Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Reprimand_1 Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Reprimand_1 Tong Sanlang fell silent, merely gazing at Yang Wenxiao.

Bai Zhi was clearly provoking him deliberately. His status was different from Bai Zhi’s, and since the sequence of events had already been clarified, the decision was now up to Yang Wenxiao.

Yang Wenxiao changed his sitting posture and looked towards Qiao Xiaomai, “Qiao Xiaomai, tell me why you ridiculed Zhi’er in public?”

“In reply to the Grand Emperor, I did not ridicule the princess. I made some inferences based on the princess’s words. The princess said that the pigs and chickens we brought from home would make the Capital City smell like feces, which I felt was incorrect, so I said a few more words.”

“Oh?” Yang Wenxiao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, “You brought pigs and chickens here?”

“Yes,” Qiao Xiaomai answered.

“Where are they?”

“They are in the carriage at the Palace gates.”

“Slaughter one tomorrow,” Yang Wenxiao ordered.

Ever since he had found out there was a problem in the Imperial Kitchen, he seldom ate meat.

Having eaten vegetarian for so long, he couldn’t help but salivate at the thought of the various meat dishes that Qiao Xiaomai had prepared.

He drooled with anticipation.

This was something that hadn’t happened in many years.

He shifted his sitting posture again, “Where are you two staying?”

“Before coming to the Capital City, I entrusted Extreme Flavor Inn to rent a small courtyard in the Capital City,” Qiao Xiaomai replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao’s gaze swept over Shopkeeper Hong, “Where is this small courtyard?”

Shopkeeper Hong quickly responded, “In reply to the Grand Emperor, it’s in the alley behind the Extreme Flavor Inn.”

Yang Wenxiao nodded and said, “The two of you brought so many animals. Can you fit them all in that small courtyard? There are many nobles in that area; don’t disturb them. I think it’s better for this couple to stay in Da’an Palace.”

The moment these words were spoken, everyone in the grand hall was taken aback.

Tong Sanlang was but a minor candidate, yet he had caught the eye of Yang Wenxiao and was to stay in Da’an Palace?

And it was even after he had bullied Bai Zhi, who was still standing right there!

Bai Zhi quickly recovered from her shock and immediately said in a loud voice, “Grandpa Emperor, are you just going to let it go, the way this couple has bumped into me and bullied me?!”

Yang Wenxiao looked at her upon hearing this, his face showing a helpless expression, “It was just a few words of dispute, and since you are unharmed, let the matter be.”

“The husband hit me in public, and the wife insulted me in public. Grandpa Emperor, they did not just hit and insult me, they hit and insulted the face of the Royal Family!” Bai Zhi couldn’t help but stamp her foot, her cheeks flushing with urgency.

“What hitting? Was it not a discussion of Martial Arts?” Yang Wenxiao clicked his tongue, “You can’t expect not to be struck during a discussion. It’s common for one to be unable to control their force sometimes when they do strike.”

“As for insulting, I don’t think it counts. At least your saying that the Capital City would be tainted with the smell of feces was quite wrong. There are many people in the Capital City who raise pigs and chickens. Do you smell feces now?”

“Besides, he, Tong Sanlang, might be a countryman, but he has also earned his qualifications and is a candidate recognized by Daqi, entitled to a yearly stipend when he comes to the Capital to attend the Palace Examination.”

“Your consistent references to ‘village woman’ and ‘uncouth countryman’–don’t they count as verbal attacks?”

As Yang Wenxiao said this, he let out a light sigh, a look of melancholy appearing on his face, “My Yang Family took over the world just over fifty years ago. Back then, my Yang Family was also digging in the ground for food. It seems many people have forgotten this fact.”

“Many may forget, but those of the Yang Family cannot. To forget our roots signifies arrogance. And with arrogance comes the proximity to ruin.”

Yang Wenxiao stood up as he spoke, his gaze sweeping across the audience in the grand hall. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he couldn’t help but sigh again.
