Chapter 1584: Chapter 1584: Priceless Affectionate Lover_1

"Bastards, they are complete bastards!" Lady Jiang cursed, shrieking with anger as Jiang Zhihe emerged from the room, lifting her bridal veil.

Upon seeing her second daughter, Lady Jiang couldn’t help but burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "Dou Ning and his people are too despicable. Zhihe has always been respectful to them. Even if there’s a conflict between the two families, they shouldn’t harm the children, right? They deliberately chose this moment to cause trouble; it’s downright immoral!"

Jiang Zhihe’s eyes reddened, and she was about to cry when Bai Ruozhu strode over and said to her, "Zhihe, you can’t cry, otherwise my makeup work on you would be ruined. Besides, do those two even count as your relatives? Do you need to cry for them?"

Jiang Zhihe looked at Bai Ruozhu somewhat blankly, but quickly nodded vigorously, forcing back her tears.

"With such a commotion outside, it’s not good to delay the ceremony. I’ll go and drive them away," Jiang Yichun said, unable to bear seeing his cousin like this.

No matter what Elder Jiang thought, he had watched Jiang Zhihe grow up. Although he hadn’t played with her much when they were young, he’d always had a favorable impression of this quiet cousin.

"Yichun, they are your elders after all. Handling this yourself could damage your reputation; I’ll go instead," Jiang Xuexiang said, heading towards the door.

Bai Ruozhu stopped him, "Uncle, wait. They accuse you of chasing them out after you took control of the household. If you confront them now, you won’t be able to clear your name. If your reputation is tarnished, being your daughter married off today, Zhihe will also be looked down upon by others."

Lady Jiang cried out, "I’ll fight them myself! How dare they harm my daughter; I won’t let them off!"

Bai Ruozhu patted Lady Jiang on the shoulder and then turned to Jiang Xuexiang, "None of you should go, Yichun and I will handle it. Although we are the younger generation, it all comes down to reason. Unlike Uncle, we aren’t heads of the household, and we don’t live in the Jiang Residence, so we can still speak a word of fairness."

Jiang Yichun nodded to Jiang Xuexiang, "Uncle, Ruozhu and I will go and come back quickly. We were the ones who arranged this marriage match, and we can’t stand by and watch others ruin it."

Bai Ruozhu strode forward, joining Jiang Yichun side by side as they headed towards the main gate of the Jiang Residence.

Watching the two of them recede, Jiang Zhihe felt as if she had found her backbone, and the anxiety and anger in her heart subsided.

At the main gate of the Jiang Residence, Yu Chenghua had already dismounted. He bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Dou Ning, saying respectfully, "Creating such a scene won’t solve anything, Elders. Today is the joyous day for Zhihe and me, and I hope that you, as elders, will cherish the younger generation and not carry on like this."

Yu Chenghua was unaware of the extent of the Dou Ning couple’s unreasonableness, still believing there must be some misunderstanding, and continued to earnestly persuade them.

Mrs. Dou Ning glared and pointed at him, shouting, "Do you really think that marrying the Elder’s granddaughter would bring you glory? She’s just discarded goods that nobody else wanted. We’re blocking your way for your own good, to save you from being laughed at in the future."

Yu Chenghua was aware of the rumors about Jiang Zhihe. Jiang Yichun hadn’t kept him in the dark and had explained everything clearly. He understood that the Dou Ning couple were smearing Jiang Zhihe’s name because they weren’t able to marry off their own daughter as they’d hoped. He had thought that since some time had passed and they were still relatives, all would be well, but he hadn’t anticipated Mrs. Dou’s venom.

Yu Chenghua was no weak scholar; his face stiffened in an instant, anger brewing in his eyes.

"Mrs. Dou, show some respect. By insulting my bride-to-be, I am within my rights to file a complaint with the Capital Prefecture Lieutenant, and at that point, none of this family’s honor will matter. Also, if you insist on continuing this disturbance, even if you were to die at the gates of the Jiang Residence today, I, Yu Chenghua, will still marry Miss Jiang, and this vow will not change. I ask all those present to bear witness," Yu Chenghua said, bowing to the onlookers.

For a while, many were awed by Yu Chenghua’s resolute demeanor, praising the groom for his genuine love for the bride. They mused that true love is worth more than gold, and they wondered what kind of woman would be protected by such a man.

Many people were filled with curiosity about the bride.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun had reached the Main Gate, just in time to hear what Yu Chenghua said. Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but nod, whispering, "Achun, you have a good eye. The guy you introduced to Zhihe is really not bad."

Jiang Yichun raised an eyebrow, "As if you didn’t know whose subordinate he was."

Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes, "Do you have to be so narcissistic? Don’t start a fight when we go out there, I’m here to argue if necessary."

He frowned, as if he used force, he might accidentally kill Dou Ning and his wife on the spot, which would truly turn a joyous occasion into a tragedy.

While he was gathered in thought, Bai Ruozhu had already stepped out boldly, clapping loudly and said to Yu Chenghua, "Brother-in-law is right, Zhihe married a good husband."

Yu Chenghua, who had been stern-faced, flushed with embarrassment and became shy.

Onlookers burst into laughter, which immediately diluted the presence of the Dou Ning couple.

Seeing this, Dou Ning quickly scrambled up and pointed at Jiang Yichun, "What are you doing here, you bastard? It’s because of you and your wife that Jiang Xuexiang drove us out of the Residence, leaving us in such a wretched state."

The word "bastard" chilled Jiang Yichun to the core, and a cold aura emanated from him, "What did you say?"

Dou Ning, startled, subconsciously stepped back, only to step on the fingers of Mrs. Dou, who was still lying on the ground, eliciting a scream like that of a slaughtering pig. Dou Ning almost jumped up in fright before finally releasing Mrs. Dou’s hand.

"My fingers! Couldn’t you watch where you step, you accursed brute?" Mrs. Dou bellowed in anger, but realizing it was not the time for internal strife, she quickly signaled to Dou Ning with her eyes. Coming back to his senses, Dou Ning plopped down on the ground, wailing, "What are you doing? Are you hitting an Elder again?"

Bai Ruozhu walked over and stood in front of Jiang Yichun, looking at Dou Ning with a sneer, "Nice use of ’again.’ When did my husband ever hit my uncle? Uncle, you better remember carefully and tell everyone clearly. Make sure your story is watertight, I wouldn’t want to catch you in a lie."

Dou Ning’s eyes darted around, "Didn’t he hit your auntie? Threw her out of the Bai Residence onto the street, is that how you treat your own Elders?"

Bai Ruozhu scoffed and said to the crowd, "Since my uncle and aunt insist on bringing this up, I might as well clarify things to everyone today, to stop the rumor-mongers from causing trouble."

The onlookers cheered enthusiastically, they were there for the spectacle, and why wouldn’t they be thrilled by a beautiful young lady telling them a story?

"However, today is the happy day for my sister-in-law, so let’s keep it short and not miss the auspicious hour. If anyone’s to blame, it’s my second brother who passed the imperial examination as the second-place winner. My aunt brought her daughter to our door, insisting on strengthening our family ties, but my brother’s marriage must be granted by the emperor, and couldn’t just be agreed upon..."
