Chapter 1329: Chapter 1128: Like a Lamb to the Slaughter_1 Chapter 1329: Chapter 1128: Like a Lamb to the Slaughter_1 “I’m not showing off; I’m just hungry.” Tong Sanlang looked at her innocently, his mouth full of food.
He had come non-stop all the way to the Capital City and then to the Casino, hadn’t slept for more than two days, and hadn’t eaten properly. Right now, all he wanted to do was to eat his fill and then sleep.
“You’ve worked hard.” Yang Wenxiao said with a smile, his gaze towards Tong Sanlang filled with increasing tenderness, “Your martial arts skills are really useful, we should have more of these gambling sessions.”
Qiao Xiaomai raised her hand to pat her chest, “You have no idea how angry I was when I first heard the news. My heart can’t take it if this happens a few more times.”
“You’re young and yet your tolerance is so poor. What’s there to fear with Sanlang around?” Yang Wenxiao glanced at her sideways.
“This time was just luck. Not everything can be solved with martial arts. I just want to live my little life without any ripples.”
“Speaking of living your life, how’s your manor?” Yang Wenxiao asked.
“It’s good.”
“Since everything’s fine, you might as well stay in the Palace for now. The Crown Princess is pregnant, and the food from the Imperial Kitchen doesn’t agree with her.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Damn!
This statement weighed more than the ten million Tong Xingda owed!
Preparing food for Feng Huihui, if anything went wrong, she couldn’t compensate for a prince.
“No, no, no, Grandpa Emperor, you overrate me. I don’t understand anything about pregnancy,” Qiao Xiaomai quickly shook her head, “If something goes wrong, I can’t bear the responsibility.”
“I’ll have the wet nurse teach you at your side. You just need to follow her instructions, and nothing will go wrong.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
This trip to the Capital City, did she walk right into a trap?
No, she had to struggle, “Grandpa Emperor, Shen Bai and Ailiusa are still at the manor. Sanlang and I are the hosts. What kind of hosts would we be if we hung out the guests to dry?”
“With so many guards watching over it, nothing will go wrong.” Yang Wenxiao pointed at Yang Zheng as he spoke, “It just so happens Zhengzheng is back too. I think this matter is settled.”
“Moreover, Yu Ang is handing over the account books of Ultimate Flavors, and Sanlang has to go there to check the accounts. Even though it’s a formality, we can’t let others see through it.”
“Since Sanlang is staying in the Capital, you husband and wife might as well stay together. Your rooms in the rear palace haven’t been touched, the palace maids clean every day, you just stay there with peace of mind.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
Dammit, she really did walk into a trap.
If she had known that Tong Sanlang was so decisive, she wouldn’t have followed at all!
“Sanlang and I left in a hurry this time; there are many things in the manor that aren’t arranged yet.” She attempted one last struggle.
“Write a letter to explain things, with Fan Linong there, nothing will go wrong.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
She looked at Yang Wenxiao’s face and pursed her lips.
Not happy.
“See, it’s good to stay in the Palace. I think you might as well move to the Capital City permanently,” Yang Ye chimed in from the side.
“Not happening.”
“Why not? Previously, Grandpa Emperor rewarded Sanlang with a thousand acres of land. The two of you have such a simple number of family members, you can totally settle down in the Capital City.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai twitched the corner of her mouth, “It takes a whole day to reach that thousand acres of land by horse-drawn carriage. Is that called Capital City?”
“Build roads then. Once the road is built, half a day, no, in an hour it will be enough,” Yang Ye said.
The thousand acres of land Yang Wenxiao rewarded to Tong Sanlang was in a remote corner, only accessible by small paths and difficult to travel. If a bluestone road was built, the travel time could be greatly reduced.
“No thanks, I still prefer my secluded little valley.” Qiao Xiaomai didn’t consider this at all.
She had already spread out her stall in the manor. Now asking her to move, she couldn’t make the shift.
