The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen
Chapter 27 The mastermind behind this is the eldest brother
Taking advantage of the night, Zhao Haoxuan began to deal with the bodies. He buried each body from the gate of the yard to the barren mountain forest to ensure that no one would find them.
Wang Xinyao pondered inwardly, feeling that she would have to develop something like corpse-dissolving water in the future, otherwise this matter would be too troublesome. Furthermore, if Zhao Haoxuan hadn't been present today, the consequences would have been disastrous, and everyone would have been in danger. Even if she had a ring space, it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen in the face of a raging fire. Furthermore, she didn't want anyone to know this secret.
"It turned out to be him!" Chen Jingyuan muttered to himself in disbelief after returning to the room.
Wang Xinyao asked curiously, "Why, do you know this person?"
Chen Jingyuan nodded and replied, "Yes, sister, he is my eldest brother's personal bodyguard. I have seen him from afar once."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said awkwardly, "Sister, I'm sorry I lied to you before. My real name is Chen Jingyuan, and I'm the crown prince of the Miao Kingdom." He immediately took out a jade token and handed it to Wang Xinyao to look at. He then recounted the whole story of why he had come to the Xia Kingdom.
Well, what kind of luck did she have? She saved a prince, and the prince even recognized her as his sister. Doesn't that mean she's a princess? You know, every girl has a princess dream!
Then, her face flushed. What was she thinking? The most urgent thing was to ensure Chen Jingyuan's safety and find a way to send him back to Miao Country safely!
"You must conceal the identity of the Miao Kingdom's prince and not tell anyone!" Wang Xinyao said with some concern. According to the current situation, some people in the Chen Kingdom do not want Chen Jingyuan to go back alive. It seems that the prince's life is in danger at any time!
"Okay, sister, I'll take note." Chen Jingyuan continued, "My eldest brother wasn't born to my mother, but to a personal maid when my father was still a prince. After my father married my mother, he had no other concubines. That maid, because of her merit in giving birth to my eldest brother, became my father's only concubine besides my mother."
He took the water Wang Xinyao offered him and drank it all in one gulp before continuing, "My mother only had my sister and me. My sister was separated from me when we were young. Everyone in the palace is afraid of me. I have no friends, only my eldest brother is by my side. I spent my entire childhood in his company! Because I cherish the friendship we shared growing up together, I pay close attention to everyone and everything around him. My eldest brother never mentioned the guard who just died. One time, I wanted to go play with him, but I saw him assigning him a task. His expression was very solemn, so I didn't dare to interrupt their conversation! I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the attempt on my life was actually my eldest brother..."
As he spoke, Chen Jingyuan began to choke up, tears streaming down his cheeks, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
Wang Xinyao couldn't help but think of the time when she was betrayed by her boss as a police officer. She secretly swore in her heart that she would never let Chen Jingyuan be forced into a desperate situation!
"Cry, you will feel better after crying, but after crying, you have to cheer up. When you are able to go back, go and take back everything that belongs to you. Your father and mother are still waiting for you to come home! We can't be soft-hearted when facing bad guys. From now on, your eldest brother is just your enemy! From tomorrow on, you have to follow your master to practice martial arts well. You must remember that all conspiracies and tricks will be powerless in the face of absolute strength!" Wang Xinyao began the brainwashing comfort!
Chen Jingyuan's tears gradually stopped. Although sadness still lingered in his eyes, a hint of stubbornness had already ignited: "Sister, I understand. I will not be weak again. I will work hard to practice martial arts and make myself stronger. When I return to my father and mother, I will take back everything that belongs to me."
Wang Xinyao nodded slightly, a look of relief in her eyes. "Very good, Jingyuan. From now on, you must transform all your pain into motivation to move forward. You still have a long way to go, and there will be difficulties one after another, but as long as you have firm faith, nothing can stop you."
Then they came to the gate of the yard to see if Zhao Haoxuan had returned. Wang Xinyao looked up at the starry sky while waiting.
"Jingyuan, do you know? Although the stars are small, they shine their own light in the darkness. We should also be like the stars. No matter how big the difficulties we face, we must stick to our beliefs and shine our own light." Wang Xinyao said softly.
Chen Jingyuan also looked at the starry sky and clenched his fists. "Sister, I will. I will definitely become the brightest star!"
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Their figures appeared particularly resolute in the moonlight. Seeing Zhao Haoxuan's return, I guess the corpse has been properly disposed of!
