Han Chenghe tapped her head lightly, then turned to Shen Muxue and said, "It's okay to plant a few acres, but if we plant all of them, wouldn't that be too extravagant?"

Although the sweet potato harvest is abundant, it is not easy to store.

In the end, you have to dig a cellar to house it.

More importantly, most of the food people eat on a daily basis is rice, so compared to sweet potatoes, it is still unclear whether the latter can be sold.

Han Chenghe is quite knowledgeable about people's livelihood.

Unlike Han Luwen, who made decisions just by speaking casually.

Shen Muxue said firmly, "You may not believe this, but I had a dream a few days ago. In the dream, heavy snow turned into summer rain, flooding most of the state capital. Therefore, if you want to buy land to grow crops, only sweet potatoes are suitable. If you plant other crops, I'm afraid you will lose everything."

Shen Muxue looked at the sky. She had been out for a long time and didn't want to delay any longer, so she asked him to think it over before coming to her.

Then she took Qingyi downstairs.

As soon as she stepped onto the carriage, Shen Muxue suddenly remembered that she had left her cloak at the inn.

"Miss, go ahead. I'll go back and get it."

Qingyi returned to the inn.

The carriage started slowly.

Shen Muxue was taking a nap with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard a loud noise from the street. She opened the car curtain and saw Ling Fan pulling Shen Leyao into the alley next to her.

She motioned the carriage closer.

Then, Shen Leyao's disdainful voice was clearly heard: "Brother Ling Fan, I also heard about your injury. It is a matter of great importance to the continuation of our family line. If I marry you, won't I be a widow for the rest of my life? Could you please show mercy and let me go?"

Ling Fan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Our marriage is a done deal. If you change your mind, what will happen to the reputation of our Anping Marquisate? Besides, do you really think I don't know about your little affair? What's going on between you and that groom?"

As he spoke, Ling Fan grabbed Shen Leyao's wrist and pressed her against the wall, his expression so fierce that he seemed like a different person.

Shen Leyao was frightened by this sudden action.

She quickly put on a pitiful look, "Brother Ling Fan, how could a rich lady like me have anything to do with a groom? Those are just gossips from others. I am innocently implicated. Brother Ling Fan, I don't want to bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion, but... but I have to consider my future too. There are so many people in the Marquis' Mansion and they are full of gossips. If I don't have a child to rely on, how will I live in the future..."

Speaking of this, Shen Leyao couldn't stop crying.

After crying, Ling Fan felt a little soft-hearted.

Today, Jin sent someone to propose breaking off the engagement, and his words were full of disdain. He was so angry that he had no place to vent it, so he went to find Shen Leyao.

But what I didn't expect was that she actually started to dislike me.

Once upon a time, who was it that tried so hard to seduce him, who was it that led him into the land of tenderness, and vowed to be with him through life and death?

Did you promise to stick with him for the rest of your life?

Ling Fan knew in his heart that Shen Muxue was his wife-to-be, and given her beauty, Ling Fan never had any other thoughts about her.

However, when that naturally charming woman tempted him, he was ultimately unable to hold on to his bottom line.

He firmly believed that any man would find it difficult to control himself in the face of such temptation.

He just made a mistake that any ordinary man might make.

After careful consideration, he betrayed Shen Muxue.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Leyao, who had treated him wholeheartedly, not only didn't come to visit him once after he was injured, but was busy raising funds for fame.

It was as if he had completely forgotten that there was such a person as him.

Now it's even worse. He is accompanying the Princess of Chu and the little princess on a tour and is even thinking of breaking off the engagement.

In the past, whenever he felt a little unwell, Shen Muxue would feel very distressed, seek medical treatment and ask for medicine, and be very considerate.

Comparing the two, Ling Fan felt that he was totally wrong.

But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.

Ling Fan warned Shen Leyao, "This is only a temporary injury. I'm not powerless. Just sit back and wait to be your bride. On the eighth day of next month, I will come and marry you."

Because of Shen Leyao's matter, Marquis Anping was furious with him.

It was said that his wife, who had not yet married him, had caused the Marquis's mansion to pay a compensation of ten thousand taels of silver for the refugee issue. She had caused so much trouble before even entering the mansion. Who knew what kind of trouble the Marquis's mansion would suffer in the future.

He also warned Ling Fan that once she married into the family, she must be strictly disciplined and must never be allowed to show up in public like this again.

Ling Fan agreed on the surface.

But he knew in his heart that his father was planning to replace the crown prince.

After all, if the news about him got outside, the reputation of the Marquisate would be completely lost.

Therefore, he not only had to recover from his injuries, but he also had to get married.

After all, if he could marry into the Duke's Mansion, his position as the Crown Prince would be as solid as a rock.

Shen Leyao felt that Ling Fan's behavior was strange and did not dare to annoy him again, so she nodded obediently.

After leaving the alley, I was extremely anxious.

Her target is the palace, and she has to find a way to get rid of Ling Fan as soon as possible.

Just as she was getting anxious, she unexpectedly brushed past a carriage. Shen Leyao screamed, holding her chest and gasping for breath. When she looked up, she saw Shen Muxue looking at her with a smile.

"Second sister, do you need me to take you there?"

Shen Leyao's eyes rolled and she almost blurted out "No need", but she seemed to suddenly remember something and a smile broke out on her face.

"Sister, the Princess of Chu will hold a plum blossom banquet at the Duke's Mansion soon, and has invited many famous ladies from the capital. I have specially left an invitation for you, so you must not miss it." After saying this, he actually took out an invitation from his sleeve.

"Okay, I'll definitely keep the appointment."

Shen Muxue had a perfect smile on her lips, thinking: It's just acting, who can't do it?

After lowering the curtain, Shen Muxue stared at the invitation in her hand, and a meaningful arc gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This is not a Plum Blossom Banquet at all, it's probably a Hongmen Banquet with a hidden secret.

Qingyi returned, glanced at the invitation, and smiled coldly.

"If someone shows unwarranted attention, he's either a traitor or a thief. Miss, it's better for us to avoid him."

Shen Muxue shook her head slightly: "There are no thieves in the world, but there is a principle of guarding against thieves. I happen to be free recently, I want to see what tricks she plays."

In the past few days, Jin's status in the mansion has risen sharply. After all, her sister is the Princess of Chu, and even the current emperor has to respectfully call her the Emperor's sister-in-law when he sees her.

This time, the Plum Blossom Banquet of the Duke's Mansion will not only be attended by the women of the capital, but even the princess and the queen are confirmed to attend. The Duke's Mansion has always been high-profile, and this time it wants to show the prominence of the family.

Shen Leyao followed Princess Rongxi everywhere and rarely went home.

In the blink of an eye, the agreed day has arrived.

Shen Muxue was buried in her study of The Book of Wealth, and Qingyi couldn't help herself. "Miss, all the jewelry and jade shops are packed these days. Don't you plan to buy a few more outfits? When all the daughters of the capital's wealthy families gather, a competition of beauty and splendor is inevitable. We can't lose out on appearances."

Those ladies from famous families have nothing to do on weekdays and have no other entertainment except competing with each other.

When they get together, they either discuss whose clothes and jewelry are more beautiful, or laugh at which young lady from a side branch is dressed shabbily.
