What is the quickest way to make someone who has had a miserable experience happy again?

  Let him see someone who is worse off than he is.

  Jiang Yan stared blankly as his younger uncle went to the second uncle's room, a smile even appearing at the corner of his mouth. He also considerately had Yu Feng prepare all the writing materials and placed them beside Jiang Shen.

  "Are you kidding me?" Jiang's temples throbbed with anger, "You came over here yourself?"

  Jiang Xuanjin elegantly pinched his sleeve and handed the pen to him: "I heard that Second Brother wants to divorce his wife, so I came to advise against it."

  Jiang Shen: “……” He really didn't see any intention of persuading him at all!

  The pen tip touched the paper and stopped again. Jiang Shen pursed his lips: "Father said that the sons of the Jiang family cannot easily divorce their wives. If I write a divorce letter like this, will I be punished by the family?"

  Jiang Xuanjin shook his head: "Second brother doesn't have to worry, Father already knows that Jiang Xu's wife left on her own accord. Even if second brother divorces her, Father won't blame him."

  "If it gets out, won't your reputation be tarnished?" Jiang Sheng muttered, "I may have been promiscuous, but I never thought of abandoning my wife."

  "If you really didn't want to abandon her, why didn't Second Brother keep her by his side?" Jiang Xuanjin looked at him sideways, "If you were sincere about keeping her, there's no reason for Madam Jiang to leave."

  "Who knows what she's thinking?" Jiang said in a low voice, "A person who used to be so easy to coax, this time doesn't listen to anything."

  Jiang Xuanjin paused, looked down at his own hands and said softly: "Then she must have been truly heartbroken."

  The river is deep and troubled, putting down his pen: "I know what she's sad about, I've admitted my mistake, but she doesn't even give me a glance, what can I do?"

  "Coax her a few more times." Jiang Xuanjin said seriously, "Keep coaxing until she softens up."

  Don't stop suddenly.

  Jiang Shen listened to these words, always feeling that something was not quite right, but for now, he had no time to worry about it, staring at the letter paper in front of him, muttering: "How can I possibly keep coaxing her? She's admired me for many years, and it's not like I've admired her for many years. If she wants to leave, why should I keep coaxing her? Wouldn't that be losing face?"

  He glanced at him and Jiang Xuanjin said expressionlessly: "Then let Second Brother write a divorce letter."

  His fingers were stiff, and Jiang Shen cried and laughed: "Third brother, we are born of the same root, why are you so impatient? Our experiences are similar, can't we comfort each other a bit?"

  Jiang Xuanjin gave him a cold glance: "Second Brother has forgotten? I am the one who was abandoned, different from Second Brother."

  Jiang Sheng: "......"

  Jiang Jia's third child remembered his grievances and was indeed very fierce.

  "It's getting late, Second Uncle, hurry up." Jiang Yan urged from the side, "Yu Feng will have to set off soon."

  "I'm not unwilling to write," said Jiang Shen, "but I've never written before, how can I put this into words?"

  This is true, which member of the Jiang family has ever written a divorce letter? He won't, they definitely won't!

  However, Jiang Xuanjin heard this and pulled out a "Divorce Letter" from his sleeve, saying with a wry smile: "It's already written."

  Jiang Sheng: "......"

  We are all drifters at the ends of the earth, and we must be more thoroughly lost in order to be considered individuals.

  What kind of evil has he created, why did he want to provoke Lao San?!

  Half a time later, Yu Feng took the letter and set off on his journey. Jiang Xuanjin stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching him leave, then turned to Jiang Shen and bowed: "Congratulations, Second Brother, you're free again."

  Jiang Sheng chuckled: "Yes, I'm free now. In the future, if I take a liking to any young lady from another family, I can directly bring her back home as my legitimate wife."

  "Xu's daughter is also freed." Jiang Xuanjin said slowly, "Maybe she'll remarry and get a good man who will treat her with all his heart."

  Remarry? Jiang Shen was taken aback, and then coldly laughed: "Is there really so many men in this world who are single-minded?"

  Jiang Xuanjin looked at him quietly.

