“Han Yueting has increased his family’s power, status, and influence. The Hans wouldn’t have improved without him. Perhaps another family would have overtaken them among the six great families.”
Shen Mohen’s expression turned cold whenever he spoke about the Hans. He realized how capable Han Yueting could be.
Su Binglan was in deep thought as she looked at the information and listened to her cousin. Afterward, Shen Qiuhui told her about the capital’s current situation.
Su Binglan only went to bed when it was almost midnight. Still, she tossed and turned but could not fall asleep. She could not stop thinking about her childhood as Lan Ruobing.
However, she had only recovered a portion of her memories. She could not remember some parts of her past when she was in Su Teng Village. After coming to the capital and walking its streets, some blurry shadows would flash across her mind.
They seemed to be her memories when she was Lan Ruobing. Even so, they were vague images, and Su Binglan could not make out the details. When she began to feel like she was about to remember something, she fell asleep and dreamt about being Lan Ruobing again.
It was Lan Ruozhu!s birthday, and many relatives visited the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. It was also the day the Hans sent someone to break off Lan Ruobing and Han Luetings engagement.
Although the two did not have much contact, Han Luetings actions brought shame to the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. Lan Ruozhu grew so worried about his sister that he vomited blood and fainted. It was also due to the poison in his body.
He would not care about his health, but he would not allow others to humiliate his sister. The Hans could have chosen another day to cancel the engagement. Instead, they chose to embarrass those of the Deceased Royal’s Mansion.
The family did not care if Lan Ruozhu and Lan Ruobing retaliated. During that time, the siblings’ parents had already passed away, entrusting the mansion to their son and daughter.
Since Lan Ruozhu was sick, his sister wanted to give him a proper birthday party to cheer him up. However, Lan Ruobing blamed herself for her brother vomiting blood and fainting.
When she went to the Hans’ palace to demand an explanation, the family would not allow her to enter. That day, she stood outside the palace. Although Lan Ruozhu said that he would seek revenge for his sister, she did not want him to trouble himself.
Ads by Pubfuture After all, his priority was to protect the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. Because of the Hans’ attitude, many of the dukes and nobles dared not have anything to do with the Deceased Royal’s Mansion.
When Wei Jin’an returned and heard the news, he took the initiative to visit the Deceased Royal’s Mansion to propose to Lan Ruobing to protect her reputation. He wanted everyone to know how highly respected Princess Lan Ruobing was.
At that time, the Hans were no match for the Wei family’s background and reputation. Wei Jin’an’s actions preserved the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. Once again, dukes and nobles began interacting with those of the Deceased Royal’s Mansion.
Since the emperor feared the Wei family’s military power, he dared not touch the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. Moreover, Lan Riobing would have time to make arrangements to solidify the mansion’s defenses.
Although she was weak at that time, she still dragged herself to prepare many things, including Blue Mountain Academy’s establishment.
Since Lan Ruobings mother was from the Ice clan, the former inherited some of the clan’s abilities. That was why Lan Ruobing and Su Binglan could sometimes have visions in the form of dreams. Therefore, Lan Ruobing planted spies around certain people.
When she knew that something would happen to the Wei family, she arranged for people to protect them before she died.
Su Binglan felt groggy when she woke up from her dream. Although the sky was still dark, the memories she had regained were crystal clear. She would never forget them again.
As she thought about it, she smirked sinisterly and muttered, “Indeed, it’s time for revenge.”
After breakfast, Su Binglan brought Su Chun out somewhere. The latter grew curious about the place and asked, “Master, are we having tea here?”
Su Binglan replied, “This is the Ice Tea House, a place that specializes in buying and selling information.
In the past, no one, including Su Binglan, did not know about the Ice Tea House. Bing Suwan had established and left behind the tea house for her daughter, but she also sealed a portion of Lan Ruobings memories.
Since Su Binglan had regained some of Lan Ruobings memories, she was able to rediscover the Ice Tea House. It was still early in the morning, and there were not many people there.
The shopkeeper was counting on an abacus at the front counter when a waiter approached Su Binglan and asked, “Would you like some tea or stay in the hotel?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan answered indifferently, “I’ll have an Ice Moon Tea.”
It was a tea Bing Suwan made, but only a few knew about it. The shopkeeper was not as spirited just now, but he stood up abruptly when he heard it. “Dear guests, please follow me upstairs.”
Although he was excited, he restrained his emotions and asked, “Miss, how do you know about the Ice Moon Tea?”
“My mother used to make it.” Su Binglan revealed a jade token that looked like the Ice Moon Tea symbol. She did not know how or why the token appeared in her pocket dimension. However, she knew her mother had left it for her.
The shopkeeper hurriedly knelt, saying, “It is my honor to meet you finally, Master.”
“Stand. I’m here for some information,” Su Binglan said.
“Whose information do you need, Master? I have everything.”
“l want details on Si Qi.”
“Please wait a moment, Master. I shall get the dossier now.” The shopkeeper went inside and collected Si Qi’s file.
Su Binglan’s eyes appeared solemn as she looked through the information. “The Royal Forest Guard!”@@novelbin@@
She did not expect the person who had fallen from grace back then to become a member of the Royal Forest Guard so quickly.
That night, Si Qi returned home after his patrolling in the middle of the night. However, he felt something was amiss when he opened the door. Before he could do anything, a sword appeared at his neck, causing him to pale.
He was an expert among the royal guards, yet someone was able to place a sword against his neck instantly.
‘Who is this person? Why are they so skilled?!’
“Don’t move, or your head will roll,” a woman’s voice sounded.
“Wh-what are you doing?” Si Qi wearily asked when he saw the two women before him.
Su Binglan smirked. “Do you still remember the mission Princess Ruobing gave you four years ago?”
Si Qi was shocked when he heard the princess’s name..

Si Qi glared at Su Binglan, asking, “What do you want?”
“Nothing much. Just answer my questions honestly,” Su Binglan said casually. Even so, she exuded a fierce killing intent that sent shivers down one’s spine. Si Qi’s face reddened as he said, “l don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“You don’t, huh?” Su Chun was ecstatic because she finally got to follow her master on such an exciting mission. Su Chun liked being direct in her attacks, so she applied pressure to her sword, causing Si Qi’s neck to bleed.
Si Qi was terrified. “Princess Ruobing never assigned me to any missions! There are none!”
He wanted to say he did not know the princess at all, but he suspected the two women would not believe him. Still, he feared dying as he looked at the sword.
A coldness flashed in Su Binglan’s eyes as she asked, “She didn’t give you any missions?”
“No, she didn’t.” Si Qi became even more terrified as he broke out in a cold sweat, and his legs went weak.
“Do you remember Lin Rou?”
“N-No, I don’t even know who that is!”
Su Binglan observed Si Qi’s expression with a mocking smirk. “It seems you’re unwilling to cooperate. Do you honestly think you can pretend not to know anything just because your master is dead?”
