The queen of the end times is reborn and goes crazy, her whole family is burned to death
Chapter 24: The Adoptive Father is the Regent
Accompanied by Yan Wanwan, Qin Yu walked around the farm and stopped at the foot of the barren mountain.
"You bought this mountain too?"
"Well, it's cheap and affordable, not even as expensive as those manors. It's great value!"
Qin Yu was infected by her optimistic attitude and became more relaxed. "Nothing can be grown on the barren mountain. Others avoid it, but you are the only one who spends money to buy it."
Yan Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "You mean, I can get it without spending any money?"
Qin Yu nodded. "If you want, I'll tidy up the nearby barren hills and send the deed to you in two days."
Yan Wanwan smiled happily, "Then I won't be polite."
Qin Yu's face also showed a smile, "I came here to pay for it this time."
Yan Wanwan stopped immediately and looked at him with burning eyes.
Qin Yu said solemnly, "That totem is the family totem of Yan Feibai, the Prince of Zhennan."
"King of Zhennan!?"
As far as she knew, war was raging across the lands. Yan Feibai, the Prince of Zhennan, who guarded the Great Xia border, had been murdered by a traitor, his fate uncertain. Meanwhile, foreign tribes from the Mobei and Western Regions were stirring, and spies from various nations were pouring into Great Xia in search of the Prince of Zhennan. Border cities were destitute, their people destitute.
Now one of Da Xia's two war gods is missing and the other is lame. The situation is not optimistic.
The information conveyed by the plants was even more unexpected to her. Not only did her original body not know that her adoptive father was the King of Zhennan, but even her brother and sister did not know either. Because Yan Feibai and her adoptive mother had been hiding their identities in order to protect them, she always thought that her adoptive parents were ordinary wealthy gentry.
Her eyes were full of mystery. "What is your relationship with the Prince of Zhennan?"
"The Prince of Zhennan and I are close friends. I've been searching for him since he disappeared, but unfortunately I was injured in my leg at the time and couldn't go there in person."
Yan Wanwan remained silent until the plants gave a positive answer, then she smiled.
Qin Yu looked at her deeply and asked, "What is your relationship with the Prince of Zhennan?"
"you guess!"
In the evening, after Yan Wanwan returned to the Lu family, she was immediately called to Lu Zhengping. She saw Lu Shuyang looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, and she immediately understood that they knew that the manor belonged to her.
Knowing that it wouldn't be over soon, she simply found a comfortable place to sit down and waited for the other party to speak first.
Lu Shuyang didn't have much patience and said directly: "The person who took in the remnant soldiers that has been rumored recently is you, right?"
Seeing Yan Wanwan's lack of reaction, he continued, "We've already found out that you didn't throw the things underground into a mass grave, but sold them yourself. You used the money to buy the current farm and even used it to shelter the remaining soldiers."
During this time, Lu Zhengping stared at her intently, wanting to see her reaction.
However, to his disappointment, Yan Wanwan remained indifferent. She spread her hands and asked, "Where's the evidence?"
She looked up at Lu Zhengping and teased, "Minister Lu, you don't think you can just talk nonsense just by talking, do you? If there's no evidence, it's slander. I'm going to go to the government office to talk about it, and by the way, I'll see what's buried underground."
She didn't care, but she didn't know whether the Lu family cared or not, and whether they dared to do it.
As expected, a burst of anger welled up in Lu Zhengping's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and it flashed away.
He put on a kind and benevolent smile, "Wanwan, you've gained quite a bit this time. Not only did you take things you shouldn't have, but you also pocketed the Lu family's land deeds. Of course, I can let all of this go, even giving them to you. But I have only one request."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Lu Zhengping said straight to the point: "The manor you want to reveal is yours, it belongs to the Lu family. As for those remaining soldiers, it's naturally because you couldn't bear to see them suffering, so you used the money the Lu family gave you to do these good deeds."
He thought well. He knew that the things taken away by Yan Wanwan might not be recovered. Since the loss had already occurred, he should use them to maximize the benefits.
Now the emperor has begun to inquire about the issue of the remaining soldiers. Judging from his attitude, he highly praises this behavior of helping the court solve major issues of people's livelihood.
If he said now that it was a good deed done by the Lu family, he would not only leave a good impression in front of the emperor, but also gain the favor of the generals in the court. In the future, as long as the remaining troops were still there, the Ministry of War would also give him some face. He could highlight his status in front of the second prince, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Yan Wanwan didn't think as far ahead as he did, but she knew a saying: When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Their attitude was already problematic, so how could she possibly agree to their request? Therefore, she naturally refused. "I really can't do that. Although I bought the manor, I've already rented it out at a high price. As for recruiting the remaining soldiers, that was someone else's idea. It used their money, and it has nothing to do with me."
She yawned. "I'm not like some people who shamelessly take credit for other people's efforts."
Lu Shuyang's eyes widened in anger. "You don't have to lie to us. I went to your farm today. If you weren't the owner, how could they refuse to see me?"
Yan Wanwan looked at him like an idiot, "Mr. Lu, do you have any achievements? Otherwise, it's normal for someone to reject you. Don't be so sensitive."
She almost pointed at the other person's nose and said: Wake up!
These words hit Shuyang's sore spot, and he suddenly felt like a sharp arrow shot into his heart. The pain of not being able to pass the imperial examinations for many years was an indelible pain in his heart.
Lu Zhengping glared at him fiercely and wanted to threaten to expel her from the Lu family, but she was eager to leave and didn't have to marry off anyone else; he wanted to persuade her to hand over the farm, but seeing her reckless attitude, she wouldn't even give up a single hair.
This stubborn and unyielding attitude left him helpless, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Yan Wanwan wasn't without weaknesses either. Didn't she want the Ice Spirit Flower from the General's Mansion? Then use the Ice Spirit Flower as a trade.
"You told me earlier that you wanted the Ice Spirit Flower from the General's Mansion as a betrothal gift? I've already discussed this with the General, but the Ice Spirit Flower is too valuable, so this is a bit difficult..."
He hesitated to speak and didn't finish what he was saying. He just wanted to see Yan Wanwan's reaction and see if she really cared that much about the Ice Spirit Flower.
If so, he could use the Ice Spirit Flower to threaten the other party in exchange for more things.
But Yan Wanwan just said "Oh" indifferently and said indifferently: "If you don't want to give it to me, forget it."
what?
Lu Zhengping frowned. Why didn’t this guy play by the rules? What should he do next?
"Don't you want the Ice Spirit Flower anymore?"
"Yes!" Yan Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "But you can't come, right? So your precious daughter has to get married."
In a nutshell, she won't marry without the Ice Spirit Flower.
Lu Zhengping was immediately enraged. "You took most of the Lu family's savings and the manor, and now you say you won't marry me?"
Yan Wanwan scratched her ears and said, "Minister Lu, are you okay? I told you I didn't take anything from the ground. They're all in the mass grave. Just go pick them up. Who's stopping you? And those farms were given to me by you when I returned to the Lu family. They have nothing to do with getting married."
"Our business dealings are all open and honest, and neither of us is taking advantage of the other. So, forcing me to marry in your place without giving you the Ice Spirit Flower is illogical!"
Lu Zhengping sneered, "That's not up to you."
He clapped his hands, and instantly more than a dozen guards rushed in and surrounded Yan Wanwan.
