Revenue to the Xishan province. In addition, there have been direct grants of two million four hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. How much tax does the Great Qin Empire collect in a year How...Chapter 161 I Hate You

Her body pressed tightly against Li Chen's, a young man brimming with vitality. Her back was covered by the man's palm, and Jin Xueyuan's pretty face was flushed crimson.

That day, the unsightly scene in the restaurant flashed through her mind. Jin Xueyuan was furious and struggled desperately, "You, you let me go!"

Li Chen hugged Jin Xueyuan tightly.

He chuckled softly: "Women really do change their faces faster than turning pages. We agreed this was a transaction, and you consented. Now that I've completed my end of the deal, you want to back out"

Jin Xueyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. How could there be such a shameless person in the world

"You, you didn't succeed that day!"

To clarify the truth, Jin Xueyuan had to bring up that unbearable day...

"Are you saying that if you eat today, you won't need to eat tomorrow"

Li Chen said boldly, "I haven't said it many times."

Jin Xueyuan couldn't accept it.

She felt that every word Li Chen spoke was pushing her understanding of the four words "shameless and thick-skinned" to new limits.

"See, young master has done things for you. This matter is settled, just once, you'll benefit for life. But what about young master Isn't this a loss for me"

Jin Xueyuan couldn't bear it anymore, she shoved Li Chen hard and gritted her teeth: "You, you talk nonsense! I won't listen!"

"Suit yourself. Whether you listen or not, this is plain as day. There's no way I'd swallow this loss and just let it go." Li Chen smirked.

Jin Xueyuan's pretty face flushed red. She glared angrily, "Let me go! Or else, or else I'll call for help!"

"Here we go again."

Li Chen held Jin Xueyuan tightly in his arms, his hands finding her smooth and soft body. The touch instantly ignited the fire that had been suppressed for days within Li Chen's heart.

Over the past few days, ever since Zhang He suggested that Li Chen should exercise some restraint, Li Chen has not proactively sought out trouble.

With all the things going on lately and the added pressure, Li Chen hasn't had much time or desire to look for a woman.

Even Zhao Rui was ignored for several days.

Not to mention harassing the Empress in the harem.

Now, touching Jin Xueyuan, the most primitive comfort and tenderness of that woman's body, made Li Chen feel as if the pressure weighing on his heart had found a release.

His breath grew heavy, Li Chen leaned close to Jin Xueyuan's ear and said, "This young master can have the Crown Prince host a banquet, and I can also have the names of the envoys from Xian Chao removed from this invitation list. Would you like to try"

Jin Xueyan's struggle suddenly froze.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and a sour feeling welled up in the corners of her eyes and nose. When she spoke, her voice was choked with sobs and trembled, "You... you're just like rape!"

"This young master doesn't care."

As Yi flipped over, pinning Jin Xueyuan beneath him, Li Chen's nose was touching hers, their eyes locking in a gaze closer than they had ever shared before.

"This world is chaotic, with demons running rampant. This young master has too many things to worry about, it's simply not convenient."

But you, are an exception.

Jin Xueyuan's breathing was rapid.

She could feel the heat radiating from the man's body, growing hotter by the second.

She dared not look into Li Chen's eyes, those that seemed to hold an abyss. An abyss that felt like it could swallow her soul whole.ice, "I leave this to you."Wu Ban Shan nodded and stood up.He turned around, looking at the four generals who had been secretly watching him, and calmly said, "Come here."Outside the big tent, persona...