Su Binglan placed her hand on Si Qi’s head and released a surge of spiritual energy, causing him to scream in pain as beads of sweat rolled from his forehead, “Ahh!”
Su Chun froze momentarily before asking, “Master, should I shut him up?”
“It’s okay, no one can hear him,” Su Binglan said. She had set up a barrier around the area so no one could hear Si Qi’s screams, no matter how loud he screamed.
Ads by Pubfuture Since he refused to tell the truth, Su Binglan stopped wasting time and used her powers to obtain Si Qi’s memories. Although, it was a risky method as the person under the spell would become delirious.
Still, Su Binglan showed no mercy to traitors. Back when she saved Si Qi as
Lan Ruobing, the latter had stated her conditions, and Si Qi agreed to work for her.
Lan Ruobing later tasked Si Qi with delivering a message. According to the princess’s memories, Lin Rou and Si Qi betrayed her.
Su Binglan withdrew her hand and said, “Since you’ve already betrayed me, you shall die.”
“No, please spare me! 1 didn’t mean to betray Princess Ruobing—” Si Qi begged for mercy, but Su Chun had already sliced his neck. He died with his eyes wide open in fear.
Su Binglan no longer needed Si Qi because she had already figured out what she needed to know from his memories. She then took her Corpse Dissolver and poured it onto Si (Zi’ s lifeless body, causing it to turn to dust.
“Let’s go.” Su Binglan brought Su Chun to a vast yet hidden courtyard with a few guards around.
“Master, what is this place?”
“It’s where Lin Rou lives.’
“She’s still alive?” Su Chun knew Lin Rou was once Princess Ruobings servant girl. Su Chun thought Lin Rou died at the same time as the princess.
“She is,” Su Binglan replied coldly, “This courtyard is the residence of the heir to the Lu Public House. Lin Rou is hiding here.”
Su Chun turned solemn, saying, “The Lu Public House belongs to the Crown Prince’s and Crown Princess’s faction.’
Su Binglan’s eyes glinted with killing intent. The Crown Princess, Lu Zuidie, used to have an excellent relationship with Lan Ruozhu. Unfortunately, Lu Zuidie entered the palace and became the Crown Princess.
She even provided the Crown Prince with a lot of information regarding Lan Ruozhu. Moreover, the Crown Prince had a lot to do with the Wei family’s downfall. Perhaps it also had something to do with Lu Zuidie. One could only imagine what role Lin Rou played in all of this.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan exuded a dangerous aura as she led Su Chun into the courtyard. Lin Rou was sleeping when she felt a chill down her spine and suddenly opened her eyes. Before she could scream, someone put a pill in her mouth and covered it.
She had no time to react before she swallowed the pill. After struggling for a while, she asked, “Wh-who are you? What did you feed me?”
Su Binglan said, “You have no right to know who we are. The pill I gave you is a disfiguring poison.”
“How dare you treat me this way?! 1 work for Prince Lu Zuiyo!” Lin Rou shouted.@@novelbin@@
Su Binglan sneeered. “l know Prince Lu is the Crown Princess’s brother. You betrayed Princess Ruobing and became one of them.”
“Wh-who are you?” Lin Rou paled from fear, but she was also outraged. She Lan Ruobing had already died but wondered why someone was asking about her.
Smack!
Su Chun slapped Lin Rou, causing her face to swell instantly. “Cut the crap and answer our questions. Don’t speak unless spoken to.”
Su Chun detested traitors.
‘Princess Ruobing was kind-hearted and caring toward these people, yet they dared to betray her.’
Lin Rou covered her face and glared at the two women before her. When she saw Su Binglan, she thought the young lady was highly similar to Lan Ruobing.
“When did you decide to betray me? If you lie, I’ll cut your face and let the drug change your appearance. You won’t die, but you’ll have to show Lu Zuiyou your disfigured face. The pill you swallowed will also make you bleed from your seven orifices. Imagine having to live on like that.”
Su Binglan removed something from her pocket as she spoke. A fragrance spread through the room that caused Li Rou to feel pain. “Gah…”
Lin Rou began to feel so much pain that she could no longer take it. She exclaimed, “Fine, I’ll talk! Princess Zuidie often visited Prince Ruozhu and became close to him. She also sent people to rope us in.
“l didn’t want to betray Princess Binglan, but Princess Zuidie said she’d tell her brother to bring me into his palace to live beside him if I did. I had no choice!”
Su Chun was so angry that she slapped Lin Rou again, knocking out two of her teeth. The latter yelped as the two women frightened her.
Su Binglan sneered. “That’s why Princess Binglan gave you a brocade pouch and told you to look for Si Qi before she died. She wanted you to send a message to General Jin’an, yet you didn’t go. Instead, you went looking for Lu Zuiyou and gave the brocade pouch to him!”
Lan Ruobing had set up traps for her revenge before she died. She had used herself as bait to lure some people out of the Deceased Royal’s Mansion so that she could free her brother from spies.
However, Lan Ruobing dreamt of something before she died and only had Lin Rou by her side. The princess could only entrust Lin Rou with one last task, but she did not realize that Lin Rou had already switched sides..

Lan Ruobing did not doubt anyone she hired and would not use those who were untrustworthy. Since Lin Rou had performed flawlessly for the princess, the latter did not suspect Lin Rou of betrayal.
Still, Su Binglan did not expect the problem to lie with Lu Zuidie. When the emperor declared the marriage between Lu Zuidie and Chu Luiyan, the former acted as if she had no choice.
At that time, Lan Ruozhu felt guilty for not protecting Lu Zuidie. However, Duke Lu had agreed to bestow the marriage, and Lan Ruozhu was in no position to do anything.
After careful consideration, Su Binglan felt there was something amiss about Lu Zuidie not having a choice. Perhaps the latter had already contacted the Crown Prince in private back then.
After the marriage, Lu Zuidie hinted to Lan Ruozhu that she had no choice. It seemed the former wanted Lan Ruozhu to do something. If he did, it would be disrespectful to the emperor, and the emperor might even charge him with treason.
Lan Ruozhu wanted to protect Lu Zuidie, but the Deceased Royal’s Mansion was a thorn in the emperor’s side. Lan Ruozhu had to protect so many people and could not achieve the things he wanted to.
He planned to bring Lu Zuidie to the palace to meet the emperor, but she did not dare to or want to implicate the Lu Public House. Lan Ruozhu was disappointed because he understood Lu Zuidie’s attitude at that time.
He understood that she only wanted to hide and do nothing. Instead, Lu Zuidie wanted Lan Ruozhu to sacrifice himself for her. If she did not show up, Lan Ruozhu would be in no position to do anything for her.
Later, Lu Zuidie became the Crown Princess. Perhaps she had even approached Lan Ruozhu with a motive from the start. If that were the case, Lu Zuidie was cunning.
Lin Rou paled when she heard Su Binglan’s threats. Only Lan Ruobing, Lu Zuiyou, and Lin Rou knew about the situation. However, Lan Ruobing had already died, making Lin Rou wonder how Su Binglan knew about it.
