”

A young man bowed to his mother-in-law, su Peipei. He was a little special.

!!
He was actually quite handsome, but his skin was unusually dark. There was also an obvious birthmark on his chin, which looked like a star.

Therefore, the face looked a little strange.

He was not tall, about 1.6 meters.

Moreover, he was stuttering.

He was the fifth son of the monarch, Ning Zheng.

In terms of identity, he could be considered a Big Shot.

He had nothing to do with the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, but he was related to his mother-in-law, su Peipei.

His mother, Su Fei, was born in the Zhenyuan Marquis’s residence and was the legitimate daughter of Marquis su Nan.

This kind of marriage was very normal for the monarch.

The Queen was the daughter of the first wife of the Zhu family. The Zhu family was considered a famous family in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, and their power was not only limited to the State of Yue.

In addition to the Queen, the king also had four concubines.

Three of them were from the established aristocrats. Concubine Bian was the younger sister of the mighty Duke, Xiao Xiao. Concubine Zhong was born in the Zhong family of the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s mansion. Concubine su was born in the SU family of the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s mansion.

Concubine Bian did not have a son, so she could not participate in the fight for the throne.

Crown Prince Ning Yi was the Queen’s legitimate son and was supported by the majority of the Civil officials. Among them, the Zhu family was the crown prince’s biggest backer.

The second Prince Ning Shao’s mother had passed away.

The third Prince, ning Qi, was the nephew of the Zhong family. He had a powerful military background and was the only one who could stand up to the Crown Prince.

The fourth prince, Ning Yan, was born from a Palace maid. Although he was well-liked by the king and was talented in both civil and military affairs, his mother’s family was lowly and did not have the power to fight for the throne. Thus, he joined the Crown Prince and became one of the most capable assistants in the crown prince’s faction.

The fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, was the son of concubine su.

However, when he was born, he was regarded as a freak because his body was yellow and black, and he had a star birthmark on his chin.

Coincidentally, at that time, a shooting star fell and crashed into the Western corner of the capital. It smashed the houses and caused a fire, killing hundreds of people.

The imperial physician said that this child had a strange appearance and had never been seen in the royal family.

The Imperial advisor said that this child was unknown.

As such, the king ordered for her to be abandoned. Her birth mother, Su Fei, cried but did not stop her.

At that time, su Peipei was helping her sister, Su Fei, deliver the baby in the capital.

She was the first person to hold Ning Zheng in her arms. Seeing his strange appearance, she couldn’t bear to see him like this.

When she heard that this child was going to be abandoned, she held Ning Zheng tightly and knelt down to beg the monarch for mercy. Her words were very serious.

Even a vicious Tiger would not eat its Cubs.

It was because of this sentence that Ning Zheng, who had just been born, survived.

Su Peipei was hated by the king and left the capital soon after. Since then, no matter what happened, the royal family had never invited su Peipei.

Although Su Fei was su Peipei’s sister, the king did not like su Peipei, so she cut off all contact with her sister.

Ning Zheng did survive, and he was very tough.

However, among all the sons of the monarch, he was the least likable one.

The king hated it, and even his birth mother, Su Fei, hated it.

After that, Su Fei gave birth to another son, who despised Ning Zheng even more. Even his mother’s younger brother looked down on him.

Ning Zheng was now 19 years old and had long become an adult. His elder brothers had been conferred titles of nobility. The fourth prince, Ning Yan, was born of a Palace maid and was conferred the title of Duke, but he had no title of nobility.

After he left the palace, the king only gave him a house that was only a few acres.

The wives of the other princes were all daughters of prestigious families, except for Ning Zheng, who married the daughter of a merchant.

As for his stammering, some said that it was because he had been influenced by a court eunuch with ulterior motives when he was young, and some said that it was because he had been strongly stimulated when he was young.

However, he was not liked by the monarch to begin with, and with his stammering, he was even more despised.

Throughout the year, the king would rarely see his son.

Not only that, but even the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s residence did not like this nephew.

But no matter what?

After all, he was the emperor’s son and had a high status.

At this moment, everyone was kicking a wall when it was down. Everyone wanted to step on the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

However, the fifth Prince came to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to offer timely assistance.

