The sugar mill was a complete mess...
My family members were all injured. Fortunately, it was morning, and most of the villagers who worked at the sugar mill had not yet arrived.
If they see someone causing trouble, they certainly won't stand idly by.
If that were the case, even more people would get hurt.
Chen Qingqing instructed the Great Dragon Prince,
"Uncle Da Long, I'm leaving this place to you today. Hurry up and tidy it up."
"Alright, Qing'er, don't worry, I promise I won't delay the sugar making." Da Longzi agreed and got busy.
Chen Qingqing turned to the injured Chen Zhanshan and his wife and Da Bao and said, "Father, Mother, Da Bao, you can all rest today. Your wages will still be paid."
"I just bumped my head, I'll be fine after a rest," Lin said, waving her hand quickly.
Chen Zhanshan shook his head, his face full of indignation, and said, "I'm fine, I can still work. If I hadn't been restrained by Scarface, I would have chopped this fat beast to pieces with an axe."
"Sister Qingqing, I can't rest either. I still have to deliver goods to town today." Da Bao shook his head and refused, covering his swollen face.
Chen Qingqing said in an irrefutable tone, "The delivery isn't urgent. I'll have Uncle Lao Han deliver it in a bit, and we'll settle the payment next time. Okay, you can all go back and rest."
After they left, Chen Qingqing spoke to Wu Baoan.
“Uncle Village Head, after I settle Xiaoyu in, we’ll go to the fields. I’ll personally demonstrate how to plant sugar beets, and you can tell the villagers to come and learn.”
"Qing'er, why don't we go to the fields to demonstrate another day? You should go back and rest for a bit."
"I'm fine."
Chen Qingqing shook her head. It was her suggestion to let the villagers plant sugar beets. Apart from Old Man Chen's family, all the other farmers in the village had signed up. She had to provide guidance. If the planting method was incorrect or something went wrong, she would be letting down the villagers' trust in her.
“Uncle Village Head, the planting season is just around the corner. We need to hurry and not delay the spring planting. But then again, the sugar mill has been built, but the amount of sugar beets is limited. I also want the villagers to grow sugar beets as soon as possible so that we can have a bumper harvest and expand the production of the sugar mill.”
"Good, good, good, Qing girl, you're so thoughtful." Wu Baoan nodded vigorously. "You've made your fortune and you haven't forgotten your fellow villagers. You're a good girl. When the sugar beets are harvested, won't you be hiring more workers?"
"Of course, I'll definitely need Uncle Village Head to help me with the selection!"
"Don't worry, I won't refuse this kind of thing. Okay, you settle Xiaoyu in first, I'll wait for you here."
Chen Qingqing helped Xiaoyu walk home.
Although Xiaoyu was skilled in martial arts, she was still worried about being hit on the head with such a thick wooden stick and had to check her over carefully before she could feel at ease.
If she develops a chronic illness, she won't know how to explain it to his family in the future.
Xiaoyu was supported by Chen Qingqing without any awkwardness or resistance; she had naturally become accustomed to being taken care of by her.
Upon arriving at Xiaoyu's room, Chen Qingqing gave a commanding tone in a natural manner.
"Lie down."
Xiao Yu was taken aback. He knew that Chen Qingqing had taken care of him in the same way before, treating his illness and giving him acupuncture, and he had never felt anything was wrong with it.
But today he was fully awake, and the familiar tone made his ears feel hot involuntarily.
But he still obediently lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and closed his eyes.
Chen Qingqing was unaware that Xiaoyu had already regained consciousness. With a thought, she activated the medical space.
The X-camera began scanning his entire body, and the results came back quickly.
Everything is fine; there is no head injury.
Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaoyu, I've checked you. That blow didn't hurt you. You were just temporarily knocked unconscious. Rest well and you'll be fine after a nap."
Little Fish nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Chen Qingqing gave some more instructions before getting up and leaving the room.
Xiaoyu sat up abruptly, her gaze sharp and clear, no longer showing any sign of confusion.
He remembered everything; he was the Prince of Ning of the current Great Ning Dynasty.
The current emperor's third son holds significant military power.
He went to the battlefield at the age of twelve to lead troops into battle, and was invincible. He was also the war god of the Great Ning Dynasty.
He guarded the western border for eight years, defeating countless attacks from the Western Moon Kingdom.
As long as he is there, the Western Moon Kingdom will not dare to make any moves.
Two years ago, he was summoned back to the capital, and his supporters in the court have been increasing.
This displeased his own brother, the current crown prince.
Despite his distinguished military achievements, he valued brotherhood and never harbored any suspicion towards his elder brother.
Six months ago, the Emperor sent him to Anyang County to investigate the salt smuggling case.
The Crown Prince, under the pretext of a farewell banquet, invited him to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion to see him off.
Little did they know that beneath the friendly smile lay a twisted heart.
Completely unsuspecting, he drank the farewell wine offered to him by the crown prince.
Little did they know that the wine was a slow-acting poison from the Western Regions, and the effects would not appear until a month after ingestion.
Upon arriving in Anyang County, he was met with wave after wave of assassins.
But he completely disregarded these nameless cowards, dealing with wave after wave of them...
But the crown prince hated him to the core and was determined to kill him.
They spared no expense in hiring the most powerful assassins in the martial arts world, the "Black and White Duo," as well as the Western Region Poison King "Zi You," to ambush them along the way.
Upon arriving in Anyang County, he was subjected to repeated assassination attempts by the Poison King and the Black and White Duo, and then the poison took effect.
Two henchmen, Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, lured away the Black and White Duo to protect him.
However, he was poisoned during his fight with Zi You and fell to the bottom of the cliff...