  "...just because you're simple-minded and have few desires doesn't mean others are the same." Jiang Shen waved his hand, "Just wait and see, she'll regret it!"

  If a man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, beautiful women in his arms, spending his whole life facing just one face, he will eventually get tired of it. Xu Chuyan was too greedy, he didn't like greedy girls.

  But... towards Gu Lian and Cui Xue, he seemed to be fed up with them too. In the past few days, not even a hint of affection could be seen.

  Should he welcome some new people? He thought, and went to pull Jiang Yan.

  "Having been in Yinping for so long, haven't you gone out shopping yet? Are you going with Second Uncle?"

  Jiang Yan looked at him with disdain: "Second Uncle wants to go to that place of smoke and flowers again?"

  "You shouldn't waste your youth, take advantage of it while you're still young! Let Second Uncle let you experience the joys of life!" Jiang Shen laughed loudly, seemingly not taking the matter of the divorce papers to heart, and pulled him along to Yin Ping's "Spring Breeze Ferry".

  Yinping was originally going to be chaotic, but Jiang Xuanying's military power suppressed it, and the county governor Ning Zhen Dong ran away directly. Now this place is under Jiang Xuanying's direct management. As soon as the old madam who knew something heard that the guest's surname was Jiang, she immediately treated him as a superior guest.

  "You two have arrived at just the right time! We've had a lot of new girls arrive here recently, take a look and see if any catch your eye?"

  Jiang Yan learned from his uncle that he is not very interested in women, but to be serious, the girls here are all pretty good-looking and should be able to win over Second Uncle's heart.

  However, Jiang Shen sat in the main seat, staring blankly at the lower heads, and didn't even nod.

  There are those with a radiant appearance, those with a slender and charming figure, those with eyes that hold autumn ripples, and those with eyes like spring water. Normally, he should be bursting with inspiration, writing poems for these beautiful women, then embracing them tightly in his arms, and taking them to the inner chamber to indulge in romantic trysts.

  He stared and stared, suddenly remembering Xu Chuyan.

  If that person were standing here, he would definitely be the most mediocre and dull one. He wouldn't say anything, nor would he try to curry favor with anyone. At most, after he got drunk, someone would carefully help him back, gently wipe his face with a handkerchief, take off his clothes and shoes, and let him sleep comfortably.

  He rarely noticed her, in the past at the mansion, he was always held back by Guan Shan's gaze, indulging in affection and intimacy, after the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, he would go to her room, sleep for a good while.

  Xu Chuyan had never complained about a single sentence, he was mixed up again, as long as he was restrained in front of her, she would pretend to know nothing and take good care of him. There was a very pleasant fragrance in her room, which made him sleep soundly every time.

  She's too gentle, so he's used to getting his way and doesn't think about her feelings. This person won't get angry anyway. Even if she does, he just needs to coax her a couple of times and she'll be obedient again.

  Few children who don't cry get sweets, and those who don't fight for favor are rarely favored. Jiang Shen suddenly realized that after being married to Xu Chuyi for so many years, the number of times they had made up was truly countable on one's fingers.

  She has no children, actually it's not her fault.

  Gu Lian and Cui Xue were both born into the mortal world, often playing tricks in bed. Xu Chu's awkwardness was endearing, every time they consummated their marriage, she would blush all over, waiting for him to take the lead.

  At that time, he was used to being wild and didn't like her kind of dull and uninteresting woman. But now thinking about it, he feels a lump in his throat.

  "Which one has caught your eye?" The old procuress asked with a smile.

  Jiang Shen returned to his senses, thought for a moment, and asked: "Is there anyone who has just entered the mortal world and doesn't understand the rules?"

  The old procuress was taken aback, her eyes rolled around, and she nodded: "Yes, young master, this way please."

  Jiang Yan stood up and said: "Second Uncle, if you want to stay, then I'll take my leave first."

  "What's the hurry?" Jiang Shen said with a smirk, turning to the old procuress, "Find him a good girl too, and teach her some things."

