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

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: The Vitality is Gone (Part Six)_1 Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: The Vitality is Gone (Part Six)_1 “No need, we’ll talk about it when we return to the village. At this moment, if I lay eyes on gold and silver, I’m afraid the image of wealth will never fade from my sight,” Tong Sanlang declined.

Upon hearing his words, Yang Wenxiao immediately burst into laughter, “Alright, I’ll make a note of it here for you, and I’ll give it to you and Xiaomai when you both return to the village.”

“Thank you, Your Imperial Highness,” Tong Sanlang hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

“Done, now you may leave the Palace,” Yang Wenxiao waved his hand and his gaze returned to the Hell’s Flower.

This thing could be used as medicine; in small amounts, it could save lives, but in larger doses, it could kill.

Such a marvelous substance, he had to find someone to study it further.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang saw that his attention had shifted, so they both bowed and took their leave.

Once seated in the carriage leaving the Palace, Qiao Xiaomai recalled the look in Yang Wenxiao’s eyes when he observed the Hell’s Flower and said with certainty, “You see, he will definitely find people to research it, to use humans for experimentation.”

“If I were him, I would experiment too. So many people covet the throne, he needs to think of more ways to save his life. Now that explosives and the Divine Crossbow have been made known to the public, he will surely look for more powerful weapons to keep up his sleeve,” Tong Sanlang said.

On hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai raised her hand and poked his back, “So we should just stick to farming honestly.”

Her nature might be stubborn, but it was indeed soft.

Using people to test poison and thinking all the time about ways to save one’s life, she really couldn’t handle the job of an emperor.

Tong Sanlang nodded slightly.

Indeed, a warm bed with a wife and children sounded much better.

The two chatted idly on their way and soon arrived at Extreme Flavors, where to their surprise, Yu Ang was present in the late afternoon.

Yu Ang originally looked quite young, but having not seen him for a few days, he suddenly seemed to have aged several years, now looking his actual age.

Seeing his changed appearance, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang naturally asked about it.

Yu Ang didn’t conceal anything from them and spoke frankly, “To tell you the truth, even with my stepmother’s letters, my heart is still unwilling.”

He wanted to fight for the throne.

But after witnessing the power of the explosives and the Divine Crossbow Team that day, any lingering stubbornness and unwillingness had to dissipate.

Compared to the Yang Family’s strength, his Tong Family was too weak.

Ridiculously weak.

Acknowledging this fact, the defiant and unwilling spirit in his heart had vanished.

He lost his zest for life and with it, he grew haggard and aged.

Like Tong Xingda with life’s purpose lost, empty-hearted, and in distress.

After hearing his words, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang exchanged glances; Tong Sanlang pursed his lips and said, “Grand Elder, we can’t shake the Yang Family’s Mount Jiang. Now you hold a high position, and compared to others, your life is quite excellent. In the future, handling state affairs and playing with grandchildren isn’t too bad.”

Yu Ang glared at him listlessly and sighed deeply.

“You don’t understand, you don’t understand how much effort I’ve put into this.”

Tong Tiehu only needs to stay in Anping Village to guard the treasure. He stepped into the bureaucratic world at a young age, always on edge, scheming and fighting tooth and nail, not daring to make a single misstep. It took him decades to climb to the position of Prime Minister.

The effort he had spent in the bureaucratic world was beyond Tong Sanlang’s comprehension.

Years of effort, all for naught.

He felt as though he was about to be wasted away too.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang saw Yu Ang’s disheartened expression and exchanged a look, both somewhat concerned.

But this couldn’t be let on to Yang Wenxiao.

And while Tong Xingda could afford to be muddleheaded, Yu Ang, as the Chancellor, absolutely could not…

[Everyone, good night and sleep well]
