Chapter 1111: Confusion of right and wrong
The current position of the two made Ling Yun feel a little uncomfortable. He quickly let go of Shen Qingning, coughed lightly and asked, "If I come to propose marriage, will your family look down on me because I am alone?"
Shen Qingning was slightly stunned, "Why do you ask this?"
"Just now, there was a fool with a similar background to me who fell in love with a woman of the same social status as the Shen family. He was worried that she would not accept him, so he pulled me to complain." Ling Yun turned away and made up a specious excuse.
But Shen Qingning was a straight-laced woman, and when she heard the question, she subconsciously replied, "I don't know about other families, but in my family, whether we're choosing a daughter-in-law or marrying off a daughter, we look at whether she has good character, whether she's enterprising, and what her family traditions are like. I've never heard of anyone disliking someone who's alone."
Moreover, with her personality, she is not suitable to marry into a wealthy family. Ling Yun is just right. When the two of them are together in the future, there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and no other messy interpersonal relationships, which saves her a lot of trouble.
Of course, she felt sorry for what Ling Yun had gone through since childhood, but those were already facts, and it was useless for her to just feel sorry for him. She might as well think more about how to live their life in the future.
Ling Yun didn't know that she had thought so far. After hearing her words, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. Except for the family tradition, he still met the Shen family's standards for recruiting a son-in-law.
As for family traditions, they would naturally develop when he had his own family. However, he believed that with a daughter-in-law like Shen Qingning, his family traditions would definitely not be bad.
"That's why you came here to ask this." Shen Qingning saw his silly smile and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Are you afraid of being rejected by my mother? Are you going to propose marriage?"
Ling Yun only then realized that he had been impulsive and quickly shook his head in embarrassment, "No, I have to wait until the war is over before I even talk about proposing marriage. I just wanted to ask for that person."
"Who is that man and which girl does he like?" Shen Qingning asked curiously.
Ling Yun shook his head, "You'll know later."
Afraid that she would ask more questions, Ling Yun immediately said: "I have something to do in the army, so I will go back first. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
After saying that, he jumped out of the window in a flash, and his movements were so fast that Shen Qingning had no time to react.
"Really? What kind of person would wake me up in the middle of the night just to ask a few questions?" Shen Qingning was speechless and lay back down to continue sleeping.
But the light kiss just now kept lingering in her mind, so much so that she tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before she fell asleep.
In Linzhou, ever since the military advisor returned with his men, the people of Linzhou have been living in dire straits.
The government's tax documents changed three times a day, and all kinds of levies and taxes were imposed under different names, which made the people miserable.
"Have the government gone mad? The weather is so bad this year that we can't even plant crops during the spring, and yet they're still asking us to pay so much in taxes?"
"Oh my God! How can we survive?"
"Let's all starve to death together. There's nothing to eat anyway, and I don't know who will die first, starving or freezing."
The government pretended not to hear the people's discussions. After the notice was issued, officials and soldiers immediately went to the people's homes to plunder food and property.
That’s right, their target is not only food, but also property.
Someone noticed something was wrong and tried their best to stop the officers and soldiers who came to plunder, but they got an answer that was completely confusing right and wrong.
"If you want to blame someone, blame the late Crown Prince. If he hadn't planned to attack Linzhou, would our master have ignored your lives?"
"Even if we don't want your things, do you think the former crown prince doesn't want them? He might even want more than we do!"
"That's right, you better be smart and hand over your things. When we win the battle, we'll always have something to eat for you."
