Chapter 118 Auspicious Wishes (36)

Ma Yuliang acted swiftly, and the next day he sent word that the Ma family had begun preparations for the wedding of the Ma and Zhu families.

Yi Yi summoned Red Sparrow and they also began preparations in a grand manner.

Originally, she thought that it was enough that Ma Yuliang agreed to marry Zhu Qianxiao, so she didn't ask him for anything more.

Unexpectedly, he went to great lengths to prepare for all aspects of the wedding.

The scale of the event was so grand that it's said they wanted to change all the wallpaper in the Marshal's Mansion to a festive red.

It does have some resemblance to the original storyline, where Ma Yuliang is overjoyed and preparing to marry his beloved.

...There's a feeling I can't quite describe.

Yi Yi smacked her lips, ignoring the strange emotions rising in her heart.

The news of the marriage between the Ma and Zhu families, two powerful clans that share the empire in Yangcheng, spread quickly.

Within half a day, it became the topic of conversation for everyone, spreading like wildfire throughout the city.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner unnoticed by anyone, a simple funeral was being held at the home of Zhu, the man who had long relied on the prestige of the Zhu family to earn the title of Second Master Zhu.

The funeral procession was quite strange. When they went there, there were only about ten people carrying the coffin, but when they returned, there seemed to be many more people paying their respects.

However, when the sensational marriage took place, no one noticed this incident.

If Yi Yi had observed the situation here, she would probably have been surprised and said: So the blame I threw on my second uncle's family wasn't just a rumor?

But Yiyi hasn't seen it yet.

Those who returned from mingling in Master Zhu's funeral procession locked the gates of the Zhu family home as soon as they arrived.

They brought news to Aunt Zhu: the bandits' henchmen had destroyed various hidden strongholds in the city, and the stronghold of Qingshan Academy had basically fallen.

Aunt Zhu frowned; the series of events that had occurred in the past few days had left her looking haggard.

But she still mustered her strength and said, "My husband passed away at this time. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

A comrade returned from outside, sobbing. After closing the door, he immediately changed his expression and said seriously, "But Auntie, it's not advisable for you to stay at your house for long. I just went to scout around and found that it seems someone is watching your house closely."

Aunt Zhu nodded, indicating that she knew about the matter: "I have also noticed something about this matter. It should be because I was implicated by the eldest daughter of the main family a few days ago."

"Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask of Aunt Zhu," the person who had initially communicated the information said, turning to call out, "Please come in, both of you!"

Two more people pushed open the door and came in.

The old man and the young man were none other than Master Liang and Liang Churen.

Master Liang bowed deeply to Aunt Zhu and said, "Thank you, comrade. Otherwise, if the Qingshan Academy stronghold had been discovered and looted, we would have had no way of finding a suitable place to move to."

Aunt Zhu quickly helped Mr. Liang up, saying, "What are you saying, Comrade Liang! This is what I should do!"

Master Liang wiped away the tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, took a few deep breaths to calm his grief, and said, "I have a favor to ask of you, comrade."

"Comrade Liang, please speak freely!"

Master Liang pulled Liang Churen in front of him and said solemnly, "I hope that you, comrade, can secretly arrange for my son to be placed in the Zhu family."

"This..." Aunt Zhu hesitated.

"Of course, if it's too much trouble for me, I won't force you." Master Liang knew he was being a bit unreasonable and was about to stop there.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhu said, "It's not that difficult, but I want to know, what does Comrade Liang intend to do by infiltrating the Zhu residence?"

"About this..." Master Liang was about to say something.

Liang Churen interrupted him, saying, "Father, let me speak!"

Master Liang glanced at his son, then nodded deeply and took a half step back.

Liang Churen looked intently at Aunt Zhu and said, "It's like this, Aunt—"

"We were captured by the Ma family's men during the disaster relief efforts. For the safety of our comrades, Xiaoxiao... Comrade Zhu Qianxiao said that she had a special identity and would hold off the pursuers."

"The situation was urgent at the time, so I had no choice but to do as she said and lead the other comrades to evacuate first."

"And so Comrade Zhu Qianxiao was taken back by the Ma family."

"But now, news has spread that she is about to marry Ma Yuliang, which suggests that she was forced into marriage!"

"My father and I came up with a plan to rescue Comrade Zhu Qianxiao!"

"Now we need an opportunity to get in touch with Comrade Zhu Qianxiao. We really have no other choice but to ask you for help."

After saying that, Liang Churen glanced at Sister-in-law Zhu.

Seeing that she still seemed hesitant, Liang Churen explained his plan in detail.

Finally, he added, "If this really puts my aunt in a difficult position, then I'll think of another way!"

After listening, Aunt Zhu remained silent for a long time.

Liang Churen waited anxiously in this silence.

After a long while, just when Liang Churen felt hopeless, Aunt Zhu sighed and said, "Alright, I'll help you infiltrate the Zhu family. I also have some things ready-made that you can modify and use. But if you really succeed, head north directly and don't contact me again."

With Aunt Zhu's permission and help, Liang Churen's eyes shone with joy.

He jumped up with uncontrollable joy.

Only after landing did I realize how erratic my actions had been.

Looking up at Aunt Zhu, he saw her looking at him with a kind expression: "You are a good child, you should get along well with Xiaoxiao."

Liang Churen's face flushed instantly. He instinctively wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but he froze for a second, then nodded firmly and said, "Second Aunt, I will!"

Aunt Zhu waved her hand and said to Liang Churen, "I don't have anything good to give you. I'm planning to sell my property and move to a different place."

She sighed, seemingly lost in thought, and continued, "We can't stay in Yangcheng any longer. Fortunately, the patriarch didn't kill us all and gave us a chance to escape."

"Second Aunt, you mean..."

Just as Liang Churen was about to ask something, Aunt Zhu interrupted him with a shushing gesture, saying, "Oh, you can't say, you can't say!"

Having said that, Liang Churen didn't ask any more questions.

In short, that very evening, Liang Churen was forced into the Zhu residence by Aunt Zhu under the guise of a temporary worker.

After making a few inquiries, it was discovered that Zhu Qianxiao was indeed imprisoned.

Yi Yi also learned about Liang Churen's movements through her cerebellum. Following his perspective back, she discovered that he had actually entered through the methods of Zhu's second aunt.

Yi Yi thought the chain reaction was really amazing.

What I thought was just a small act of self-preservation turned out to be a crucial part of the story and put the plot on track.

"Is this the original plot, or is it guided by the fixed trend of the data?"

Yi Yi looked up and saw Liang Churen, who was trying to approach the courtyard where Zhu Qianxiao was being held, in various ways without making a sound, as his cerebellum was playing.

Lost in thought.