  "Alright!" The old procuress smiled ambiguously, waved her handkerchief, and the several girls standing behind came forward, surrounding Jiang Yan tightly.

  "Second Uncle!" Jiang Yan shouted in fright.

  He covered his ears and walked out: "Can't hear, can't hear."

  Next door, the room had already been lit with incense, and the madam invited him in. Before long, a rather demure-looking young woman was brought in. The young woman was of medium build and average looks, and she came in to stand before him, making a curtsy: "I've seen the gentleman."

  Her dress was proper, but the light in her eyes wasn't quite clean, clearly she wasn't some innocent young girl.

  "Qian Nian's fox spirit, what kind of sheepskin are you wearing?"

  The girl was taken aback, clearly not expecting to be exposed so quickly. She looked rather embarrassed and said: "Young master, what you just said... is quite something! What's good about being a novice? Not knowing the rules at all! You can try my skills, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

  Lost interest, Jiang Shen leaned against the window and didn't move. He looked at the clear sky outside and asked in a light tone: "Can you make eight-treasure rabbit stew?"

  Girl: "......" came to the brothel to ask if someone could cook, why didn't you just go to a restaurant?

  He muttered to himself, "Suddenly I really want to eat."

  Unfortunately, no one did it for him.

  He wrote a letter of divorce and let her go, it was he who abandoned her, without losing any dignity.

  But it's really empty and desolate, both around me and in my heart, it's unbearable.

  Obviously an inconspicuous person, how can he affect him so deeply?

  Another autumn rain falls, Jiang Xuanjin stands under the eaves watching the outside rain curtain, his whole body is filled with cold air.

  Cheng Xiao said beside him, "Ning Zhen Dong has already escaped back to the capital, and there are still remnants in the main city that have not been cleared. Lord Lü has received the news and is preparing to open the city to welcome Your Majesty."

  Each city has the emperor's men, Yin Ping is the most ruthless, and the prefect is actually Ning Guifei's uncle. Fortunately, Cha Da discovered it early, otherwise, going to their ambush would be difficult to escape unscathed.

  Li Huailian was good at abacus and made arrangements carefully, but unfortunately he forgot one thing. That is, Ziyang had his own garrison, the military symbol was in his hand, and no one could do anything to him on this land of Ziyang.

  He's in such a hurry to send him down to the Yellow Springs, he should at least give some gifts in return.

  "Besides... Qing Si has already been sent to the frontline city." Cheng Xiao secretly raised his eyes to glance at him, his voice even softer, "According to the news that came back from over there, it seems that Princess Chang has revealed her true identity to the world."

  Jiang Xuanjin listened and nodded: "Then send a letter to be posted in each city, telling the people of Ziyang to be more careful when going to Danyang."

  It is said that their monarch and the Princess of Dan Yang are sworn enemies.

  He was startled and hesitated before saying, "The nearby fiefs have yet to make a move."

  Rumors are circulating, but most people can't tell what's true or false. Once this letter is sent out, it will undoubtedly confirm the identity of Princess Chang. In that case, won't Your Majesty also be drawn into this whirlpool?

  "Nowadays, Pingling Jun is timid like a mouse, and Changlin Jun beside him is also accustomed to liking peaceful days. Do you still expect them to make any moves?" Jiang Xuan raised his eyes, "Do as Ben Jun said."

  It is.

  The rain hit the bluestone, splashing up tiny water flowers. He bowed his head and thought that in the drought-stricken place of Yī Xiàn City, she probably couldn't even see the autumn rain.

  Indeed invisible, a line of city with gusts of wind, just without rain clouds.

  Hua Yu sat in the county governor's mansion, looking at the officials kneeling in front of her, and asked them: "Is there any further dissent?"

  "No." A dozen stout men with big ears shook their heads.

  She smiled and turned to Ji Wu, saying, "See, I told you that the adults are all understanding and reasonable. How could they possibly make things difficult for the kind-hearted merchants who came to deliver grain? Just look at this attitude, how sincere!"

  Yu Weng silently looked at the purplish-green faces of these people, thinking that how dare they not be sincere, you've beaten them into what state?

