Chapter 487: A False Alarm

s's mansion is too quiet; it's much more lively with us around."As they were talking, the Marquis's carriage returned.The courtyard immediately became more lively, with the village head and others inv...Someone sighed and said, “Even if Wen Yushi can't escape beheading this time, he will die without regrets.”

"Indeed, people previously said the Li family was from a refugee background, lacked etiquette, and were difficult to get along with. Now it seems this family is truly loyal and righteous!" Others nodded in agreement, "That's why the old saying goes, those who are courageous often resemble dogs, while those with treachery are usually scholars. The Wen family... alas, they are truly disappointing!"

The entire Xin Du, just like a pot of hot oil had a ladle of cold water poured into it, was bustling with chaos.

But as Wen Yi entered the palace, she remained there for a long time without emerging. Everywhere fell into an eerie silence once more.

Everyone is waiting for a result.

After a long time, the palace gate finally opened. Wen Yu Shi walked out, followed by a group of little eunuchs, each holding something in their hands.

There are the Four Treasures of the Study, silk fabrics and ornaments, as well as precious jade wares, and even gold and silver articles.

Liu's family and Li's family, as well as Cui's wife, all gathered around.

Old Master Liu carefully scrutinized Wen Yishi. Although he had changed into a new set of clothes and freshened up for the imperial audience, he still looked much more haggard.

Thankfully, there were no signs of torture.

He glanced at the crowd in the distance, all of whom were carriage drivers and attendants of officials on duty. He then asked loudly, "Shao Yuan, what's going on"

Mr. Wen understood and raised his voice, a grateful expression on his face as he replied, “Master, when I first met the Emperor, I was so excited that I spoke too quickly and startled him. The Emperor was drinking a tonic soup, and a lotus seed went down the wrong way. I immediately apologized, but the Emperor was choking quite badly. Despite my apology, I was still put under arrest.”

"The Emperor didn't actually blame me, but because of urgent state affairs, he overlooked it and it passed by. It was only just now that he brought up my petition again, and the Emperor realized I had been wrongly imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!"

The Emperor summoned me to the palace, and not only approved my petition but also bestowed upon me rewards!

"The Emperor's grace is boundless, and the emperor is wise!" Old Master Liu was extremely excited. He led everyone to kneel down together and kowtow towards the palace gate.

From afar, everyone could hear clearly and sighed at the unjust fate that had befallen Wen Yushi.

But the emperor was indeed wise.

In the end, Wen Yushi was still in the wrong, but the Emperor didn't pursue it. He even compensated Wen Yushi because of this misunderstanding, which had wronged him.

But Wen Yushi lost more than just a few days of freedom...

To avoid being implicated, the Wen family has already cast him out.

Right at this moment, outside the palace gates, Wen Yushi had already led the red-eyed Lady Cui to kneel before Old Master Liu. "Uncle, since Jiner has no parents alive, you are like her father. I… I now have no home!"

I wish to ask Uncle for his help in arranging a marriage between myself and Jin Rou. I want to marry Jin Rou and repay her kindness for not abandoning me during my time of crisis!

"I will take care of her for my whole life, loving each other without a doubt. I am willing to marry into the Cui family and support the Cui family's reputation, carrying on their lineage!"

Marrying into the family

Everyone was stunned, including the Liu family and the Li family, even Mrs. Cui.

Their plan is nothing but to force Wen Jia to kick her husband out of the house, so that she can control her own marriage.

But they didn't expect that Mr. Wen wasn't just looking for a wife, but wanted to marry into the Cui family!

It has to be said, this time the Wen family acted ruthlessly, severely hurting Mr. Wen's heart. He is completely determined to abandon blood ties!

The onlookers from afar were also shocked, their mouths agape, too afraid to make a sound for fear of disturbing the protagonists at the palace gate, lest they lose the spectacle.

Liu Laogong took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Shao Yuan, have you thought this through Marrying into another family is not a small matter!"

"No, uncle, I've made up my mind! When I was young, my teacher treated me like his own child. I never had the chance to repay his kindness, and he passed away." Mr. Wen looked deeply saddened.

He continued, "Now that my biological family has abandoned me, I would rather be a husband in the Cui family than a wandering ghost. This way, I can repay my teacher's kindness and fulfill my promise to Tong Jinyu."

"Good," Old Master Liu's eyes were filled with joy as he replied, "Then I'll do as my late brother would have wished and allow you to marry into the Cui family. From now on, the Cui family and Jinrou are in your hands!"

"Thank you, Sir!" Mr. Wen bowed three times respectfully.

Mrs. Cui blushed and also bowed her head in greeting.

"Jinerou, please ask someone to bring back the household register. Let's go to the government office together and register me. From then on, we will be a family!" Mr. Wen looked at his junior sister and tried hard to hold back his tears.

His long-held dream finally came true, but he never expected the process to be so brutal, so deeply etched in his memory!

Mrs. Cui nodded, too choked up to speak.

Within half an hour, the "hot list" for the entire new capital had been refreshed.

The Emperor mistakenly swallowed a lotus seed, and Wen Yushi was wrongly imprisoned. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, he not only gets his former position back but also receives rewards.

Wen Yushi learned that he had been abandoned and driven out by his family. He knelt down immediately and begged Liu Lao Taiye to make the decision for him to marry into the Cui family!

Now that the household registration has been changed, Wen Yuanshi will be the son-in-law of the Cui family from now on!

These words, broken down individually, are understandable. But when put together, they're unbelievable!

Then a clever person, speaking for everyone, voiced the collective thought: "That's it! It was all a misunderstanding. Lady Wen is fine, but she's heartbroken over her family and has entered the Cui household to repay their kindness!"

"Yeah, yeah!" someone immediately agreed, "That's right, Wen Yushi was simply... too decisive! When his family kicked him out, he just stuck a leg through the door!"

"The old master of the Wen family is probably going to be furious. Not only was it a false alarm, but he also lost an imperial censor son!" Some people who couldn't stand the Wen family's actions chuckled with schadenfreude.

Bystanders were also clapping their tables and laughing, "Splendid! Splendid! That's the way to do it. If you don't want me as your son, naturally someone else will be eager to take me!"

Some people were even more happy for Mrs. Cui, saying, “This kind and righteous woman hasn't been let down after all. From now on, she has someone to rely on for the rest of her life. Who knows, perhaps this good son-in-law will even bring honor to the Cui family!”

"Yes, I don't know when the wedding banquet will be held. I definitely want to join in the fun."

"Oh, I'll go too! Let's go together then!"

Everyone burst into laughter, the teahouse was truly more lively than New Year's Eve.

They watched the whole thing unfold, their hearts pounding in their chests the entire time.

Of course, everyone was happy with such a good ending.

Of course, in the courtyard of Wen's family, it was a scene of gloom and despair.

The servants walked as if they were carrying their legs, afraid of making even the slightest noise and angering their masters, who would then vent their wrath on them.

To tell the truth, even the servants don't understand.

The two elders were intelligent since childhood. Not only were they good at studying, but they were also filial and kind to their servants. They never hit or scolded any of them.

Why does the old master just dislike the second master!

The old matriarch loved poetry collections and storybooks even more than she loved the two elder masters.

Even so, every time the old master returned home, he would reward the maidservants in the main courtyard and instruct them to take good care of the old mistress.

It's a pity, such a good master was driven out and will no longer be part of the Wen family...

“Disobedient son, disobedient son!” Old Master Wen slammed two teacups to the ground, his anger still bubbling within him. He roared, “I’m not even dead yet, and he dares to beg others to make decisions for him, to marry into the Cui family He is a member of the Wen family, who allowed him to marry into another family!”
