"..."

After knocking on the neighbor's door in the middle of the night and borrowing the newspapers from the past few days, looking at the reports that were more exaggerated than the last, Li Ang, who had no mental preparation, had his defenses broken on the spot.

Good news, I'm getting married soon.

Bad news, I seem to be the last one to know.

"?"

Looking at Li Ang's "caught off guard" appearance, Anna, in confusion, couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Brother? What's wrong with you? Are you not ready yet?"

"..."

Is this me not being ready? This is me not having any chance to prepare at all!

After the corners of his mouth twitched twice, Li Ang couldn't help but say speechlessly:

"Princess... Veronica... How did she tell you? Did she say I agreed to get married next month?"

"Not really..."

From Li Ang's expression, discovering that things seemed to be a little bit different from what she understood, the thin young girl couldn't help but blink, then said with a look of surprise:

"Sister Veronica said that originally she felt the progress was a bit fast, and there have been many big and small things lately, so she hoped to... to date you for a while longer before considering marriage.

But you were very impatient, worried that she might have other plans, so you kept urging and urging, and then this time when you came back from your business trip, you gave her a particularly precious gift, which moved her beyond words...

In short, seeing you so worried, she really had no choice but to agree to your proposal... Hmm... She also said, let me persuade you more when I have time, so you don't have to worry, she only has you in her heart forever."

"..."

After hearing the retelling, which couldn't be said to be different from the truth but couldn't even be said to touch the edge, Li Ang's brain went blank for a moment, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

And noticing that Li Ang's expression was different, Anna couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Brother... did you two quarrel before?"

"..."

We didn't quarrel before, but I really want to find her and quarrel now!

"It's nothing... we just had a small misunderstanding, it'll be fine once we talk it out."

Facing his sister's worried eyes, Li Ang held it in for a while but didn't say anything, instead trying hard to show a kind smile.

"I'm a bit sleepy, I'm going to sleep first, you rest early too."

"Hmm... then you go rest first..."

After looking at Li Ang with concern, Anna, who was relatively gentle in personality except when educating children, didn't continue to ask, but said softly:

"Brother, although... although I haven't been in love, I've heard others say that when two people are together, the most important thing is communication.

Sister Veronica has been too busy lately; every time she comes to find you, she looks exhausted. It's true that there might be some things she didn't do well, but she definitely cares about you. If you have any conflicts, communicate properly, and maybe they can be resolved directly."

"..."

Although, is there a possibility that the biggest conflict between us now is that she set the wedding without communicating with me?

Too embarrassed to say that he had been tricked, Li Ang mumbled a few words, yawned, and entered his bedroom. Then, the moment he closed the door, he climbed out the window without hesitation, crawled down along the building, and ran wildly toward the Wang Gong.

Call to account! Must call to account immediately!

Although... Veronica is not annoying, and in a sense, she is indeed a not-bad candidate for marriage, but to be "tied up" so confusedly is still a bit too strange! This is absolutely not okay!

It's late at night...

After looking at the hour hand on the wall that had already reached 12, the weary-looking lady-in-waiting couldn't help but open her mouth, stole a small yawn, and then continued to force herself to stay awake, handing the documents to be signed to Princess Veronica.

"Your Highness, this is the budget sheet returned by the Ministry of Finance.

They believe that the kingdom's finances are tight recently, and directly approving the construction of a new park is too expensive. They should disperse some of the scholars and workers from the Kroke Kingdom directly into the kingdom's existing factory system. If so..."

"If so, it would be equivalent to making wedding clothes for them."

Taking the budget sheet from the lady-in-waiting, writing a receipt with uncivilized wording, Princess Veronica raised her hand to summon the attendant on the other side, and ordered calmly:

"Help me draft a reply, saying that the kingdom's existing industrial system is difficult to connect with the technology and processes of the Kroke Kingdom. Doing so, although it can save expenses, will dismantle the original high-efficiency industrial model of the Kroke Kingdom.

In addition, dispersing the talents of the Kroke Kingdom is also not conducive to the kingdom digesting the newly acquired technology. After all, the core of industrial development is always scale and... Forget it, don't write a reply, just draft an order directly; you remember the general meaning."

After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Princess Veronica slowed down her speaking speed and dictated:

"According to the new bill recently passed by the Upper House, the Ministry of Finance, in the absence of proof that the proposal has major flaws, should cooperate with the operation of the proposal first and raise questions again after verification. Before this, they must not return the budget I proposed without reason.

This kind of rejection behavior, which completely violates the spirit of the new bill, not only slows down the time required for the kingdom's development but also deliberately increases internal friction, which is a crime against the kingdom and even all the citizens. Therefore, I want to reprimand the Budget Bureau of the Ministry of Finance..."

Using relatively elegant language to express her meaning of "If you can do it, do it; if you can't, get out," Princess Veronica handed the document with the reply to the lady-in-waiting, then demanded:

"After that, you should help me look at the documents sent by the Ministry of Finance more. If it's still this kind of relying on the power in their hands to want to strip benefits from the kingdom, return it directly and refuse, then handle it according to today's method.

If similar situations occur continuously, then don't hesitate. While returning it and refusing, send letters to both the Inspection and Audit departments directly, requesting an investigation into the person... Are there any other documents to be signed?"

"Yes!"

After writing down Princess Veronica's instructions, the lady-in-waiting hurriedly handed over another document that had already been prepared, then introduced:

"This is a letter sent by the Northern Kingdom, they want to send the former king's sister to attend your and Prince Li Ang's wedding."

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing the words "wedding" and "Li Ang," Princess Veronica's expression couldn't help but soften slightly, then quickly became tough again, and she refused:

"Reply and refuse! If the Northern Kingdom wants to come, only envoys at the level of the Minister of Foreign Affairs are allowed to attend; those with higher diplomatic levels are refused entry!"
