Chapter 183: Refusing to Roll Back
Originally, Xiang Tu was going to tell them the answer.
But before he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered what Aunt Wan said before leaving her yard.
Wen Wan: "Look, I can make money with information, and so can you. Believe in yourself, and wealth will be within your reach."
At that time, Xiang Tu didn't know what Wen Wan meant by this sentence.
Now I see Kaneki and Aki with curious faces.
He understood!
"Ten taels of silver, seeing that Agui is injured, eight taels will be enough."
Kaneki: “…”
Agui: "The bond between us brothers is only worth two taels?"
Xiang Tu smiled shamelessly, "Do you want to watch it or not? If not, I'm leaving."
Jinmu and Agui frowned, hesitated for a long time, and then gritted their teeth.
"look!"
With a wave of reverse operations, he learned to apply what he had learned, and not only earned back the ten taels of silver that was cheated out of him, but also made a profit of eight taels.
He threw the folded letter on the table, then turned and ran away.
When Kaneki and Mu saw his attitude, their hearts skipped a beat.
"I have a bad feeling." said Kaneki.
Agui nodded, "Me too."
Kaneki picked up the letter paper on the table and unfolded it, only to see a nursery rhyme written on it.
"Father dies, son is lost, royal blood returns one day, the cycle of heaven returns, auspicious signs descend from heaven, and the people are safe."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help feeling a pang of pain.
Jinmu's face was full of disgust. "Isn't this the nursery rhyme that's been circulating all over the city these days? It's said to have come from a play."
Ah Gui had just returned to the Imperial Capital and didn't understand the situation yet. "What's the play?"
Jin Mu: "It's a fabricated story about a crown prince from a previous dynasty who died and his bloodline was secretly taken away from the palace by a vicious palace servant. The young prince was the reincarnation of a celestial god who had transcended tribulation. He grew up among the common people and experienced all kinds of suffering. When he came of age, he was recognized as his bloodline by the royal family, and then he was given divine power to bring peace to the world."
At first, Agui didn't take the script seriously, but for some reason, the story gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.
Until Kaneki said something again.
"And this little prince has a very special name. It's said that it's based on the Buddhist theory of the appearance of all living things. He has a boy with a female appearance, so he was named Lingling?"
Agui sat up with a somersault, which pulled his wound, and he fell back down in pain.
"What name did you say?"
Kaneki: "Lingling, Lingren's Ling."
Agui: “…”
So, that's how it is.

Three days later, a piece of news even more explosive than the news that the general had a child broke out in the Duan Dynasty.
The royal family recovered the bloodline of the former prince, Qi Lingling.
The cause was a massacre at the Guanyin Temple fair. It was said that a group of bandits learned that the blood of the former prince was still alive in the world and attempted to capture him in order to hold the royal family hostage.
The palace servant who hid the bloodline of the late crown prince was desperate, so he stopped the empress's carriage and made the matter public.
The bandits who were hunting down the palace maid killed many civilians at the temple fair, and the palace maid also died at the hands of the bandits.
Fortunately, the guards accompanying the Queen fought hard and protected the remaining people.
This incident is surprisingly consistent with a play that was popular in the capital some time ago.
Ordinary people who were good at association quickly matched the bloodline of the former crown prince with the little prince who was the reincarnation of a god and was wandering around in the play.
Others told stories about several former princes’ bloodlines performing miracles.
Then, as the rumor spread, it was said that the bloodline of the late crown prince had become the reincarnation of a real god.
After a series of operations, one thing after another, the bloodline of the former crown prince returned to the royal family legitimately.
Even the emperor was under pressure and decided to hold a palace banquet tomorrow to publicly confer the title of King Cang on the descendant of the late crown prince, which means the lost pearl in the sea.
The chief steward of the inner court went to the general's mansion in person to announce the decree.
Shen Yu held the imperial edict respectfully, and after sending the chief steward away, he ordered Xiang Tu to pass the message to the main courtyard.
"Have Zhao prepare a gift and come with me to the palace for the banquet tomorrow."
After Xiang Tu responded, he was about to leave when he was stopped by Shen Yu.
Shen Yu: "By the way, tell Aunt Wan this news as well."
Xiang Tu didn't understand, but he did it anyway.

In the small courtyard, Wen Wan was lying on a rocking chair holding a box of snacks. The lazy sunlight fell on her face, and her porcelain-white skin seemed to be shining, with a kind of delicate beauty.
Gongxi and Facai sat on a low stool beside her and peeled melon seeds for her.
The two little girls also looked at Wen Wan with envy from time to time.
"Aunt Wan is getting prettier and prettier."
"I heard people say that when a mother is pregnant, the more beautiful she becomes, the more likely she is to have a son. Aunt Wan's baby is definitely going to be a little boy."
Hearing this, Wen Wanliang glanced over with a leisurely look, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said nothing.
Forget it, the innocent will be cleared, and only the weak will suffer in proving themselves.
She has always been a person who goes with the flow. No matter how big the problem is, as long as she is still alive, she can eat and drink well.
Since I can't leave the general's mansion for the time being, I'll just enjoy myself for a few more days here.
Apart from anything else, the chef Shen Yu found was good, and the key was that he could understand her ideas very well.
Every time she missed modern cuisine, she would describe a few key points to him, and then he would make it, and he could really make it 80% similar.
The box of snacks in her arms are caramel cookies customized according to her requirements. They are crispy when bitten.
She picked up a cookie from the box and stuffed it into Gongxi's mouth.
"Eat more cookies and talk less. Haven't you heard that you shouldn't talk too much about the baby when the pregnancy is unstable?"
Congratulations, she smacked her lips a few times, swallowed the biscuit, and said in shock, "I will never say that again."
Wen Wan smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy."
Gong Xi changed the subject, "Auntie Wan, the pastries you taught Chef Zheng to make are much more delicious than those made in the pastry shop. Why don't you open a pastry shop in the future? You will definitely make a lot of money."
"Open a shop?" Wen Wan waved her hand to refuse.
Fa Cai also wondered, "Why not?"
Wen Wan curled her lips, "Because... I'm tired."
In her previous life, she died suddenly from overwork. In this life, as long as she can have a meal, she will never work overtime again!
She has died once, so she can be more open-minded than others.
What are money and power? Aren’t they all part of the process of striving to improve happiness?
Even the life is gone, what sense of happiness is there?
Therefore, in this life, Wen Wan has only one goal: to eat well, drink well, play well, and sleep well...
As for sleeping, of course you can only sleep well if you sleep with a handsome guy with eight-pack abs.
It seems that I can no longer rely on this bastard Shen Yu. The only thing I can do now is to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
The sky is high and the sea is vast. Once she finds the next one, she will naturally forget him!
When Xiang Tu walked into the yard, he saw Aunt Wan lying on a rocking chair, smiling in a very creepy way.
He shuddered suddenly, feeling a fear that came from his soul.
His general has been feeling down these days because of Aunt Wan, but Aunt Wan is doing...
Seems very moisturizing?
Xiang Tu felt sorry for his general, so when he sent a message to Wen Wan, his tone was not polite.