At dawn the next day, even though he hadn't slept well the previous night, Chen Jingyuan still got up early and walked to his master's training ground. His master was already waiting there, his eyes solemn and serious.
"Jingyuan, from today on, you will embark on a difficult journey of learning martial arts. There is no shortcut on this road, only sweat and hard work." Zhao Haoxuan's words were steady and powerful.
Chen Jingyuan straightened his back, his gaze fixed on Zhao Haoxuan with determination. "Master, I am ready. I will strive to learn martial arts, live up to your and my sister's expectations, and for my own mission."
At Zhao Haoxuan's command, Chen Jingyuan began his grueling training. He drilled the fundamentals again and again, sweat soaking his clothes, yet he never complained. Every punch and kick embodied his determination and perseverance.
By this time, Xie Dahua and the others had also woken up and were joining the training procession! Perhaps due to their young age and low alertness, they were completely unaware of what had happened last night!
Wang Xinyao had just gotten up when Xie Xiaogang arrived in his ox cart! Today, she planned to deliver the goods to Qingnianlou first, and then go to the county town to deliver the pre-ordered chestnuts to the county magistrate!
Wang Xinyao quickly washed up and loaded the goods onto the cart with Xie Xiaogang. Xie Xiaogang expertly drove the ox cart towards Qingnian Tower. Because Wang Xinyao had chartered a car, she didn't have to wait for anyone whenever she went to Ping'an Town. If she saw someone going to town, she would give them a ride.
After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at Qingnianlou. The unloading and delivery went smoothly.
After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Chen, Wang Xinyao boarded an oxcart and headed for the county town. A large basket of chestnuts, weighing over twenty pounds, was left on the cart. She couldn't help but imagine the gluttonous county magistrate's expression upon receiving the gift. She also specially left a small bag of shiitake mushrooms for the magistrate to try. After all, expanding a business requires government support, a rule that has remained unchanged throughout the dynasties.
Wang Xinyao arrived at the gate of the county government office, explained her purpose to the bailiff, and was then led in. Meanwhile, the county magistrate was pacing around inside, looking around from time to time, as if anxiously awaiting someone's arrival.
When County Magistrate Luo Qing saw the yamen runners leading Wang Xinyao and the others into the county government office, a delighted smile immediately appeared on his face. He couldn't wait to greet them and said excitedly, "Miss Wang, you're finally here!"
Wang Xinyao looked at the county magistrate in front of her and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "What a typical foodie! It turns out that he has been waiting for me because he has been thinking about these chestnuts!" Thinking of this, Wang Xinyao couldn't help laughing.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate!" Wang Xinyao bowed.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate!" Xie Xiaogang gently put down the chestnut frame on his back.
"No need to be so polite! Don't delay, I've been waiting for a long time!" After saying that, Luo Qing quickly grabbed a handful of chestnuts with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Wang Xinyao took out the bag of Agaricus edodes and said, "This is the Agaricus edodes I brought here specially. My Lord, you haven't had lunch yet, right? I can go cook this dish for you so you can try it."
When Luo Qing heard that it was food, he thanked her repeatedly, "Miss Wang, you are so thoughtful. Come with me to the back court, and by the way, help me guide those who are not doing their best. They just make unpalatable food all day long!" After saying that, he did not forget to stuff another chestnut into his mouth!
Wang Xinyao followed Luo Qing to the kitchen at the back yamen and saw several chefs busy at work. Luo Qing pointed at them and said, "These are the chefs from my county yamen. Their cooking skills are really average. I hope Miss Wang can give them some pointers."
Wang Xinyao smiled and nodded. She first observed the kitchen environment and ingredients, then began to cook. She skillfully chopped the vegetables, stir-fried them, and seasoned them. Soon, a fragrant dish of stir-fried mushrooms and meat was ready.
Luo Qing took a bite and immediately praised it endlessly: "Delicious! Delicious! Better than the best restaurant in our county! Come on, give Miss Wang a reward of 20 taels of silver!" He turned to the chefs and said, "Do you understand Miss Wang's cooking method just now? Cook the remaining mushrooms this way for me every day!"
The chefs all nodded in agreement, and Wang Xinyao was secretly happy. This money was too easy to make. And with the county magistrate's approval, doing business in the county town would be much smoother in the future.
Before leaving the county government office, Zhang Qing repeatedly told Wang Xinyao that if she had any delicious food in the future, she must give it to him first!
