Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 376 - 375: The Culprit Has Been Found

Everyone in the room stood by Lu He’s side, their eyes sinisterly fixed on Zhao Jun, making one’s heart tremble with fear.

The prospective groom straightened his body, conducted himself with decorum, and stood quietly by the door, outwardly appearing warm and courteous as he acknowledged.

According to custom, the bride and groom shouldn’t meet three days before the wedding.

However, Zhao Jun had offended Prince An, Li Shu, and his family was confiscated. Though temporarily out of danger, he was still a thorn in Li Shu’s side.

Therefore, everything about the wedding was kept simple~

Zhao Jun had informed the Ye Family couple about Li Shu’s matter a while ago and advised the Chief of Staff to be cautious in court to avoid being secretly sabotaged.

Lord Minister even shed a tear of sadness, realizing the culprit was right in front of him... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He was puzzled, having never offended Li Shu, why was he being targeted so routinely?

The Chief of Staff, who manages official documents, is also known as the Secretary of Books. The Minister of Rites manages court ceremonies, sacrifices, and banquets.

Four years ago, the Emperor of the Ji Country visited the Daqing Dynasty with his consort, under the pretext of promoting friendly relations between the two countries.

They came as they did, just attended to with the usual hospitality of the Daqing Country. There were special ritual officers to coordinate, and Emperor Jingping occasionally accompanied the Ji Country Monarch for meals, and that was it.

However, Li Shu nitpicked and, with a sullen face, went straight to Emperor Jingping to complain—this wasn’t done well, that wasn’t up to standard, anyway, he spread bad words about Ye Yuan.

This caused Emperor Jingping to have a poor impression of the Lord Minister because it was he, as the Minister of Rites, who was in charge.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan was broad-minded, and nothing happened afterward.

Three years ago, a severe drought occurred in the northwest of the Daqing Dynasty, with designated officials handling it, officially having nothing to do with him as the Minister of Rites, yet Li Shu went to recommend him to Emperor Jingping...

Who knows what he said, but Emperor Jingping had no objection and appointed him to handle it, even saying: "My beloved subject, your hard work is much appreciated. The capable should bear more labor, and this time you represent me to comfort the people; saving one more person is saving a life."

Fortunately, nothing disastrous happened later~

After two months, Ye Yuan returned, darker and thinner...

Two years ago, a murder case occurred in the capital and was handled by the Ministry of Justice. If worse came to worst, the Imperial Guard could be dispatched. But Prince An, Li Shu, arbitrarily tied it to the Minister of Rites, asking him to investigate the case...

What can be tolerated, and what cannot be.

The Minister of Rites resisted on the spot and delivered a speech of great righteousness (for a quarter of an hour).

Perhaps Prince An was overwhelmed by his momentum (or verbosity) and reluctantly fell silent.

Such matters constantly troubled Ye Yuan with endless irritation.

Initially confused, it was only after Zhao Jun brought it up that Ye Yuan realized he was the main culprit.

However, without evidence for now, rashly exposing Prince An to Emperor Jingping would be risky, so they could only adapt spontaneously~

Zhao Jun also purchased a house not far from the Ye Mansion. Tomorrow, Lu He would leave the Ye Mansion and be carried to the Zhao Mansion. The property prices in the capital are quite high, and with his current capability, he couldn’t afford a mansion in a golden location.

A portion of the money used to buy the house was borrowed from the Ye Family.

Everyone in the room exchanged words for a while longer before Zhao Jun returned to the Zhao Mansion to prepare for tomorrow’s events, while Lu He stayed at the Ye Mansion to marry the next day.

The following day.

Peach blossoms are beautiful, the bride is clever, the phoenix robe and rosy mantle, a mandarin duck jacket.

The Ye Mansion on Ruyi Street in the capital was filled with a celebratory atmosphere.

The lanterns in the mansion had been replaced with red ones, and the most eye-catching were the occasional red drapes, hanging from the high eaves and gently fluttering in the breeze.
