I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

Seeing Song Wanqing's confident look, it would be strange if Ji Huaichuan was not moved.

The population loss in Xuancheng is extremely serious now. If left unchecked, his hard work in conquering this place will be meaningless.

Song Wanqing had previously demonstrated her superb skills and knowledge. She was indeed a rare talent. If she could become his military advisor...

He thought for a while, his eyes became firm, and he said: "In this case, Ji will no longer stop Miss Song, since Miss Song wants to work with me to overthrow the dog emperor."

"Then I will give Miss Song a mansion as a reward for purifying the water at this time, and it will also make it easier for Miss Song to govern Xuancheng with me in the future."

Song Wanqing nodded. This was the reward she deserved, so she did not refuse.

"In that case, I will discuss this with my husband and go home first to arrange everything before I can come to Xuancheng to assist Master Ji."

Ji Huaichuan nodded and asked considerately, "Miss Song, do you need me to arrange someone to take you back?"

"Of course, thank you."

After saying that, she walked away and found Cheng Qian, who was feeling depressed in the side room.

Cheng Qian'an was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, playing with the ends of his hair out of boredom. When he heard the voice, he immediately looked up and saw Song Wanqing approaching. He immediately went to greet her excitedly.

"My wife!" He couldn't wait to get close to Song Wanqing.

The faint fragrance from her body could always soothe his restless heart. No matter what his mood was at the moment, as long as he could be close to her, all his troubles seemed to disappear.

Song Wanqing patted his back and said soothingly, "My wife is here."

Seeing Cheng Qi'an calm down, Song Wanqing took the opportunity to say, "By the way, husband, I want to discuss something with you."

"I want to stay in Xuancheng and manage this place together with City Lord Ji to make it develop. Do you think it's okay?"

Cheng Qian'an seemed unhappy. He kept his head down and said nothing, then sat down beside the bed.

Song Wanqing knew that he had some hostility towards Ji Huaichuan. Seeing him like this, Song Wanqing felt a little happy for some reason.

Maybe this is the feeling of being cared for.

She went up to Cheng Qian'an, held his hand, stared at him and said, "My husband, I think Xuancheng is pretty good. We can't stay in the village forever. If we want to grow and develop, we must go out. Now is a great opportunity."

"City Lord Ji gave me a mansion as a reward for today's water purification. Let's go back and arrange things in the mountain village first, and then move here, okay?"

"Then we can go see if there are any shops in good locations that we can buy, so that we can manage Xuancheng and make some money from business at the same time?"

Cheng Qian'an pursed his lips. Living in Xuancheng, doesn't it mean that his wife will meet Ji Huaichuan often in the future?

But when he looked at Song Wanqing, he found that her eyes were shining, full of hope for the future.

Cheng Qian'an knew what she said, but it was Ji Huaichuan who made him feel uncomfortable.

But his wife's feelings come first in his heart. As long as he can make his wife happy, he can endure a little grievance!

Immediately, Cheng Qian nodded and said firmly: "Madam, if you like it, I like it."

But he asked again: "Madam, what is the relationship with him?"

Song Wanqing burst out laughing. She tapped Cheng Qian'an's nose and said, "There is no relationship. If I have to say, it is a cooperative relationship. He develops his career, and I use him to develop mine."

Of course, she will need Ji Huaichuan's help to earn merit points.

Seeing Cheng Qian'an looking aggrieved, Song Wanqing rubbed his face distressedly and said, "Then let's get ready and go back to the village later."

Under Ji Huaichuan's arrangement, the two of them got on the best carriage and returned to the foot of the mountain. As soon as they returned to the mountain stronghold, they heard harsh shouting and cursing coming from inside.

"Are you kidding me? You want me to raise pigs?!"

"A bunch of cowards, you dare to hide in this mountain and not come out, right?"

"Ha! If you dare to go out and take a look, you will be the first to die. You dare to make me do these hard labors? You don't want to live, right?!"

Song Wanqing's eyes darkened, and she hurried over, only to see Wen Lingyue throwing the pig food bucket on the ground while cursing, with her hands on her hips, yelling and cursing at the coolies, bandits and passing villagers around her. She even wanted to kick the passing dogs.

"Shut up!" Song Wanqing shouted coldly.

Wen Lingyue then stopped and looked at the culprit of all this with an unhappy face - Song Wanqing!

"Song Wanqing, this is your village. I thought it was so harmonious, but it turns out to be a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong!" Wen Lingyue gritted her teeth, her clothes were dirty.

Bully the weak and fear the strong?

Song Wanqing frowned and glanced sharply at the bandits around him. Each of them had been slapped hard on the face, and their faces were swollen.

They lowered their heads in panic, and even though they usually refused to accept the principal's orders, they actually showed a hint of fear.

At first glance, you can tell that they have caused trouble, and luckily they have offended Wen Lingyue.

She randomly called a spectator to ask, and found out that the bandits thought Wen Lingyue was a woman and easy to bully, so they tried to make her do heavy and hard work.

But I didn't expect that she was so aggressive. Unlike Song Wanqing's cold threats, she actually started to beat and scold him!

They were all beaten so hard that they dared not resist, which led to the scene where Wen Lingyue caught them and scolded them.

There was a flash of surprise in Song Wanqing's eyes. She looked at the rebellious Wen Lingyue and an idea came to her mind.

It just so happened that she needed to leave here. As long as she left, there was no guarantee that these bandits would not do anything wrong. If there could be someone in the village who had the force to discipline them, wouldn’t it be a good thing?

However, she knew that Wen Lingyue would not be so obedient.

If she said go west, Wen Lingyue would definitely go east.

Wen Lingyue stared at Song Wanqing, but saw a glimmer in her black eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Could that woman be plotting something bad against her?

She immediately said, "Song Wanqing, what are you thinking about? Do you want to punish me? Ha! If you want to punish me, you still..."

"Miss Wen, you're overthinking it. I think you did a great job today."

Wen Lingyue was stunned. She restrained the fierce look on her face unnaturally and said, "Then you..."

Song Wanqing then said calmly: "It seems that Miss Wen is quite skilled. I have a bold idea today. I want to compete with Miss Wen to see who is better."

"Are you crazy?" Wen Lingyue opened her eyes wide in surprise. Song Wanqing looked thin and weak as a willow branch. It was obvious that he was no match for her.

If she wins, wouldn't it seem like she has no martial ethics?

Although this woman is annoying and she monopolizes such a handsome man, she is not a despicable person!
