Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

"What?!" Lin stood up in shock, hardly believing what she had just heard.

Her daughter hadn't been home for a long time, and the last time she came back, it was only for a brief visit. This time, as soon as she returned, she pulled Qiao Jingjing into the inner room for a private chat.

To her surprise, her daughter told her that she was getting married, with the wedding date set for three months from now. What shocked her even more was that the marriage was arranged by imperial decree, and her son-in-law was none other than Prince Chen, a name known to all in the Great Liang!

"Mother is getting old, let me catch my breath first." Madam Lin patted her chest to calm herself down.

Qiao Jingjing quickly stepped forward to support Lin Shi and gently patted her back, "Mother, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."

After a while, Madam Lin sat down again, took Qiao Jingjing's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Jingjing, what exactly happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly issue an edict for you to marry into the Prince Chen's mansion?"

Qiao Jingjing then recounted everything that happened at the palace banquet that day, and also explained why Tantai Zhou had concealed his identity.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin frowned and said worriedly, "Although Prince Chen has made great military achievements, I've heard that he has a withdrawn and cold personality. What will you do if you marry him?"

Qiao Jingjing remained calm and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Whether he is Prince Chen or Young Master Tan, his feelings for me are the same, I'm very sure of that."

Madam Lin sighed and said helplessly, "I used to think that this person had a handsome appearance and a group of good subordinates, but I never thought that his status was so extraordinary. Well, since it is His Majesty's decree, then we can only do it this way. We must prepare your dowry well in the next three months."

Qiao Jingjing nestled in Lin's arms and said with a smile, "With Mother helping me take care of things, it can't go wrong."

Looking at her daughter, who was acting coquettishly towards her, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

“My dear daughter, I’m still worried. Your husband is no ordinary man. Even if he were from an ordinary family, or even if he were an official, if he ever mistreats you in the future, I could still speak up for you with my family’s wealth and support you. I would never leave you isolated and helpless.” She sighed as she spoke, “Alas, your husband is from the imperial family. If he ever suffers injustice in the future, I won’t be able to protect you.”

She held Qiao Jingjing's hand tightly, and added one last sentence, "Mother will be heartbroken."

Qiao Jingjing gently patted Lin Shi's hand, her eyes firm. "Mother, don't think like that. Tantai Zhou isn't the kind of person who would let me suffer. I believe in him. And even if something really happens in the future, I won't let anyone bully me. I have my own abilities."

Seeing her daughter's confident demeanor, Madam Lin felt slightly relieved. "Alright, alright, I can only trust your judgment. I will certainly prepare a proper dowry for you, so you can marry in style."

Qiao Jingjing leaned on Lin Shi's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Mother is the best. By the way, I also brought some new seeds back this time. They are all high-yield varieties. We can try planting them first. When I get married, we can show the people of Prince Chen's mansion what we are capable of."

Lin's eyes lit up. "Great! With these seeds, our family's life will definitely get better and better."

"By the way, Mother, is it okay for Mingming to be close to Shilang?"

"Hey, luckily that kid isn't completely bad yet, he's just been spoiled in the past. I only let him go to school because he's so young and I felt sorry for him. After being taught by the teachers, he's improved a lot. If your second uncle can be more discerning and properly nurture Lang'er, life won't be too difficult."

Hearing what Lin said, Qiao Jingjing felt temporarily relieved. "However, Mother should still have someone keep an eye on things. Just because Lang Ge'er is better doesn't mean his parents are thinking straight. We must make sure they don't make the wrong decision and hurt Mingming."

Knowing the second wife's character well, Madam Lin nodded and said, "Yes, Mother understands."

Just then, Xiaohe knocked on the door and said, "Auntie, Lord Tang is here and wants to see Miss."

The mother and daughter came out of the inner room. Qiao Jingjing had also planned to meet Tang Tianbao. After the space had been upgraded several times, many farm tools had also been upgraded. Not only were the structures simple, but the efficiency had also been greatly improved.

Upon entering the living room, Qiao Jingjing only saw one person sitting there drinking tea.

He looked around and beckoned to Xiao He, "Where is Lord Tang?"

Xiaohe was taken aback by the question.

Upon hearing the voice, Tang Tianbao put down his cup and immediately stood up to bow: "Princess, it's been a long time."

"Uh? You're Lord Tang?" Qiao Jingjing looked the person in front of her up and down.

The Tang Tianbao I remembered, while not exactly handsome, was at least a tall and upright middle-aged man. But the man in front of me had a double chin that almost reached his chest, and his belly was piled high with layers of fat, making him look like a round ball. His skin had also become much paler.

Tang Tianbao smiled somewhat awkwardly: "It is indeed your humble servant. The county princess's fiefdom has excellent soil and water, ahahaha, and I have also gained a little weight, just a little... that's all."

Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasingly saying, "It seems that the feng shui has made Lord Tang's life quite comfortable."

Tang Tianbao scratched his head. "Your Highness, you flatter me. I've come up with some new ideas these days, and I would appreciate it if Your Highness could take a look."

This idea coincided with Qiao Jingjing's, and the two discussed the new farm tools for an hour.

"Lord Tang, I only have one prototype. You must be careful and put it back together exactly as it was when you take it apart. This harvester means that our grain harvesting efficiency has reached an unprecedented level. I want you to swear that you will never leak the core technology."

Tang Tianbao was filled with emotion. "I swear on the honor and disgrace of the Tang family that I will never betray the Great Liang. If I break this oath, the Tang family ancestral hall will be in turmoil."

After resolving this matter, Qiao Jingjing then summoned the village head and several clan elders.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, she got straight to the point: "Grandpa Village Head, I've called you all here today to announce two things."
