Between the lines of those letters, Lu Jingming complained that the emperor was harsh, ungrateful, and treacherous.
He lamented that despite possessing exceptional skills, he was forced to relinquish his military power and protect himself by remaining a minor official in a remote county due to the emperor's suspicion.
The Emperor was already very suspicious of the Lu family. Upon seeing the imperial robe and the letter, he was furious and seized the opportunity to eliminate the entire Lu family, imprisoning them all in death row.
However, because Lu Ziqian had just made a great contribution, they did not hold a grudge against him.
Lu Ziqian wanted to perform meritorious service to save people, but he died tragically on the battlefield.
Su Yujiao grew increasingly panicked. If she couldn't stop it today, the Lu family would be doomed.
She barely hesitated; all she wanted was to stop this catastrophic disaster as quickly as possible.
Whether for public or private reasons, and from a moral or rational standpoint, she would not stand idly by.
Su Yujiao ran frantically, thinking about how to stop the crisis.
The wedding procession was about to arrive at the Lu family's door, and she didn't have much time left.
Once Chen Yunniang's dowry is brought in, things could get complicated.
“Ink calligraphy and painting, come out!” she shouted behind her.
She figured Lu Ziqian would have someone secretly following her, even if it wasn't Mo Shu Mo Hua, it would be someone else.
Mo Shu quickly appeared behind her, but Mo Hua did not.
Upon seeing the ink book, Su Yujiao excitedly exclaimed, "Quick, find a way to stop the wedding procession!"
Why is that?
Su Yujiao pointed to the long row of dowry carriages, leaned closer to Mo Shu, and whispered, "There's a dragon robe hidden inside. Someone wants to frame the Lu family."
"Young Madam, what did you say? I can't hear you."
Su Yujiao raised her voice slightly, but Mo Shu still said he couldn't hear her.
Su Yujiao frowned: "You did this on purpose. How could you not hear me? How could you possibly hear that?"
Mo Shu clasped his hands in apology: "Young Madam, I did not hear what you just said clearly. May I ask you to repeat it?"
Su Yujiao was extremely anxious as she watched the wedding procession gradually disappear into the distance. How could she shout and yell about something like this in the street?
"Oh well, if you can't hear me, just forget it. Try to stop the wedding procession and buy us as much time as possible."
"Don't ask, just do it!"
Mo Shu hesitated for a moment, but still decided to do as instructed.
After Su Yujiao left, Mo Hua appeared: "Does she want to ruin this marriage?"
Mo Shu had also had such doubts, but when he recalled Su Yujiao's anxious appearance just now, he felt that she was not trying to ruin the marriage.
Something urgent must have happened!
"Do as I say."
"Find a way to stop the wedding procession."
"I'll go ahead and make the arrangements."
Mo Hua still hesitated: "Should we go back and report to our master?"
"The young mistress said the situation is urgent, so let's do as she says."
"Um."
Mo Hua went to the money exchange and exchanged a bag of copper coins. He scattered them in front of the wedding procession, and a crowd swarmed forward, instantly blocking the procession.
At first, the wedding procession was not driven away. Weddings are all about being lively, and the more people there are, the more blessings they will receive.
Afterwards, Mo Hua kept scattering peanuts, dates, and wedding candies, which made the onlookers very happy and caused the streets to be packed with people.
Mo Shu went to the next intersection and dumped several truckloads of excrement down the street, spreading it evenly across the entire street, leaving no place to step and creating a stench that drew a barrage of curses.
After finally passing through Copper Coin Road and Candy Road, the wedding procession arrived at Dung Road.
"What's going on? Why is there poop all over the road?"
"A few manure composting trucks just passed by here, and the drivers got into a fight for some reason."
"Several manure trucks were also overturned, which is why the road was blocked."
"You'd better take a detour; this place won't be cleaned up anytime soon."
"Yes, yes, it's unlucky to be covered in manure on such a joyous occasion."
The wedding procession was disgusted; even if it was auspicious, they didn't want to be covered in excrement.
"General, what should we do?"
Lu Ziqian, dressed in red, rode a tall horse. He had just seen Su Yujiao talking to Mo Shu.
Then came the incidents of throwing money with ink paintings and splashing excrement with ink calligraphy.
Jiaojiao must have been upset and was deliberately causing trouble.
He would let her have her way as long as it made her feel better.
"Take a detour!"
The steward was worried that it might delay the auspicious time, but he didn't say anything.
Anyway, this marriage was forced upon them by Chen Yunniang, and no one in the Lu family was genuinely happy about it.
So what if it's delayed? Nobody in the Lu family cares.
As for Chen Yunniang, who cares about her!
It would be better if this wasted time!
So, the butler, understanding perfectly, led the wedding procession along the most remote and longest route, taking a detour.
Seeing that things weren't going well today, and that she was about to have to take a detour through a secluded alley, Chen Yunniang felt anxious and uneasy.
Will something bad happen?
That box contains a dragon robe; if it's discovered on the way, even the Southern Frontier Kingdom might not be able to protect her.
But at this moment, sitting in the bridal sedan chair, she couldn't change anything; she couldn't expect everyone to step over a pile of dung.
Su Yujiao rushed back to the General's Mansion, exhausted from her journey. Today was Lu Ziqian's wedding, and her father-in-law, Lu Jingming, had also returned.
When Zhou Shi and Lu Jingming saw Su Yujiao rushing into the wedding hall breathless, they immediately came over to ask what was wrong, as she rarely seemed so anxious.
"Father and Mother, we cannot hold the wedding ceremony today."
The two elders exchanged a glance. Lu Jingming sighed, while Zhou Shi comforted him, "Jiaojiao, I know you're upset and don't want to force this marriage."
"But this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, and no one can change it."
"The Emperor and Empress will be coming to witness the ceremony in a little while, so you must not offend His Majesty."
"If we anger His Majesty, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Su Yujiao knew they had misunderstood, and she had no time for jealousy or rivalry right now.
"Father, please come to the study with your daughter-in-law. I have something important to say."
Lu Jingming nodded, and the two went to the study together.
Upon entering the study, Su Yujiao looked around and immediately asked, "Father, does your study have a secret room or hidden compartment?"
"What?"
"Jiaojiao, what did you say? Dad can't hear you."
Su Yujiao's expression changed. What happened?
Why can't anyone hear what she's saying?
She repeated it again, this time louder and slower, but Lu Jingming still couldn't hear her.
Su Yujiao simply walked to the desk to write it down, but the pen broke.
She changed to another pen, but the ink bled out and turned into big black dots.
She stared at the large ink blot on the paper and muttered to herself, "How could this happen?"
Can't express it in words or write it down?
Was she restricted by the plot?
As a character in the book, even if she knew the plot, she couldn't change the course of events.
"Father, did you really not hear what I just said?"
"Jiaojiao, why are you acting strange today?"
Undeterred, Su Yujiao used the same pen and paper as before, writing that she was thirsty, and the message appeared clearly.
Although Lu Jingming found her strange today, he still poured her a glass of water himself.
He heard about her affair with Lu Ziqian from his wife. Could this girl have gone crazy from anger?
