Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

Xiao Yu, the Prime Minister of Great Xia, second only to the Emperor, has never forgotten his benefactor since his childhood when his friend Zhan Beihou saved his life and left him money for the imperial examination. Even though he has reached the highest position in the country, there is only one person who is most important to him in his heart - Song Lan!

"Thank you for your new life. I hope you can think more about yourself and live a good life for yourself..."

Muttering this, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, "I am self-righteous. If you were willing to live only for yourself, why would you try to send those 'divine objects' to Da Xia after being reborn in the new world?!

You are you, wholeheartedly serving the country and its people. No matter where you are or what time it is, you always keep Daxia and its people in mind... Today, the Emperor has ordered me to assist the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture and plant the high-yield crops you gave me... Don't worry, I will do my best to promote them throughout Daxia as soon as possible.

Let the people no longer suffer from hunger and cold… By the way, the Emperor plans to build a shrine for you. I… I suggested that we erect a statue of you in the square outside the palace. Unexpectedly, the Emperor agreed and directly suggested a bronze statue.”

Xiao Yu's expression was gentle, and his voice was soft. "You won't blame me for meddling in your affairs, will you? But... but even if you do, I will still do it. I want not only the people of Daxia to always remember your contributions to this country, but also the entire court, both civil and military officials. You deserve everyone's admiration and remembrance!"

At the same time, at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

main courtyard.

"Dad, what did you say?"

Song Pengju accompanied Emperor Wen Zhao to the Divine Doctor Valley to retrieve the package, and then escorted him all the way to the palace. He then said goodbye to the emperor and left the palace to return home, thinking of telling his children and grandchildren about Song Lan.

But the second son, Song Jinyan, who is now the prince of the Duke's Mansion, was not at home. So, after Song Jinyan returned home from Baiyun Temple, he invited everyone in the family to the main courtyard to listen to him talk.

What needs to be said is that since Song Jinyan became disabled on the battlefield, he met Master Wuming of Baiyun Temple by chance. It can be said that the two became friends regardless of age difference after exchanging a few words. Yesterday, Song Jinyan learned that Master Wuming had returned from traveling abroad, so he decided to go to Baiyun Temple to visit him.

He set out early this morning and arrived at Baiyun Temple, where he listened to Master Wuming lecture on Buddhism, drank tea, and played chess.

Time passed quickly, and around mid-afternoon, the prince of the Duke's Mansion bid farewell to Master Wuming and returned to the Duke's Mansion in a carriage.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, the servant Song Huai told him that the Duke of Zhenguo was waiting in the main courtyard.

What Song Jinyan didn't expect was that when he came to the main courtyard to meet Song Pengju and Han, he actually heard a shocking news from the Duke of Zhenguo. To be honest, he really found it hard to believe.

Well, except for Song Jinyan, the grandchildren and eldest daughter-in-law who were called to the main courtyard by Song Pengju's servants also looked surprised at this moment.

"Yes, Dad, are you sure you didn't lie to us?"

This is the voice of Yun Wan, the wife of Song Jinxing, the former prince of the Duke's Mansion.

There is no doubt that the so-called former prince of the Duke's Mansion is actually Song Lan's elder brother, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion who died on the battlefield.

According to the theory, since Song Jinxing died in battle, as long as Song Pengju was willing, Song Jinxing's son should take over the position of crown prince. However, considering that his grandson was still young, and Emperor Wen Zhao directly issued an edict to appoint Song Jinyan as crown prince, the current crown prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is Song Jinyan, the second son.

However, Song Jinyan promised his elder sister-in-law Yun Wan in front of his parents that when his nephew Song Zihan came of age, he would go to the palace to ask the emperor for permission to make Song Zihan the crown prince.

In other words, he is just a substitute for now and will step down later.

Song Pengju and Han knew the reason, but they didn't say anything. It wasn't because they didn't want to, but because they understood Song Jinyan's character. Once a decision was made, it would be difficult to change it.

So what decision did Song Jinyan make in front of his parents?

——I will never marry in this life!

Song Jinyan didn't want to be looked at strangely by the person next to him. This was because of the disability he suffered on the battlefield, which made it difficult for him to walk. Faced with his situation, which woman would sincerely marry into the Duke's Mansion and become his wife?

Make do, he doesn't need it!

He doesn't need sympathy!

The reason he had such an idea was that the news that Song Jinyan was disabled on the battlefield was reported back to the capital. His fiancée, who had been engaged to him for almost three years, took a tough stance and asked the elders in his family to cancel the engagement.

There is no room for negotiation at all!

It would be a lie for Song Jinyan to say that he didn't care. After all, he had his fair share of glory and he had galloped across the battlefield, killing countless enemies. He had his dignity and pride, so how could he allow others to trample on it again and again?

Perhaps his idea was a bit extreme. Not to mention how many well-educated and kind-hearted women there were in the whole of Daxia, there were probably quite a few in the capital.

However, before Song Jinyan got engaged and headed for the border, his fiancée secretly ran to the city gate to see him off without telling her family, and even gave Song Jinyan a purse embroidered by herself. How could a young man not be moved?

What's more, the other party is his fiancée? !

Unexpectedly, just because he became disabled on the battlefield, the other party forced him to cancel the engagement. Upon learning about this, Song Jinyan felt that he was ridiculous. The relationship that he cherished so much turned out to be a joke in the end.

His fiancée said she would wait for his return, and that no matter what he became, she would spend her life with him. This woman, with eyes full of love, immediately turned hostile when she saw the fact that he became disabled.

Song Jinyan was hurt, and based on this, plus he didn't want to drag down his partner, didn't want to endure the strange looks from the person next to him, and didn't want to compromise, he finally made the decision not to get married in his life!

"Grandfather, is what you said true?"

Song Zihan and his sister looked at Song Pengju eagerly.

"Is what I said so untrustworthy?"

Song Pengju had a complicated expression.

"Dad, we just...we just find it unbelievable!"

As soon as Song Jinyan said this, Yun Wan and Song Zihan, brother and sister, nodded in unison, indicating that they meant the same thing as Song Jinyan. Then, including Song Jinyan, everyone looked at Han at the same time.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out after tomorrow's morning court session. However, the Emperor will probably explain it by saying he's ascended to immortality."

Han said, "Now I just hope Lan'er can get that system to send me a portrait of her. That way, when your father and I miss her, we can look at the portrait to ease our longing."

"Grandma, Han'er is so happy!"

The young boy Song Zihan said with tears in his eyes and a smile.

"Grandma, Rui'er is so happy too!"

Song Rui, Song Zihan's younger sister and Song Lan's niece, came to Han and snuggled in her grandmother's arms: "Grandma, Rui'er misses her aunt so much. She misses me day and night, all the time!"

"Just your sweet mouth!"

Gently tapping the little girl's forehead, Han said, "Your aunt also said that she misses us all!"
