"Hmph! We can't just let this go! We have to think of another way to stop this marriage." A woman from Liu's maternal family said gritting her teeth, with a glint of unwillingness in her eyes.
However, their plan was doomed to failure. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, anticipating their reluctance to give up, closely monitored their every move. At court, Jiang Yan, leveraging his wisdom and connections, forged an alliance with like-minded officials to jointly address any potential crisis. Meanwhile, Su Jinli, back at the Prime Minister's residence, continued to amass evidence against the Wang family and Liu's maternal clan, preparing to strike a fatal blow at the crucial moment.
During this process, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's relationship grew deeper. They supported each other and faced this storm together. Every communication and cooperation made them understand each other better and made their love more indestructible.
As the days passed, the capital remained bustling and prosperous. The story of Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's street fortune-telling became a legendary story. The people were filled with anticipation for their wedding, wishing the newlyweds a happy and fulfilling marriage soon. However, the schemes of the Wang family and the Liu family's maternal clan were gradually thwarted by Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's clever tactics. Could they completely escape the entanglement of the Wang family and the Liu family's maternal clan and successfully marry? What would be the ending of this turbulent love story? The people of the capital were eagerly awaiting...
Meanwhile, Su Jinli wasn't content with simply debunking the rumors. She knew the Wang family and the Liu clan wouldn't let this go. If this hidden danger wasn't completely addressed, her and Jiang Yan's futures would remain jeopardized. So, she and Jiang Yan decided to take the initiative, digging deep into the Wang family and the Liu clan's misdeeds and making them pay for their actions.
Su Jinli dispatched his trusted aides to gather details about Wang Jiaerlang's gambling debts. After considerable effort, they not only found the IOUs but also several gambling associates willing to testify. It turned out that Wang Jiaerlang was not only addicted to gambling but also amassed a massive debt from loan sharks. To repay his gambling debts, he had even secretly sold some of the Wang family's assets.
Su Jinli also uncovered numerous issues within Liu's maternal family. One of Liu's cousins, while appearing to be a respectable gentleman, secretly colluded with unscrupulous businessmen, seeking exorbitant profits through illicit means. In their business dealings, they frequently defrauded other businesses, driving many small businesses bankrupt. Su Jinli gathered extensive evidence, including correspondence, account books, and witness testimony, confirming these crimes.
Jiang Yan also actively communicated with other officials at court, preparing to submit a joint petition to the Emperor implicating the Wang family and Liu's maternal clan in their crimes. He knew that only with the Emperor's help could these perpetrators receive the punishment they deserved. Through his efforts, more and more officials recognized the harm posed by the Wang family and Liu's maternal clan and expressed their willingness to support his actions.
Finally, on a beautiful day, Jiang Yan and other officials presented a memorial to the emperor implicating the Wang family and Liu's maternal clan. The memorial detailed their crimes, with irrefutable evidence. The emperor, furious, immediately ordered a thorough investigation.
Upon hearing the news, the Wang family and the Liu family's maternal clan were thrown into chaos. They had never imagined that Su Jinli and Jiang Yan would be so capable, not only dispelling the rumors but also finding evidence against them, forcing them into a desperate situation. Faced with the Emperor's thorough investigation, they could no longer argue and could only await legal sanctions.
As the investigation deepened, the crimes of the Wang family and Liu's maternal clan were exposed one by one. Upon learning the truth, the people of the capital spurned them. Wang Erlang, saddled with gambling debts and the sale of his property, was expelled from the Wang family and became a destitute on the streets. Liu's cousin, convicted of commercial fraud, had all his property confiscated and was imprisoned. Other members of the Wang family and Liu's maternal clan were also punished accordingly.
The turmoil finally ended with Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's victory. The people of the capital praised their wisdom and courage, and Su Jinli's reputation as a lucky charm for her husband grew even more resounding. Amidst the blessings of the crowd, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's wedding took place as scheduled. On the wedding day, the capital was festooned with lights and vibrant colors, and the atmosphere was bustling with activity. Su Jinli, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown and a phoenix coronet, looked as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. Jiang Yan, riding a majestic horse and clad in a red wedding robe, looked remarkably heroic. Witnessed by the crowd, they entered the marriage hall hand in hand, beginning a new life of happiness and contentment. From then on, their love story became a legend in the capital, passed down through generations...
