Gu Jingchun took this opportunity to promote Shen Hechuan, silently helping him.
It was also a silent gesture of goodwill towards Shen Hechuan.
After all, she had come here without saying a word, and she was afraid that Shen Hechuan would lose his temper and think that she was going to run away again.
However, Gu Jingchun did not want Shen Hechuan to know that she was her adoptive mother.
That's why she knocked out those guards and sent them back.
As for the clever Shen Hechuan, he naturally guessed Gu Jingchun's thoughts.
However, this also made him increasingly curious about why Gu Jingchun had rushed back to Qi County in such a hurry.
Of course, what angered Shen Hechuan even more was why Ye Wenxi, that pretty boy, could be with her, but he couldn't?
However, what Shen Hechuan didn't expect was that when these guards returned, they brought back a "good thing".
Shen Hechuan looked at the round, yellowish object inside the bundle with some confusion.
Tianji behind him also exclaimed in surprise immediately.
"Oh! Your Highness, what is this?"
"This looks strange?"
Shen Hechuan opened the envelope inside the bundle.
The discovery revealed a detailed record of the plant's name, uses, and cultivation methods.
He closed the letter, and at that moment, his desire to see Gu Jingchun reached its peak once again.
He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down before saying:
"This is called a potato. It can fill your stomach after being cooked, and it has an excellent yield, is very easy to grow, and is drought resistant."
This is also the most suitable crop for the people of Qi County to grow right now.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his voice and murmured.
"She really did help me solve another big problem."

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous little mountain village in Qingfeng Town.
Gu Jingchun's carriage slowly drove in.
This village is called Qingfeng Village. Because of its remote location and proximity to the mountains, it is extremely inconvenient to go out, so there are not many residents.
However, because of the lack of information, even the slightest commotion in the village would attract the attention of the entire village.
Therefore, when the carriage drove in, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone dropped what they were holding and rushed over, staring longingly at the magnificent carriage.
"Where did this wealthy family come from, and why are they back in our small mountain village?"
As the group was about to step forward to ask questions, the carriage sped off, passing them directly towards the foot of the mountain.
"That's...that seems to be heading in the direction of the Mei family?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
"Could it be that the Mei family's runaway daughter has returned?"
Over the years, the villagers have watched the Mei family's life get better and better.
Although the little house is still the same as before.
However, sharp-eyed people immediately noticed that the displays and furnishings inside were completely different from before.
Some people who were on good terms with Mei Xueli went to the Mei family to borrow bowls and chopsticks.
Upon taking a look, I discovered that the porcelain glaze was exquisite, clearly not an ordinary item. Fearing that she might break it, I returned it to her.
Gu Jingchun has rarely returned in recent years.
The people were curious about Gu Jingchun's current appearance, so they quickly followed him over.
When the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, Gu Jingchun slowly got off, and the people around him gasped.
"My goodness, I think this girl is even more beautiful than before. Look at her demeanor, she's like a noblewoman."
A woman exclaimed in surprise.
But the woman next to her was very unconvinced. She glanced at her with disdain before speaking sourly.
"snort!"
What's the use of beauty?
"She's not even married yet and already has such a big child. What man would want a woman like that who's so promiscuous?"
After she finished speaking, as if to confirm her words, she turned and glanced at her husband.
"Don't you think so?"
But the man beside him was mesmerized by Gu Jingchun's gaze.
"Pfft—" The people around burst into laughter.
Feeling humiliated, she kicked him hard before storming off in a huff.
After she left, someone let out a cold snort.
"Even her own man was mesmerized by her, and she kept saying that since she had a child, she didn't have a man to take care of."
"How ridiculous!"
"It seems that only women know how to make things difficult for other women in this world."
After the man finished speaking, Gu Jingchun had already entered the courtyard.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the people around left.
Gu Jingchun returned to the courtyard where he grew up and was immediately filled with many emotions.
However, she didn't have time to look around and immediately rushed into the room.
At this moment, Mei Xueli was lying in bed.
Her face was pale. Hearing the noise at the door, she immediately sat up and looked towards the door with difficulty.
But because he moved too quickly, he couldn't help but cough violently.
Gu Jingchun quickly stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and patted her back to help her catch her breath while speaking.
"Mom, slow down!"
"Are you still feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Xueli shook her head. After calming down, she leaned against the bed and looked at Gu Jingchun with affection.
Her hands trembled as she stepped forward.
Gu Jingchun immediately lowered his head and placed his face in her hands.
Mei Xueli placed her trembling hand on Gu Jingchun's face and gently touched it.
"You've lost weight?"
Mei Xueli's voice trembled slightly.
