Young Marquis Su also reacted quickly. His eyes widened, his face blazing with fury, like an angry little tiger. He immediately charged forward, his broadsword in hand. He pressed the tip of the blade fiercely against Butler Zhou's neck and roared, "You wicked villain! How dare you lay hands on my sister? You must be tired of living!" Young Marquis Su's voice was filled with anger and authority, but his young face now radiated a determination and courage that made no one dare underestimate him.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the wedding hall was extremely tense, as if the air were frozen. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Butler Zhou, worried about Su Jinli's safety and shocked and angry at Butler Zhou's crazy behavior. The emperor frowned slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a serious and majestic expression. He said in a deep voice: "How dare you act so presumptuously under my nose? Come, capture this lunatic!" At the emperor's command, the surrounding guards quickly surrounded Butler Zhou, like a group of well-trained cheetahs, surrounding him.
Steward Zhou watched the scene unfold before him, his madness gradually giving way to fear. The dagger in his hand trembled slightly, and a hint of fear and regret flashed across his eyes. He knew that his mad actions had not only failed to harm Su Jinli, but had instead pushed himself into an abyss of no return. He collapsed to the ground, the dagger in his hand dropping with a clang. He felt as if he had lost his soul, completely giving up the struggle.
Su Jinli looked at the collapsed Butler Zhou, feeling no pity in her heart. She knew full well that she could show no mercy to such a wicked and unscrupulous person. She raised her head slightly, looked at the Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, this man has evil intentions and has deliberately slandered me and attempted to cause harm. I urge Your Majesty to punish him severely." Su Jinli's voice was firm and steady, revealing an unquestionable resolve.
The emperor nodded slightly, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Su Jinli, don't worry, I will give you justice. Such a madman actually dared to do such evil deeds in broad daylight in the wedding hall of the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion. His crime is unforgivable. Come, take him to jail and await punishment!" The emperor's voice was majestic and loud, echoing in the wedding hall like a bell, making everyone feel the majesty and justice of the royal family.
The guards, obeying the order, quickly lifted Steward Zhou and dragged him out of the wedding hall like a pack of well-trained hounds. Steward Zhou gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, and the atmosphere in the wedding hall gradually calmed down. The guests expressed their admiration for the emperor's wise decision and cast glances of sympathy and support towards Su Jinli and Jiang Yan.
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan bowed to the emperor in thanks. Su Jinli said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming in person today to uphold justice for me. I am deeply grateful." The emperor waved his hand slightly, a kind smile on his face, and said, "No problem, this is my duty. Su Jinli, you are extremely intelligent. It is not easy for you to see through such a treacherous plot today. I believe that you and Jiang Yan will live in harmony in the future and contribute to the development of our Dajing Dynasty."
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with gratitude and determination. They knew that, despite the turmoil, it had been incredibly dangerous, it had ultimately been successfully resolved under the Emperor's auspices. And their lives, after this turmoil, would usher in a new beginning.
With the farce over, the wedding hall returned to a festive atmosphere. Guests gathered around to congratulate Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, as if the thrilling scene just now was just a brief nightmare. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan smiled and thanked everyone, their hearts filled with longing and anticipation for their future lives.
For the next few minutes, the wedding continued. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan walked hand in hand down the red carpet, completing the remaining ceremonies amidst the blessings of the crowd. Although this wedding had experienced many twists and turns, the emperor's personal presence and impartial judgment made it even more meaningful. And Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's love was tested by this turmoil, becoming even more unbreakable.
As night fell, the lights in the Zhuangyuan Mansion were brilliant. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan sat in the bridal chamber, recalling everything that had happened today, with a thousand emotions in their hearts. Jiang Yan gently held Su Jinli's hand and said softly: "Jinli, today's crisis was resolved thanks to your extraordinary intelligence. From now on, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side to protect you." Su Jinli looked at Jiang Yan, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes, and said: "Jiang Yan, with you by my side, I am not afraid of anything. Let's face everything in the future together."
Outside the window, moonlight streamed across the courtyard of the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. The turmoil surrounding their wedding became an unforgettable experience for Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, forcing them to cherish their bond even more. Throughout the history of the Dajing Dynasty, this story would be passed down through the ages, becoming a tale of justice triumphing over evil, inspiring future generations to bravely face adversity and uphold justice and truth.