Not only did he come in person, but he also sent 17000 gold coins.

The entire world knew that the yinyuan Association was demanding a debt from the Jin family. Everyone knew that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was in a huge financial crisis.

And these 17000 gold coins were all that fifth Prince Ning Zheng had.

For someone to be willing to fork out all their money to save you at a critical moment, what kind of friendship was this?

In fact, the fifth Prince had no contact with su Peipei after he was saved by su Peipei.

In the capital, he was like an invisible person.

Not to mention others, even the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had forgotten that he had this relative.

However, he did not expect that at this moment of ‘despair’, the other people who had received favors from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu could not wait to draw the line. They even hit him when he was down.

Only this fifth Prince had given everything he had to help.

Shen lang and his mother-in-law were shocked and did not expect this.

“Your Highness, please sit!” Su Peipei said.

The fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, bowed to Shen lang.

Shen lang was very impolite. After all, the other party was the son of the monarch, yet he had to make the other party Bow to him.

Shen lang quickly returned the greeting.

Ning Zheng’s expression was unnatural. He was born with an inferiority complex, especially when he saw a handsome man like Shen lang.

After he sat down, fifth Prince Ning Zheng did not know what to say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

His mother-in-law, su Peipei, said, ” Your Highness, my husband is not in good health. He’s afraid that he will pass on his illness to you. So, he can’t come to see you. I’m sorry.

“I’ll see my uncle later,” Ning Zheng said.

His mother-in-law, su Peipei, said, ” Your Highness, our family is short of money. But we can’t take your money. You should take these gold coins back.

Ning Zheng’s face turned red, and he stuttered even more.”Yimu urged you. You saved my life and I can’t not repay you.”

With this tension, Ning Zheng’s stammering became more and more serious.

Su Peipei could not bear to provoke him to speak.

Shen lang did not say anything. He only smiled gently to calm the other party down.

Ning Zheng, who had calmed down a little, spoke a little more fluently and slowly.”I asked my father for an edict to allow Prince Jin mucong to study in the Imperial College.”

Ning Zheng had good intentions.

Everyone knew that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was facing a crisis. If they stayed in Xuanwu city, their lives would be in danger.

On the surface, he was going to study at the Imperial College, but in reality, he was going to the fifth Prince’s residence to avoid trouble. At least he could keep his life.

Ning Zheng made this matter sound simple, but in fact, he knelt outside the king’s palace for a day and a night to beg for it.

Su Peipei had saved his life back then. Now, he felt that he had the obligation to save Jin mucong, at least so that the Jin family would not be extinct.

“Not long later, father will send an order.”

Shen lang and su Peipei were really touched.

Although the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was just acting, the Jin family had been ambushed from all sides during this period of time. Everyone in the family had really suffered from the cold and harsh conditions of the world.

However, he did not expect that the fifth Prince would step forward to help the Jin clan at this crucial moment.

How could one not be touched by such a deep friendship?

Next, the fifth Prince Ning Zheng went to see the uncle of Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, who was lying on the bed.

He didn’t use any flowery words and just bowed, a Junior’s bow.

This person wasn’t good with words, and he didn’t know how to say nice things.

After having a meal at the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, he left and returned to the capital.

He kept the 17000 gold coins because of his strong will. He wanted to give them to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to tide over the crisis.

Before he left, Ning Zheng said something to Shen lang.

“If things don’t go well, young master Shen can take cousin Mulan and leave Yue country. Brother Crown Prince has his eyes on cousin and is determined to win her over!”

This sentence filled Shen Lang’s heart with killing intent.

Crown Prince Ning Yi, you actually dare to be so determined to get my wife? From now on, we’ll be mortal enemies and won’t rest until we’re dead.

At the same time, he had a very good impression of the fifth Prince.

This person was a little reclusive and had a low self-esteem. At the same time, he had a very strong self-esteem and was not good with words.

However, he knew how to repay kindness, had a noble character, was upright and courageous, and even had a bit of chivalry and innocence.

In everyone’s eyes, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was doomed.

If he helped now, other than angering the king and making Ning Zheng’s situation worse, he would not get any return.

