A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Zhang knew that Gao Xiuwen had missed Shen Qingqian forever, and it was their Gao family that was not blessed enough.

Her only hope now is that Gao Xiuwen can pass the imperial examination and make achievements in his official career.

Unfortunately, Zhang's hope was dashed when the results were announced half a month later! Gao Xiuwen failed the exam!

The Gao family was in a gloomy mood, and Gao Xiuwen was also very depressed. He felt that he did okay in the exam, but the imperial examination held every three years was like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. How could it be so easy to pass?

Thinking that Shen Qingqian had become a county lady and enjoyed great glory, while he still had to wait three years before he had the opportunity to take part in the provincial examination again, Gao Xiuwen's heart was wrenched and ached terribly.

Looking at Shen Jiao again, I felt that she was annoying in every way. Even as a concubine, I found her an eyesore.

So, Gao Xiuwen wrote a letter of divorce and finally divorced Shen Jiao.

What Gao Xiuwen didn't expect was that Shen Jiao didn't refuse to leave as he had imagined. Instead, she happily took the divorce letter and left.

Gao Xiuwen underestimated Shen Jiao after all! The reason why Shen Jiao was so submissive in his house was because she was waiting.

When Gao Xiuwen passed the imperial examination, he could become an official. And for her, being a concubine of an official was better than marrying a peasant.

But Gao Xiuwen didn't pass the exam! He would have to wait another three years to take the exam again, and he might not even pass!

Therefore, Shen Jiao no longer had any hope for Gao Xiuwen. Even if Gao Xiuwen didn't divorce her, she would still find a way to leave.

She could barely accept being a concubine to an official, but she, Shen Jiao, disdained being a concubine to a poor scholar!

With Shen Jiao's scheming, how could she hang herself on a tree?

Moreover, Gao Xiuwen and Shen Jiao had been married for nearly a year, but he still didn't really understand Shen Jiao. He only saw the surface, which was also the side that Shen Jiao showed.

So Gao Xiuwen didn't know at all that Shen Jiao had given him a chronic poison since the day he failed the exam. Of course, it wasn't a fatal poison, but a sterilizing drug.

This means that Gao Xiuwen will never have children in this life!

After being divorced, Shen Jiao returned to the Shen family, but her life was not difficult. On the one hand, Xu Guihua protected her; on the other hand, she was also a resourceful person, and she was already familiar with how to please Shen Dakuan.

However, there is still a thorn in Shen Jiao's heart, and this thorn is entirely because of Shen Qingqian!

She can harm Gao Xiuwen and can coax Shen Dakuan, but she can't deal with Shen Qingqian!

In just one year, Shen Qingqian stood in a high position that she could not reach. How could she be willing to accept this? Shen Jiao even dreamed about how to kill Shen Qingqian!

Shen Qingqian didn't know what happened between Gao Xiuwen and Shen Jiao, let alone the darkness in Shen Jiao's heart. She was very busy during this period!

The reputation of the county lady has spread throughout Ping'an Town! The imperial edict said that Shen Qingqian donated money and food to the war at the border and was a woman with a sense of family and country. It also encouraged everyone to follow suit.

Of course, people who are praised by the emperor will have people vying to curry favor with them!

So much so that ever since Shen Qingqian was named county lord, people came to visit her from time to time, both acquaintances and strangers.

At first, Shen Qingqian was able to greet them with a smile and treat them with courtesy. But after a long time, she was tired of dealing with it, so she simply hid in Black Stone Mountain.

If anyone else comes, Shen Qingfeng will send them away directly.

The villa has basically been built and the interior decoration is underway.

More than thirty boys were learning Kung Fu from Yingzi's grandfather. Shen Qingqian would practice with them when she was free and it seemed that most of them were doing quite well.

However, these teenagers who are less than 18 years old will be responsible for protecting the safety of the villa in the future. It is not enough to just have some martial arts skills, they also need to have the ability to respond and conduct joint operations.

So, Shen Qingqian personally trained them for an hour every day.

Rushing through mountains and forests, climbing cliffs, cooperating with multiple people in combat, etc.

Shen Qingqian really enjoyed this kind of training and liked life in Black Stone Mountain more and more.

Perhaps, in Shen Qingqian's heart, doing business is just something she has to do to make a living. But this is the life she really likes and what she really wants to do!

Just like that, a month passed, and Shen Qingqian's villa was completely built.

From the outside, there is nothing special about this villa, it is just an ordinary building. The only thing that attracts attention is the tall observation tower, which stands at the highest point of the villa and overlooks everything around it.

However, the interior of the villa is a different world. In addition to the beautiful scenery like other villas, there are also various mysterious hidden doors and mechanisms here. These hidden doors and mechanisms are cleverly integrated into the building, making it difficult for people to detect their existence.

Some secret doors are hidden behind the wall and can only be opened by pressing a specific button; some mechanisms are set under the floor and can only be triggered by stepping on specific floor tiles. These secret doors and mechanisms not only increase the safety of the villa, but also make it full of mystery and fun.

After the villa was built, Shen Qingqian returned to Ping'an Town. She asked Yingzi to find the craftsman from last time to make a batch of crossbows and distribute them to the guards of the villa.

With these safety facilities, Shen Qingqian believed that the villa could withstand an attack by thousands of people.

She had only been in Ping'an Town for two days when Master Zhou sent someone to look for her, saying that Zhou Susu had arrived and asked her to come over.

Speaking of which, Shen Qingqian hadn't seen Zhou Susu for nearly two months. When she heard that she was coming, she hurried to Zhou's house.

When Shen Qingqian arrived, Zhou Susu and her parents were sitting and talking in the front hall. They must be waiting for Shen Qingqian!

Shen Qingqian's first impression when she saw Zhou Susu was that she had lost weight and looked a little haggard.

"Qing Qian is here, come and sit down!"

As soon as Shen Qingqian entered the room, Zhou Susu stood up from her chair and came to greet her.

"Sister Susu, you are still pregnant, please sit down and don't worry about me."

Shen Qingqian pulled her to sit down, and asked with concern: "Sister Susu, why do you seem to have lost weight? Are you feeling unwell or are you worried about something?"

Zhou Susu looked sad and sighed, "Something happened. I came here to discuss it with my parents. I also want to hear your opinion."

At this time, a servant brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Shen Qingqian.

Master Zhou said, "Qingqian, have a cup of tea first. I need to explain this to you slowly."

When Shen Qingqian heard this, she felt like something big had happened! She subconsciously glanced at Zhou Susu's belly. Fortunately, it was almost four months, and she was already pregnant, so it wasn't about the baby.

Only then did she pick up the teacup and take a sip, waiting for Zhou Susu to tell her about the next big thing.