  Li Huaiyu is so overbearing and unreasonable when doing things, who mentions those rules to you? Come up and beat them, beat them into submission. Greedy, right? Want to take a commission from the Lu's grain store? The more she swallows, the more she can spit out for them.

  Hua Yu sighed as she flipped through the account book beside her: "You gentlemen are truly kind-hearted, I thank you on behalf of the common people."

  On paper, it's all gold, silver and grain searched out from various official residences, the amount is not small, enough for the citizens of a first-tier city to eat rice for a year.

  The person kneeling in the front row burst into tears: "Your Highness, you can't leave us with no way out at all!"

  The law does not blame the masses! They are all officials of the first-line city, forcing them... Even if they resist, what about the first-line city? This rumored Long Princess, why doesn't she even consider it carefully?

  "A way out?" Li Huaiyu thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "This is easy to say. Danyang Biancheng still lacks people to dig canals. You all go there to make a living, how about that?

  "...Don't be too presumptuous!" The words made people kneel down, and an official standing behind stood up, glaring at her angrily, "Where did this bandit come from? We let you have two shares under the name of Princess Chang, but you really think you're above everyone else and can do whatever you want?"

  She raised an eyebrow and propped up her chin, looking at him: "What can you do to me?"

  "Then I'll leave now, what can you do to me?" The officer glared at her, speaking as he rushed towards the door, his whole body radiating a fierce aura, like a thug who didn't care about his life, relying on his own powerful build to directly barge through the clear and white doors.

  Just as Wu was frowning and about to step forward to stop him, a loud "crack" sound was heard.

  The fat official who had just taken half a step out of the door was kicked in the chest by someone, and he directly smashed back to the position where he was kneeling earlier.

  She raised her eyes and looked at the person outside the door.

  A black-clad figure strode in, her long dress a deep, mysterious shade. Her face was unblemished, and her physique seemed even more robust than before. She approached, then knelt down and bowed: "Your humble servant greets Your Highness!"

  "You've finally arrived." Huaiyu smiled and pulled her up, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

  At this, Qing Si's face showed some annoyance, and she raised her head to say: "I didn't know the princess was in Yizheng City. If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed in Kyoto."

  "Huh?" Huai Yu was taken aback, "In Kyoto... wasting time? Didn't you go to the Tingwei Prefecture's great prison?"

  Qing Si was puzzled: "Who told you? I've been in Jiang Fu all along."

  "What? Li Huaiyu was taken aback: "You weren't caught for attempting assassination?"

  "I, a slave, had thought of holding the Emperor hostage to rescue you, but... before I could make my move, I was discovered by His Majesty and then confined to a separate courtyard."

  That is to say, Jiang Xuanjin said that the green silk was caught, it's a lie, just to scare and threaten her? Huaiyu was so angry, "slap" on the side of the case, scolded: "Originally agreed not to lie, now lied to me!"

  Qing silk did not untie: "The slave has not lied."

  "Not you," said Hua Yu, waving her hand, feeling both annoyed and amused at the same time.

  Jiang Xuanjin, what is she doing? Didn't she hate her for lying the most? She even deceived people in a very realistic way, and she really fell for it.

  Fortunately, there were no serious consequences, so let's just consider it a momentary whim.

  "What wind can you hear in Kyoto?" asked Huaiyu.

  Qing Si glanced at the person kneeling below and whispered in her ear, "Si Tu Jing was specially pardoned by His Majesty and was given command of 30,000 imperial guards. Many officials in the court have been replaced, and many who supported Prince Zi Yang and you have fallen."

  "What a stir! Is this?" Hua Yu sneered, "Young people have big guts, but if it's like this, the order in the court will be chaotic."

  Li Huailin is now considering the imperial court order. He released two old tigers to return to the mountain, if he doesn't hurry up and consolidate his power in Kyoto, where can he still have a peaceful sleep?

  The official who was kicked down by the green silk cried out "Aiyo, aiyo" and fell to the ground. Huai Yu slanted her eyes: "Send these few gentlemen back to Kyoto, anyway they have nowhere else to go."

