Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

"Mother! What are you talking about?"

Before Fu could finish her words, Zhao Mingyuan interrupted her. Fu was stunned for a moment by Zhao Mingyuan's shouting.

Then she said angrily, "Why are you making so much noise, kid? I didn't say anything."

"Mom!" Zhao Mingyuan said helplessly, "What if something happens to me? How will Wan'er live the rest of her life? I'm your baby. Isn't Wan'er the apple of Aunt Xiao's eye?"

Seeing Fu's disapproving look, Zhao Mingyuan took a deep breath and then said to her, "Mother, when I come back in a year, Wan'er will naturally marry me. I can't bear to ask Wan'er to marry me now and then wait and wait like this. Please don't mention this again in the future, so as not to hurt the relationship with Aunt Xiao!"

After hearing this, Fu nodded with lingering fear.

Yuan Ge'er said that his relationship with Liu was developing rapidly. Liu was a person of open and generous temperament, and Fu was used to being a general's wife, so she was also generous and amiable. The two of them hit it off immediately, and Fu liked the Xiao family very much.

Fu nodded and promised not to mention it again. She was on good terms with Liu and could not make such a mistake and ruin the relationship between the two families.

Zhao Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, hoping his mother wouldn't be confused. He knew Wan'er's temper well, and she was the proudest one.

If the relationship between the two of them is natural, Wan'er would marry him willingly, but if she is forced by current circumstances, Xiao Wan would not pay any attention even if she is still a general.

The Xiao family loves their children, so I'm afraid they won't allow it.

Fu told Zhao Mingyuan that Zhao Wu had already written to her and was on his way back. It seemed that the court would take action soon, and now they just had to wait for the imperial decree.

In the evening, the Zhao family came to the Xiao family for dinner with gifts, and Liu and Xiao Wan prepared a large table of dishes to entertain them.

When Fu saw Liu, she felt a little embarrassed. She said those words because she was so overwhelmed by the fact that her son was going to the battlefield.

Now that she saw how warmly the Xiao family treated her family, Fu felt that her words had gone too far.

She also likes Xiao Wan. Her son is right. Wan'er is also the treasure of the Xiao family and is now the county lord. Her previous thinking was indeed narrow-minded.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

Fu felt a little guilty, so she was extra warm and polite to Liu. Liu was a little surprised. Could it be that Yuan'er and Wan'er's relationship was about to be settled?

The two people had their own thoughts and were desperately picking up food for each other, which made everyone laugh.

Zhang Liang waited until the banquet was over before reporting to Xiao Wan what he had discovered after following Xiao Ting.

"Miss, where do you think Xiao Ting went after she left?" Zhang Liang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Xiao Wan rolled her eyes. How would she know where Xiao Ting had gone?

Zhang Liang chuckled and continued, "After Xiao Ting left Qilixiang, she went to a small medicine shop. The maidservant who was with her didn't go in with him, but waited for him at the door."

"Your Highness... I found a backdoor and sneaked in. I discovered that this small pharmacy was secretly selling poisonous drugs. They've been banned by the government, but they're still selling them. I was worried they might harm you, so I leaned in to listen."

"After listening to her, I realized that what Xiao Ting wanted was rat poison, and the dosage was quite large. After she left, she went straight back to Zhang's house, and I followed her in. Since I came back just now, there has been no other movement."

After listening to this, Xiao Wan went over Xiao Ting's words several times in her mind. She thought that when she talked about revenge on the Zhang family, did she mean to poison the Zhang family with rat poison?

What did the Zhang family do to her?

Xiao Wan couldn't figure it out for a moment, but didn't think about it anymore. She just told Zhang Liang to see if he could bribe a servant of the Zhang family, always pay attention to the movements of the Zhang family and Xiao Ting, and report to her in time if anything happened.

Zhang Liang nodded in agreement. It was a small matter, very simple. Money can make the world go round.

Xiao Wan asked Tian Shuang to bring him a big purse filled with a lot of money.

Zhang Liang had received rewards from Xiao Wan before, but this time the amount was quite a bit, so he was a little hesitant.

Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Take it. This is what you deserve. If you do your job well, I will treat you well. Tian Shuang and the others also have some, so feel free to keep them."

Zhang Liang was grateful. The girl was generous and considerate to the servants. She never mistreat them and they all had a share of the delicious food and drinks. Zhang Liang and his mother were always grateful.

Aunt Zhang was not feeling well, and Xiao Wan promptly sent someone to get her medicine and did not ask her to do heavy work. Zhang Liang felt more and more grateful and worked even harder.

Xiao Wan has always been generous to Zhang Liang and Tian Shouzhong, of course, on the premise that they do their work well.

Tian Shouzhong followed his father around and put in a lot of effort. Moreover, he was a first-class guard in the capital before. With him protecting his father when he went out, Xiao Wan felt very relieved.

When Xiao Wan learned that they were guards, she exclaimed that she had made a fortune, thanks to Zhao Mingyuan and Fu Mingxuan. Well, it was time to hold on to Fu Mingxuan's thigh tightly from now on.
