Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1697: Chapter 1696: Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu Have Arrived

To be honest, if you ignore the lack of personal freedom, her time at the Duan family was actually quite comfortable. Every day, countless people came eagerly bearing gold and silver—and this was just from Longshi Country. The news hadn’t even spread to Yuchi Country and Taian Country yet.

These three countries may be small, but they represent an entirely new market.

The combined wealth of the nobles from these three nations is enough to rival the nobility of the Capital City in Daqi. In fact, these three small countries might even be wealthier than the Capital City.

The affluent families in the Capital City often belong to Aristocratic Families, with wealth accumulated over generations of inheritance and tradition. However, the situation in these three small countries is different—they are rich with gold mines, silver mines, and various other mineral resources. Even gemstones, which are considered precious in Daqi, are abundant here.

She wanted to bring all of it back to Daqi.

Struggling under the weight of her overwhelming debts, she now found herself wanting to claim any gold, silver, or jewels she laid eyes on. Yang Wenxiao had mentioned investing all the post-war profits into building roads and canals, but she figured she could take this opportunity to make a significant fortune in advance!

Besides, this region also had many unique food ingredients that the Capital City lacked, like the “iron fruit,” which was essentially a coconut. Using the coconut shell to stew chicken created an unbelievably savory flavor, and she really wanted to bring some back to the Capital City.

The people here ate Dami, and since the rice could ripen three times a year, its quality was excellent. Over the past few days, she had ground the Dami into flour and made rice noodles, rice rolls, and rice vermicelli—all brand-new creations. In the Capital City, people primarily consumed wheat-based foods, and she had previously focused on making those, so these dishes were her first attempt.

Tch, the more she thought about it, the less she wanted to leave…

After making sure the cart loading was complete, she returned to her room with some melancholy. After washing up, she collapsed onto the bed.

Four maids were still following closely by her side. As usual, she pulled a thin blanket over herself.

After a few days, she had grown accustomed to being watched while she slept…

Thinking about the long line of people outside during the day, she couldn’t help but sigh in frustration once again. Each order she declined meant losing out on silver and gold.

This Bei Yun was truly annoying—why couldn’t he wait until she took full advantage and cleaned up financially before heading to the frontlines?

Just as she was about to sigh again, she suddenly felt a jab on her waist. At the same time, the thin blanket covering her was abruptly pulled away.

The move was so unexpected that her body instinctively rolled inward, trying to hide deeper in the bed. Based on normal patterns, the intruder would almost certainly follow this up with a large blade chopping down on her!

But in the next moment, she found herself falling into a warm and familiar embrace.

It was the embrace she had deeply longed for before Bei Yun had taken her away—the comforting warmth instantly stopped the scream that had been about to escape her lips. She jerked her head up and saw the familiar smile of Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang, close and unmistakably present.

Tong Sanlang, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Dazed, her initial shock gave way to a rush of emotion. Her nose tingled, and she instinctively moved to wrap her arms around him—but just then, a piece of paper was suddenly thrust in front of her face. On it were seven words: Don’t make a sound. Follow us now.

She then noticed that besides Tong Sanlang, there was another person in the room—Bei Lingsu.

Bei Lingsu was there too, smiling at her while gesturing to the words on the paper.

Qiao Xiaomai quickly nodded.

Yes, she couldn’t make a sound. She had to leave immediately.

It was just a shame about the dozens of carts full of gold and silver outside. With Bei Lingsu around, there was absolutely no way she could sneak those into her portable space.

Tong Sanlang stepped off the bed, one arm still securing Qiao Xiaomai’s waist. Then, he looked towards Bei Lingsu.

Bei Lingsu nodded at him, moving with quiet steps towards the door.

When the three reached the doorway, they found Bei Yun standing there, his hands folded behind his back, smiling at them brightly.
