Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space

Hearing this, Lin Chu gave him a reproachful look, "If you still can't speak properly, I'll have my prince dig a hole and plant you, and see if you can grow back next year."

Wu Di was about to retort when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the doorway.

As everyone looked, they saw a fine horse galloping towards them and stopping at the courtyard gate. The man on the horse dismounted, and it was none other than Nalan Ming. He threw the riding whip in his hand to Ying Qi, who was following behind him, and then strode into the courtyard.

Lin Chu and Nian Qiu both had the exact same surprised expression when they saw the newcomer. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Nalan Ming walked into the courtyard, first glancing at Lin Chu with eyes full of tenderness and doting. Nian Qiu, however, immediately threw herself at his legs and hugged him tightly, calling out in a childish voice, "Daddy~"

Nalan Ming scooped her up and held her in his arms, tapping her little nose as he asked, "Baby, have you been good? Have you made Mommy angry?"

Nianqiu's nose tickled from his rough fingers, and she couldn't help but laugh: "No, baby~ good girl!"

Nianqiu patted his chest and gave a thumbs-up.

His earnest little face made Nalan Ming burst into laughter.

Having been ignored for a long time, Wu Di pouted in dissatisfaction and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Has Your Highness returned from farming?"

Indeed, Nalan Ming, though still wearing a long robe and jade crown, had his sleeves rolled up, and his clothes and arms were covered in mud—clearly, he had been playing in the mud.

That's what Wu Di thinks.

Nalan Ming then looked at Wu Di, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Young Master Wu, what brings you to my house?"

Well, one sentence was enough to leave Wu Di speechless.

Wu Di snorted, "Does Your Highness not welcome me?"

Nalan Ming smiled faintly, "How could I dare? I'm just afraid that Young Master Wu is used to a life of luxury and wouldn't be used to our simple life here."

Lin Chu had been watching the two bickering from the sidelines. When she felt it was about time, she tugged at Nalan Ming's sleeve and said, "Alright, alright, you've had a long day, take a rest." Nalan Ming nodded, picked up Nian Qiu, and walked into the house, followed by the others.

Once inside, Dongxue and Liuqing quickly served tea and snacks. Nianqiu's eyes lit up immediately, and she reached out to grab some snacks.

Lin Chu gently tapped her little hand, "Wash your hands first." Nianqiu had no choice but to pout and let Liu Qing lead her to wash her hands obediently. Nalan Ming watched this scene with a warm feeling in his heart, and reached out to get a pastry for his wife first.

At this moment, Wu Di spoke up: "Your Highness, I heard that you have planted many osmanthus trees on the nearby wasteland. Is that true?"

Nalan Ming replied, "That is indeed the case. I intend to plant them all around the area. Once the osmanthus trees have grown, it will be a grove of osmanthus trees. Young Master Wu, are you interested? Would you like to go and take a look?" Wu Di readily agreed.

Lin Chu smiled and said, "Then I'll prepare some food to bring too, so we can have a picnic in the woods." Everyone agreed, and the room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.

Once they were ready, they set off.

The mountain land that Nalan Ming bought was not far away, and the carriage arrived in half an hour. He and Wu Di rode horses, so they had been waiting for a long time when Lin Chu's carriage arrived.

As soon as the carriage arrived, Nalan Ming took down the shovels and similar items tied to the back of the carriage and gave one to each person.

Of course, it was just him, Ying Qi, Wu Di, and Wu Di's servant Da Bao.

Wu Di stared blankly, then asked curiously, "Weren't we going on a picnic? What are you doing with all this?"

He glanced at Lin Chu, who was just smiling gloatingly and not saying anything, then turned his head to Nalan Ming, signaling him to explain.

It must be said that Nalan Ming is indeed handsome without his mask. No wonder even someone as shrewd as Lin Chu was seduced by him.

At this moment, the sunlight slanted across his fair profile, making him appear to glow, which left Wu Di somewhat stunned.

Nalan Ming, holding a shovel, raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, we're planting trees. Does Young Master Wu think that just looking at them without planting them will magically create a grove of osmanthus trees?"

Wu Di's eyes widened. "Nalan Ming, you're plotting against me!" In his anxiety, he forgot to call him "Your Highness" and started calling him by his name.

Nalan Ming had already taken the lead and headed to the wasteland to dig holes and plant trees, with Ying Qi following closely behind.

Da Bao'er looked at his young master and asked, "Master? Us...?" Wu Di had no choice but to follow.

Lin Chu, along with Nian Qiu, Dong Xue, Liu Qing, and the others, found a flat patch of grass, laid out a blanket, and set out some food.

Nianqiu watched the busy figures in the distance with curiosity, then looked at her own mother. She scurried back and forth on her short legs, sometimes going to check on her father planting trees, sometimes craving the various treats her mother brought out. Among the group of people, she seemed to be the busiest. Before long, she was sweating and muttered with a flushed face, "Mom... Bao'er, it's hot!"

When Lin Chu saw this, he smiled and pulled her into his arms. He then sat down on the blanket, took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and even gave her a grape to eat.

Before long, an osmanthus tree was planted. Nalan Ming patted the trunk with satisfaction, while Wu Di, panting, muttered that he would never come again. However, amidst his grumbling, he continued to dig the hole with his head down.

At this moment, Ying Qi spotted a wild rabbit. He called out, and the group immediately became interested. Wu Di threw down his pickaxe and ran over. Dong Xue, who had heard the conversation, was also itching to join in and looked at Lin Chu several times, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Lin Chu nodded with amusement, "Go ahead, those guys are big and careless, don't let them turn back and you won't be able to catch them."

Dongxue happily agreed and then lifted her skirt and ran up.

Lin Er, who had been watching the commotion without intervening, was startled upon seeing this. He quickly told Lin Chu and followed, saying, "Grandma, please be careful. You...you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dongxue scurried away like an eel.

Lin Er had no choice but to continue following, carefully protecting her belly.

Lin Chu looked on with curiosity and asked Liu Qing, who was standing next to her, "Is Dongxue sick? Why is Lin Er being so attentive?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing's eyes flickered, but she still spoke the truth: "Dongxue seems to be pregnant. It's still early, and she's a bit careless, so Lin Er is naturally being more careful."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu's eyes lit up with joy. "This is wonderful news! I've never heard of it before. I'll have to make sure to nourish Dongxue properly." Seeing that her mistress didn't hesitate, Liu Qing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Over there, the men surrounded the wild rabbit, with Dongxue assisting and Lin Er protecting her. It was quite a lively scene. The wild rabbit darted left and right, and Wu Di accidentally tripped and fell, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Just as the wild rabbit was about to disappear into the tree hole, Ying Qi reacted quickly and grabbed its hind leg.
