Chapter 188 The Princess Returns Home After Recovering from Her Injury

Princess Xia Yuting is the daughter of Prince An, the younger brother of the current emperor.

Prince An has only this one daughter, and he dotes on Xia Yuting very much.

When she reached the age of marriage, the emperor issued an edict to marry her to Lu Fengdu, the son of the general who protected the country.

After their marriage, the couple lived in harmony. The following year, Xia Yuting gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Their relationship remained unchanged.

A few years later, the emperor took the royal family to Mount Wutai to pray for blessings, and met an assassin on the way.

The assassins were remnants of the previous dynasty, well-trained and equipped with bows and arrows.

Lu Fengdu went to protect the emperor, and there were many dangers around him. Suddenly, an arrow shot straight at him.

Seeing that her husband was in danger, Xia Yuting stepped forward to block the arrow without thinking.

In the end, Lu Feng was safe and sound, but Xia Yuting fell into a deep coma.

In the end, Lu Fengdu ran to the Valley of Divine Doctors and knelt for three days and three nights before he begged the valley master, who had long since retired from worldly affairs, to come to the rescue and save Xia Yuting.

However, after Xia Yuting wakes up, she still needs to recuperate in the Valley of Divine Doctors for three years before she can recover.

The Divine Doctor Valley was secluded and free from the hustle and bustle of the world, perfect for recuperation. So Xia Yuting decided to stay.

Three years later, she originally wanted to return home to give her husband and children a surprise, but she was frightened by her husband and children first.

Suddenly, a woman appeared in the house, managing the household affairs. She chatted and laughed happily with her husband and enjoyed herself with her children.

Even her children call her mother!

Xia Yuting broke down and made a lot of noise and noise in the house, trying to win back the hearts of her husband and children, but they all treated her as a psycho.

The Great Xia Dynasty had just overthrown the previous dynasty and was still unstable. Neighboring countries were eyeing it covetously, and the border was even more turbulent.

General Lu, the Protector of the Nation, was a former general of the previous dynasty. After the founding of the Great Xia, the emperor, in order to win over his old ministers and given General Lu's military talent, sent him to guard the border.

He even asked Xia Yuting to marry his son.

The borders were still plagued by frequent wars, and the emperor was having trouble dealing with Lu Fengdu. He ordered the empress to reprimand Bai Yuyue, saying she didn't know the difference between high and low and was disrespectful to her mistress.

Bai Yuyue was slapped in front of her servants. She was so ashamed and angry that she hanged herself that night.

Lu Fengdu was furious. At this point, his relationship with Xia Yuting had reached a freezing point. He discussed the matter with his two children, who then behaved very obediently, bringing medicine to their mother every day.

A mother who loves her children rarely puts up defenses against them. Xia Yuting was poisoned to death.

"I don't want to marry into Lufengdu anymore. I want to live my life as I please."

"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

……

"My dear daughter, your uncle the Emperor wants you to marry the young master of the Lu family. Are you willing?"

"unwilling"

"Ah?" Princess An was surprised. "Don't you usually chase after him? And your father and mother seem to care about you very much."

"Dad, Mom, don't be fooled by appearances. If someone is nice to another person, there must be a purpose. No one would be nice to someone for no reason."

"How can you say such a thing at such a young age?"

"Am I wrong? The previous emperor was incompetent and foolish, leading to the people's miserable lives. Fortunately, my father and uncle rose up in rebellion and saved the people from disaster.

But General Lu was a general of the previous dynasty. He did not support the previous emperor and even opened the city gates, allowing the emperor to take over the capital as quickly as possible.

But this does not mean that he supports the emperor. He opened the city gate because the previous emperor had snatched his favorite concubine. It can be said that he was angry for the beauty.

At this time, his interests coincided with those of his uncle, the emperor. He was driven to seek revenge, while his uncle, the emperor, fought for the throne.

If there is a conflict of interest between the two in the future, General Lu can betray the previous emperor, so he can naturally betray the emperor uncle."

Prince An was surprised. "Who taught you this?"

"No one taught me that. The textbooks say that everyone in the world is driven by profit, and everyone in the world is driven by profit."

"What does this mean?"

Few members of the Xia family were educated. For generations, they were farmers and rough-mannered.

Even the emperor could not recognize a few words at first. Later, he realized that he could be easily deceived without knowing how to read, so he studied hard for a long time and only then could he understand a little bit.

"It means that people all come together for profit and leave because of profit."

"But what does this have to do with your marriage?" Princess An was not very knowledgeable. She only knew that girls should get married when they grow up.

