In her previous life, her parents died in an accident and her brother was left disabled, making Zhou Zhi live a wretched existence. Starting over in this life, with both her parents alive and her b...
Chen Wufu bowed and listened silently to Emperor Liang Cheng. Emperor Liang Cheng had five adult sons, each shrewd and capable, and each vying for the position under him. Emperor Liang Cheng himself was not old enough to be incapable of doing anything, so why would he give way to his sons? He simply let his sons cause trouble. They could cause trouble as they pleased, as long as they didn't go too far, Emperor Liang Cheng wouldn't interfere. But with his desire for control, he knew exactly what his sons were doing.
Emperor Liang Cheng had witnessed the interactions between the Northern Di and the princes of the capital. He wanted to see what Wei Lang and Xu Rao were capable of, so he let his sons run wild for a while. As it turned out, Wei Lang and Xu Rao did not disappoint Emperor Liang Cheng. "It's just a small county town that has been ruined by the Northern Di. We'll just build a better one, even better than the original. We're just short of money. Whoever caused the trouble will pay for it."
Emperor Liang Cheng smiled and said, "Xu Rao said he will start rebuilding the new city next spring. Wu Fu, you should always pay back what you owe. My children are princes, but they are still human. I'll see how much they can pay back then. There's no such thing as not paying back debts in this world. Alright, go to the Yongning Marquis's residence and send back Xu Rao's letter. Also, bring some things for Old Madam Xu, and these 'Fu' characters. When the Xu family sends people to Hexi, go to my inner treasury and find some suitable items to take with them. With a minister like Xu Rao, I am truly gratified!"
Chen Wufu, accompanied by a guard, arrived quietly at the Yongning Marquis's residence. He spoke with the Marquis of Yongning in the study behind closed doors for a long time. After taking his leave, the Marquis of Yongning sat in the study for a while before taking the things Chen Wufu had brought and hurriedly going to the old lady's courtyard.
Marquis Yongning naturally knew that Chen Wufu had come behind his back. He immediately cut off the source of information from the study in the front courtyard. The people in the back courtyard did not know that someone had come to the study in the front courtyard. They only saw that the Marquis had a sullen face and was followed by several people carrying things. They went to the old lady's courtyard. The huge back courtyard of the Marquis's mansion gradually became restless.
