The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang later returned home with Li Shouhua and met Wang Kang together.

Wang Kang also blamed Wang Gang for putting himself in danger, but fortunately, the news of Li Shouhua's pregnancy was in front of her, so Wang Kang was quickly distracted.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?" Wang Kang accused Li Shouhua with a smile on her face.

"Now that you are pregnant, please don't run around. I will arrange two experienced maids to take care of you."

"Mom, I saw a doctor. He said the baby is healthy and my pulse is strong, so I might be pregnant with a son." Li Shouhua stroked her belly, feeling very happy.

"You have to be careful though. Giving birth has always been a dangerous thing for women. It shouldn't be taken lightly."

Wang Kang looked at Wang Gang again and said, "From now on, you and Shouhua will sleep in separate rooms."

Wang Gang was speechless and said, "Mom, we will be careful. There is no need to separate the rooms!"

Wang Kang rolled her eyes and said, "What do you know? You've never given birth."

Wang Gang and Li Shouhua knew what Wang Kang was worried about, but it was not easy to point it out to avoid embarrassment.

Li Shouhua also told Wang Kangshi about Li Leshan.

As a mother-in-law, Wang Kang naturally would not object to her son taking a concubine. She even thought that it would be a good story for the two sisters to marry Wang Gang together.

"It just so happens that Shouhua is pregnant, so Leshan can take care of Ganger." Wang Kang turned around and told Wang Gang:
"Remember this, when Leshan marries you, she will be treated the same as Shouhua. Don't treat her badly."

"Mom, don't worry! I'm not the kind of person who favors one over the other."

It's not like Wang Gang hasn't enjoyed the blessing of having two wives. He knows better than anyone how these two wives can live in peace with each other.

What's more, Li Shouhua and Li Leshan are sisters from the same father and mother, so there shouldn't be any unrest in the family in the future.

At night, Li Shouhua still sent Wang Gang to the study to sleep, even though Wang Gang repeatedly promised not to touch Li Shouhua. However, Wang Kang arranged two maids to come and guard against Wang Gang like a thief.

Now that Wang Kang has a grandson, her sons have to stand aside.

The next day, Wang Gang went to Kaifeng Prefecture to meet with Shen Huizhao. He originally wanted to discuss how to try Yu Weiyi, but he did not expect that Yu Weiyi committed suicide in prison last night out of fear of punishment.

Wang Gang looked at Yu Weiyi's body and determined that he had committed suicide by hanging, not murder, and could not find any suspicious points.

In this regard, Wang Gang could only say that Yu Weiyi was ruthless enough. He knew that he was doomed, but the complicated network of relationships behind him was too deep. If he didn't do it himself, there would always be someone who would do it for him. It would be better for him to just die quickly.

After Yu Weiyi's death, the emperor had no way of investigating further. If they really caught Yu Weiyi and his accomplices, I'm afraid there would be a great shock in the court.

For this reason, Empress Dowager Liu personally went to the emperor, explained his seriousness, and asked him to stop.

The emperor was a young boy, so naturally he acted on impulse, but with Empress Dowager Liu keeping him under pressure, he could do nothing about it.

As soon as Wang Gang got the news, he wrote a letter to his father, asking him to resign. Whoever wanted to reorganize the Jiangnan salt business could do so. If the situation continued, the Wang family would surely be destroyed.

Since ancient times, the salt tax has been a heavy burden. Whoever touches it will be in trouble. Unless one gets the emperor's desperate support, no one will end up well.

It’s a pity that the current young emperor has the Empress Dowager Liu above him and has not yet taken power, so he naturally does not have the ability to manage the salt business!
After receiving Wang Gang's letter, Wang's father hesitated for a long time before finally listening to the advice and writing to the government to resign on the grounds of poor health.

The emperor did not force him and agreed to transfer the king's father back to the capital. He also promoted him and arranged a sinecure for him to retire.

