If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 239 She's Not Worried



Chapter 239 She's Not Worried

Lu Yuan listened to Shen Sui'an's words calmly.

He held her face and looked at it for a moment, "Does it hurt?"

Hearing the deep heartache in his tone, Shen Suian pursed her lips, smiled, and kissed him on the chin.

"I'm fine." Shen Sui'an's eyes sparkled. "Empress Yao just wanted to test me. She must know that I used the princess to deal with Song Xiuzhi."

As a mother, Concubine Yao must have felt heartbroken when she saw Guangning suffer such an experience.

The fact that she was still willing to negotiate terms with me proved that she no longer doubted me.

"I will check the people around Yongning." Lu Yuan said.

Shen Sui'an shook his head, "I have thought of a way to test it. When I need it, I will ask for your help."

Lu Yuan rubbed her head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The couple went out hand in hand to digest the food. Shen Sui'an took Lu Yuan's arm and said, "Husband, in another six months, I will be eighteen years old."

"You've grown a lot taller." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an glanced at him and said, "My grandmother and mother asked me a few days ago why I hadn't gotten pregnant for so long."

"Are you...wanting to be a mother?" Lu Yuan tilted his head to look at him, his dark eyes fixed on her.

"No." Shen Sui'an's cheeks flushed and she shook off his hand.

Lu Yuan held her in his arms and pecked her lips a few times, "Yes, I want to."

He lowered his eyes to look at her features. Compared to when she first got married, she was now even more charming.

"Sui Sui, it's not easy for a woman to give birth, and you were too young before." Lu Yuan whispered, "Then let's have a baby after the New Year."

Shen Sui'an was even more embarrassed by what he said, "Let's go back to the room. I...I still need to look at the rouge formula."

Lu Yuan laughed muffledly, his chest shaking slightly.

"Still laughing." Shen Suian patted him on the chest.

The couple had a night of pleasure.

The next day, Shen Sui'an planned to go to Huarong Pavilion, but before he left the house, he was asked by the maid of the Shen family to go back to her parents' home.

The one who was looking for her was Mrs. Shen Er.

"Your second uncle came back last night and told me something. If it weren't for the curfew, I would have sent someone to find you immediately." Mrs. Shen said.

Jiang sat aside holding her son, her eyes full of sorrow.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that you bought Hengshui Ship Village, and the Bai family also wants to buy it. Recently, the eldest son of the Bai family has been bribing officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works everywhere, just to get the Maritime Special Camp."

"I originally gave a gift to your second uncle, but he refused."

"He wants the Ministry of Revenue to directly assign the special shipping camp to the Bai family."

Shen Suian's face turned cold. He wanted to block her way and force her to hand over Datantun.

"Sui Sui, what should we do? Does you need your grandfather to help you with this matter?" Jiang asked hurriedly.

"Although the old man has retired, I still think he can have a say."

Mrs. Shen nodded. "Yes, just tell me what needs to be done, and I'll ask your uncle to clear the way as well."

A warm feeling flowed through Shen Sui'an's heart.

"Mother, Second Aunt, the reopening of shipping has just been announced, and the court has not yet come up with a set of rules. It may not be a good thing for Bai Shaojie to try to smooth things over at this time."

"Since my grandfather has retired, don't let him worry about my affairs."

Jiang was worried, "Then do you have a way to solve it? You can't let the Bai family bully you like this."

"He can't bully me." Shen Sui'an said.

"Your Lu Yuan can't just watch you being bullied. We are worrying about nothing." Jiang said.

Shen Sui'an coquettishly hugged her hand and said, "Why are you worrying about nothing? Mother and Second Aunt care about me, that's why they care so much about my affairs."

In fact, she was not worried at all that Bai Shaojie would be able to get the Special Shipping Battalion.

In the previous life, Mrs. Lu did not conspire with Song Xiuzhi to kidnap Princess Guangning, so the Bai family had a chance to revive.

What now?

Imperial Concubine Yao is still holding her breath, sparing Madam Lu and the Bai family from being killed directly. Perhaps she is still waiting for the right opportunity.

Bai Shaojie even dared to jump around and ask for shipping privileges.

He is dreaming!

Even if Concubine Yao did not give her the shipping privileges, she would not give them to Bai Shaojie.

However, she couldn't tell this to her family, so she could only watch Bai Shaojie laugh in secret.

I'm sure the Emperor will also know what Concubine Yao has found out.

Shen Sui'an had lunch with Old Madam Shen at her mother's house, and then went to Huarong Pavilion.

"Madam, something happened at Hengshui Datantun." Shi Qing strode over, gasping for breath and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Shen Sui'an asked in a deep voice.

Shi Qing: "The Shui family's patriarch brought other people to surround Dachuantun and asked Master Shui to share the dock with them."

Shen Sui'an laughed angrily.

It was exactly what she expected.

Bai Shaojie could only resort to this despicable trick.

"Shi Qing, go to Tianhe City with Fuqiu and report directly to the authorities. Let the officials take the official documents and handle the matter."

"The Shui family is heartless and treacherous. They bullied the orphans and widows for their own benefit. Now they want to do it again. How can an honest person be bullied all the time?"

"Madam, I understand. Let someone beat him up first, and then let the government handle the matter." Fuqiu said seriously.

Shen Sui'an: "..."

Did she say that?

There was chaos outside the gate of Hengshui Datantun.

The chief of the water tribe stood at the front, with his back straight and holding the stand, pointing at Shui Yanze with one hand.

"Nephew, you sold the Shui family's ancestral property without permission. This is a great act of treason. Hengshui Shipton is not just your shipyard, it belongs to all of us. You must get our consent before you can sell it."

Shui Yanze still had the wooden stick in his hand, and behind him was only Manager Huang.

The other side has more people and is more arrogant.

Just like forcing his mother to produce the land deeds and house deeds.

"It was clearly written in black and white back then. Hengshui Datantun is mine now. If you have any problems, you can go and report to the authorities." Shui Yanze's face was grim.

In his eyes, these so-called tribesmen in front of him were no better than strangers.

"You are just a young boy, what qualifications do you have to manage the family business?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Whether I'm qualified or not is none of your business." Shui Yanze snorted.

"Chief, there's no need to waste time talking to him. Let's go in and occupy the dock."

"Yes, go in, this is our Shui family's territory."

The water tribe leader cried out, "Everyone calm down, stay calm."

Although he said this, he actually moved away, allowing his tribesmen to rush in.

Butler Huang was quick-witted and pulled Shui Yanze away.

"Mr. Shui, don't block it."

"Help, help!"

The water family members rushed in and ran out again screaming.

A group of boatmen followed behind him, each holding a wooden stick in his hand, and beat these water family members until their heads were covered with bruises.

The head of the Shui tribe was furious, "Shui Yanze, you dare to hit your elders."

"The soldiers are coming, sir, please save us." Someone saw the government soldiers in the distance and hurried to ask for help.

Dozens of people, including the chief of the water tribe, were taken to the government.

Shui Yanze took out the document from that year, which had not only the fingerprints and signatures of the Shui tribe leader, but also the signatures of other members of the tribe.

In black and white, there were thirty fingerprints in total.

Hengshui Datantun belongs to Shui Yanze.
