Chapter 931: Young City Lord's Succession Ceremony
Although it is not a festival, the streets and alleys of Kunwu City are hung with colorful decorations and red lanterns, and the plaques at the city gates have been repainted, creating a festive scene.
The merchant from outside the city didn't understand, so he asked the waiter who was serving the food, "I heard that the city lord's wife had an accident some time ago and was in a coma. Why does it seem like there is a happy event in the city recently? Could it be that the city lord's wife has woken up?"
The waiter's face looked strange for a moment, but he quickly returned to a welcoming smile.
"Sir, you may not know that today we will hold the succession ceremony of the young city lord. It is also the wedding of the young city lord and the city lord's daughter, so we will gather in the city to celebrate."
"The celebration team will distribute spiritual fruits tonight. Guests can join in the fun, receive some fruits, and seek good luck."
The merchant's family tradition was strict, and he frowned when he heard this. "How can we hold a grand wedding when the city lord's wife hasn't woken up yet?"
He did not dare to discuss the city lord, so he talked about the bride, "Especially the city lord's daughter. Her mother is in a coma. How can she agree to get married at this time?"
The waiter forced a smile and explained, "The one getting married is the eldest daughter, not the lady's biological daughter."
The businessman is well-informed and can associate the dirty deeds of those large leisure families with just one sentence.
"Does the city lord's wife have any biological children?" he asked.
"The lady has a daughter. I heard that she was abducted by the demons and taken to the demon world. Now her life or death is unknown." The waiter sounded regretful.
He had never seen the second young lady in person, but he had taken his mother to the free clinic in the city, which was set up by her, so he felt he had received a favor from her.
Every year, I also receive warm clothes distributed by the second young lady to the poor.
Anyone would feel unfair if a good person ended up like this.
The businessman sighed and continued to eat his meal.
The City Lord's Mansion was also busy preparing for the evening ceremony and wedding banquet.
"Have you found Wei Hongyun?" City Lord Tang Wenhua had a gloomy look on his face as he had a secret conversation with Chu Tianshu in the study.
"It hasn't been found yet. Palace Master Cao of Zixiao Palace has already gone out to look for it personally. I believe it will be found soon."
Chu Tianshu looked calm, and you couldn't tell at all that he was the protagonist of the night.
Become the young lord of Kunwu City and marry the lord's daughter.
Success and fame, with a beautiful woman in arms.
"We must find him. That old thief came too quickly. I didn't have time to get the key to the treasury from that bitch. We can't touch 80% of the money in Kunwu City."
"If we can't get these, Kunwu City won't be able to survive this year."
Tang Wenhua had a gloomy look on his face. He was only focused on attacking Shui Yingrou. He didn't expect that the other party had already been on guard against him and had set up a very strong sealing formation in the treasury.
Without the key to the treasury, he could not enter and take the property in the treasury.
Without the seals of the Master and the Deputy Master of the Qionghua Pavilion, he could not touch the businesses opened by Shui Yingrou and Tang Yue.
He could only accept the city's taxes this year, but now was not the tax collection season, so he could not get any money at all.
Today's ceremony and wedding banquet were only managed by him using money from his own private treasury.
Hearing this, Chu Tianshu's face turned fierce, "The city lord really shouldn't have handed over the financial power of the city to the lady."
Tang Wenhua was anxious and didn't hear the complaint in Chu Tianshu's words. He replied, "She has Wuji Mountain behind her and she also has her own power in the city. I had to hand over the financial power to her under pressure."
He did not say that the initial reason for handing over the financial power was that he was eager to expand Kunwu City. The expenses were too high, and he was unwilling to mine the Kunwu mine too much, so he wanted Shui Yingrou to use her dowry to subsidize it.
Chu Tianshu despised him in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "Don't worry, father-in-law. If I really can't open the treasury, I can go back to Xuanyuan Mountain and ask Master for help."
"He will invite a great weapon refiner from the mountains to help us open the treasury."
Tang Wenhua calmed down, "Tianshu, the wisest thing I have ever done in my life is to accept you as my apprentice. Kunwu City will have successors."
