My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 561 - 359 The Left Prime Minister’s Speculation_2

Old Mrs. Song held their hands and gently patted them, speaking with heartfelt sincerity: "As long as you can be harmonious as husband and wife, and united as sisters, it's better than anything else..."

Seeing Li Nuo holding Jiaren's hand in his left and Master Sister's hand in his right, Song Ning'er was surprised and opened her mouth wide, looking up at her mother and asking: "Is Master Sister also going to marry Brother Li Nuo?"

Mrs. Songwang gently touched her head and smiled: "Your Yiren sister was promised to Brother Li Nuo when she was very young."

Song Ning'er thought for a moment and then asked: "Can I and Mumu marry the same person in the future?"

Song Hao, with a dark face, said: "No way!"

Song Ning'er asked with confusion: "Why not?"

Song Hao snorted and said: "If he's not the Sixt Subjects' Scholar, he is not worthy to marry my two daughters!"

Song Ning'er thought carefully and then asked: "Brother Li Nuo is the Sixt Subjects' Scholar, so when I grow up, can I marry Brother Li Nuo?"

Song Hao was anxious and immediately said: "Of course not!"

Song Ning'er pouted, puffed up with anger: "Why..."

Brother Li Nuo was not only good-looking but also played the piano and painted, and he even accompanied her to play house. Why couldn't she marry him?

Song Hao angrily said: "I said no, it's no! You're only eight, children shouldn't ask so much. Talk about marriage again when you turn eighteen!"

Song Ning'er was very unhappy, pouting and saying nothing.

Song Yu was very envious of Li Nuo. His brother-in-law could marry whoever he wanted, even if Jiaren and Yiren both married him, the family had no objections.

But his father disagreed with his and Yuan Yang's situation no matter what.

After lunch today, Li Nuo was invited to the room by Song Yu.

Song Yu held his wrist, begging: "Brother-in-law, please help persuade my father. If he doesn't agree with my and Yuan Yang's matter, I won't marry anyone in my life..."

Li Nuo showed a difficult expression, saying: "Well..."

Actually, Phoenix had also mentioned this matter to him.

Song Yu and Yuan Yang could be said to be perfectly matched, but even though Song Yu was not the legitimate eldest son of the Song Family, Yuan Yang's status was hard to accept for a name like Song Family.

This belonged to the Song Family's affairs, Li Nuo shouldn't interfere.

But seeing Song Yu's pleading eyes, he couldn't refuse.

Song Lian was reading in the room, hearing the knock, thinking the young rebel had come to bother him again. Upon looking up, he immediately stood up and smiled: "Li Nuo, why have you come, please sit..."

After Li Nuo sat down, the two chatted casually, and then Li Nuo cupped a fist and said: "Thank you, Second Uncle, for agreeing to my and Yiren's matter."

Song Lian smiled and said: "For what you both wish willingly, as elders, what reason do we have to oppose?"

Li Nuo paused, then spoke again: "Actually, Song Yu asked me to come over. He just told me, if he can't marry Yuan Yang, he won't marry anyone in his life..."

Song Lian was taken aback. He wouldn't contradict what he just said.

He remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "That little rascal used to be unambitious, but after knowing this Yuan Yang, he learned military books just to have things to talk with her, who knows what's good about that girl, even took his soul away..."

He looked at Li Nuo and asked: "You and Phoenix..."

Li Nuo said: "We, cough..."

Song Lian's face showed a knowing expression and relaxed, saying: "Forget it, whoever he marries, it's his own choice, as long as he doesn't regret it in the future."

Listening outside the door, Song Yu immediately ran in happily after hearing this and said: "Thank you, Dad!"

From Second Uncle's reaction, even if Li Nuo didn't speak for Song Yu, he would eventually agree.

Back at Ningxin Garden, he first told Phoenix about it.

"That's great!"

Phoenix hugged his arm and said with a smile: "Yuan Yang will surely be very happy when she knows!"

Feeling the full pressure on his arm, Li Nuo couldn't help but glance down.

Phoenix's face flushed and immediately let go of his hand, saying: "I'll go find Yiren!"

Watching her frantic running away, Li Nuo couldn't help but sigh. Phoenix seemed the most open among them, but in fact, she was even more shy than Yiren.

This contrast between appearance and inner character was quite interesting.

A few days ago when Li Nuo talked about marriage with her, Phoenix had no particular demand, just said to wait until Yiren formally enters the family.

The wedding with Yiren would be held next year anyway.

Li Nuo had already planned to take the opportunity to hold a wedding in Zhao Country while on an inspection tour.

Having left Zhao Country so long, how was the Empress doing there?

As Li Nuo pondered, the Vast Qi within him suddenly increased several times.

After returning to Daxia, although his Legalism cultivation didn't increase much, his Confucian cultivation grew visibly every day.

On one hand, his cultivation was shallow, and even small changes in cultivation were noticeable.

On the other hand, whether he reformed Agricultural School, Military, Mohist, or conducted various reforms, as long as the goal was for the people, it could simultaneously advance Confucian cultivation.

Just a moment ago, his Confucian cultivation had quietly broken through to the Third Realm.

This meant that he had done something that should already have shown significant effects.

Secretariat.

On Left Prime Minister's desk were piles of memorials.

These memorials were submitted from various prefectures.

In the past, when the court wanted to reform taxes, the local officials didn't cooperate at all, mostly hiding their lands to avoid court inspection.

But this time, before the tax reform regulations were formally issued, local officials voluntarily submitted memorials, pledging their surplus lands to be public fields in response to the court's call.

The food produced by public fields all belonged to the National Treasury.

Landlords in those regions also followed suit, donating large amounts of land.

These contents of tax reform had been attempted by the court before, the same contents all failed previously, yet this time it went smoothly, even without court supervision, they voluntarily cooperated.

Li Nuo's words were once again verified.

Any reform inevitably involves bloodshed and sacrifice.

When he wielded the Imperial Sword, appointed as the Imperial Censor, those stubborn local officials immediately empathized with court's difficulties.

However, the concessions of these officials and landlords couldn't fundamentally solve the problem of the people being landless.

Most of the land was in the hands of several Great Families.

But at least, amid repeated failures, he saw a glimmer of hope...

He slowly raised his head, realizing something belatedly.

The court's recent various reforms succeeded smoothly, unlike before when each step faced obstacles, due to two crucial reasons.

The nobles who could intervene in the court's affairs were all gone.

The forces of various Great Families, especially the once most prosperous Wang family, were also diminished in court.

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, his usually calm heart trembled slightly.

Ministry of Justice.

Si Minister's Office.

Li Xuanjing stood in the government office, left hand behind him, right hand holding a "Medical Manual", when a figure walked in from outside and said: "Sir, Left Prime Minister is here."

Just as he spoke, another figure already stepped into the office.

Left Prime Minister glanced at the young man and said: "You leave first."

The young man looked at Li Xuanjing, Li Xuanjing nodded slightly.

The young man slowly exited, Li Xuanjing put down the book and cupped fists towards Left Prime Minister, saying: "What brings Left Prime Minister here today?"

Left Prime Minister didn't speak, as Li Xuanjing cupped his fists, he suddenly extended his hand and grasped Li Xuanjing's wrist.

A thread of Vast Qi traveled from his hand into Li Xuanjing's body.

This thread of Vast Qi entered his body like mud falling into the sea, without any response.

Left Prime Minister withdrew his hand, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.

Did he guess wrong...
