Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1622 - 1621: The Sweet Potatoes Are Ripe
Chapter 1622: Chapter 1621: The Sweet Potatoes Are Ripe
After eliminating Yuchi Country, Yang Hao could only offer such a promise for now.
He was the crown prince, the future heir of Daqi, and since he put it this way, Qiao Xiaomai naturally had no other means.
The only thing she could do was to make a significant achievement, then use this merit to exchange benefits for Ailiusa.
Achieve merit?
This task was even more difficult.
Right now, there was no war, so it was too difficult to achieve merit.
Especially since Yang Wenxiao was particularly stingy, and at this point, Tong Sanlang was still just a baron, the lowest among all titles.
Soon, time slipped away in Qiao Xiaomai’s predicament as she received a reply from Ailiusa.
Ailiusa did not blame Qiao Xiaomai; it was her own carelessness. When she went to the manor, Yang Wenxiao had palace maids attend to her. After deciding to reside at the manor permanently, she sent these palace maids back to the Capital City, deciding there was no reason for them to suffer in the countryside with her.
Thus, even as a princess, her stay at the manor was like that of a rural peasant woman, and Zhu Hongyun dared to lay hands on her because of this.
If she had maintained her princess air, always surrounded by attendants and aloof, Zhu Hongyun wouldn’t have dared to act against her, even if she were bold as a leopard.
Furthermore, Zhu Hongyun’s madness had nothing to do with Qiao Xiaomai. Qiao Xiaomai knew how terrible her relationship with Zhu Hongyun was, and Zhu Hongyun’s wrongdoings couldn’t be blamed on her no matter what.
Ailiusa did not blame her, but Qiao Xiaomai felt even more guilty. What a good girl she was, originally a princess of a country, and now she had not only lost her country but was also bullied by a rural shrew, so pitiful!
In the end, she was the owner of the manor, and she should take responsibility for this matter. If she had insisted on not letting Zhu Hongyun in, then Zhu Hongyun wouldn’t have had the chance to act, right?
Feeling guilty and unable to help, Qiao Xiaomai could only send as much as possible to the manor—popular clothes, jewelry, trinkets from the Capital City, and the agricultural products from the Field Manor, all she deemed good she sent.
Especially Floral Dew, this stuff was all the rage in Daqi, it could nourish the body, and drinking it long-term made cosmetics unnecessary. Since using the Spiritual Spring water, she hadn’t used any skincare or cosmetics, yet her skin remained as tender as a peeled egg.
Women dress up for those they like; Ailiusa surely wanted to show her best side to Shen Bai.
Very soon, Ailiusa sent another letter, strongly emphasizing not to send more items. Qiao Xiaomai was sending cartloads to the manor, and with only a few people there, they couldn’t use them all. The excess was distributed to Fan Linong and other guards.
Qiao Xiaomai realized she genuinely didn’t want more, so she toned it down a bit.
However, she couldn’t hold back for long because the autumn harvest had arrived.
Golden Ball September, another year’s harvest season; most crops were harvested in this period, like sweet potatoes, soybeans, millet, rice, sesame, etc. These crops were grown at the Field Manor and in considerable quantities, and under Qiao Xiaomai’s diligent irrigation with the Spiritual Spring water, they all thrived.
On this day, Yang Wenxiao found some spare time, and like an old farmer, he personally carried a hoe to dig up some sweet potatoes. He didn’t hand the sweet potatoes to others but personally dug a pit resembling an earthen stove in the field and roasted the sweet potatoes on it.
He did all of this himself, without letting anyone else assist.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang followed behind him, waiting to eat the roasted sweet potatoes.