‘These women aren’t Prince Zuiyou’s. Do they belong to Princess Ruobing?!
Ads by Pubfuture No, that can’t be. She’s already dead.’
“Wh-who are you two?! How do you know so much?”
Su Binglan revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said, “I’m here to settle some scores with you and take revenge.”
“Y-You’re one of Princess Ruobings, aren’t you? You’re one of hers!” Lin Rou was horrified. She knew how capable Lan Ruobing was. Although the latter was young, she had many loyal subordinates.
Lan Ruobing was exceptionally intelligent, and most would never dare to betray her. Lin Rou only betrayed the princess because she knew Lan Ruobing was about to die.
However, she did not expect Lan Ruobings people to know about everything that had happened. Lin Rou’s fear of Lan Ruobing was deep within her bones. After all, the princess was kind to her subordinates but would punish those who betrayed her.
“Ah! It hurts!” Lin Rou felt a sudden pain in her body, knowing the poison had begun to act up. It was as if countless red ants were gnawing on her body.
Su Chun wanted to kill her, but she felt it would be too easy on Lin Rou. The latter then fell to the ground, covered in sweat. Lin Rou begged weakly, “S-Spare me, pleas… I beg you…”
Su Binglan and Su Chun watched indifferently. Su Binglan would show no mercy to those who betrayed her. When Lin Rou fainted, Su Chun asked, “She can’t be dead, right, Master?”
“She’s not.’
A while later, Lin Rou regained consciousness and knelt, saying mechanically, “Master.”
Su Binglan demanded, “Tell me everything you know about the Lu Public
House, Lu Zuiyou, and Lu Zuidie.”
Lin Rou continued to speak mechanically, stunning Su Chun. “Master, what’s happening?”@@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture “l just fed her a puppet pill,” Su Binglan explained, “She’s under my control now and will continue to listen to my orders in the future.”
Su Chun inwardly exclaimed, ‘My master’s the best!’
After gathering information on Lu Zuiyou and his sister, Su Binglan began mobilizing her spies. She had also obtained more information about certain individuals from the teahouse.
She then spent a few days cleaning up some messes and wrote some names on a piece of paper. “Su Chun, arrange for a team to assassinate these people.” “Who are they, Master?”
“They’re working for the Lu Public House and Lu Zuidie. I also included some people who work for Chu Liuwu and Han Yueting on that list.”
Although these people had hidden themselves well, Su Binglan quickly discovered they were on the same side.
“These people are highly secretive. Even ministers, other government officials, or commoners don’t know what they’ve done. We must make them mess up because they’re so well hidden.” Su Binglan did not want to waste too much time in the capital since she had many things to do.
Therefore, she decided to deal with some people as quickly and accurately as possible.
“Here are some pills you can use whenever necessary. These will make your job a little more convenient. I’ll provide you with some rumors to spread, too.”
“Right away, Master,” Su Chun said excitedly. She admired her master more and more with each passing day.
Su Binglan made many arrangements very quickly. Soon, the Lu Zuidie and even Duke Lu’s people realized their trusted aides had disappeared into thin air. Even their corpses were gone.
Han Yueting realized it was not as simple as it seemed. It was as if an invisible hand had plucked certain people away from the world. Soon after, someone in the Lu Public House was discovered to be using witchcraft on the emperor.
Then there were the clothes used by the wooden figures, which came from the Han Familys cloth shop. It shocked the emperor. In his rage, he ordered his men to imprison the people of Lu Public House and the Han family. He then planned to execute them.
Lu Zuidie fainted when she heard about what had happened at Duke Lu’s mansion. When she regained consciousness, he ran to the emperor and said, “Emperor, my father is innocent. Someone must’ve framed him. Please spare my father.”
Lu Zuidie was afraid and in a panic. She had always schemed against others in the past and even killed countless palace maids. Their lives meant nothing to her, after all.
However, she was fearful when the emperor threatened to execute those from the Lu Public House.
Chu Feisen did not care about Lu Zuidie, saying, “You and your people are the reason why my father has scolded me!”
The emperor had grounded Chu Feisen because of all the chaos. The latter was ruthless and would not have made Lu Zuidie the Crown Princess if she had not benefitted him..

The Crown Prince now hated Lu Zuidie and abolished her status as the Crown
Princess Consort. He also did that to show his father that he and Lu Zuidie had nothing to do with Duke Lu’s residence.
This incident also involved Han Yueting. He was engaged to the Crown Prince’s sister, making her the Prince Consort. Therefore, the emperor considered deposing his son after the incident.
Various rumors then spread among the people, but it was more than that. The commoners knew the Crown Prince had once conspired with the people around him to take many other innocent lives.
He could not refute, even if he wanted to. At this time, some began discussing the Wei and Gongsun families. Everyone said the Crown Prince was heavily involved in the Wei army’s destruction three years ago.
Some even obtained the letter containing proof of the Crown Prince colluding with the enemy. These people then made countless copies of the letter to spread throughout the capital and all over the country.
The whole world was furious, and even the emperor could not protect his son.
Everyone, including the commoners, had finally learned about the Crown Prince’s many evil deeds.
Everyone felt injustice for the Wei and Gongsun families. Several prominent families also stepped forward to demand that the emperor punish his son, the Crown Prince.
At that moment, a newspaper comic from the capital described how the Crown Prince colluded with the enemy to harm the Wei family and many others.
The news circulated among the people, and even those who could not read understood the story. Everyone was outraged and sought revenge for the Wei family.
Immediately after, an acting crew appeared among the people and performed the General’s Order play. Finally, everyone learned the truth about what had happened in the war three years ago.
Ads by Pubfuture “The Crown Prince is so hateful. General Wei and the others fended off the enemies and the border, but the Crown Prince interfered and schemed to harm the family.”
“What right does the Crown Prince have to hold his title?!”
“Duke Lu and the whole Han family are involved in this incident, too!” “The emperor isn’t innocent either.”
“You’re right! Why did the emperor accuse the Wei family of rebelling?”
Simultaneously, the Imperial Court was in turmoil. No one knew who had caused such an uproar.
Su Binglan had only been in the capital for over a month, yet she had already weaved a net for all who had betrayed the people she loved.
The emperor suddenly fell ill, so his son and King Fan began to fight for the throne. Su Binglan had already delivered a message to Lan Ruozhu, telling him to prepare for war.
As summer approached, the princes from various states sent people to the capital after hearing the news. They visited using the emperor’s name but wanted to seize his position.
The capital was in utter chaos, and the kings began to fight for power. The battle was fierce, resulting in countless dead or severely injured. Then, the rumors among the people became increasingly intense.
Almost all the commoners knew the truth behind the unjust deaths of the Wei family and their army. The Crown Prince’s actions turned the commoners’ and generals’ hearts cold.
Some generals were supposed to protect the Imperial Palace, the emperor, and his sons. However, they no longer wanted to protect such treacherous people.
