Chapter 227 Prepare a Thin Coffin

"Is there anyone who can be selected?" Lu Mingchao glanced to the side.

Shu Yuan appears and disappears mysteriously "Princess Pingning."

It can be said that the Grand Eunuch who was most trusted by Emperor Chengxiang was the one who understood the grievances, hatreds, and entanglements of the noble and official families best.

The emperor needs to make trade-offs and restrictions, so Shu Yuan naturally has to find out everything clearly.

Shu Yuan held a peach petal in the corner of his mouth, looking quite romantic and uninhibited. "The Duke of Zhen and the consort of Princess Yongming have been friends for half their lives in the military."

"Their fathers were good friends. Princess Pingning and Duke Zhenguo had a crush on each other since they were young."

"Princess Yongming's Mansion and Duke Zhenguo's Mansion are pleased to see this happen."

"However, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was born in the Wuxing Shen clan, accompanied her mother back to her maternal home to attend the funeral. They encountered civil unrest, and the Duke of Zhenguo was ordered to lead troops to quell the unrest."

"What happened next was very natural."

"The hero rescued the beauty, and the beauty was astonished and fell in love with him. Later, after hearing the news that the Duke of Zhenguo was seriously injured in the battle with the foreign barbarians, she abandoned her pride as a noble lady and rushed to take care of him. The Duke of Zhenguo was deeply moved, and the story became a legend for a while."

"Princess Pingning, who knelt before the Buddha in the capital and prayed day and night for her childhood sweetheart to escape danger and return in triumph, has become a laughing stock."

"The Duke of Zhenguo did return triumphantly, but he did so after falling in love with the beautiful lady."

Lu Mingchao's eyes widened and he pursed his lips.

There can be three hundred small movements in a moment.

Isn’t this the classic introduction to the once popular story of chasing one’s wife to the crematorium?

The fiancé returned triumphantly from the battle, and he brought back his beloved.

The only difference is that there is no crematorium for chasing your wife.

The Duke of Zhenguo and his wife have been loving and dependent on each other through thick and thin for decades.

However, Lady Zhenguogong rushed to the border for thousands of miles?

This is really not something that the wife of the Duke of Zhen, who is known for her emphasis on rules and etiquette, would do.

Lu Mingchao nudged Xie Yan with his elbow. "Is the discipline in the military camp so lax?"

Xie Yan said righteously, "That is absolutely not the case."

"Anyone who appears in the military camp without any reason will be treated as a traitor or a thief."

"Yo yo yo." Shu Yuan put his hand on Xie Yan's shoulder and stretched out his voice, "How did Princess Pingning's childhood sweetheart get robbed?"

Xie Yan rolled his eyes at Shu Yuan and said, "You have served in the Northern Army before, so you should know that what I said is true."

Shu Yuan coughed lightly, his eyes rolling around, "Let's get back to the topic. I'll continue telling you about the old days."

"The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo came later and took precedence. She also began to mind the affection between the Duke of Zhenguo and Princess Pingning, who had known each other since childhood, and she often quarreled with Princess Pingning."

"As time went by, the relationship between the Yongming Grand Princess's family and the Zhenguo Duke's family faded, to the point where they would smile at each other and then turn around and sneer at each other."

Princess Yongming was the elder sister of Emperor Wencheng. During the reign of Emperor Wencheng, she was promoted to Princess Chang. When Emperor Jingxiang ascended the throne, she was given the title Princess Da Chang. After the current emperor murdered his nephew and seized the throne, the throne should have been restored according to the generation distribution, but it is unknown why it has been delayed for so long.

Therefore, she is still respected as the Grand Princess.

Although the eldest princess is old, she still has some power. Princess Pingning leans against a big tree to enjoy the coolness.

"To sum up," Shu Yuan clapped his hands, "Princess Pingning is very happy to add insult to injury."

Lu Mingchao poured a cup of tea, tapped the edge of the cup with his fingertips, and slowly circled it a few times, and whispered, "The difficulty is how to convey it to Princess Pingning in a natural and logical way."

