Chapter 226: Quite Philosophical
The sixth day of the second lunar month is the wedding day of Ma Ruyu and Zhou Jiaming.
Chu Qinshu and Xiao Hulu watched the video of their wedding in the space.
He visited the Ma Mansion for a while, then the Zhou Mansion, and was very busy and happy.
"Master, you are so happy today. Is there something going to happen that Xiao Hulu doesn't know about?"
When Little Gourd saw his owner swinging on the recliner with her short legs raised, he knew that she was in a good mood at the moment.
But since Ma Ruyu and Zhou Jiaming are getting married, there is no reason for the owner to be in a good mood.
"Marriage is a happy event after all, so we should enjoy it together."
Chu Qinshu was still shaking her short legs. It would have been even more comfortable if she had a bowl of milk tea and popcorn.
"How was Zhou Hongjing released?"
Little Gourd was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Hongjing in the video.
It remembered that Zhou Hongjing was detained for tax corruption, so how could he be released?
"Prince Ning rescued him. The Supervisory Department found out that the tax money was only deposited into the accounts but not into the treasury."
Chu Qinshu swung her little feet leisurely and said heartlessly.
Little Gourd: “…”
Why don’t you understand this?
If the money is credited to the account but not stored in the warehouse, isn't it still Zhou Hongjing's responsibility?
How did Prince Ning rescue him?
"Look, little gourd, they are going to get married."
Chu Qinshu didn't notice Xiao Hulu's confusion, but happily told it to watch the fun.
"What's so good about a wedding ceremony? In the past thousand years, I have not only seen many people get married in wedding ceremonies, but also many people get divorced. No matter how festive a wedding ceremony is, it can't beat the chaos of life."
What Xiao Hulu said is quite philosophical.
But once you listen to it, you can tell that it is imitating the accent of its previous owner.
"Hehe, no matter if things will be a mess in the future, it's enough to have a good time now. Isn't it good to live in the present?"
Chu Qinshu continued the conversation seemingly casually, but her eyes were fixed on the video without blinking.
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
"Bow to your parents!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber!"
Following the ceremonial director's loud shout, Zhou Jiaming was carried into the bridal chamber by Ma Ruyu.
"Xiao Hulu, switch to Matthew Li's video."
Chu Qinshu looked at Ma Ruyu and Zhou Jiaming who were leaving and reminded Xiao Hulu.
Whoever's video you click on will have that person's screen displayed.
She and Xiao Hulu ordered Ma Ruyu and Zhou Jiaming one after another, and watched the wedding in detail.
But once they were sent to the bridal chamber, their drama came to an end.
The next highlight should be on Matthew Li and Zhou Hongjing.
"Master, rest assured, I won't watch scenes that are inappropriate for children."
Little Gourd thought that Chu Qinshu didn't want it to see other people's bridal chamber, so she asked for the change of host.
But as soon as it clicked on Matthew Li's name, a group of soldiers appeared in the video.
The leader was none other than Yu Jinming, the Minister of the Dali Temple, with Lin Fu following beside him, and behind them were the men from the Five Cities Military Department.
The large group walked a distance and then left a group of people to stand guard, and all of them looked serious.
Matthew Li looked at the visitor with a puzzled look on his face, as if he couldn't imagine what kind of bad luck would happen to him on such a happy day.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
Following Lin Fu's loud shout, Matthew Li finally reacted.
"Eunuch Lin, this is..."
Matthew Li really wanted to ask Lin Fu what was going on.
But seeing that Lin Fu had a stern face, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Master Ma, you should quickly gather all the masters and servants in the mansion and prepare to receive the order."
Lin Fu glanced at Matthew Li, said only this one sentence, and then stopped talking.
No one from Yu Jinming or the Five Cities Army said anything.
Upon seeing this situation, the officials who came to the wedding had already put down their cups.
The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and the Five Cities Military Commander appeared at the same time, either confiscating property or arresting people.
This is known to everyone who holds a position of some standing in the court.
They actually wanted to leave, but they also wanted to see who in the Ma Mansion had committed a crime and what crime they had committed.
Emperor Yongping and Chu Chengyi had been secretly investigating what Matthew Li had done in Yuzhou and never mentioned it to anyone in the court.
So far, only Yu Jinming and his six murderous messengers, several people from the Ministry of War, and North City Commander Jiang Baiqing know the truth.
Of course, Prince Ning's people had already found out the truth, but he knew he could not protect Ma Xiuli, so he gave up on him early on.
Since Ma Xiuli cut off contact with Yuzhou, he also gave up going to Yuzhou to negotiate.
Although he also had the dream that the affairs of Yuzhou would not be discovered by him, he never stopped transferring property to retain the heirs of the Ma family.
A quarter of an hour later, people from the Ma residence arrived at the front yard one after another.
Matthew burned some incense in front of the incense table, then knelt in the courtyard with his family and servants, ready to receive the emperor's order.
Ma Ruyu and Zhou Jiaming, who had just been sent to the bridal chamber, were also kneeling in the crowd.
The two of them were dressed in red, which made them particularly eye-catching.
"Master Ma, why do we feel that the people in the Ma Mansion are not equal?"
Lin Fu glanced at the people kneeling in the yard and asked Matthew coldly.
"Eunuch Lin, you may not know that several of my grandchildren went out to play on New Year's Eve and were kidnapped by kidnappers. I even went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case, but they searched for so long and still couldn't find my grandchildren."
When Matthew Li mentioned this matter, he became furious.
Among the guests, Lu Yigeng, the deputy envoy of Jingzhao Prefecture, had a guilty look in his eyes. Can he be blamed for not being able to find anyone?
The eighteenth prince was kidnapped, and the Jingzhao Prefecture searched for him for several months but could not find any trace of him.
Those little kids from the Ma mansion were kidnapped just over a month ago, so it's normal that they can't be found.
"But from what we can see, the number of people is still wrong."
Lin Fu glanced at Ma Ruyu, then at Zhou Jiaming beside him, and couldn't understand what was going on in Zhou Hongjing's brain.
Why would you push a good daughter into the fire?
If he stayed in Zhou's house, he might be able to survive.
"Eunuch Lin, my eldest son got divorced. My former eldest daughter-in-law couldn't bear to part with her children, so she took them away. My eldest son has already filed a case with Jingzhao Prefecture. They are no longer part of my Ma Mansion."
Matthew's explanation was frank, but everyone who heard him spoke with disdain.
Especially the female relatives, those wives wanted to glare at Zhou Jiaming.
The affair between Zhou Jiaming and Ma Ruyu had long been a laughing stock in Beijing.
She was abducted at the city gate, and the person who came to rescue her slipped and dropped her into Ma Ruyu's carriage.
Ma Ruyu, adhering to the principle of not taking advantage of an opportunity, almost raped her in the carriage.
There is something even more outrageous, saying that Zhou Jiaming saw that the person who rescued her was handsome and wanted to get close to him, so he threw her into Ma Ruyu's carriage.
......
Although neither Lin Fook nor Matthew Lee mentioned Zhou Jiaming.
But Ma Ruyu divorced just to marry Zhou Jiaming as his wife.
In order to become the legal wife, he drove away someone else's original wife who he had been married to for more than ten years. Which legal wife here would look down on such a man?
"Oh? In that case, it was I who was negligent. Now that everyone is here, I will announce the decree."
Lin Fu glanced at everyone present again before taking out the imperial edict and slowly opening it.
