialin simply couldn't imagine the scene of two restaurants opening face to face at the same time. Although he had confidence in his restaurant, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"Even though I don't have enough money to open an inn now, I still want to prevent this from happening. At most I'll have to pay more rent, which is bearable. After all, that shop is really good. When I have enough money, I can open the inn."

I didn't expect Qin Fangsui to have such a malicious idea at the beginning, but her actions today were also quite surprising.

Dong Jiafu didn't think about it any more, "Don't worry about the money, second brother. I will help you."

Dong Jialin waved his hands when he heard this, "No, no, you're getting married soon, how can I use your money anymore?"

"I'm really going to get angry if my second brother says that," Dong Jiafu pretended to be unhappy, "Does it mean that if I get married I'm no longer a member of the Dong family and no longer your sister?"

"Of course you are," Dong Jialin explained quickly, "but by then you will be different from now, with Prince Cui around."

"I understand what Second Brother means. Don't worry. If I say it's different, it's only because I will be richer by then." Dong Jiafu joked, "The money is in my hands anyway, so why not give it to Second Brother? Just like the bookstore, I will also have a share in the inn. Second Brother will definitely not let me suffer a loss, right?"

"As for Cui Qiyan, you don't have to worry about him, my second brother. He won't care about these things, but I will tell him in advance."

Dong Jialin agreed, "Okay, Second Brother will definitely help you earn the money back!"

The days passed by in busyness, and soon it was the day of Dong Jiafu and Cui Qi Yan's wedding.

Unfortunately, Dong Jiabai still cannot come back. He wrote a letter and sent it along with a gift a few days ago.

Xu Yiwan couldn't help feeling sad after reading the letter. Dong Jiabai couldn't make it back for such an important day for Dong Jialin and Dong Jiafu.

Feng Jiyuan, Lu Siheng and Du Manting also sent gifts from Yangzhou and Xizhou respectively.

Dong Jiafu got up early, put on the wedding dress sent by Cui Qi Yan, and put on her makeup in front of the mirror.

After she was dressed, Xia Zhi helped her up and looked at her with his eyes wide open.

"The girl looks really pretty today. My husband will be very happy to see her."

At this time Xu Yiwan, Fang and Jiang Ru came in from outside.

As soon as Fang entered the room, she exclaimed, "Oh my God, our Afu is so beautiful in this outfit."

"Godmother, you're here." Dong Jiafu just felt that this body was too heavy and restricted everywhere.

Xu Yiwan stepped forward and took her hand, her eyes slightly red, "Time flies so fast, even Afu is getting married, and she will belong to someone else's family in the future..."

"Mother, today is Afu's big day, we should all be happy." Jiang Ru came over and advised.

Fang also tried to comfort her, "Yes, Sister Xu, the Duke Ding's Mansion is not far from here. If you miss Afu, just go and see her. It's not like my Jiyuan, which is so far away. It takes several days to go there."

Dong Jiafu said gently: "Don't be sad, mother. We agreed that I will come back to see you and father often in the future."

"Well," Xu Yiwan nodded, holding back tears and admonishing, "If you suffer any grievances over there, don't swallow it silently. Come back and tell mother, and I will take care of it for you. Of course, you must respect your elders after you pass away, live a good life with your son-in-law, and accommodate each other."

"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter has taken note of it."

The mother and daughter talked a lot in the room last night. Xu Yiwan had said these words many times, but Dong Jiafu still listened carefully.

"Madam, it's time to go to the living room and wait. The son-in-law will be here soon--" Mrs. Guo urged outside with a happy face.

"Sister Xu, please go quickly and don't miss the auspicious time."

Fang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Xu Yiwan's eyes, then took her away.

Dong Jiafu also covered her head with a red veil and waited for Cui Qi Yan to come and pick her up.

As the sounds of music and dancing got closer, the Dong Mansion suddenly became lively.

Cui Qiyan was wearing a red wedding dress and riding on a maroon horse. His handsome face and slightly raised smile caused the young girls and wives who were watching to talk a lot.

After passing the door-blocking ceremony, Cui Qiyan successfully met Dong Jiafu. The two of them bowed to Dong Jingtang and Xu Yiwan together, and then walked out hand in hand.

There was a sea of ​​red in front of her eyes, and Dong Jiafu could only see Cui Qiyan's figure. When he took her hand, all kinds of emotions surged into her heart.

She was going to leave her home and live with him in another home. She was reluctant, but as long as he was by her side, she was willing.

"Afu, be careful where you step." Cui Qi Yan whispered beside her.

He put Dong Jiafu into the sedan chair, and soon the sedan chair was lifted up steadily.

Xu Yiwan prepared a decent dowry for her and brought it with her to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Before the sedan chair arrived at the door, the sounds of firecrackers, gongs and drums were heard.

"Get off the sedan chair——"

The sedan chair landed, a slender hand reached out, and Cui Qiyan said softly: "Afu, we are home."

Dong Jiafu put her hand in his palm, and the next moment he carried her out of the sedan chair.

"Wow——" There were exclamations all around.

Dong Jiafu quickly hugged Cui Qiyan’s neck tightly. Fortunately, she was wearing a veil so no one could see her.

Cui Qi Yan chuckled and carried her into the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
