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

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Safety First (Third Update)_1 Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Safety First (Third Update)_1 Qiao Xiaomai was stunned upon hearing these words, then shook her head and said, “Of course not. I’m just a village girl from Anping Village. My great-grandmother had already passed away when I was born.”

“Then how come the food you cook has a fragrance similar to that rice?” Yang Wenxiao continued to ask.

“Your Highness, I guess it’s just a coincidence,” she replied.

“A coincidence?” Yang Wenxiao looked her up and down, his face clearly unconvinced, “How come you’re the only one in the whole of Daqi with this kind of coincidence?”

“I don’t know either.” Qiao Xiaomai opened her eyes wide and met Yang Wenxiao’s gaze, neither dodging nor avoiding, “Maybe it’s fate? Otherwise, why would I be so set on Tong Sanlang?”

Yang Wenxiao, “… Then let your fate do another trick and make the food you cook have magical energy.”

A troubled expression instantly appeared on Qiao Xiaomai’s face, “I’m just a mortal, how can I do the deeds of a deity?”

Yang Wenxiao heard this, lowered his eyes, and said no more.

After a long while, he lifted his head to look at Qiao Xiaomai again, “Have you delivered it to the Emperor and the Crown Prince?”

“I have.”

“You and your husband should go down as well. Sanlang exerted a lot of effort today; he must be tired,” Yang Wenxiao said.

“Should we two stay behind to keep you company?”

“No need, go down. I want some peace and quiet,” Yang Wenxiao said, his body leaning back down.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai exchanged a glance with Tong Sanlang. They both stood up, moved gently, and exited the grand hall.

The two of them returned to their room in the rear palace in silence, and Qiao Xiaomai, noticing the dust on Tong Sanlang’s clothes, asked the palace maid to heat some water, intending for him to bathe.

“You really are a hero, going after Jia Cheng all by yourself,” she recalled the anxiety of the ordeal and couldn’t help but raise her hand and slap Tong Sanlang hard, “You’re only flesh and blood, what if you had been poisoned? You want me to become a widow?!”

Her strength was considerable, not holding back at all. Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but hiss in pain and raised his hand to rub the shoulder that had been hit.

Seeing his reaction, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but strike his other shoulder, “Do you want me to become a widow or what?!”

With both sides hurting, Tong Sanlang grimaced, his handsome face completely contorted.

“Wasn’t I just struggling for our better days in the future? Fortune comes with risks. With the situation as it was, I couldn’t wait for the main forces to arrive.”

“Besides, my Martial Arts skills are excellent. The tunnel was less than a meter high, normal people would have to bend over to walk in it, but Jia Cheng was crawling on the ground, which made him much slower. I used my light body technique; my body could directly fly sideways in there, catching him was just a matter of raising my hand.”

“Look, I only got a little dust on me,”

While saying this, Tong Sanlang spun around in a circle to prove he really was unharmed.

Qiao Xiaomai still couldn’t resist glaring at him, “And you think you’re in the right?!”

“I’m not, I’m wrong, I won’t do this again,” Tong Sanlang immediately admitted fault, “Hit me, you can hit me as much as you like.”

Qiao Xiaomai glared at him, her cheeks puffed up in anger, but she couldn’t help raising her hand to hit him again, “You don’t have to try so hard to the point of death, just make it look good on the surface, safety first.”

She naturally understood Tong Sanlang’s actions at the time.

But understanding didn’t prevent her from still feeling afraid when she thought about it now.

Seeing Yang Wenxiao’s reaction, she once again deeply realized that there was nothing more valuable than a human life.

If life is gone, then everything is gone.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang pursed his lips and raised his hand to embrace her, “I know.”
