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

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Heading to Bai Residence_1 Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Heading to Bai Residence_1 Shen Chenghao stroked his beard, “I will have my wife enter the Palace to meet Her Majesty the Empress tomorrow.”

Although he had never tasted Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking, he believed in his son.

If Yao Xian wanted a contest with Qiao Xiaomai, there had to be a valid reason; otherwise, what would it matter if she were the Empress?

He had even dared to defy Emperor Yong’an’s direct orders, let alone Yao Xian’s unreasonable demands.

“Father, please reconsider. Xiaomai’s culinary skills truly reign supreme in Daqi. Do not act impulsively,” Shen Bai pleaded upon hearing this.

Shen Chenghao glanced at him, “I know.”

Now that Xiaomai and the Jiwei Inn were one, he couldn’t let her become a stepping stone for the chefs he had spent so much time and effort acquiring.

Bai Zhi overheard this and rolled her eyes, “Such a coward.”

Seeing this, Shen Chenghao raised his hand and stroked his beard again without uttering a word.

He didn’t take such a trivial girl like Bai Zhi seriously.

Meanwhile, Yang Wenxiao was looking for people in the manner of hunting a wanted criminal, offering a thousand taels silver as a reward. Ordinary folks couldn’t resist such temptation, so someone who had seen Tong Xingda, the Zhang Family, and Qiao Meipan immediately stepped forward to report: The three had inquired about the Bai Residence’s location and had gone there.

The Bai Residence, the sole prince’s residence in the Capital City without royal blood ties, became the focus of the Imperial Guards when they got wind of this update and promptly arrived to question them.

When Bai Zhi returned to the Bai Residence, she bumped into the Imperial Guards who had come to seek information. She thought for a moment but didn’t go up to stop them.

Once she entered the residence, she headed straight for the Guest House.

Da’an Palace.

The Imperial Guards received accurate information and immediately went back to the Palace to report to Yang Wenxiao.

Yang Wenxiao was having dinner with Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai. Sitting at the dining table, they were informed that Tong Xingda and company had actually gone to the Bai Residence. Yang Wenxiao instantly turned to Tong Sanlang, “Do your parents have any relationship with the Bai Residence?”

“No relationship,” Tong Sanlang immediately shook his head.

Xiaomai’s dark eyes whirled, and she spoke up, “When two unrelated people suddenly come together, it’s often a sign of trouble brewing.”

They claimed to be engaged in business to ease their minds, but ended up at the Bai Residence.

Most likely, they were joining forces with Bai Zhi to come after her, right?

Impressive.

Truly impressive.

To think that someone with Tong Xingda’s intellect could come up with such a strategy and even make the long journey to carry it out. Remarkable.

“Tong Sanlang, your parents rarely come to the Capital City, and staying at the home of their enemy is like stepping into a tiger’s den. I think you should go now and get them out, find an Inn to settle them in,” Yang Wenxiao suggested.

“I’ll do that right away,” Tong Sanlang stood up, “Your Highness, I…”

Before he could finish, Yang Wenxiao interrupted him, waving his hand dismissively, “Go on, have Gao Lian accompany you.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Tong Sanlang quickly expressed his gratitude.

As a mere successful candidate in the imperial examination, he would ordinarily not even be allowed through the Wang Residence’s front door. But now, with Gao Lian by his side, even Old Lord Wang would have to show some respect.

Xiaomai watched Tong Sanlang’s silhouette disappear into the night, pursed her lips, and continued eating with her chopsticks.

Yang Wenxiao watched her little act with a half-smile and said, “If you had agreed to Yeye’s proposal to come to the Capital City and marry into the Yang Family, you would never encounter such a problem with your mother-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai quickly squeezed out a sincere but forced smile on her face, “Wherever the husband goes, the wife follows. I accept my fate.”

Not have any problems with the mother-in-law?

He really must be getting senile in his old age; Yao Xian had just recently feigned poisoning and tried to frame her!
