Chapter 355 The messenger
As for becoming relatives with the Wang family...how can my maiden family be considered as real relatives?
Besides, she and Xia Jinhua were not close sisters whose friendship was stronger than that of a golden sword. They could even be considered the kind of toxic "relatives" who would breathe a sigh of relief when they saw each other in trouble.
Xia Jinhua's desire to borrow her light, or her desire to borrow Xia Jinhua's strength, are probably wishful thinking.
Fortunately, with Space Supermarket in hand, she will always be invincible.
In ancient times, especially in times of frequent wars, what was the concept of having an endless supply of new food? If she was ambitious and had aspirations, she would have a chance to rule the country, not to mention ruling a region!
It's just that she has always been lazy, doesn't like to worry, has no patience to manage people, and is even more lazy to take the trouble to do these hard things. She is only satisfied with being a wealthy businessman with a superior status and living her own life freely and happily.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
She fled with her family from the northernmost Bohai County all the way to the capital, but ultimately could not escape the shadow of war.
She couldn't be a warrior who killed enemies in battle, nor could she be a general who planned strategies, but she could provide the court and the soldiers and civilians in the capital with some affordable food and fodder. Such an easy task, was there anything she was afraid of not being able to do?
Thinking about this, Xia Daohua curled up the corners of her mouth unconsciously.
Wang Silang looked even more frightened. Ever since his men's sneak attack failed and items in the farm disappeared inexplicably, he always felt that Xia Daohua's behavior was not normal. He was very worried whether she was planning some big move.
Could it be that he wanted to gather all his resentment together and use it to be cruel to himself?
This girl is really weird. Isn't she afraid that she will torture her family?
The two people each had their own thoughts and did not speak for a while. The room fell into awkward silence. As a result, the sound of slightly rapid breathing outside the door became more obvious.
A moment later, Xia Jinhua came in with a bowl of "stew" - Xia Daohua had been talking to Wang Silang for a long time, but he didn't come out, so she was a little worried - mainly because she was afraid that Wang Silang would suffer a loss.
Xia Daohua happily gave up her place to the young couple and turned around to leave. However, Wang Silang was a little scared and reluctant to leave - it had been such a long time and the business had not been settled yet!
Xia Daohua only said that they could talk, but did not say at what price the grain would be sold to him, nor did he say where the grain would be transported from. How could he arrange manpower?
In fact, Wang Silang still had some secret ambitions. He hoped that if Xia Daohua let slip in a happy tone and told him where to transport the grain, he would risk some casualties and go over to rob Xia Daohua's warehouse in advance - but this idea was doomed to have no hope of coming true.
When Xia Jinhua saw Wang Silang's expression, she immediately misunderstood and felt angry.
Xia Daohua is indeed his nemesis!
It was obvious that Silang and I were in love with each other, but she showed up and interfered. Not only did she not save face for me in front of Silang, she also refused to say a good word for me in front of my grandparents!
I don't know what tricks she used this time to make Silang lose his mind!
But before she could react, she heard a flurry of footsteps. A small leader from the Wang family's army came running over in a hurry and said to Wang Silang:
"Sir, someone has come from the palace, saying that the new emperor's decree has arrived. They are now resting in the front hall and drinking tea. We have already set up the incense table, waiting for you to go and receive the decree."
He paused and continued, "In addition to an elderly eunuch, there was also a young man with four guards, sitting in two carriages and riding four horses. The elderly man also asked if Madam Xia was with us. If so, she should go out together to receive the order."
Wang Silang and Xia Jinhua felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. If the new emperor even knew about Xia Daohua's being here, then what else might he not know?
Although Xia Daohua was surprised when she heard this, she was delighted afterwards. She roughly guessed who the person was who came to deliver the imperial edict.
