"Oh, I see..." Liu Yingying nodded casually, then picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips.
Zhu Ziqian stared intently at her, and when he saw that she had stopped and hadn't drunk the tea, he became a little anxious.
Just then, the sound of porcelain falling and shattering came from inside the house.
Zhu Ziqian immediately turned to look into the room, "Zhao Di, what are you doing?"
Today, he wanted to make Liu Yingying drink the problematic tea, so he deliberately sent several children away beforehand.
But Zhao Di said she wanted to find something her mother had buried in the backyard.
Zhu Ziqian figured it wouldn't interfere with his business, so he let her be.
"I'm sorry, Father, I accidentally knocked something over. I'll put it back right away..." Zhao Di's reply came from the backyard.
"Okay, be careful, don't hurt yourself!" Zhu Ziqian said with some annoyance, then turned to look at Liu Yingying;
"Yingying, isn't this tea good? Why aren't you drinking it?"
A smile that he couldn't understand appeared on Liu Yingying's lips as she drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
Seeing that she finally drank the tea, Zhu Ziqian finally felt relieved.
He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Liu Yingying: "I've drunk the tea, now you should give me the divorce papers, right?"
Zhu Ziqian said, "Yingniang, don't worry. I will give you the divorce papers. However, such an important matter needs to be informed of the clan elders so that they can be witnesses. Please wait for two more days."
He added "Three-Day Soul-Forgetting Powder" to this tea.
As the name suggests, this poison does not cause immediate symptoms.
The actual onset occurred three days later.
At that time, the poisoned person's memory will get worse and worse, they will start to forget many things, and their reactions will become slower and slower... until they finally go completely insane and become mentally impaired.
Zhu Ziqian never considered divorce; he had already married a woman in the capital.
Then Liu Yingying has no choice but to die!
In this way, he will not be criticized for abandoning his wife and remarrying.
If a person who is mentally unstable suddenly falls into the water and dies, it will not arouse suspicion from others.
Liu Yingying remained calm; "It's alright, I can wait!"
Zhu Ziqian is the one who can't wait.
If things aren't handled properly here, I'm afraid he won't be able to explain himself to the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family when he gets back!
Liu Yingying got up and left.
She's very busy right now and barely stayed in the village; she went to Yujiachang instead…
In less than a month, the large farm in Yujiachang had already taken shape.
However, the farm was too large, and Huo Huaizhi couldn't possibly have all his soldiers farm it.
Only about twenty people were sent to guard the area, in order to prevent the foreign tribes from the southern border from looting.
Apart from that, Liu Yingying handed over all the management to Wang Dabing.
It was precisely because of this that the Wang family stood firmly on her side when she clashed with Zhu Ziqian.
Even if Zhu Ziqian wins, it might not necessarily benefit them.
But Liu Yingying was truly their provider!
Today, Liu Yingying owns three large farms, the smallest of which is Taoyuan Village Farm.
It started as a few hundred acres, but now it has expanded to nearly two thousand acres.
Liu Yingying would personally go to inspect the area on weekdays, but Jin Wu was mainly in charge.
The agricultural products grown are mainly used as raw materials in a few small workshops.
The farm in Baotian Town has now expanded to more than 3,000 mu, mainly used for growing grain.
Due to the lack of technology, the grain yield in this era was extremely low, which meant that many farmers would work hard all year round, but if the harvest was bad, they would still starve to death.
The rice and wheat grown in Baotian Town are all new seedlings cultivated in later generations, with a yield of nearly 2,000 catties per mu!
I believe that in a few months, the grain yield under Liu Yingying's control will shock the entire Great Xia!
At that time, she will be the leading grain merchant not only in Great Xia, but also in all other countries!
Huo Huaizhi was overjoyed to learn of her arrival and personally rode to Yujiachang to see her.
"Madam Liu, have you finished with everything at home?"
Otherwise, why would I have time to come here?
Liu Yingying nodded; "It's about time, so I'll come over and check on how the crops are growing."
Huo Huaizhi then personally led her on a long walk around the edge of the field.
The wheat seeds have only just sprouted, and the harvest will take at least three to four months.
However, the radishes, cabbages, watercress, tomatoes, and other vegetables that were planted are already ready to be cooked.
This has largely solved the problem of food for the Zhennan Army.
"Madam Liu, the soldiers of Zhennan Army are very grateful to you. If it weren't for your help, the brothers would probably still be starving!" Huo Huaizhi said sincerely.
Liu Yingying smiled faintly; "Generals and soldiers protect their country, and I am but a woman who has done my part!"
The light in Huo Huaizhi's eyes dimmed slightly.
Actually, he was always very happy whenever he saw Liu Yingying.
Even when Liu Yingying spoke to him politely and gently, she always gave off a faint sense of distance.
It's like having a spring breeze all around you, yet being unable to touch it no matter what you do...
Liu Yingying did not notice Huo Huaizhi's subtle emotional change. After inspecting the farm, he was quite satisfied with the growth trend of the crops.
It was noon soon. Wang Dabing and his group were staying here, only returning to the village once every ten days or so.
Nowadays, Yujiachang has a staff canteen, and they prepared the meal before inviting Liu Yingying over.
"Sister, let's go eat first, everyone is waiting for you."
