The situation seems to lean more towards Gu Xiruo and Lu Lingfeng. But considering how well Lu Lingfeng plays the role of a partner, compared to Gu Xi Ruo’s favor towards Lu Lingfeng’s calmness, it seems like Gu Xiruo prefers Lu Lingfeng.
“We haven’t even made a move yet, and these two have collided. Quite interesting,” Wang Jinhe said with interest.
Originally, she intended to find an opportunity for Lu Lingfeng and Qing Yukong to confront each other after Gu Xiruo’s return. Unexpectedly, they encountered each other before she could initiate anything.
“I bet Qing Yukong must be furious,” Wang Jinhe said with schadenfreude.
As the fiancée of Gu Xiruo, if he isn’t angry seeing his future wife defend another man right in front of him, she would lose respect for him.
“He is indeed extremely angry. He wanted Gu Xiruo to stop doing business, but she refused. Moreover, Lu Lingfeng is no longer content to stay in the background,” Su Yu said, supporting his chin.
Wang Jinhe turned to Su Yu, surprised, and asked, “Are you saying that Lu Lingfeng intends to contend with Qing Yukong?”
“Yes, Gu Xi Ruo’s defense this time has given Lu Lingfeng other ideas,” Su Yu said, now quite interested in what these two individuals might do.
Wang Jinhe stared at Su Yu, her curiosity piqued about what Lu Lingfeng might plan next.
“Xiao He, should we push a bit from behind?” Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe and asked.
They are considering whether or not to add fuel to the fire between the three individuals.
Now, Gu Xiruo finds it challenging to distance herself from both Qing Yukong and Lu Lingfeng, as they are both valuable pieces in her hands. Previously, Qing Yukong, the official fiancé, was unaware of Lu Lingfeng’s existence, making things more manageable. However, now that Qing Yukong is fully aware, it raises questions about his thoughts on the matter.
Having his fiancée continuously surrounded by a man who likes her is an interesting development for Qing Yukong. Wang Jinhe initially thought about pushing things a bit from behind, but then she reconsidered, thinking it might not be necessary. “The conflict between the three of them has already erupted. We just need Wan Feng and the others to help Qing Yukong find information about Lu Lingfeng. As for pushing from behind, it’s unnecessary,” she said.
Su Yu was surprised by Wang Jinhe’s decision, wondering if she didn’t want to witness the drama unfold. Wang Jinhe considered it and said, “It’s a simple matter. Dogs biting each other is inevitable. We just need to watch from the sidelines. We don’t need to worry about anything else.”
“If we make it too obvious, it might not be good.”
If it becomes evident that someone is pushing things, it might give the three individuals an opportunity to unite against them. Wang Jinhe also pointed out that Qing Yukong has already lost his rationality, and he might not be a match for Lu Lingfeng anymore.
Lu Lingfeng, on the other hand, has been clear about his desires. He has spent several years by Gu Xiruo’s side without seeking any official status. This is not because he is indifferent to everything; instead, it is a strategic move to make Gu Xiruo lower her guard.
When the time is right, Lu Lingfeng plans to replace Qing Yukong, and he has played a role in the recent events.
“So, we’ll just enjoy the show, and as for the rest, we don’t need to worry about it,” Wang Jinhe said with a smile, looking at Su Yu.
“Since you put it that way, I’ll definitely follow your lead,” Su Yu replied, showing his trust in Wang Jinhe’s judgment.
“Now, I’m curious about what Lu Lingfeng will do next,” Wang Jinhe expressed her interest.
After subtly manipulating the relationship between Gu Xiruo and Qing Yukong, what would Lu Lingfeng do next? It had suddenly become an intriguing question for her.
“We’ll know what happens next, won’t we? There’s no rush for it now,” Su Yu teased, seeing Wang Jinhe pondering over Qing Yukong’s affairs.
Wang Jinhe rolled her eyes at Su Yu, saying in a somewhat annoyed tone, “How am I not busy? I still have a lot of things to do.”
Thinking about the tasks ahead, Wang Jinhe felt a headache coming on.
“Afterwards, I’ll probably have to plant some corn, wheat, and such. After all, not every place is suitable for rice cultivation, and we need to consider other areas too.”
“With the land you have?”
“Yeah, I’m thinking of allocating about two hundred acres for that, splitting it in half. Still, a majority will be reserved for rice cultivation.”
“Then, you’ll need to buy seeds.”
“That’s a simple matter.”
After deciding, Wang Jinhe went to buy corn and wheat the next day. Once she had the seeds, she brought them to the homestead.
Finding Liang, the steward, Wang Jinhe pointed to the seeds placed nearby and said, “Steward Liang, allocate two hundred acres for planting corn and wheat, respectively.”
“Our water fields are the best here. Why plant wheat and corn instead of rice? It’s not cost-effective at all,” Liang, the steward, disagreed.
“Xuan Empire has some areas where rice cannot be grown, only wheat and corn. If I don’t provide them with wheat and corn seeds, what will they do? We can’t only consider one group of people and neglect the others,” Wang Jinhe explained, emphasizing the need for diversity.
Steward Liang stared at Wang Jinhe, realizing that he had oversimplified the matter. He had never thought about the issue from this perspective before.
“Master, I’ll have someone prepare for it immediately. We can still manage to plant wheat and corn now.”
“Good, the seeds are right here.”
With Liang and his team preparing the land, they started planting wheat and corn. After finishing two hundred acres for both crops, the laborers had a brief break.
Once the wheat and corn fields were taken care of, Wang Jinhe moved on to breeding melon seedlings.
Observing Wang Jinhe busily transitioning from wheat and corn to melon seedlings, working tirelessly every day, Su Yu felt somewhat dissatisfied.
“Xiao He, take a break. You’ve been working hard,” Su Yu said, watching his wife labor relentlessly.
Wang Jinhe looked up from her work, smiling at Su Yu, “I’m fine. There’s still a lot to be done.”
Su Yu couldn’t help but sigh. His wife was indeed a hardworking and dedicated person.
While Wang Jinhe continued her agricultural endeavors, the confrontation between Gu Xiruo, Qing Yukong, and Lu Lingfeng unfolded. Su Yu and Wang Jinhe watched from the sidelines, intrigued by the drama that was unfolding.
After finishing his studies for the day, Xiao Bao lay on Su Yu’s lap and whispered, “Daddy, Mommy is really busy.”
Su Yu nodded, “Yes, she is. After all, your mother has the responsibility of ensuring that the people have enough to eat.”
Su Yu’s explanation was reasonable. The seeds Wang Jinhe planted were all high-yielding. Once these crops became widespread, it would help solve the food problem for the common people, ensuring that everyone had enough to eat.
“Mommy?, why?” Xiao Bao asked in confusion.
His mother only planted some fruits, vegetables, and grains. Why did it become a task related to people’s meals?
“Because your mother’s crops yield a lot. The grains she grows will be turned into seeds and distributed to various places in Xuan Empire, given to other people so that they can have plenty of food to eat and won’t go hungry,” Su Yu explained softly to Xiao Bao.
Even though Su Yu felt distressed, there was nothing he could do. Xiao He knew what she was doing.
“Why?” Xiao Bao asked innocently.
Su Yu smiled and said, “Because it’s a good thing to help others. When people have enough to eat, they’ll be happy, and that’s what your mother is doing.”
Xiao Bao blinked his eyes, seemingly understanding a little. Su Yu gently stroked his son’s head, feeling grateful for his family.
