When Li Wanjun saw her dead husband like this, she was furious.

Erniu, on the other hand, ignored Li Wanjun and went straight to sleep.

Li Wanjun felt bored and stayed alone.

Yun Tao is not taking care of the household now. She feels relaxed and free, so she takes out a comic book from her space and starts reading it.

By the way, I also thought about the novels I wrote before and how I made a lot of money. The three brothers, Da Niu, Er Niu and San Niu, didn’t know how much money they had earned.

Yun Tao was surprised just knowing that she had made money. She didn't expect that people in ancient times also liked to read novels, and people in later generations like them very much.

Sure enough, there is a reason why the picture book can be passed down from generation to generation. Yun Tao was reading it with great interest when someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Yun Tao was very confused. Who could it be at this moment?

"Mom, it's me. I'm Daniu."

Yuntao got up and opened the door.

Seeing Daniu looking exhausted, my heart skipped a beat.

"Daniu, how did you become like this?"

"Mom, it's nothing, I just have a lot of things going on recently and I'm a little tired. I just need to rest more."

"Okay, tomorrow I'll arrange for someone to get you some medicinal food to nourish yourself, is that okay?"

"Row."

When Daniu heard his mother mention Li Wanjun's name, he felt uncomfortable.

Moreover, Li Wanjun came to the imperial capital and became the housekeeper as soon as she arrived. This is not the point. The point is that Erniu's family is now reunited.

I am still alone in the imperial capital, while my wife and children are all in the village. Now, our family can only be together during the New Year and other festivals.

The more Da Niu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he suddenly became very jealous of Er Niu.

"Mom, why did you bring Wanjun, your sister-in-law, to the capital? Why didn't you bring Lady and Baby? I haven't seen them for a long time."

Daniu sounded very aggrieved when he spoke, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Yuntao thought that something had happened and that Daniu had become like this. It turned out to be this incident.

"I have actually considered what you said. You said I should bring the lady here, and what about the workshop at home? It's impossible that there is no one at home."

"If a lady comes, there will be only a girl in the house. Do you think I, your mother, can trust you? Daniel, if it were you, would you dare to do this?"

"A lot of our current sources of income still rely on the workshops in the city and the village. Although we earn a lot in the imperial capital, don't forget that our expenses in the imperial capital are also very high."

"Just last month, even though my family was so frugal, we spent almost 100 taels of silver. Everything costs silver, and any item we bought is the same as the one in the village, but the price in the imperial capital is many times higher."

"You should understand this matter in your heart."

After Yun Tao finished speaking, she even looked at Daniu's expression.

After hearing this, Daniu's expression changed, and he began to think about it. "Mom, I really didn't expect this."

Yun Tao sighed and said, "Actually, I was planning to send Sanniu back. You are in the imperial capital, but given your current situation, I don't think it's appropriate to send Sanniu back."

"You two brothers should discuss this matter among yourselves. I will not interfere."

Daniu got the answer he wanted from Yuntao and left.

Yun Tao looked at Daniu, not knowing what Daniu was thinking.

I feel like Daniel still has a lot to say, but I am too embarrassed to say it. If he wanted to say something, he would have said it. Why should I be a casserole?

.................................

Shuqi was very bored after Yuntao went to the imperial capital, and he had no contact with Yuntao. He only knew about Yuntao's situation when the lady borrowed money from him.

Shuqi sat on a chair alone, bored.

The governor Liu Dekai walked in.

Shuqi saw this and immediately changed her sitting position, "Dad, what are you doing here? You haven't been to my yard for a long time."

Liu Dekai was in a good mood. He saw that his daughter had grown up to be graceful and elegant. If she got married, she would definitely be a great help to him. The more Liu Dekai carried Shuqi in front of him, the more he was willing to do what he thought in his heart.

Shuqi felt a little scared when her father looked at her.

"Dad, what are you thinking about? Why are you looking at me with a silly smile?"

Shuqi had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.

Liu Dekai came back to his senses, "Shuqi, you are not young anymore, it's time to put marriage on the agenda."