Although all of Chu Country was in chaos soon after, Lan Ruozhu controlled the situation with thunderous methods.
General Shangguan and Luo Jin’an then appeared. Lan Ruozhu even used several of his caravan forces to restrict the various kings. When summer arrived, Dingzhou had a bumper harvest of grain to feed the soldiers.
Therefore, no one was Lan Ruozhu’s match. Later, his army marched into the capital and took over it. They also occupied various parts of Chu Country. During the hottest period of summer, Lan Ruozhu gained control over the situation.
The commoners were thrilled when they found out Young General Wei Jin’an was still alive. When they realized Lan Ruozhu had recovered from his illness, they knew he would become their emperor.
Ads by Pubfuture Everyone celebrated the good news as if it were a festival. The other kings were no match for Lan Ruozhu, as he had caravans, water shipment routes, and highly competent generals by his side.
Even the emperor and Crown Prince’s armies were no match for the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. Since many of the emperor’s soldiers knew about the emperor and Crown Prince’s evil deeds, the soldiers did not resist Lan Ruozhu’s army.
The emperor’s soldiers even willingly pledged their loyalty to Lan Ruozhu. After all, these soldiers had relatives and hoped for them to live in a peaceful environment.
Everyone knew there would be fewer to no wars in Chu Country when Lan Ruozhu became emperor. After all, the commoners knew about the changes that had occurred in Dingzhou.
The two siblings managed to suppress Chu Country’s internal strife in an extremely short time. The emperor and Crown Prince even became prisoners in the aftermath.
A month after the war, Lan Ruozhu proclaimed himself emperor and conferred his sister, Su Binglan, the title of the country’s princess. He then gave the Su family the duke’s residence.
The country quickly recovered from the war. With Lan Ruozhu’s formidable army protecting the country, its people could finally live peaceful lives. Everyone walked the streets with bright smiles.@@novelbin@@
On that day, a new newspaper issue appeared. The commoners were excited as they queued up to buy newspapers. Although the commoners were frugal, they were willing to spend a single copper per newspaper.
That was because they could learn about the latest political news in Chu Country by reading newspapers.
“Hey, the new issues are out. We better get in line quickly before they sell out!”
“In the last issue, Prince Ruozhu reduced our taxes and exempted the reclaimed land from taxes for the next three years. He even gave us seeds for our land.’
“Those are high-yield seeds for potatoes, sweet potatoes, and wheat.”
“That’s right. I have relatives who live in the prefecture. They grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in the spring. During the summer harvest, one acre of land can produce five to six thousand pounds of potatoes, not to mention the high-yield wheat.
“My relatives produced so much grain that they couldn’t finish everything. Prince Ruozhu even arranged for his people to purchase the extra harvests from the villagers. He even bought them at higher prices.” “Hey, it’s Emperor Ruozhu now, not Prince Ruozhu.”
“I’m so happy that he’s our new emperor. It’s so safe to go out now.”
“l heard Emperor Ruozhu will also be transporting cement to us. Apparently, cement roads are much better than dirt roads. It’s spacious and smooth.”
The commoners excitedly discussed the new changes occurring throughout the country.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an walked along the streets of the capital city. They smiled as they listened to the commoners’ conversations.
Su Binglan said, “Ruozhu has unsealed your family’s manor and wants to return it to you. You can restore your surname, too, Jin’an..”

When the various princes invaded the capital and started the war, Luo Jin’an quickly returned to help Lan Ruozhu. The enemies were no match for Luo Jin’an and the thirty-six stratagems.
Baili Jinghua had also found her parents, and her father, General Baili, helped in the war. They were invincible together with Lan Ruozhu’s generals.
Moreover, Fiery Blue Academy had nurtured a group of outstanding individuals in just a few months. They had performed well and played crucial roles in this war.
After becoming the emperor, Lan Ruozhu gave out titles and rewards to those who helped in the war. He only appointed people based on their merits, and the Imperial Court thrived.
Previously, the Imperial Exams would only occur once every three years. After taking office as emperor, Lan Ruozhu would host the exams once a year. That way, he could select talents much quicker and inject new blood into the court. It also encouraged many students to study hard.
Su Binglan used her outstanding students from Blue Mountain Academy to conduct interviews and edit stories for the newspaper. Whenever a new issue came out, many commoners would queue up to buy it.
Su Binglan could also print newspapers quickly by using her printing factory’s technology. Still, printing thousands of copies each time was not enough. She looked at those queueing up and considered opening even more printing factories. She would also need to expand the newspaper offices.
Luo Jin’an said, “It’s the same whether people know me as Luo Jin’an or Wei
Jin’an. I’m happy as long as I know I’m a member of the Wei family.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan nodded, saying, “Let’s visit your family’s manor and take a look.”
When Lan Ruozhu unsealed the Wei Manor, Su Binglan sent some people over to clean up the weeds and tidy up the place. She also found some surviving Wei family members and returned them to the manor.
Luo Jin’an had not returned to the manor since it was sealed. He was afraid to see the sealed door or even think of his relatives. However, everything became lively again when Lan Ruozhu became the emperor.
The people’s lives were now full of prosperity and enthusiasm. The number of people shopping on the streets increased, and everyone walked around with brilliant smiles. The new policies had brought about such positive changes.
Lan Ruozhu even implemented new policies that were highly beneficial to the people. He reduced their taxes and encouraged land reclamation. Those who joined the army and their families could also enjoy other benefits.
Many of the factories Su Binglan opened prioritized hiring the soldiers’ family members. Moreover, she honored those who had sacrificed their lives to win the war by including their names in the newspapers.
Lan Ruozhu also encouraged merchants to set up factories and hire workers. However, the merchants had to treat their workers with kindness. He then set up report and suggestion boxes everywhere for the commoners to use.
Lan Ruozhu entrusted his guards to collect the suggestions or reports and sort out the contents. He would not let the government officials interfere with the reports, and the guards would ensure the Imperial Court knew the truth.
Lan Ruozhu had effectively ended corruption.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan established and managed Lan Ruozhu’s newspaper office. The latter also sought public opinion and carried out his supervision duties.
Chu Country improved overall but still had many things to do. The commoners knew the emperor’s new policies benefited everyone. Lan Ruozhu had already gained the people’s favor in the past. With these new policies, the people loved him even more.
The people wished for Lan Ruozhu to become the emperor, and he finally did. He even vindicated the families and officials who had been Wffonged in the past. The newspapers continued to report on these matters to show the people the truth.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an could hear the commoners’ conversations as they strolled the streets. Everyone showed their gratitude to the new emperor because he unified the people immediately after taking the throne.
Ads by Pubfuture Since he possessed a mighty army, there would not be any more wars within Chu Country. Everyone knew they no longer had to worry about civil wars, either. The people could now take a breather and live good lives.
Soon, the couple arrived at Wei Manor. Luo Jin’an was in a daze when he saw the unsealed door and guards standing outside as they used to back in the day.
