During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

In the room, Song Liyun looked sick. Even though she had put on makeup, she could not hide the haggardness on her face. She always had a cold face when facing Sun Debao, who was asking for help.

Chun Ke looked at Sun Debao's face and said hurriedly: "Master Sun, my girl's throat has been injured due to the cold. I'm afraid she won't be able to speak for the past two days."

Sun Debao's face actually improved a little after hearing this, "It doesn't matter why you hurt your throat. I have some throat clearing and soothing medicine at home. I'll send it to you later."

Song Liyun took a sip of tea with a cold expression, and Sun Debao frowned slightly.

Chun Ke wanted to say something else, but Song Liyun had already glanced at him coldly.

"I came to you today because I want your help with something. I told you in advance that this matter may be dangerous and may even involve you, but it is definitely not life-threatening."

It was obviously asking for help, but Song Liyun didn't have the slightest consciousness of asking for help.

He still speaks in a condescending manner and doesn't take anyone else seriously.

Upon hearing this, Sun Debao's face became a little colder. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a slow sip. When he looked at Song Liyun again, his face no longer had the previous flattery.

"Say it." He said in a businesslike manner.

Although Song Liyun felt something was wrong, he didn't think much about it, or even bothered to think about it.

"The emperor sent many people to Jiangnan to deal with the officialdom and salt tax, which has made people in Jiangnan panic. Several major changes have also caused heavy losses to us families."

Sun Debao couldn't help but frown, "So, you want me to go against the court?"

Song Liyun had the urge to rush out of the house. They couldn't talk to each other at all. Even if Luo Jingce made a few casual remarks to her, he would understand what she meant, but Sun Debao didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

Song Liyun took a deep breath and said in what he thought was a friendly tone: "I'm not that stupid yet. Qingzhou and Lianzhou have successively produced a large amount of salt, and the advantage of Jiangnan is gone."

"Right now, we just want to protect our interests. Of course we can't go against the court openly, but we must do something in private. Otherwise, if the court succeeds, there will probably be no place for us in this world."

Seeing that he was disapproving, Song Liyun continued.

"You will soon become the son-in-law of our Song family. There is no reason for you to ignore the Song family's affairs, right?"

Sun Debao raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Liyun seriously.

Seeing that there was no trace of affection or joy in her eyebrows, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Song Liyun didn't like him and didn't even want to marry him. She went out with him today probably to get him to take action against the court.

Sun Debao felt a little uncomfortable.

His dignified young master of the Sun family is not someone else's lackey or tool.

"The foundation of our Sun family is not in Jiangnan. If we want to take action, wouldn't it be more appropriate for someone from Jiangnan to take action?"

"It would have been more appropriate for us to take action in the past, but the people in the court were cunning. They actually sent the Cui family's young master there with them. If we take action like this, we are afraid that we will also hurt the Cui family's young master, and there will inevitably be a meeting. Offend the Cui family."

So, in her heart, the young master of the Cui family is more important than him, right?

She would rather hug an unrelated young man from an aristocratic family than ignore him?
Song Liyun, is this the upbringing of your Song family?
Song Liyun and Sun Debao analyzed the pros and cons of this matter, and she believed that Sun Debao would be on her side.

It is not easy to marry the legitimate daughter of the Song family. How can you do it without paying any price?

The more Song Liyun calmly analyzed the situation, the more uncomfortable Sun Debao felt, while Chun Ke was anxious on the side.

"Didn't you say before Miss came that you had a gift for Mr. Sun?" Song Liyun frowned slightly. When did she say that she would give him a gift? But when she saw Chun Ke's wink and Sun Debao's expectant expression, she wanted to say The words were swallowed back.

Chunke found a black velvet box and took out a calligraphy treasure from it.

"This is a gift that my young lady specially selected for Master Sun. It is good Hui ink. I wonder if Master Sun likes it."

Sun Debao couldn't help but wipe his hands, and took it as if it were a treasure. It was indeed fine Hui ink.

"It cost you money."

Song Liyun was slightly unhappy, feeling that Sun Debao was a petty person. This was just a small Hui Mo. With the Sun family's family background, couldn't they afford it?
Or is he saying that he is pretending to be poor on purpose?
"As long as you like it."

Sun Debao really liked it and quickly asked someone to put it away. When he looked at Song Liyun again, his eyes were filled with joy.

"This is the first time I have received a gift from you. I have always given you gifts before."

"Why are you angry that I didn't give you a gift?"

"How could it be? It's just a bit unexpected."

There is still some doubt.

Even normal people should understand the rules of courtesy, but he went to the Song family so many times and gave so many gifts. Every time, only Patriarch Song received him, and all the gifts he received in return were prepared by the concierge.

Several times, the gifts he received in return turned out to be exactly the same. At first glance, it was a gift specially prepared by the family for the guests who came to the door.

Song Liyun sounded a little impatient, "You accepted the gift too. How have you considered the things I asked you to consider?"

Not to mention Sun Debao, even Chun Ke felt that what the young lady said was a bit too unpleasant and too utilitarian.

How could anyone make a request for a gift just after giving it, and not in a begging manner? This is not the usual behavior of young ladies.

She thought that even if the young lady didn't like Master Sun, she would at least behave like a noble daughter of a noble family.

Sun Debao's face turned cold as expected, and he said with a smile, "After all, we are going against the imperial court. Our Sun family doesn't have as many people as your Song family, so I'm afraid it won't have much impact."

Song Liyun tapped the table vigorously, "You don't need to do anything. I just need you to find a way to get rid of this person."

As he spoke, he dipped his hands in the water in the teacup and wrote two words on the table.

Sun Debao stood up in fright, "You are crazy, you actually want to attack him. He is the queen's brother and your Majesty's minister. If he dies, not a single aristocratic family in Jiangnan will be able to escape."

The two people who were eavesdropping couldn't help but straighten up. Lan Shui looked at Jiang Miao very worriedly and whispered: "Mother, please be careful, there is still a child in your belly."

Jiang Miao subconsciously pressed her belly, barely suppressing the anger in her heart.

She could hold it back, but Luo Huanhuan couldn't.

"What does she want to do?"

Jiang Miao calmed down first and booed Luo Huanhuan.
