Lai Jin Hai's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Not hard at all."
Li Shi became happy. In any case, her son-in-law had work to do, and Cui Hua would have a better life, wouldn't she?
Lu Erbai had preliminary candidates for his renovation team, which now included himself, Zheng Gong, Liang Wangsheng, and Lai Jin Hai.
Tomorrow, they could go and renovate Lu Sanzhu's house. It wasn't a big house, and there weren't many places to fix...

Chapter 1059: Dealing with the Zhang Family
As a result, County Princess Zhang managed to escape punishment.
However, she was still fined some silver, which was enough to frighten her.
In addition, Zhang Maolin was caned, and with his temperament, he would definitely blame County Princess Zhang for not protecting him. Their relationship was bound to suffer.
Moreover, news of this incident would likely spread quickly to the Dong'an Prefecture. Those who flattere...

Chapter 1058: Zhao Xi Is Still Here
When Shu Yu sent Meng Yunzheng out earlier, she passed through the front yard but didn't see Zhao Xi, assuming he had gone ahead to prepare things.
She didn't expect him to have only gone to the county office??
Zhao Xi was taken aback and uncertainly asked, "Shu Yu, are you saying that he... he has already gone to the capital?"
"Don't you know?"
Zhao Xi slapped his thigh, "He never told me."

Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "There's nothing to pack." He was planning to rush to the capital as fast as possible and wouldn't stop much on the way, so he only prepared a small bundle.
Knowing that Shuyu was worried, Meng Yunzheng could only reassure her, "You can rest assured at home. Prince Wu is in the capital, and everything is ready. There should...

"I see," Kong Zhiguo frowned. "Yuehua, could you please ask Lu Xiangjun for me?"

Among those present, some were already guests of the Lu family and had a good relationship with them. The rest had no grudges with Lu Shuyu or County princess Zhang, and since Shu Yu represented Jiangyuan County, naturally, they stood on her side. County princess Zhang status and her imposing attitude couldn't frighten them after witnessing Shu Yu's coming-of-age ceremony, where even the emperor had sent gifts.

How can we allow such a thing of insubordination to happen?"
