Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

This time, Tang Yu plans to open his own shipyard.

Current shipbuilding technology is not advanced enough. In the future, we will need to equip our ships with various cannons and weapons to ensure safety in maritime trade.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to make a living as a merchant without colluding with officials.

Therefore, to do business in Futing and to open a shipyard for maritime trade, you first need to win over local officials at all levels; otherwise, they have a million ways to destroy you.

Tang Yu hasn't become a local tyrant yet, so he needs to keep a low profile for now, recruit skilled workers first, and then operate discreetly.

After all, the timber needed for shipbuilding takes several years to dry after being cut down. It's not something that can be done immediately; it requires more than five years of accumulation.

However, Tang Yu was very patient. He continued to place orders with the existing shipyards, and his own shipyard would naturally grow into a towering giant within ten years.

Therefore, Tang Yu did not immediately see Song Mo upon her return.

Song Mo quickly received news of Tang Yu's return, and he immediately became angry. This liar was back but didn't come to see him right away!

So, is that woman trying to steal his heart and then dump him? How could that be!

The latest episodes are good in terms of directing and visuals, but the political intrigue is so childish that I want to dig my toes into the ground!

Please, bandits raided the mansion of a marquis or duke in the capital to steal some treasure, set it on fire, caused chaos, and looted, burned, and killed the people! This isn't to say that such things haven't happened in history, but if something like this happens in the capital, no matter what you do—steal treasure or whatever—it's called a rebellion!

The capital city is where the emperor lives! If an emperor discovers that such things happen so easily in the capital—if they can rob a marquis's mansion today, they can rob the palace and kill the emperor the day after tomorrow!

Therefore, the emperor would only confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan of everyone involved—a normal emperor's reaction. However, the heroine's stepmother was unharmed, and her brother-in-law was merely exiled after his property was confiscated. Imagine if this had happened to Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of Han; if such a thing had occurred in their imperial city, those two would have been slaughtered!

So the fact that the female lead let her stepmother go is already a point of contention, but the main issue is that the emperor actually let go of someone who allowed bandits to storm the capital. My God, is this a normal emperor?

If the stepmother hadn't brought the bandits in, would there have been arson, murder, looting, and casualties among the people? And then the female lead had to plead for the stepmother's life, requiring her to kneel and kowtow three times and nine times a day to atone for her sins? Is this what you call torture?

The screenwriter is brain-dead! Don't ordinary people's lives matter?! Forgiving the stepmother? Those dead people, do they even deserve a spit?! The script is completely awful!

Chapter 6 Yuan Shen and Song Mo 6

"Miss, the young marshal has arrived with his personal guards. They've been circling the estate for half an hour now."

Tang Yu set up a formation in the manor, after all, she would hide some weapons and do some secret things.

To avoid trouble, they simply prevented outsiders from entering.

"I know, this person must be angry."

She was gone for a year, and when she returned, she didn't immediately look for Song Mo, but Song Mo was able to find her place right away and knew that she had returned.

This shows that Song Mo has been keeping an eye on her news.

They agreed to meet as soon as she got back, but she didn't even visit Song Mo. She really acted like a heartless woman who slept with someone and then forgot about them.

So, Tang Yu changed his clothes and went directly to the array area outside the manor.

"Young Marshal, Miss Yuan... Miss Yuan!"

Song Mo led Lu Ming and Lu Zheng in circles for half an hour, but no matter which way they went, they always ended up back where they started.

The only clear path is to turn back.

However, Song Mo was unwilling to leave, so he stayed where he was, sulking.

Lu Ming and Lu Zheng, his two subordinates, were too embarrassed to speak, so they just stayed by his side.

It wasn't until Tang Yu suddenly appeared in the mist that the two guards showed expressions of surprise and delight; finally, someone had arrived.

"I've been walking around here like an idiot for over half an hour. Do you think it's fun to toy with me?"

Song Mo stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Tang Yu with a mixture of anger and grievance, his eyes reddening.

Tang Yu's mind was filled with images of Yuan Shen's life, where he was always confident, resourceful, eloquent, and perpetually self-assured.

Seeing the young man's aggrieved and angry expression, Tang Yu suppressed a smile, slowly leaned forward, hooked her arm around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

Her lips lightly kissed Yuan Shen's cheek, with a hint of playfulness and tenderness. Yuan Shen was instantly stunned, his face flushed red with shock, and he stammered angrily.

"Don't think that a kiss will make me forget your broken promise. Are you just teasing me?"

Although the words were tinged with annoyance, the embarrassment diminished their intimidating power.

