Sang Wan rejected Yan Yun's proposal of marriage.

She didn't understand what Yan Yun liked about her. She was clearly reckless and didn't care about any of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. From head to toe, she didn't meet the requirements of a daughter-in-law from a noble family. So why did she catch his eye?

But matters of the heart are quite unreasonable. Yan Yun just likes him, and no one can persuade her.

Baili Xi completely broke off relations with him because of this incident and no longer had any contact with him.

He was scolded for asking Princess Xinyang to propose marriage, and Yan Yun got there first. He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. On the way, he met Yan Qianzhi and they started fighting in the street. If Xiao Ji hadn't passed by, the scene would have been extremely embarrassing.

The four-person domino team that had been playing well together completely broke up.

Sang Wan simply hid in the ghost market to find peace and quiet.

Qingshan is very capable. In just a few months, he managed the ghost market in an orderly manner. Now, all the people in the ghost market who are willing to stay here are doing so voluntarily. They also go out at fixed times and are no longer trapped in the ghost town without seeing the sun.

Sang Wan was very pleased and praised Qingshan generously.

"It's all thanks to the princess's guidance." Qingshan was very shy.

"I haven't thanked you yet. My mother's legs were treated by Divine Doctor Bai, and now she can walk much better. The doctor's ointment is very effective."

"Just thank Bai Shi, why thank me?"

Sang Wan smiled and handed the account book back to Qingshan:

"The accounts are very detailed. This month's profit of 7,862 taels from our Ghost Town will be distributed per head, and the remaining 3,450 taels will be kept for circulation."

"Okay. I'll do it right away. Now that our ghost market is fully responsible for its own profits and losses, everyone gets a share of the profits, and everyone's more motivated."

Qingshan was overjoyed and became more confident.

"Just wait a little longer, good times are just around the corner. If Liangzhou can be stabilized, we can all move there in the future. The day of seeing the sun again won't be far away."

What is currently worrying Sang Wan is the household registration issue of these people in the ghost market.

Some of them are the old people of the previous dynasty; some have committed crimes and are hiding in the ghost market for fear of being caught; some cannot find a job or food outside; some even get married and have children in the ghost market, so the children naturally have no household registration.

If you want to return to life on the ground, there are still many problems to be solved.

She thought of someone, the current Minister of Revenue, Shi Luochuan.

He has always cared about the world, maybe there is a way?

"Several waves of people have come to the palace, but nothing has come of it. Princess, are we causing suspicion?"

Qingshan was unsure. He didn't know how easy it would be to fool these cunning people.

"The cooperation is all a cover. They no longer trust us. They are looking for money." Sang Wan smiled.

Fortunately, she was quick enough. Even if they searched all over Jilong Mountain, they would not have a penny left.

"Princess, these are dumplings my mother made and asked me to give them to Yanhong. Where is she?"

Qingshan stammered, his face as red as a monkey's butt.

"Ah!" Sang Wan slapped her head, she had forgotten about this.

Qingshan risked his life to save Yanhong. Besides this sense of righteousness, he also had childish thoughts.

She was too busy these days and ignored Yanhong who was following her everywhere.

"It's my fault. Yanhong went to Jinluoge to get clothes for me today. Otherwise... you can deliver them to her at the palace yourself tonight?"

Sang Wan tactfully created an opportunity for the two to meet.

"Hey, hey. Thank you, Princess."

Qingshan grinned foolishly and walked out holding the dumplings.

Xiao Yi was sipping tea at the table when he suddenly sneered, "It's just one person, how can we divide it?"

Sang Wan understood what he meant and raised her eyebrows:

"This kind of thing naturally depends on the girl herself. True love is unique, how can it be divided? Xiaoshun and Qingshan are both good, and Yanhong can't go wrong with either of them. But in this world, besides getting married, women can also have their own world. It doesn't necessarily mean to choose one of them."

Xiao Yi put down the book in his hand, his eyes gleaming: "What's the point of a woman not getting married?"

Seeing that he asked seriously, Sang Wan also answered seriously:

"How can you be so pedantic at such a young age? Women can do so much. You should travel around and see how capable the women of Great Xia are. Take the Jinluoge in the capital for example. Their owner, Madam Wu, is a master of business. She started with a small embroidery stall and now has three branches in the downtown area. There's a vast world out there for women to achieve."

Xiao Yi thought for a moment and then said, "If a capable woman finds a capable husband, wouldn't it be even better?"

