Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family - Chapter 618: Never

Chen Ping came forward with a worried look on his face and said, "Princess, do you remember that I heard some time ago that the prince had released news that he was going to increase taxes on all merchants by 30%, and that he was also going to distribute money to officials above the fifth rank?"

"Well, remember, it's over, isn't it?"

That day she went to pick up Luo Luo and brought him back to the city. She felt something was wrong in Shengjing City, so Chen Ping told her about it.

But after that, so much time has passed and no one has mentioned it. I thought that there were too many people who opposed it, so Ling Heng gave up.

"Every official in the Ministry of Revenue has been assigned a task and sent out to collect money from every household. It's a chaotic situation out there now."

After hearing this, Li Shuangwan was so angry that his chest hurt. Ling Heng was digging his own grave!

The Northern Jin Dynasty was now facing internal and external troubles. It had just pacified the Northern Qi Dynasty and was still in a situation of being besieged on all sides. Instead of thinking about living in peace with the people, he exploited them at all levels and plundered their wealth.

Doesn’t he know that ordinary people are having trouble making ends meet?

Li Shuangwan calmed down and thought it was indeed not worth it. He had lived with him for ten years in his previous life, and in the end his entire family was ruined. Couldn't he see through this man's character?

But then, Li Shuangwan thought of something else and turned to ask the man beside him: "Xingyan, did Su Yueming go to the palace to ask Ling Heng for help yesterday?"

"Well, I went there and knelt outside the East Palace, leaving a hole on my forehead. You mean..." Gu Xingyan also thought of it when he said this.

Li Shuangwan snorted coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Su Yueming is openly on his side, but even so, he still wants to scheme against him. If I'm not mistaken, Ling Heng must have threatened Su Yueming with his son's life to make him bring it up himself."

Li Shuangwan felt that this person was really bad.

"Chen Ping, wait for me for half an hour."

"Yes."

Gu Xingyan saw her stand up and held her hand: "Where are you going?"

"I'll grind the ink for you."

Li Shuangwan looked at his hands with distinct joints and slender fingers: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, is it a waste of talent to use your hands to grind ink for me?"

"It is my honor as a husband to serve you, my lady."

Mo Lin came over with a plate in his hand, eating. Seeing the strange expressions on Hong Shuang and Chen Ping's faces, he asked in confusion, "What are those expressions on your faces?"

"Of course it's delicious. How can Miss Chen Rong's cooking not be delicious?"

Seeing Mo Lin stuffing another piece into his mouth, Chen Ping immediately reached out and tried to grab it.

With Mo Lin's kung fu, could Chen Ping snatch him away?

Just tap your toes and you'll be away.

Maureen ran away.

The two of them started chasing each other in the yard of Qinglan Courtyard like an eagle catching chickens.

Chen Rong was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Brother, stop chasing Master Mo. Master Mo, please stop. You two should stop making trouble."

Yizhu tugged at Chen Rong's sleeve and said with a smile, "Let them have fun. It will be so lively."

Roman and Liu Er also came over, and the two of them standing together looked a perfect match.

Seeing Mo Lin running towards them, Liu Er was afraid that Mo Lin would accidentally hurt Roman, so he quickly reached out to protect him behind him.

Roman had a happy smile on his face.

Hongshuang stood in the pavilion with a faint smile on her face. She looked at them, but her heart was empty.

Maybe I will never have a place to stay in this life.

I was so absorbed in watching that I didn't even notice a man suddenly appeared beside me.

The moment she turned around, she fell into the man's arms.

Shu Wenbo clasped his hands together and gently held the person in his arms.

Hong Shuang blushed and leaned forward: "Master Shu."

Then he turned and left.

Shu Wenbo glanced at the people who were making a lot of noise, then turned to look at the figure who had already left.

Her back looks lonely.

Just now, for a moment, he really wanted to hug the girl in his arms tightly and never let go.

No matter how long it takes, no matter how noisy it is outside.

After Li Shuangwan finished writing, she walked out of the study with Gu Xingyan. Her eyes followed Shu Wenbo's and she saw a hint of red disappearing around the corner.

"Big brother."

Gu Xingyan glanced at him and said nothing. He sat on a chair beside him and reached out to pull the white fox curled up on the recliner onto his legs.

Li Shuangwan understood what Gu Xingyan meant, glared at him, and turned to ask Shu Wenbo: "Brother, why are you here? Why didn't Young Master Liang come?"

"He's with Master Gu. I'm fine. I just came to see you and Brother Nine."

Li Shuangwan did not expose him and ordered someone to bring a chair.

Shu Wenbo lowered his head: "Brother Jiu, I am different from you."

"What's the difference?"

"My mother has found a girl for me. I will get married when I return to Daliang. There will never be a chance for her and I."

Gu Xingyan snorted coldly.

Mo Lin is a bit nervous: "Master Shu, who do you like? If you like someone, why don't you pursue him? It's a lifelong thing. If I were to be with a girl I don't like, we would just be disgusted with each other for the rest of our lives. Wouldn't that be painful? Besides, it wouldn't be fair to that girl either."

Shu Wenbo was stunned, and turned to look at Mo Lin, who was still stuffing snacks into his mouth: "Mo Lin, do you have a girl you like?"

Mo Lin's cheeks were bulging from eating. "Me? I don't have any. Which girl would like a guard like us?"

Gu Xingyan glanced at him dimly: "Why, is being my bodyguard unfair to you?"

"Humph."
