Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chen Jie bypassed Master He directly and strode into the room behind him, pushing open the door to reveal the Commandery Princess inside, full of anticipation.

Chen Jie then opened his arms and embraced Zhao Ya.

In an instant, the emotions between them soared, and outside, the crowd of wedding attendees burst into enthusiastic applause.

Clap, clap, clap...

The applause resounded like thunder, and as Ruyang King watched Zhao Ya, who was in tears, hugging Chen Jie, he couldn’t help but sigh.

A daughter inevitably grows up and leaves, no matter how much one tries to hold onto her.

As a father, he had done all he could, and he considered himself to have tried his best.

With this thought, Ruyang King turned away, and beside him, Peng Yingyu said to him, ”Cha Han, don’t act like you’ve suffered a great loss. Jiusi is my brother, and I know his character and disposition; both are excellent. It’s much better for your daughter to marry him than some greedy scoundrel.”

”Alright, Old Peng, let him be; those from the court are just being sentimental!”

Liu Futong spoke directly, and upon hearing Liu Futong’s words, Ruyang King glared at him fiercely but didn’t erupt; instead, he turned and left.

At this moment, Chen Jie held Zhao Ya and said, ”Yaya, I can finally marry you!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya was deeply moved, gently nodding, ”Hmm!”

For a moment, the two said no more, and Chen Jie spoke up, ”Come, let’s go home!”

With that, Chen Jie lifted Zhao Ya in a princess carry and walked straight out, and Chen Xiaohu, seeing this scene, immediately shouted, ”The bride is leaving the house, light the firecrackers.”

Once the words were spoken, firecrackers immediately began to explode outside.

Bang, bang, bang...

The sound of these firecrackers clearly surpassed those of regular ones set off by the people; these were specifically made by the City Lord Mansion’s Science Academy, filled with the latest black gunpowder developed by Huangzhou Prefecture, quite powerful.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Chen Jie carried Zhao Ya to the prepared flower palanquin.

Zhao Ya, being carried, wore a face full of happiness; at that moment, she accidentally caught sight of her father among the crowd, who didn’t appear as joyous as she’d imagined; instead, he seemed somewhat forlorn.

In his gaze, there was even a hint of barely discernible tears; Zhao Ya was stunned—her father, he cried.

Ruyang King seemed to sense Zhao Ya’s gaze and was startled, snapping back to reality, trying hard to wear a smile, but seeing him like this made Zhao Ya’s heart ache.

At this moment, Chen Jie whispered in her ear, ”Don’t worry, I’ll have a good talk with Father-in-law and let him know how deeply I love you, to reassure him.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya gently nodded, ”Hmm, I know.”

After these words, Zhao Ya asked, ”How did you figure out which room I was in just now?”

Curious, Zhao Ya questioned Chen Jie, and Chen Jie replied, ”I’ve played this game before.”

Chen Jie directly explained to Zhao Ya why he answered so quickly, then he continued, ”Actually, there’s a simple formula for this—it’s to ask anyone and choose the opposite of their answer.”

”Hmm?”

Zhao Ya was puzzled and asked, ”Why?”

Chen Jie explained, ”It’s simple; remember the formula: positive plus negative equals negative!”

”What does that mean?”

Confused, Zhao Ya asked, and Chen Jie laughed, ”It’s simple; one person tells the truth, another lies. If the item is behind the truthful person, ask what the liar would say. The liar would say there’s nothing behind him when there’s something, and the truthful person would tell you that the liar would say there’s something behind him, but that’s a lie.”

”Just choose the door behind the truthful person.”

”Similarly, if you ask the liar about the truthful person’s door, the truthful person knows there’s nothing behind him, so he’d say there’s nothing, but the liar would reverse it, saying there’s something.”

”Choose the opposite answer, and there you have the door behind the lying person.”

”In short, false plus true, the final outcome is false; choose the opposite accordingly.”

”Understand?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya gently nodded—she seemed to understand.

Chen Jie laughed, ”Now that you understand, let’s get on the flower palanquin.”

Chen Jie placed Zhao Ya into the brand-new, grand flower palanquin. The palanquin, carried by sixteen people, was exceptionally spacious, with enough room for fruits like melons, pears, and peaches, seasonal fresh fruits, and it wouldn’t be crowded even if two people sat inside.

A typical wealthy family’s daughter would use an eight-carrier palanquin, but for Chen Jiusi marrying Zhao Ya, they used the highest specification, the royal family level, sixteen-carrier palanquin.

A sixteen-carrier palanquin, a royal family-level treatment, Zhao Ya entered it, and immediately, drums and music played loudly, lifting the atmosphere instantly, immersing the entire city in a festive mood.

At this time, Chen Jie mounted a tall horse, parading on horseback, dressed in wedding attire, while soldiers lined both sides of the street with a security presence; alongside them were the people of Huangzhou Prefecture.

With their City Lord marrying, they naturally came to send their regards.

The soldiers stood on either side of the street, shouting, ”Congratulations to the City Lord on your wedding.”

”Wishing the City Lord a harmonious union.”

”May the City Lord soon be blessed with a child!”
