Chapter 278 One step too late
She had been confined for the past few days, and a great deal of anger had been building up inside her.
Now, we must take this opportunity to settle scores with Shen Aoning.
Making her marry someone else would certainly not make things easy for Shen Aoning.
This is one of the advantages of being the matriarch of the household; she can arrange her marriage at will.
Without Shen Aoning's knowledge, she found her the second young master of the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.
This second young master is an idiot, with the intelligence of a six-year-old.
Now he is almost thirty years old and still unmarried. The Lady of the Marquis is extremely anxious. She looks down on those of low social status and dislikes those of equal social standing who have the intelligence of a six-year-old. Therefore, he has not married yet.
Meanwhile, Madam Shen discussed with Madam Hou about marrying Shen Aoning to him.
By the time Shen Aoning learned of this, both families had already exchanged formal invitations, and it was too late to back out.
Shen Aoning was not the type to sit idly by and wait for her fate. She secretly bribed the old woman who was guarding her and slipped away from the Shen residence.
Of course she didn't run away; after all, in this era, she couldn't escape anywhere without a travel permit.
Moreover, it was a marriage arranged in Pingyuan Prefecture; how could a woman like her possibly escape?
The reason she slipped out at this critical juncture was naturally to secure her own survival.
The only one who can stop this marriage now is the current regent, Jiang Xinyi!
She still has a trump card up her sleeve; let's see if he can catch it!

Everyone who read this story was shocked when they saw the plot unfold!
"An explosive charge! Its effective killing power can reach about twenty or thirty meters!"
"I'm a little confused. What's this 'fire cannon'? What's this 'bird cannon'? And what about the 'red barbarian cannon'?!"
"Isn't Shen Aoning a doctor? How come she knows so many theories about weapons?"
"Have you forgotten? I mentioned before that she was a military doctor in the modern era! These things should be available in the military."
"Judging from her tone, these weapons seem to be considered relatively outdated in her time. I'm starting to wonder if there really are this many weapons in the future?"
This collection of stories greatly impressed these ancient people.
"This storybook actually openly describes how to make weapons? Aren't they afraid that someone with malicious intent might actually make them?"
Ye Yuwu said that if someone could actually do that, she would definitely give that person a thumbs up.
Why do you say that?
Although Ye Yuwu wrote down these production methods in great detail, they were ultimately all found through a search system.
In reality, she couldn't guarantee whether she could create it using the methods found by the search system.
That's why she wrote all these details in the storybook without any restraint.
If someone in the general public can actually make it, they'll be considered a talented individual.
However, if someone actually manages to create it, without anyone else's intervention, the imperial court would probably not let it remain outside, but rather bring it into the court for the use of the Jin Kingdom.
"Do you really believe that these weapons can be made? This is just fiction, without any research. It's all just theoretical and imagined."
Everyone has finished reading this volume of the storybook. Although the storybook is still being serialized, everyone's enthusiasm for discussion has not diminished but increased after reading it.
"Yes, I don't quite believe it either. These weapons are so powerful. If they can really be made, then the strength of Jin Kingdom will be greatly enhanced!"
How could Mr. Wuming dare to write something like that in a storybook? And in such detail, it certainly can't be true. I think everyone should just treat it as entertainment; weapons aren't something that can be made casually.”
In fact, all this nonsense is just to express their skepticism about the production methods described in Mr. Wuming's stories.
They did indeed admire Mr. Wuming, and believed that the stories he had written before had indeed brought about significant changes and transformations to the country of Jin.
However, regarding military affairs and weapons, they maintained a relatively objective attitude, believing that the stories written in the novel were all fantastical.
It's not something you can actually make just because you write it down in a book.
"If everything written in the storybooks is true, then ignorance would be an incredibly terrifying existence," someone suddenly exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, everyone around fell silent; the silence was eerily profound.
They all understood that it was not just a terrifying existence, it was an absolutely horrifying one.
Wuming will likely become someone that all countries will try to curry favor with and plunder!
The entire imperial court was in an uproar just a few days after the book was published.
The Grand Tutor rushed into the palace, carrying a storybook.
Unexpectedly, I encountered several old guys along the way, all of whom looked like they were in a hurry.
When their eyes met, they knew that the other person shared the same purpose for their trip.
Even so, none of them gave way to the others, and they ran even faster than before they entered the palace.
The group ran faster than rabbits, hoping to seize this opportunity to be the first to report to His Majesty.
You would never guess that this group of people are on average in their fifties or sixties.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Before even entering the Imperial Study, one could hear these fellows outside the hall constantly calling for the Emperor.
Several people rushed into the hall.
The competition between the Grand Tutor and the Grand Preceptor was particularly fierce.
At this moment, they noticed that the Grand Tutor was sitting quietly beside His Majesty.
Taibao leisurely sipped his tea from the cup beside the table, raised his head and raised the teacup in his hand as if to greet them.
The Grand Tutor and his men gritted their teeth.
I realized I was still a step too late.
To them, Taibao's greeting was seen as a provocation.
She could only pretend not to see him greet her, and instead glared at him.
Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor Zhao never expected that their rivalry would actually benefit Grand Protector Zhao!
Now that we have come before His Majesty, we must first pay our respects to him.
When they stood up, the emperor had naturally already learned of the news.
In fact, there was no need for Taibao to come to the palace to report to the emperor; the emperor himself had already seen the contents of the storybook in advance.
Indeed, even the emperor had developed the habit of reading every novel by nameless authors.
I feel uncomfortable if I don't read it. Who would have thought that after milk tea and cola, the emperor would fall in love with storybooks!
"I know the purpose of your visit. My dear ministers, please be patient and take your seats. This matter still needs to wait for someone."
"Waiting for someone? Your Majesty, please forgive my boldness, but who are we waiting for?" Almost all the core officials of the court are here, so who are we waiting for?
The Grand Tutor couldn't understand it and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, he is an important figure in our mission."
The important figures, several ministers, exchanged glances.
The important person Your Majesty mentioned, could it be...?
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Just then, a noise came from the door of the Imperial Study, and a familiar figure slowly walked in.
She bowed to His Majesty.
"Minister Ye, please rise!"
