Chapter 7: The Deposed Minister's Wife and the Inhuman Emperor ⑥



"You mean that? Recently, an old farmer came to sell vegetables. They had plenty of firewood in the mountains, so they stored it in advance. They cleared out a room and built a greenhouse. They put vegetable pots in it, scattered seeds, and kept the fire burning day and night, waiting for the warm air to grow."

To prevent the emperor from pursuing her, Yun Yuan added, "This method requires a large amount of firewood, which is costly and wasteful. It would be best to use hot springs or earthen cellars for cultivation."

The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. The capital was located in the north, and every winter the vegetables available were either stored cabbages or pickled vegetables. If this situation could be broken, it would be a blessing for both the country and the people.

He asked, "Do you know the specific method?"

Yun Yuan had no idea. She had only browsed some information about ancient Earth on the interstellar Internet. There were few interstellar vegetable plants, and she couldn't even get the seeds. She had almost forgotten everything after browsing, and never thought that she would use it again one day.

She said vaguely, "I've only heard it's feasible. Using composted soil in a soil cellar to ferment generates heat, which can be used to grow chives and promote flowering. The specifics will only be known through practical application."

The emperor nodded and stopped asking questions, intending to let the agricultural official try again.

At this moment, the window next door opened and a faint sound floated in.

"I've already brought you to Zuixianlou, let's go back."

Yun Yuan blinked her eyes. It was Zhong Jianmin's voice.

The emperor stared at Yun Yuan closely, afraid that she would show the slightest concern. If so, his plan would be canceled.

A shrill female voice came: "Zhong Jianmin, what do you mean? Your ex-wife could come before, but I can't, right? I'm pregnant with your son. Now it's not me who wants to eat, it's your son who wants to eat."

Yun Yuan made a hushing gesture to the emperor and quietly opened the window a crack to listen to the gossip from next door.

The noise from next door continued.

"That's not what I meant. We're in a tight spot right now, so we need to save as much as we can."

"How else can I save? Wasn't the banquet I had when I got here simple enough? Just three tables. The banquets in our countryside are more impressive than this. I'm just craving something during pregnancy and want to come to Zuixianlou to eat. It's not like I'm committing a sin."

"If you bear with me any longer, I will make Yun return the dowry that she took away."

Yun Yuan curled her lips and muttered softly, "I think he's dreaming."

The emperor also heard it and said: "I didn't expect General Zhenwei's behavior to be so bad that he could even scheme to steal a woman's dowry. Don't worry, he will be put to rest soon."

Yun Yuan was curious: "How are you going to help me?"

"I……"

"I've already found Yun's residence. I'll send someone to steal the dowry tomorrow night. She's a weak woman with no one to rely on in the capital. She's definitely going to suffer this loss."

The emperor's eyes turned cold.

The woman next door said, "Just kill her and make it look like she'd hanged herself. She's a divorced woman, so suicide is easy to understand. It's cleaner and puts it to rest once and for all."

Yun Yuan shuddered. The male and female protagonists were so terrifying.

The emperor quickly embraced her, his heart filled with murderous intent, and he already regarded the two people next to him as dead.

"Tomorrow night, you will bring your maid to live in my courtyard. The servants in my courtyard are all good at fighting. If anyone dares to come, we will arrest them and bring them to the authorities!"

Yun Yuan was a little worried: "He is a general, will Jingzhao Yin punish him?"

The emperor said firmly: "Yes." If not, then don't be an official.

Yun Yuan was so angry when she returned that she called Chun Yu over.

"You must find a way to tear off General Zhenwei's roof tonight."

Chunyu rubbed his hands together, and said proudly: "Yes!" He was so excited that he could finally use his strength.

She exceeded her task, not only tearing off the entire roof of the general's mansion, but also the walls, knocking down whatever could be pushed down. That night the general's mansion was exceptionally lively, the servants' screams of fear and the master's furious curses of helplessness intertwined into beautiful and melodious music, which was particularly pleasant to the ears of the spring rain.

"Miss, the mission is accomplished."

Yun Yuan was in a good mood. "Go to the storehouse and ask for 100 taels of silver as a reward. Oh, and find me some recipes. I want to learn how to cook."

You can grow vegetables in space. In order to prevent no one from cooking when you return to the interstellar space, of course you have to learn it yourself. Besides, once you learn it, it belongs to you and no one can steal it. You can also use it when you go to other dimensions in the future.

Chun Yu obeyed unconditionally: "Yes."

Zhong Jianmin wanted to arrest someone at night, but Wu Yishu was afraid and held Zhong Jianmin tightly. Considering the baby in her belly, Zhong Jianmin held her in his arms all night in the cold weather and almost froze into a snow sculpture. He felt depressed and irritable.

The next day they hurriedly looked for someone to repair the house. However, which craftsman would be willing to work in such a heavy snow? It was cold and slippery, and movements were stiff. Not only was it unsafe, but the walls were also difficult to dry. If the owner was not satisfied, they would not receive their wages. Who could stand this?

It’s better to prepare more New Year’s goods in a warm house and have a good New Year.

Zhong Jianmin couldn't afford to spend money, so he had no choice but to take his people to stay in an inn.

The more he thought about it in the inn, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but throw the cup to the ground.

"Don't let General Ben find out who did it, otherwise... I'll crush him to death!"

"General, you hurt me." Wu Yishu whispered beside him.

Zhong Jianmin woke up as if from a dream and quickly let go of her pinched hand.

Wu Yishu rubbed the place where she was scratched and felt very uncomfortable.

Normally, she would act up when Zhong Jianmin was in a calm mood. Now, it was obvious that Zhong Jianmin was not to be provoked, and she was a little scared.

She said dryly, "The same goes for the bricklayers. Asking them to repair the house is like begging them. They just want more money."

Zhong Jianmin said gloomily, "Just bear with it for tonight. Once we get the Yun family's dowry, we can build ten general mansions, not to mention one."
