Jiang Xue Ning fainted for three days due to this illness. The doctor said that she was overworked and evil wind entered her body.
She woke up on a bright afternoon, staring blankly at the sunlight coming through the window, feeling extremely tired.
Qing He said in surprise, "My Lord, you are awake!"
Then everyone was startled and the room suddenly became lively and bustling.
She drank half a bowl of chicken soup, and her head felt less dizzy and she felt a little stronger.
Shen Zhiyun sat beside her bed and asked with concern, "Have you been under too much pressure recently?"
She rushed here from Wutong Academy after hearing that she was ill. As a close friend of hers for many years, she knew her too well.
Tiredness is one thing, and she probably has a lot of psychological pressure from the Lu family's affairs. It's not that she is weak, but after all, it's a living life. The more cruel she was at the time, the greater the aftermath.
Jiang Xue Ning smiled bitterly, "I don't think I'm bad enough."
Shen Zhiyun sighed, "Not everyone has a heart as hard as iron. They still have a conscience. It's a good thing to feel pain in the heart."
She lowered her eyes and said in a dazed voice, "So I have never understood how Helian Xuan and Xiao Linfeng could be so cruel back then. The Gu family was not a strange family to them, but they took the lives of the entire Gu family without blinking an eye."
"Power devours people's hearts." Shen Zhiyun looked at her gently, "It's good that you are like this, but don't make it too hard on yourself."
Shen Zhiyun stayed with her for two days, and she recovered a lot of her spirits. The power of the Snow Clan had been uprooted in Xiangchu.
When Xue Yujing came to see her, she sighed softly, "They actually have people in more than a dozen aristocratic families. They are really lurking deep enough."
Jiang Xue said to Shen Zhiyun while lying on a chair, "Help me write a notice to expose the ambitions of the Snow Clan. They claim to be descendants of God, but I want to label them as demons."
After all, the Snow Clan has a very legendary origin, and is surrounded by many legends. It is also the mother's family of the Lonely Queen. If you want to label them as a demon clan and nail them to the pillar of shame, you need the art of language.
Shen Zhiyun responded, "Tell me about the Snow Clan in detail."
The two of them talked in the study room at night, Jiang Xue Ning told her about the Snow Clan bit by bit. Shen Zhiyun wrote two long chapters, which were easy to understand and full of stories. They fully exposed the Snow Clan's greed and deceptive methods.
She looked at the notice in her hand with satisfaction, "As expected of a scholar, it is written clearly and understandably."
"The Snow Clan is indeed evil. We must make them a pariah in Xiangchu." Shen Zhiyun gave her advice. "Notices are too distant for ordinary people. It would be better to make up a story about the Snow Clan and find storytellers in major teahouses to tell it."
"This is a good idea. This way, news about the Snow Tribe will spread faster and wider."
Seeing that her face was still a little pale, Shen Zhiyun said considerately, "You should have a good rest. Let me handle this matter."
While everyone was busy, she had nothing to do but started recuperating from her illness.
At the same time as the notices were posted, storytellers were telling the story of the Snow Tribe in teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys of Hunan and Chu.
Even a few days later, a book called "Legend of the Snow Tribe Demon Girl" appeared in the bookstore. It was written by a female student from Wutong Academy. It quickly sold out and became a best-selling book.
The hottest topic on the streets is the Snow Tribe. Even three-year-old children know that the beautiful men and women of the Snow Tribe are deceptive.
The effect was surprisingly good, and the noble families who were found to have hidden Snow Clan members were even more panicked.
Especially the end of the Lu family was obvious to all, and everyone felt a sense of fear.
Zhou Yidu, the toughest patriarch of the Zhou family, became ill because of this incident. His nephew was killed on the spot when he tried to assassinate Jiang Xuening. Later, the palace guards arrested two people from his house.
One was his nephew's wife, and the other was his concubine. He felt a chill down his spine, and with the sadness of the Lu family's ruined fate, he fell ill.
Young Master Zhou said cautiously, "The seven-day period given by the palace has passed. Should we leave or make up the money?"
The palace was probably busy with the Snow Clan's affairs, so it hadn't spared time to settle accounts with them for the time being. But with the methods of the King of Xiang, he would have to settle accounts with them sooner or later.
Zhou Yi looked at his son who was already able to take care of himself and asked, "Should I leave or stay? What do you think?"
"If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, it might not be a bad thing for the Zhou family to take the opportunity to go out and have a look." Young Master Zhou analyzed seriously, "Unfortunately, the world is in chaos now. I think it's better to stay in Xiangchu."
"The King of Xiang is ruthless and powerful, but this kind of ruthlessness can help him survive in troubled times and protect Xiang and Chu."
"You see things clearly..." Zhou Yi sighed, "Pay the money you owe me, and give me another 50,000 as a farewell gift to the soldiers. I wish them a successful start."
Zhou Yi had completely let it go, and after this time he was ready to hand over the Zhou family to him, and slowly let go and take care of himself in his old age. He didn't want to end up like Lu Zhen.
As soon as the Zhou family took the lead in paying the additional taxes, other families who were still waiting and watching followed suit.
Qing He ran to see the excitement and said to Jiang Xue Ning excitedly, "It's a lot of silver. I have never seen so much silver in my life."
The Ministry of Revenue counted and collected this money, and then rationally allocated it for military pay and construction.
Since these noble families have surrendered, Jiang Xue Ning does not want to make things too embarrassing. After all, Xiangchu's business development still needs them.
She instructed the Ministry of Revenue, "Post a notice to express gratitude on behalf of the soldiers for their generosity."
As soon as the notice came out, all the major families breathed a sigh of relief, as the matter was finally over.
Soon, Jincheng took over smoothly and good news kept coming in.
Everyone has worked hard during this period of time. On the day when Jiang Li and the others returned from Jincheng, Jiang Xue Ning set up a banquet in the palace to reward everyone.
Jing Yu also came along, dressed in brocade clothes, his amorous peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, he still looked like a playboy.
"Tsk tsk, it feels like a long time since we last met. We haven't seen each other for so long. I miss you so much."
Jiang Xue Ning said with a smile, "Now that I have taken Jincheng, I will definitely fulfill the old city lord's wish and find a powerful woman to marry you off."
Jing Yu glanced at him, "I just want to warm your bed..."
"unnecessary…"
Du Yishui looked at his beautiful face and blinked, "I need it. Please warm it for me."
Xue Yujing tapped her on the head in annoyance, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Hahahahaha..." Jing Yu laughed happily, "Little girl, it's easy to be deceived by bad people like this..."
"I think you are a bad guy..."
Although the process was tortuous, the result was relatively smooth. Everyone relaxed, and after three rounds of drinks, it was already dark.
Yun Ni hurried over and whispered in Jiang Xuening's ear, "There is an urgent letter from Tianguang Pavilion."
"What's that?"
"It is said that there is news about the King of Yunzhou..."
Jiang Xue Ning sobered up instantly and went to the study to read the letter.
