The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
Chapter 496

Chapter 496

The room became increasingly lively, and everyone’s faces were also beaming with joy.

Old Madam Qin looked around at these relatives and inwardly sighed. Today, the rest of the Qin family comes, including the third family. Only Qin Sheng and others did not come; it seemed that they wanted to completely break their ties with the eldest family.

Truth be told, she originally held a glimmer of hope. Hoping to use today’s happy occasion to reconcile Qin Sheng and others with Qin Jiu and her siblings…now, this glimmer of hope has burst like bubbles.

This was also good, she said to herself.

She was getting older, and since she fell “ill” due to Madam Su’s work, her health has deteriorated significantly and she may not have had a few more years to live. So, she naturally hoped that her family would be harmonious, but since they could not even pretend to be harmonious, she could only give up.

After experiencing the events that had occurred with Madam Su, Qin Zhun, and Qin Xin, she finally understood that nothing could be forced.

Old Madam Qin did not show anything on her face, as she talked affectionately to Qin Jiu and other female relatives.

The scene was joyous from start to finish.

After having lunch with the Qin family, Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi bid farewell. However, halfway through their journey, Qin Jiu realized that they had left the town instead of returning to their residence or going to Shuhaizhai.

“Where are we going?” Qin Jiu asked curiously.

Gu Zezhi said, “Offer incense.”

At this time, people believed in Taoism and Buddhism. After Qin Jiu came to ancient times, she had long been accustomed to it and thought of it as accompanying Gu Zezhi to offer incense.

When they arrived at the Guanyin Temple, the carriage stopped.

The unique aroma of incense candles from the temple came with the wind, piercing into Qin Jiu’s nose. In front of them was an ancient temple, with clusters of lush tree crowns protruding from the bright yellow walls and swaying against the cold wind.

The two walked into the temple, and some people walked out of it. As they walked, there were two girls talking.

“Sister Wang, I am coming all the way here today hoping to beg the goddess of mercy that she will hear my heart’s plea.”

“Sister, don’t worry, Guanyin Bodhisattva here is the most effective in seeking marriage. Look, my second uncle’s cousin Li’s marriage has been extremely complicated but after coming here last month to apply for a marriage, the marriage was finally settled in a few days.”

“I’ll take your word for it then.”

As they spoke, the two of them walked past Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi. Seeing that the two wore the same green lotus-colored clothes, Qin Jiu had her hair styled like a married woman, looking pretty and charming. At first glance, she could already tell that they were newlyweds, so she could not help but take another look at them. Feeling that they came out from a painting, one was handsome, and the other was pretty. The couple walked hand in hand, like stars and moon, complementing each other with elegance and radiance, looking perfectly matched.

The two girls could not help but whisper at each other, and words could be vaguely heard such as “newlywed”, and “fulfilled” drifting in the wind.
