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

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: A Bold Idea (Fourth Update)_1 Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: A Bold Idea (Fourth Update)_1 The situation was imperative.

He had to step up at that time.

He deliberately returned to the Palace to inquire with the people from the Imperial Kitchen and learned that Jia Cheng knew no Martial Arts. A chef without Martial Arts skills–and he didn’t dare to chase after him–that would mean he could forget about earning Yang Wenxiao’s trust in the future.

Fortunately, there were no issues.

It wouldn’t happen again next time.

If it wasn’t his family’s issue, as long as it looked good on the surface, that was enough.

Thinking back on the night’s events, he sighed softly, “Being an Emperor also has its downsides, countless eyes watching, carefully plotting to snatch away the throne. One moment of negligence, and the whole family is doomed.”

“There’s so much in this world that is unknown; you never know when you might be struck down.”

“Our way of life is better, living days peacefully and stably.”

Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips and stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist, “What about the current situation? What should we do?”

“Actually, I have a bold idea,” Tong Sanlang said.

“Hmm? What idea?”

“Since the Retired Emperor believes Liuli’s descendants are still around, let’s just pretend to be Liuli’s descendants and use Liuli’s name to whitewash the treasure situation. How about that?”

“How do we pretend?” Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but lift her head, withdrawing from his embrace to look up at him with a puzzled expression, “Yang Wenxiao needs the Divine Liquid most right now, but I can’t take out the Divine Liquid from my space. Without Divine Liquid, how can we pretend?”

“Do more good deeds, strive to upgrade the space as quickly as possible,” Tong Sanlang said, “Hmm… What good deeds should we do?”

Good deeds that could upgrade the space would inevitably have a wide reach; the gratitude of just one or two people wouldn’t suffice.

“Er… How about I look into soap? Releasing the recipe for soap at a very low cost?” suggested Tong Sanlang.

“How is that doing good deeds? Soap is made by boiling lard; common people can’t afford to use lard so casually, can they?”

Poor families didn’t even have lard to eat, let alone use lard-made soap for bathing.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang took a deep breath, “What should we do then? The addiction is going to flare up in just seven or eight days.”

“Does building roads count as a good deed?” asked Qiao Xiaomai.

“Of course it does.”

“Then let’s build roads!” Qiao Xiaomai’s mind raced, and elaborating on Tong Sanlang’s earlier words, she slowly said, “We could use the name of Liuli’s descendants to ask Emperor Yong’an and others to endure for three months. During these three months, we’ll have the Yang Family build more roads.”

“With more roads built, maybe I could take out that drop of Divine Liquid from my space within three months, right?”

“We’ll say that Divine Liquid requires nurturing from the essence of heaven and earth and that it will only be available after three months. Let them wait patiently. With something to look forward to, even if they suffer during these months, they won’t despair.”

As Qiao Xiaomai spoke, she looked at Tong Sanlang, seeking his opinion with her gaze.

Tong Sanlang looked at her, “What if we still can’t get the Divine Liquid after three months?”

“Then we’ll set the deadline for half a year or even a year,” said Qiao Xiaomai.

Tong Sanlang, “…Can they hold on? Isn’t it said that the pain from the poison is worse than death?”

“It’s still better than death.” As long as they were alive, there was hope.

With this thought, Qiao Xiaomai patted his shoulder and said with determination, “Let’s do it this way! We’ll say it needs a year. The Yang Family must endure this year no matter what.”

“If Liuli’s descendants really exist and they produce the Divine Liquid, then we will have another layer of protection, and the Yang Family won’t harm us.”
