The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The problem of the dam disturbance was solved, and Hu Luanfei breathed a sigh of relief.

She held her slightly sore waist and found a clean place to sit on the ground.

The workers were celebrating the old man's return, and the scoundrel was much more well-behaved than before. His friends who had done bad things with him joked about his past, and the scoundrel got angry and started to make trouble again. Seeing the scoundrel who was the same as before but different, everyone laughed while holding their rice bowls.

"Brother Dacheng, how has Bailian Village recovered recently?" Hu Luanfei turned his head and looked at Zhang Dacheng who was eating beside him, "Your father..."

"It's okay. But many villagers in Bailian Village lost their psychedelic drugs. Those who could survive survived, and those who couldn't were buried."

"Eh? Didn't Xuanyuan Yuqing prescribe medicine for you to heal you?"

Zhang Dacheng swallowed a mouthful of rice with difficulty and said, "The toxins have invaded my bones for many years and they have turned black. It can't be cured by just those few medicines. Only hallucinogens are effective when the disease occurs."

"This is a test of the compassion of others. Anyone would have sympathy, let alone biological parents and brothers and sisters. So it is not surprising even if someone secretly provides psychedelic drugs."

Zhang Dacheng knew that this was the reason why he repeatedly eliminated lawbreakers despite tremendous pressure, offending many people. No one could explain his difficulties. "If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone through that."

"What's your solution?"

"Anyone who carries drugs will be thrown into jail."

Hu Luanfei was feeling sleepy due to pregnancy and was in poor spirits. She only asked Zhang Dacheng a few questions and then told him to prepare to retreat.

"Don't you blame me?" Zhang Dacheng asked suddenly.

Hu Luanfei paused for a moment, looked up at the azure sky for a long time before saying, "You are very lenient. If it were me, I would kill one person to warn the rest."

Zhang Dacheng fixed his eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Looking at the thin figure that was getting farther and farther away, he suddenly felt a strong pressure like a mountain hitting him, which made him feel so suppressed that he couldn't breathe for a moment.

He could hardly believe that this tiny person had such a powerful ability that he could display his dominance with just a few words.

Awesome, really awesome.

Zhang Dacheng walked Hu Luanfei out onto the road outside the dam construction project.

After she left, he still couldn't recover from the shock.

"My queen, that bastard injured so many of our workers. Are we really going to let him go?" Le Yao was getting ready to set off with the carriage while observing the movements around her.

"His father has no merits but he has worked hard. When the prince was inspecting him, he should have noticed that the scoundrel was lazy and slacking off, but he never took action. I think he didn't do anything excessive. Besides, the workers who were beaten didn't say anything and even pleaded for him. Why should we be the bad guys? Let's just turn a blind eye. After all, no one is perfect. Giving him a chance to start over is also a good deed for us."

"Wait a minute, boss! Wait a minute, boss!"

"What's that sound?" Hu Luanfei opened the window curtain and Le Yao stopped the carriage. When the carriage stopped, Hu Luanfei dived forward due to inertia, and the nausea that had just subsided surged up his throat again.

"My lady, it's the old woman who delivered the food just now."

Hu Luanfei spat out a few mouthfuls of sour water, and barely calmed down, "See what she has to say."

The old woman was plump, about sixty years old. After years of vicissitudes, her movements were not as fast as they used to be, but she was still agile. She trotted to the carriage holding a black jar and said, "This is the sour plums I made. If you don't mind, you can take them away."

Hu Luanfei was touched for a moment, but when the old woman opened the jar and smelled the fragrance of plums, he quickly regained his composure and swallowed hard.

"Try one." The old woman handed over the jar. Hu Luanfei picked up one and put it in her mouth. In an instant, a taste that she would never forget until her death almost made her ignore the sour and salty taste.

"Auntie, when you pickled it, did you add vinegar made from gardenia petals?"

The old woman was confused. "There is vinegar, but I don't know what kind of petals it is made of."

"Where did you buy the vinegar?" Hu Luanfei seemed a little anxious. After swallowing the plum, he couldn't help but hold the old woman's hand tightly, choking slightly.

The old woman was a little nervous. Even though she tried to control her emotions, her uneasy expression and trembling voice betrayed her. "There is a small tribe over the mountain. There are gardenias everywhere. I also exchanged my vinegar there."

Hearing this, Hu Luanfei was stunned for a moment. His dazed look aroused Le Yao's curiosity, but he still chose to keep his mouth shut.

The affairs of the royal family were always complicated and unclear, and it was not something that a palace maid like her should be involved in. After secretly giving the old woman some silver, Le Yao gently asked Hu Luanfei, "Are we going back to the village or to Beiqiu?"

The old woman walked back, and Hu Luanfei gathered his attention and immediately called her, "Auntie, wait a moment." He turned around and whispered to Le Yao, "I'm going to the tribe you mentioned later. Wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Hu Luan flew over to the old woman, took out a portrait and unfolded it, "Have you seen this woman?"

The old woman stared for a long time, and as she looked at Hu Luanfei, she said, "I've never seen him before."

"Who gave you the vinegar made from gardenia petals in exchange?"

Without hesitation, the old woman said, "A woman wearing a face scarf, as tall as you."

As if news of victory had come from the front, Hu Luanfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was shaking with excitement, "Auntie, please take us there quickly."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm busy right now." The old woman was worried about her husband working alone, so she walked forward reluctantly while looking back to worry whether her husband could handle it.

Hu Luanfei immediately sent Le Yao to call Zhang Dacheng to help clean up the dining cart so that the old woman could go with her.

Because the horse was galloping and Hu Luan was flying, he was in a hurry. When he arrived at the destination, it was not dark yet. It was just the time when everyone finished their lunch break and came out to work.

Gardenias were blooming everywhere, with a rich fragrance, and a hint of fruity aroma if you smelled carefully. Hu Luanfei's mind had long drifted to the protagonist of brewing gardenia vinegar, and she had completely forgotten that she was pregnant and prone to vomiting.

"My lady, although the vinegar made from gardenia petals tastes good, it cannot be taken for a long time."

Hu Luanfei said, "I just came here to meet this person, it has nothing to do with vinegar. But if you need gardenia vinegar, we can also order it here."

The old woman interrupted, "That woman is the only one in the tribe who makes vinegar from gardenia petals. You can get some from her if you need it in small quantities, but there's no more."

As they were talking, people from the tribe came from all directions carrying hoes.

Just when everyone was about to get closer to say hello, two soft voices of "wait" came from not far away.

Hu Luanfei looked back in surprise and saw a woman in a green shirt walking out from behind the gardenia tree.

Le Yao was even more surprised than she was: "Look, it's the Gardenia Fairy!"
