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

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: So What If I’m Suspicious?_1 Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: So What If I’m Suspicious?_1 “Without significant achievements, how could he possibly consider promoting you? Even for the rebellion, you only managed to get a baronetcy. Don’t even mention anything else, since rebellions don’t happen every day.”

Qiao Xiaomai had fantasized about this many times. In her opinion, at the very least, Yang Wenxiao should have given Tong Sanlang an earldom.

If it weren’t for her and Tong Sanlang, the Yang Family would have been finished by now.

But the reality was that Yang Wenxiao had only given the lowest rank of baronet.

“He really has no conscience, I don’t want to give him the Divine Liquid anymore,” Qiao Xiaomai huffed indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang, with a somewhat wry smile, stood up and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, “Actually, this baronetcy isn’t much. Gao Lian only holds the position of steward in Da’an Palace, but throughout Capital City, who dares to provoke him?”

“We are much like Gao Lian, both of us are close officials to the retired emperor, and can have a word with him. Though our status isn’t high, nobody dares to provoke us.”

Qiao Xiaomai pouted, “Isn’t Bai Zhi a person?”

“She’s a princess, and even if I were granted a dukedom, I still wouldn’t be able to hold her down,” Tong Sanlang said, lifting his other hand to pinch her cheek, and added, “Apart from Bai Zhi, nobody else dares to provoke us.”

“This invincibility is the most tangible and important benefit we’ve received from the retired emperor; titles are merely incidental.”

“Don’t be angry, in the future, we can use his name to our advantage. Aside from those with personal grudges like Bai Zhi, ordinary people won’t provoke us.”

Qiao Xiaomai lifted her eyelids to glare at him, “I just can’t accept it; I hate how Bai Zhi always plays the status card.”

“Don’t lower yourself to her level. As for status, as long as we are clear about it in our own hearts, it’s enough. Aside from you, everyone here is a local,” Tong Sanlang said with a chuckle, pinching her cheek again.

At his words, Qiao Xiaomai lifted her eyelids and rolled her eyes at him, then stretched out her arms to wrap them around his waist.

Nestled in his arms, she sighed softly, “It feels a bit stifling.”

“It’s already quite good. In this era, even the Yang Family can’t always do as they please,” Tong Sanlang said, wrapping his arms around her, “Prince Wei Your Highness is still out there drifting.”

Thinking of Yang Ye, who was still struggling out there, Qiao Xiaomai felt slightly better.

When a prince himself was having such a hard time, the troubles she faced with Bai Zhi and the Zhang Family didn’t seem like much after all.

However, Yang Wenxiao’s recent questioning was a bit peculiar, “Do you think he believed my explanation concerning strength?”

“Emperors are always suspicious. If it were anyone else, he would definitely be doubtful. But with you… he probably is suspicious, but because of the presence of Liuli and her followers, he suppressed his doubts and did not pursue further questions.”

“Speaking of which, creating a fake follower of Liuli was a very clever move.”

At these words, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but purse her lips.

In the past three days, she and Tong Sanlang had already prepared excuses and guessed Yang Wenxiao’s reactions, which turned out to be within their expectations.

To live with the emperor is like living with a tiger; luckily, they had the follower of Liuli.

Biting her lip, she changed the subject, “Go find Ya Wuxia tomorrow and have him send someone to deliver the crayfish fry to the manor. We won’t be able to travel with him anymore.”

“Okay.”

“Your mother’s eyes… they haven’t improved at all to this point,” Qiao Xiaomai added.

It could be that there was indeed some internal bleeding. The wound on Zhang Family’s head had healed, but her eyes remained blind.

Tong Tiehu was staying at the Medical Clinic, personally looking after her.

Each time Tong Sanlang came to visit, she always tried to make a scene, which invariably ended with her getting knocked out.

“Keep nursing her back to health,” Tong Sanlang held her tighter, “She will get better eventually.”

Zhang Family being blind gave them a legitimate reason to have someone watch over her.

Compared to sending her to East Sea, he thought it would be better to have someone confine her in Anping Village.
