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

Chapter 1133: Chapter 1133: Actual Efficacy (7th Update)_1 Chapter 1133: Chapter 1133: Actual Efficacy (7th Update)_1 “I just can’t stand Tong Sanlang, so I schemed against him. Besides, this is also what Tong Sanlang’s parents asked for. Your Majesty, if you really want to punish someone, Tong Sanlang’s parents can’t escape the blame either.”

Bai Zhi didn’t betray Yao Xian, and took all the responsibility upon herself.

Moreover, the matter was mainly orchestrated by her; Yao Xian merely gave some advice at a crucial point. She didn’t have any evidence to prove Yao Xian’s involvement with the matter.

Emperor Yong’an saw that although she bowed her head, her face still wore an unconvinced expression. He sighed lightly, “Filial piety has its place. As long as Tong Sanlang’s parents didn’t kill him, their issues are domestic matters, and I have no place to intervene.”

“As for you, if you think the Bai Family’s wealth is too substantial, you can cause all the trouble you want. As long as no lives are lost, I’ll let you offset the crimes with silver. After you return, ask your great-grandfather and see if the Bai Family’s wealth can cover for you multiple times.”

Bai Zhi “…”

She ground her teeth and remained silent.

Seeing this, Emperor Yong’an waved his hand for her to leave.

This Bai Zhi, whenever it came to Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai, she’d lose her senses.

Alas, what a headache.

Da’an Palace.

Yang Wenxiao leisurely sipped his tea and listened to Tong Sanlang recount the specific details.

After hearing it all, he curved his lips in a cold smile, “The Zhao family is really willing to give up its mistress of the house.”

“Does this indicate that the Zhao family’s silver isn’t abundant?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

“No, Zhao Ende is reluctant. During the previous dynasty, there were over a hundred official members of the Zhao family alone, scattered all over, holding various positions. The Zhao family also owned a lot of land. Depending on taxing the commoners, the amount of silver in the Zhao family… Tsk.”

“The last ruler of the previous dynasty prided himself on having taste, not caring for gold and silver but instead favoring antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and other delicate and valuable items, which is why the National Treasury had little gold and silver but many artifacts.”

“If the ruler didn’t care for gold and silver, then the world’s wealth would flow towards those Aristocratic Families. The Zhao family now only has a handful of officials, and their land has been significantly reduced. With fewer ways to extort silver, naturally, the Zhao family is unwilling to part with forty million taels.”

“But no matter, this matter will be remembered,” Yang Wenxiao said as he set down his teacup and looked at Qiao Xiaomai with a serious expression. “It’s almost time Jia Cheng mentioned. The Emperor and the others… currently show no signs of the poison acting up. What do you think, was what Jia Cheng said that day true or false?”

“Hmm…” Qiao Xiaomai turned her head and exchanged a glance with Tong Sanlang, then pursed her lips and said, “It should be true.”

“I sent people to the land of the Hell Flower to investigate, but it’s a long journey, and so far, no news has come back.” Yang Wenxiao sighed at her words.

Of course, he hoped what Jia Cheng said was false, but Jia Cheng wasn’t afraid of being exposed after the event. According to normal logic, Jia Cheng’s words should be true.

“Tong Sanlang, come with me to Wang Residence,” Yang Wenxiao stood up.

Jia Cheng said Yang Wang was unaware, and he wasn’t originally planning to bother with Yang Wang.

But now that the Emperor and others showed no signs of addiction, he became unsettled.

This kind of anxious and worrying emotion was truly disturbing.

Qiao Xiaomai watched Yang Wenxiao’s imperial carriage leave, blinking her watery, peach-blossom eyes.

The Emperor and the others hadn’t shown signs of addiction because they had been drinking her Spiritual Spring water every day!

Jia Cheng’s words must be true; now the time had come, and yet the addiction didn’t manifest, which was the merit of her Spiritual Spring water.

Her previous guess hadn’t been wrong; the soups and waters she’d been making during this period weren’t in vain. Her Spiritual Spring water now carried the essence of the Divine Liquid and had actual effects.
