The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

What if he can’t come back?

He wanted to speak, but swallowed his words.

She shouldn't know how risky the trip back is, but should be worrying here about whether her three-acre land has a harvest.

"Mee~" The sheep outside were calling in panic, bringing the two people back from their restless thoughts.

Hu Luanfei put down his chopsticks and rushed out. It was dark and he couldn't see his surroundings clearly. Relying on his memory from the daytime, he carefully moved to the sheep pen.

There were rustling noises all around, as if some animals were frightened and running away.

Qi Siriao walked out a few steps back with a candlestick. In the pitch-black night, his extraordinary night vision allowed him to glimpse several wild wolves ready to make a move.

He was suddenly startled, rushed forward, grabbed her and yelled, "Be careful!"

Hu Luanfei's vision was spinning around, and the next moment he fell into the broad and majestic chest, and he could hear his heart pounding.

At this moment, a wolf howl tore through the darkness of the night.

In the not-too-wide sheepfold, several ewes were already lying in a relatively soft place to give birth. The reason they were calling out in panic was that the wolves were attracted by the fishy smell and ran out of the mountain following the scent.

In the dim candlelight, they could clearly see three or four pairs of green eyes staring at them fiercely.

Quiet, deathly quiet.

Hu Luanfei grabbed his clothes tightly, "My Lord, what should we do now?"

The last time they went into the mountains, both of them had weapons in their hands, but this time, because they were near home, they had nothing but the candlesticks in their hands.

"Come into the house first." Qi Siliao pushed her, with no extra expression on his face, only a layer of ice in his eyes, which was intimidating.

Hu Luanfei swallowed his saliva, shook his legs and said anxiously: "But there are wolves ahead of me..."

Feeling the extremely cold aura emanating from him, she clung even tighter to him.

If it really doesn't work, then take him into the space. I wanted to do that before anyway...

"Relax and help me do something." He patted her arm and instructed in a steady voice.

"what?"

"Pick up some rocks."

"it is good…"

Every time she moved, the wolf moved too.

There was no other way. If they didn't move, both of them would probably be torn into pieces by the wolves.

She slid down slowly, squatted at Qi Siliao's feet, groped for the stone on the ground and handed it to him.

"Your Highness, the wolves in front of me are coming." His scalp was numbing from being stared at by the wolves. He had no choice but to stick close to Qi Siriao's back, regretfully begging God to turn back time.

Qi Si Liao comforted him, "Don't be afraid, they can't hurt you."

"Okay..." Her nerves were tense, and sweat broke out on the palms and soles of her feet. Qi Siliao also launched an attack the next moment.

The stone flew towards the hungry wolf at lightning speed.

After the wolf was attacked, it scattered in all directions. The sheep were also frightened by the wolf's actions and kept bleating.

"Qi's!"

"Are you okay?"

Not far away, there were beams of fire, and the villagers were walking towards this side quickly with torches in their hands.

Hu Luanfei felt relieved, but when he thought of the danger nearby, he immediately took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't come over, there are wolves!"

What she didn't know was that it was because of the wolves that they risked their lives to come out.

A dozen men gathered together holding torches, led by Uncle Niu who was over fifty years old.

In an instant, the entire open space was illuminated by the fire, and the wolves began to retreat.

"Mr. Qi, are you hurt?" The villagers greeted them in unison.

Qi Siriao said "hmm" and bowed to them, "Thank you all for helping my husband and me again. I really don't know how to repay you for your kindness."

"Why are you saying that? We are all neighbors. If we are to be grateful, we should be the ones thanking you."

"Yes, if you hadn't paid to divert water and repair the river, we would have been short of water very soon."

"Now that the water from the Grand Canal has flowed down, we have plenty of land here, so we can plant whatever we want, and we don't have to worry about nothing growing like before."

It was probably the first time that Qi Siriao felt the villagers’ heartfelt thanks, and he stood there in a daze for a long time.

Hu Luanfei wiped away her bitter tears and suddenly choked up, "We just did what we had to do, it's nothing to mention."

"How can I not mention it? This is not an easy task. Most people can't do it without some skills. You two are not ordinary people!"

Uncle Niu nodded. "I agree. This is the first time in decades that Menghu Mountain has no worries about water sources. Because there are rivers everywhere, the weeds are growing more vigorously than before. Soon, this place will no longer be a barren land with no grass."

"Yes, we should thank you for your great kindness."

"No, no, no, you're welcome, you're welcome. It's getting late now, everyone should go home and rest. We can come out and chat tomorrow when we have time."

People outside say that the people living at the foot of Tiger Mountain are all vicious and cruel villains, but in Hu Luanfei's opinion, they are all good people.

Uncle Niu was silent for a while, then pointed at the sheepfold and said earnestly, "There are too many sheep in this small pen, so it's easy for them to get trampled. Tomorrow I'll ask someone to build a bigger one for you."

"Don't bother Uncle Niu. It's the busy farming season recently, and everyone is probably busy with their own fields. The head of the family and I can do it ourselves."

"It's all little things."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Niu, do you know Jiao Lan?" Hu Luanfei thought it would be better to ask in person to avoid wrongly accusing a good person and causing harm to himself.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Niu admitted it honestly. He said: "That girl is a capable person. We all call her 'informer'."

Hu Luanfei was puzzled, "What is an informant?"

"For example, if a family needs to buy something, she will help introduce the seller and get paid for it. This is an 'informant.'"

Hu Luanfei suddenly realized that an informant is just an intermediary.

No wonder those women came here to buy sheep, it turned out to be her.

but…

"Uncle Niu, did she learn about our family affairs from you?"

Uncle Niu's deep eyes swept across Hu Luanfei's face, his puzzled look made him look even more innocent, "No, what happened? What did that girl do?"

Hu Luanfei's confidence suddenly weakened a bit, "I think she knows our family very well."

Uncle Niu said, "Oh," and said, "Informants have some means to find out other things, but regarding your family's affairs, maybe they have come across it somewhere."

Just then, he remembered that Qi Siliao had said that he had met Jiao Lan twice in total, so he turned to look at him.

He raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

So, she knew what was going on.

After seeing off Uncle Niu and his group of people, the couple returned home in the night.

"Your Highness, do you have any lampshades left at home? I want to light a few lamps around the sheep pen to ward off wolves."

"I will go find it."

His back as he hurriedly turned and left was clearly an attempt to escape.

Hu Luan flew behind, leaning against the door frame and sneering, "How did you meet Jiao Lan for the first time?"

Qi Si Liao turned his back and didn't look back. He just cleared his throat and replied, "We just passed each other. She took a look at our prey."
