Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Speaking of which, Aunt Zheng and Wei Mingli were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

But she has always despised the poor and loved the rich since she was a child. When Wei Mingli's family was poor, she looked down on them and married someone with better conditions.

Who knew that not long after, Wei Mingli passed the imperial examination and his life suddenly became better.

Coincidentally, the man that Aunt Zheng married died soon after, and she became a widow.

Wei Mingyuan took her back out of their childhood affection, but did not give her the title of wife, only making her a concubine.

Wei Mingli's mother, the old lady, disagreed with this matter from the beginning, thinking that Aunt Zheng was a bad person.

But Wei Mingli seemed to be obsessed with her and protected Aunt Zheng regardless of the consequences.

Even after he married Bai Wanru as his legal wife, he still cared deeply about Concubine Zheng and favored her in every way.

Aunt Zheng has always held a grudge against the old lady. When the old lady opposed her entering the Wei family, she suffered a lot.

In addition, she was not a good person to begin with. Seeing Wei Mingli pampering her, she became more and more courageous and began to have bad thoughts in her mind.

As long as she kills the old lady, no one in the Wei family will be able to stop her and she will be able to do whatever she wants.

Bai Wanru also knew that she could not defeat this concubine Zheng. Now both of her brothers were Wei Mingli's right-hand men, and her family was in the capital.

She had no choice but to secretly ask Bai Wanwan for help, after all, they were family.

Bai Wanwan responded quite straightforwardly. Since they were members of the Bai family, they naturally had to help each other.

Wei Mingli shouted, "Alright, you're all wrong in this matter. The Bai family is not in a good position to manage the family. I will punish you by letting you face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for two months. As for you, Zheng, you will be locked up in the woodshed for a month..."

"Puchi..." Bai Wanwan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wei Mingli looked at her and asked, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"Nothing, I just think you're truly filial. I will definitely report these matters to the court..."

Wei Mingli narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Bai Wanwan said with a half-smile:

"Filial piety is the most important virtue! My Lord, your mother has been harmed so badly, yet you just let this concubine go so easily.

I have never seen a concubine dare to beat the old lady like this in my life."

Bai Wanwan said calmly, "By the way, even His Majesty knows about my family members and they have always wanted to harm me, so I'm not afraid."

Wei Mingli was furious: "Okay, okay, you actually dare to threaten me."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "So that's what I call a threat? When you said those words just now, were you threatening this princess?"

Bai Wanwan wouldn't give him any face!

After all, she was the eldest princess! She had the capital to be proud.

The Sixth Prince came over and said, "Ha! Bai Wanwan, you're quite good at bullying others!"

Bai Wanwan looked at the Sixth Prince and raised an eyebrow. "I'm still far behind the Sixth Prince in this area. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Lin Zao Zao looked at the Sixth Prince, and with a sudden thought, he walked towards her: "What's your name?"

Lin Zaozao smiled faintly at him and said, "Lin Zaozao, the Sixth Prince is well."

The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Lin Zao Zao smiled faintly and said, "I've seen him in the palace before."

"You are very good-looking. Are you willing to serve this king?"

Lin Zao Zao directly knelt on the ground and said: "Of course I am willing to serve the Sixth Prince."

Lin Zao Zao clutched the Gu in his sleeve, his heart filled with turmoil.

She searched everywhere for her lost poisonous insect, but she didn't expect that Bai Wanwan had already secretly planted the poisonous insect in the Sixth Prince.

She raised her eyes and looked at the Sixth Prince. Although she knew that he had a violent temper and acted erratically, he was still a prince after all, and was by no means comparable to an ordinary person.

Without much hesitation, Lin Zao Zao quickly caught up with the Sixth Prince's team.

Lin Dasheng, Lin Dachang and others were originally surrounding Bai Wanwan, but now that they saw Lin had caught up with the Sixth Prince early, how could they still care about Bai Wanwan?

A few of them looked at each other, hurriedly pushed through the crowd, and followed the Sixth Prince's group step by step, not daring to say a single word.

The Sixth Prince never glanced behind him again from beginning to end. He just raised his hand to straighten his clothes and walked straight forward with his innate nobility and aloofness.

After the Sixth Prince and his entourage left, the remaining people immediately erupted in discussion, one after another saying, "Who on earth is this Lin Zao Zao? How could the Sixth Prince tacitly allow her to follow him?"

"Yes, yes. I've never seen the Sixth Prince be so open with anyone. Could it be that I've gained his favor?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Haven't you heard? The Sixth Prince has always been moody.

A few days ago, a guard was beaten to death just because he was slow in serving tea.

Lin Zao Zao following me like this, who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse! "

"But no matter what, since the Sixth Prince accepted her, this Lin Zaozao must be extraordinary..."

Bai Wanwan sneered. This Sixth Prince is no pushover. It’s hard to say whether Lin Zaozao is a blessing or a curse!

But she had not expected that this group of people would follow her to the southern border.

Bai Wanwan told the ladies that a boat would pick them up the next day, and then left.

Early the next morning, the ladies arrived one after another. From afar, they saw five magnificent pleasure boats slowly approaching.

The hull is carved with flowers and painted with red paint, which makes it look luxurious.

There were small golden bells hanging on the windowsill, which jingled when the wind blew. The boat was covered with thick plush blankets, and even the porcelain vases placed by the railings were exquisite. It was parked at the dock.

After a while, a team of horse-drawn carriages came up, the curtains were lifted, and the ladies of each family got out.

Some wore silk jackets embroidered with flowers, some wore fur-edged padded robes, and some wore thick patterned cloaks. They all looked respectable.

Bai Wanwan stood at the front and said with a smile:

“It’s really hard to trouble you ladies to make this trip.

The boat is ready today, please come aboard! Let's chat while enjoying the scenery."

The ladies looked towards the river and stared at the wide river before them. They couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Oh my! When did they dig such a big river? Why haven't we seen it before?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and continued:

“Ladies, you may not know this, but this is the newly dug Qingshui Grand Canal.

In the future, this river will be able to connect to many places, making it very convenient for shipping goods or enjoying the scenery on a boat."

Bai Wanwan smiled and pointed in the direction of the river, explaining to the ladies:

"The Qingshui Grand Canal is still under construction. Once it is completed, it will be directly connected to the Mu River in the east.

By then, if you go down the Mu River, you will reach the main canal, go north to the provincial capital, and go south to the water town wharf.

Whether it’s transporting goods or traveling, we now save half the distance compared to before.”

The ladies began to discuss: "My God, if this really opens up to the Mu River, it will be so convenient in the future!"

"That's right! We used to have to take a winding mountain road to get to the provincial capital, but now we can just take a boat and get there smoothly. Master Bai, this is a brilliant idea!"

Bai Wanwan smiled and didn't say much, just led everyone onto the pleasure boat.
