Chapter 34 Seeing blood on such a good day, what bad luck!
It was such bad luck that he saw blood on such a good day. His original joy was instantly diluted.
Chu Dingfeng shouted angrily, "Who is talking nonsense? Stand up!"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up.
Chu Dingfeng suppressed his anger and tried to appease everyone, "You all saw that the person shouting was hiding his true intentions and had ulterior motives. He must be trying to ruin the wedding banquet. Don't believe those lies so easily."
Jiang immediately followed suit.
Chu Yian turned his head and glanced in the direction of Lu Zhiran, his eyes full of warning.
He was certain that this was arranged by Lu Zhiran, because no one else would do such a thing except her.
Soon, the ceremony continued.
The eunuch spoke again, "Bow to heaven and earth——"
At this moment, a servant came running towards this side at a very inappropriate time, his face full of anxiety, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
With the experience of the previous two times, all the guests now turned their eyes to the servant.
The servant had intended to quietly step forward and deliver a message, but he suddenly received so much attention that he couldn't help but sweat on his face.
Jiang wanted to chase the man away, but Xiao Baozhu spoke first.
"You came here in such a panic, but what happened outside?"
She was simply a mouthpiece for everyone, asking questions that everyone wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask.
The boy's face was stiff and he looked at the person above him for help.
Xiao Baozhu: "Just say what you want to say. Is there something you can't say?"
We are all respectable people and would not ask such questions at someone else's wedding banquet, which would embarrass the host.
But Xiao Baozhu didn't care about these things. She had a reputation for being willful and reckless, and she was the beloved ninth princess. Even if she said something she shouldn't have, the master of the house could only endure it.
Chu Dingfeng and Jiang both looked unhappy, but they dared not say anything.
Chu Yian said coldly, "Hurry up and tell me what happened. Don't be so hesitant."
He wanted to see what tricks Lu Zhiran was going to play this time.
The servant gritted his teeth and spoke, "Yes, it happened in front of our house. Someone came to seek justice. One of the women bumped into the door and bled..."
The guests were in an uproar. It seemed that the person who had just spoken was not just talking nonsense.
Xiao Baozhu could no longer contain herself and was the first to stand up.
"I'll go take a look outside."
With Xiao Baozhu taking the lead, the other guests followed suit. Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the mansion. The originally lively and festive hall was suddenly shrouded in an awkward atmosphere.
Even the eunuchs and bridesmaids who had seen the world didn't know how to liven up the atmosphere.
The main thing is that they have never encountered such a situation before.
Chu Dingfeng and Jiang's mood took a sharp turn for the worse, reaching freezing point.
Zhao Shuning suddenly lifted the veil, revealing a carefully dressed face.
Her action once again caused an uproar among the guests, and Jiang and others even changed their expressions.
Chu Yian's tone was slightly depressed, "Shuning, we haven't finished the ceremony yet, why did you lift the veil yourself?"
Zhao Shuning said coldly, "Don't you understand what's going on? It's obvious that someone doesn't want our wedding banquet to go smoothly. If we don't sort out the issues outside, we can forget about having a proper wedding today."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were like a knife, coldly sweeping towards Lu Zhiran.
The guests also cast glances at her, overtly and covertly.
Chu Dingfeng said in a calm voice, "Let's go and see what happened! If anyone dares to do something behind this, I will not let them off easily!"
The incident happened suddenly, and trying to cover it up would not solve the problem. Everyone ran to watch the fun, and the Marquis' Mansion could no longer hide.
Everyone went to the mansion gate together!
There was chaos outside the mansion. When Jiang and others arrived, they saw a glaring red streak on the mansion's gate. Not far from the gate was a tall and strong woman lying there. Her head was wrapped in a layer of white cloth with blood seeping out of it.
Even though she was injured, the woman's fighting ability was still amazing. Anyone who approached her and tried to pull her away was knocked down by her punches and kicks.
In addition to this woman, there were seven or eight other people causing trouble, all of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Xiao Baozhu was so curious that she couldn't help but want to speak, but was stopped by the people next to her.
"Just watch, don't interrupt."
Xiao Baozhu actually shut her mouth obediently, only opening her eyes wide and raising her ears high.
Jiang recognized a few familiar faces among these people, and her expression immediately darkened.
"Zhang Quan family, Li Mu family, are you so bold as to come and cause trouble on the Marquis's wedding day?"
Chu Dingfeng looked at her, "Do you know these people?"
Jiang immediately said, "Their men are all managers in Zhiran's shop."
She didn't lie, she just didn't tell the whole truth.
These words were very pointed, and everyone immediately cast their suspicious eyes towards Lu Zhiran.
Chu Dingfeng looked at her gravely, "What's going on?"
Lu Zhiran looked confused, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know."
Chu Yian said coldly, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Now that my wedding banquet with Shu Ning has been disrupted, are you satisfied?"
Zhao Shuning didn't say anything, his face was full of hurt and grievance.
Lu Zhiran looked at him calmly, "The most direct way to deal with this matter is to ask them face to face about the whole story, rather than just accusing me of something without saying anything."
Jiang: "Zhang Quan's family, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
The woman with a head injury immediately knelt up and cried out at the top of her lungs.
"Madam, I'm not deliberately causing trouble, but I've been forced into a corner! The young lady ordered my husband to be arrested and brought before the authorities. I simply can't live any longer!"
The others also spoke up and echoed the woman's words.
"Yes, my husband has worked diligently under the Young Madam for three years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. How can you be so cruel, Young Madam? Lord, Madam, you must make the decision for us!"
Jiang felt dizzy when she heard this.
Lu Zhiran actually acted so quickly and arrested all his own people?
Good, good, very good! But she is still too young and too impatient!
Jiang said in an incredulous tone, "You, you ordered people to arrest all those managers?"
Lu Zhiran was confused at first, but then he suddenly realized.
"My daughter-in-law didn't order their arrest. However, with the precedent set by Manager He as a warning, she ordered her men to thoroughly investigate the accounts of Zui Qing Feng, Bai Bao Zhai, and other shops. If anyone was found to have embezzled money, they would be prosecuted according to the rules to clean up the mess. Now it seems that Zhang Quan and Li Mu are not entirely innocent. Their arrest is not unjust."
The women immediately opened their mouths and started howling.
"What an injustice! What a horrible injustice! My son, Old Zhang, is a very honest and upright man. He has never stolen a single penny from the young lady!"
"My husband is very honest and law-abiding. He would never take something he shouldn't take!"