Tang Yu smiled without saying a word; her smile was as delicate as a blooming peach blossom, and her eyes were alluring.

She immediately turned to Song Mo, stood on tiptoe again, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.

Song Mo was caught completely off guard. How could this woman kiss him again and again? How could he possibly resist?

Lu Zheng and Lu Ming, who were standing to the side, were stunned and exclaimed in surprise.

So exciting!

Song Mo was already flustered by this sudden intimacy, his heartstrings were being plucked and buzzing, and now he was being laughed at by his two guards.

He was both ashamed and angry, and suddenly turned to Lu Zheng and Lu Ming, scolding them.

"Don't look!"

Tang Yu laughed uncontrollably, then had her maid appear and take the two away. Only then did Song Mo feel the blush on her face fade a little.

"Why didn't you see me when you came back?"

Song Mo still harbored resentment over this issue.

“If we agree to meet tomorrow, but then there’s a sudden pirate attack, you’ll definitely have to break your promise. But can you be blamed for that? Of course not.”

I have a lot to take care of now that I'm back. Business matters can't be delayed. Even if you hadn't come to see me, I would have come anyway.

This explanation barely appeased Song Mo's dissatisfaction.

"You said you were only leaving for a few months, but you've been gone for a year! You lied to me again!"

Tang Yu knew the other person's subtext; Song Mo wasn't asking that question at all.

"Anything can be a lie, but the one thing I love is you. We were husband and wife in our past lives, and you are my husband. This is absolutely true!"

Song Mo's aggrieved and cold expression instantly melted away like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

His usually stern face flushed red, his eyes were filled with barely suppressed joy, and his heart suddenly raced.

The tide of emotion surged and overflowed in my heart.

He could no longer restrain himself. His hands, as if on their own, suddenly took a step forward and tightly embraced Tang Yu in front of him. Then, he pressed his lips to hers urgently, with a touch of domineering tenderness.

As they lingered and caressed each other, the kiss grew ever more passionate and intense, as if to release all the longing and affection that had been pent up in their hearts.

When the kiss ended, Song Mo was slightly out of breath, his forehead pressed against Tang Yu's, his gaze intense and focused.

"Have you ever thought about me?"

Tang Yu tilted her head slightly, her jade-like hand gently caressing his eyebrows and eyes, her fingertips tracing the corners of his lips as she softly spoke.

"You're all I dream about."

Upon hearing this, Song Mo was overwhelmed with excitement and without hesitation, he pulled Princess Tang Yu into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness and joy.

“You’re in my dreams too. I dreamt that we got married. You mentioned our past life, but it seems we weren’t so miserable. I felt our wedding was grand and wonderful.”

These words stirred ripples in Tang Yu's heart, and she hooked her arm around Song Mo's neck and chuckled softly.

"you guess?"

Song Mo began to carry the person in his arms into the manor. He was very excited at the moment, and his whole being exuded a sense of high spirits and confidence.

"I bet you were lying to me last time. We were very happy in our past life, weren't we?"

Tang Yu smiled faintly and remained silent, but Song Mo persisted, then lowered his head to kiss her and ask.

"If you don't want to talk, I'm not leaving today!"

"Sure, you can sleep in my room."

Song Mo's eyes were full of tender smiles, and then he lowered his head and gave her another peck kiss.

"I know even if you don't say it, you must have been pursuing me for a long time in your past life."

So I was finally moved by you and married you in the end, right?

Tang Yu tilted her head back and bit the other person.

"Goading me won't work!"

Song Mo smiled with even greater confidence.

"I understand now. It was me who relentlessly pursued you and used every trick in the book to win your heart, wasn't that right?"

Tang Yu insisted on not saying anything, so Song Mo had no choice but to use all his skills to find out.

"Was I really a military general in my past life?"

These words made Tang Yu unable to hold back, and she directly buried her face in Song Mo's chest and laughed. Song Mo then affirmed her words.

"So he wasn't a military general after all."

"Was I a civil official or a merchant in my past life?"

Tang Yu simply buried her head and remained silent. Although she was not as cunning as she was in her previous life, she was still very much present in this one.

But they're all equally clever, and this guy is about to figure them out.

"No, you're definitely not a merchant. With your beauty, if I were an ordinary person, I certainly couldn't protect you! You're a civil official!"

Tang Yu then turned her head and looked at Song Mo speechlessly.

"Couldn't it be princes or nobles?"

Song Mo looked at the person in his arms and thought about it seriously.

"If you were a member of the royal family, you would probably have a lot of concubines. You would probably hate me if you ever saw me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Song Mo, what if they're all fake?"

"Then you can lie to me for the rest of your life!"
