The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

After running around outside the palace all day, he finally got the exact information from the Ministry of Rites that the emperor had approved it and the wedding date was set on that day.

When he returned, he was stopped at the door by Lu's father.

Lu Yuande's face turned pale. He dragged him forcibly and was about to go to the paper-making shop to find Qin Miaoxi to argue.

Lu Yuande's hair stood on end in anger, and he lowered his voice to roar, "Look at the kind of person you want to marry. She actually dared to lay hands on your future mother-in-law. Such an unfilial person should be killed for the sake of justice. You must cancel this marriage immediately, and I will never allow her to set foot in the Marquis' Mansion."

Lu Qingchen instantly understood what he was referring to, and slammed Lu Yuande away with his backhand, asking coldly, "Who are you scolding?"

Lu Yuande was startled by this sudden action and immediately scolded her: "You unfilial son, she actually dared to beat and scold your mother-in-law, can you just sit there and watch?"

"Mother-in-law? My mother has long passed away, so how can there be a mother-in-law?"

Lu Qingchen spoke with sarcasm and a look of insight in his eyes, which made Lu Yuande angry and embarrassed.

"Isn't Zhao her stepmother?" Lu Yuande argued speciously.

"Humph! What a mere concubine! How dare you show off in front of me?"

Lu Qingchen was merciless. When he thought that Zhao dared to teach Qin Miaoxi a lesson under the banner of her mother, the anger in his heart surged out like a flood.

"I'm afraid Master Lu is tired of living in the Marquis' Mansion." Lu Qingchen ordered coldly, "Wen Zhu, pass the order down and ask them to leave the Marquis' Mansion immediately. After one hour, do not let me see any more of them."

"you dare!"

"See if I dare to do that. You still want me to cancel the engagement. This is a marriage granted by the Emperor. Are you questioning the Emperor's decision? Be careful, or I will sue you for disrespecting the Emperor."

Lu Yuande shut up in horror and didn't dare to say anything.

After saying this, he turned away without showing any mercy.

Wen Zhu strode to Lu Yuande and said, "Master Lu, please come in!"

Lu Yuande was filled with resentment and unwillingness. He stared at Lu Qingchen's back and yelled crazily, "Don't even think about driving me away! I'm your father, and I'm determined to live in this mansion. If you dare to drive me away, I'll ruin your reputation and make you..."

Wen Zhu watched coldly, and without waiting for him to make trouble, he raised his hand and slashed at the back of his neck with a swift knife.

In an instant, the noise stopped abruptly.

Wen Zhu carried Lu Yuande on his shoulders like a dead pig, and disappeared into the door in an instant.

On that day, people were coming and going in front of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and many people gathered outside, peeking in curiously.

"What happened in this mansion? Why are they moving all the things out?"

"I heard that the young marquis is getting married, but does anyone know when it will be?"

"I heard it's at the end of the month, but I'm not sure about the exact date."

"That's not right! If you're getting married, you wouldn't throw all these clothes out, right? Look at them, they're all worn."

Just as he was saying this, everyone saw Wen Zhu carrying the unconscious Lu Yuande in one hand and the crying Zhao in the other, with servants crying uncontrollably following behind them.

He strode out of the mansion. Lu Yuande's body drooped limply, and his head swayed with Wen Zhu's steps.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this, all looked surprised and whispered to each other.

Wen Zhu ignored the discussions around him and threw Lu Yuande and Zhao to the street outside the marquis' mansion.

Afterwards, he ordered the servants to throw out some worn-out items as well. He glanced around coldly, turned around and went back to the mansion, and the door slowly closed behind him.

Seeing this, everyone became even more curious and surrounded Lu Yuande's family, pointing and talking.

Zhao had also recovered from her panic at this point. Looking at the humiliated state of being thrown out, she felt ashamed and angry. She cursed at the gate of the Marquisate: "Lu Qingchen, you unfilial son, how dare you treat us like this? You will not live a good death!"

But all she got in response was a closed door and the snickers from the people around her.

Lu Yuande slowly woke up and found himself on the street, surrounded by strange looks. He immediately became angry and wanted to rush into the Marquis' Mansion to argue, but was stopped by the guards arranged by Wen Zhu at the door.

He was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he was helpless and could only stand there staring blankly, thinking of countermeasures in his heart, how to make Lu Qingchen change his mind, but his mind was in a mess and he had no idea.