It was as if he had entered a time machine and returned to when the Weis’ residence was in its prime, Luo Jin’an thought the place would be dilapidated, but he saw people walking around in the manor.
‘Everything looks the same as when I was a child!’
It was the first good thing he had seen since returning from the border to his old house.
Su Binglan looked at her husband and said, “Come on, let’s go in and look around.’
She pulled his arm and led him in as she spoke. At that moment, Luo Jin’an felt highly nostalgic. He did not fear war but feared returning to a familiar place without his family.
However, he felt a warmth in his palm when his emotions surged. He then looked beside him and saw his wife. She was now the closest person to his family.
Luo Jin’an smiled, saying, “All right, let’s head in.”
When the couple walked through the door, Luo Jin’an realized the courtyard was the same as when he was a child. The servants there came and went. Some were cleaning, while the others carried trays to the courtyard.
Luo Jin’an trembled, thinking he was hallucinating. Not only were there no weeds anywhere, but the place was also spotless. The flowers in the surroundings were beautiful and well-trimmed, too. Even the old tree bloomed with peaches.
He remembered eating the peaches straight from the tree after returning from the border.
The servants in the courtyard heard the noise and saw Luo Jin’an at the door. “Everyone! Young Master Jin’an has returned!”@@novelbin@@
The old butler and nannies became teary-eyed when they saw Luo Jin’an. The elders could not help but cry. Everyone immediately recognized Luo Jin’an when they saw him.
The elders were thrilled and excited when they discovered that he was still alive..

“Welcome home, Young Master Jin’an.”
Everyone here had lived in the Wei Manor and cherished it very much. They still remembered Luo Jin’an dismissing them from the manor before the fateful war three years ago.
The servants cried for a long time when they heard about what had happened in the war. They thought the whole family had died. Everyone remembered how terrible they felt back then. After all, Wei Manor was their home,@@novelbin@@
Still, no one expected Luo Jin’an to be alive. They were relieved and excited when they heard the news. Most of the servants willingly returned to the manor.
Although some could not return initially due to severe injuries, Su Binglan cured them so that they could return.
The previous emperor had banished some of the Wei family members to slavery. However, Lan Ruozhu vindicated them when he rose to the throne. Su Binglan even returned the surviving members to the manor.
No one would ever dare betray the Wei family again. After all, everyone knew Luo Jin’an was Emperor Ruozhu’s most trusted general and Princess Binglan’s husband.
When Lan Ruozhu rewarded the soldiers according to their achievements, he conferred the title of Duke to Luo Jin’an. Inadvertently, Wei Manor became the duke’s manor.
Everyone loved and respected those who lived in the Wei Manor. That was also because everyone had seen the General’s Order play in a newly built theater at the capital. It was about the young general and the Wei family’s army.
Ads by Pubfuture Many were emotional and learned about the truth of the Wei family after watching the play. Whenever the maids went to buy groceries for the manor, people would greet them with respect.
The remaining Wei family members and those who worked for the family no longer feared walking the streets. People also no longer feared mentioning the Wei family.
Finally, the Wei family’s name was cleared. With that, no one would ever dare to harm the new duke. Still, the servants had grown accustomed to calling him Young Master Jin’an.
Luo Jin’an liked it when people called him that. It was as if he was still the same youth from three years ago and as if his family had never experienced that fateful war.
He did not expect to see his elders, but he greeted them warmly, “Hello again, everyone. Nanny Liu, Nanny Cao, Uncle Zhou, you’re all…”
Luo Jin’an became choked up, and his eyes reddened. “Everyone’s still here. I-I thought you were all dead.”
Although there were many servants, maids, and nannies at the Wei Manor back then, the family did not need that many people. However, Luo Jin’an’s father sympathized with his soldiers and would take in their families.
These people were loyal to the Wei family and considered the manor as their home. To them, Young Master Jin’an was their master and also family.
“It’s good to have you back, Young Master Jin’an.” Everyone looked at him with tears in their eyes, saying what they always did whenever he returned home. It was as if nothing had happened to the family, and Luo Jin’an had only just returned from guarding the border.
A warmth surged through Luo Jin’an’s heart when he saw those familiar faces. He said hoarsely, “It’s so good to see you all again finally.”
Although most of his family was no longer around, he was still excited to see as many familiar faces as possible. Su Binglan said softly, ‘Go, talk to them.”
Luo Jin’an knew his wife had arranged all this. Since Su Binglan had officially become a princess and Luo Jin’an became the Duke of Wei and Great General, everyone had to bow whenever they saw the two.
Ads by Pubfuture Even so, Su Binglan had already told everyone not to kneel or bow when Luo
Jin’an returned. She wanted them to greet and speak to him normally to make him feel at home.
Luo Jin’an realized his wife had told his people to speak to him as they usually did. He wanted to thank her but felt those words were too pale. Instead, he looked at Su Binglan dotingly.
Su Binglan nodded at him encouragingly. He then approached the butler, Mr. Zhou, and the nannies to tell them about his life since the fateful war.
Luo Jin’an had been looking for survivors of his family and the relatives of his soldiers. He had also collected evidence to redeem his family and presented it to Lan Ruozhu.
The latter then presented the evidence to all government officials and told the newspaper office to publish the evidence. Lan Ruozhu wanted everyone to know about the injustice the family faced.
Everyone learned that the emperor wanted to destroy the Wei family’s army because their contributions were too high. They also learned about the Crown Prince colluding with the enemy to harm loyal officials of the family.
Although the emperor and his son thought they had fully dealt with the Wei army, they had forgotten that the dead soldiers had family members. The news sparked outrage among the commoners.
The soldiers were simply defending their country, but the emperor and his son betrayed their compatriots. Fortunately, Lan Ruozhu had taken over as emperor. Everyone felt a little better when they thought about it.
Even so, many Wei family members lost their lives in that incident. It was something everyone found hard to accept or let go of. They regarded the soldiers who had protected them as heroes.
Lan Ruozhu even set up memorial grounds for the fallen soldiers to honor them, naming it Heroes’ Garden. There were massive tombstones in the garden with the names of fallen soldiers.
The commoners would visit Heroes’ Garden to pay their respects to those who had sacrificed their lives for peace. All in all, Lan Ruozhu had become an excellent emperor and earned the people’s love and respect.
Even the government officials loved their new emperor and were loyal to him. Lan Ruozhu had successfully united all of Chu Country. The government officials carried out the decrees and policies that were issued seriously.
Luo Jin’an spent a long while speaking with the elders of the Wei Manor. He felt a sense of familiarity as he looked at them. He was grateful that they were still around.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan silently brought a group of people to the kitchen to help her make dinner. She led everyone in making dumplings. Soon, everyone at the manor would have a sumptuous dinner to welcome new life and hope to the manor..

The maids were stunned when they saw Su Binglan cooking. After all, she was a princess with a noble status, yet she was approachable and smiled warmly. The maids thought Su Binglan resembled a beautiful guardian angel who had descended from heaven.