  "Your Highness, this... isn't it directly provoking the Emperor?"

  Huai Lin felt that what his father had taught him was right and good. Li Huaiyu hooked her lips, "Then I'll go tell him, Li Shan's set, can't sit steadily on this throne!"

  Just call a spade a spade, she's the elder sister after all, can't let her younger brother look down on her.

  Yu Wudian nodded and took these dozen or so officials away with Qing Xuan and the others. Those who wanted to resist were beaten up.

  And so this group of people very obediently set foot on the road back to Kyoto.

  Everywhere in the city has started distributing food, and the common people have come to hear the news. Seeing the rice, who still has the heart to line up? They all rushed forward to grab it. Generally, those who distribute food are good people, even if they steal, rob and loot, they will endure it, at most just a few words of persuasion. When human evilness emerges, behavior becomes extremely crazy.

  However, the first person who carried three bags of rice and wanted to leave from the grain exit was knocked down by a bamboo pole.

  Qing Si's face was expressionless as she held the long pole: "Put it back."

  The man who had fallen to the ground stared at her in shock for a moment, then said exasperatedly, "You're distributing grain, but you won't let people take it away?"

  "Take away in line." He pointed to the person next to him, Qing Si sneered, "Rush? You try it."

  The man was dissatisfied and relied on the large number of people rushing for food behind him, so he led his men to charge forward.

  "Watch out!" exclaimed Xu Chuyang, who was scattering grain beside him.

  Without panic or haste, a long pole with a soft whip-like end swept horizontally across the legs of this group of people. No matter how many came, that's how many fell, and they couldn't get up from the ground for a long time.

  Chi Yuen and others also came to help, their methods were ruthless, completely unlike good people.

  The grain spout that had been making a racket finally quieted down slowly.

  "Here, take it." Xu Chuyan politely handed a small bag of rice to the person in front of him.

  The one receiving the rice was a little girl, who looked at the person being beaten next to her with a quivering voice and asked: "Can I take it away?"

  Gently stroking her head, Xu Chunye said, "Good people don't need to be afraid of them, they won't make things difficult for good people."

  The big sister was with those fierce people, but she was as gentle as a Bodhisattva. The little girl calmed down and smiled sweetly at her, then carefully carried the rice bag out.

  Everyone watched as the little girl calmly left, and then they began to line up quietly, no one daring to make any more trouble.

  "What kind of people are these?" The commoners in line whispered softly, "They're also too ruthless."

  The poor scholar in front replied: "If I'm not mistaken, it must be someone under the command of Princess Dan Yang."

  "Princess Danyang?!" As soon as they heard this name, everyone's face turned pale.

  No wonder they're so ruthless, every single one of Princess Danyang's people is extremely cruel and vicious.

  Maybe...

  The girl who is distributing food is really gentle, with a smile on her face all the time. She doesn't mind the poor being dirty and isn't impatient. She gently comforts the restless little children and patiently explains to people that there will be more tomorrow, so don't worry.

  In the end, the person standing in front of Xu Chuyan shouted out: "Bodhisattva sister."

  Xu Chuyi was taken aback for a moment, then cried and laughed at the same time: "Can't you shout like that, it's blasphemy against the gods."

  Taking over the rice bag she gave him, the little boy smiled and said: "You are Bodhisattva sister!"

  Shout and run away.

  A warmth rose in his heart, and Xu Chuyan said with a hint of embarrassment: "Huaizhong did a good deed, but the credit all went to me."

  The scarlet beside her looked at her and handed her a handkerchief: "Your face."

  She took it and wiped her face, discovering that she had unknowingly smeared a lot of dirt on herself.

  "You must have looked very bad?" She lost her smile, "What a miserable Bodhisattva."

  Red Gold shook his head: "The Bodhisattva is worshiped by people, not because of her appearance."

  After traveling together for so many days, everyone on this trip has come to understand Xu Chuyan. She is a girl who was taught extremely well by General Xu, with a heart full of compassion and proper manners. She can cook as well as receive guests and handle things. If the princess is a proud peony, then she is a gentle orchid. Her appearance may not be stunning, but her virtues are precious.

