The Blessed

Calling him husband was even better than offering him a mountain of gold and silver. Yan Shengrui was finally satisfied, and withdrew his claws. Ling Jingxuan who had been laughing for too long couldn’t help twitching. After quite a while, he still couldn’t stop it. Now, it was Yan Shengrui’s turn to feel worried. He hurriedly held him into his arms, with his big hand gently rubbing his flat underbelly, trying to ease his twitching.

"I nearly laughed to death. Don’t do this next time.”

After quite a while, Ling Jingxuan who finally felt better threw him a hard stare, then relaxed his body and lay in his chest, the exposed skin was not delicate as before, but covered with countless purple hickeys. All over his body, you could barely find one cun of good skin, which proved how tough someone was last night.

"You have the final say, my sweetheart. I will all listen to you.”

Pulling him to his ear, even if Yan Shengrui regained his memories, he was still a bit villain. He had been too sick for him, no cure already.

"Really? I remember what we said before, after we get married, all properties would be under my name. Since you have regained your memories, report all your properties to me. I’ll take them over.”

Raising his eyebrows, Ling Jingxuan made a smirk on his face, and Yan Shengrui pinched his nose dotingly, “I got too many properties. My personal properties in the imperial city are regulated by Qin Yu. She is my nanny’s daughter. While I was away, she’d take care of everything in the mansion. My mansion in the fief is built in Cangzhou. When I was away, my housekeeper Long Hanqing would take care of everything, including all restaurants and manors and other properties. As for those businesses outside, like Baiyunge, Wanli Money House, all under my name, I take seventy percent of the share, Six (Liu) takes thirty percent. He regulates them usually. I am only responsible for collecting money. It’s all my belongings. As for the specific number, I’ll only know after asking some heads. If you are interested, we can go to the capital with my imperial sister-in-law.”

After he reported a series of the properties under his name, Ling Jingxuan was stunned. Forget about Baiyunge and Xinyuan Restaurant, since they had cooperated too much. How much they could earn, even a blind person could tell. Let alone Wanli Money House. It was said that was the biggest money house through the whole Qing Kingdom. And those were merely his active assets. If those immovable properties counted…Ling Jingxuan even felt embarrassed to go on calculating. It seemed that he really found a moneybag as his husband.

"Why do I think you are the richest man through the whole kingdom?"

Trying to endure the convulsions at the corner of the mouth, Ling Jingxuan leered at him, so he should even be much wealthier than Lord Six (Lord Liu), right?

"Hehe... You think money is that important to me? In the palace, it got so many priceless treasures, all spoils of war during those years. If you like, after going back to the capital, they are all yours.”

So he is a real bigwig?

"We’ll talk about that later. Just give me Baiyunge. I don’t want to waste time discussing the cooperation thing with Zeng Shaoqing. As for Xinyuan restaurant, isn’t it too little that we only own thirty percent’s share? At least fifty, I think. As for going back to the capital, forget it. Before His Majesty trusted you, the most important reason should be that you hadn’t been married and gotten no offspring, without offspring, even if you tried to seize the throne, not all relatives of the imperial family would support you. Now if we go back taking the two buns, I guess His Majesty would be the first to calculate you. The kids are still small, I don’t want to put them in such danger too early.”

This was what he had long considered. Before he could be 100 percent sure to secure his two buns, he wouldn’t go back to the capital with him.

"Well, I also think so, this time after my imperial sister-in-law goes back, there’d be turmoil. So it’s not the best time for us to go back now. Maybe next year. I guess the fight over the position of the empress should be over by then.”

Yan Shengrui nodded, looking into the front deeply. He who had grown up in the imperial palace was clearer than anyone about the imperial family’s heartlessness. At least before there was no result of the position of the empress, he wouldn’t let them go back, because, he who supported the empress to restore his position was still their target.

"Hmm, by the way, it is said that the nomads from the north would invade the borders in early spring every year. Will it really do if you don’t go back to the battlefield? Although Duke Zeng is brave and invincible, he is too old after all. I'm afraid some things may be too much for him."

Suddenly thinking of that thing, Ling Jingxuan rolled over and rested on his chest. If he went to war, those things he had prepared for him could be used. But pity that he had been too busy recently and hadn’t trained the kid doctor, after all the improvement of the medical skills wasn’t a moment’s thing. Maybe at least two years? So he had to find people he needed as soon as possible.

"You also said it’d be next spring. After spending the Spring Festival with you, I’ll go to the boarders then. Don’t worry. I will inform my imperial uncle-in-law in advance. Next year, I plan to give those nomads in the north a dead blow. At least, I would let them have no balls to step on the land of our Qing Kingdom for one whole year.”

Speaking of things on the battlefield, Yan Shengrui’s momentum became much stronger, before, he was not so malicious, mainly because he didn't want to go back to the capital, he would rather stay in the boarders with the soldiers to brave the wind and dew rather than go back to watch those people intriguing against each other. But, it didn’t mean he knew nothing about things in the capital, since every once in a while Yanyu Cabinet would report everything in the capital and the whole Qing Kingdom to him. You could say he nearly knew every big move in the whole kingdom and it was all under his control.

"That’s great. Oh, can you find some trustworthy blacksmiths? Better quite skilled. There’s one thing I didn’t tell you. As early as a few months ago, Brother Zhao and I have worked out the forging method of quality steel knives.”

There were still two months before the New Year. If with enough hands, they could be able to rush up a batch of quality steel knives.

"Sure enough! Jingxuan, thank you!"

Hugging him tightly, Yan Shengrui said so with excitement. If he said he hadn’t noticed a bit, he was lying. Actually he had been waiting, waiting for him to tell him himself. As expected, Jingxuan really did it for him.

"You fool, we are husband and wife!"

Yes, yesterday they made eternal vows to each other in front of their friends and family, and since then, they’d prosper together and also suffer together! Together forever!