"I will feel at ease when you ascend to the throne of city lord tonight and marry Wan'er."
He was very proud of himself, thinking that his plan was perfect.
Tang Yue was abducted to the demon world and is most likely dead.
Even if she didn't die, as a woman, she would be humiliated in the demon world and would never come back to grab the position of young city lord.
While Shui Yingrou was worried about Tang Yue falling into the demon world, he tricked her out of the city and gave her a strange poison that could only be cured by the scales on Zhulong's chest. Shui Xuanying, the old man, had always doted on Shui Yingrou, and he really went to the underworld to get the medicine, seeking his own death.
At this time, the position of the young city lord of Tianshu was decided. With the help of Xuanyuan Mountain, Wuji Mountain had no reason to object.
Even if Shui Xuanying managed to come back alive, Tianshu had already become the young city lord, and he was powerless to change that.
"It's just that Shennong Pavilion and Baopu Pavilion have been staying indoors for the past half month and will not attend tonight's banquet." Chu Tianshu frowned.
Such behavior is clearly an expression of opposition through silence.
Tang Wenhua said fiercely: "Do they still remember that I am the lord of Kunwu City? When the situation stabilizes, I will not let them go!"
After the conversation, Chu Tianshu came out of the study and wanted to see Tang Wan.
Passing by the East Garden, there was a faint colorful light in the air, which was the light of the protective formation.
Chu Tianshu frowned. As a wife, Shui Yingrou was really unqualified.
How could she set up such a large formation in her house? Was she guarding against her husband?
If it weren't for this formation, he and his father-in-law would have been able to enter the East Garden to search, and perhaps find the key to the treasury and the seal of the master of the Qionghua Pavilion.
How could there be so much trouble?
At the same time, his contempt for Tang Wenhua grew even stronger. As the city lord, he married such a domineering wife, which made him helpless and incompetent at the critical moment.
His Wan'er is gentle and virtuous, and would never treat him like this.
As I stepped into the gate of West Garden, I watched from afar as the makeup girl put makeup on Wan'er. Her face was delicate, gentle and charming.
This is his wife.
According to the rules, the groom cannot see the bride three days before the wedding, otherwise it will be unlucky.
But he couldn't help it and still took a few sneak peeks.
"Miss, you are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." The makeup girl flattered.
Tang Wan smiled shyly and said, "Not at all." But she admitted what he said in her heart.
"It's true. You are worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Kunwu City." The makeup girl carefully tied her hair into a bun.
When the woman who was counting the dowry in the hall heard this, she thought of the scene when the city lord's wife married into the city. That was the most beautiful bride she had ever seen.
It's a pity that she didn't marry a husband who cherished her.
Tang Wan looked at herself in the mirror. She was elegant and graceful, with a head full of pearls and jade, all made of precious spiritual treasures.
My father and Brother Chu were so kind to me that they bought these jewelries from Xuanyuan Mountain at a high price.
From today on, she is the wife of the Young City Lord.
She took out a golden hairpin and a look of nostalgia appeared on her face.
I thought to myself: Mother, I have achieved what you have been wishing for. The first lady is dying, and Tang Yue is stranded in the demon world with unknown life or death. Your revenge has been avenged, and I will fulfill your wish and take the position of the city lord's wife.
Before the wedding, there was the succession ceremony of the young city lord, which was held at the Wangtian Tower in the west of the city.
All the young city lords of all generations received the title of city lord here.
This time, Tang Wenhua actually took out the City Lord's Sword and gave it to Chu Tianshu.
"Tianshu, you were my promising disciple in the past, and now you are my half-son. You will inherit Kunwu City in the future. I will give this sword to you in advance." Tang Wenhua looked kind.
Before Chu Tianshu could say anything, a delicate voice came, "I don't agree."
The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire ceremony. It was obvious that amplification techniques were used.
Tang Wenhua was startled and turned around, only to see a veiled girl standing in the air with a sword.
Just as he was about to shout, a sword energy with immense power and astonishing momentum came towards him.
His face changed and he dodged quickly.
With a loud bang, the Wangtiantai was split in half. (End of this chapter)
