The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

After saying goodbye to Cui Yingying and Xu Ping, Wang Xinyao decided to go to the salt field to find out what was going on, and by the way, find out the truth about He Qing and Lan Ting!

The scale of the salt field is huge, like a salt castle. It is probably the largest salt field in the entire Xia Kingdom.

Wang Xinyao walked into the salt field and looked around. She saw the workers working busily and orderly. Everything seemed so well organized.

The workers in the salt factory had all changed into their work clothes. Wang Xinyao felt a surge of accomplishment when she saw the former beggars now smiling slightly while working.

With the successful trial production of the first batch of salt, the salt from the salt field was trial-sold in various stores in Nanhu County.

Salt has always been a commodity in short supply, especially the salt sold exclusively by the government, which has no worries about sales.

Seeing Wang Xinyao coming, Zhou Shen immediately stopped what he was doing.

"My benefactor, how did you find time to come today? Please come in!" Zhou Shen led Wang Xinyao to his office. After closing the door, he immediately threw himself in a bow and said, "Thank you for saving Yingying's life."

Ever since Zhou Shen learned that Wang Xinyao saved Cui Yingying, from that moment on, he regarded Wang Xinyao as his adoptive parent from the bottom of his heart, and the gratitude and respect were deeply rooted in his heart.

"Brother Zhou, please stop being like this and get up!" Wang Xinyao said repeatedly, "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite!"

Hearing this, Zhou Shen's face instantly bloomed into an even brighter smile.

"Actually, I came here today just to check out the current situation at the salt farm." Wang Xinyao smiled, turned to look at Zhou Shen, and continued, "I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. Brother Zhou, you've been working so hard lately!"

"Your words are too kind! These are all my responsibilities and it's not hard at all! It's my great honor to be able to contribute to the salt field!" In response to Wang Xinyao's praise, Zhou Shen quickly waved his hands and responded respectfully.

Wang Xinyao remembered the purpose of her visit and immediately stopped smiling. Her eyes became focused, and she immediately asked Zhou Shen, "By the way, Brother Zhou, do you know anything about He Qing and Lan Ting?"

Zhou Shen couldn't help but frown at this question. He thought for a moment before answering, "Well... I've had some dealings with them during my work. Their style of doing things is quite smooth. Furthermore, their tactics are quite cunning and deceitful. However, they were brought here by Lord Yang, so even if I'm dissatisfied, I can't say anything."

At this time, Wang Xinyao lowered her voice and said, "Brother Zhou, Sister Cui just got some important information after some inquiries. It turns out that He Qing and Lan Ting are here because they were assigned by them to monitor the every move of the two Master Yangs."

"What? It's actually them!" Zhou Shen's face was filled with astonishment upon hearing this. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I didn't expect them to hide it so deeply. If they hadn't known the truth, I'm afraid Lord Yang and the others would have been kept in the dark forever!"

After a brief pause, Wang Xinyao said solemnly, "Now that we know their details, dealing with this matter will be much easier! Since their purpose is to monitor us, we might as well take advantage of their tactics and provide them with some seemingly useful but actually insignificant information. Brother Zhou, let's go and meet these two together!"

Wang Xinyao and Zhou Shen walked into the official office area together. They saw Yang Chenhui and Deputy Guard Chief Lan Ting training the guards. Their movements were swift and coordinated, and their shouts were deafening.

Wang Xinyao slowly walked forward, bowed to Yang Chenhui, and said, "Greetings, Sir Yang!"

Yang Chenhui looked over and saw Wang Xinyao. He immediately laughed heartily, his laughter as loud as a bell. "Haha, it's Miss Wang! How come you have time to come here today? You are a rare guest!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the guards beside him to practice on their own.

Lan Ting, who was standing aside, stared at Wang Xinyao with a scrutinizing look, as if he wanted to see through her.

Wang Xinyao ignored this and continued with a focused smile, "A few days ago, my husband was hunting in the mountains and was fortunate enough to capture two ferocious wild wolves. Since you gentlemen are new here, I thought I'd give you one of them so you can taste the delicious wild game! Steward Zhou has already instructed the kitchen staff to prepare it, and I'm sure it'll be on the table soon."

"Wolf meat is a very rare meat. Thank you Miss Wang for your generous gift!" Yang Chenhui bowed to Wang Xinyao with a smile on his face.

He then added earnestly, "We've been in Nanhu County for almost a month, but I've never met Miss Wang's husband! If the opportunity arises in the future, I hope Miss Wang will be willing to introduce him to someone like him. A hunting expert like your husband would be a great help to our salt works if he could serve as a guard!"

Hearing Yang Chenhui's words, Wang Xinyao immediately smiled and responded softly, "I would like to thank Lord Yang for his appreciation and support on behalf of my husband."

"It's just that my husband is a bit old, and hunting is his only hobby in life. He's long been accustomed to a free and solitary lifestyle." Wang Xinyao continued, "He's my son-in-law, and he's very proud. Apart from the familiar folks in my village, he usually doesn't like to interact with strangers outside!"

"Oh? So that's how it is. He's actually marrying into your family. No wonder he doesn't want to show up to outsiders easily! But, Miss Wang, you are so outstanding. Even if your husband is marrying into your family as a son-in-law, he would definitely be considered to have made a fortune!" At this point, Yang Chenhui seemed to be getting more and more interested. He asked curiously, "I wonder how old your husband is this year, Miss Wang?"

Wang Xinyao immediately bowed respectfully: "To be honest, sir, my husband is thirty-five this year!"

"Thirty-five! So old?" Yang Chenhui couldn't help but shake his head. "What a shame, what a shame! Why would Miss Wang marry such an old man?"

"Sir, my husband looks average, but he treats me very well!" Wang Xinyao immediately revealed a helpless look. "I have three children and was once a widow. People in the village say I'm unlucky. It's rare to meet someone who treats me and my children well and doesn't mind the rumors of unlucky husbands. This man is even willing to marry into my family, so I'm very satisfied!"
