Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

"Oh~"

Mrs. Dong suddenly realized what was going on and said with concern, "I see. Then you should drink more hot water and rub your stomach more often to promote digestion."

"Okay, thank you Madam Xu for your concern." Shen Ping smiled slightly, then turned to look at Xu Mingchang: "Master Xu, I have something I want to ask you."

As she spoke, Shen Ping paused and glanced at Dong.

Xu Mingchang immediately understood what Shen Ping meant: "Madam, please go and rest first. Madam Shen and I have something to talk about." Xu Mingchang said to Dong.

"Okay, then you guys continue chatting. It's cold, I'll go take a rest first." Dong said as she stood up.

Xu Mingchang watched Dong's back disappear at the door, then slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Ping: "Madam Shen, tell me what you want to say!"

Looking at Shen Ping in front of him, Xu Mingchang really admired her. The Shen Ping in front of him was very different from the first time he met her.

At that time, she was tall and strong, with dark skin. Now, probably because she lost weight successfully, her figure is almost half the size. Her skin is also much whiter, tenderer and more delicate. Her facial features are three-dimensional, with a high nose bridge and big eyes. She is definitely a beauty.

If you say she was a country woman before, now she looks like the lady of a wealthy family at first glance. The temperament is completely different.

And now she really deserves the reputation. Her business is getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes I can't help but envy her.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Madam Shen has become more beautiful." Xu Mingchang spoke.

"Lord Xu, you're joking. Be careful, walls may have ears! If your wife makes you kneel on the washboard, it will have nothing to do with me." Shen Ping covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hahaha~"

Xu Mingchang laughed heartily. It was rare for him to feel so happy since he came here.

No matter what the situation, I have to put on a serious face, which is really uncomfortable sometimes. Today, it is rare for me to be so relaxed in front of Shen Ping.

"But Lord Xu, I really have something to talk to you about today." Please take a look at this letter. Shen Ping put away her smile, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Mingchang with a serious face.

"Oh~"

Seeing Shen Ping's serious expression, Xu Mingchang had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at the letter in Shen Ping's hand, hesitated for a while and took it.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Xu Mingchang's heart skipped a beat. He recognized that this was related to the Tenth Prince He Li, and his expression immediately became serious.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xu Mingchang's heart sank. He had also vaguely heard some rumors, and it turned out that they were all true.

No wonder there was no news about the Tenth Prince after he returned to Beijing for a while. It turned out that something really happened to him.

Xu Mingchang looked solemn. He closed the letter and handed it back to Shen Ping: "Madam Shen, what are your plans for going to the capital this time?"

"I want to go and see if I can rescue Shenyang?" Shen Ping pursed her lips.

"Actually, I heard a different version," Xu Mingchang said.

"Oh~"

Shen Ping raised her eyebrows: "Master Xu, please speak!"

"I heard that the emperor is taking advantage of the situation. He wants to bring together the Tenth Prince and Ma Mei, the daughter of Grand Minister of Agriculture Ma Dong. But because the Tenth Prince disagrees, that's why..." Xu Mingchang looked at Shen Ping nervously.

He knew that the Tenth Prince had already married Erya, so wouldn't this be asking for something that was out of his control? Given the Tenth Prince's temper, he certainly wouldn't agree.

Shen Ping's face turned pale. She couldn't believe that the current emperor would do such a despicable thing.

"No!" Shen Ping said sternly, "Shenyang and Erya have a marriage certificate and are protected by the law. I don't believe that the emperor of the Dazhi Dynasty would despise the law and treat it as a joke."

"Don't forget, this is ancient times. Ordinary people can have three wives and four concubines, let alone princes!" Xu Mingchang reminded Shen Ping.

After hearing his words, Shen Ping paused. After a moment's silence, Shen Ping's eyes lit up: "Tell me why the emperor would like the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture."

Shen Ping knew that in ancient times, local families often had no say over their own marriage arrangements and would often be used as bargaining chips by the emperor.

Xu Mingchang said: "In fact, I also heard it from hearsay. Ma Dong is the Minister of Agriculture, which is equivalent to the highest leader of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He specializes in researching new varieties and increasing crop yields.

Right now, the people of Dazhi Dynasty are hungry and cold. The emperor has just ascended the throne and of course wants to solve this situation as soon as possible so that the people can live and work in peace.

It is said that Ma Dong is very smart and has done a lot of research on these crops. He is so obsessed with them that he forgets to eat and sleep. It is said that he also cultivated corn and brown rice, which solved the food problem for many people.

She was also the first to discover that kapok could be used to keep out the cold and make clothes and quilts."

"Oh~" Shen Ping nodded: "It seems that this Minister of Agriculture is quite capable."

"Yes!" Xu Mingchang said slowly, "But he has a strange temper. If he is unhappy, even the emperor will not give him face. He is a talent of the Dazhi Dynasty. The emperor loves talents and has always treated him with courtesy.

Ma Mei, the daughter of Ma Dong, is the sweetheart of Grand Minister of Agriculture Ma Dong. She has always admired the Tenth Prince. This time the Tenth Prince brought high-yield grain to the capital. The Emperor probably wanted to win over the Grand Minister of Agriculture and let him start research.

Knowing that Ma Mei liked the Tenth Prince, he deliberately wanted to bring them together. Unexpectedly, the Tenth Prince was unwilling, and in a fit of rage, he found a crime and threw him into jail, with the purpose of forcing him to submit. "

"Snapped……"

With a bang, Shen Ping slammed her hand on the table and said angrily: "This is outrageous! This is too much of a bully!"

It seems that this version is similar to what he heard. In this way, He Li’s life will not be in danger. The purpose of the emperor doing this is to make He Li surrender.

"Humph!"

Shen Ping sneered. She didn't expect that the emperor would not be grateful after taking the rice seeds. He even wanted to take the opportunity to fabricate a crime to trap He Li.

"I would like to meet the emperor~" Shen Ping said shockingly.

"How is that possible?" Xu Mingchang denied her without saying a word: "The emperor is in the deep palace, you can't just go and see him whenever you want."

"I have my own way." Shen Ping raised the corner of her mouth.

She originally wanted to hide the matter about Xu Feng, but now it seems that she has no choice but to tell the truth.

"I want to borrow someone from you to go to the capital!" Shen Ping was determined to shock people.

"What~" Xu Mingchang was stunned and said subconsciously: "Who?"

"Xu Feng!"

After hearing what Shen Ping said, Xu Mingchang was stunned again. He didn't expect Shen Ping to ask Xu Feng to go to the capital together.

He couldn't understand why Shen Ping allowed Xu Feng to accompany her.

"You have to give me a reason!" Xu Mingchang crossed his arms and looked at Shen Ping calmly.

He knew that Shen Ping must have her reasons for doing this, and Xu Feng must be able to help her in some way.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Xu Mingchang's mind, and this idea scared him.

He remembered that the emperor had once told him to find the princess.

"Could it be..."

Xu Mingchang's eyes lit up. Could it be that Xu Feng was the little princess?
