"It's her! It's actually her!!! How could she be with His Highness?!"

"Wasn't she...wasn't she kicked out by us? Wasn't she just a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat?!"

Madam Chu saw it too, and she stopped crying, replaced by a mixture of absurdity and regret.

The appearance of Zi Xi in the photo deeply stung the nerves of everyone present.

The stark contrast was like a resounding slap across their faces.

"We...we were so blind back then!!"

Father Chu wept uncontrollably, pounding the sofa armrests, his voice hoarse with endless regret.

If... if they had treated their adopted daughter better back then, even if it was just maintaining a superficial warmth, could they have saved the Chu family from destruction today by virtue of that relationship?

Even to a higher level?

Green Field Star, as its name suggests, is a habitable planet known for its agriculture and natural scenery.

Here, there is neither the bustling prosperity of a capital planet nor the dangers of a barbaric one; the pace of life is slow and peaceful.

Zi Xi fell in love with this planet almost as soon as she set foot on it.

With that huge prize money, she didn't hesitate to buy a detached house with a huge backyard on the outskirts of the planet.

The house itself is in a classic pastoral style, with white walls and red tiles. It's not particularly luxurious, but it's warm and comfortable enough.

What truly captivated Zixi was the backyard, which was the size of a standard football field.

The land is fertile and sunny, and most importantly, it offers excellent privacy, surrounded by natural forests and gentle slopes, completely away from the prying eyes of neighbors.

"This is it!"

Zi Xi stood in the center of the backyard, opened her arms, took a deep breath of the air filled with the scent of grass, and smiled happily.

This will be her true home.

The first thing she did after settling in was to build her private farm.

Space compression technology in the interstellar era is already quite mature.

While it can't compare to her amazing farm space, it's more than enough for expanding and optimizing land use.

Zixi spent a lot of money to hire a professional robotics team to work in the basement and some areas of the backyard.

On the surface, the backyard seems to be divided into several regular areas, but once you step into it, you can feel that the interior space has been cleverly stretched and compressed.

A vegetable garden area that appears to be only a few dozen square meters may actually have a usable area of ​​several hundred square meters.

The seemingly ordinary glass greenhouse actually simulates the climate of a tropical rainforest, with different crops grown in distinct layers.

All preparations are complete.

Zi Xi began to carefully and gradually transplant the assets in the farm space into the real world.

She chose to do it late at night when everyone was asleep.

First, there are the easiest-to-grow, and most inconspicuous, wild vegetables and commonly used spices.

She carefully transplanted the thriving plants from the space, along with a small handful of vibrant soil, into the planned vegetable plot.

Under the covert irrigation of the space spring, these plants hardly experienced any acclimatization period before taking root and growing vigorously in their new environment.

Next up are the fruit tree seedlings.

She selected some young saplings that were easy to transplant and planted them on the sunniest slope in her backyard.