Shen lang immediately bowed to the fifth Prince, Ning Zheng.

Ning Zheng was a little embarrassed. He cupped his hands and returned the greeting, then got on the carriage and left.

……………

As time passed.

The storm of debts from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu intensified.

Not only did the officials and nobles in the world know about it, but all the common people also knew about it.

The Jin clan owed 700000 gold coins and was planning to renege on the debt.

Almost all the families and officials voiced their opinions.

It was only right and proper to repay a debt.

The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would lose the demeanor of a noble family if they didn’t pay their debts.

Following that, public opinion spread all over the world.

Shen lang, the son-in-law of the Earl of Xuanwu, led an extremely extravagant life. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and was comparable to a noble.

In just three days of the battle of the Golden Mountain Island, he changed four sets of clothes.

Each set of clothes cost no less than 200 gold coins.

Then, there was another rumor that Shen lang had to eat 100 fish for a meal because he only ate fish lips.

He also said that he liked to eat donkey meat, but for every meal he ate, he had to kill ten donkeys.

That was because he only ate the most tender parts of the donkey.

This made the people of the world unhappy.

Damn, you’re just a live-in son-in-law, yet you’re living such a luxurious life?

There are still so many people in the world who are not full, and you are actually so wasteful and luxurious?

He should be beaten and killed!

Then, there were rumors that Shen lang used the power of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to extort people.

First, he forced Tian Heng, the thousand-man civilian soldier, to die and took all his property.

Then, he extorted 5000 gold coins from Lin Mo, the East master of the splendid Pavilion, and refused to pay it back.

He had even extorted tens of thousands of gold coins from Xu Guangyun’s family, forcing them to their deaths.

Shen lang had spent all the money.

Now that they owed a huge debt to the yin Yuan Association, not only did the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu not have any intention of paying back the money, but they even sent troops to chase Shu tingyu out.

In these public opinions.

The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was simply shameless. They were exactly the same as those deadbeats who did not pay their debts but still indulged in debauchery.

Shen lang was even more detestable.

For a time, the entire Yue country was shouting to kill.

Countless imperial censors submitted memorials, begging the king to punish them.

The king had ordered Earl Jin Zhuo to pay his debts and not Sully the reputation of the Yue country’s nobility.

The censors also reported that the Earl of golden universe had borrowed a million gold coins from the hidden origins sect and used hope Cliff Island as collateral.

Now that the 20-year deadline was up, Yin Yuan Association had the right to take back hope Cliff Island.

Yinyuan Association sent a Messenger to the minister’s desk of Yue State to issue an official document. Yinyuan Association would only take back the right to operate the salt fields and mines of Wang Ya Island, and they were willing to give the land rights of the entire Island to Yue State free of charge.

In the end, the king gave the decree!

If the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was still unable to pay off the debt of 700000 gold coins by the deadline, they would have to hand over the pawned moon Cliff Island to the yinyuan Association.

Finally!

The last boot landed on the ground.

It was a fatal stab.

The king personally came forward and made a ruling on the debt between the Jin family and the hidden faction.

There were only 13 days left until the deadline.

Even a God would not be able to take out 700000 gold.

It was a foregone conclusion that the Jin family would lose hope Cliff Island.

Once they lost the economic pillar of gaze Cliff Island, the Jin family would probably collapse instantly.

Thirteen days, seven hundred thousand gold.

It was daydreaming to think that he could raise this sum of money.

Uncle Black Tortoise had already fallen ill.

His wife su Peipei had gone to various family Chambers of Commerce to borrow money, saying good words and begging.

However, he gained nothing.

In the past ten days, he had pleaded with nine families, all of which were old-school aristocrats.

If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold as they say it a hundred times.

However, he had only borrowed 1000 gold coins in total.

That’s right, the nine families added up to a thousand gold coins.

It really made one’s heart cold.

This act of borrowing money had instead made the world’s nobles see the Jin family as a joke.

He was even more certain of the desperate situation of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

Even though the deadline had not arrived, in everyone’s eyes.

The Jin family was already dead.

However, it would take more than ten days before they could officially announce the destruction of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu!

……

He had earned 700000 gold coins in half a month!

