Another Spring Festival arrived, and this year the Sigu Sect had an abundance of joyous occasions. Jiang Yunzheng and Qiao Wanwan set an auspicious date for their wedding: the eighth of May. Meanwhile, Li Xi became the fourth of the brothers to wed, with his ceremony scheduled for the sixth of June.
Qiao Wanwan decided to be married within the Sigu Sect, and their wedding banquet would also be held there. Neither the Jingyu Sect nor the Jiang family had any objections; feeling deeply honored, they sent the betrothal gifts to the Sigu Sect early, delivering them directly into the hands of Qiao Wanwan’s paternal grandmother, Lady Liang. The old lady turned around and handed every single item straight over to Qiao Wanwan.
The only person with objections to this arrangement was Qiao Wanwan’s father. Yet, under the resolute insistence of the now-illustrious Second Director of the Sigu Sect’s Baichuan Academy and the firm demands of his own mother, he had no way to alter the matter.