She had rescued and returned many of them to the Wei Manor. They were grateful to the princess but were also in awe of her. Everyone felt nervous and restrained around her initially.
The maids knew Su Binglan was a good person. They wanted to kneel when Luo Jin’an returned, but she told them to greet him most simply. They knew the princess had done much for their young master.
Moreover, Su Binglan was willing to teach everyone how to make dumplings and other dishes. She differed from Princess Liuwu of the capital. However, Chu Liuvvu prided herself on her status and looked down on commoners.
Chu Liuwu had once told her men to punish and kill someone who had accidentally touched her clothes. She was a cruel princess who died in the war when the various kings invaded the capital. Since she was a horrible person, no one would miss or remember her.
When the maids compared the two princesses, they realized what a good princess was supposed to be like.
Su Binglan even taught the maids how to make spicy crabs and pravvns. She would cook in a massive pot so that everyone could eat their fill. Since summer had arrived, it would be an excellent experience to have a family-style dinner in the courtyard.@@novelbin@@
Su Wenwu had caught, froze, and sealed these shellfish in the south before sending them to the capital. Su Wenwu’s shops in the south did well because of spicy crab and prawn dishes.
“Su Chun, open those boxes and remove the ingredients from inside.”
“Right away, Master.” Su Chun remained by Su Binglan’s side and continued to work for her. She had even become Su Binglan’s right-hand woman, and the other Sacrificials envied her.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Chun followed her master everywhere and learned many things. The former had experienced many sights and eaten countless delicacies.
Although Su Binglan had officially gained the title of princess, her
Jin’an returned. She wanted them to greet and speak to him normally to make enjoyed studying delicacies and opening restaurants for everyone to experience.
Although Lan Ruozhu had unified the country, he and his sister still had many things to do. Besides Dingzhou, there were other places where people did not have enough to eat.
Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu wanted to improve the country’s environment so that the commoners could eat their fill and wear warm clothes. They also wanted to support the elderly and give the children a better education.
Next, Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu would set up schools in various places for children to learn and practice their skills.
Su Chun was stunned when she opened the box and saw what was inside. “Master, what are these?”
After following Su Binglan for a long time, Su Chun welcomed unfamiliar things. She suspected the things in the box were edible since they were in the kitchen.
‘l wonder how we’re supposed to eat these things.’
Su Binglan looked at the box and said, “Those are hairy crabs and prawns. We’ll be making spicy crab and prawn for dinner.”
Su Chun looked at the crustaceans curiously. “So these are hairy crabs, huh?”
She was highly knowledgeable as a trained Sacrificial but had never seen such things before. She was surprised to see so many claws. Still, she knew the food would be delicious.
Su Chun asked, “Should I wash these, Master?”
Ads by Pubfuture Although the maids also wanted to help, they did not know where to start or what to do. They could only continue making the dumplings.
Su Binglan told them that they would be eating dumplings together that night. However, the maids would look at her occasionally, wondering if she would need their help.
After hearing the conversation between Su Binglan and Su Chun and seeing what was in the box, the maids turned pale. The crabs’ shells looked hard, and the maids wondered how they could eat such a thing.
Su Binglan said, “l might cook all the crabs and prawns so everyone can have a taste.”
“These will be delicious, Master.” Su Chun believed she would enjoy the crabs because her master would cook them. If anyone else were to cook these things, Su Chun would be hesitant.
Su Binglan smiled. “You’ll know what they taste like soon enough.”
“I’m looking forward to it, Master.”
Su Binglan explained, “Wash those crabs in clear water while I prepare the onions, ginger, and other seasonings.”
She quickly and discreetly removed the seasonings from her pocket dimension. Afterward, she washed the green onions and ginger before cutting them up for later use.
Since Su Chun was busy washing the hairy crabs and could not light the fire, a servant girl, Xiao Ling, carefully asked, “Your Highness, do we need to start a fire?”
Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, please. Could you handle that for me?”
“Of course, Your Highness.” The more the maids interacted with Su Binglan, the more they liked her. Xiao Ling could not help but want to get close to the princess, even if it meant doing something for her.
Su Binglan nodded. “All right, you can help with the fire then.”
Xiao Ling was thrilled when she heard the princess’s response. The former quickly went to start the fire.
Afterward, Su Binglan poured water into a massive pot and then added the onions, ginger, and cooking wine. She said, “Xiao Ling, increase the fire.” “Right away, Your Highness.” Xiao Ling squatted by the stove and added more firewood.
The other maids grew a little envious as they also wanted to interact with the princess. At that moment, Su Chun finished washing the crabs and said, “Master, I’ve finished cleaning these..”

“Good job. Add half of the crabs to the water once it starts boiling,” Su Binglan said, “Some people might not be able to tolerate spicy food, so they make boiled hairy crabs.”
After some thought, she realized the capital was different from Tenghe Town. The townsfolk had grown accustomed to eating spicy food, but those from the capital had not.
Moreover, the people in the Wei Manor had never eaten spicy food before, so Su Binglan made boiled crabs for them.
After a while, Su Binglan added a portion of crabs to the pot, then added ginger, vinegar, sugar, and the other seasonings. She then stirred them evenly. Later, she opened the pot and fished out the crabs. They could eat the crabs as is, but Su Binglan also prepared a dipping sauce.
Afterward, she prepared to make spicy crabs. She added oil to a pot, then stir-fried some onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili. Soon after, she added the base of the spicy hotpot and stir-fried it with a small fire to produce the fragrance.
At that moment, everyone in the kitchen could smell the aroma.
“Wow, that smells so good!”
“It does, huh.’
“I’ve never smelled anything so delicious before.”
Everyone began to salivate when they smelled the fragrance. It even whetted their appetites. No one expected the princess to be so good at cooking. Her cooking and knife skills were exceptional when she made some stir-fried vegetables.
Ads by Pubfuture She cut the radishes and other vegetables swiftly and precisely. The maids suspected every dish Su Binglan made would taste, look, and smell different. The maids could not help but gulp, excited to try the princess’s dishes.
Su Binglan’s appetite grew as she stir-fried some seasonings. She had not eaten spicy crabs since coming to this world. Fortunately, Su Wenwu had sent over plenty of ingredients.
After a while, Su Binglan added some crab to the pot of stir-fried seasonings.
“Xiao Ling, increase the heat, please.”@@novelbin@@
“Right away, Your Highness.” Xiao Ling added more firewood to the stove to make the flames more intense.
After continuing to stir-fry the ingredients, Su Binglan added ginger and some final seasonings to the pot. After evenly mixing everything, she added salt, sugar, and cooking wine.
Spicy crabs was a relatively simple dish to make, but it required plenty of seasonings. After adding and stir-frying the dried chili until fragrant, the ingredients would carry a hint of spiciness.
The crabs would taste immaculate after seasoning them well. There were also precise steps to adding the seasonings and frying them. Su Binglan also had to watch and control the heat through Xiao Ling.
