Li Chen smiled and glanced at Su Jinpa, saying, "Haven't figured it out yet"

Su Jinpa glared at Li Chen, snorted softly, but didn't say anything about refusing to marry you.

She knew that if she said such things in front of her father, she would surely get a scolding later.

Su Zhen Ting might be doting on his youngest daughter, but when it's time to discipline her, he never holds back.

"Your Highness, I still have some official duties to attend to. I shall take my leave now. You are free to do as you please."

Su Zhen Ting was like a well-oiled machine, finding any excuse to slip away and leave time and space for the Crown Prince and his own daughter.

Su Zheting was so agreeable, of course Li Chen wouldn't refuse.

"General, please go ahead. This palace will treat this place as home." Li Chen smiled.

An elderly man and a young one looked at each other and smiled. Only Su Jinpa pouted, clearly unhappy.

After Su Zhen Ting left, Li Chen walked forward with his hands behind his back. After a few steps, he saw that Su Jin Pa hadn't followed up and said, "What Do you want this palace to lead you"

Su Jin blushed and said angrily, "I'm not a cow, I don't need you to lead me."

Though he said so, Su Jinpa knew that if she didn't go along with him, he might really take liberties with her in front of all the servants... Although it was just holding hands, in an era where men and women were strictly separated, even couples wouldn't be embarrassed to do so in public. They could only be intimate in private.

It's really pathetic that these lowly servants of mine, those spineless wretches, could be bought off with a little bit of money from Li Chen... Truly pathetic!

You are certainly not a bull, but you have the same stubborn temperament as one and love to get stuck on trivial matters.

Li Chen casually said, "It's a simple truth that anyone can understand. You just can't see it, are you still so stubborn"

Su Jinpa let out a soft hum and said, "Everyone is chasing fame and fortune, seeking a life of wealth and honor. I just want things to go smoothly. Wealth and honor are like smoke and clouds to me."

"That's what you say now that you're rich and powerful."

Li Chen said faintly, "I'll discuss it with your father later and ask him to send you out of the General's Mansion. Throw you into an unfamiliar environment where you don't have any connections, and without giving you money or this luxurious life, I bet you wouldn't last three days before begging to come back home."

Su Jinpa angrily said, "I have hands and feet, I can earn my own living, don't you look down on people from the crack of your door."

"With so many people with hands and feet outside, why do disasters continue, and poverty persist"

Li Chen's rhetorical question left Su Jinpa stunned.

"That's because they are lazy. If they were just diligent enough, finding food wouldn't be a problem," she retorted angrily.

"You're making things too simple."

Li Chen said: "You have hands and feet, but can these hands and feet farm or weave Forget about farming, you probably can't even lift a hoe. As for weaving, it requires silk thread and silkworms, which cost money to buy. Even if I gave it to you, nowadays laborers are cheap and worthless. You work hard all day and only earn two copper coins, not enough to buy even a steamed bun for a day's meal."

Only through experience can one truly understand despair, otherwise it is merely armchair theorizing.

Su Jinpa sneered, "You talk as if you've experienced it yourself."

"Me"

Li Chen was momentarily dazed, remembering his past life, and then smiled: "I've actually experienced that."

Su Jinpa stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't believe you."

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and said, "If you don't believe me, don't believe me. Anyway, I didn't lie to you."Liao State ruler, Yelü Manhuang, among them.
