The princess was rich and powerful, possessed unfathomable divine strength, and treated them with kindness and generosity, always bestowing upon them the finest things.

Not to mention the elixirs that could enhance their physique and internal strength, the food they ate every day was simply divinely delicious; their palates had become incredibly discerning.

Anyway, these days we can't live without delicious food.

Furthermore, with the emperor's abdication and the capital in turmoil, many positions have changed hands. If they return to the capital now, they may not have a place to stay.

It would be better to simply serve the princess wholeheartedly.

As for their family members who live far away in the capital, they will write to ask them to move to Yucheng County. If they are unwilling to come, then so be it.

Sheng Lingwei nodded, "Alright, if they want to stay, then they can stay. I welcome them."

Zhao Dong immediately grinned and thanked her, "Thank you, Princess. My brothers and I will always be loyal to you."

Sheng Lingwei smiled as she looked at Zhao Dong. Although he didn't have his brother's eloquence, he was still a useful person, and at least in terms of loyalty, he could be trusted.

"Zhao Dong, I hereby appoint you as the Assistant Commander of Yucheng County, responsible for the security of the entire Yucheng County and the management of public order within the city."

As for your soldiers, select a thousand suitable men for now, and train them all in a military-style manner. Their monthly salaries will naturally be substantial.

She has plenty of money.

Zhao Dong's eyes lit up with an astonishing light, and he hurriedly and respectfully accepted the order, "Yes, Princess. Oh, by the way, Princess, I am not very good at training soldiers. I recommend Instructor Robin Yueluo. He is an expert in his field and is the most suitable candidate."

Robin Yue, Luo Xingyuan's father, was the chief instructor of the Imperial Guards. He was falsely accused of forming cliques and his family was confiscated and he was exiled to Yucheng County because he failed to win over the Second Prince.

In truth, Instructor Luo is indeed the most suitable person to train soldiers.

Sheng Lingwei nodded, "Alright, appoint Robin as the instructor, responsible for training soldiers for me."

Before Zhao Dong could even reply, Luo Xingyuan interrupted, "Yay! Boss, thank you so much! If my dad doesn't find something to do, he'll get sick from boredom."

Sheng Lingwei's lips twitched a few times. "Ah Yuan, it can't be that exaggerated!"

Luo Xingyuan nodded emphatically, then sighed deeply, her expression indescribable.

"Boss, is it really that exaggerated? You don't know my dad. If he has nothing to do, he'll be hanging around me all day, nagging on and on."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to make a large sphere.

"Look at me, my dad is such a big third wheel, shining on me from every angle. I can't even have a proper date, as if he's afraid Tianling will eat me up."

And my brother, boss, don't forget him. Get him a job too, and see if he dares to act arrogantly just because he's your brother-in-law.

Robin and his son: ...You are such a good daughter (good sister), always siding with outsiders.

The group exchanged smiles.

Alright, this girl is standing up for her lover.

Seeing the teasing looks from everyone, even though Liang Tianling was thick-skinned, she couldn't hold back anymore and blushed as she tugged at Luo Xingyuan.

“Ah Yuan, stop talking. You’re not married to me yet, so it’s normal for your uncle and older brother to have these thoughts.”

Luo Xingyuan, who is obsessed with love, cares most about Liang Tianling now and listens to him the most.

Of course, Sheng Lingwei will always be number one in her heart.

It's fortunate that Liang Tianling is a reliable person; if it were someone else, she would have been sold out and would still be smiling and helping to count the money.

Luo Xingyuan shrugged. "Tianling, if you told me not to say anything, then I won't."

Liang Tianling breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Sheng Lingwei thought for a moment and said to Luo Xingyuan, "Ayuan, your brother will serve as the deputy commander of Yucheng County and work with Zhao Dong to defend Yucheng County."

Luo Xingyuan immediately smiled and nodded, "Thank you, boss. My brother will be very happy."

Sheng Lingwei nodded and looked at Ji Yi.

"Ji Yi, you were originally the magistrate of Gancao County, and you have had lofty ambitions since childhood. As your boss, I should naturally help you. This time, I am appointing you as the prefect of Yucheng County to cooperate with Lord Zheng in carrying out various tasks. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi's brows furrowed, and he quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"Boss, what's so good about being an official? I don't want to be an official anymore. Not only is there no freedom, but you also have to do a lot of things. Right now, I just want to follow you and live a carefree life."

Yue Mingxi immediately rolled her eyes. "Brother Ji Yi, the boss is doing you a favor by appointing you as the prefect. If you're not willing, then I'll take your place. I don't mind."

"Pah!" Ji Yi glared at Yue Mingxi with disgust. "You? Have you ever been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics? Have you ever been familiar with the laws of Northern Qi?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but with your carefree and irresponsible attitude, you're not cut out to be an official. The people will never trust you."

Yue Mingxi said irritably, "You talk as if you're so great, but you're unwilling to take the position of prefect, and you don't want me to be competent. You're just occupying a position without doing your job."

“You…” Ji Yi choked for a moment. He was about to refute Yue Mingxi, but Sheng Lingwei stopped him.

"Alright, stop arguing. What kind of behavior is this, brothers arguing like this? You're not afraid of making a fool of yourselves, but I am."

After speaking, Sheng Lingwei glanced at the members of the Bloodthirsty Black Rose, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Times have changed. From now on, Yucheng County will be where we live. To put it bluntly, we will spend our whole lives here."

You have plenty of time ahead of you, and you can't just do nothing productive and spend all your time wasting your time with me.

Have you ever thought about how you will support your children after you get married and have them, and how you will set a good example for them?

After saying that, Sheng Lingwei sighed and continued frankly, "You are all grown up now, you should have a clear plan, instead of just fighting and killing like before."

I can afford to support you, and I'm even willing to help raise your future children.

But I hope even more that you can have your own goals, your own ambitions, or your own interests and hobbies. Do you all understand?

The "past days" here refers to one's previous life.

Yue Mingxi, Fang Xiuer, Luo Xingyuan, Liang Tianling, Shen Yang, Shen Xin, Ji Yi, and Liu Zi were all blushing and felt extremely ashamed after being talked about.

To be honest, it's been a long time since the boss has scolded them, and I... kind of miss it.

However, the eldest brother is right. This world is ultimately different from the advanced world. They also have family members they care about and will get married and have children in the future.

We can't live without goals, drifting aimlessly through life like children who never grow up.

No wonder the boss scolded them.

Ji Yi stood up, glanced cautiously at Sheng Lingwei, and quickly shrank back to apologize.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have rejected your good intentions. I've made up my mind. I'm willing to serve as the prefect of Yucheng County and help you manage Yucheng County well."

That's fine too.

He was able to take this opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a just and upright official who could stand up for the people.
