Chapter 57: Marriage Decree



Wait! This is all too much of a coincidence!

Is it possible that Tang Chuyao is plotting something?

But now he didn't want to think about these things. Gu Huaifeng flicked his sleeves and left angrily, and his walking posture was a little weird.

Tang Chuying's eyes were red, and she looked at Tang Youze and said softly, "Father, Ying'er has gone back first!"

Tang Youze looked at her with indifference, without the concern he had in the past.

At noon, bad news came from Wen Yongbo's mansion. The old lady died of poison. Aunt Mei, who had a deep relationship with her aunt, also died...

The court doctor Zhang Hong was sued to the government office by Wen Yongbo's mansion for poisoning the old lady. After an investigation, Zhang Hong was sentenced to beheaded and executed in court!

Tang Chuyao listened to Du Juan's vivid description of these things without much reaction.

Last time, the old lady enjoyed her old age, and Aunt Mei's status rose as Tang Chuying married into Xuanping Marquis's mansion and became a princess.

This time, those who have harmed her mother and her people will get the retribution they deserve!

After this day, a series of changes occurred in Wenyongbo's mansion.

When Tang Youze was directing his men to clean up Rong Jintang, a servant came to report that someone had come from the palace!

Without time to think, he immediately asked someone to call Tang Chuyao and Xu Rulan, and he went to the gate of the mansion to greet them first.

He didn't expect that Gu Qingchen would appear with Eunuch Liu!

When Tang Chuyao and Xu Rulan came out together, Eunuch Liu read out the imperial edict.

By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:

I have inherited the order of heaven and continued the great foundation. I have been working hard day and night to promote the cause of the world. Now there is Gu Qingchen, the regent of Daqi, who comes from a famous family, has both talent and virtue, and has made outstanding contributions. She is a good talent for the country and I commend her. There is also Tang Chuyao, the granddaughter of the general who guards the country and the niece of the imperial concubine. She is virtuous, beautiful, intelligent, gentle and dignified. She is a leader among women and has good character and appearance.

I think of the two of you, a man of talent and a woman of beauty, a match made in heaven, a perfect couple. To make this auspicious marriage possible and to demonstrate my benevolence, I grant Gu Qingchen and Tang Chuyao the right to marry, and choose an auspicious day for the wedding. I hope that after marriage, the two of you will live in harmony, respect each other, treat each other with respect, live in harmony, and become a good story for our dynasty.

All wedding matters shall be carefully handled by the Ministry of Rites to ensure that the wedding is solemn, festive and complete. The announcement shall be made to the whole country and all shall be informed.

So ordered!

Tang Youze felt like good luck had come from heaven!

One second ago, he was furious at Mei Xiao'e's betrayal, and the next second, he felt that enormous wealth was beckoning him!

He no longer cared about Tang Chuyao's identity, even though the imperial edict stated that she was the granddaughter of the general who defended the country, and the niece of the imperial concubine.

From then on, he became the regent's father-in-law! !

Thinking of this, Tang Youze felt excited and secretly delighted.

After Eunuch Liu finished reading the imperial edict, Tang Chuyao received it. Eunuch Liu quickly helped Tang Chuyao up and said, "Congratulations to Miss Tang first!"

Tang Chuyao motioned to Du Juan behind her, and Du Juan immediately stepped forward and took out a purse and handed it to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu was flattered and waved his hands quickly, saying, "No, no! How can we take your money!"

The Regent stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Since the princess has given you a reward, Eunuch Liu, you don't have to be polite!"

"Oh, you think too highly of me. I will obey your command and accept it!"

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!" Eunuch Liu smiled and put away his purse. "Then I will return to the palace to report!"

Tang Chuyao bowed slightly, and Eunuch Liu turned around, saluted to Gu Qingchen, and left.

"Your Highness, would you please come into the mansion and have a cup of tea?" Tang Youze looked at Gu Qingchen with a smile on his face.

Gu Qingchen looked at him coldly and said, "Two people died in your house today. I think your master will be very busy. I won't bother you any more!"

Tang Youze immediately thought about this and was a little annoyed that he had just invited him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The prince said no, then I will go and get busy first." Then he turned to look at Tang Chuyao and said with a smile, "Yao'er, please entertain the prince for your father."

After Tang Youze and Xu Rulan were about to turn around and leave, when suddenly a disheveled man appeared at the door and shouted, "Nan'er!"

Tang Chuyao curled the corners of her mouth, Shopkeeper Zhang is here!

Tang Youze was afraid of disturbing Gu Qingchen, so he quickly stepped forward and scolded, "Where did this lunatic come from? He actually caused trouble in front of the Wen Yongbo Mansion!"

Then he looked at the servant beside him and said sternly, "Hurry up and drag him away!"

The servant immediately stepped forward to drag Zhang Wei away, but Zhang Wei seemed to have endless strength. He broke free from the servant's restraints, rushed to Tang Youze, pointed at his nose and cursed, "Murderer!"

"The murderer is killing people!"

Tang Youze turned his head to look at Gu Qingchen, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and called a few servants with a guilty conscience to drag Zhang Wei away...

Gu Qingchen ignored him, glanced at Tang Youze, said nothing, then said something to Tang Chuyao and left.

Xu Rulan suddenly seemed to react and said, "Master, that person just now looked a little familiar..."

Tang Youze looked unhappy and said unhappily, "He's a lunatic. How could Aunt Lan know him?"

Xu Rulan explained, "Master, I don't know that person either, but he looks familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before."

Tang Youze ignored Xu Rulan's words. Xu Rulan seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly, she asked in surprise, "Master, don't you think that man looks a bit like Zhang Hong?"

Tang Youze recalled it and suddenly found that the man looked a bit like Zhang Hong, so he asked someone to bring the man into the mansion.

Tang Chuyao ignored all this, glanced at Xu Rulan, and took Du Juan back to Luoying Pavilion.

The next morning, Tang Chuyao came back from sword practice and saw Du Juan waiting for her anxiously.

"Miss, you are finally back. Something big has happened!" Dujuan said anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Tang Chuyao poured herself a cup of tea.

"Miss, there is a blood test in Wutong Courtyard!"

Tang Chuyao didn't realize it at all. She had given Xu Rulan some advice yesterday, but she didn't expect Xu Rulan to be so powerful and act so quickly!

Tang Chuyao put down the teacup and asked Du Juan to help her wash up before slowly heading towards Wutong Courtyard.

Before I even entered the Wutong Courtyard, I heard waves of boys crying, "Wuwu..."

“Daddy, don’t…”

When Tang Chuyao entered the yard, she saw a slightly fat boy of about eight years old crying loudly. He was hugged tightly by a servant, and another servant was holding a silver needle and pricking his finger.

Seeing some blood coming out of the fingertips, the servant hurriedly squeezed a drop of blood from Tang Chu Nan's fingers into a bowl.

There was a man lying on the ground in the yard, unconscious. His blood was also drawn and dripped into a bowl.

Then the two drops of blood merged!

For a moment, no one in the entire Wutong Courtyard dared to speak except Tang Chu Nan crying.

Tang Youze's eyes were full of anger and his face was sinister. He cursed, "Bitch!"
