How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 220 Sister-in-law, Men Shouldn't Be Spoiled
"Alright!" Lu Taohua said, rolling up her sleeves. "I kindly invited you to eat barbecue, and you actually suspect me of abducting a man. I'll sell this wild boar right now so my fiancé can buy me some wine."

"No, no, no."

The group quickly began to deal with the wild boar.

That's not what we meant.

"We were a little surprised."

"Yes. We were a little surprised. Um, where does your brother-in-law work?"

"Yes, yes, where does your brother-in-law work?"

"Hmph!" Lu Taohua crossed her arms and looked at the busy crowd with a dark face, saying, "I was originally planning to tell you, but since you all think I can only get married by stealing, I've decided not to tell you."

Actually, Lu Taohua had no intention of telling them who her fiancé was. Her fiancé liked to dress up as a woman, and if she told them, how could he continue to dress up as a woman?
"No, please. You're our leader. People will laugh at us if we don't know who our brother-in-law is."

"Yes. Also, if we beat up our brother-in-law without knowing who he is, wouldn't that be like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, or family members not recognizing each other?"

"Yes, boss. Please tell us."

"Hmph! If you two get into a fight with him, who knows who'll beat whom up? Hurry up and clean up, then hurry up and grill." With that, Lu Taohua left.

As soon as she left, people started talking about it.

"Who's so pitiful?"

"It's not so pitiful, is it? Even though the head doesn't look good, it can make money."

"Exactly. If my wife could earn as much money as you, I'd stay home and listen to music every day."

"You are so beautiful."

"Then why don't you propose marriage to me?"

"I'm not good enough for you."

"cut!"

"What are you cutting? That's really what I'm thinking."

No one else believed it.

The commander of the secret guards didn't believe Dong Laoqi's letter either. He read it several times. After confirming he hadn't misread it, he wrote another letter to ask again before going to see the emperor.

The Emperor was just about to have a cup of tea and relax. "Luckily you didn't tell me before I was drinking my tea, otherwise I would have choked."

The commander of the secret guards knew that would happen, which is why he spoke up before the Emperor had his tea. "I was also very surprised at the time. What do you think of this?"

"This is a joyous occasion. However, Old Seventh Prince Dong must continue to be my beloved."

The commander of the secret guards understood. "I will reply to him immediately."

"Hmm. What do you think? Will their child inherit the father's good looks? Or the mother's divine power?"

"I hope they will all inherit it."

"Hahahaha... I also hope that they can all inherit it."

After receiving the reply from the commander of the secret guards, Dong Laoqi came to find Xiaogou Sheng. "The Emperor has agreed. However, the Emperor wants me to continue being his beloved."

"Then you'll have to marry my aunt under a different identity."

"Hmm. I'll discuss it with your aunt next time I see her."

Three months later, Lu Taohua and Xiao Gousheng met again in another prefecture city.

Eighteen was very happy. "Sister, you're out here doing errands for the Emperor again?"

"No. A gang of river bandits has appeared here. The Duke of Jin said I've never seen river bandits before, so he sent me here to learn from them."

Eighteen wanted to go too. "Can you take us with you? We've never seen river bandits before."

"We have wiped out that gang of river pirates."

"...Sis, if something like this happens in the future, could you please tell me first?"

"When you're a little older."

"Ok."

Qian Laifu and Xiao Gousheng knew about Dong Laoqi and Lu Taohua's relationship. Through their arrangement, Dong Laoqi and Lu Taohua soon had opportunities to be alone together.

Lu Taohua and Dong Laoqi simultaneously pulled out a silver note and handed it to each other. "Here you go, I don't know what you like," they said, both laughing.

Dong Laoqi: "We really are on the same wavelength."

Lu Taohua: "What does 'having a telepathic connection' mean?"

"It means we've come to the same conclusion."

Lu Taohua understood. "I will study more in the future."

"It's certainly good to read more books. However, a person's energy is limited. I hope you will focus most of your energy on studying military strategy."

"I understand, don't worry." Lu Taohua looked at Dong Laoqi and smiled, "I told my mother that you like me, and my mother said that you have good taste, just like her."

"That's right. Your mother took a liking to you at first sight, and so did I. Here, buy whatever you like."

Lu Taohua took the silver note from Dong Laoqi with one hand and stuffed her own silver note into Dong Laoqi's free hand with the other. "You should buy it yourself too."

After exchanging the banknotes, the two laughed again.

Lu Taohua: "Does this count as us working for free?"

"It shouldn't count, right?"

Lu Taohua also thought it didn't count. "Mother asked when we plan to get married?"

"Anytime is fine. It's just that I still want to dress as a woman after I get married."

"Go ahead and dress up if you want."

"Then I'll need to get a fake identity. What kind of identity do you want me to have?"

Lu Taohua thought for a moment. "It's easy to be exposed if we use a fake identity. Why don't we just let them guess?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means I'm married, but my husband is very mysterious."

Aren't you afraid of what people will say?

"I'm not afraid." Lu Taohua raised her hand and touched Dong Laoqi's face. "I'd rather let others gossip than let them know how handsome my husband is."

Old Dong's lips curled up. "Are you afraid someone will try to take it from you?"

Lu Taohua nodded.

Dong Laoqi kissed Lu Taohua. "If anyone tries to take me away from you, beat them to a pulp."

Lu Taohua was still basking in the joy of Dong Laoqi kissing her. "You...you kissed me?"

Dong Laoqi kissed Lu Taohua again. "Yeah. Do you want to kiss me back?"

"Yes!" Lu Taohua immediately cupped Dong Laoqi's face and kissed him. "I must have been a great philanthropist in my past life."

Dong Laoqi hugged Lu Taohua's waist. "I must have been a great philanthropist in my past life."

After spending some time together, the two went to find Master Daoyi.

Master Daoyi calculated an auspicious day for them.

After learning of their decision, Xiao Gousheng felt that Lu Taohua was spoiling Dong Laoqi too much. "Auntie, men shouldn't be spoiled."

Lu Taohua pinched the nose of the little dog, Sheng. "How old are you? You already know that men shouldn't be spoiled?"

The little dog rubbed its nose. "Although I'm young, I've been to many places, met many people, and heard many stories. Aunt, believe me, you really can't spoil men."

"My aunt just likes to spoil me."

"..." Never mind, she'd better not get involved. "Congratulations, little aunt, on winning the heart of your beauty."

Lu Taohua's smile was even more beautiful than a peach blossom. "Thank you. I also wish you could be like me."

The puppy thought to itself, "I don't want to shoulder everything myself." "Okay."

Lu Taohua stayed for two days and then left.

The puppy, with only one line left, was also preparing to head to the next prefecture.

Meanwhile, Wei Liefeng was also going to take the imperial examination for the first degree.

*Facepalm* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, darling! Wishing you happiness every day! (з(c)((((*^}{^*))))
