Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1621 - 1620: Finding a Way to Compensate

Tong Sanlang heard the order and immediately responded affirmatively.

He was wrong. He, Qiao Xiaomai, and Tong Tiehu were all wrong. They had completely underestimated the gravity of the situation, thinking that simply divorcing Zhu Hongyun would suffice.

They had overlooked Princess Ailiusha’s royal status. Zhu Hongyun had also overlooked Princess Ailiusha’s royal status. The group of them had made a tremendous mistake.

Returning from Yang Wenxiao’s residence, Tong Sanlang told Qiao Xiaomai about Yang Wenxiao’s decision.

After listening, Qiao Xiaomai’s face was similarly filled with regret. She had only been focused on making amends with Ailiusha earlier and had entirely ignored this aspect!

"What should we do then?" She looked at Tong Sanlang with a troubled expression. "How can we make it up to Ailiusha?"

"Should we visit her in person?" Tong Sanlang pressed his lips together. "Apologies of this nature should be delivered face-to-face."

"I’ll speak with the Retired Emperor right away." Qiao Xiaomai said as she put down the kitchen knife and ran toward the kitchen door.

Tong Sanlang thought about it but didn’t stop her. The two of them went together to Yang Wenxiao’s residence.

Yang Wenxiao, hearing her suggestion, rejected it without a second thought. "What’s the point of going back? The deed is already done."

"Face-to-face apologies seem more sincere," Qiao Xiaomai explained.

"What sincerity? It’s just a few words. Let’s leave it at that for now. When you both contribute more in the future attack on Yuchi Country, that will suffice." Yang Wenxiao waved them off, urging them to hurry back and prepare lunch.

It was already midday, and there was no sign of lunch yet.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang exchanged glances and walked away in silence.

As soon as they left Yang Wenxiao’s courtyard, Qiao Xiaomai said, "The attack on Yuchi Country hasn’t even begun yet."

"I think Ailiusha is clearly in love with Shen Bai. Why don’t we plead with the Retired Emperor to release Shen Bai?"

After all, Ailiusha is a princess of a nation. It would be impossible for her to marry a prisoner.

Shen Bai was currently imprisoned in the rear courtyard of the manor, unable to take even a single step freely.

"How do we plead?" Tong Sanlang was tempted by the idea but sighed when pondering the specifics.

The difficulty was simply too high.

Even when Shen Bai had improved the Papermaking Technique last time, Yang Wenxiao hadn’t relented. The two of them didn’t have enough influence for this.

"This can’t be rushed. Let’s think about it slowly," Qiao Xiaomai said, also feeling troubled as she considered the details. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Unable to find a good opportunity to plead with Yang Wenxiao, Qiao Xiaomai expressed her endless apologies in a letter. She sent Ailiusha a physical copy of *Journey to the West*, along with its merchandise and shadow puppets, hoping these would help cheer her up.

Right now, *Journey to the West* was the most popular thing in the Capital City. Qiao Xiaomai also thought about inviting Ailiusha to return to the Capital City to experience the atmosphere in person. However, knowing that Ailiusha would refuse to return alone, she could only send these items back instead.

Additionally, she sought out some top-quality antiquities and paintings to send to Ailiusha. Shen Bai liked these kinds of things, so if Shen Bai was happy, Ailiusha might be happy too, right?

Of course, all these gestures were far from enough to make up for the shock Ailiusha had suffered. Qiao Xiaomai then approached Yang Hao, hoping that he could get involved.

Yang Hao had always felt guilty toward Shen Bai. When he confirmed that Ailiusha truly had feelings for Shen Bai, he was momentarily stunned.

This matter came as a total surprise to him.

"Your Highness, even you can’t persuade the Retired Emperor to change his decision?" Qiao Xiaomai asked.

Hearing this, Yang Hao gave a bitter smile. "No, I’ve already pleaded several times before."

He then asked, "Princess Ailiusha is infatuated with Shen Bai, but what about Shen Bai?"

It couldn’t just be that Ailiusha liked Shen Bai—Shen Bai would have to like Ailiusha as well.

"That’s unclear at the moment. But even if Shen Bai does like Ailiusha, he probably wouldn’t show it, would he? Under his circumstances, how could he express such feelings?" Qiao Xiaomai said.

This was the blunt truth. Hearing it, Yang Hao pressed his lips together. "Let’s wait until Yuchi Country is defeated, then."