To others, it was simply a fantasy.

After all, the total taxes of the entire Tiannan province were not that much.

However, it was a piece of cake for Shen lang.

He had been preparing for this day for months.

Moreover, what he wanted to earn was not just 700000 gold coins.

Instead, it was 800000,900000, and even more!

The third step was to turn the island into an Island of gold.

When the deadline of half a month was up, the Jin family would immediately pay off the 700000 gold debt.

At that time, the world would instantly explode.

All the nobles and commoners in the world would be completely shocked.

The public was attacking Shen lang and the Jin family, and it was getting more and more intense.

Of course, this was hyped up by the yin Yuan Association and the new political party.

However, Shen lang was very grateful for this public opinion. It made the Jin family famous and everyone knew about this debt crisis.

The more intense the hype was, the more shocking the effect would be when Shen lang spent 700000 gold coins.

Shen Lang’s plan to build the island of gold would achieve unprecedented success.

And when that time comes!

Taking over raging tide city, the strategy of being King across the sea, was already half successful.

The feeling of playing a big Go game was really cool!

This feeling of controlling the world was really cool!

However, Shen lang was still extremely anxious.

There was still no news from Xu Qianqian in raging tide city.

Time was running out.

Chou Yao ‘er’s role was becoming more and more important, and she had become an indispensable part of the conquest of raging tide city.

The strategy of golden gazing Cliff Island was about to explode.

If Xu Qianqian could not take down Chou Yao ‘er, Shen lang would have to personally take action.

If they couldn’t take down Chou Yao ‘er, the last part of the entire strategy would be for naught.

Xu Wanwan, weren’t you pretty awesome before?

Don’t drop the ball at this critical moment!

At this moment, Jin Hui entered with a weird expression. “Son-in-law, Hongxian requests an audience.”

“Your wife?” Shen lang was stunned.

Jin Hui’s face was red. Until now, he still felt like he was in a dream.

Did that beautiful and proud young lady really become his wife?

Even now, he still couldn’t believe that this was the truth.

More than half a month ago, that tsundere girl had entered Jin Hui’s room of her own accord.

Even though the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was in a ‘desperate situation’, they still held a simple yet grand wedding ceremony for Jin Hui and married that arrogant girl.

Uncle Black Tortoise and his wife became the parents of the man, while Shen Lang’s parents became the parents of the woman.

Now, this tsundere girl actually took the initiative to meet Shen lang?

All along, she did not like Shen lang. When Shen lang scolded Jin Hui, she still bore a grudge.

“Let her in!” Shen lang said.

After a while, the tsundere girl came in.

After she got married, her congenital heart disease was still there, but her face was a lot rosier and her lips were not so purple.

After she entered, she sat on the chair opposite her and was not as respectful as Jin Hui.

Jin Hui didn’t know what to do.

He couldn’t afford to offend the son-in-law.

He couldn’t afford to offend his wife.

He needed to flatter his son-in-law, but he needed to kneel and lick his wife’s boots even more.

It was really difficult.

“Jin Hui, go out first. I have something to say to young master Shen.” The tsundere girl said.

Jin Hui looked at Shen lang eagerly.

Shen lang waved his hand, and Jin Hui quickly left.

I originally didn’t plan to go home for the rest of my life. However, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is in a desperate situation. I am willing to go home and ask my parents for help. However, I can’t guarantee how useful it will be.

This woman’s name was Zheng Hongxian.

His father was the fifth giant of the Yue military, the West peace general, the West Mountain Earl, Zheng tuo.

The entire Western Army of Yue country was controlled by the Zhong family.

This general Zheng tuo was the second-in-command of the Western Army, and he was sent by the monarch to check and balance the Zhong family.

He was a new type of aristocrat. He had no land, but he had military power and could be considered a direct descendant of the monarch.

It was mentioned in the previous article that Zhu Wentai, the son of Viscount Zhu Lanting, had married Wu Jinshi and planned to join the army.

With the Zhu family’s status, they originally could not match up to great general Zheng tuo.

However, who asked Zheng Hongxian to be born with a heart disease? The doctor said that it would be difficult for her to have children, so most nobles were not willing to marry this woman.