Xie Yan's eyes flickered, and he said firmly, "Xu Qingxing's great aunt."

Shu Yuan blinked and raised the corners of his mouth, "Wonderful, wonderful."

"The wife of the Xu family of Runan has a close relationship with Princess Pingning."

"It is reasonable both in public and in private to treat Gu Huai's actions in Changhe County as a fun matter of gambling for the sake of friendship."

After the serious matters were settled, Lu Mingchao took a sip of tea and asked, "Isn't today a day off for the private school?"

"I calculated with my fingers in Changxi Village and knew that you and Xie Yan were in trouble and were worried, so I came without delay to show my divine power." Shu Yuan's eyes and eyebrows were lively, his spirits were high, and his hairband fluttered in the wind.

If the Shu Yuan that was first seen on the back hill of Changxi Village could be likened to an ink painting that had weathered the years, become mottled and yellowed, dull in color, and lifeless, then the Shu Yuan at this moment was like a freehand landscape, flower-and-bird painting outlined in bright colors, with smooth and effortless brushstrokes, and completed in one go, full of life and vigor.

He is like a young man in his twenties who is so romantic when looking at mountains and rivers.

Lu Mingchao sighed, saying that appearance is determined by the heart, and he did not deceive her.

Xie Yan pulled down Shu Yuan's arm that was draped like cartilage around his shoulders and said, "Speak human language."

Shu Yuan sighed, "It's hard to refuse such kindness, I can't resist it."

"In Changxi Village, from old ladies in their 80s to young girls in their 28s, they are all eager to find a partner for me."

"I am exhausted both physically and mentally, so I decided to just do it now."

The look on their faces was like a group of hungry wild dogs seeing a fragrant bone.

He is petite and frail, and is afraid.

Lu Mingchao smiled and said jokingly, "Brother Shu, have you ever heard of a saying that it is hard to refuse a kind invitation, but it is disrespectful to refuse it. It is better to obey than to be respectful."

Shu Yuan glared at Lu Mingchao and said, "There are still many young widows and wives who miss Xie Yan."

"It is better to obey than to be respectful."

Lu Mingchao: She is just a bad talker.

Shu Yuan: Yeah, another win.

Shu Yuan smiled widely, like a peacock spreading its feathers. "By the way, sister-in-law, did Xie Yan tell you about letting Lu Santu become his disciple?"

Lu Mingchao nodded.

"What do you think?" Shu Yuan asked.

He could see that Lu Yao respected Lu Mingchao's suggestions very much.

Lu Mingchao: "I raise my hands and feet in approval."

Shu Yuan: "It's settled."

"Ru'an, Jingyi, your wise uncle, who is unique in the world, is back."

Shu Yuan raised his voice and searched.

Uncle Congming, also known as Da Congming.

Xie Yan helped Lu Mingchao sit down on the armchair, carefully placed the thick cushion behind Lu Mingchao's waist, and said softly, "Mingchao, I will go to County Magistrate Xu to discuss the follow-up matters."

"You've worked so hard today, take a good rest."

"I'll bring you peach blossom cakes and pear blossom pastries when I get home."

It is the time when peach and plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the pastries are filled with the fragrance of spring.

Lu Mingchao grabbed Xie Yan's sleeve, trembling with his lips, not knowing how to start talking.

Xie Yan chuckled and patted the back of Lu Mingchao's hand. "Mingchao, I know."

Lu Mingchao exhaled softly, "Ayan, it's not that I'm sympathetic."

"It's just that he did me a favor before he died. I can't just ignore it."

"If no one collects his body, I hope Ah Yan can give the jailer some change and instruct him to prepare a thin coffin for him so that his body will not be left exposed in the wilderness."

"If someone dismembers his body, he will give the silver to the dismemberer."

"That's all, that's all."

Sun Zhiye risked his life to hand her a ladder.

Since she has accepted this ladder, she should ensure that Sun Zhiye's funeral is decent.

Only in this way can she feel at ease.

Otherwise, a small debt may become more and more serious over the years.
