My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 128: Substitute, venting anger!
Xie Wan Ning looked at the prince in confusion, not knowing what the prince meant. She just felt that the clothes thrown to her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.
At this time, Prince Wei Chan, who was lying on the ground, ordered: "Put it on and come here!" As the prince said this, the skinny horse leaning beside him laughed foolishly, as if mocking him.
When had Xie Wan Ning ever suffered such a great humiliation? She turned around and was about to leave.
"Somebody come!"
The prince shouted twice, and two strong guards beside him stepped forward to block Xie Wan Ning!
"presumptuous!"
Xie Wan Ning shouted, and turned to face the Crown Prince again, and said proudly, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that I am Minister Pei's cousin, and we grew up together. Doesn't the Crown Prince still have to rely on my cousin to confront King Yi in the court?"
This would have been a good thing, but once it was said, it hit the prince right in the sore spot. He remembered the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Pei Huaizhi.
He sent away all the skinny horses and petty officials in the hall.
Seeing this, Xie Wan Ning raised her chin proudly.
Prince Wei Shao walked up to Xie Wan Ning with a smile on his face and said inexplicably, "I'm sorry, Ning'er!"
After saying that, he took Xie Wan Ning's hand and walked into the inner room.
A strange smell spread inside. Xie Wan Ning didn't want to go in, but she didn't want to offend Crown Prince Wei Chan, so she concealed the disgust in her eyes and followed the crown prince into the inner room.
Wait until both of them entered the inner room.
The palace door was immediately closed!
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap sounded from inside the hall.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me!"
Xie Wan Ning covered her face and looked at the prince in disbelief.
Crown Prince Wei Chan had just taken the Jinshi Powder, and the effect of the medicine was now taking effect. He was feeling ecstatic and put the dress roughly on Xie Wan Ning.
Xie Wan Ning was filled with grief and anger. She suddenly remembered why this dress looked familiar. Wasn't it Song Qingcheng who wore it a few days ago?
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
Xie Wan Ning finally got scared and asked with tears in her eyes.
Prince Wei Chan ignored Xie Wan Ning's cries and said in a frenzy: "Qingcheng, my beauty, let me love you well, and you will be happy! Qingcheng beauty, Qingcheng beauty"
Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning was struck by lightning. What did this mean?
This idiot prince is using her as a substitute for Song Qingcheng!
A wave of nausea hit Xie Wan Ning and she vomited.
Song! Qing! City!
This matter was related to Song Qingcheng again. She was jealous as a leopard and wished she could cut Song Qingcheng into pieces right now!
Crown Prince Wei Chan completely merged Xie Wan Ning and Song Qingcheng beside him into one, and continued to torture and humiliate the people under him, as if this was the same as humiliating Pei Huaizhi, until he fainted on Xie Wan Ning's body.
Xie Wan Ning could no longer bear the torture and fainted, with a bone-chilling hatred on her face.
At the same time, Hua Xiangrong.
Song Qingcheng inexplicably felt a chill!
Xia He noticed that Song Qingcheng was acting strange, and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hear this!
Song Qingcheng shook her head and drank a sip of warm tea, feeling a little better, but she still felt inexplicably panicked.
"The weather outside is bad again!"
Xia He opened the window and looked out, "Girl, the sun is still shining brightly outside!"
Song Qingcheng now didn't understand why she felt so inexplicably anxious.
Meng Ruoxi brought the shark silk to Song Qingcheng. It was indeed the best raw silk. The yarn woven into it was colorful and dazzling, and it was unprecedented in the world.
There is not much shark silk in this batch. I heard that it is not very expensive overseas, but the transportation cost is high and going out to sea is a dangerous job. It is much more expensive to transport it inland.
She also heard from Grandpa Meng that there was a country called Ni Lian overseas that specialized in producing all kinds of silk, which aroused Song Qingcheng's interest.
She wanted to go out to sea on the Meng family's ship before returning to Beijing.

Pei Huaizhi said he was going out to Changzhou Prefecture because the local tyrants were particularly rampant in various parts of Changzhou Prefecture. According to reports from informants, there were a large number of terrible incidents in Changzhou City where tyrants occupied the people's fertile land.
Some powerful people even resorted to despicable means to scheme against the common people. They destroyed dams, flooded people's fields and other despicable means, blocking the people's way of survival.
When the common people saw that their fields were destroyed, they had no choice but to sell their fields to the powerful at a low price in order to survive, even though they knew it was a trap set by the powerful, and just managed to get through the current difficulties.
The richer the land, the more people coveted it. The imperial court could not collect taxes, and the people suffered terribly. There were even people who starved to death in the city.
Land survey was imperative, but because it seriously affected the private interests of the powerful, it was largely blocked. It was said that the prefect of Changzhou was even killed because of it.
Large prefectures and counties like Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou could almost be dealt with with the cooperation of him and the Governor-General of Liangjiang using both soft and hard tactics, but the smaller the place, the more prestigious the family clan was compared to the prefect and the county magistrate.
This is the most difficult problem to solve. The local people are mainly families, which are equivalent to local tyrants. The relationships among them are complicated and the strong dragon cannot suppress the local tyrants. The Governor-General of Liangjiang is also unable to reach these places.
These local tyrants were dissatisfied with the re-measurement of the land, and together with thousands of people, they went to the provincial capital to cause trouble, and eventually defeated the prefect of Changzhou.
When the lords of the counties under Changzhou saw that their superiors had been defeated, they became weak and hid themselves away, not daring to mention the issue of land survey again. This led to a stalemate and the new national policy could no longer be implemented.
However, the powerful people in various states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River are all watching the states and counties around them. If what happened in Changzhou is imitated by other states and counties and finally connected together, it will probably be even more troublesome.
Pei Huai's goal was to defeat them one by one.
Who would have thought that these local tyrants in Changzhou would suddenly become so bold and no one knew where they got the news from.
As soon as Pei Huaizhi arrived in Changzhou, the local tyrant brought some people to cause trouble in front of Pei Huaizhi.
Pei Huaizhi was accompanied by only five or six officials. Even though they were frightened before, they ran to Pei Huaizhi's back with their heads in their hands after seeing the scene, muttering in a low voice: "Minister Pei, what should we do? The enemy is numerous and we are few. Why don't we say a few nice words first and go back to discuss it later?"
"Yes, Minister Pei, these are all unruly people, we should not confront them head-on."
another accompanying official asked.
Pei Huaizhi turned around and glanced at the so-called court official behind him, who was actually a coward.
With just one glance, the accompanying officials fell silent and dared not say another word.
When the powerful people saw that the legendary imperial envoy turned out to be a young man who had just reached the age of twenty and had the appearance of a scholar with elegant appearance, they became even bolder.
There was laughter from the crowd.