  Someone like this, and Second Master Jiang doesn't cherish him? It's as if he grew a pair of eyes for nothing.

  "Xu Niang." Just then, Wu came from outside, with a complex expression, holding an envelope, "There's a letter for you."

  What? Xu Zhong's body stiffened suddenly.

  Only Jiang Shen would write her a letter. It had been more than half a month since they last saw each other, so why was Jiang Shen suddenly writing to her?

  Xu Chuyan wiped her hands on her skirt and let Chi Jin take her place, then went to open the letter and took a look.

  The people in line for rations looked on as the kind-hearted girl's body shook, and she slowly squatted down.

  "What's wrong with Bodhisattva sister?" A few children looked over, unable to hold back, left the group and surrounded her, asking loudly, "Sister, what's wrong?"

  "It's nothing." Xu Chunian said in a low voice, "When what you've always wanted arrives, sister will be happy."

  "Cheater!" The little boy frowned. "My dad said that when people are happy, they should smile, and only cry when they're sad."

  Taking a deep breath, Xu Chuyan raised her head and smiled at them: "See, I'm smiling now?"

  The smile is smiled, but such a smile makes people's hearts feel sad.

  Yu shook his head: "Miss Xu, it's not worth it."

  "I knew it, I knew it all along." Xu Chuyan nodded, "This thing was what I asked him for, I've been prepared for a long time."

  After all these years of marriage, it's still hard to bear.

  Wu was at a loss and ran to take over Chi Jin's task, saying "Go think of a solution."

  What can he do with a fiery temper? They learned everything in the Feiyun Palace, except for how to coax women. After all, the eldest princess didn't need them to coax her.

  "After a moment of silence, Chi Jin asked: 'Do you want to eat something? I'll make it for you.'"

  Xu was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him. A pair of eyes were slightly red and teary, yet crystal clear.

  Chi Hong somewhat uncomfortably averted his gaze: "How about Eight Treasures Rabbit? You seem to be very interested in this dish."

  Xu Chuyan looked at him with a puzzled expression: "You... did it for me?"

  "Hmm." Akakane nodded, "You saved us from Kyoto, I haven't repaid you yet."

  It was always her asking Jiang Shen this, getting a "whatever" from him, and then busily and cheerfully working in the kitchen for an hour. No one had ever asked her what she wanted to eat.

  Her nose slightly sour, Xu Chudao said: "I don't like eating eight-treasure toad stew, I want to eat dessert."

  "Alright." Chi Jin nodded, "Follow me."

  Hua Yu was examining documents in the county governor's office when he suddenly heard Lu Jinghang's voice at the door: "Come out and see the excitement!"

  Startled by him, Huai Yu glared: "You're the great Lu Da Zhang, how can you be like a street idler, still loving to watch the excitement?"

  Lu Jing leaned against the door frame, with a fan half covering his face: "Xu Chuyan and Chi Jin's excitement, do you want to watch?"

  Her eyes lit up and she hastily grabbed her skirt and ran to the door: "Where is it?"

  He dragged her out with a scowl, saying, "You're the eldest princess, how can you be like those idle people on the street, still loving to watch the excitement?"

  "This is different, I've been thinking about how to help Chunniang vent her anger for the past two days, and it just so happens that this has arrived. " Huaiyu smiled slyly, "Don't you feel sorry for Chunniang? Such a good girl, why did she have to meet someone like Jiangshen?"

  "Has fate ever been fair?" Lu Jinghang sighed, "I'm such a good person, didn't I also meet a loser like you?"

  Li Huaiyu: "I hope you, Lu Zhanggui, won't casually discard your own face."

  To say they're a loser, she's a "loser" and he's also a "type", two coal balls, who can make themselves look clean?

  Lu Jinghang hummed a smile and led her to the kitchen, closing the door and pointing to that direction.

  Hua Yu looked back and saw Xu Chuyan sitting very obediently at the door, looking at Chi Jin who was making pastries inside.

  Akane made this smoky and fiery thing without any awkwardness, but instead looked very neat and tidy, kneading the dough and sugar with one breath.