Su Binglan smiled as she looked at the crab dish change colors. She said, “All right, this dish is complete, so I’ll proceed with making spicy pravvns.” “Master, are the prawns in these boxes?” Su Chun asked. She had once tried fried prawns with Su Binglan. Su Chun never forgot how fragrant and delicious the prawns were.
Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, they are. I’ll teach you all how to devein the prawns. Some of you will continue making the dumplings, while the rest will help me devein the prawns.”
Everyone listened to Su Binglan’s instructions. The maids had cooked in the Wei Manor many times but had never seen crabs or prawns. Even the lady in charge of buying groceries had never seen such things in the market.
However, everyone trusted the princess. Before returning to the Wei Manor, the maids and servants heard of the many legends Su Binglan had achieved. They knew everyone called the princess Miss Su and that she had invented dumplings.
The servants and maids also knew about tofu, stinky tofu, and every other thing the princess had invented. Everyone in the capital knew how delicious these delicacies were.
Ads by Pubfuture People had to queue up at the shops’ entrances early in the morning to get these delicacies. Otherwise, the shops would sell out immediately. Since these delicacies were affordable, many rushed to buy them.
Many wealthy people lived in the capital. Since they knew how delicious these delicacies were, they would send their assistants to buy them regardless of the prices.
Fortunately, each customer could only buy a limited number of servings. That was why even ordinary folk rushed to buy Su Binglan’s delicacies. If the wealthier folk bought everything, the commoners would never get to try them.
Su Binglan took a small prawn and demonstrated her methods to everyone.
“See this vein? Once you pull at the prawn, you’ll see a line appear.”
With everyone working together, they finished deveining all the shrimp in a matter of minutes. Su Binglan then prepared the condiments, saying, “Xiao Ling, you can restart the fire.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Xiao Ling hurried to the stove.
Su Binglan added oil to the hot pot, then added Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon bark, large peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic. Immediately after, she began to stir-fry them.
Then, she added the prawns and cooking wine and mixed them until the color changed. Soon after, she added salt, cumin powder, sugar, bean paste, and other seasonings.
After that, she added an appropriate amount of water and let the prawns simmer. Later, she told Xiao Ling to lower the heat.
Su Binglan had made two big pots of spicy crabs and two more large pots of spicy prawns.
“It smells so good.” The fragrance intoxicated everyone. They were just curious as to how they would eat the prawns and crabs because the shells looked hard.
“Let’s cook the dumplings now, and then we can all eat.”
Everyone was moved when they heard Su Binglan’s words. Although they were servants of the Wei Manor, she did not treat them as such. Instead, she taught them how to cook and eat together.
The group made the dumplings quickly and placed them on several plates. Su Binglan said, “All right, everyone, let’s set up the tables and stools in the courtyard. We can have dinner after that..”

Everyone quickly did as Su Binglan said. Since everyone would be eating together, they needed a long table and many stools. There was strength in numbers, so the maids and servants quickly put the tables together.
In the past, people were grateful even to eat their fill. Now that Su Binglan was here, they looked forward to dinner. When those in the kitchen went to ask for help to set up the tables, everyone gathered to help and could not help but ask about the kitchen.
“What were they cooking in the kitchen? It smells so good.” “Yeah, we could smell several fragrances from the living room.” “The smell made us hungry. Did Her Highness really cook for us?”
“It feels so surreal for us to eat Her Highness’s cooking.”
“We should be the ones serving Her Highness, not the other way around.”
Everyone asked so many questions at once. Mrs. Lin said, “It’s not like you guys don’t know how kind-hearted and generous Her Highness is.”
Not only did Su Binglan not act arrogantly in the kitchen, but she was also approachable. She spoke gently and taught everyone how to make dumplings. The servants and maids did not know how to thank Su Binglan.
Still, they had to admit they loved her. They also wanted to get close to her and interact with her.
“Her Highness’s cooking skills are exceptional. She even taught us to cook. The condiments she used were things we never knew existed. The methods she used are also different from what we usually do.”
“Her Highness even taught us how to control the heat with precision. Her cooking smells lovely. Even we were hungry when we cooked in the kitchen, not to mention you guys.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Her Highness wants to celebrate Young Master Jin’an’s return, so we should all eat together tonight.”
Su Binglan treated everyone at the Wei Manor as one big family. The maids and servants were so happy to hear it that they almost cried. “Hurry, let’s arrange the tables and stools. We’ll be eating soon.”
“Wait, where’s Young Master Jin’an?”@@novelbin@@
“He went to speak to Butler Zhou.”
Luo Jin’an had been talking to Butler Zhou since returning to the manor. The former wanted to understand the manor’s current situation and if anyone needed help.
Luo Jin’an treated his people like family. While he and Butler Zhou spoke in the living room, Luo Jin’an suddenly smelled a rich fragrance. Even Butler Zhou could not help but take a whiff, asking, “What smells so good?”
“Is someone cooking in the kitchen?”
The maids and servants had returned to the manor a few days ago, yet no one had smelled anything so delicious that it whetted one’s appetite.
Luo Jin’an immediately thought of his wife and raised a brow. His gaze softened as he said, “It’s probably time for dinner. Let’s go take a look and see if we can help.”
He knew his wife very well, so he guessed she was the one cooking. If she were indeed cooking, she would make enough food for everyone instead of treating them as lowly servants.
Su Binglan cooked for everyone just as she would for her husband. Luo Jin’an was in a hurry to help his wife for fear she would tire herself out. He rushed toward the kitchen, shocking Butler Zhou.
When Luo Jin’an reached the door, he saw Su Binglan busying herself just as she did back home in Su Teng Village. When Luo Jin’an was home at that time, he would always help out silently.
He would either wash or cut the vegetables or even tend to the fire. Luo Jin’an thought those were simpler days. He felt wa_rm inside when he saw his wife busying herself in the kitchen.
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an thought he would not be able to get used to living in the Wei Manor again. After all, it was no longer as familiar as he once remembered it to be. He feared he would think of his loved ones who had sacrificed themselves. Luo Jin’an did not want those emotions returning, or he would be unable to withstand them. However, he realized his mood was not as heavy as he had imagined. It was as if he could face the current Wei Manor.
He knew it was because his wife was beside him. It was also because she had brought a change to the manor and returned its former vitality. Hence, the people of the manor revealed faint smiles.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan scooped out the dumplings from the pot and placed them on a plate. At that moment, she sensed a passionate gaze and raised her head to look ahead.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Luo Jin’an standing at the kitchen door. “Why are you here, dear?”
Luo Jin’an gazed back at her gently and said, “Everyone’s wondering what smells so good. They’re looking forward to dinner. I thought you’d be in the kitchen. Do you need my help with anything?”
Su Binglan smiled. “It’s okay. We’ve already finished cooking all the dishes. You can eat once I bring these dumplings out. Since it’s summer now, I thought it’d be nice to have dinner in the courtyard under some shade,”
Upon hearing her words, Luo Jin’an went over to help her carry the plates. The couple then went to the courtyard, and Luo Jin’an placed the dumplings on the table.
