Ten days later, Shi Qingluo had already delivered all the beehives she had.

They could only deliver more after Mo Qingling brought in the beehives he bought from outside.

She and Xiao Hanzheng went to take a look at the fields in the Taoist temple.

The corn was ready for harvest.

Shi Qingluo snapped a piece of corn. “Old Xiao, let’s eat boiled corn cobs tonight.”

Xiao Hanzheng wanted to hold his forehead. “My wife, let’s all of us taste one each. We’ll keep the rest for planting.”

There seemed to be quite a lot of corn harvested here, but it wasn’t enough for planting and distribution.

Shi Qingluo held the broken corn cobs and suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if she had eaten a lot of corn stockpile for next year.

She sighed. “Then don’t eat one each. Let’s each eat half of it.”

If they wanted to eat corn without any constraints, they would have to wait until next year.

After the corn was made known to the public, she would buy more land and hire more people to plant more.

She wanted to eat corn cakes, corn buns, and so on.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his little wife’s appearance and said with a chuckle, “You don’t need to feel so guilty.

“Moreover, our family won’t be able to keep many corn seeds, so if we want to eat corn freely, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until the year after next.”

Even the emperor would have to use the seeds sparingly, so how could the emperor reserve too many for them.

Shi Qingluo paused for a moment and glared at Xiao Hanzheng. “Mood spoiler.”

Xiao Hanzheng laughed out loud and lowered his head to kiss her face. “Why don’t we secretly hide some?”

He really didn’t want to mistreat his little wife.

Shi Qingluo looked at him in astonishment. “So that’s how you are, Xiao Hanzheng. What happened to your visionary lens?”

Xiao hanzheng smiled and said, “Nothing is comparable to satisfy your wishes.”

To him, his little wife was more important than anything else.

A little corn was nothing.

Besides, his little wife was the one who started corn planting .

Shi Qingluo turned around and hugged Xiao Hanzheng. “Zhengzheng, you’re so good. I really can’t bear to leave you anymore.”

Xiao Hanzheng uttered under his breath, it seems that you still want to leave me.

He hugged his little wife tightly. “So, if you want to be by my side for the rest of your life, I’ll be even better.”

Shi Qingluo’s heart was as sweet as honey. “Okay, as long as you’re so good, I’ll always be by your side.”

She curled her lips and said, “Forget it. Let’s not keep it a secret anymore. It’s not good if the emperor finds out.

“And when we take it out to eat, we’ll always feel guilty. It’ll be unpleasant instead.

“Let’s eat freely the year after next.

Xiao Hanzheng knew that although his wife looked carefree, she had the softest heart.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Shi Qingluo let go of Xiao Hanzheng and asked, “Then shall we go and offer the seeds? Should we give Mo Qingling a heads up first?

“And should we let his people take a look and then calculate the yield of this corn?”

Otherwise, if they harvested it themselves, there wasn’t anyone to witness it with their own eyes and other people won’t be convinced by it.

Xiao Hanzheng had already thought about it. “We will let Mo Qingling know. I’m going to talk to my teacher about this and ask for his opinion.

“Then, let Mo Qingling, my teacher, Xi Rui, and the others witness the harvesting together.

“Their presence ensures that there aren’t any falsehoods.”

Shi Qingluo nodded.

Her young husband was the thoughtful one. “That’s right. Why don’t we let Mo Qingling bring the bailiffs to harvest the corn and then calculate the yield?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes.”

He added, “But you go and get the old immortal to show his spirit today to give you a hint.

“That’s how we find out that the corn is ripe and is ready to be eaten.”

It was better to make it look magical.

It would also give them a form of protection.

Moreover, everyone’s attention would mainly be on the old immortal and the corn.

They would not keep their eyes on them.

His eyes turned cold. “My scumbag father sent people to find assassins to come to Nanxi county. They are ready to take action at any time.

“My people captured one of them and went back to interrogate them secretly.

“They discovered that these people came to Nanxi county with only two goals.

“One was to find an opportunity to kill you, and the other was to break my master hand.”

In the future, he could eat with chopsticks, but he could forget about using a pen to write beautiful words.

He could not muster the strength to do so.

Shi Qingluo was speechless. “Your scumbag father is really vicious and merciless.

“He actually doesn’t want you to have a future ahead either to prevent you from taking revenge on him.

“No wonder he fell in love with that woman. They’re not good people.”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. “Then, are we just going to let it go like this?

“And when will they make a move?”

She would not be pleased knowing that they wanted to send people to kill her and cripple her little husband’s hand and destroy his future.

Xiao hanzheng replied, “Xi Rong is protected by the emperor’s secret guards. They will only act after they leave Nanxi county.”

His eyes turned cold again. “Of course, we can’t just let it go.

“Let them act when we’re on the way to offer the seeds.

“My scumbag father is very secretive, but there will be traces if he does it.

“The emperor’s people will naturally be able to find out.”

“When the time comes, we will let him bear the responsibility of intentionally assassinating those who offered the heaven-gifted seeds meant to be bestowed to the emperor.”

Shi Qingluo’s eyes lit up. “Then will the emperor directly demote him to a commoner or something?”

Xiao Hanzheng could not help but laugh. “It’s not that simple. The border is not that stable now, and the emperor still needs him.

“But he will also privately give him a warning, and his impression of him will get from bad to worse.

“Moreover, my intention of doing so is to force him to reveal his trump card in advance.”

If his scumbag father wanted to harm his little wife, he would have to be prepared to vomit blood.

Shi Qingluo asked curiously, “What trump card?”

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “He kept a treasure map of the previous dynasty when he conquered the land in the previous dynasty.

“In the future, he will use this treasure map to render meritorious service, and because of this, he will be conferred the title of a marquess.

“If he doesn’t want the assassination to affect his future career as an official, he has to erase the evidence for this.

“As long as we force him to take out the treasure map and present it to the emperor in advance, the emperor would take this matter lightly.

“He can forget about being conferred the title of a marquess.”

Shi Qingluo realised that Xiao Hanzheng’s scumbag father was indeed not an easy person to deal with, and he had left quite a number of cards up his sleeve.

However, it was clear that her husband was better than him.

Her smile turned into a flower. “He brought this upon himself. He might be so angry that he vomits blood.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled meaningfully. “In the future, there will be plenty of occasions when he wants to vomit blood.”

He would no longer cause harm to his scumbag father bit by bit like in his previous life.

This time, he would torture him slowly.

He would let his plans fall through one by one.

His scumbag father had already clearly come close to garnering more power, but he would end up a little farther away from it.

Falling from the clouds into hell, that’s all.

Only by taking revenge like this could it resolve the hatred in his heart.

It wasn’t just the hatred accumulated from his previous life, but also the fact that the scumbag father and his wife kept sending people to harm his little wife.

He could not tolerate this.

“Brother Zheng is awesome!” Shi Qingluo complimented him with a smile.

She lit a candle in her heart for his scumbag father.

After provoking her black-hearted husband, his scumbag father was just waiting for his turn to cry and vomit blood.
