The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 310 - 193: The Regent King of Great Xia Country Has Arrived
The strong man’s face flushed, and he stammered, "Um, well, my wife... is sick, so I went to town to get a doctor...
But no doctor is willing to come see my wife! Madam, I’m in such a difficult situation! I’ve already suffered all the retribution I deserve! Please..."
"Hmm, got injured in a fight, right?"
Jiao Dazhi: "..."
He was too embarrassed to admit that he indeed got injured in a fight.
"You truly are a Goddess! A Fairy, Madam..."
"Stop. I can distribute land to you, but you need to sign a contract with me like the people of Sha Hai Country, with a term of three years."
These mountain bandits, Yun Chunnuan wasn’t sure if she could control them.
Having a contract was like a bit of insurance, right?
Jiao Dazhi thought it over. Although it seemed a bit unfair compared to other people in Bianliao, it was reasonable.
Who would trust people like them?
Even if you stand up and say a few words during the day, what does it prove? And people expect gratitude and praise?
Being given a sliver of survival is already very good! How dare one ask for more?
This Great Xia Princess is far more capable and intelligent than he imagined.
"Alright! We’ll sign! We’re ready to answer the madam’s call anytime, except for the monthly silver..."
"The payment is the same as everyone else, distributed weekly, according to work done. Do more, get more. Slack off, and not a single penny will be received."
Yun Chunnuan had heard about the things these bandits did in the barracks.
Although she was grateful he stood up for her today, her money didn’t grow on trees. Why should she fork out money just because he moved his lips?
"Madam, my name is Jiao Dazhi, remember that. In the future, I’ll be your most dependable aide! Wait and see!"
After speaking, Jiao Dazhi limped out.
Although his leg was crippled, his back was straight.
Yun Chunnuan smiled and shook her head, not taking it seriously.
It was late at night, near the hour of ugly, when the Barbarian General returned. In her drowsiness, she told him the matter.
He didn’t interfere or fault her for her actions; instead, he let her do as she wished, saying he’d have someone watch those bandits.
If anything arises, they will be noticed immediately, so put your mind at ease.
He also had something to tell his little wife, but she slept so soundly, she drifted off while held in his embrace.
He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and gently nuzzled his cheek against her tender neck.
His wife, as the beloved he held dear in his heart, if any fool dared to come and take her away.
Let them not blame him if he turns into a devil and wipes them out completely!

Three days later, the monthly trade fair began again.
This time, Yun Chunnuan did not appear but selected thirty people who had signed contracts, leading Bianliao’s people to set up thirty stalls at the fair.
With last month’s tasting event, people came again for the tastings, because even though the vendors had handed over the cooking methods, it just never tasted as good as theirs.
But those fruits were truly wonderful!
Upon first tasting, they seemed like ordinary fruits, but the more one ate them, the better they tasted. Especially the oranges, tangerines, strawberries, and cherries, which were beloved by kids at home.
Bananas, being soft, were more suitable for the elderly.
So as soon as the fruits were displayed, even before guests arrived, the stall owners snapped them all up.
Originally, Bianliao’s people thought these things were too expensive. Although delicious, they didn’t expect many customers.
Unexpectedly, there were so many affluent people from other tribes!
In less than an hour, the fruits from thirty stalls were completely sold out!
Even the vegetables were gone by noon!
For three whole days, it was the same every day.
It was their first time seeing so much silver, and their gratitude towards the Little Princess came straight from their hearts.
Moreover, she only took fifty percent of the earnings, leaving the other fifty percent for the stall owners...
This is no witch?!
She’s a living Bodhisattva!!!

Time flew by.
Autumn passed, and winter came.
After a fresh snowfall, the temperature in Bianliao grew colder and colder.
A horse carriage slowly stopped in front of the vermilion gates of the Royal Palace, along the long Imperial Road.
The curtain of the carriage fluttered slightly, and out jumped a man dressed in black, with his dark hair tied high atop his head, revealing a face as handsome as a jade carving.
His eyes were deep-set, with pupils of a light amber color. His nose was high and sharp, with slightly raised edges, making him look wild and bold.
Draped in a cloak lined with black fox fur, he exuded nobility and a touch of aloofness.
He cast a glance at the wide-open palace gates, his gaze sharp enough to pierce the heart...
Quickly, he looked away.
He reopened the curtain and those eyes, as clear and transparent as glass, instantly filled with tenderness.
He reached out his hand and offered it.
A small, soft, white hand rested in his rough palm.
With a gentle pull, a petite figure leapt out of the carriage.
She didn’t land on the ground, as the man caught her in his arms.
The young girl’s cheeks flushed red, and she gave him a light tap, "Stop fooling around, this is the Royal Palace!"
The man set the soft young girl on the ground, bent down, and smoothed the wrinkles on her red cloak.
"Nuannuan, are you afraid?"
Afraid?
Yun Chunnuan shook her head, "Why should I be afraid? I’m just a bit nervous. He’s been scheming and plotting for so long, I worry it might turn against you."
Yelyu Lie hooked the corner of his lips, his light amber eyes completely filled with the image of the petite beauty dressed in red, "My wife looks so beautiful today. Aren’t you afraid? I’m afraid he might take you away."
"Nonsense, even if he were as handsome as Pan An reborn, I wouldn’t be moved! I’m a woman with a husband now!"
"Tsk." Yelyu Lie took her small tender hand and said softly, "I still remember someone saying, ’My heart skipped a beat here’."
He imitated the Little Princess’ sweet soft voice.
Yun Chunnuan couldn’t help but laugh, "The vinegar king of Bianliao, none other than you. You still remember after all this time. Anyway, it was this body’s heart that skipped, what’s that got to do with me?"
Listen to her, how unreasonable this sounds.
It’s like binge eating while dieting and saying afterward: This is the mouth eating, what does it have to do with me?
Yelyu Lie squeezed her soft little hand, "May I ask this Seventh Princess of Great Xia Country to spare my wife, she doesn’t want to be swayed by some scumbag, it’s all your fault!"
Yun Chunnuan pressed her lips together, revealing two sweet dimples, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, don’t be jealous. I was just caught off guard the first time I saw him. Rest assured, no matter how good-looking that scumbag is, your wife won’t give him a second glance!"
Yelyu Lie pouted, no objections.
Indeed, the Regent King of Great Xia Country had arrived.
Unlike the last time he came in disguise, this time he came openly under the name of a congratulatory envoy.
The wedding is imminent, just ten days away, and he’s here...