Everyone felt warm inside when they saw how well Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan got along. The couple looked at each other with profound affection in their eyes. Perhaps some might not understand, but others might.
‘Princess Binglan and Young Master Jin’an have an excellent relationship.’
After some final arrangements, Su Binglan said, “Come on, everyone. Let’s sit down and eat.’
The sun had just set, but the lanterns in the courtyard and those hanging on the trees lit up the place. Although everyone had already sat down, they had never eaten such dishes before, so they did not know how to start eating.
Since the food smelled so good, some could not help but gulp.
When Su Binglan sat down, she explained, “The main dishes are dumplings. Those two dishes are spicy chicken and braised pork. 1 also made sour and spicy shredded potatoes, roast duck, and barbecued skewers.
“Those two are new dishes I made, so they don’t exist anywhere else yet. They’re spicy crab, boiled crab with dipping sauce, and spicy pravvns. I’ll teach you all how to eat those.”
Su Binglan took a hairy crab and then taught everyone what to do. She then pried the shell open to reveal the meat. She scooped it out with a small spoon and fed it to Luo Jin’an..

Luo Jin’an lowered his head and took a bite. Su Binglan looked at him expectantly and asked, “How is it?”
He savored the taste and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Mmm! It’s delicious!”
Although he had eaten many delicacies in Su Teng Village, none tasted like the spicy crab. The others were even more confident that the crabs would be delicious after hearing Luo Jin’an’s praise.
Su Binglan glanced at everyone and said, “Let’s eat, everyone. Just do as I did.”
The others then picked up a spicy crab and began to eat. Everyone was shocked when they took their first bite.
“This is too delicious!”
“Oh, it’s pretty spicy.”
“It’s not too spicy for me. It tastes just right.”
Some could not help but exclaim in admiration. Everyone was excited to eat such delicious food and grew intoxicated by the spiciness. However, some could not tolerate spicy food as their tongues would go numb.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan was happy to see everyone enjoying her food. “If it’s too spicy, you can eat the boiled crab. The spicy prawns beside it aren’t as spicy as the crab. Here, let me show you how to peel and eat the prawns.
Everyone followed Su Binglan’s methods and began eating the prawns.
“It’s so delicious that I think I could cry.”
“I’ve never tasted anything so delicious.”
“Your Highness, you’re simply the god of food. Amazingly, you were able to come up with such a tasty dish.”
The maids and servants were excited to eat something so unique. Su Binglan even told them that she had yet to sell these dishes to the public. It meant that those of the Wei Manor had the privilege of tasting the dishes first.@@novelbin@@
“l also made juice and wine. The wine contains alcohol. Those who can’t tolerate alcohol can try the fruit juice.” Su Binglan then told Su Chun to take the wine and juices from the box.
“Is this the Su family’s wine? We’ve heard much about how high-quality it is.”
“Ah, there’s fruit juice, too? I didn’t expect this. I heard it tastes excellent.” Everyone became excited when they heard about the fruit juice and wine. “l heard we might not even be able to buy this juice elsewhere.”
“Yeah, me too. Apparently, only Dingzhou’s Flower County produces fruit juice. Still, there’s a limited supply.”
“Thank you for everything, Your Highness.”
Su Binglan had prepared plenty of wine and juice for everyone. The maids and servants could drink and eat to their hearts’ content. Even Su Chun was excited when she saw the juice.
Ads by Pubfuture She had not stopped thinking about the fruit juice since she first drank it with her master. Su Chun also thought the canned foods from Flower County were just as delicious.
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife, asking, “You set up a juice factory in Flowe County?”
Previously, Luo Jin’an was busy helping Lan Ruozhu with the war. When the war ended and Lan Ruozhu became the emperor, Luo Jin’an helped him with other things.
Luo Jin’an was only able to chat with Su Binglan after doing all that. However, the couple only talked about the capital. Luo Jin’an knew nothing about the juice factory.
Su Binglan smiled and explained, “I wanted to set up the factory when I visited my mother’s godparents. When I came here, I put my subordinates in charge of building two factories in Flower County. One was a canned foods factory, and the other was for making fruit juice.
“My mother’s godparents are busy planting and harvesting mung beans at home. The others are working at the canned factory, but my subordinates look after the juice factory.
“Canned foods and fruit juices are popular everywhere, especially in Flower County. They’re even struggling to meet the demands. The orders have been backed up for a few months, so I plan to open some factories here to supply the goods to the people directly.”
Su Binglan’s factories had begun sending their goods to all parts of Chu Country. However, the country was vast with a large population, so there were not enough goods. People in the capital could not even buy these things even if they wanted to.
Lan Ruozhu lived in the capital since becoming the emperor. Therefore, Su Binglan planned to open some factories in the villages surrounding the capital. It would also drive development and provide the people in the capital with even better food and drinks.
Although many women and children could not drink alcohol, they could drink fruit juice. Flower County had plenty of apricots and fruits, so it was convenient to make canned food and juice there.
Su Binglan thought she could perhaps organize the villagers there to plant more fruit trees. They could also mine some of the barren land to grow food and fruits.
Su Binglan had not sat still since coming to the capital. Besides taking revenge and helping Lan Ruozhu, she had been studying the capital’s situation.
Ads by Pubfuture There were many people here as well as in the surrounding villages. However, no one was proficient in farming, and there were still many wastelands in the area.
Su Binglan felt she could use some of the hills to grow tea leaves, fruits, and vegetables. Simultaneously, she could use the plains to grow crops and open factories.
After all, the latter would provide job opportunities for the local villagers. If the capital prospered, it would drive Chu Country’s development.
Su Binglan took a box and opened it. She then removed three bottles of fruit juice from it and said, “I brought watermelon juice, peach juice, and apricot juice.”
The factory made the juices according to the methods she had provided. It differed from freshly squeezed juice and had a unique taste. Since it was hot during the summer, drinking cold juice would feel refreshing.
“Have a taste.”
Luo Jin’an took a sip and sighed. “It’s refreshing and quenched my thirst.”
Su Binglan smiled. “I’m also planning to make ice cream and open an ice cream factory. Eating ice cream during summer will cool you down.”
She had no time to make such a thing since Chu Country was just at war. Now that the civil war had ended, she could finally do these things.
“Do you need me to do anything for you?” Luo Jin’an would support his wife in whatever she did.
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “You’re now the Great General and a Duke. Ruozhu wants you to rebuild and reorganize your family’s army. You have many things to tend to, so you can’t worry about things like opening a factory.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make something delicious for you to eat when the time comes.” Her intention was always to cook her best foods for her husband to taste first.
Luo Jin’an smiled lightly and said, “All right.”
Meanwhile, Su Chun opened the wine and juice bottles and placed them on the table. Su Binglan looked at everyone and said, “Eat and drink till your hearts’ content, everyone.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
“You’re too kind to us, Your Highness.”
The maids and servants felt warm inside and could not stop smiling after eating and drinking such delicious things..
