Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"This, too, is this Lord Li's doing?"

Zhao Tanyue sat at the same table with Li Lan, and looking at the people around them, she couldn't help but speak.

Li Lan said, "His Highness loves the people like his own children; this is his decree."

Zhao Tanyue smiled, naturally not believing it. Li Lan lived deep in the palace, and without someone to guide him, it was absolutely impossible for him to do these things.

Not only did the ten new policies drastically change long-standing problems, but the fact that the royal wedding allowed impoverished people to attend was already a shocking revelation.

However, she also knew that from this day forward, these messages would spread like wildfire, reaching the ears and eyes of people all over the world.

With the current government so corrupt, the people yearn for a wise ruler like a timely rain. Once Le Viet's reputation for loving the people like her own children is established, her prestige among the people will be unimaginable.

"Today, Li Guan's disciples are transmitting their teachings. Civil and military officials are present to offer their congratulations, and all the heroes of the martial arts world are devoted to him. Even the newly promoted Grandmaster Lin Ruoxue, who is enjoying unparalleled fame, has become his honorary retainer..."

Zhao Tanyue said, "Li Lan, it is indeed admirable that you treat ordinary people so well, but in the end, the affairs of the court and the affairs of the world are decided by the officials of the court and the elites of the martial arts world. No matter how much the ordinary people love Li Yue, how much use is it?"

She was puzzled and worried.

Li Lan smiled and said, "But all I ask is to have a clear conscience."

I have a clear conscience!

Zhao Tanyue's expression turned slightly complicated as she said, "What a fine statement of having a clear conscience! I'll toast you!"

After saying that, the two raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

"Have you ever considered what you would do if Li Guanzhenlong succeeded in his mission and ascended the throne as emperor?"

Li Lan smiled and said, "Let's go back! The fields are overgrown with weeds, why not return? If that time truly comes, I will roam freely among the mountains and rivers, build a thatched hut, watch the wind and admire the moon, and grow old in the forests and springs. Let the world seek immortality and ask questions, and let the court be far from its deceitful schemes, I will still find joy in it."

He said it casually, but a look of longing flashed in Zhao Tanyue's eyes for a moment. She suddenly asked, "Brother Li, when the time comes, will your thatched cottage be big enough for Tanyue to live next to?"

Li Lan was slightly taken aback, realizing that Zhao Tanyue was serious, so she nodded and said, "Of course!"

"A word is settled!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and Li Lan also raised his hand, giving her a high five to seal the deal.

"Brother Li, I have official duties to attend to during my lunar exploration mission, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, she got up and left, with utmost grace.

As the banquet drew to a close, Li Lan instructed his men to pack up all the food and dishes and give them to the poor people who had attended, so they could take them back and share them with others.

These people were extremely grateful.

Only Guo Taiwei and many other officials in the prefecture couldn't help but shake their heads, feeling that this Grand Secretary of the court was truly incomprehensible in his actions.

Even though the King of Annam has lost power in the court, this is still a royal banquet. How could it be made to look like a banquet held by a lowly family, with people even taking leftovers home after eating?

If word got out, it would be incredibly embarrassing!

They all shook their heads and got up to leave.

The servants in the Prince's mansion began tidying up, while Li Lan prepared to return to his study.

……

Inside the bridal chamber.

Lin Ruobing sat on the embroidered bed, waiting for Li Yue's arrival.

This was the "second" time she had experienced something like this, but this time, she felt inexplicably nervous and a little annoyed.

"Hmph, I'll beat him up first!"

She muttered to herself, but then felt inexplicably restless and feverish. A certain person kept replaying in her mind...

She remembered when she impersonated her sister and married Li Lan. In the bridal chamber, she had given Li Lan a severe beating, almost killing him...

Without realizing it, a slight smile appeared on her lips. She recalled how Li Lan had forced her to take off her clothes and even kissed her... If Zhao Tanyue and the others hadn't arrived so quickly, she might have fallen victim to Li Lan's cruelty.

Thinking of this, her face flushed, and she felt a sudden surge of emotion.

"How could I possibly have such wild thoughts!"

"Enough, Lin Ruobing!"

Her face inexplicably flushed, as if she was losing control of herself.

Just then, the door creaked open and Li Yue walked in.