"Mother," Sheng Jiang explained patiently, "My marriage with Lu Fengdu, to put it bluntly, isn't it just that the emperor wants to create a bond between the new nobles and the old ministers in the court, to bind their interests?

In addition, if Lu Feng and I can get along well, then General Lu will naturally do his best on the frontier.

But what if we become a couple with grudges? Will the Emperor punish Lu Fengdu? If not, wouldn’t that waste my life?

Princess An frowned, "But this woman will get married eventually."

However, Prince An thought about it and realized that although he was not very well-educated, he was not really a fool.

"You are so confused! I actually think it's good that our daughter is so smart and sees things so clearly. That way she won't be easily deceived by any man in the future and deceive others and their hearts."

Prince An stroked his beard and said, "I used to go to listen to stories. Those stories were told in the book. The daughter of a rich family was raised with a simple mind. When she met a poor scholar, she was deceived by his sweet words.

As soon as she sees a handsome man, no matter if he is a relative or a friend, she will think of her lifelong event. She will forget about her parents and her manners, and will elope with him without being a ghost or a thief.

She didn't even think about it: if she was the daughter of an ordinary family, would the poor scholar still write those so-called love poems to her?

Fortunately, our daughter is smart, so even if she gets married in the future, we don’t have to worry about her betraying her own family for the sake of her husband’s family.”

Princess An asked, "If you don't get married, what do you plan to do?"

"I'm going to the battlefield"

"Okay! It would be best to replace General Lu as soon as possible. I will take you to see my brother the Emperor."

The emperor asked Sheng Jiang for some insights and found that she knew more than any man and had many brilliant ideas.

I was very happy, but still a little worried.

The queen kicked him with her big foot and said, "Who says women can't lead troops to fight? Didn't I follow you through mountains of corpses and seas of fire in the past? If you hadn't trapped me in the palace, I would have wanted to go to the battlefield again."

"Eh? Since my niece wants to go, why don't I go with her?"

"Calm down! You're still feeling the effects of your injuries," the emperor said, holding his forehead. "I miss the battlefield, but the country has just been established and we have many internal troubles, so I can't leave. Fortunately, we have successors. I'll let the eldest brother go with you so he can gain some experience."

Sheng Jiang took Xia Hongji to the border.

Lu Feng was relieved to hear that Xia Yuting had left. He was really afraid that, like in his previous life, the emperor would grant him a marriage and ask him to marry her.

In this life, he only wanted to be with the woman he truly loved. He remembered that he met Bai Yuyue five years later when he was passing through a farm village on his way to Ghost Capital, the Valley of Divine Medicine, and asked for a place to rest.

In this life, he doesn't want to wait even a moment longer.

They rode straight to the farm village at full speed. At that time, Bai Yuyue was only 10 years old and had not yet grown up.

The Bai family has several children, but only the women do the work.

Bai Yuyue is 10 years old, but surprisingly, she's about the same height as a seven or eight-year-old, skinny and small. She works constantly, and her skin is dark. Washing clothes in the river in the dead of winter leaves her hands frozen, cracked, and covered in cuts.

"You money-loser, is the meal ready? I'm starving!" said a drunk man.

"It will be fine soon"

"It's ready, why don't you bring it over quickly? Do you want me to starve to death? I'll beat you to death."

Bai Yuyue shuddered when she heard the typing. She didn't dare to say a word, didn't dare to spit in the food. I asked you to hit me! I asked you to scold me! I'm disgusted!

Lu Feng was stunned. Was this really the beautiful, patient, optimistic, and cheerful girl I met a few years later? Lu Feng was skeptical.

After the man had eaten and drunk his fill, he took a stick and was about to hit Bai Yuyue. Bai Yuyue cried and screamed and kept dodging.

Lu Fengdu couldn't bear to see his beloved girl being beaten, so he stepped forward to stop the drunk.

The drunk was cursing at first, but when he saw Lu Fengdu's gorgeous clothes, he was frightened.

But he quickly put his mind at ease, "Isn't it illegal for me to hit my daughter?"

"If you care about my daughter, I'll sell it to you for 100 taels."

"100 taels, are you trying to steal money?" The servant beside him couldn't help but said, "I've asked around, and if you sell it to a wealthy family, the most you can get is 10 taels."

The drunk man could tell Lu Feng was very interested in Bai Yuyue. His eyes were fixed on the girl tenderly. He thought, "How could a girl like me be so lucky? How could I be favored by such a rich family?"

