I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Liu Chun went in again to report to Emperor Huide. After the Empress had dinner with him, he hurried to Emperor Huide's private vault to get the key to the house.

Not long after Li Lan and his group settled down in Zhou Yuntian's house, they welcomed their first guest, Zhou Yuntian's mother, Yang.

Yesterday, Yang heard from her youngest daughter that the unfilial son had actually arranged for the peasant girl and her family to live in his newly purchased house. She was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night. This morning, she sent her servants to inquire about the location of the house. She had thought that the unfilial son had done it secretly, but she didn't expect that he would be discovered.

Zhou Yunyue realized she had spoken out of turn yesterday and wanted to go talk to Zhou Yuntian about it, but Yang saw through her thoughts and grounded her. She was so angry that she shed countless tears in the house over the past two days.

At this time, Yang was sitting on the armchair sipping tea. She glanced at Wang Po who was sitting at the upper seat, and then began to look at Li Lan who was sitting opposite her. Her eyes flashed, and she thought to herself: No wonder that unfilial son likes her, she is quite pretty.

"Are you Renshan Xiangjun?"

Li Lan looked at the woman who had some similar features to Zhou Yuntian and was dressed in a very gorgeous and high-profile manner. At this moment, she frowned and looked at her with disdain.

Her eyes flashed and she sneered in her heart, it seemed that the person who came had bad intentions.

"I am. May I ask who your wife is?"

"How dare you, a mere peasant girl like you, ask my wife's name?"

The maid standing beside Yang pointed at Li Lan and shouted at him. Meanwhile, the corners of Yang's mouth curled up.

After the old woman finished speaking, she glanced at the embarrassed Wang Po in the seat above her, and she felt proud. She then taunted, "We in the Zhou Mansion are a family that values ​​proper conduct. I have been serving the master in Bianjing for so many years, and I have never heard of any unmarried girl rushing to live with her husband. I am the first to see such a thing here today, Xiangjun."

"you……"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting at the top, stood up angrily, pointed at the old woman with trembling hands, and could not utter a word for a long time.

A fierce look flashed across Li Lan's eyes, and he said coldly:

"Li Xi."

A white figure flashed by, and the old woman screamed a few times. Looking again, the old woman's cheeks were red and swollen, and she mumbled and tried to speak, but when she opened her mouth, blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth, scaring her to scream.

Seeing this, Yang's eyes widened, and she pointed at Li Lan and shouted, "You are a vulgar and rude country girl. Don't even think about entering my Zhou family."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang's face turned ugly, and she put her hands on her hips, ready to fight.

At this moment, a shrill voice was heard.

"Wow, the Zhou Mansion has such a high gate, and Madam Zhou is so grand. How come we don't know that the benevolent and kind lady, personally appointed by His Majesty, is just a country girl in Madam Zhou's mouth?"

Yang was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Liu Chun and Zhou Yuntian walking towards her.

Her face turned pale, her eyes flickered, and she quickly stood up, clutching the handkerchief tightly in her hands, and she defended herself, "Eunuch Liu, don't you know? I heard that their family had come to Bianjing, and thinking that we would be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, I hurriedly brought gifts and came to see them with good intentions. But before I could say a few words, this girl actually asked the maid to hit her. Look how swollen my face is from being beaten."

After saying this, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his tearless eyes with a handkerchief.

Glancing at the master and servant putting on a show, and the box of pastries on the table, Zhou Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly. He sneered at himself and said in a cold voice, "I didn't tell Mother they were coming, nor did I tell Mother where you and your family were staying. How did Mother know? And since Mother has brought gifts, let me, your unfilial son, see how much she values ​​my fiancée."

"I, I, I am your mother. I only prepared some simple gifts this time in a hurry. I will prepare more next time and give them to her."

Yang looked up at Liu Chun's face and felt relieved when she saw that he looked normal.

"Oh, that's not what Madam Zhou said just now. The old woman pointed at our daughter and said that in Bianjing City, she had never seen a girl living in her husband's family before getting married. She said that our daughter is the first one to do so."

Li Xi had long been fed up with the arrogant attitude of the Yang master and servant, and described it vividly.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Liu Chun and Zhou Yuntian both darkened. Liu Chun's face also drooped at this time, and a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes when he looked at Yang. He sighed in his heart: How could this Mr. Zhou, such a smart and smooth man, marry such a stupid woman?

"Mrs. Zhou's words make sense. His Majesty agrees with this, and has ordered us to deliver the key to the Lord."

After saying this, he walked up to Li Lan with a smile and said softly, "My Lord, this is the key to the house that His Majesty gave you from his private vault. You must keep it safe. His Majesty said that if a girl wants to live, she must live in her own home. Although this house was bought for you by Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid that some people might criticize it. Now it seems that His Majesty is still very far-sighted."

Li Lan agreed and quickly took the key with both hands. She bowed to Liu Chun and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I thank you. Thank you, Grandpa Liu, too."

After a while, he continued, "Li Xi, pack up. We'll be leaving with Grandpa Liu soon. Have An Yi go to the street to look for the Third Master."

"Yes, girl."

Zhou Yuntian glanced at Li Lan with resentment. Seeing her looking at him with a half-smile, he couldn't help but cough lightly and touched his nose unnaturally. He thought to himself: This is too much.

The master and servant, who were standing there in a daze, were very frightened at this moment. They had not expected that this girl was so valued by His Majesty.

"Does father know that mother is here?"

Zhou Yuntian looked at the two panicked people and asked casually.

Yang's heart tightened, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost wrinkled. She pretended to be calm and said, "Since I'm here, how could your father not know? Eunuch Liu, I have something else to do in the mansion, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he glared at Zhou Yuntian and hurried away with the old woman.

Not long after, Mrs. Li and Li Xi came out with bags in their hands.

"Oh, Sister Song."

When Liu Chun saw Mrs. Li, he was delighted and hurriedly went to greet her with a smile.

"Liu Chun, you are still as charming as ever."

"Hey, please stop teasing me, Sister Song."

At this time, footsteps were heard at the door, and Li Chunhua, wearing a light blue brocade robe and a black cloak, walked in.

Liu Chun took one look, his eyes widening as he thought to himself: This, this, isn't this the Duke of Guo in his youth? A gentle and radiant young man.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she quickly walked up to him and knelt down to salute.

"This old servant pays homage to His Highness."

Li Chunhua was stunned at first, then she bent down to help Liu Chun up and said softly, "No need to be so polite, sir."

Palace of Prince Ning of Shunan.

"Your Majesty, Tuoba Ye and his group have arrived in Bianjing today."

"Okay. Qin Li, you and Qin Shuang should get ready and leave for Bianjing immediately."

Qin Li opened his eyes slightly and said hurriedly: "But Your Majesty, if we go there rashly without His Majesty's personal decree, will His Majesty be willing to do so?"

"Nothing, just go ahead and make the arrangements. I have my own plans."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Watching Qin Li's departing figure, Prince Ning leaned back in his chair, suddenly sneered, and said in a cold voice: "Tuoba Ye, I said, I, Qin Zhao, will fight you to the death."
