Mo Chenxi looked at Luo Zizhen carefully, and he really didn't look like Hanshan University at all.

Hanshan University said: "I heard that you and your father have grown sweet potatoes, so I said it's right to leave it to you."

Mo Chenxi quickly explained that he didn't leave any for the eldest daughter, as they were all planted in the fields.

Hanshan said, "That's fine. You can give it to me later when you have it. I don't have much to do. I just came by to take a look and buy some flowers from He's Manor. If Madam Xiaojie is free, please come with me."

Now that the boss has spoken, you have to make time even if you don’t have time, let alone when you have time.

The Mo family manor and the He family manor were still some distance away. Mo Chenxi took the carriage of the emperor. It was the first time for her to take such a luxurious carriage. It was not only luxurious but also comfortable. It was not as bumpy as the carriage she had taken before.

Da *** often travels, often going to southern Fujian, so her transportation must be comfortable. Seeing how much she cares about Luo Yulan, she won't let her suffer on the road.

When we got off the carriage at the gate of the village, we heard a noise, as if someone was arguing.

Mo Chenxi was embarrassed. She thought that Mrs. Mo had quarreled with the three concubines. Wouldn't this make the elder sister laugh at her?

Hanshan smiled and said, "Hey! Your house is quite lively!"

Mo Chenxi thought, who cares? Everyone knew she didn't live in the He family manor anyway. She said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness."

The eldest lady said, "It's okay. Who doesn't have quarrels? When I first got married to my husband, we had a lot of quarrels too, and we almost got into a fight."

Luo Zizhen heard the eldest sister talking about her biological father as if he was talking about someone else.

He also couldn't figure out what his father was trying to do. He gritted his teeth when he mentioned His Highness and quarreled whenever they met.

But my father had only two women in his life. One was his biological mother, whom he thought was a prostitute at the time.

One was Zhou’s concubine, who secretly drugged my father when my grandmother was still alive.

Speaking of my father's chastity, I guess he himself couldn't figure out whether he was chaste for his current mother or for his wife.

Mother Wang knocked on the door first. The person who opened the door was a little panicked when he saw the lady coming.

Mo Chenxi asked, "Who's making noise in there?"

The man replied, "The second aunt is here."

Mo Chenxi had a headache. Why did He come today?

A few people walked in. The He family's farm was not big. There was a courtyard just a few steps inside, which was where the master lived.

The servants lived in the back, and all the pig sheds she used to raise pigs were demolished, and two greenhouses for growing flowers were rebuilt.

This place used to be smelly, but after planting flowers, it now smells fragrant from inside to outside.

As we walked inside, we could hear people arguing. One of the people was Ms. He, whose voice was easily recognizable, high-pitched and piercing.

The other voice was that of Little Mo.

Mrs. Hanshan said to Luo Zizhen, "Go to the back and pick out a few pots of flowers for tomorrow's dinner."

Mo Chenxi sent someone to take him to the back.

Hanshan University stretched her neck to look into the courtyard. The princess was also very gossipy.

He's voice: "Who do you think you are? A concubine who is no different from a cat or a dog. It's not your turn to speak about the affairs of the He family!"

Xiao Mo's voice: "I am a concubine, a concubine of the He family, and also your eldest brother's concubine! You are a married woman, so don't take anything from the He family!"

Then came He's exasperated voice, "Isn't it just a potted flower? My eldest brother didn't say anything, why are you stopping me from taking it?"

Mrs. Mo: "Madam has told me that I can make the decision when she is not at home."

He: "What's the point of calling her Madam or not? She abandoned her family and children and was unfilial to her mother-in-law, and yet she still has the nerve to call herself Madam!"

There was a loud slapping sound, followed by He's sharper voice: "You hit me! How dare you, a concubine, hit me?"

Madam Mo: "If you want to die, then die quickly! Don't bring trouble to the He family! Madam's imperial title was bestowed by the imperial court. Are you saying that the imperial court can't judge people well?"

Mo Chenxi and the others had already reached the door. Hanshan clapped his hands twice and said, "Well done! The person who talks nonsense should have her mouth smashed!"

He covered her face and turned around. The first thing she saw was her eldest sister-in-law. She said, "Is this the family education in your Mo family? A concubine hits a married woman?"

After he finished speaking, he saw the big man. He looked at his majestic figure and dared not speak.

What if it was someone from the Wang family again? Last time, Mrs. Wang had kicked two of her teeth out.

Mother Wang shouted, "His Highness the Great Lord has arrived!"

Little Mrs. Mo was so panicked that she knelt down and kowtowed. Several servants in the yard followed suit. Mrs. He was confused and knelt down with a thud.

Mo Chenxi knelt down to salute the elder sister, and Mother Wang knelt beside her.

The nanny next to Mrs. Hanshan said sternly, "Everyone, please get out."

Little Mrs. Mo was so frightened that she got up and walked away quickly. Mrs. He stood up and said flatteringly, "I am the He family's aunt, and this is my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Hanshan frowned, and the nanny beside her gave a signal, and two nannies came up and dragged He out.

He hurriedly called out, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

Grandmother Hanshan said to the nanny beside her, "Send her back and warn her in-laws. Send her to the family temple for insubordination... Forget it. If she goes to the temple, won't her child still be a burden to the He family?"

The last sentence was directed at Mo Chenxi.

Mo Chenxi quickly said, "My master said that copying scriptures can calm people's minds, and he also said that women should copy more female precepts."

Grand Lady Hanshan said to the nanny, "Then let her copy the Women's Commandments behind closed doors."

He was terrified. If she were sent to the temple, what would happen to her child? Later, after listening to the "Recipes for Women," she felt relieved.

Don't dare to shout anymore.

Hanshan County clerk sympathized with Mo Chenxi, as she had learned all about the He and Mo families. Yulan said Mrs. Mo was a pitiful person, and that the Mo family was truly kind. When they asked her to plant sweet potatoes, the father and daughter planted them diligently, treating them like treasures.

Hanshan said, "I've sent people to southern Fujian and told them to bring back any plants grown overseas."

Mo Chenxi stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness. If you have any rare potted plants, you can bring them back."

She thought that tomatoes were originally grown as ornamental plants and were believed to be highly poisonous so no one dared to eat them.

Hanshan University thought that Madam Mo wanted to plant some potted plants that were not available in Beijing because the He family grew flowers.

She said, "I brought back two potted plants. The fruits they bear look like little red lanterns, called love fruit. I'm going to use them for a banquet tomorrow, and I'll give you one later."

Mo Chenxi had just sat down when he suddenly stood up after hearing what the boss said.

Mrs. Hanshan was startled. "What? Have you heard about it? Is it poisonous? I heard it's poisonous, but Yulan likes it. She said it's rare to find such bright red fruits."

She knew that Yulan regretted not being able to wear a red wedding dress as a concubine, and also that the fruit was called Lover's Fruit, and she liked it, so she brought it back to the capital.

Seeing the queen's expression change, Mo Chenxi quickly said, "No, I have seen a painting of a red fruit, and it was called the Lover's Fruit. I didn't expect that Your Highness would have one."

Hanshan said, "You scared me. I told them it was poisonous and asked them to take good care of it. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow. You can come and bring back the potted plants. You can return a few to me later."

Mo Chenxi was so excited. If it was really a tomato, she would be able to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the future.