Shuqi now feels that it’s nothing. She’s going to get married anyway. If her father can arrange a good marriage for her, it’s fine.

Shuqi sat there obediently listening to her father. Liu Dekai felt even more satisfied when he saw how well-behaved his daughter was.

"Shuqi, I plan to marry you to the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Capital."

"General."

"You are wrong. It's not the Grand Marshal, but the Grand Marshal's younger brother. He is also working in the imperial capital, serving as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel. He is Wang Qiang's younger brother, Wang Zu."

"A fifth-rank official who is responsible for the appointment, assessment, promotion, and transfer of civil servants."

Liu Dekai said that he felt as if spring breeze had come, as if he was about to go to the capital to take up a new post.

Shuqi was happy at first, because her father had found such a good husband for her, and she was very happy in her heart.

But on second thought, this regulation has a lot of benefits and is very powerful, so why would it fall to me?

This is an official who is responsible for the appointment, assessment, promotion and transfer of civil servants. How can it be his turn? The daughters of wealthy families in the imperial capital are all trying their best to marry into the imperial family.

Shuqi glanced at his father without saying a word.

"Dad, do you have something else to say? How come such a high-ranking official has fallen on my head?"

Liu Dekai smiled embarrassedly.

"Shuqi, his wife is dead, and you are marrying her as his second wife. He has three sons and a daughter, but don't worry, they are all adults, and you don't need to discipline them. If you are pregnant, you can marry her and give birth to several children for him, but my father will give you a piece of advice, that is, you must give birth to a son to consolidate your position."

Liu Dekai talked a lot and his mouth was dry, but Shuqi didn't hear a word he said. The only thing she heard was that she was going to marry an old man.

It would have been fine if I had just gotten married, but I had to go to great lengths to please that old man. It makes me sick just thinking about it now.

Shuqi looked at her father again. Her son was already so old, an adult. You are older than her father, and maybe even as old as him. Are you looking for a husband or a father for yourself?

Shuqi didn't even dare to think about it alone.

A person was sitting there looking very depressed.

After sitting for a while, he slowly said, "Dad, does mom know about this?"

Liu Dekai didn't speak for a while, hesitating and not saying a word.

As soon as Shuqi saw her father's expression, she knew that her father had not told her mother about this matter. She felt a little relieved. Fortunately, her mother did not want her to marry an old man like this.

"Dad, I don't want to get married."

Shuqi finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"why."

Liu Dekai asked loudly, "Weren't you very happy before? Why don't you want to get married now? I think this is a good marriage. Otherwise, how could your father find such a good marriage for you?"

Liu Dekai looked righteous.

Shuqi felt that her father was disgusting whenever she looked at him. She didn't think her father was like this before, but now the more she looked at her father, the more disgusted she felt.

No wonder my mother visits my father less and less often now.

"Dad, don't you think that the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel is too old? How old am I, your daughter? Can't you find someone who is about my age? Aren't Qingse and Ming good?"

Shuqi said helplessly.

Liu Dekai said a lot to Shuqi under the guise of emotional appeal, but Shuqi refused to listen to a word he said and didn't want to hear anything Liu Dekai said at all.

She got very angry at Liu Dekai, and Liu Dekai persuaded her to go in after much persuasion. But when he saw that Shuqi still refused to eat, he lost all his patience.

"You have to marry me even if you don't want to. I tell you, your life is given by me, and everything you have is also given by me."

"You'd better marry him obediently, otherwise you'll die. And I'm not afraid of you dying like this, Shuqi, don't forget your mother. If you don't obey, your mother tells you that you may not be able to continue to be the official's wife. I don't have only your mother as a woman."

"I, Liu Dekai, don't have any woman I want. I have plenty of women, and there are plenty of women who want to take your mother's position. Think it through for me."

After saying this, Liu Dekai turned away.

Shuqi was so angry that she kept cursing at the back, but Liu Dekai remained unmoved and just left alone.

Shuqi held her head and sobbed quietly in the corner. She never thought that her father would treat her like this and find an old man for her for her career.
