Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Hu Muyan spoke quickly and anxiously. When she saw Li Shuangwan looking at her with a smile, she realized that she was too naive. "Heng, why did Princess Heng help me?"

Li Shuangwan handed her handkerchief to Hu Muyan.

Hu Muyan took it blankly, only then realizing that her face was covered with tears.

"The Hu family has two Hanlin scholars, and Mr. Hu is the chief minister of the cabinet. He is respected by scholars all over the world and is the leader of civil officials. And my Li family has been stationed at the northwest border for generations. How important is the word "guarding the country"? We have countless military exploits, and we can't count them all even if we spend three days and three nights. We are the leader of military generals."

Li Shuangwan looked directly into Hu Muyan's eyes: "The Hu family has already had trouble, and General He's mansion has also had trouble, so how can my Li family be far behind?"

Gu Xingyan, who was guarding outside the house, couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard this.

The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

All the civil and military officials were killed, and the two hundred years of Northern Jin Dynasty were destroyed in Ling Heng's hands.

In his previous life, he ascended the throne and destroyed the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Hu Muyan stared at the woman opposite him in a daze. These past few days, the most talked about things on the streets of Shengjing City were their Hu family and General He's Mansion.

She was also there when the military clerk was reading the military records that day.

Like everyone else, as she listened to him reading the volumes one by one, she seemed to see the fighting on the battlefield and the raging fire that burned for three days and three nights.

My heart is pounding and my heart is broken.

She also saw that Li Shuangwan had been protecting Madam He.

Hu Muyan's throat choked again, and she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Compared to the He Mansion, at least the men in the Hu Mansion were still alive.

Li Shuangwan walked to the window, pushed it open, and the splendor and prosperity came into view.

On the busiest street in Shengjing City, people were coming and going, some were greeting each other, and some were waiters calling out to solicit business. She asked, "Miss Hu, how many years do you think this prosperous era will last?"

Hu Muyan also walked to the window and looked down. She sneered, "This is not a prosperous era at all. The roots are rotten to the core. I don't know how many dirty things are hidden inside."

She saw things more clearly than her. Li Shuangwan smiled and sat back in her seat.

"If we want the men of the Hu family to come back and revive the Hu family, the women of the Hu family must first be alive, and they must live with dignity."

"Yes." Hu Muyan also sat back in her seat, "All the women in our Hu family must live."

Li Shuangwan looked at the girl opposite him and said, "Now there are two options for Miss Hu to choose from. One is that I will give you the capital and you can start a business and make money; the other is to let the women of your Hu family work in my shop and receive monthly wages."

"The first way is that you have to support the whole family by yourself. The second way is that all the daughters of the Hu family have to bear it together."

"No matter which path you choose, you must live well until the men of the Hu family come back, and no one can be left behind. Let those who laugh at your Hu family see that even if the Hu family falls, women can still hold up the sky above our heads."

Hu Muyan was moved by Li Shuangwan's words and looked at the woman opposite quietly.

"But, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest. It is up to you, Miss Hu, to decide whether to choose these two paths. Besides, you are still a woman, and women do business and are exposed to the public. So, it is up to you, Miss Hu, to choose which of these two paths you want to take, or whether to choose it or not."

Hu Muyan's eyes were red, she choked with sobs but spoke firmly: "My life is about to end, why would I care about whether I can show my face or not? I choose one, Princess Heng, I choose one."

Li Shuangwan raised his eyebrows and smiled, then pushed four silver notes of one thousand taels each, as well as other silver notes of one thousand taels with denominations ranging from ten taels to one hundred taels, a total of five thousand taels, in front of Hu Muyan.

"Okay, this is the capital, you take it, I won't interfere with what you do. But no matter what you do, I want 30% of the profits. Even if your business grows bigger in the future, I still want this profit, and I will distribute dividends once a year."

The five people that Gu Xingyan lent her had almost finished setting up their shops, and two of them were planning to open in the next two days. In fact, she could just let Hu Muyan go over and be the shopkeeper or something, which would be much easier than this.

But she felt that Hu Muyan should decide what to do and how to do it, instead of asking her to make decisions for her everywhere.

So, she gave her the capital and didn't ask about anything else.

Hu Muyan did not take the money immediately, but looked at Li Shuangwan: "Does Princess Heng trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money, or lose everything."

"What do you think?" Li Shuangwan smiled. She liked this girl more and more.

Hu Muyan also smiled, took the money, folded it and put it in her sleeve, and bowed deeply to Li Shuangwan: "If you don't abandon me, can I call you Sister Wan?"

"I can't ask for it."

Hu Muyan stood up. As long as she could earn enough money, she would be able to bring her grandfather, father, uncle and brothers back. Even if she couldn't, she would be able to make their lives better in Wushan Pass, at least they wouldn't have to do hard labor.

The saying that money makes the world go round is never false.

The pens, ink, paper and inkstone were all ready, and the two parties signed the contract immediately.

Li Shuangwan asked someone to pack up all the food on the table and told Hu Muyan to take it away.

After the alliance was reached, Hu Muyan no longer had the initial guard. When Li Shuangwan asked her to take the food with her, she did not refuse at all. She took a few food boxes and went out.

Li Shuangwan stood by the window.

Gu Xingyan walked behind her and asked, "Do you believe she can do it?"

Li Shuangwan shook her head: "Let's take a gamble. I won't lose anything. If the Hu family wants to stand up, they can only rely on themselves."

"I thought you would teach her how to do it."

Li Shuangwan chuckled: "In this case, I am just giving orders. Miss Hu is a smart girl. She knows what to do."

If the eldest daughter of the Hu family wants to bring the men of the Hu family back as soon as possible, she must hurry up to build up the business and expand it throughout the Shengjing City and even the entire Northern Jin, so that the emperor and others will have to think twice before taking action against the men of the Hu family.

In just two years in his previous life, Hu Muyan's shop, which started with only ten cents, was able to gain a foothold in Shengjing City.

What's more, in this life, she gave her enough capital.

The fastest way to make money is to make money with money, and the hardest thing is to get the first bucket of gold.

Interests are the most unreliable, yet sometimes the most reliable, relationship in this world.

"It's not easy for a man from the Hu family to return to Shengjing, at least not under the control of Emperor Jingzhang."

Li Shuangwan didn't say anything. According to his previous life, Emperor Jingzhang still had five years to live.

There was no way that she would allow Ling Heng to ascend to that position again. The other princes, including the crown prince, would never overturn their father's imperial decree and pardon the Hu family men and release them back to the capital.

But it doesn’t matter. She, Li Shuang, will conquer the Northern Jin Dynasty!

It's better than the current situation, where people's lives are becoming more and more difficult.

Many refugees outside Shengjing City have frozen to death or starved to death in the past two days, but she can do nothing about it.