Wang's father quickly returned to Bianjing by water to reunite with his wife and children, and met his daughter-in-law Li Shouhua for the first time. Wang Gang and Li Shouhua got married before, but Wang's father was not there. This time Wang Gang married Li Leshan, and Wang's father was able to preside over the wedding.

Although it was a concubine, the Wang family did not neglect Li Leshan. They held a grand wedding ceremony according to the standards for marrying a wife and welcomed her into the house in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

As the elder sister and the legal wife, Li Shouhua would certainly not make things difficult for her younger sister, and the wedding went very smoothly.

After marriage, because Li Shouhua was pregnant, Wang Gang basically slept with Li Leshan. Li Shouhua never felt jealous and continued to serve her husband wholeheartedly and respect her parents-in-law.

While enjoying the happiness of having two wives, Wang Gang was promoted to the position of magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture. He was successful in both his career and love life.

On the Li family side, with Li Fan's return and Li Leshan's marriage, Mrs. Li's only concern was the marriage of her fourth daughter Li Haode.

Originally, Madam Li had her eyes on Du Yangxi, but unfortunately Li Haode was not interested. Also, Du Yangxi took part in the palace examination and won the third place, becoming the most sought-after bachelor in the city of Bianjing.

If the emperor had neither a sister nor a daughter, Du Yangxi could even have become a royal consort.

Du Yangxi was a bit arrogant, and after he became rich he never came to thank Madam Li, which made her unhappy, and the marriage fell through.

Later, Madam Li took a fancy to Sang Yanrang. Although he was not as outstanding as Du Yangxi, he also passed the imperial examination and had a bright future.

When Sang Yanrang was in trouble, Madam Li also provided help. The two families were familiar with each other. Apart from being a bit nerdy, Sang Yanrang was a good person at heart.

Madam Li asked Li Haode what he thought, but it turned out that Li Haode didn't like Sang Yanrang either, which made Madam Li a little angry and felt that her daughter was too picky.

Later, it was Li Shouhua who discovered the problem. Li Haode didn't like this one or that one, and it was obvious that he had someone he liked!

The five sisters of the Li family gathered together and interrogated Li Haode, and finally got a name from her.

Shen Huizhao!
When Wang Gang found out, he was also quite surprised that Li Haode would choose Shen Huizhao, the ice cube!
You have to know that Shen Huizhao has always had a cold face towards everyone, and looks very businesslike. Not to mention humor, he doesn't even smile.

It just so happened that Li Haode fell in love with Shen Huizhao, and Li Shouhua even asked Wang Gang to sound out Shen Huizhao.

Wang Gang didn't want to get involved in his wife's sister's affairs, but he couldn't stand the pillow talk of his two wives, so he went to talk to Shen Huizhao.

As a result, Shen Huizhao had no intention of getting married and was completely focused on his career.

After Wang Gang asked around, he learned that Shen Huizhao was so upset because of her sister's murder that she had decided not to marry or have children.

It turned out that Shen Huizhao offended too many people because of his ruthless and impartial handling of cases, and his sister was killed in revenge. From then on, he decided to become a monk so as not to implicate others.

After Wang Gang told Li Haode the reason why Shen Huizhao did not marry, it did not make her back off. Instead, it made her feel sympathy for her.

Later, Li Haode finally got her wish and married into the Shen family. However, it took a long time for Shen Huizhao's iceberg to melt, and Wang Gang did not help much.

Li Shouhua later gave birth to a son for Wang Gang. Before the child was even a month old, Li Leshan found out she was pregnant again, which made Wang Kangshi very happy.

Wang Gang lived a comfortable life with his wife and children for more than ten years. After he was promoted to the third rank, he resigned on the grounds of poor health and moved to the south with his wife and children to settle down.

In the following hundred years, the Wang family produced scholars from generation to generation and gradually formed a large family. Until the second year of the Jing Kang period, the situation changed and dragons and snakes emerged from the land. The Wang family took advantage of the situation to rise and held the emperor hostage to control the disobedients. After three generations, they recovered the lost territory and finally won the world!

But by then Wang Gang had been gone for decades! (End of this chapter)
