Chapter 445 The Flower of Barrenness (20)
Why don't you expose me?
"It has nothing to do with me. Besides, do you think your parents and your sisters didn't realize it?"
"Did you figure it out?"
Wangyou didn't want to talk anymore. Are all the people from this other world so stupid? This Tian Xiaoyu is, and that Li Susu is too. They're so high-profile, as if they're afraid others won't know they're different from others.
“I know I’m stupid. Before I came here, I was just a college freshman. I thought I was the female lead after transmigrating, so I didn’t have many concerns…” Tian Xiaoyu’s voice grew softer and softer.
"Are you still in contact with your husband?"
“He sent me a letter of divorce a while ago, and then there was no further news,” Tian Xiaoyu confessed honestly.
"It seems that Li Susu has a great influence on him. For now, it looks like they'll let you off the hook." Wangyou thought about Li Susu's influence, so it wasn't surprising.
"Will this affect my business?" Tian Xiaoyu thought of the shops she ran, which all used modern technology.
"According to what you said, do you think that Li Susu, upon discovering that you are from the same place, will be all smiles and tears when she meets your fellow townsman, or will she stab you in the back when you meet each other?"
"Stab me!"
"So you have to prove your worth. As long as the higher-ups are willing to protect you, no matter how capable Li Susu is, it won't matter."
"Then I'll hand over the high-yield grain seeds," Tian Xiaoyu said somewhat fearfully.
"No rush. You have to speak with facts. It's May now, there should be enough time to start farming. I'll go borrow an imperial estate and split the profits in half."
"Okay, you can have it all, I just want to keep my life."
"Half is enough for me. You go and rest first. I'll tell you when I find a place to farm."
"Okay." Tian Xiaoyu opened the door and left.
People from another world must know a lot, including many things that their Great Yong Dynasty doesn't have. If all of these things were unearthed, they would definitely have an immeasurable impact on the country's development.
Wangyou twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist. It seemed that Tian Xiaoyu could be of some use now. Considering that she wasn't as foolish as she used to be, it wouldn't be a problem to give her a hand.
Without hesitation, Wangyou climbed the ladder and went to the next room to find Murong Guan.
"Forget-Me-Not, what brings you here?"
"I need to talk to you about something."
"what's up?"
"I need to borrow a estate from you, one that requires good security."
“There really is one. I’ll have someone send you the land deed later.”
"You're not even going to ask me what I'm doing?"
"Anything is fine, as long as you're happy."
“My cousin said she found a high-yield grain variety, but the exact yield is unknown. So, I plan to borrow your estate for a while to avoid it being discovered or damaged.”
"Then I'll send some more guards over to keep an eye on things."
"Okay, I don't need the land deed. Just come with me. I'll use your connections to intimidate you."
"I'll give you the land deed, and I'll give you the person too." Murong Guan's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Wangyou, come and see the wedding dress I designed. Which style do you like?" Murong Guan said with a smile, pulling Wangyou to the desk.
"You designed all of these. I didn't know you had this skill."
"I hope our wedding will be the most perfect. I went to my cousin's place and got some fabric made of silkworm silk, so that the wedding dress won't be too heavy."
The current Murong Guan is nothing like the taciturn man he once was; in front of Wangyou, he's a chatterbox.
"Isn't the Emperor angry?"
"No, it's nothing serious."
Seeing this, Wangyou didn't ask any more questions and started looking at the wedding dress design drawings. In the end, she chose a simple and elegant style, and Murong Guan nodded and had it made.
As for the phoenix crown for the wedding, Wangyou tried to choose something as simple as possible. Marriage is for yourself, not for outsiders. It would be strange if she didn't get sick carrying dozens of kilograms of weight for a whole day.
Murong Guan did not object, but he sent even more good things to Wangyou.
As for the eldest princess and the Duke of Fuguo, they would send gifts every now and then, just in case their future daughter-in-law was wronged.
Wangyou doesn't just accept gifts without reciprocating. Some of the gifts she gives are medicine pills to regulate the body, and some are wines she brews. In short, as long as the gift is thoughtful, that's what matters.
A few days later, Wangyou boarded a carriage and took Murong Guan and Tian Xiaoyu to the manor. After arriving at the manor, Wangyou first screened everyone.
"Forget-Me-Not Sister, how do you know those people are problematic?"
Are your eyes just for decoration?
Tian Xiaoyu wisely shut up. Murong Guan called the rest of the people over to acknowledge their new master, and then the group went to take a look around the field.
Most of the land has already been planted with grain, and the seedlings have grown so long that pulling them out is impractical.
"Never mind, let's wait until this crop is harvested. Let's go back first and clear out the backyard garden. We can plant the high-yield crops you mentioned." After looking at it, Wangyou suddenly realized why she felt like she had forgotten something.
As a farm woman, she had actually forgotten that the fields had been planted in May. But you can't blame her; she had never worked in the fields since she could remember, at most she had herded cattle, so forgetting wasn't a big deal.
The group returned empty-handed, but planting in their own backyard actually offered greater security and privacy.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, are you still going to meet that Marquis's son?"
"I'm not going. Now that I think about it, I didn't really like him that much. I don't know why I was so blinded by greed to save a man covered in injuries." Tian Xiaoyu shook her head.
"Then forget it, just go back and stay at my place."
"Yes, thank you, Forget-Me-Not Sister."
Watching the interaction between Wangyou and Murong Guan, Tian Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little envious, but also genuinely grateful. It was after meeting her that she suddenly regained her senses, so she went to Wangyou for help as soon as she finished her business. Sure enough, she became even more lucid.
In fact, Tian Xiaoyu had some guesses. Perhaps she was influenced by some kind of plot before, while Wangyou was like someone outside the plot. Getting close to her would make you lucky and rational.
Wangyou was naturally unaware of Tian Xiaoyu's nonsensical thoughts. Even if she did, she would just laugh it off, saying that she hadn't noticed anything unusual. How could that be? It just didn't do her any harm, so she was too lazy to bother with it.
Meanwhile, Tian Ye and Tian Zhuang's appointments were announced, and both were assigned to the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy was like a talent reserve, filled with top scholars and successful candidates from all previous years; it was truly a clean and honest government office.
Tian Ye and Tian Zhuang remained calm and focused, diligently completing their book editing and repair work every day. During this time, they read a great deal and broadened their horizons considerably.
So, what others might see as a predictable job, these two are doing with great enthusiasm. Moreover, they are young and have plenty of experience; they should focus on accumulating knowledge for now.