  Xu Chunan couldn't help but praise: "The technique is truly masterful."

  "A martial artist's strength is just enough." Chi Jin looked a bit embarrassed, "I've only learned cooking skills for a few years too."

  "Really?" Xu Chuyan said with embarrassment, "In just a few years, you've already surpassed me, someone who has studied for ten years."

  "After all, it's what I learned from the imperial kitchen." Akane, who usually spoke little, seemed to have opened up, "In the beginning, when we were at Feiyun Palace, I didn't need to cook, but later someone tampered with the food, trying to harm the prince. So, after discussing it with them, we thought it would be better for us to take charge of the prince's meals ourselves."

  "Why is it just you who cooks?" Xu Chuyi asked curiously, "I see that even they don't get close to the kitchen."

  At this, Chi Kin gritted his teeth: "At that time, I was young and didn't know how treacherous people's hearts were. They decided based on age, letting the youngest go learn, saying it was because of their young age, they were easier to teach."

  The ghost was young and when he entered the palace, they knew each other's age, but he pretended to be deceived by him, and he foolishly fell for it.

  Xu Chu Nian finally smiled, lifted her sleeve to cover her lips, and a light appeared in her eyes.

  Li Huaiyu watched with her hands clasped together: "This is indeed a lovely sight, a young girl like Chunniang should have someone by her side who can take care of her and understand her."

  "What?" Lu Jinghang slanted his eyes, "Want to give me away in marriage?"

  "What's on your mind, you still have someone in your heart and can't let go, it's not that easy to remarry." Huai Yu Bai gave him a glance and smiled, "I'm glad she doesn't have to be gloomy every day."

  Lu Jingxing was puzzled, pulling her away: "I thought you had planned to let her remarry and let her donate grain to earn a good reputation in advance."

  If she didn't rush into remarriage, why would she push all the good things onto Xu Chuyan's head?

  "If you don't remarry, you can't make a good name for yourself?" Huai Yu rolled her eyes, "You heartless businessman."

  Lu Jinghang looked at her very seriously, and Huaiyu also made two ghostly faces and became serious.

  "It's not just Xu Chuyan, there's also Jiu Wu, Qing Xuan, Bai Ji, Chi Jin... and you." She looked at him seriously and said, "All of you have been wronged because of me, carrying a reputation that isn't yours to bear. So I must clear your names for you. You haven't done anything wrong, all of you are upright and honest people."

  "I will make the people of the Jiang family apologize for what they said sooner or later."

  Lu Jinghang was taken aback.

  That day he was not at the gate of Yinping Prefecture, and didn't know the specific situation. When he came back and heard people mention it, he just thought it was a quarrel.

  She didn't expect her to really remember it and start making plans.

  Yi Xian Cheng, this place, doesn't matter if it's not managed, after all, it's not within the borders of Dan Yang, but she suppressed the government office, made Lu Ji pay for the grain, and also let that group of officials share the various positions in Yi Xian Cheng government office, and even let Xu Chu Ye be remembered and praised by the people of Yi Xian Cheng. One move on the chessboard, and all the roads ahead are paved for them.

  The uninhibited Princess Chang now no longer shields the Emperor from the dark forces lurking in the shadows, she can lead them to do things openly and aboveboard.

  Suddenly feeling a surge of hot blood, Lu Jinghang stretched out his hand in front of her and asked with a low smile: "Counterattack?"

  "Counterattack!" Li Huaiyu slapped his palm with a resolute tone.

  The people of the first-line city were initially panicked, as there were many unfamiliar officials in the city, and each one looked like they weren't easy to get along with. However, the merchants soon discovered that these new officials didn't take bribes or intentionally make things difficult, although they looked fierce, they were very reasonable.

  They took drastic measures, and upon discovering any malicious price-gouging merchants, they would seal off the store with a placard. For honest businesses, they would hang a peculiarly tied red silk flower at the entrance of the shop.

  It is said that this red silk flower came from the hands of Princess Chang, and later became a symbol of the honest merchants in the city.
