Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival ...
Chapter 828 831. Coming
Jin Qianqian pondered, "If this is the case, you need someone to protect you.
Don't forget that when the chips are down, I have other options."
Gu Wenheng grabbed her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If it really comes to that, your other choice will also be irreversible.
Don't worry, you have to have confidence in me. We have also deployed some personnel in Beijing in recent years. At the critical moment, you just need to take care of yourselves.
And this is just the worst-case scenario. I believe that given the character of the current emperor, he would not allow such a thing to happen.
Let's not bother ourselves here."
Jin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "I hope it's as you said."
But they all knew in their hearts that things in Shangjing were not as peaceful as they seemed.
The princes under them have all grown up. Over the years, they have secretly received many offers of recruitment, but since Gu Wenheng is deeply favored by the emperor, his reports can be heard directly by the emperor, so these people dare not force it.
"..." Gu Wenheng said firmly, "We will definitely be able to overcome this hurdle."

Now that he has some free time, Gu Wenheng, in addition to burning incense and observing mourning every day, has temporarily taken over the pieces of land that they had first handed over to the clan to manage.
Gu Benluo and Gu Bencan were weeding in the rice field. They looked up and saw their unscrupulous parents sitting on the rice stalks eating fruit. They swallowed their saliva.
"Dad, please leave some for me. Don't eat it all." Gu Bencan stood on tiptoe, looking at the half-eaten plate, and reminded loudly.
Gu Wenheng ignored him, but instead picked up a piece of fruit flesh and fed it to Jin Qianqian himself.
Gu Bencan, "..."
Gu Benluo chuckled and bent down to work again. He had to clean up the grass quickly, otherwise tonight's dinner would be harsh again.
"Brother, look at Dad, isn't this deliberately irritating me?"
Gu Benluo didn't even raise his head. "This is not the first day you've known this. Hurry up and clean up the grass. I don't want to starve with you tonight."
Gu Bencan, "...I am your younger brother..."
"You should be thankful that you are my brother," Gu Benluo took a few steps forward to increase the distance between them, "otherwise I would have drawn a line to divide this land in half."
If he hadn't been accommodating this kid, he should have been sitting on the stalk of the field and enjoying the plate of fruit.
Gu Bencan, "...Brother, mother is here and will not let us go hungry."
"Do you believe it?"
“…”
Jin Qianqian was fanning herself at this time and laughing, "I guess these two guys are up to some bad ideas again."
Gu Wenheng, "No, he must be saying bad things about me.
I have already agreed with Gu Yi that this land will be managed by the two brothers this year, and the harvest will still belong to the clan. I hope these two guys won’t make a fool of themselves. "
Jin Qianqian was a little curious, "What if the harvest is not good?"
Gu Wenheng raised his lips slightly, "Then continue next year, of course, the land will also double.
When they have finished planting the land, they will leave the village."
Jin Qianqian, "...Have you told the two children?"
Gu Wenheng, "If I tell you, the fun will be gone. I believe they will like this surprise when the time comes."
Jin Qianqian, "...You two really know how to play..." Forget it, I'd better not tell the person in front of me for now, the hair on those hair spinners he treasured has been plucked out.
Gu Wenheng, "You don't have to worry about them. Gu Yi will arrange people to notify them what to do and when, and will not leave this land abandoned."
Jin Qianqian laughed angrily, "Why don't you teach them yourself? You sound like you have a lot of experience in farming."
Gu Wenheng touched his nose and smiled, “They lack experience, but they can’t compare to me in theory.
It seems like there is still a lot to learn in these two hours, so don’t worry, let’s take it slow.”
Jin Qianqian stared at him for a long time before she said quietly, "Your personality really makes me want to do something... Look at you sweating profusely over there, but as a father, shouldn't you be with your two sons and teach them in person right now?"
Gu Wenheng patted his big belly proudly, "Madam, do you think I can still bend down?"
"..." Jin Qianqian gritted her teeth, "You are so proud now. I have decided that for the sake of your health, I will not let the fat on your belly continue to grow. From now on, you will have to walk around the village at least ten times."
Gu Wenheng looked at her with horror, "Wife, are you planning to vent your anger for those two guys? I already know that you only have them in your heart and eyes now, but you can't be so harsh to me..."
Jin Qianqian looked back at the guard girl standing far away, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch the fat on his waist, "Control your expression, Master Gu..."
Gu Wenheng's face was stiff, but he had to maintain his image, so he said weakly, "Wife, how can I control my expression when you are like this? Let go quickly..."
Jin Qianqian immediately let go, "Humph, I see you've been too idle these days, why don't you go and enjoy the joy of labor with the two children.
Don’t say you can’t bend down. There are many things you can do without bending down, such as picking up those weeds…”
…
Gu Benluo, who noticed the situation here out of the corner of his eye, lowered his head. It seemed that he had to have dinner tonight, and maybe he could even have an extra meal.

As soon as Hou Tianer received the letter from home, he immediately found Gu Yi.
Gu Yi's face changed drastically and he hurried out with the letter.
"Sir," Gu Yi had worked as a clerk under Gu Wenheng for several years and had long been accustomed to the current address, "My father-in-law went through a lot of trouble to send this letter home. Please take a look."
Gu Wenheng read ten lines at a glance and his face immediately darkened.
Someone was asked to invite Jin Qianqian over. After seeing the letter, Jin Qianqian felt that everything was settled.
"I didn't expect it to arrive earlier than we thought. These people really can't wait for a moment."
Gu Yi, "..."
Gu Wenheng patted his shoulder and said, "We know about this matter. Go back and thank your wife. We will take care of it."
Gu Yi, "How about I take someone there?"
After all, I have been in Yi Province for so many years and have some connections there, so it would be appropriate for me to help deal with it.
Jin Qianqian, "No need. The round trip is too far. Don't worry, the manager over there will take care of it."
Seeing how confident they were, Gu Yi had some doubts in his heart, but he also knew that the two people in front of him never lied, so he left with the letter.
Jin Qianqian waited until everyone left before she said self-deprecatingly, "Looks like I can retire soon."
Gu Wenheng put his arm around her shoulders and looked down at her profile. "Can't bear to let her go?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head and said, "I have been prepared and planning for this for a long time, but I still feel bad inside.
Besides, what we have in our hands is too dazzling, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to hide in the dark."
In the past few years, she had already given away all her share of maritime trade, but even so, there were still many people who made sour remarks about her.
