When Miss Wang heard what Changsun Pingting said, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that after such a long time of preparation, they still couldn't sleep on the same bed in the end.
Miss Wang also knew what was going on. It turned out that when the Changsun family was seeking development, the major families joined forces to strangle them. It was because of Li Shimin represented by Changsun Wuji that they could not allow the Changfeng family to develop. But they did not expect that the situation would change so quickly. In just a few years, the major families had become powerless, and instead the Changsun family began to emerge.
Some people have already started saying in society that although the Changsun family's share in the business is relatively small, their development momentum is relatively fast. In the next few years, they will definitely grow into a presence similar to the major families. The major families are slowly declining, while they are growing rapidly. With this trend, it is only a matter of time before they surpass the major families.
"Then elder sister will go to rest first, and younger sister should also rest early."
Miss Wang is a person who knows when to advance and when to retreat. Changsun Pingting has already asked you to leave. If you continue to stay here, it will not be of any benefit to you or your family.
Li Xiang was observing all this in secret. In fact, Li Xiang didn't care about the people from the major families now. It would be better if you continued to decline. In this state, in two years you won't even have the strength to resist. Unexpectedly, the major families also saw it, so they prepared to save themselves.
"You all should go down too! We won't keep anyone here at night."
Although Changsun Pingting knew that Li Xiang had not arrived yet, she believed Li Xiang's words before he left and ordered all his men to go down, with the closest one being more than ten feet away.
After everyone left, the window was opened. Changsun Pingting looked back and saw Li Xiang standing right next to her.
"Fortunately, Miss Wang left on her own. If she hadn't left, I would have knocked her out."
As Li Xiang spoke, he picked up Changsun Pingting's teacup and drank the tea in it. When he put down the teacup, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed.
"Why did you blow out the candle?"
Li Xiang said with some surprise.
"I like this feeling. It won't be awkward."
After Changsun Pingting said this, Li Xiang felt that it was indeed different. In the dark, Li Xiang could feel more at ease. If the light in the room was too bright, it would be a bit awkward for the two of them to sit facing each other. At this moment, Changsun Pingting had already taken the initiative to move into Li Xiang's arms. This was not the case when the candles were lit just now.
"The people in the major families have also sensed this. If this continues, their decline will accelerate. During the time I've been outside the city, the eldest daughters of various families have come to chat with me, and each of them considers themselves close friends. In the early years, we had no relationship at all, but now even the smallest things are repeated over and over again. It really annoys me to death."
Changsun Pingting said worriedly that she lived outside the city for peace and quiet, but who knew these people would follow her out. Changsun Pingting couldn't help but see these people. After all, she was the head of the Changsun family's business. If she didn't see these people, then causing trouble would be no small matter.
"They just want to meet with me. You can arrange it. I'll meet with them to save you from their emotionless torture every day. Actually, there's no point in meeting them. These people just won't give up. We were originally in an opposing state. Do I think I can let them come on board just by meeting and having a meal?"
Li Xiang said angrily that he would never be lenient towards these aristocratic families. You were not lenient towards us in the past. If he was lenient towards you now, it would be a kind of forgetfulness of history.
What's more, if the major families continue to exist, they will themselves be a form of political instability. They not only have their own advantages in a certain aspect, but also have their own advantages in all aspects of society. Even the court's decrees may be blocked. Therefore, such major families cannot appear in society at all, which will cause unrest across the country.
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Changsun Pingting felt as happy as if she had eaten honey. She thought Li Xiang would not meet these people, but she did not expect that in order to make himself live more comfortably, Li Xiang actually agreed to meet these people. Li Xiang's time is very precious. From the moment he returned to Chang'an City to the moment he left, almost every hour and every minute has been arranged. He can take time out to meet these useless people. If it is not for himself, then for whom?
When a woman falls in love, everything she sees as right when she looks at her ideal husband. In fact, this is just a sentence for Li Xiang. No matter how busy he is, he can still find the opportunity to have this meal. But in the eyes of Changsun Pingting, Li Xiang's sacrifice is really great.
Li Xiang wanted to say something else, but unfortunately he couldn't speak anymore. Changsun Pingting was right. When the main fire went out, the room was dark. Changsun Pingting didn't have to worry about the reserve of a young lady. She could do whatever she wanted. She felt so comfortable in front of her man.
With a beautiful woman in his arms and it being late at night, Li Xiang was not a gentleman, so he did what he had to do.
At dawn the next day, Changsun Pingting's maid was already at the door, about to come in to clean. Fortunately, Changsun Pingting woke up at this time and asked these people to wait outside first. If these people came in, even if they were Changsun Pingting's close maids, they would all have to be killed. Not letting them in was also sparing their lives.
"It's really hard to live in secret like this."
When Li Xiang was dressed, Changsun Pingting suddenly said this.
"Don't worry, it won't take long. I will build a manor specifically for this purpose and fill it with reliable people. I guarantee that not a single rumor will get out."
Li Xiang said very confidently that the people under Changsun Pingting could not be fully trusted, but the system soldiers under Li Xiang could be trusted, and there were also some women among them. Li Xiang could recruit those people back. It might cause certain difficulties on various fronts, but other people could also fill in.
"Better be careful. I'm just complaining."
Changsun Pingting shook her head. She didn't quite believe that the people around Li Xiang were so reliable.
