In the Zuixian Tower in the county town, Chuntao,

Miss, shall we go out today?

Fang Miaoru:

We've been here for two days now, so let's go out for a walk today. Let Shopkeeper Fang take care of things.

Chuntao:

It’s Miss Sun.

Ding, ding, ding, Miss Sun, you call me old slave.

Fang Miaoru:

Shopkeeper Fang, please tell me about high-yield grain varieties.

Shopkeeper Fang replied:

Miss Sun, this is the information provided by the person who provided the prescription to this old slave.

Fang Miaoru:

Oh! Shopkeeper Fang, have you verified it?

Replying to Ms. Sun, it has been confirmed. This high-yield grain variety originated in Baijia Village, Liping County, and was discovered by the Liping County Lord.

Fang Miaoru, you really underestimate her.

Shopkeeper Fang replied, "Yes, Miss Sun. You really underestimated this country bumpkin. You say this is strange. She can't read, she's never been out of the house. A girl who grew up in the countryside shouldn't know anything! But how did this girl learn all this?"

No matter how puzzled Fang Miaoru and the other two were, Siyu was at home eating, sleeping, playing, and doing whatever she was supposed to do.

Angelica dahurica:

Miss, the soybeans are already soaked.

Siyu:

Okay, let Li Si go to Great Grandfather's house to borrow the stone mill. I'll go to Second Aunt's house later and come back to make you some fresh food.

White Peony Root:

I asked excitedly, "Really? I'm making new food again."

Siyu looked at Baishao. This guy must have been afraid of hunger since childhood. His eyes lit up when he heard about food.

Long Linxiao

Rain girl, are you ready? We should go.

Siyu, oh, here I come, here I come.

-

In Zuixianlou, Fang Miaoru was still sighing.

A country girl is quite impressive! Aren't they all cheap girls from the countryside? How could this girl be so impressive? She offered a waterwheel and a curved plow, and yet she was even given the title of county lady. Not simple! Well, then, let's go meet them today.

Chuntao:

Miss, we can just let her come to see you, why don’t you go to see her in person.

If she had known what was best for her, she would have obediently presented the new grain seeds to the Prime Minister.

Fang Miaoru:

You don't understand this. What she presented has already caught the emperor's eye, and now she's discovered a high-yield grain variety. We all know this news, let alone the emperor. Just wait and see! As long as the planting is successful, who knows how the emperor will reward her! Fang Miaoru squinted her eyes and said, "I can't believe it! A country bumpkin actually has such a talent."

Shopkeeper Fang:

What if the county lord doesn't give us the grain seeds and planting methods?"

Fang Miaoru:

If she obeys, then she will definitely benefit. If she doesn't know what's good for her, well, well, well.

Chuntao:

She flattered him, saying, "No matter how great you are, you can never compare to me, young lady!" You are the most beautiful woman in our Yulong Dynasty, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. And how can a country bumpkin like her compare? She can only farm, and not much else. And her family background is even worse. You have an aunt who is a noble concubine, and you're the granddaughter of the Prime Minister's family. What does she have? No family background, no connections, no education. She's just a small county lady, bestowed upon her by the Emperor.

Correct.

Miss, you are second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

Fang Miaoru: She was so delighted by Chuntao that she pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and handed it to Chuntao.

I give you this as a reward for being able to speak. Chun Tao knelt down happily and said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you for the reward."

Fang Miaoru:

Okay, let’s go out for a walk. The two of them walked out of Zuixianlou in a happy mood.

Two people, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, were walking down the street, chatting and laughing. It was quite a sight.

Long Linxiao:

Little girl, I hope you are feeling better now. How do you feel?

Siyu: I'm almost better now. I'm no longer weak. Can I learn martial arts now? You can teach me now!

Long Linxiao raised his hand and rubbed Siyu's hair. He said, "Okay," and smiled dotingly.

Opposite Prince Xiao, stood a pair of young girls, staring straight at them.

Chuntao raised her hand and waved it in front of Fang Miaoru. "Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Chuntao suspiciously followed Fang Miaoru's gaze and looked ahead. "Miss, this, this, this is Prince Xiao." "How could he, he, he be here too?" Chuntao pointed in a trembling voice. "Prince Xiao, how could this be? How could this be, Miss?" Chuntao fumbled to explain that it was possible that Prince Xiao had been bewitched by that little bitch.

Fang Miaoru was furious, tugging at the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with rage and hatred. She wanted to rush over and tear the smile off that bitch's face. She should have been standing by Cousin Xiao's side, so why did she let a country girl of unknown origin stand beside him? She really wanted to tear her into pieces, she wanted to tear her apart.

The woman standing at another intersection looked at the two gangs over there. She looked at Bai Siyu and the man beside her. Then she looked at Fang Miaoru.

I knew these two gangs were definitely playing out a drama of two women fighting for one man. How does that saying go? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This time, if I want to deal with her again, I have an ally. So what if it's the county lord? This time, I have another way. I must make him suffer a fate worse than death. Let him occupy the bowl and look at the pot, and let all the men revolve around him.

Huang Ziwei muttered incessantly, as if she were mentally ill. Clearly, Brother Yanchen and I were childhood sweethearts, and he had even saved my life. We'd played together since we were little, so why had he stopped liking me now that I was older? And now that he'd fallen in love with someone else, there was no way she could get him to do what she wanted, no matter what she said.

I had committed myself to the philanthropist Du Dahai, precisely to avenge that damned girl and make Liu Yanchen regret his actions. I had used every trick in my book to coax him into agreeing to help me avenge them. But after just one move, the useless old man was arrested. It truly lived up to the saying, "A hemp rope breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune seeks only the unfortunate." I absolutely could not let this bitch off and let her live a life of luxury while I lived such a miserable life.

The three gangs are standing in a three-way balance of power.

Only Siyu and Long Linxiao were unaware of the current situation and were still talking and laughing.

Fang Miaoru felt blinded by their laughter. She wanted to go up and say hello, but she was afraid that Long Linxiao would ignore her and lose face. So she could only stand there and watch quietly.

Siyu felt an unfriendly gaze staring at her, so she stopped and looked around, but saw nothing.

Long Linxiao noticed her abnormality and asked what was wrong.

Siyu replied, it’s nothing, I just feel like someone is watching us from behind.

Long Linxiao also looked up and looked around. He lowered his head and said, "No?" Long Linxiao felt that the other party should have no ill intentions, so he didn't notice them.

He knew the little girl wouldn't do this for no reason or reason. If she sensed someone, then that meant someone was staring at them with malicious eyes.

Siyu:

Let's go!

Long Linxiao asked:

Do you want to buy anything else?

Siyu: Let’s go directly to my second aunt’s place!

The two continued walking towards Shang Yitang.

Fang Miaoru stood there, quietly watching them walk away, talking and laughing.

Huang Ziwei stood in the corner and watched them disappear from her sight.

Fang Miaoru clenched her fists and looked in the direction they disappeared, feeling resentful. She, a distinguished young lady from the prime minister's mansion, was actually no match for a country bumpkin. She had been so attentive to him, saying all the nice things he could, but he had always ignored her and never had a good face. And now, in front of that little girl, he was actually chatting and laughing, trying to cheer her up. She hated him so much.

Fang Miaoru: Calm down and say, let’s go!
