Shopkeeper Fang responded quickly. He thought the young lady was going to get some strawberries, and he was so happy. But in the blink of an eye, he saw the young lady carrying a basket of peaches. Not only were they fresh, but they were even bigger than an adult man's fist!
"I know you've worked hard, so I got something good for you. Take it home and enjoy it. I'll have someone deliver the strawberries to you shortly."
Shopkeeper Fang rubbed his hands together and carefully took it. This peach was more precious than a strawberry, and the bitterness in his heart immediately disappeared. "Thank you, Madam, for thinking of me. From now on, I will follow you till death. If you say east, I won't go west. If you say beat the dog, I won't chase the chicken."
Ke Xin laughed out loud. It was a good thing Fei Yang didn't hear it, otherwise he might have said something about how fickle the shopkeeper was.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We all know how sincere you are, and we won't let you down. Just work hard from now on. It'll be good for you, for me, and for everyone else!"
Shopkeeper Fang chuckled and responded, "Okay, young madam. I'll go back and wait."
Ke Xinmu saw the man off and turned to the greenhouse to find Liu Feiyang chewing on a cucumber. "Don't eat anymore. I want you to take me out and get all the strawberries out of the space. Now is the perfect time to ship them to the capital and sell them."
Liu Feiyang hummed, "Then let Xiaowu drive the carriage to send it to him. I will tell Xiaowu not to tell anyone."
It’s such a simple thing, why bother telling others about it!
Ke Xin frowned: "Can it be done?"
"What's wrong? As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, he won't be able to figure it out even if he scratches his head. Besides, he is someone I trust, don't worry!"
Since he said so, I guess Xiaowu must have his merits.
Ke Xin went to the carriage. Liu Feiyang sat at the bow of the carriage, eating a cucumber and keeping watch for her. Inside the carriage, Ke Xin was busy in the space, placing the strawberries one by one in the boxes, and covering them with layers of strawberry leaves.
In a short while, the carriage was filled with boxes of strawberries, and there were still many left unpicked. She hesitated and didn't start.
"Okay." Ke Xin opened the door of the carriage and whispered to the people: "Don't forget to tell Xiao Wu not to tell anyone!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
When Xiaowu received the task, although he was surprised, he was smart enough not to ask a single question. He turned around and drove away in the carriage.
When he came back, he held a stack of banknotes and respectfully handed them to Kexin: "Madam, the total is 235 jin. This is a banknote for 1,000 liang. The shopkeeper said that the extra amount will be deducted next time."
Ke Xin took the banknote and said "OK" softly.
Ever since Xiaowu was dragged into this, Kexin has been delivering strawberries to Manager Fang almost twice a day. She can deliver four to five hundred kilograms a day and earn two thousand taels of silver every day. Kexin is so happy.
In the bed, Liu Feiyang played with her long hair, his eyes shining: "My wife, I have good news for you!"
Ke Xin, who was counting the banknotes, looked up and hummed, "What good news?"
"Beichen is about to die from the poison. The terminally ill man vomited blood and fainted on the spot when he heard that Beichen was poisoned. I'm afraid he's about to pass away!"
This was the best news he had heard since he met Liu Feiyang. He immediately stood up and asked, "Did the ministers say who poisoned him? Did they guess it was your cousin?"
He smiled and shook his head: "The one who poisoned her was a concubine in Beichen Mansion. She used a love potion, but our people replaced the poison and hid it in her room. Moreover... this concubine belonged to Prince Ling."
Based on what Liu Feiyang had instilled in her these days about the strength of the capital, Ke Xin knew that Prince Ling's biological mother was a foot-washing maid, and she was not crowned king until she reached adulthood, which showed that the emperor did not like him either.
The current God has six sons in total. The legitimate son is Bei Ming, whose biological mother is the queen.
The second prince, Beichen Cong, the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, was named Prince Rong at the age of thirteen.
The fifth prince, Beiling, was the Prince of Ling. His mother was his foot-washing maid.
The third and fourth princes drowned while playing in the water when they were six or seven years old.
The Sixth Prince is also the Emperor's son in his old age. He is very much loved by the Emperor. Now that he has learned to speak, he follows the Emperor around and calls him "Father" in a soft and cute manner. He has not even started to learn this yet, but he has already been called "Father" by the King of Freedom.
As of now, the only ones who can compete with Beiming for the position of crown prince are Prince Rong and Prince Ling. Now one of them is poisoned and the other one poisoned someone else, so...Pluto still has the greatest chance of ascending to the top, and he is also the legitimate eldest son.
Ke Xin smiled and turned over: "That's right, if things continue like this, we'll see results soon!"
The latter just smiled. He was also looking forward to the subsequent developments. He really hoped that his cousin would sit on it as soon as possible so that he wouldn't have to pretend to be sick and accept the caring looks from others every day.
"My dear, now that we have finished telling the good news, we are not far from being liberated. Is it time to do something meaningful?"
"Hmm?" Something meaningful?
Ke Xin turned her head and saw the corners of his mouth curled up, with a wicked smile in his eyes: "I think we should do something bad!"
After saying that, she turned the tables and wanted to be the queen today!
It was a cold night, but the temperature in the house was gradually rising...
About ten days later, at noon, two carriages arrived from the Jiang family.
When Ke Xin and Fei Yang got the news, they thought it was the mastermind behind the incident, but who knew it was Bei Ming's confidant who came.
"This subordinate pays respects to Master Liu and Madam Liu!"
Liu Feiyang gave him a false helping hand: "Yan Rong, encourage him, how is my cousin now?"
He stood up and said with a smile: "The prince has been canonized as the crown prince and is now the regent."
When everyone heard the news, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were far away from the capital and did not feel this strange storm, they still felt oppressive.
"That's good. My illness needs to get better immediately, otherwise my parents-in-law will always worry about my daughter-in-law becoming a widow!"
He said it as a joke, but who knows the pain in his heart!
Yan Rong bowed, "Master Liu, you've worked hard. Master knows all about it. He sent his subordinates to inform you right after the crown prince was appointed, and brought a cart of high-quality medicinal herbs. He also told Master Liu that Prince Rong had passed away last night and Prince Ling was thrown into death row. This morning, Master said that the emperor is now in a deep coma and won't have much time left."
When Liu Feiyang heard the news, he wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate. His cousin had been living in misfortune for many years, and his aunt had to be very careful every day, for fear that any carelessness would bring trouble to his mother's family.
"Stay tonight and don't leave until you're drunk. We have to celebrate in advance!"
Yan Rong really wanted to have a good drink, but he had other things to do and couldn't stay any longer. He politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I still have a mission to complete. When you return to the capital, I will treat you to a good drink."
Liu Feiyang did not try to persuade him to stay. After the sound was good, Yan Rong left his things and left.
