Chapter 509: So Embarrassing

Xie Ling stood on the high tower.

In the night, he watched as cart after cart of gold and silver were pulled inside.

A crazed light flashed in the depths of his eyes at this moment!

This time, he was going to pull off something big!

The situation in Jinghua was already chaotic enough. The Crown Prince, Xie Fang, sat firmly in the Eastern Palace and simply would not step out. If he wanted to shake the Crown Prince's position, he could only find a Method on the periphery!

Liangzhou!

He had to take Liangzhou, and not just because the Geography of Liangzhou was too important!

Furthermore, the Liangzhou of today was a place everyone envied. Wealthy, possessing incomparably powerful industrial capabilities, and an Arsenal that made everyone green with envy! The wealthiest place in the entire world had to be Liangzhou!

Once he took Liangzhou, he would have the greatest confidence and the capital to drive straight into Jinghua!

Therefore, for this battle, he was burning his bridges and fighting to the death!

The wealth that was continuously being concentrated here was almost the entire tax revenue of Longyan for one year. These people were also those who wanted to bet on Xie Ling during this time of succession and power transition.

If he wins.

He will live in luxury.

If he loses.

They will all go to the Factory to work...

"Your Highness, all the gold and silver have been transported here, totaling twenty million taels of gold..."

Yang Xiao still could not help but gasp when he mentioned this number.

This was almost the wealth of the entire Jiangnan and Jiangdong regions!

Xie Ling's eyes lit up as he heard this: "Good, good, good! This time, I will make that Governor Liu wish he were dead!"

His eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth: "Three days from now, launch the all-out attack!"

"Yes!"

While Xie Ling was filled with excitement.

Liu Zheng was also feeling uneasy.

Could this move of his win the heart of Xie Chan? He did not know; he truly did not know.

Forget it!

Just do it!

He picked up paper and pen.

Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch.

He wrote it down.

Then he looked at it, and Liu Zheng's old face could not help but turn red. Would this be too explicit? No, no, change it!

Another attempt.

Then, it was torn up by him again.

Good heavens...

Would this sentence be too awkward?

Try again!

After several attempts.

He was covered in sweat.

It took a full hour before he finally finished writing one.

He smiled with satisfaction, though in his heart, he was still feeling anxious.

Will this work?

Can it get the job done?

Once this thing is sent over, how will he be able to face Xie Chan in the future?

Forget it!

You have to strike while the iron is hot when wooing a girl!

"This brat, this brat, he's really not coming over, is he!"

When Feng Sanniang finished her meal, she was furious.

At this moment, she was more irritable than anyone.

Don't you know how long Xie Chan has been waiting for you!

At a time like this, if you don't come over, when do you plan to come!

"Chan'er, let's not worry about him, dear, let's not worry about him!"

Seeing that Xie Chan was so angry she couldn't eat, Feng Sanniang felt a pang of heartache. By this time, she had already come to view Xie Chan as her own daughter-in-law.

Xie Chan smiled lightly, unconcerned: "Madam, don't overthink it. Whether he comes or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"Oh my!"

Feng Sanniang was so anxious.

Just at this moment, the door was opened.

Both women were startled at the same time.

Only when they saw that the person coming in was the big fat man Liu Dahao did they heave a sigh of relief.

Feng Sanniang had been lamenting her son's misfortune and his failure to live up to expectations, and having been startled by Liu Dahao, she immediately glared at him: "What are you doing? Can't you knock on the door?"

Liu Dahao gave a cheeky grin: "My lady, my lady, it's here, it's here!"

"What's here?"

Both women looked over at the same time.

Liu Dahao laughed happily: "Zheng's gift is here! I was wondering why the lad hadn't come over yet; turns out he was just being shy! Haha, he gets that personality from me, definitely from me!"

The corners of both women's mouths twitched simultaneously.

Are you sure he gets it from you?

Xie Chan, in particular, let out a snort of laughter. How could she not see that? Usually, when you are with your lady, you are always compliant and fawning, even sycophantic; there is not a hint of shyness in you.

But regardless...

Xie Chan suddenly thought to herself, this family is truly interesting... If she were to marry into this family, she would surely be very happy every day, right?

Bah!

Why was she thinking about that again!

She was still angry at the Prefect Liu!

However...

She still couldn't help but look at the sandalwood box in Liu Dahao's hands, yet she didn't want to admit that she was very expectant and very curious. For a moment, her charming appearance left both Liu Dahao and Feng Sanniang stunned.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and say, what is the gift! Ahem, let me tell you, an ordinary gift won't fool my Chan'er!"

Feng Sanniang put on a show and even asked Xie Chan a question.

Xie Chan nodded heavily in agreement.

Exactly!

Liu Dahao chuckled: "The gift our son prepared must be something good!"

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box.

Instantly.

That exquisite mirror appeared before the two women.

Feng Sanniang was impatient and asked curiously: "What is this..."

When she picked up the mirror and caught sight of herself in it unexpectedly, she was directly startled: "A ghost!"

The mirror slipped from her hands.

Liu Dahao hurriedly caught it in a panic.

"My lady, my lady, this is a mirror, a mirror!"

"What on earth is that?"

Feng Sanniang took it again to look, and her face instantly turned green.

She saw that in the silvery-white mirror, the face of a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair, a pale complexion, unkempt appearance, and super greasy hair was staring right at her.

She didn't believe it!

This wasn't her!

This wasn't a mirror!

She blinked her eyes.

The woman in the mirror also blinked her eyes.

She twisted her mouth.

The woman in the mirror also twisted her mouth.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The next moment, Feng Sanniang acted like she had gone mad, shoved the mirror to Xie Chan, and went off to the side to groom herself, muttering all the while, that's not me, that's not me! You stinky brat!

Liu Dahao endured the twitching of his mouth.

Xie Chan was also caught between laughter and tears.

A mirror?

Just looking at the exterior, she knew a lot of thought had gone into this mirror; she gave a gentle smile and picked it up.

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared clearly inside the mirror.

"This..."

Xie Chan was instantly struck by its beauty.

Is this a mirror?

Why was her own reflection in this mirror so clear? As long as one is a woman, whether in ancient times or modern, who doesn't love beauty? Who doesn't love looking at their own beautiful self? At this moment, this was exactly how Xie Chan felt.

Having grown up in the Dayuan Imperial Palace, she was no longer surprised by bronze mirrors.

Yet, in all her years, this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful, such a clear mirror. It was as if even the pores on her face could be seen clearly.

Is this...

Something Prefect Liu invented specifically for her?

A sense of sweetness welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Then.

She saw a letter next to the mirror.

Filled with anticipation and shyness, she opened the letter.

"Have you gained weight again recently?"

Upon reading this, Xie Chan let out an "ah."

Bad person!

Was this what he meant by giving her a mirror? To let her see if she had gained weight?

She looked at herself in the mirror carefully, there was clearly nothing!

Then, the letter was unfolded.

"Is there not? Then why is it that in my heart, your weight is becoming heavier and heavier?"

Xie Chan was stunned right on the spot.

She blinked her eyes.

"Ah!"

The next moment, she was already covering her face with both hands.

He...

How could he say such things out loud!

It's so embarrassing!

She felt that from her cheeks to her earlobes, everything was burning hot.

A moment later.

She finally opened her eyes, not even daring to look at Liu Dahao beside her.

She lowered her head in shy embarrassment, fidgeting bashfully.

Her voice was like a mosquito's hum...

"L-Lord, is there only this one? Are there any more..."