In the inner hall of the Marquis' Mansion, looking at the things of Lu Yuande's family that had been cleared out, Lu Qingchen's resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for many years finally dissipated a little.

"Oh! I should go find Xiao Xixi and explain everything clearly."

He was extremely anxious and unconsciously quickened his pace, rushing straight towards the paper-making shop.

He was full of worries, afraid that Qin Miaoxi would misunderstand and think too much. If she hated him because of this, he would definitely tear that family into pieces.

The moment he stepped into the shop, he saw Qin Miaoxi sitting quietly in the yard making paper figures. Seeing him coming, Qin Miaoxi greeted him crisply, "You've come just in time. Come and give me a hand."

Lu Qingchen responded hurriedly, a bright smile broke out on his face, and he walked quickly forward. At that moment, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Seeing his silly smile, Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "Did you do anything to let me down?"

"Absolutely not!"

Lu Qingchen subconsciously shuddered, and the words were already out: "I just drove that family away."

After saying that, he slapped his lips in regret, secretly annoyed that he had let the secret slip. He had originally wanted to give Qin Miaoxi a surprise.

Qin Miaoxi looked at him in astonishment. She remembered clearly that Lu Qingchen had said before that driving that family away was a condition for their marriage.

Lu Qingchen scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "Oh, they were just too shameless. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just drove them away to save us both the trouble."

Qin Miaoxi had a meaningful smile on her lips: "I thought you were venting your anger for me, but it seems I was just being sentimental."

Lu Qingchen was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself: [Is it too fake to change my words now? I really want to avenge her! How can this mouth be so quick and do bad things?]

Qin Miaoxi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, "You are really broad-minded." But that smile seemed to hide other thoughts, making the atmosphere quietly become subtle and awkward.

Lu Qingchen seemed oblivious and forced himself to speak: "Where's Ziyan? Why can't I see her?"

"Oh, she went to find Wen Zhu." Qin Miaoxi replied indifferently.

"Ah? I didn't know about this. But what about the arrangements for the Marquis' Mansion? If you have any preferences, you can tell me. I will do it myself and will definitely be better than them." Lu Qingchen patted his chest, full of confidence, and he was just about to say bluntly that he was far better than those two.

Qin Miaoxi shook her head gently and said slowly, "No, he went to compete. Didn't you notice that Wen Zhu was injured recently?"

"No. He's still jumping around happily every day, so he doesn't look injured at all." Lu Qingchen looked confused.

Qin Miaoxi was startled at first, then her brows furrowed slightly. She understood immediately that Wen Zhu was feigning injury to escape Zi Yan's entanglement. Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Qingchen with a hint of strangeness. With such a cunning subordinate, his master was likely no honest man either.

As Lu Qingchen was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and shivered. He felt inexplicably guilty, but he didn't know why.

"Ahem! The wedding is only a few days away. Take a look and see if there's anything else you need to prepare. I'll take care of it."

"No need, this is fine."

Finally, the wedding day arrived. Qin Miaoxi married out of the paper-making shop. Due to the conflict between weddings and funerals, the shop was not heavily decorated. Besides Zi Yan, she had no other relatives by her side.

Occasionally, someone would come to the shop to congratulate her, but when they saw it was a paper-making shop, they all turned away. When the bride's party arrived, they were stunned to see how deserted the shop was.

Only Lu Qingchen was ecstatic, and his heart and eyes were filled with the image of Qin Miaoxi in her wedding dress.

【Xiao Xixi looks so beautiful in red.】

Qin Miaoxi smiled shyly under the red veil, but was also unusually nervous. Finally, with the support of Zi Yan, she slowly walked towards Lu Qingchen.

Lu Qingchen took the pair of delicate hands, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you from now on."

【Never leave or abandon.】

At this moment, Qin Miaoxi felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken, and she was involuntarily pulled by Lu Qingchen towards the sedan chair.

In front of the Marquis's mansion, all the guests had already gathered, eagerly watching. As they saw the wedding sedan approaching, the crowd erupted in laughter.

Lu Qingchen was very cool and unrestrained, and he was spending a lot of money along the way, which made everyone cheer.

That’s right, others scatter copper coins, he scatters silver, and the question is... I have money.

Surrounded by the crowd, the two walked gracefully into the wedding hall.

The red candles in the hall were burning brightly, the light and shadows flickered, reflecting the festive atmosphere in the room.

The ceremonial officer sang "Hello" in a loud voice. Just as the two were about to salute, a sharp shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"
