Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

A faint smile appeared on her lips, and Meng Tong suddenly leaned forward and grasped the man's arm.

Slender yet strong fingers rested on Zhou Yan's wrist, and Zhou Fu behind him also snapped out of his astonishment.

Zhou Yan, on the other hand, seemed more composed. The man did not push the woman's hand away, but simply looked at her with his eyes lowered.

Meng Tong's right hand appeared to be taking a pulse, but in reality, he was using his special ability to examine Zhou Yan's body.

As his supernatural abilities silently roamed around, Meng Tong discovered that Zhou Yan had a problem with his heart; it seemed as if a piece of sheet metal had been inserted into it.

However, he was also lucky. The piece of iron was small and only attached to the edge of his heart, but it was still fatal for a military general like him.

Not only can one not use internal force, but even the range of motion cannot be too large.

Judging from the iron sheet, it has been about five years, and as time goes on, its influence on Zhou Yan is becoming more and more widespread.

This is why he has become increasingly thin.

Releasing his hand, Zhou Yan naturally pulled up the sleeve at his wrist, then stared intently at the woman and asked, "Madam, have you noticed anything?"

"You have a history of injury to this area of ​​your heart."

A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Fu's eyes, and he tightened his grip on his hands behind his back. This matter was probably only known to the prince's closest confidants.

Zhou Yan did indeed suffer a fatal injury five years ago.

"I never knew Madam Meng possessed such medical skills." A smile of appreciation appeared on Zhou Yan's lips as he frankly replied, "Yes, I did indeed suffer an injury near my heart five years ago, and since then I have been unable to use my internal energy. The doctor at the time said it was a heart ailment."

"When the prince was injured, it was with a rusty dagger."

This time, even Zhou Yan was a little unsettled; he hadn't expected that someone could see through that.

Glancing at the expressions of the master and servant, Meng Tong smiled faintly.

“There’s something near your heart. Based on my judgment, it should be a remnant from when you were injured five years ago. In addition, a sharp dagger or other knife wouldn’t chip off the metal. The only explanation is that it’s a rusty knife.”

"That's why you didn't die."

Everything the woman said was correct, and Zhou Yan's originally calm and composed eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation.

"Is Madam Meng confident?"

"Your Highness has agreed."

With a smile on his face, Meng Tong immediately understood what he meant.

Zhou Yan also looked up at the poised and elegant woman opposite him, and had to admit that she was a woman of both courage and wisdom.

A resolute glint flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes, and he replied in a low voice, "I agree. From now on, Laoshan Town will be Wuyou Valley."

"However, I have one condition."

"You say."

"You must ensure that my food is supplied first, including the seeds that the lady mentioned earlier."

Zhou Yan had his reasons; he simply placed a prison mountain there, but what he gained far exceeded its intrinsic value.

Not only will they no longer have to worry about food in the future, but they will also have sown a seed for their future development.

This is a win-win situation.

"Your Highness is indeed worthy of being called Your Highness. From now on, we will have to rely on you."

"I will tell the people in the valley about the grain issue. You can just send someone over when the time comes. The price will be the same as before."

"I am 70% certain about Your Highness's health, but Your Highness still needs to go to Worry-Free Valley in person, where everything is readily available."

Meng Tong had also kept a backup plan; to be honest, she could have solved his illness simply by using her supernatural abilities.

But just in case, and to let him know that he didn't get the better end of the deal, we had to make things complicated.

After rambling on and on, Zhou Yan and Zhou Fu only caught the phrase "70%".

You should know that they consulted all the famous doctors in the capital and even the imperial physicians in the palace.

But no one has ever said that, and almost no one is more than 20% sure.

Zhou Fu was now very excited. He looked at Meng Tong as if he were looking at a deity, his eyes sparkling and even a little frightening.

Zhou Yan's fingers trembled slightly as he rested them on the table, and he tried his best to control his excitement.

He thought he didn't have many years left, so he brought forward all his plans, which resulted in the loss of many brothers.

If what Madam Meng said is true, even if we could live for another five years, we could die in peace.

Meng Tong saw both of them excited. He didn't understand the situation but respected it, and he also sincerely hoped that they could win.

After all, this will be her support in the future.

……

By the time we left the city, it was completely dark, and heavy snow was falling. We wrapped ourselves in thick cloaks and put on raincoats.

Meng Tong walked along the field on the outskirts of the city. When she was less than a few hundred meters away, the woman checked that it was safe and then went directly into the space.

Today's chance encounter with Zhou Yan was a pleasant surprise, and even as she lay in her warm blankets, Meng Tong's mind was still racing.

Given Zhou Yan's situation, he is not short of money. Before he goes to Laoshan Town, she needs to procure some precious medicinal herbs.

The next morning, before dawn, Meng Tong finished packing and left the space.

As we walked toward the sheep farm, sure enough, the tightly closed gate opened a crack.

Pushing open the door, Meng Tong walked directly towards the sheep farm. With a wave of his hand, five thousand sheep entered his space, followed by one hundred yaks.

This whole series of actions took less than fifteen minutes, and the people inside had no idea that anyone had come at night.

But when they went to check at dawn, Meng Tong's belongings had already been taken away.

"When...when did this person arrive?"

"I don't know! I didn't hear anything yesterday."

The two people, who had waited all night to help, looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

After a long silence, one of them finally spoke up, "Forget it, just take him away. We'll tell Uncle Yan that later."

"Hmm, maybe they just don't want to disturb our rest."

As for Meng Tong, the subject of their discussion, she arrived directly at Duanshan Village in the evening, which was the result of her deliberately slowing down.

Compared to the cold of the North, the weather in Broken Mountain Village was like summer.

After taking off the thick cloak, Meng Tong took the arm of her hand and entered the courtyard.

While tending to the flowers and watering the plants in the yard, Sheng Yuanyuan turned around and saw Meng Tong.

The girl quickly put down the water ladle she was holding and ran over, saying, "Fourth Sister-in-law is back! I didn't even know you arrived."

"Are you tired? Come inside quickly and I'll get you some water. Fourth Sister-in-law, you must be hungry! This journey must have been very tiring."

The girl was so talkative that the woman had no chance to interject, but seeing that she was indeed very happy, Meng Tong also felt cheerful.

The girl led her into the house, and Sheng Yuanyuan busied herself pouring water and serving her pastries before sitting down next to her.

Where are your grandfather and the others?

Sipping his tea, Meng Tong glanced around the quiet courtyard and asked.
