On New Year's Eve, the whole family changed into new clothes early and, with the maids and servants, put up couplets on the doors of each room.

Yunpeng followed behind. He had never done these things before, so they were all very new to him.

Even the fireworks were lit by him. Meng Fei pouted, disgusted. If it weren't for those things, he would have kicked him out.

For breakfast, we had dumplings. The cooks made a lot of dumplings in advance and froze them all.

The Xiao family eats the same food throughout the household, except when guests come.

The New Year, with no one visiting each other, was no different from any other year.

Xiao Nan told the steward to ask the maids and servants in the house which one could sing, and sing well, and sing a few songs for everyone, with a reward in return.

Finally, two maids volunteered to sing a few songs for their masters in the living room.

Her voice is pretty good, but the lyrics are a bit corny, though they're still considered fashionable here.

The girl said she learned it from someone singing it in the county town.

Xiao Nan went back to her room and took out a suona from her spatial storage. It was the only musical instrument she knew how to play, and she found it particularly enjoyable.

So I stood in the yard and gave it a try.

Hearing the sound, her family all ran over and saw her standing in the yard, smiling at them.

"Come on, it's New Year's Day, I'll play a tune for everyone."

The sound of the suona resonated in people's hearts, melodious, high-pitched, and deep, intoxicating and captivating, making one's blood boil.

As the song ended, before they could catch their breath, Xiao Nan sang.

"My dearest husband, do you know how deep my love for you is? I love no one but you, and we will never be apart in this life or the next..."

Wow, everyone's hearts warmed up. The voice was so beautiful, and the lyrics were so passionate.

Meng Fei listened to Xiao Nan's song, his eyes welling up with tears. It must have been sung for him; it was so beautiful.

His wife gave him another surprise.

Not only is the singing beautiful, but the suona playing is also superb, oh my!

After Xiao Nan finished singing, he saw them still standing there dumbfounded and burst into laughter.

"How's this song?"

"Wow! It sounds amazing, so beautiful! This sound only exists in heaven."

"Haha, it's Chinese New Year, everyone should have some fun. Living the same life every day is quite boring."

"Then next year, shall we hire an opera troupe to perform at our house for a few days?"

"No need, it's too chaotic. Let's go to the teahouse and listen to music instead."

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, and Meng Fei, holding Xiao Nan's hand, asked, "Wife, what's the name of the song you sang?"

"Our love is stronger than gold."

"The name is nice. From now on, you can only sing it for your husband, okay?"

"not good."

"why?"

"I want everyone to know that my love for my husband is as deep as the sea and as strong as gold."

Meng Fei said, moved, "I will never let you down."

Xiao Nan chuckled. Silly man, this is someone else's song. She just came to sing it, and it moved him so much.

If he heard her love song from her past life, wouldn't he cry his eyes out?

Xiao Nan saw that the maids and nannies' faces were red, and knew that they were embarrassed by the lyrics, so he waved his hand.

"Everyone, go home. Make something nice for dinner. Those who want to stay up for New Year's Eve can stay up, and those who don't should go to bed early. Come and wish me a Happy New Year tomorrow, and I'll give you a red envelope."

"Madam, are you not having dinner?"

"Hmm, I'm a little tired and want to sleep. You all eat well and get some rest."

After saying that, he glanced at the old woman and said, "You are too."

"If you're not feeling well, go and rest. Don't worry about us, we're all fine with you."

Meng Fei helped Xiao Nan into the house. Yun Peng tried to follow, but Meng Fei kicked him out.

Xiao Nan took off his outer clothes, leaving only his inner garment, feeling more comfortable that way.

She stroked her belly and said softly, "Ever since I got pregnant with this baby, I feel tired even with the slightest movement. I'm sure the little one will be naughty."

"It's because your health is poor. I'll invite a doctor over later to give you a proper check-up."

"No need, I know my body. It will be fine once the pregnancy is stable."