"200 taels! If you don't want to buy it, then get out of here!" Then he pretended to hit someone, "You little bitch, why don't you get back to work in the fields?"

Bai Yuyue agreed hesitantly and was about to leave when Lu Fengdu stopped her and said, "If you continue to abuse her like this, I'll report you to the police."

"Sir, even if you report me to the authorities, so what? I can do whatever I want with my own daughter, and the authorities can't do anything to me."

Lu Fengdu looked at Bai Yuyue's timid eyes, and his heart moved, "100 taels, just 100 taels"

"300 taels"

"Didn't you just say 200 taels?"

"Just now is just now, now is now. In a little while, it will be 500 taels."

"500 is 500, but you have to sign the severance agreement. From now on, whether she lives or dies, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Sign it!"

The drunk man thought: Damn, that's too little. If I had known, I would have asked for 1000 taels.

He said honestly, "So, good man, can you take the knife from my neck?"

After completing all the formalities quickly, Lu Fengdu took Bai Yuyue back to the capital. However, upon arriving in the capital, he was stunned: his house was sealed off?? !!!

Ginger: Yes, I did it! Surprised? Unexpected? Thrilling? Happy? Excited?

Most direct people are boring. It is exciting to see what you already have suddenly lost!

Life is like this with ups and downs.

It turned out that when Sheng Jiang arrived at the border, he found that there was no major riot there at all.

The so-called war was a secret plot devised by General Lu and General Beijiang.

They felt that if there was no fighting on the border, firstly, the emperor would think they were of no importance, and secondly, if there were no wars, the court would not provide food and military pay. And every time there was a war, a large amount of food and military supplies were needed.

It was a cold winter, and most of the soldiers at the lower levels still didn't even have cotton clothes on, shivering with cold. When they were hungry, they had nothing to eat and could only gnaw on snow.

Inside General Lu's tent, a heating system was burning, and the temperature inside had reached 20 degrees Celsius.

It is filled with countless calligraphy and paintings, and the tunnel is filled with gold, silver and jewelry that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Xia Hongji was immediately furious, "This is a parasite of the country! I must report this to my father and have him punished!"

Sheng Jiang said, "The best way to appease the public anger is to kill him right in front of the people! It can also deter others.

If we wait until you report back to the emperor and the emperor issues his decree, how much time will pass between then and how many people will starve to death or freeze to death?

Why not register now? Buy these things and distribute them to the soldiers."

By the time Xia Hongji delivered the letter to the capital and returned, General Lu's head had already turned into a skeleton.

At the same time, in the capital, the emperor was very happy to see his eldest son being so decisive.

He immediately ordered the search and confiscation of the general's mansion, and found countless gold, silver, and jewels, which served as the national treasury.

Bai Yuyue's hometown was far from the capital, and it would take three months to get there even if they rode at full speed. So when Lu Fengdu brought Bai Yuyue back home, he saw a desolate scene.

Lu Fengdu couldn't believe it. His once huge home had now become a haunted house.

Bai Yuyue was also very surprised. This person seemed to be of high status, so how come he became like this now?

But she had nowhere to go now, and the indenture was still in his hands.

Lu Feng thought about it for a long time and realized that all these changes were because Xia Yuting did not marry him. So he tried every means to find him.

Before he even arrived at Prince An's Mansion, he was chased out as a beggar.

"Who dares to approach the princess? Don't you even consider your own character?"

Lu Feng was so angry that he almost died. "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the young and poor. Just wait and see!"

Ginger almost died of laughter. Sure enough, he kept him. It felt good to eat melon every day.

Lu Fengdu is a playboy. His father is at least quite capable, but he is like a weakling with no power to even tie a chicken.

If you can't lower yourself to find work, let the servant do it.

Later, the servant took advantage of his drunkenness, stole the indenture and ran away. Lu Fengdu was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he took it out on Bai Yuyue.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have run so far to find you! I wouldn't have missed such a big event at home, leaving me penniless..."

Bai Yuyue also awakened her past life memories, but she is only about 10 years old now and can't do anything.

Later, she developed Stockholm syndrome and willingly married Lu Fengdu, giving birth to twins, the same twins that Xia Yuting had in her previous life.

At first, the twins were very happy to be born in the belly of the person they loved.

But I soon became unhappy. My family was so poor. I went hungry every day and had to rely on robbing for food. Without money, I couldn't even afford to study.

In this life, the family of four were all poor and struggling at the bottom of society. Later, Sheng Jiang got tired of them and killed them.
