Chapter 788: Repaying a Favor (Finale)

Later, I heard that the officials would whip the people of the Song family thirty more times every day. After a long time, there was not a single piece of good flesh on their bodies.

The people in the Song family have been trying to find ways to commit suicide because they don't want to wait for death every day.

But many officials were watching them, and they couldn't die even if they wanted to.

They ate unnutritious food every day and were not full. Coupled with the weather, everyone in the Song family died on the day the road was completed.

A few days later, all members of the Sheng family were sentenced to be beheaded, including Sheng Lili and Sheng Kunyu.

Nine years later

Song Chuman was fifteen years old.

This year, she opened the largest jewelry workshop in Beijing, which sells all kinds of wrapped flowers and velvet flowers, as well as wrapped flowers and velvet flowers with pearls.

The money in hand has already amounted to tens of millions of taels.

During this period, she went to the distant sea several times and finally collected all the medicinal herbs that Song Hexiu, no, now called Chen Tangyao, needed and cured his heart disease.

He also took several exams and became the top scorer in literature as he wished.

Even though he did not have the status of Crown Prince Gongxuan, no one dared to look down on him.

Song Chuman's family also changed their surnames, and King Gongxuan was renamed, but the original name became a nickname, after all, they were used to it.

When registration was required on important occasions, they would use the name given by King Gongxuan.

The eldest son in the family, now called Shen Youshen, not only became the top military scholar, but also became a general.

Shen Xiaoxuan became a famous female doctor in the capital.

Shen Chuhuai also participated in the martial arts test and became a young general. He now works under his eldest brother.

Shen Chuman is busy with business every day.

As for the remaining twins, they follow their older siblings’ example and study hard every day.

Because they eat food with Shen Chuman's spirit every day, the family members are in good spirits, have better memory than ordinary people, and learn things very quickly.

Even the people from the Shen and Ji families look a lot younger.

…

That day, Shen Chuman was invited by Xiao Xuanli to go to the mountain.

Shen Chuman asked: "What are we doing here?"

Xiao Xuanli smiled and said, "Aman, don't you think you owe me something?"

Shen Chuman said blankly: "I owe you? Oh, you said you helped me, I have paid you back."

Xiao Xuanli had previously promised her that she could propose conditions, even though using backdoors in her previous life was considered despised.

But she felt that in this feudal society, what mattered was connections.

It just so happened that the border war broke out again two years ago, and my eldest brother wanted to go to the battlefield again, but his parents and grandparents refused.

She then handed the condition over to her eldest brother.

The eldest brother asked the emperor to let him go to war.

Xiao Xuanli had no choice but to agree because he had promised Song Chuman before.

But he returned safely a few days ago.

Over the years, Shen Chuman used what she had learned in her previous life to help Xuanling Country improve its land. She also bought beaches and sea areas in dozens of fishing villages to raise seafood. She hired fishermen to work, paid them wages, and improved their lives.

The best pearls she cultivated were either presented as tribute to the imperial palace or kept for herself.

Every time she went out to sea in recent years, she asked the fishermen who went with her to go into the sea and find a lot of pearl shells.

Yang Qingrui and others also accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

In order to make more money, they all learned how to do business. With her guidance, they hired a lot of people to do the work, which helped them increase their income.

She also found various mines for Xiao Xuanli, such as gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, etc.

These years in Xuanling Kingdom can be said to be the richest period since its founding.

Now she has even presented bluefin tuna and king crab to the palace countless times.

Last year, there was a natural disaster and a severe drought. She put space water into the well of the palace so that people in the capital could get it.

In recent years, I occasionally go to inland lakes and stock some seafood that can grow in fresh water, helping many people improve their lives.

What else does she owe Xiao Xuanli?

Xiao Xuanli raised his eyebrows and said, "Aman, have you forgotten our first meeting?"

Shen Chuman frowned and suddenly shuddered, "Are you talking about the grace of saving my life?"

Xiao Xuanli nodded: "Yes, you have to repay the favor."

Shen Chuman frowned: "What I did before, isn't it enough to repay the favor?"

Xiao Xuanli raised an eyebrow: "That was just something you did to thank me for helping you find your brother. It doesn't count as repaying me for saving your life."

Shen Chuman sighed: "Then what do you want?"

Xiao Xuanli didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I need a queen, and I want you to be my queen."

Shen Chuman was startled and said in horror: "Empress...Empress?"

Xiao Xuanli said: "Yes, I don't believe you don't know what I'm thinking. You are so smart."

Shen Chuman hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Okay, I agree."

Xiao Xuanli smiled, walked up to Song Chuman, took her hand, and went down the mountain with satisfaction.

Three months later, the emperor and empress got married.

Xiao Xuanli gave Shen Chuman the most grand wedding since the founding of the country, a lifelong couple.