Viscount Zhu Lanting took the opportunity to curry favor with him, also to pave the way for his son, Zhu Wentai.

General Zheng tuo looked down on Viscount Zhu Lanting, but the Zhu family was a century-old noble family after all. Zhu Wentai had a Wu Jin Shi and was considered outstanding. Most importantly, he didn’t mind his daughter’s congenital disease, so he agreed to the marriage.

As for Zheng Hongxian, due to her congenital heart disease, her personality was particularly sensitive and extreme. She always felt that her parents disliked her, and now they wanted her to marry a man she was a complete stranger to.

With her strong personality, she had actually left home and traveled thousands of miles to Yangwu County just to personally inspect her fiancé, Zhu Wentai.

However,

He didn’t expect that he would be knocked out by the Warriors of the Zhu family as soon as he entered the territory of the Zhu family. He had never encountered such a misfortune before.

She had originally planned to die, but she was saved by Jin Hui.

However, at the most desperate moment, she met a man like Jin Hui who was so infatuated with her and treated her as a goddess.

If it was any other Noble’s daughter, they would not even think highly of Jin Hui.

However, Zheng Hongxian had been ill since he was young and was sensitive. He knew how to put the world at stake, so he knew what he wanted.

She especially liked men like Jin Hui who had OCD, was introverted, sensitive, kind, and infatuated.

Furthermore, when she was in hell, it was Jin Hui who saved her.

Hence, the two of them had a good relationship.

She had originally planned to cut off all contact with her family for the rest of her life. However, now that she saw that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was in a desperate situation, she felt that she had the obligation to help.

Even though she felt that she could not help at all.

However, whether or not he could do it was another matter.

Therefore, she took the initiative to ask Shen lang to return to the palace of the Earl of West Mountain and ask her father for help.

Shen lang sighed.

Another one who came to help in the nick of time.

Even though he wanted to, he was powerless.

However, a heart was stronger than anything else!

Shen lang immediately stood up and cupped his hands. miss Zheng, you’re an impressive lady. Although you’re a little rash and extreme, you’re still a lady. It’s Jin Hui’s fortune to be able to marry you. However, you don’t have to worry about the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. You can just stay in the palace and live with Jin Hui.”

“You really don’t need my help?” Zheng Hongxian stared at Shen lang for a long time.

“No need,” Shen lang said.

Zheng Hongxian went out.

Jin Hui quickly followed behind and sent his wife back to the courtyard.

“Hongxian, are you thirsty?” Jin Hui poured a cup of tea and even tested the temperature.

It was warm, the temperature that Hong Xian liked the most.

“Jin Hui, you’re hiding something from me.” The tsundere girl, Zheng Hongxian, said.

Jin Hui’s face trembled, and he immediately bowed to admit his mistake.

“I’m sorry, Hong Xian. There are some things that I really can’t tell anyone.”

Zheng Hongxian looked at her husband for a long time before saying, ” “Forget it, loyalty is the best quality.”

“Thank you, Hong Xian, for your magnanimity,” Jin Hui was overjoyed.

Zheng Hongxian said, ” I’m curious now. How is Shen lang going to turn the tide? no matter how I look at it, it’s difficult for even the gods to save our family.

Jin Hui remained silent.

go, ” Zheng Hongxian waved her hand. your master needs you.

“Hey!” Jin Hui said. Then, he couldn’t help but massage his wife’s neck and shoulders. He placed the most obedient black cat beside his wife so that she wouldn’t be bored.

After that, he ran out to wait for Shen Lang’s orders.

Seeing her husband’s back view as he ran out, Zheng Hongxian could not help but feel warm and happy.

From her point of view, a woman’s family background was all fake.

A capable man who knew what was good for him was the best match.

It was like wearing shoes.

Some people felt that it was most important to look good, while others felt that comfort was the most important.

Of course, master Lang’s shoes were beautiful, comfortable, and gorgeous, which was why so many women were fighting to wear them.

Please don’t make me, Shen Meinan, wear a pair of broken shoes!

……

Truly, a desperate situation reveals a person’s heart!

Shen lang could not help but feel emotional.

In this desperate situation, Shen lang saw two sincere hearts.