Meng Fei placed a quilt behind her so she could lean against it, then moved the kang table in front of her, on which were placed water, fruit, nuts, and other snacks.

He said, "My wife can eat when she's hungry. I'm going to sit with Yunpeng for a while."

"Don't find me any doctors. I'll just go to town to get checked out after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

"No, this is your first pregnancy, you must be careful. Once you have more experience, I will do whatever you want."

Xiao Nan waved his hand, and Meng Fei left.

She closed her eyes, intending to take a nap, when Longlong's voice came from behind her.

"Master, everything is done. Haha, even though it's the New Year, not a single red paper has appeared in the capital. Teahouses, brothels, and restaurants are all closed and won't be able to open until after the first month of the lunar calendar."

"Well done, how much stuff did you get?"

Longlong immediately started showing off: "Haha, you say the nobles of the Dragon Kingdom are poor? Poor what? The treasures they've hidden are more than the national treasury! My God, it's indescribable, indescribable!"

"More than all the gold and silver in our space?"

"They are vast. Compared to them, our small house is like a big house. Not only are there mountains of gold and silver, but also countless jewels and precious medicinal herbs that can't be hauled away even by cartload."

"Oh, now I feel so energized."

"There's nothing they can't get, only things we can't imagine. We don't even know where they get these things from. Just the deep-sea pearls alone number in the hundreds."

Xiao Nan quickly used his mind to check the space. Good heavens, the warehouse was almost full, leaving only the middle teleportation channel open.

She swallowed hard as she looked at them; Longlong had already categorized these things.

Food, drinks, medicine, clothing, gold, silver, and jewelry were neatly arranged on the shelves.

She grinned and chuckled, "Longlong, we could spend all this money in several lifetimes."

Longlong chuckled foolishly, "Master, I gave quite a few copper coins from my spatial storage to the beggar."

"Well, you decide, Xiao Qian. My husband is going to build a manor after the New Year, and it will definitely cost a lot of money."

“In our space, there are silver notes, piled up here, at least tens of millions of taels.”

Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Damn it, they've really embezzled a lot."

"Which official isn't corrupt?"

"They are all plundered from the people's hard-earned money. The reason why the people are living such a miserable life is inseparable from them."

"Do you intend to turn the capital into a river of blood?"

"Kill them, kill them until the world is turned upside down! I want to show those corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen what the consequences of their evil deeds will be."

"Yes, Master. Leave this to me. I guarantee I will complete the task."

"Indiscriminate killing is prohibited!"

"I always make sure I understand everything before I take any action."

Xiao Nan wandered around the space, admiring Longlong's masterpiece, and gradually fell asleep.

At this time, the capital was in a state of panic. One old emperor had just died, and now a young emperor had died. Was the Dragon Kingdom about to change its rule?

What's the point of celebrating the New Year? I have no interest in celebrating it.

To avoid this unexpected disaster, every household stayed indoors, the streets and alleys were almost deserted, and shops had no choice but to close their doors.

This is a phenomenon that has never occurred in the Dragon Kingdom for hundreds of years.

White cloths were hung everywhere in the palace. The murderer could not be found, and there was no clue. They could only accept their fate.

While they were holding the funeral, the selection of a new emperor was also proceeding in full swing.

The next emperor must be a descendant of the current emperor. If the emperor is in his thirties, his children will be at most twenty years old.

The recently deceased emperor was a sadistic man who killed women. Only his principal wife, the empress, left him with a child. However, this prince was born weak and frail, making him unfit to be emperor.

They couldn't allow another prince to ascend the throne, so the emperor's maternal relatives set their sights on it.

Relying on his powerful army, he orchestrated a substitution, finding a child who resembled the prince to impersonate him, while the emperor's maternal grandfather assumed the position of regent and appointed the crown prince.

The Dragon Kingdom has changed hands.

No one knew about this; it was kept completely secret, but it couldn't be kept from Longlong.
