Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Chapter 197 Mo Lingchen's Wedding

"Well, she gave me a sum of money, enough for me to spend for the rest of my life. It's not a loss to follow him for a few years."

"He wanted me to leave, but I didn't want to leave. I grew up here and I don't know anyone else. I don't know where to go."

"We will no longer have any contact from now on. He won't come looking for me, and I won't bother her. I believe Princess Qinghe won't bother me again."

Su Yujiao knew that she felt sad. Being forced to separate from the person she loved was not a pleasant feeling.

She didn't say too many words of comfort. After all, a short pain is worse than a long one. The feelings will fade over time.

I hope her fate will change from now on and not end up in such a tragic way.

Just after the Lantern Festival, the emperor received news of defeat at the front and became furious.

So, the emperor sent Lu Ziqian to lead the troops personally. After all, his leg had healed, and he was an undefeated general of Daming Kingdom. There was no reason for the emperor not to send him.

When the Minister of Revenue learned that the emperor was going to send Lu Ziqian, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night.

How come that loser Marquis Jing'an lost the battle?

Didn’t he say that using gunpowder to attack the Jin Dynasty would easily lead to victory?

How can this be good?

Once Lu Ziqian leaves, the issue of military rations will definitely be exposed.

But the emperor has already issued the decree, who can make him change his mind?

Yes, Prince of Beijing!

Prince Beijing is the emperor's favorite and the only prince to be crowned king.

As long as I turn to him, he will definitely help me deal with it.

So, Wang Liyang prepared 100,000 taels of silver notes and went to the Prince of Beijing's Mansion in person to express his sincerity.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from your humble servant. Please accept it."

Chu Zhongyuan looked at the thick stack of large-denomination banknotes and said indifferently, "What do you mean, Lord Shangshu?"

Wang Liyang knelt down and said, "Please, Your Majesty, save me and stop Lu Ziqian from leading his troops to the front."

"Why?"

"Everyone knows that Lu Ziqian is a master at using troops. He is the only one who can win this battle. No one is more suitable than him."

"This subordinate deserves to die. This subordinate is guilty."

"I have been an honest official for decades and have never embezzled a penny. Yet, when my mother fell ill, I had no money to treat her."

"That's why I did such a foolish thing."

Chu Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows: "Have you embezzled military funds?"

When Chu Zhongyuan saw that he took the initiative to hand over his handle to him, he knew that he was here to surrender.

"I didn't dare embezzle military funds. I just... I just did a little trick with the food. I replaced the new food with the old food. Anyway, the new food and the old food are both edible."

"I just make a small profit from the difference."

"We thought we were going to win the war, but Marquis Jing'an messed it up."

"If Lu Ziqian went to the front line, he would definitely find out about the replacement of old food with new."

"Please, Your Majesty, save me. I am only here to treat my mother."

"This is the remaining silver. I haven't touched a single cent. I've given it all to you, Your Highness."

"Please, Your Majesty, save me." Wang Liyang, who was over fifty years old, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, Chu Zhongyuan personally helped Minister Wang up.

He was short of manpower at that time, and the Minister of Revenue was the person in charge of the national finances.

If he could get this person under his control, it would be a great help to him, so he would naturally not refuse him.

"Master Wang, please don't do such foolish things in the future."

"This time, I will help you out of your filial piety. If there is a next time..."

"I dare not, I absolutely do not dare."

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Your Highness. I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul, even as a dog or a horse."

After the two reached an agreement, Wang Liyang left the palace with ease, and Chu Zhongyuan entered the palace at a leisurely pace.

In a short while, the Lu family received the imperial edict, which roughly meant that the emperor valued talented generals, and since Lu Ziqian's leg had just recovered, he should continue to rest at home.

It just so happened that General Chen of Chenzhou had returned from rescuing Princess Qingyao, so let Chenzhou lead his troops there.

When Lu Ziqian received the imperial edict, his face turned ashen.

Chu Zhongyuan is really good at selecting people. He was born in Chenzhou as a commoner and rose to the top based on his real talents and knowledge. He has no power in the capital.

As long as his family is under control, even if he finds out about the military rations, they won't dare to say a word.

But does he think he can cover the sky with one hand like this?

Once the battle is over and the soldiers return, he will give Chu Zhongyuan a big gift.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Princess Qinghe's wedding, and people from the entire capital came out to join in the fun.

The wedding procession was huge, with drums and music playing all the way, and it was very lively.

Wherever the princess's sedan chair went, a silk red carpet was laid, which was extremely luxurious.

Mo Lingchen was riding a tall horse, wearing a red robe, looking majestic and glorious.

However, the man's expression was indifferent. There was no joy or anticipation on his face. Instead, he looked serious and rigid, as if he was completing a task.

Jin Mudan sat in the yard. Even though the door was closed, the sounds of joy and happiness from the street could clearly reach her ears.

Su Yujiao took out a 30,000 and played it: "Mudan, it's your turn, play your card."

"Oh."

"fifty thousand."

"You have a 50,000 bar, why did you fight?"

"Don't be distracted, just focus."

In order to divert her attention, Su Yujiao took out mahjong, but it seemed to be of no use.

Jin Mudan was sitting at home, but her heart had already flown away.

"Let's have hot pot tonight. You can have a couple of drinks with me."

"it is good."

"Come with me to the street to buy some food later."

Jin Mudan shook her head: "I won't go. I'll stay at home to look after the kids."

"also."

If she saw wedding signs and red carpets all over the streets, she would feel uncomfortable again.

Jin Mudan couldn't concentrate on playing cards, so playing mahjong became boring and she closed the stall early.

Three days later in the afternoon, Su Yujiao went to Jin Mudan's store to take a look, planning to renovate it and cooperate with Jin Mudan on some new projects.

Next, she will focus on making money, because only with money can she have confidence.

When Su Yujiao came back from the store, Xiaotao was looking anxiously at the door.

"Miss, you are finally back."

"what happened?"

"Sister Mudan was taken away by people from the Princess's Mansion."

"what?"

"Why do they take people away?"

"Should we take him away or capture him?"

"Did you give a reason?"

Xiao Tao shook her head. "Not long after you left, four guards with swords and two maids arrived. They simply said, 'The princess wants to see you.'"

"Hu Zi, Shi Tou and the others who tried to stop them were all injured, and Sister Mudan was directly captured."

Su Yujiao frowned. What was Princess Qinghe doing?

You have already married Mo Lingchen as you wished, why are you still causing trouble?

Why can’t we let Peony go?

"Let's go to the princess's mansion."

"Miss, can you come in?"

"You are just a county lady, but I am a real princess."

Su Yujiao looked anxious: "Let's talk about it after we get there."

She was a little worried. Could it be that Mudan's fate had not changed yet?
