After Yin Yusheng's death, Jiang Muxia was really depressed for a long time. Mei Zhao and Liu Xuer brought their children to make her happy every now and then, and in the blink of an eye, it was spring and March.

The weather was getting warmer day by day. Weidong and Cao Junan were about to leave the capital and return to Suanzao County. Before leaving, Mei Zhao suggested taking them for a spring outing to a farm on the outskirts of the city.

The farm is not big, with only about four or five hundred acres of land, half of which is planted with winter wheat and the other half with fruit trees.

The manor was given to Weidong by Prince Yi in the early years as a reward for his successful return from his first voyage. Over the years, he handed the manor over to the village head, and most of the products were sent to the palace. The rest was divided into two parts, half to the village head and half to the villagers. The village head exchanged information for him, and over the years, he often passed on the news he had found out about the capital to him.

When the village head heard that they were going to spend the spring outing, he cleaned the guest rooms early and prepared food and drinks.

After a brief greeting between the master and servant, Wei Dong brought his men to Zhuangzi's peach forest.

It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the pink petals were scattered all over the ground, as if in a painting. Tang Zhongbai found a clean and flat place, spread a thick felt on the ground, and threw three or four soft and thick cushions on it, waiting for them to rest when they were tired from playing.

The heat of the spring afternoon hit, and everyone found a cool place. The men set up a stove to grill meat, and the women sat around on felt mats to drink tea and chat.

Jiang Muxia looked at the green wheat fields in the distance and was very pleased. She came from a farming family and the most precious thing for her was food. If the seedlings grew well, the harvest would not be bad. She thought to herself, Weidong found a good village head.

"Aunt, this is for you." The little kid held a small cream fruit in his palm. "Mammy made this for me early in the morning. It tastes good. Mom said that Aunt is pregnant with a little brother, so I gave it to Aunt. If Aunt eats it, it will be like the little brother is eating it."

The little person said sweet words that warmed her heart.

She took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, little bean."

He saw a butterfly flying up from a bush not far away, and he ran off to catch it. The maid was afraid that he would fall, so she chased after him.

"Our Mu Xia's temperament has changed a lot since she got pregnant. She used to be so impetuous, but look at her now, the kindness in her eyes is almost overflowing." Mei Zhao smiled and teased Liu Xuer.

As her body became heavier, she felt that she didn't get enough sleep. Not long after she sat down, she dozed off and looked drowsy.

Qingyun put a blanket on her and advised her softly, "Madam, why don't you lie down and rest for a while."

Liu Xuer worriedly advised, "Why don't you go back to your room and rest? You're really worrying. The pregnant women I've seen had no symptoms after the first three months. You've also been three months pregnant, so why are you getting weaker and weaker?"

She and Mei Zhao looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.

Jiang Muxia perked up, blinked hard, and waved at them, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Two months had passed, and she had long since gotten over Yin Yusheng's death. She had figured it out, and there were so many people around her who loved her, and she couldn't let Tang Zhongbai down for his sincerity.

Between the relationship between brother and sister and the relationship between her and Tang Zhongbai as husband and wife, she would still choose the latter without hesitation.

She turned her head to look at Tang Zhongbai, who was sweating profusely and had several black marks on his cheeks. He was grilling her favorite chicken wings, and the corners of her lips could not help but rise.

She forced herself to eat lunch, and everyone prepared to go back to the guest room to rest before setting off for the return trip.

Walking along the ridge, I found that the wheat fields to the north of Zhuangzi were sparse, with uneven wheat seedlings of different heights and quite sloppy.

Jiang Muxia frowned, thinking that the owner of this land was too careless.

She pointed to Tang Zhongbai and said, "Look at the land over there. If it were our own land, I would find the person responsible and scold him."

Mei Zhao smiled, "Sister, that's the land of the neighboring Maoye Village. I heard from the village head that the owner of Maoye Village didn't want it anymore. The village head is also a lunatic, so he almost abandoned the land."

Maoye Village?

Jiang Muxia's eyes lit up and all the sleepiness disappeared.

She was very familiar with this manor. In her previous life, Liu Qinghe often brought them to this manor for a short stay.

Her adopted daughter Xiaohong was also adopted by her in this farm.

She knew that there was hot spring water under the manor, and Liu Qinghe took over the manor based on this fact.

Since the owner of the manor doesn't want it anymore, why doesn't she buy it?

"Brother Wei, do you know the owner of Maoye Manor?"

"What? You want to buy it?" Wei Dong saw through her plan at a glance, but he did not suggest buying it.

The head and farmers of Maoye Village were used to being lazy. As long as they had something to eat, they didn't care about it. She didn't live in the capital for long, and when she left, these people became even more unscrupulous.

She was different from himself. He never cared about the harvest of this farm. It was just a place where he occasionally went to relieve his boredom when he came to the capital.

But she is different. Didn’t she buy the farm just to grow good crops, get a good harvest and make money?

Maoye Manor has no benefit at all except making her lose money.

"Don't worry, Brother Wei. I have my own way."

She would hand over the farm to Tang Lu before leaving the capital. The farmers and the head of the farm had signed a contract. If they really wanted to cause trouble, Tang Lu could deal with them with just one finger.

She had another idea, the same as in her previous life, to dig out the hot spring water, build some houses, and turn the village into a place for the nobles and nobles to play.

Weidong looked at her confident look and agreed to ask for her.

After returning to the city, she asked Tang Zhongbai to drive the car to the north of the city.

They would stay in Beijing until the end of the month at most. Before leaving, she wanted to take Liu Qinghe's family of four with her, so she came to ask for their opinions.

After listening to her suggestion, Liu Qingyuan said nothing and turned his gaze to his sister.

Liu Qinghe hesitated. She knew that since Jiang Muxia had spoken, she would definitely not treat her unfairly.

She had never left the capital since she was a child. Suanzao County was a completely unfamiliar place for her, and adapting to it was a problem.

"Mom, Grandma Qi is right. Instead of enduring the neighbors' contempt and pointing fingers here, we might as well change the environment and start over. Is there anything we can't lose?" Seeing her mother hesitate, Tang Yishu spoke.

Since moving into Yingchunfang, the neighbors had spread the rumor that Liu Qinghe had killed her husband and old lady, and was kicked out of her home, calling her a disaster star. Some brave women took advantage of her uncle's absence and ran to her door to tell them to get out, so as not to bring bad luck to the whole alley.

My mother cried every day during those days, and even the embroidery works they made when they sent them to the shop were bargained down by the customers.

My mother was afraid that my uncle would find out and get into an argument with those people, so she covered their mouths and stopped them from speaking.

She was angry at these people for not giving her and her two daughters a way to survive. She was annoyed at her mother's weak character and for retreating into the house when things got tough. She hated herself for being too young to help at all.

Now that Jiang Muxia has offered them such a good opportunity to escape from their predicament, why wouldn't they agree?
