Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

She had already started thinking about the gifts in her mind. Shangguan Chu bowed to her and said in a gentle voice, "Madam, I won't bother you anymore. I still have to go and send off some wedding invitations."

"Okay, go ahead and be careful on the road."

After Shangguan Chu left, Wan Shufang also took Chen Changli out to pick out a suitable gift.

After all the wedding invitations were sent out, the marriage of Shangguan Chu and Xiao Jingheng was put on the agenda. When the people in the city and the students in the academy heard about it, they all sent their congratulations and asked for wedding wine.

In just a few days, the threshold of the county magistrate's mansion was almost broken down.

Seeing the happy expression on Shangguan Chu's face, Wan Shufang smiled and nudged her: "A Chu, your wedding is coming soon, and you haven't chosen your wedding dress yet. Why don't we go choose one together while the weather is nice today?"

"Okay, Achu is very happy to have my wife with me." Shangguan Chu held Wan Shufang's arm affectionately, and both of them had smiles on their faces, just like a close mother and daughter.

Shangguan Chu has no mother. After living together for these days, she has long regarded Wan Shufang as her own mother, but she has always abided by her duties and dared not overstep the boundaries.

As if she could see what the little girl was thinking, Wan Shufang chuckled and took her arm and went out together. They came to the largest clothing store in town and began to select fabrics and measure sizes.

For several days, the two of them worked together to prepare for the wedding, selecting things and decorating the new house. The atmosphere in the Xiao family and the county magistrate's mansion was extremely lively.

At the same time, Chen Changli was dealing with the remnants of the Liu family. He followed the clues along the way and found clues from the old accounts.

He immediately called the county magistrate over and pointed out the omission in the official document and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Hearing this, the county magistrate was terrified and hurriedly picked up the document to check. When he saw the name on it, he was in a trance and some memories came to his mind in an instant.

He looked at Chen Changli respectfully and said softly, "Sir, I remember this man seemed to have worked in the county government before, and held a high position, but he has been transferred now."

"That's right, but I've investigated the Liu family thoroughly and discovered that this person is involved in the Liu family's corruption case and is suspected of assisting in the transfer of stolen money. Moreover, he is a distant cousin of a powerful figure in the capital. For so many years, he has been bullying his way over there thanks to his powerful backing."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground: "Your Excellency, I am aware of this matter. I was not aware of it."

As he spoke, he began to kowtow. He had already been demoted for negligence, and if he was involved in such a big case, his life would be in danger.

Seeing the fear in the county magistrate's eyes, Chen Changli frowned and said calmly, "I don't blame you. I called you here just to give you some instructions."

"Just tell me, sir. I will do my best and will do my best." The county magistrate spoke in a firm tone and with a happy expression, as if the fact that he had escaped a disaster was written all over his face.

Chen Changli didn't bother to expose him. He simply handed over several documents and said softly, "Take these documents back and study them thoroughly. I will report the situation to the court and request a thorough investigation document."

"When the time comes, you will go and arrest the person with the official documents for thorough investigation."

"Yes, sir." The county magistrate looked serious, took the document and left the study.

He did not dare to waste time and spent the whole night reading the documents. He also sent people to investigate the situation of the man from that year.

Not long after, Chen Changli also came back with the court's thorough investigation documents. At this time, the county magistrate had already found out many things. He took the documents and rushed to the neighboring county. He captured the people before the people could react.

When the man was brought back to the county government office, the indictment was also made public. Chen Changli and the county magistrate were praised for their great contribution, and the people praised them in front of the public notice board.

The county magistrate's reputation, which had been damaged by the Liu family, gradually recovered. A few days later, on the wedding day of Shangguan Chu and Xiao Jingheng, the wedding was attended by many distinguished guests.

The entire county magistrate's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and gongs and drums were beating loudly, as the bride was escorted to the Xiao family.

Now, the people are very kind to Shangguan Chu's family. The streets are full of people who come to congratulate them. Everyone looks at the prosperous wedding procession with envy.

"The Xiao family really values Miss Shangguan, sending such a long team to pick her up."

"Miss Shangguan's family is quite wealthy. Look at her dowry. It's almost as big as a whole street. There's no end in sight."

"Miss Shangguan is beautiful, Mr. Xiao is handsome, and both of them are outstanding students in Qingyun Academy. They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

"Yes, yes, good things will be rewarded. They will live happily ever after."

The people were all smiling and expressing their opinions, but all of them were blessings. The streets were bustling with activity, and Xiao Jingheng and Shangguan Chu naturally heard the discussions of the crowd.

Although the two were not face to face, almost at the same time, a happy smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

In this joyous atmosphere, everyone was happy and contented, but they did not notice that a trace of resentment was hidden among them.

In the crowd, Liu Mochen covered his face with a black cloth and hid stealthily behind the people. Looking at Xiao Jingheng, who was riding on a tall horse with a smug look on his face, he felt uncontrollable jealousy in his heart.

"Xiao Jingheng, Shangguan Chu, I'm in jail, and you actually want to find happiness by stepping on my corpse? Oh, go to hell." He murmured, suddenly pulled out a dagger, and silently disappeared into the crowd.

He approached the newlyweds cautiously. Just as they were holding hands and about to walk into the Xiao family's house, Liu Mochen suddenly broke through the crowd, rushed out with a knife in hand, and stabbed the newlyweds directly.

The dagger emitted bursts of cold light, and Xiao Jingheng and Shangguan Chu's faces changed drastically. He subconsciously hugged the person in his arms and used his body to block the knife.

But the expected pain did not come. Only a scream was heard. Xiao Jingheng turned around in confusion and saw Chen Changli with a cold face, holding Liu Mochen's wrist.

The hand was twisted and deformed, obviously broken, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"grown ups…"

"Chen Changli, it's you again. You're the one who ruined my good deeds. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go." Liu Mochen's face was distorted, and he roared at Chen Changli with his teeth bared.

Everything happened so suddenly that the people were frightened by the scene. Now that they came to their senses, they were in an uproar.

"Isn't this Liu Mochen? The Liu family has fallen, but I didn't expect him to be so jealous that he actually tried to assassinate the newlyweds on their wedding day."

"Fortunately, the Duke was here, so he couldn't succeed."

"This is truly a scourge that will last for thousands of years. This kind of person should be executed as soon as possible."

Hearing the people's accusations, Liu Mochen became even more irritated, frowning and crying and laughing: "What do you know, she Shangguan Chu is pregnant with my..."

"Ah!" Liu Mochen wanted to say something about the child, but Chen Changli slapped him and his teeth were broken.

In an instant, his mouth was full of blood and he was in so much pain that he could no longer speak. Looking at Liu Mochen like this, Xiao Jingheng was also very angry and kicked him hard.

"Liu Mochen, you are truly crazy. Instead of reforming yourself in prison, you actually escaped from prison and attempted assassination."
