The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

Shangguan Zhihua suffered a great loss and almost lost her life.

Xiao Fan felt a little guilty and naturally wanted to make it up to her. Various gifts and tonics were delivered to the painting garden in a continuous stream, along with the message: "Take good care of yourself and recover. I will naturally come to stay here. For now, don't think about anything else, just focus on taking care of your health!"

"Yes, thank you, sir." Shangguan Zhihua nodded obediently.

Now, looking so haggard, she's no match for any man. She'd be better off not thinking about it and focusing on taking care of her health.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Xiao Fan went on another long trip. On the day he returned, he made an exception and did not go to the Qin Garden, but instead stayed at the Hua Garden.

He thoughtfully instructed people to tidy up the garden, decorating it to resemble a bridal chamber. Looking up, all she could see was pink. Although not true red, Shangguan Zhihua was content.

That night, he showed Shangguan Zhihua the utmost affection, comparable to his wedding night with Qian.

Qian didn't sleep a wink all night. She heard that the painting garden had asked for water three times in one night, and she was so angry that she almost went mad. She stood by the window, looking at the bright moonlight, her eyes filled with venom, her face as white as paper, and her hands clenched into fists.

He was away on a trip for a month. Shouldn't she be the one comforting and caring for him during this time? Why is it that when he returns, the person he wants to hold in his arms and cherish isn't her?!

Who is Shangguan Zhihua? Just a lowly maidservant of lowly status? How could someone so lowly deserve such pity and affection from the dignified heir of the royal family?!

Qian Fengqin was so angry that her eyes were about to burst. Xiao Fan's words and actions were like a knife to her heart. She bit her lower lip tightly and exuded a terrifying chill.

Nourished by love, Shangguan Zhihua worked even harder to write recipes for Shili Xiang's dishes and desserts. She racked her brains and finally remembered several delicious dishes and dessert recipes from the "Manchu Han Imperial Feast." And she immediately and unconditionally offered them to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was overjoyed and immediately rewarded her with ten thousand taels of silver, as well as many jewels and ornaments.

With the money and jewelry, Shangguan Zhihua's confidence soared. She used the money to buy over a dozen strong men, a dozen teenage boys, and a dozen teenage girls from the labor market. She settled them all in a farm she had secretly purchased, about a hundred li outside the capital. Each of these strong men had some martial arts skills, and given their burly builds, their fighting ability was quite considerable.

She also hired a martial arts master at a high price to instruct the people at the estate in martial arts, planning to use him to deal with Qian Fengqin and Zisu in a year or two. Of course, this also included Zisu's mother and younger brother, and even Zisu's uncle's family of three.

Furthermore, she will not let go of anyone who has ever looked down on her or kicked her when she was down. She won't kill them all, but she'll make them suffer a fate worse than death. Only in this way can she quell the hatred in her heart!

I, Shangguan Zhihua, almost became a noblewoman of a noble family, but now I am forced to submit to others, becoming a concubine devoid of personality and dignity. Is it easy for me? Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, thinking of my man being intimate with another woman, and I don't even have the right to be jealous, a fire burns in my heart.
