Yuqiongyin

In the main hall of Yuchi Mansion, the lights were on brightly, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

In the main hall, the dazzling crystal chandelier illuminates the entire hall as if it were daytime. The huge stone pillars are carved with exquisite Yuchi family emblems, highlighting the family's long history and supreme glory. The elders of the family have already taken their seats.

The person sitting in the first seat was old man Yuchi, Yuchi Chenning's grandfather. Although he was already gray-haired, his eyes were still sharp, revealing the vicissitudes and wisdom of having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Sitting next to them were Yuchi Mulian and Zuo Xuan, and they seemed to be treating each other with respect.

Sitting on both sides were Yuchi Chenning's uncles and aunts, some of them had serious expressions, some had scrutinizing eyes.

The moment Yuchi Chenning and Rong Yunqiu stepped into the main hall, all eyes were focused on them.

"Grandpa, mother, father, and all the elders, I'm here." Yuchi Chenning bowed slightly.

The old man Yuchi, who was sitting at the head of the seat, nodded slightly and looked at Rong Yunqiu, "Is this the young man?"

Rong Yunqi stood tall in front of everyone, wearing a tailor-made dark gray suit. The fabric of the suit had a delicate luster, like the stars in the night sky, low-key and luxurious.

The slim fit perfectly outlines his tall and slender figure. His broad shoulders seem to be able to bear all the weight, and his straight legs make his figure more agile.

At the collar of his suit jacket, an exquisite silver bow tie was meticulously groomed, like a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly, adding a touch of elegance to him.

"Rong Yunjie meets everyone from the Yuchi family."

He saluted according to the royal etiquette of Yan State, with his right fist clenched and placed on his left chest, which symbolized the protection of the heart and loyalty.

With his head slightly lowered and his eyes pious, he maintained this posture for several seconds, as if time had stopped for his respect.

He expressed the highest level of respect to the elders of the Yuchi family with the exclusive etiquette of his country's royal family. Every subtle movement demonstrated the majesty and sacredness of royal etiquette, and also showed how much he valued this meeting.

Old Master Yuchi nodded slightly, his eyes were sharp, and he spoke slowly, "Young man, the Yuchi family has strict family rules and traditions. Marriage is not just the union of two people, but also the marriage between families. If you want to marry my granddaughter, you must assume the corresponding responsibilities and abide by the family rules of the Yuchi family.

The Yuchi family has strict rules, and the first one is loyalty. Loyalty to the family, loyalty to your partner, this is the foundation of our existence. If you have second thoughts, the family will not forgive you easily. "

Rong Yunqi looked determined and bowed respectfully again, "Grandpa, I understand, I will do it. Since we are married, I will be devoted to her and loyal to the Yuchi family as I am to the royal family of Yan, without any falsehood."

Zuo Xuan looked at Rong Yunluo below. His face was as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture, with clear contours and hard yet soft lines. His hair was neatly combed back, revealing a smooth and full forehead, showing a mature and steady temperament.

Overall, he looked like a prince who had walked out of an ancient aristocratic painting. His every move showed elegance and dignity. When facing the elders of the Yuchi family, his calm demeanor was quite good.

"Hmph, that's nice to say."

An uncle of the Yuchi family snorted coldly, "Our Yuchi family has served the royal family in the military for many years and has made great achievements in battle. All family members have the responsibility to defend the country. Although you are not of our Yuchi family, if you want to become one of them, you must be aware of this."

"Yes, although I was not born in the Yuchi family, since I am married to her, I will share the family's honor and disgrace."

Mr. Yuchi continued, "Family interests come first. When it comes to business decisions and family development, personal interests should not be sacrificed for public interests."

"Yes." There was no hesitation in his eyes, showing full sincerity.

Old Master Yuchi examined it for a moment, "I hope you remember what I said today. If you violate it in the future, even if Shen Ning protects you, the family will never tolerate it."

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's continue the dinner."

*

The atmosphere of the dinner was still somewhat solemn. Rong Yunqiu and Yuchi Chenning found a moment of peace and came to the windowsill.

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the flowers and shrubs in the garden, covering them with a layer of mysterious silver gauze. The water droplets of the fountain sparkle under the light, outlining a quiet and beautiful picture.

Yuchi Chenning leaned lazily on the windowsill and breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head slightly to look at Rong Yunling, a faint smile on her lips, "You performed well tonight."

Rong Yunqiu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a warm smile, "I didn't expect the rules of the Yuchi family to be so strict, but this also shows why the Yuchi family has a deep foundation."

As he spoke, his eyes turned into the distant night, as if he was lost in thought.

Yuchi Chenning followed his gaze and said, "Yes, I have been influenced by these family rules since I was a child. Although they are strict, it is these rules that have allowed the Yuchi family to prosper until now. They are both a constraint and a protection."

She frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to feel too stressed. You can just stay at my place from now on."

"There is pressure, but more of it is understanding. I promised your grandfather that I would abide by these family rules. But what I didn't say is that I want to be someone worthy of you, and I want to integrate into this family."

Yuchi Chenning was silent for a while, only hearing the rustling sound of the flowers in the breeze outside the window.

Rong Yunqi broke the silence, "I know that our marriage is not just a result of our affection. The interstellar situation is complicated now, and various forces are constantly fighting. For me, our marriage is to use the military and political influence of the Yuchi family, or the power of the interstellar empire, to annihilate the forces that invaded Yan State.

For you, it is the order of the Interstellar Empire and the family. Yan State has invested heavily in scientific and technological research and development, and has achieved many groundbreaking results. These confidential documents are all in the memory chip in my brain.

Since our genetic match is so high, the Interstellar Empire and the Yuchi Family will not give up. Marriage is inevitable, and having children is a matter of time."

Yuchi Chenning gently shook the red wine glass in her hand. She knew about Yan State's achievements in scientific research and development, but she did not think of this level at the time.

I didn't expect that he would tell me that there are many conflicts of interest involved...
