Chapter 17: Confession



Ye Han picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, moistening his throat before speaking, "This story begins when this body was six years old. At six, I fell from a tree while playing around and fell unconscious for a while. After waking up, this body's consciousness was no longer the original Ye Han."

Ye Han paused after speaking, giving Yue Chengyu time to react. Yue Chengyu frowned after hearing this. "What do you mean? What do you mean by this body? What do you mean by not being the original Ye Han? Then who are you?" He asked a series of questions, his eyes fixed on Ye Han.

"Then let me reintroduce myself. My name is Ye Han, but I'm Ye Han from the Flower Growers of 2021." Ye Han looked at Yue Chengyu's puzzled expression and explained, "It's in the future. It could be thousands of years from now, or hundreds of years from now. I can't be sure of the specific time because there is no record of the Dai Viet Dynasty in our history."

"The future? Thousands of years later or hundreds of years later? Princess, do you think I'm a fool?" Yue Chengyu's voice turned cold and he tightened his grip on the cup.

"Your Majesty, do I need to lie to you at this moment? What good will it do me? I can't be tired of living and want you to kill me as a monster."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Princess, what do you do in the so-called future world? And how did you... um... become General Ye's daughter?" Yue Chengyu considered his words carefully. In fact, based on his interactions with Ye Han over the past few days, and the secret guards' investigative data, Ye Han was definitely not a brainless vase.

"My original name was Ye Han, the same name as the young lady from General Ye's mansion. I'm an orphan. I completed my education through social support, scholarships, and work-study programs. Of course, that's not important. My major is one of the most useless things here, completely useless." Ye Han shrugged self-deprecatingly, brightening the atmosphere. Indeed, Ye Han's major was computer science, which in ancient times might have been even more useless.

Then he continued, "After graduating from university, I moved into the house I bought. However, just as I had almost finished tidying up my new home, I was struck by lightning. The next time I opened my eyes, I became the six-year-old legitimate daughter of the Ye family. That's roughly what happened. Does Your Highness have any questions?"

"Education? Did you go to school? What was your major?"

"Yes, I went to school. In our area, all children can and must go to school when they reach a certain age. As for majors, at a certain age, you need to learn the basics of all knowledge. At this stage, you learn a broad but shallow knowledge. At another age, you pass an exam and choose a field that you like or are interested in to study in depth. At this stage, the content you learn is specialized and in-depth. That's about it."

Ye Han looked at Yue Chengyu who was silent and asked uncertainly, "Does Your Majesty understand?"

"Although I haven't heard of many of the words, I understand the general meaning." "What are you studying?"

"Your Highness, this is not the point. We can talk about it later."

Yue Chengyu nodded when he heard this and asked, "Why did the princess choose to expose herself? Aren't you afraid of being burned at the stake?" Yue Chengyu joked.

"I'm scared! But these small things can be hidden, but the materials used to renovate this yard are all big ones, there's no way to hide them. The sooner we get out of this, the easier it will be." Ye Han spread his hands and said sincerely.

"Why do we have to build the yard like that?" Yue Chengyu was puzzled. His own mansion was not bad at all.

"Why else? Life is convenient and comfortable."

"It seems that the princess is not very satisfied with this palace!"

"The palace is very beautiful and luxurious. But, Your Majesty, you must understand that there is a generational gap. Just like how life is much better now than it was three or four hundred years ago, there are many things we have that the Dai Viet Dynasty couldn't enjoy."

Yue Chengyu nodded in agreement. "Then why is there no sign of anything in the general's mansion? The princess didn't take anything out."

"Do you believe me when I say that in my time you could only buy things the night before your wedding?" What could Ye Han do? Ye Han expressed that he was helpless.

"Only the day before the wedding?"

"Yeah, if I had known about this benefit, I should have found someone to marry right after my coming-of-age ceremony. Why wait until now..." Ye Han was so excited about chatting that he confessed his identity so openly that he forgot what year it was! He blurted out something quickly, and when he realized what was going on, he quickly stopped, laughed awkwardly twice, and took a sip of his tea to cover it up.

Yue Chengyu glanced at Ye Han, who was pretending to be calm, but he didn't expose her or respond to her. After all, Yue Chengyu didn't care what Ye Han thought at the moment, as long as she didn't foolishly cause trouble for him. Of course, Yue Chengyu never expected that he would be jealous because of this sentence after he didn't care at the moment.

Of course, this has no effect on Yue Chengyu at the moment.

"Then how can you be sure that the king will believe you? How can you be sure that the king or the higher-ups won't treat you as a monster and execute you?"

"Your Highness is obviously full of wisdom and not a pedantic person."

"Princess, there's no need to flatter me. I won't accept it."

"Haha, liven up the atmosphere, liven up the atmosphere." Then he said seriously, "I'm not sure, but through my observations during this period of time, I really feel that the prince is not a pedantic person, so I decided to give it a try. What's more, the prince is wholeheartedly for the good of the Great Viet Dynasty. I believe the prince will be interested in what I said, "It will be of certain benefit to the development of the Great Viet Dynasty." Ye Han raised his eyebrows at Yue Chengyu and looked at him steadily.

Yue Chengyu looked at Ye Han and suddenly smiled. "The princess is indeed smart, but I don't particularly like people who are too smart." Yue Chengyu said slowly.

"So, Your Highness, what benefits are you not interested in?" Ye Han ignored Yue Chengyu and asked again whether he was interested.

"That depends on how much leverage the princess has."

"What if I say we can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu?"

Yue Chengyu stood up with a rustling sound, his chair scraping against the ground. "What? What did you say?" His voice was questioning and trembling. You have to remember that during the Great Viet Dynasty, an acre of fertile land only yielded about 400 kilograms in a good harvest. A 1,000 kilogram per acre was a huge achievement. It was no wonder Yue Chengyu was so excited. Food had been the foundation of the world since ancient times.

"I said, we can buy grain seeds that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu. Is Your Highness interested?" Ye Han repeated.

"Do you really mean what the princess said?"

"Of course, we'll know after trying it. I can't run away from here."

"Princess, please tell me in detail. What is the specific yield per mu? Are the soil requirements strict? Is it difficult to grow?" Yue Chengyu still couldn't calm down and asked immediately.
