This thing is useless to her, but it could be given to Han Yuchen. Who knows, maybe one day he can use it to stab the Crown Prince.
Mengyao is not very bright in many ways.
Now that Chi Qingqing has gone back, the rest of the Chi family should leave, right? Han Luoxue was getting annoyed; she didn't want to see anyone from the Chi family.
...
"Father, Mother, Qingqing has already gone back. Let's go back to the capital too!"
Chi Ling'er hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Before she could even come up with a solution, her daughter was taken away by the Crown Princess.
"go back?"
The two elderly people were still secretly discussing how to get close to their daughter, but before they could come up with a plan, Qingqing was released.
"Didn't they say they wouldn't accept a settlement? How come it's out so quickly?"
Madam Chi looked at her daughter with suspicion.
"It was the Crown Princess from the capital who made the move!"
"Last time I said I wanted to improve my relationship with the Crown Princess, and you all said it wasn't necessary. But look at us now, it's still up to the Crown Princess when it matters."
Chi Ling'er said with a smug look on her face.
"Qingqing is quite clever. If it weren't for the Crown Princess's influence, who knows how long Han Luoxue would have remained arrogant?"
If it had been a day earlier, the two elderly people would have been overjoyed to hear this news.
But now...
They knew Yunniang was their missing daughter. And their daughter hated them; how could they possibly go back like this?
"Ling'er, why don't you go back first? Your father and I are going to check out the situation here, and maybe we can open a branch here in the future."
Madam Chi quickly came up with an idea.
“Mother, in this place, not many people are willing to spend money on nice clothes. The clothes we make in our shop aren’t cheap. If we stay here, I’m worried…”
"So you still need to investigate further. Look at the lives of the people here now; they're much better than in other places."
Speaking of this, Chi Ling'er curled her lip in disdain.
That Han Luoxue is just trying to attract attention. I don't know where she got the seedlings, but they're better than the ones we have now, and she's won over a lot of people.
"My daughter doesn't think this place is suitable. Let's go back together!"
The two elderly people dared not say that they had already met Yunniang, and could only agree for now. It was already late, and they needed to go home the next morning.
"Or maybe I should just pretend to be sick!"
Madam Chi had no intention of going back now. She wanted to appease her daughter first and get her youngest daughter back.
"Let me do it. Your health isn't good to begin with, and I'm worried you won't be able to handle it if you keep going like this!"
"Old Master Chi said with emotion."
"Is your body capable of such a drastic change?" Old Madam Chi glared at him unhappily, but in the end, Old Master Chi snatched it away.
Chi Ling'er didn't bring many people with her this time.
Her injuries were still throbbing, and she wanted to see her dear sister one last time before going back.
The farm is still very busy; the piglets are growing quickly, and everyone is busy taking care of them.
Some people were feeding the pigs water, while others were cleaning the pigsty. As for the pigs' excrement, it all went into the manure pit at the back.
After fermentation, this manure is sent to nearby farmland. Most of it is for Han Luoxue's own use; she has contracted so much land and uses a lot of fertilizer.
However, villagers sometimes came to ask for money, and Han Luoxue was not stingy and refused to accept any payment. This only increased her fame among the people. In fact, some even called her a living bodhisattva.
...
"Stop crying! You're just a debt collector!"
Old Mrs. Lu beat the skinny little boy hard; she was now filled with regret.
Hearing the praise for Han Luoxue outside, she was even more annoyed.
Nowadays, even the adults in their family can't afford to eat, let alone the children.
Mu Tou is too young to do anything, and he often goes hungry at home. What does a two- or three-year-old know? When he's hungry or upset, all he can do is cry for his mother.
Upon hearing those two words, Old Lady Lu flew into a rage, raised her hand, and slapped Wooden's little bottom hard: "Cry again? Grandma will strangle you to death!"
Seeing the old woman's fierce eyes, Mu Tou was too scared to cry out loud and sobbed softly.
"Hmph, it's all your mother's fault, she's full of bad intentions. If she hadn't been stirring things up, would my son have done such a despicable thing?"
Now, people in her village avoid her whenever they see her. People who don't know better might think she has something shameful on her.
"Grandma, I'm hungry!" If this were in the past, Grandma Lu would definitely have sent Mu Tou to Hu Tou Ya Village to find something to eat.
But she still listened to what the official said last time.
The official had said not to go after Han Luoxue and her group, otherwise no one could save them.
Grandma Lu burst into tears, feeling wronged. What had she done to deserve this? She had only wanted to leave Xiao Nan with an heir, not wanting her grandson to be left to wander outside.
"Grandma, don't cry."
Seeing Grandma Lu crying loudly, Mu Tou stopped crying instead. He blinked his big eyes and said obediently:
"The wood is no longer hungry."
Grandma Lu looked at the dirt on the child's face and reached out to wipe it off for him:
"My dear, you don't know when your parents will come back, so you must grow up well."
She was just too angry. She forgot that Mu Tou was her Xiao Nan's only son.
We absolutely cannot allow anything to go wrong.
"Yes, Grandma," Mu Tou said obediently. He knew that in this family, the only person who cared about his life or death was his grandmother.
Actually, he still wanted to go to his grandmother's house, but he didn't dare.
"I wonder how your father is doing?"
...
What do you want from me?
When Yunniang heard that someone had invited her to town, and it was Chi Ling'er no less, she naturally refused.
Chi Ling'er resented Yunniang for being ungrateful, so she had no choice but to go to the breeding farm to find someone.
When she arrived, she saw Yunniang cleaning the pig trough, which was no easy task. Yunniang's clothes were all dirty, and she straightened up when she saw her coming.
"I want to talk to you."
"Yunniang, do you know? My daughter has returned to the capital."
"It was the Crown Princess's people who came to take her back. What's the use of you disagreeing and not agreeing to a reconciliation?"
“When the Crown Princess comes, you are always helpless.”
Chi Ling'er looked smug, while Yunniang merely glanced at her indifferently without refuting her.
"You must be resentful, but what can you do? I know the high and mighty Crown Prince and Crown Princess..."
And you…
Chi Ling'er looked at the messy surroundings and the squealing of pigs, and scoffed lightly:
"You'll only ever be a village girl, spending your days with these animals, and you'll be worse than a servant for the rest of your life."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, actually the servants in my household have an easier job than you do."