"Of course, what you said is very good. But the heart is hidden, and the true love is hard to find. Not everyone can find a husband that satisfies their heart. I think that whether a woman is married or not, the most important thing is that she is strong and can stand on her own."

Xiao Yi asked bluntly, "Then who do you think is more to your liking, Yan Yun or my brother?"

This question caught Sang Wan off guard, and she was thrown off balance. She simply rolled her eyes at him:

"Why are you dragging me into this? I'm a lonely star, okay? No one is suitable for me."

"A person born with bad luck is destined to be paired with a lonely person." Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and read a book.

Sang Wan just thought he was just a child, so she listened and ignored what he said without taking it to heart.

At noon, she returned home for a short rest, and Yu Lai sent another letter.

The imperial government's funding solved their urgent needs, but the granaries were empty and they had to buy food with money.

However, all the grain in the three major states near Liangzhou was bought out, and the Pingxi Army had almost no choice but to pay Yu Lai to buy grain.

Zheng Chenghui initially rejected the request to exchange horses for food; later, for some unknown reason, he sent someone to tell Yu Lai that they agreed.

It is not difficult to guess that this was due to Zheng Jinzhi's contribution.

Yu Lai did not elaborate in the letter, but in short, the matter was settled.

Sang Wan hurriedly got up to find Xiao Qi and asked him to write a letter to Prince Duan.

The land of Bashu is rich, with abundant goods available for purchase and circulation, from Shu brocade to grains. If the merchant's trade territory has the support of Prince Duan, it will surely grow stronger.

Business is beneficial to both parties, so Xiao Qi is naturally happy to see it succeed.

The sun was setting when Sang Wan came out of the Prince's Mansion. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, someone suddenly called her from behind.

Although the voice was trembling, it was all too familiar. Her blood froze, her whole body felt numb, and her feet felt as if they had taken root.

It was Shi Luochuan. Coincidentally, he had come to visit Xiao Qi specifically to improve his camaraderie with his colleagues.

I didn't expect to meet you.

At this moment, Sang Wan was thinking a lot, between admitting and denying.

Finally, she chose to turn around and smiled brightly: "Brother Luochuan, long time no see."

Shi Luochuan's eyes gradually turned red, with visible mist, and the smile at the corner of his lips was a mixture of bitterness and excitement. He didn't even know what to say.

She's not dead. She's alive.

Xiao Qi even called her Princess.

He had a lot of questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

"Since we've met by chance, why don't I invite Brother Luochuan to join me in the car and we go to Yanyue Tower for a short visit?"

Sang Wan understood him and took the initiative to extend an olive branch. It was time for them to sit down and have a good chat.

Xiao Qi also wanted to go, but Sang Wan glared at him.

He shrugged his eyebrows and said, "Okay, if you don't want me to, then don't."

Fierce.

What's wrong with the Minister of Revenue? When he saw the princess, he acted like he saw his own mother and almost cried.

Could it be that they... have a story?!

Hey, we have to tell Baili Xi about this quickly.

I have to tell Yan Yun.

Fight and make trouble!

He was enjoying the fun while Sang Wan and Shi Luochuan were sitting in the private room of Yanyue Tower.

When we looked at each other, we shed tears.

"God really heard my prayers, you are not dead."

Sang Wan's eyes were red. Shi Luochuan had never believed in ghosts and gods, but she didn't expect that he would prostrate himself in front of the clay statue, eating vegetarian food and chanting scriptures day and night for her.

"It's my fault, Brother Luochuan."

With tears in her eyes, Sang Wan told him everything about Tianxuan Sect and her identity.

Shi Luochuan felt very guilty: "If I had achieved fame and honor back then, I would never have let you suffer so much. Ah Wan, you hid it from me so as not to affect me. It was so painful for me."

"Brother, I should have congratulated you in person, but I was afraid of disturbing your peace. In a couple of days, when I have some free time, I will go to your house in person to visit you and your wife. I guess I haven't seen her for a long time."

Sang Wan thought of Pu Menglian and wondered if she would be unhappy if she saw her.

This is also the reason why she has not yet gone to meet Shi Luochuan.

Shi Luochuan hesitated to speak, and Sang Wan was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"Awan, she and I are not married. I have always treated her as my sister."

Shi Luochuan made up his mind. The feelings that had been suppressed for many years finally broke through at this moment. He didn't want to miss it again.

"I have never let you go in my heart, Ah Wan."
