Su Muyao...
"Sorry, I forgot you're royalty."
"Perhaps I am not entirely right, but so many corrupt officials are ignored and wealthy businessmen do not collect more taxes, while the taxes of ordinary people keep rising."
Long Yuan's expression gradually warmed up: "You're quite fearless, daring to say anything."
When you truly understand how those soldiers on the frontier endured the cold winters and days without food, you will realize that even if the people suffer a little, even if some starve to death, it is better than the country being destroyed and the family ruined.
Suddenly, the girl turned around and said, "Then tell me about the border. Since you're a member of the royal family, you'll naturally know more. Anyway, we're just chatting."
"Let me tell you, the tax has been rising again and again. The main reason is that the border is short of food and supplies. The national treasury is not full, but we cannot let the enemy invade."
So even knowing that taking more of these resources might lead some people to eat tree bark or even starve to death, it's still better than having the enemy invade and start massacring them.
"If given a choice, which leader wouldn't want a peaceful and prosperous nation where the people live in harmony?"
Su Muyao remained silent; she knew that what she had just said was wrong.
She subconsciously uses her past life's perspectives to criticize the ancients.
In ancient times, grain yields were already low, and the land was barren.
The planting techniques were also not advanced; they didn't even have sweet potatoes or potatoes, which are the most common crops today, which shows how backward they were.
"Little boy, if you or your family ever need help in the future, you can come to me. I will help you once for free as a way of repaying your previous life-saving grace."
Su Muyao thought that giving him that bottle of spiritual spring water was already a way of repaying his kindness.
But after all, I am also a person of this dynasty. If I really encounter something that he can't solve, it's not unreasonable for me to help him.
If even royalty can't solve this problem, I can't say for sure that I can help, but if I can, I'm willing to help.
I don't know if it was just a passing whim, or if I was influenced by this cute little boy, but I suddenly felt a sense of responsibility for the fate of the nation.
Long Yuan was somewhat bewildered by Su Muyao's seemingly unrelated remark.
"Are you referring to the time I caught you on the street?"
"Yeah, what else did you think?"
Long Yuan suddenly smiled and patted the chubby little bundle sitting next to him.
If I have something I can't solve and need this little guy to solve it, then I think about how amazing her magic potion really is.
However, if I remember correctly, this little guy said that the magic water was no longer available.
Things aren't always absolute; there might come a day when I'll need to bother this little guy.
"Okay, if I need your help then, you must help me!" After saying this, Long Yuan laughed heartily to himself.
What an adorable little guy! \\(\/\/?\/\/)\\
"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest."
After saying that, Long Yuan used a tiptoe to propel himself down.
After Long Yuan had gone far away, Su Muyao cursed under her breath.
"You didn't even bother to lift me down. I even said I'd help you in the future, but you've done nothing."
And so, a little dumpling huffed and puffed as it climbed from the rooftop up into the tree branch, its bottom sticking out.
Then he climbed down the tree using both his hands and feet.
Back in her room, Su Muyao thought of what Long Yuan had said: if the border warriors were ever unable to hold out, she would undoubtedly step in herself.
In this country, I have such a lovely Su family, and the folks in Taoliu Village have all been very kind to me, and I also have the ability and skills to do so.
Especially the tank in the space, which I secretly smuggled into the space when I was trading with the United States.
I've read about how to drive this thing in a book, but it seems like my short and stocky build really doesn't allow me to drive it.
That's not something I should be concerned about right now.
After collecting all the supplies in the space, he finally fell into a sweet sleep.
I slept soundly through the night and woke up to find myself with a cute little boy.
What are you doing in my house so early in the morning?
“I already told Grandpa Su that my house wasn’t finished yet, and I’ll be eating at your house until it’s finished. I’ve already paid for the meals.”
"What the heck? This thing is trying to leech off my house."
"Little chubby girl, don't put it so harshly. How can this be called 'clinging to your family'? I've already paid for the food, haven't I?"
Upon hearing the words uttered by this scoundrel, Su Muyao pounced and knocked Long Yuan to the ground, grabbing his tied-up hair.
"You bastard, how dare you call me a chubby girl? I'll show you what happens when you can't speak properly."
Long Yuan didn't dare to really hurt the little dumpling, so he could only push the little dumpling to the side. But the little dumpling had a strong grip and was pulling on his hair, refusing to let go.
Seeing this, Yingyi immediately turned his face away; this was probably the first time his master had ever been humiliated.
But the steward is right; the Crown Prince already bears too much.
I've never experienced childlike joy. Now, I can only unleash my true nature when I can play with people, and I'm no longer as cold and aloof as before.
Longyuan: You can't possibly play together! I can't even see your prince's head being pulled bald.
"Little chubby girl, let go of me, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
"You bastard, come on, I'm not afraid of you! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. How am I fat? I'm obviously cute."
When Old Man Su came out of the house, he saw two children rolling around in the yard and was quite troubled.
He stepped forward and smacked Su Muyao on the butt.
This completely stunned Su Muyao, and after a long while, she burst into tears.
Old Su stood there, completely stunned. He never expected that his little granddaughter would cry like this just because he had gently patted her bottom.
Grandma Su happened to come out and saw her husband making her granddaughter cry, and she was furious.
The little granddaughter had never cried since she learned to walk, but now, her own old man beat her to tears without even asking what happened. She grabbed a broom from the yard and chased after Old Man Su, giving him a good beating.
Long Yuan was also confused and didn't know how to comfort her.
Su Muyao was so angry that she cried. She never expected that her grandfather would suddenly spank her. This was the first time she had ever been spanked since she was born.
The most crucial point is that it wasn't even her fault; it was clearly this little dog in front of her who claimed to be a fat girl.
No one likes to hear others say they're fat, especially since she is indeed a bit overweight now.
Overwhelmed with grief, Su Muyao didn't even have time for breakfast before returning to her room and bursting into tears under the covers.
The more she cried, the more heartbroken she became, thinking about how she had been working diligently and living on thin ice ever since she arrived here.
I cried like that, and didn't fall asleep until my voice was hoarse from crying all morning.
No one in the family ate breakfast that morning, not even the little boy who had paid for his meals got to eat.
It's a good thing the little boy went back, otherwise Old Man Su would definitely have refunded his food expenses.
If it weren't for him, Old Man Su wouldn't have patted his granddaughter twice. He was just putting on an act; he couldn't bear to actually hit his granddaughter.
But I didn't expect that just two light pats would hurt the little guy, and he cried all morning.
Now, in a secluded place, Old Man Su has been hitting himself countless times, constantly thinking about how delicate his little granddaughter's skin is and how he must have been too rough with those blows to see how much pain she must have felt.
The thought of this made Old Man Su's heart tremble.
