On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wantang was stunned.

There was a flash of disbelief in his eyes, and then he asked, "What did you say!?"

In prison, Cen Xiao thought for a long time, wondering whether he should tell Shen Wantang about this matter.

The current emperor came to the throne illegitimately and his virtue is not worthy of the position, so the eldest prince cannot afford to make any mistakes.

If Cen Xiao relied on his own strength, it would be difficult to persuade the stubborn Ji Xunze.

After spending many days together, Shen Wantang has a lot of ideas. If I tell her, who knows, she might come up with other solutions.

But she is a member of the Shen family after all. She has used the merits of the Shen family to block Cen Xiao's marriage proposals more than once.

But her approach was wavering.

"I say, if an ordinary citizen touches someone from the royal family, how should Lord Shen deal with it?"

He repeated it again, and seeing Shen Wantang's puzzled eyes flash for a moment, Cen Xiao's thoughts became more firm.

Shen Wantang's mind was spinning rapidly.

boom!

She slapped her palm on the table and shouted, "Asshole! Cen Xiao, you are so confused, please don't drag me into this! Do you know that if what you just said were to spread to the capital, it would cause a big mess!"

Cen Xiao's mind was as clear as a mirror.

But now there is no estimate.

He raised his eyebrows and leaned aside complacently: "Just now, I saw the former emperor's eldest prince in the crowd..."

Before he could open his mouth, Shen Wantang hurriedly picked up a steamed bread at hand, stuffed it into Cen Xiao's mouth, and then covered his ears.

"Shut up! You don't want to live, but I do!"

She whispered urgently.

Seeing her like this, Cen Xiao seemed to be in high spirits. He took the steamed bread down and continued, "Miss Shen, now that you know the news, you will definitely not be able to escape."

"You bastard! When I return to the capital, I will go to the emperor and sue you!"

Shen Wantang's cheeks flushed red, and her eyes looked a little dazed at the moment.

Cen Xiao smiled wickedly, picked up the steamed bread, and took a bite leisurely: "You can sue, but I'm afraid that the emperor will not listen to you!"

This is true.

Given Ji Xunchuan's selfish and suspicious nature, even if there was nothing wrong, he would still think about it in that direction.

Moreover, it would take more than ten days to travel from Nanzhou to the capital even at full speed. By then, even if Shen Wantang was eloquent, he might not be able to save the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Shen Wantang turned around and stared at Cen Xiao with a resentful look.

"Miss Shen, now you and I are on the same boat." As he said this, Cen Xiao picked up the teacup, raised his eyebrows, and looked quite proud.

If you think about it carefully, finding the eldest prince may not be a bad thing.

But at that moment, in order not to reveal his flaws, Shen Wantang could only pretend to be angry.

"I'm warning you, if you mess with the Shen family now, I will never let you go!"

Shen Wantang cursed in a low voice.

Cen Xiao smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry."

After Cen Xiao left, Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief - he had been thinking about how to stand on the side of Cen Xiao, but unexpectedly, Cen Xiao came to fight him on his own.

But the matter of the eldest prince must be considered seriously.

Before Shen Wantang could think deeply, Qing'e came hurriedly: "Miss, there is news from the dock, saying that the official ship carrying grain will dock tonight."

Came so fast?

Shen Wantang stood up suddenly.

"Quick, call more people to move the grain into the granary under cover of night. Remember, do not let anyone notice."

Shen Wantang's eyes were firm.

After these few days of training, Qing'e has become more courageous: "Don't worry, Miss, we have all our people on the dock, and we will make sure that no information will leak out."

Counting the days, the merchant caravans should be back.

The disaster in Nanzhou will be resolved soon.

After a few days, Nanzhou was peaceful.

One day, some vendors suddenly came to the next street, shouting: "Rice! Rice! The best rice!"

Hearing that there was food, everyone supported each other and ran over there.

Seeing so many people coming, countless thugs came behind the young man and blocked their way.

"Everyone, I know you have no rice to eat, but I am a businessman, I don't ask for much from you, a bushel of rice, just one ounce of gold."

When the words fell, everyone was stunned.

Some time ago, one ounce of gold could buy ten dou of rice, but now it can only buy one dou of rice!

"You vendors, have you lost your conscience? Everyone is starving to death, but you still want to make such dirty money!" Accusing voices were heard from the crowd.

But the young man didn't care. He sneered and said quietly, "What conscience are you talking about? If you have the ability, ask the government to give you grain! Now, I can only exchange it for gold!"

As soon as the words fell, some people in the crowd wanted to come forward and grab the food.

But the thugs hired by the man also came forward. After all, they were full, and they knocked the man to the ground with just one punch.

Seeing this, everyone retreated in fear.

"I tell you, if you have money, come and buy it, if you don't have money, you will starve to death!"

The man didn't even sneer.

But after a while, they were really hungry, so they used the savings at home to exchange for food.

"Husband, it's okay for us not to eat, but it's not okay for this child not to eat!"

On the side of the road, a skinny family of three huddled in a corner holding their child.

The woman was in tears. The child in her arms was already bloodless. Only the heaving of her chest showed that the child was still breathing.

The young man also started crying, blaming himself for not saving any money on a daily basis. Now he could only beat his chest and stamp his feet, cursing himself.

"Come on, come on, it doesn't matter if you don't have gold. Come here and sign your name. I'll borrow the gold to fill my stomach first, and I'll pay it back slowly in the future!"

A faint voice came from the side.

This sound seemed to be premeditated.

The man slowly raised his head, gritted his teeth and stood up.

The wife saw that something was not right, so she stood up holding the child and blocked her husband's way: "Husband! Don't go, that's a tael of gold! We can't pay it back in this lifetime! Don't you want the child to take over your debt?"

The husband shook off his wife's hand and said, "If you don't lend it to me, I can't even survive! I can't care about that anymore!"

The man walked so fast that the woman could not catch up with him even if she tried to catch up.

After looking at the signed document in front of him for a long time, thinking about his wife who was too hungry to sleep, and thinking about his son who would have a bright future, the man finally picked up the pen beside him.

He was the first one, and behind him stood many people who came to sign and borrow money to buy rice.

Suddenly, the door of the government office opened quietly.

The official came forward and shouted, "The relief grain has arrived! Open the warehouse and release the grain!"
