Love Your Husband

Part 261 - 270

What's more, he had only lived a few years of good life, and he had not forgotten the hard days he had spent in the Tao family.

Imagine if the Tao family he had worked so hard to support was destroyed by a flood, and his only food and the 169 copper coins he had saved up with great difficulty were all gone. He would really want to die.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can we donate food and clothing to the people in the disaster area?"

"…Not for now. We won't take the spotlight."

Li Qiao shook her head.

He is just a small fifth-rank official. If he donated, would other officials donate as well?

If other officials followed suit and donated, they would most likely blame him for it.

"Can this be considered showing off?" Tao Zhu pursed his lips and frowned.

"Yeah, after all, we are no longer ordinary people."

Li Qiao patted his back gently and said, "Don't think about these things. It will only cause you more trouble. What did you do today?"

"…I played scooter with Xiao Rui at home today."

Tao Zhu spoke in a low voice, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but bury his cheek in Li Qiao's neck.

The people in the disaster area are suffering. He played on the zipline for a long time today. The difference between sadness and joy is too great. He is too embarrassed to mention it to Li Qiao at the moment.

Li Qiao understood his thoughts, smiled and patted him on the back again: "This world is full of suffering. If we keep focusing on suffering, then we won't be able to live like this."

"You play your own games, we have our own lives to live."

"Hmm..." Tao Zhu responded in a whisper, his lips still pursed. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but say, "We really shouldn't be in the spotlight. Can you go to His Majesty and quietly donate food and clothing?"

"No, food and clothing would make too much noise. How about donating silver notes directly? That would make less noise. We don't need the emperor to praise us publicly. How about you just give the silver notes to the emperor quietly?"

Li Qiao: “…”

"How's it going?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Tao Zhu urged him.

"I will ask His Majesty tomorrow." Li Qiao said immediately.

This behavior is... stupid.

It's really stupid.

This world belongs to Sheng Hong, not to them, so there is no need for them to act like thieves when doing good deeds.

But Tao Zhu like this made him feel soft-hearted and wanted to hug him tightly.

His Zhu Ge'er is so kind.

The next afternoon, Li Qiao went to the palace to ask to see Sheng Hong.

After becoming a fifth-rank official, if he wanted to enter the palace to see Sheng Hong, he could hand over a name card. If Sheng Hong was willing to see him, then he could see Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong is a man of swift and decisive actions. He issued an imperial decree last night, ordering the third and fifth princes to set off for the disaster area overnight to preside over the local disaster relief work.

Sheng Hong's decree was beyond everyone's expectations. No one had expected that he would send both princes out.

The third prince and the fifth prince did not expect this, but the imperial edict had already been issued, so they hurriedly packed their luggage and rushed to the disaster area.
