After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

With Shen Lu's help, the two of them finally finished loosening the soil on the plot of land before it got completely dark.

However, we can't just plant the seeds directly; we need to add fertilizer to the land first.

Chemical fertilizers are definitely not allowed; manure must be used.

Fortunately, the Qin family manor has vegetable gardens, and there is no shortage of pig manure and chicken manure, all of which are well decomposed and can be used directly after being transported over.

Ye Bai's plan was quite good, but he overlooked a very crucial issue.

That is, the smell of manure is so strong that many people simply cannot stand it.

"Ye Bai! You've made this place stink so bad, are you trying to kill me with the stench?"

Early in the morning, Qin Wanqing was so overwhelmed by the strong smell that she ran out in her pajamas and glared angrily at Ye Bai.

She now strongly suspects that Ye Bai's meddling in this land was a deliberate attempt to get revenge on her.

Because her room window was the closest to this piece of land.

Of course, that wasn't the only reason she was so angry.

Perhaps because of her unexpected intimate encounter with Ye Bai yesterday, Qin Wanqing had another very erotic dream.

When I woke up, the sheets were wet again...

While washing the sheets with a flushed face, Qin Wanqing kept gritting her teeth.

She couldn't remember the details of her dream very clearly, but she was certain that the stinky man was Ye Bai.

It's one thing for this guy to bully her in her dreams, but in reality he also fumigates her with manure; you can imagine how unpleasant that must have been.

"Uh... I overlooked that..."

Ye Bai shrank back, feeling somewhat guilty.

He was so focused on liking this vacant plot of land that he forgot it was too close to the old house and villa, and the smell of manure would easily drift over there.

"That's right, Miss, you should quickly persuade the young master to stop causing trouble."

Shen Lu, with a pained expression, started to complain from the side.

She did most of the work of transporting and applying fertilizer, while Ye Bai directed the work from the side.

The little girl wanted to protest and ask for workers from the Qin family manor to do the work, but Ye Bai ruthlessly refused.

As for the reasons, they are quite sufficient.

This is the first step in making Shen Lu's kung fu stronger, requiring her to work hard and endure physical and mental strain.

So even though the little girl disliked the taste, she could only grit her teeth and endure it in the end.

But seeing the young lady at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.

Although she was adopted by the Qin family, she was also pampered by Old Madam Qin and Qin Wanqing since she was a child, and had never done such dirty and tiring work before.

Moreover, as girls, regardless of age, they naturally have a strong aversion to such smelly things.

She has been able to persevere until now entirely because of her belief in defeating the giant hammer.

"Ye Bai, are you even human? Making Lulu do this kind of work?"

Seeing Shen Lu covered in dirt while Ye Bai looked as clean as if he had just crawled out of bed, Qin Wanqing felt both heartache and anger.

"Miss, please don't be angry. It was...it was something I did willingly..."

Seeing that Qin Wanqing was completely enraged, Shen Lu quickly whispered an explanation for Ye Bai.

Although the little girl hated the smell of manure, she knew which was more important than becoming stronger in kung fu.

If she really angers her son-in-law and he stops helping her become stronger, then she'll truly have nowhere to turn for help.

"...You're a good-for-nothing too!"

Qin Wanqing glared at Shen Lu, feeling utterly disappointed in her.

No one knows what kind of bewitching potion Ye Bai gave this little girl. In less than a month, the importance of the son-in-law has even surpassed that of the young lady herself.

Qin Wanqing is now starting to wonder if, one day, she and Ye Bai really can't get along anymore and she kicks him out of the Qin family, will Shen Lu follow him around like a puppy, helping him carry all his luggage...?

"Never mind, I'll just find another place."

Ye Bai didn't insist any further, after all, the problem Qin Wanqing pointed out made a lot of sense.

The old villa holds a very special position within the Qin Family Manor.

Not only because Old Madam Qin resides here, but also because this is the place responsible for receiving distinguished guests.

If one day a distinguished guest arrives, only to be overwhelmed by the smell of manure, the Qin family will instantly become the laughingstock of all the wealthy families in Jingzhou.

"Huh, that's pretty much it!"

Seeing Ye Bai unusually obedient, Qin Wanqing's pretty face finally softened a bit. She glared at him and then turned and left.

She wasn't like Ye Bai, a person with nothing to do; she had to go to work and didn't have much time to waste in the mornings.

"Son-in-law, how about we stop planting? I think the vegetables we have at home are quite delicious..."

Hearing that Ye Bai was actually planning to change locations meant that all her previous efforts had been wasted and she would have to start all over again.

Moreover, the workload this time will be even greater, because the manure that has already been placed in the ground, even if it is not dug out and transported away, must be covered with soil so that the smell can dissipate slowly.

"We still need to plant, but let's take care of this place first."

Ye Bai shook his head. This time, he didn't let Shen Lu do all the work. Instead, he grabbed a shovel and started working himself.

After finishing his work, eating a bite, taking a shower, and changing his clothes, Ye Bai accompanied Old Madam Qin to the park to listen to the opera.

After she fully recovered, this was the matter that Old Madam Qin kept on her mind.

"Xiao Bai, how was your time with Daji and the others yesterday?"

After listening to a play, during a break, Old Madam Qin looked at Ye Bai with a smile and asked.

"It's alright, a bit noisy, but the food is quite delicious."

Ye Bai answered honestly.

He was a quiet person and wasn't interested in these kinds of gatherings of wealthy young people.

But as long as there is delicious food, he doesn't dislike it.

Of course, it's also because he can still eat something fresh now. Once he's had all the good food, he'll probably lose interest completely.

"Did you tell Daji that you saved her?"

Old Madam Qin asked meaningfully.

"No, it was just a small favor, nothing at all."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Yesterday, Zhu Daji didn't mention that matter at all, so Ye Bai realized that he had indeed been led astray by Qin Wanqing.

The reason why Madam Zhu and Zhu Daji came to the Qin family as guests was not to thank him for saving her like a hero.

That's normal. None of the four of them mentioned it, so it's no wonder Zhu Daji knew.

However, this is actually a good thing for Ye Bai.

"It's just as I guessed."

Grandma Qin smiled even more happily, increasingly feeling that this grandson-in-law was exactly what she wanted.

If it were anyone else, faced with a girl as beautiful and graceful as Zhu Daji, they probably would have already revealed the truth to her.

It's not that there's any ulterior motive behind doing this, like winning a girl's heart, but as a man, especially a young man, he still enjoys the gratitude and admiration of a beautiful girl.

But it's clear that Ye Bai isn't that kind of person.

His purpose in saving people was solely to save them, without seeking any reward; it was the epitome of purity.

"By the way, we're going to visit your Grandma Zhu in a few days. She wants to thank you properly."

Old Madam Qin spoke again.

Ye Bai was taken aback and said, "Thank me? Didn't Zhu Daji not know that?"

Old Madam Qin smiled and said, "Daji doesn't know, but I told your grandmother Zhu yesterday..."

"What?"

Ye Bai's eyes widened, somewhat dumbfounded.
