"I know, how can I still not understand this? Who exactly are those nobles? Do you know them? How do you know them?"

  "I know them because you know them." Li Xia pushed towards Fifth Brother.

  In her previous life, she had been in power for over a decade, and was extremely cautious and diligent. She knew all the officials above the seventh rank by name, and was intimately familiar with even slightly well-known aristocratic families. However, she had already made up her mind to keep these experiences locked deep within her heart, not revealing a single word to anyone.

  "Me? So I know them?" Li Wenshans face was filled with joy, while Li Xia looked away, feeling guilty. Before, when he knew them, he had already cleaned up his act.

  "That is Qin Wang Cheng Xi."

  Li Wenshan took a cold breath, he had naturally heard of Qin Wang.

  The Empress Dowagers surname is Jin, from the King of Changshas family, and was the original wife of the previous emperor. She only gave birth to two sons, one being the Emperor and the other being the King of Qin. The King of Qin was a posthumous child and from the moment he was born, he was the apple of the Empress Dowagers eye. He was also the Emperors most beloved younger brother. At six years old, he was already appointed as the King of Qin. This King of Qin is not only noble but also intelligent, wise, courteous to scholars, and magnanimous... In short, everything about him is excellent, even his appearance is handsome beyond compare! A few years ago, he was known for being a paragon of elegance and refinement, like a celestial being.

  "That fierce god was Jin Moran, the crown prince of Changsha King, with a courtesy name of Shuyan and a nickname of Parrot Boy." Li Xia thought of Jin Shuyans eyes that seemed to see through everything, and her heart skipped a beat.

  "Evil god? Which evil god? Are you referring to Jin Dalang? Hes just not very fond of smiling or talking, actually... Ah? Hes the Crown Prince of Changsha? The Empress Dowagers own nephew?" No wind was needed for Li Wenshan to be flabbergasted; it turned out that he was a noble of the highest order!

  "Brother Wu, remember! From now on, you must be careful around him! Hes ruthless and cruel! Cruel to the point of being a butcher! Qin Wang... he once single-handedly killed over 200 people with just one gun and in one breath!"

  Li Xia thought of the day Qin Wang died, Jin Cuiyan came out of Jiang Fu with a long gun dripping with blood, and she shivered, that was not human, it was a Rakshasa from hell!

  "Who? Qin Wang? Jin Da... Who killed people? Why kill so many people? Bring soldiers to fight?" Li Wenshan was shocked and confused, killing over 200 people in one breath! This is too frightening! No wonder A Xia was scared like that!

  "Its not about being a good general, but about being ruthless. He has never led an army before, so how can he be so cruel? Just remember, he is heartless and brutal! And also extremely cunning!" Li Xia didnt plan to tell Fifth Brother Qin Wang about his early death, as Fifth Brother was kind-hearted, and if the news got out, it would be a disaster of epic proportions!

  The best way to keep a secret is to let it rot in your own mind.

  "The most handsome one among them was called Lu Yi, with a courtesy name of Huai Ci and a nickname of Feng Ge Er."

  Everyone calls him General Lu.

  "Hmm, he holds the honorary position of General of the Imperial Guard, so everyone calls him General Lu. He is the youngest son and heir of the Annan Lu family, and is the most talented martial artist in the Lu family for decades. Although young, his skills are already extraordinary, and he excels at using poison and antidotes. Did you see that black cloth bag on his waist? Inside is the Lu familys treasured White Flower Snake, only half a chopstick long, but the most venomous snake under heaven. Moreover, this snake is not afraid of cold, and can still jump around even in the dead of winter." Li Xia introduced Lu Huai with great detail, showing her thorough understanding of him.

  Li Wenshan was stunned, "A Xia, how do you know everything? You?"

  "It was you who told me." Li Xias eyelids drooped slightly, "And another one, named Gu Yu Yan, courtesy name Shou Ming, nickname Huan Ge Er, he is the eldest son of Mr. Gu, and along with Jin Xue Yan, they are both childhood companions of Qin Wang, growing up together. Also, remember this, Lu Huai Ci and Gu Shou Ming can be ignored, occasionally being called by their nicknames doesnt matter, but as for Jin Xue Yan, he detests others calling him by his nickname, except for the Empress Dowager and Qin Wang, whoever calls him by his nickname will have trouble with him, let alone calling him Jiao Ge Er, even if someone says a word like Jiao or Yan in front of him, he will harbor resentment and must take revenge!"

  "Does King Qin still let you call him Brother Parrot? Doesnt King Qin know about his problem? Or does he not have this problem now, but will have it in the future?" Li Wenshan was puzzled, how could such a good person like King Qin cheat Ah Xia?

  "I dont know either." Li Xia spread her hands, but in her heart, she was thinking of the excited and flashing eyes of Qin Wang, which clearly didnt have good intentions. Her impression of Qin Wang was that he was kind, gentle, and magnanimous, but this impression came from the empress dowager, and whether Qin Wang was really like that or not, she didnt know. After all, in her previous life, she had only seen Qin Wang from afar a few times, without even exchanging words.

  "What is the King of Qin doing in Jiangning Prefecture? What did he come to Jiangning Prefecture for? Did you hear anything?" Li Xias heart was filled with confusion and countless unease and hidden fears about the King of Qin appearing in Jiangning Prefecture. The King of Qin had never left the capital within a hundred miles, she was very sure of this, but now, the King of Qin really appeared in Jiangning Prefecture, how could this be? In this life, were there other variables besides her own resurrection?

  "They didnt mention this!" Li Wenshan thought carefully before responding, "They mostly talked about which familys peonies were good, whose tulips were flourishing and that sort of thing. Later they asked me what was delicious in Taiyuan Prefecture, what was fun, but they never mentioned the main topic."

  "For them, these are the right things." Li Xia had hoped for a one-in-ten-thousand chance, but hearing Li Wenshan say this, she didnt feel too disappointed and casually replied.

  For a former emperors youngest son and current emperors younger brother like King Qin, eating well, drinking well and having fun is the most important thing.

  "Ah!" Li Wenshan let out a long sigh, his face filled with envy. This is the life of an immortal! Those few people look as good as immortals too!

  ………………

  A few days later, Li Xia and his family entered Hengshan County.

  When they arrived at Hengshan County, it was already late afternoon. Mr. Li was busy chatting with the county magistrate and other officials who had come to greet them. Mrs. Xu was carried into the rear hall of the county government office on a sedan chair. Outside, Li Wenshan supervised the unloading of their luggage, while inside, Li Dong took charge of everything. First, he sent Hong Nians wife to invite a doctor, and Tang Pozi swept the kitchen, lit the fire, boiled water, and cooked dinner. Meanwhile, Li Dong himself led two or three people in cleaning up and putting away their belongings, busy as a top spinning around.

  Li Wenlan tightly held her younger sister Li Xias hand, obediently following behind her older sister Li Dong, making sure she could see while not disturbing her.

  Mr. Li hurriedly came in, the kitchen was smoking, and at least one room had been cleaned up to sleep in, solving the two most urgent things of eating, drinking and sleeping, everything else didnt need to be rushed.

  Mr. Li looked at the basically settled backyard, and his busy son and daughter who were sweating all over, feeling both heartbroken and relieved. With sons and daughters like this, what more could he ask for!
