Chapter 303 The Wedding Date is Set
Two days later, Jin Hongyu's starship arrived at M19, and half a day later, the Mo family also arrived.
Inside the manor, the already spacious reception hall was packed with people. Lin Cheng'an and Yuan Qing sat in the main seats, looking at the smiling Emperor and the Mo family members with serious expressions.
"Brother Lin, sister-in-law, you can rest assured that Shushu will marry Aze. From now on, Shushu will be in charge of everything in the family. If Aze dares to bully her, I, as his uncle, will be the first to not let him off the hook." Jin Hongyu made his best efforts to assure the Lin couple.
Lin Cheng'an smiled, but in his heart he was thinking, "With my daughter's strength, she's not someone that kid Mo Ze can bully." Despite his thoughts, he still had to be polite on the surface. After all, Mo Ze had long since passed the test of him and his wife, and this was just a formality.
"We trust Aze's character, and we as parents have no objection to this marriage."
Hearing him say that, Jin Hongyu laughed heartily, “Good, good, good! True love prevails in the end. We’ve been looking forward to their wedding for a long time. Now that it’s finally happening, the whole country should celebrate.”
Mo Kun and Jin Siyue then spoke up, "We've always liked Shushu very much. Marrying her is a blessing for Aze and for the entire Mo family. Everything in the family will belong to Shushu from now on."
After Mo Kun finished speaking, Jin Siyue handed Yuan Qing a thick list of gifts, which included all the properties owned by the couple and their share in the clan, including but not limited to planets, mines, real estate, and businesses.
Jin Siyue knew that these things were dispensable to Lin Shushu, but they represented the family's goodwill, and they welcomed Lin Shushu into their family with the utmost sincerity.
It's "joining," not "marrying in." Lin Shushu comes to their family to become part of their family, not to become someone in their family. Lin Shushu remains herself, not someone's appendage.
Everyone knows this, and no one would object.
Next, the two sides had an in-depth discussion on the wedding arrangements. Although the Lin family consisted of only the couple, they still held a dominant position, and the Mo family prioritized the Lin family's opinions in everything.
The two families finally agreed that the wedding would be held in half a month, and the wedding venue would be on planet M19.
This news was immediately announced to the entire empire through the royal family and the Mohist school, sparking heated discussions among the people.
The public offered their blessings, and some people who had been protected by Mo Ze were especially excited. They spontaneously organized themselves to celebrate Mo Ze and Lin Shushu's wedding day.
Meanwhile, the officials of the empire were busy preparing congratulatory gifts, looking forward to paying tribute to the newlyweds at the wedding.
With the wedding date set, Jin Hongyu immediately began to make grand arrangements for the couple's wedding. Although Lin Shushu and Mo Ze found it troublesome, they understood that it was their elders' care and attention towards them.
Lin Shushu leaned on Mo Ze's shoulder, somewhat moved, "It seems our wedding will be very lively."
Mo Ze smiled and hugged her, saying gently, "It's nice to be able to share our joy with everyone."
As the wedding date approached, the entire Jin Yuan Empire was immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere. Everyone was looking forward to this grand wedding and witnessing the happy moment of Mo Ze and Lin Shushu.
With so many elders around, the couple couldn't get involved in their own wedding at all; the most idle person actually became the person in charge of the wedding.
Five days before the wedding, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze left Star M19. It was time to deal with some unresolved issues.
Now they can cross planets in an instant.
On a remote planet, when Roshen saw the two people who suddenly appeared, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. In the Empire, probably no one was unfamiliar with these two.
Back on Tianxuan Star, their organization suffered a major blow, and at the time they didn't know who played a key role in it.
Later investigations revealed that their defeat was due to the actions of the then-Imperial War God and his fiancée. This also explained why their organization dared not seek revenge and ultimately declined.
However, he had already retreated to a remote planet and lived a peaceful life for several years. He thought he would no longer attract attention and was just planning to return to the public eye when these two people came again.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze hadn't remembered Luo Shen until they saw their cousin Mo Li, which reminded them of their last meeting.
At that time, in order to trace the source of the weapons of the "Blazing Fire" Star Pirate Gang, Mo Ze traced it to Tianxuan Star and eventually to the Blazing Flame Organization.
They cooperated with the Fifth Army to severely damage the Flame Organization, and Roshchen was one of the survivors who escaped the net.
According to Mo Li, after several years of silence, the Blazing Flame Organization has recently shown signs of resurgence and is poised to wreak havoc on the Empire once again.
Since Lin Shushu and Mo Ze had nothing else to do, they decided to take care of it while they were at it.
Luo Shen tried to run away, but he couldn't even move in front of the strong.
Lin Shushu didn't waste any words. She directly controlled Luo Shen, searched his memories, and then left without looking back, leaving behind the lifeless person lying there.
It is worth mentioning that Mo Ze actually learned the cause and effect of his childhood disappearance from Luo Shen.
In the investigation of the gene-based drug incident a few years ago, Mo Ze's childhood experiences were brought to light. According to researchers of the gene-based drug, although they used Mo Ze for experiments, they did not capture him themselves, but rather he was sent by the Blazing Flame Organization.
As for why the Blazing Flame Organization captured Mo Ze, they didn't know and didn't care.
From Luo Shen, Mo Ze learned that the Blazing Flame Organization had taken on a job from a powerful family on the Imperial Star, who wanted them to capture and kill him.
The Blazing Flame Organization was wary of the Mo family, but was unwilling to give up the generous reward, so they sold Mo Ze to the Eternal Radiance Organization, which was researching gene-based drugs.
And that powerful family on the imperial star was actually the Xiao family.
"The Xiao family is the Empress's maternal family, why would they do this?" Lin Shushu asked Mo Ze, puzzled.
Mo Ze's eyes darkened. "I don't know either. We don't need to guess. Let's just ask."
Lin Shushu nodded. With their current strength, they could just go for it without any worries.
When Xiao Xing, the head of the Xiao family, saw Mo Ze and the other person appear, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense for a long time, finally settled down. He closed his eyes, thinking that after hiding for so long, what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
“I know why you’ve come. I suppose you’ve found out what happened back then,” Xiao Xing said calmly.
"Then tell me, why did you do this? Although the Xiao family and the Mo family are not very close, they still have some face-saving between them. Why would you do this to a child?" Lin Shushu questioned angrily.
"Because I hate Mo Kun. Why is he better than me in everything and even married the woman I've always longed for?" Now that things have come to this, Xiao Xing has nothing left to hide.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were both taken aback; this matter actually involved their parents' relationship.
Mo Ze didn't want to hear his intricacies; only Xiao Xing knew what he was thinking, so he decided to let him take it to the afterlife.
"You did that, so you must have been mentally prepared. Are you going to end it yourself, or should I help you?" Mo Ze asked coldly.
Xiao Xing knew his life was coming to an end, and for the sake of his family, he could not resist. "I will end it myself. What happened back then was my own selfishness and had nothing to do with anyone else. Please, for your aunt's sake, spare the rest of the Xiao family."
Mo Ze nodded, he was doing it for his uncle's sake.
Seeing him nod, Xiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze said nothing more and left on their own.
The next day, a shocking piece of news suddenly came from the capital: the head of the Xiao family had died suddenly in his bedroom.
