Ouyang Yuqing was worried that Shen Yingying would be tired after such a long carriage ride, so he nodded and prepared to take her to the guest room on the second floor to rest.
Shen Yingying was worried that her grandfather, who had traveled a long way, might not have the stamina to keep up and might not be able to handle it.
"Grandpa, why don't you and the butler go upstairs and rest first?"
Although Grandpa Mei is a superhuman, he has been tormented by his own younger brother for so many years.
I'm really struggling physically.
"Okay, I'll listen to Yingying and go upstairs to rest."
As the group went up to the second floor, Shen Yingying heard the landlady scolding the servant downstairs.
"If I don't scold you guys a couple of times today, I'm not comfortable, am I?"
If you don't get to work properly, I'll show you why the flowers are so red.
When Shen Yingying heard the landlady scolding the servant like that, she became suspicious.
However, Ouyang Yuqing urged her to rest, and she put the matter out of her mind.
Whether she's a time traveler or not, she has no connection to me, so what does it have to do with me?
The couple first escorted the two elderly men to their room, and then they also booked a room in the adjacent room.
The two sat on the bed in the inn, and Ouyang Yuqing asked with concern, "Yingying, has the baby been bothering you?"
When Shen Yingying heard Ouyang Yuqing ask about the child, the old woman touched her slightly protruding belly and smiled, saying, "It's alright. I drink more spiritual spring water every day, and the child isn't fussy."
Seeing the motherly smile emanating from Shen Yingying, Ouyang Yuqing reached out and gently brushed the stray hairs from her ear.
"Yingying, thank you for your hard work."
Shen Yingying glanced at her stomach and placed Ouyang Yuqing's hand on it.
Feel it; don't you feel happy having them around?
Ouyang Yuqing nodded happily.
Shen Yingying smiled and said to Ouyang Yuqing, "So, all the hard work was worth it."
In less than seven months, our five babies will be born. We need to build up the desert before the children are even born.
That way, when the child is born, there will be a good environment for them to play in.
When the topic of building the desert came up, the two started talking again.
"Yuqing, let the people from the carriage caravan stay at this inn for now."
I'll ask the landlady tomorrow morning where there's a water source nearby.
Let's start by planting trees near the water source.
Ouyang Yuqing nodded in agreement with Shen Yingying's idea.
But he was also worried about where the old steward of the manor was building the castle.
Given the desert weather, it would be difficult for the old steward to build a castle...
Sure enough, Feng Mingchao, the old steward of the War King's Mansion, along with the mansion's loyal guards, found a beautiful place with mountains and water.
But how could such a good place not have local bullies?
The old steward was accompanied by about 130 men, and he had to deal with the local bullies.
They wanted a piece of land to lay the foundation first.
But the local strongmen felt it wasn't necessary.
They were used to ruling the area, and the local bullies thought that the old steward and his men would have to submit to them.
Either fight it out and decide who will be the ruler of this place.
The old steward and his men have masters; how could they possibly submit to the local bullies?
But the local bullies weren't pushovers either.
They also have several times more personnel.
This greatly worried the old steward.
Fight? He believed his men still had some strength, but they were outnumbered and at a disadvantage.
If we don't fight, they want to annex our strength.
The old housekeeper is now in a complete mess.
He had solemnly promised his mistress that he would definitely be able to build up the desert.
But things didn't go as planned.
When the old steward arrived in the desert, he saw how desolate it was.
The old man's heart sank.
