Chapter 310 Why was Liu Shu put in the position of Prince of Zhenbei?
(Thanks to "Don't Bother Me" for casting 4 monthly tickets.)
The act of patricide is something that most people would never even consider, let alone do.
Yan Jiuniang was stunned when she heard Li Shiyue say, "He's dead, you'll be free."
The short sentence, less than ten words, seemed to weigh a ton, and it rammed directly into Yan Jiuniang's head, knocking her to the ground and causing her to fall headfirst.
But the words "patricide" were not the first time they had crossed Li Shiyue's mind.
When she first transmigrated, facing her scumbag father, Li Shiyue had several times wanted to stab him in the chest with a knife and end him with one blow.
Even though she inherited the emotions of the original owner, Li Shiyue, she still harbored murderous intent when faced with her father's repeated selfish and self-serving actions!
However, before Li Shiyue could suppress her desire to kill her father, her scumbag father fell into the sea.
In this era, no, in any era, patricide is an act of utter depravity.
But frankly speaking, given Yan Jiuniang's current situation, there is only one way to truly solve her problem at its root: directly and physically eliminate the Prince of Zhenbei.
Only when the Prince of Zhenbei dies can Yan Jiuniang be free, take control of her own life, and protect the Yan family and her mother in Qingyun Temple.
Li Shiyue had even thought of a way out for Yan Jiuniang.
While Yan Jiuniang was still in a daze, Li Shiyue also pulled her feet out of the river and sat cross-legged on the rock, facing Yan Jiuniang.
The bright moonlight shone on the two of them, and a gentle breeze blew by, ruffling their hair.
Listening to the rushing water and the chirping of insects, Li Shiyue looked into Yan Jiuniang's eyes and said, word by word, "Only by killing him, by making him completely dead, will no one in this world be able to control your marriage or give your life away to someone else at will."
You can then marry a man you like and who suits your taste, just like other women.
Or you can continue being Mr. Yan, managing the caravan, and doing what you love.
You can also protect your uncle's family, preserve Qingyun Temple, and ensure that your mother, uncle, and grandmaster live well and happily.
Jiu Niang, as long as he dies, everything will be alright.
However, he was, after all, the ruler of Andong, and it was not easy to kill him.
Furthermore, after his death, is it necessary for Liu Shu to take over?
"So, Jiu Niang," Li Shiyue reached out to take Yan Jiu Niang's hand, feeling the coldness of Yan Jiu Niang's fingertips, and tightly covered Yan Jiu Niang's hand in her own palm.
"You need help, and the Great General is your best helper!"
"Brother? He..."
"right!
Why was Liu Shu made the position of Prince of Zhenbei?
Doesn't the general deserve it?
Isn't he more deserving of that position than Liu Shu?
As Li Shiyue spoke, Yan Jiuniang's mind drifted from the Prince of Zhenbei to Liu Shu, and then the image in her mind shifted to Liu Tan.
"Work with the General to come up with a good plan."
He helps you, you help him, and you can gain your freedom and protect your family;
Wouldn't it be good if he could sit in that position?
With him around, the aftermath of this matter became much simpler.
Of course, Ninth Sister, this matter is important. Today I have spoken it and now it has entered your ears. If you do not wish to do it in the future, I will deny that I ever said such a thing to you.
If you can't bring yourself to do it, I suggest you talk to your mother or your uncle about it.
If you can all accept that you should obey your father's wishes and marry into the Turkic Khaganate, then you should take advantage of the fact that your father still needs to keep you in check and make you obedient before you get married, ask your father for more benefits, and when you get married, take your uncle's family with you and leave Andong.
Otherwise, your uncle's family will definitely become leverage for your father to control and threaten you in the future!
Having said this, Li Shiyue let go of Yan Jiuniang's hand and picked up her own shoes and socks to put on.
While putting on her shoes and socks, Li Shiyue said, "Alright, it's late. We should go back now, or my mother will worry and come looking for us."
Yan Jiuniang first said "Ah," and then realized what Li Shiyue meant and responded with an "Mmm." The two walked side by side back to Li Shiyue's house.
Sure enough, when Li Shiyue was still a few feet away from her door, she saw someone standing there with a lantern, waiting.
"Why were you out for so long?"
When Li's mother saw the two of them return, she said this. Only when Li Shiyue got closer did Li's mother notice that both Li Shiyue and Yan Jiuniang had their trouser legs rolled up.
"Did they go to the river to play in the water?"
What if I accidentally fall down late at night?
"Come inside quickly, turn on the light and check. Maybe you've been bitten by mosquitoes without even realizing it!"
The following day, Li Shiyue, Li Qiutian, Li Xiatian, Li Wangshui, and Li Shiliang escorted Zhou Yiran and Yan Jiuniang's two groups out of Lijiatun, watching them head deeper into the grassland until they were out of sight. Only then did the group ride back to Lijiatun.
As soon as Li Shiyue returned, she saw more than twenty people, both men and women, waiting by the field.
Yes, today was as Li Shiyue had announced in advance, asking each household in Lijiatun to send people to dig a reservoir on another piece of land that belonged to Li Shiyue.
This job wasn't for the village; it was done specifically for Li Shiyue.
Naturally, he couldn't let people work for free. Li Shiyue had arranged in advance that he would provide one meal a day and pay them thirty copper coins a day.
Li Shiyue's assigned land was located on the edge of Lijiatun. Although it was said to be on the edge, it actually required crossing a low mountain to reach the land.
This area is certainly more than four qing (a unit of area), but originally, it followed the path of General Liu Tan, and areas exceeding four qing were all classified as wasteland.
In short, Li Shiyue benefited.
After crossing the mountain, they arrived at the Zhitian area. The three tenant farmers belonging to Li Shiyue were very diligent. It was only dawn, and they were already working with hoes.
"My lord!"
Li Shiyue nodded to Niu Dali, the oldest of the three tenant farmers, who was actually only in his forties, and said, "I brought my people here to dig a pond. If you're not busy, you can come and help."
I'll send someone to cook lunch; a full day's work will earn you thirty copper coins.
Over the past three years, Niu Dali has become familiar with Li Shiyue's ways. If Li Shiyue says he will provide meals, he will provide meals, and they will definitely include meat. If he says he will pay wages, he will definitely pay them!
Therefore, after bowing to Li Shiyue, Niu Dali carried his hoe back into the house to gather people to help dig the pond.
There is a small stream next to this farmland. The stream comes from the main river in Lijiatun and is a branch of the main river downstream.
Moreover, this piece of land was carefully selected by Li Shiyue. Not only does it have this stream as a water source, but there is also a mountain spring at the foot of the low hill next to it.
However, this mountain spring is only as thick as a human finger. It gushes out from inside the mountain and must be an underground river flowing from within the mountain. It is unknown how it got there, but it flowed out from the cracks in the rocks.
By the time the reservoir was dug and water was ready to be drawn in, it was already the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month that year, Lijiatun had another joyous occasion.
