A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

These words were spoken.

The wives and three widowed sisters-in-law inside the house all looked at Qin Ze.

Shen Zhiwei was somewhat surprised that the old lady was even more direct than Liu Jinghong.

They actually brought this kind of thing to the forefront.

Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou were extremely shy.

For a moment, neither of them knew how to respond.

Only Qin Ze smiled faintly.

"grandmother!"

"Of course, we must follow the order of seniority, but equally, we must not favor one over the other!"

"Therefore, the grandson has decided to marry them both."

"However, we still need to ask Yanran and Qingrou first. If they disagree, I certainly won't insist on doing it my own way!"

Qin Ze's words made Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou so embarrassed that they dared not look up.

In the end, it was Chu Yanran who spoke first.

"Ninth Brother, you may make the decision!"

Chu Yanran spoke.

Chu Qingrou spoke with a hint of shyness.

"I'll listen to my older sister and brother-in-law."

The phrase "Listen to your brother-in-law" made all the women burst into laughter.

Only Qin Ze was secretly pleased.

The old lady saw the two girls like this.

He was overjoyed.

"Alright, then I'll marry two at once!"

"Ten miles of red bridal procession, an eight-bearer sedan chair..."

The matriarch directly granted her the most luxurious wedding ceremony.

quickly!

The entire capital was shocked.

Number one on the list of prodigies!

He married two princesses from the State of Chu at once!

Any news, like a thunderclap, exploded in the capital.

All the powerful and royal families understood that the Qin family would rise again.

No one expected that Qin Ze, who was ordered to challenge the Heavenly Pride Ranking, not only succeeded but also became number one.

Most importantly, there were the two princesses of the State of Chu.

This is tantamount to leaving the Qin family a way out.

If it were the former Prince of Zhenbei, he would have died in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it meant death.

But Qin Ze already has a way out!

The strategic maneuvering involved has allowed the Qin family to move beyond their previous passive position.

…………

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Hall of Mental Cultivation!

Emperor Renzong of Zhou had a head full of blood.

He remained completely calm upon hearing the news of Qin Ze's return, his ranking as the number one on the Prodigy List, and his marriage to two princesses from the Chu Kingdom.

It seemed as if he had known this outcome all along.

The eunuch who came to deliver the news was equally astonished.

In the past, Emperor Renzong would have been furious upon hearing this news, and would have either killed someone or gone out to slaughter others.

"Go and deliver a congratulatory gift to the Qin family!"

"Similarly, Qin Ze has performed admirably!"

"To uphold our national prestige deserves a reward!"

"This time, he will be rewarded with the title of Marquis of Zhenbei!"

These words startled the old eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Qin Ze was only a junior general before!"

"Isn't it too fast to bestow a title of nobility all at once?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady's eyes widened.

A thin line of blood appeared on her neck.

Then the blood vessels burst open with a bang!

This scene terrified the surrounding eunuchs, who all knelt down and refused to get up.

"Hmph, since when have my decisions needed the interference of eunuchs!"

"Listen up, all of you! From now on, I don't care what you think; I only care what I think!"

"Do it according to my rules!"

"Remember, read the imperial edict on the wedding day."

"I'm giving him face!"

"But he must also serve me with his life!"

After saying this, Emperor Renzong immediately dispatched a eunuch to handle the matter.

As for the old eunuch's corpse on the ground, it shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The reason for the shriveling was that blood streak. The blood streak returned to Zhou Renzong's body, making his aura stronger again.

quickly!

The date for Qin Ze's wedding was then set.

This time, the procession stretched for miles in red, and all the prominent families in the city offered their congratulations to Qin Ze.

And each of those smiles was more genuine than the last.

Looking at those sincere smiling faces.

Qin Ze understood that when a person becomes successful, everyone around them is a good person.

Unfortunately, he had already witnessed how these people looked down on the Qin family when he was at his lowest point.

Chu Yanran and Chu Qingrou sat in a sedan chair carried by eight men.

Hearing the deafening sounds of gongs and drums and the crackling of firecrackers outside, the two women held hands tightly together.

They could both sense each other's nervousness.

"Big sister, I'm a little nervous!"

Chu Yanran heard this.

He gently patted Chu Qingrou's hand.

"Third sister, don't be nervous, your husband will be very gentle!"

These words made Chu Qingrou freeze.

Because she always felt that her older sister's words were not comforting, but seemed to be talking about what would happen tonight.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

Just as Chu Yanran was about to offer some words of comfort...

Then the imperial edict arrived.

"Young General Qin Ze of the Great Zhou Dynasty, receive the imperial decree!"

No one expected the Emperor to issue an edict at this time.

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

Some people have even started to gloat again.

"The Qin family has risen too quickly; the Emperor is going to suppress them."

"I don't think so. Even if it were suppression, who would suppress someone on their wedding day?"

"Hmph, on the wedding day? Didn't people also try to suppress him at his father's and brothers' funerals?"

The powerful families, clans, and wealthy clans all watched and observed.

Qin Ze was also somewhat displeased.

But at this moment, he could not afford to have any complaints.

Dismount and receive the imperial decree!

"Qin Ze, receive the imperial decree!"

Seeing Qin Ze's attitude.

The old eunuch dared not say anything more.

After all, the eunuchs who dared to act arrogantly in front of Qin Ze were all dead.

Not to mention the wedding day itself.

By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

Qin Ze was ordered to fight against the State of Chu. He defeated Chu's most arrogant and powerful generals, which greatly pleased the Emperor.

Qin Ze is hereby granted the title of Marquis of Zhenbei and awarded ten thousand gold pieces… So be it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Qin Ze's words made the old eunuch smile with satisfaction.

Similarly, inside the palace, Emperor Renzong of Zhou also smiled.

He now knows everything Qin Ze does.

The surrounding powerful families, wealthy clans, and onlookers were astonished.

Instead of suppressing them, the emperor continued to heavily rely on the Qin family.

The Qin family is truly about to rise to prominence.

In an instant, the aristocratic families who had not originally planned to go to the Qin family to offer their congratulations all showed their sincerity.

Since even the Emperor is on Qin Ze's side, there's no need for them to say anything more.

Qin Ze did not understand why he was granted the title of Marquis.

But on such a joyous day, he didn't want to ask any more questions.

Double happiness!

No one would think too much about such a thing.

On that day, the in-laws' gate was completely trampled flat.

The number of people who came to offer their congratulations was ten times that of Qin Ze's previous wedding.

"Grandma, this is double happiness!"

"Grandma, congratulations! Congratulations! This is a triple celebration!"

Amidst everyone's congratulations, Qin Ze had already escorted the two women into the bridal chamber.

At the banquet, everyone was trying to curry favor with Qin Ze.

Flattering Qin Ze!

Qin Ze, however, did not care about any of this.

He knew perfectly well that those people were only flattering him because of his strength.

It has nothing to do with him personally!

Night falls!

Qin Ze looked at the house not far away, lit by candlelight and decorated with double happiness characters on the windows.

I was filled with excitement.

Inside the house!

Chu Qingrou spoke up to remind him!

"Big sister, brother-in-law is coming in!"

"Okay, we just need to sit and wait for him to come. Don't be nervous!"

Chu Qingrou nodded obediently.

The two women sat at opposite ends of the bed, one at the head and the other at the foot.

Qin Ze had already slowly pushed open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two beauties by the bed.

Although she was still covered by a red veil.

But her graceful figure and delicate body are enough to make any man in the world's heart flutter.

"Ladies, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
