Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Yu Qiutao moaned and fell into his arms, her fingers restlessly stroking his chest.

"Master, I made your favorite dish. Would you mind coming over to my place and trying it?"

Yu Shicheng was halfway through his meal when he began to feel hot and uncomfortable.

Just at this moment, Yu Qiutao changed into a light gauze dress and came out of the inner room, which made Yu Shicheng's blood boil. He was extremely excited and his mind went blank. He didn't care that Yu Qiutao was still pregnant, and he lost his mind and pressed her on the low couch.

Fan Yuejia waited for Yu Shicheng for a long time but he didn't come back. After hearing the report from the maid, she was so angry that she overturned the table, and the food and dishes fell to the ground.

"Splash! You're still restless even though you're pregnant."

I put my hand on my belly and wondered why I hadn’t gotten pregnant in such a long time.

Mother came to ask her again today, the Fan family urgently needs a child from the Yu family to consolidate the eldest brother's position as the head of the family.

The moon is bright in the sky, and stars are twinkling sparsely in the horizon, emitting a soft glow.

Yu Xunmei suddenly opened her eyes wide, stood up, opened the curtain, walked to the outer room, looked at the maid sleeping on the floor, and covered her nose with the handkerchief in her hand.

After a while, the maid fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Xunmei put away the handkerchief and kicked the maid, but she didn't react at all.

With a sneer on her lips, she stepped over the maid, pushed the door open and walked out, closing it behind her.

Following the dim corridor, Yu Xunmei came like a ghost to a deserted courtyard in the corner of the backyard. Behind the courtyard was a rockery covered with weeds.

As soon as she stopped outside the rockery, she was pulled into the rockery by a pair of strong hands.

Immediately afterwards, some indescribable sounds came from deep in the rockery.

After a long while, Yu Xunmei panted and said, "Brother Asheng, how come you still remember this place?"

"Hehe, I like it here." Ah Sheng kneaded her chest restlessly with his big hand, looking unsatisfied, and continued, "Then Lin Chaohui owes the gambling house three hundred taels, do you still want to keep an eye on him?"

Yu Xunmei snorted coldly, "You don't have to watch it yourself, just let your men watch it. By the way, where are the things I asked you to buy? You didn't forget them, did you?"

"Don't worry, I won't forget what you told me." Ah Sheng patted a bundle beside him.

There was a candle lit inside the rockery. In the dim candlelight, Yu Xunmei turned her head and saw the bag filled with things.

Thinking about what she had to do tomorrow, she slapped away Ah Sheng's restless hand and bent down to reach the clothes scattered around.

Ah Sheng was like a hungry wolf, his eyes fixed on the bright white flickering in the candlelight.

The man's hot breath covered them, and they both sighed with satisfaction at the same time.

The heavy, rapid breathing sounds are interwoven with the chirping of cicadas and frogs, competing with each other in this quiet summer night, with clear sounds rising one after another.

The next morning, Yu Xunmei got up dragging her tired body.

He glanced at the maid who was still sleeping on the ground and kicked her.

The maid woke up slowly, opened her eyes and saw the eldest lady staring at her coldly like a poisonous snake, she jumped up in shock.

"My lady, please forgive me! I got up late." She lay on the ground and shivered, secretly hating herself for not being able to get up after going to bed every day.

His gaze lingered on her for a while before Yu Xunmei said calmly, "I need to wash up."

"Yes, slave, go and prepare now."

The maid didn't even have time to tidy herself up and crawled out of the door.

After washing up and having breakfast, Yu Xunmei went to the kitchen.

When the cooks saw her coming, they stopped what they were doing and bowed to her.

Yu Xunmei walked around the kitchen and asked, "What is my father going to eat for lunch?"

"Eat these." The cook said timidly, pointing at the dishes prepared on the chopping board.

Yu Xunmei glanced at them and said to the cook, "My father has worked so hard. I want to make him some soup. Please help me prepare these ingredients."

The kitchen quickly prepared the ingredients she wanted, along with a small pot and stove.

Under the big tree outside the kitchen, Yu Xunmei was sweating profusely, but she was still fanning herself with a fan in her hand.

"Dad, drink the soup. Your daughter made it for you personally."

After the soup was ready, Yu Xunmei personally brought it to the study of the Yu family master.

Patriarch Yu knew that she must be asking for something by being so attentive, so he glanced at her and said calmly, "Leave it there, and drink it after your father is done with his work."

Seeing that he had no intention of paying attention to her, Yu Xunmei did not try to please him and turned around and left the study.

After she left, Master Yu called the housekeeper over and pointed at the soup on the table and asked, "Is it really made by the young lady?"

The housekeeper said, "Yes, sir, the cook said that the young lady stayed in the kitchen early in the morning to make soup for you. Don't be angry, sir, or you will get upset."

"open to take a look."

The housekeeper opened it and smelled a fragrant aroma. "It seems that the young lady has realized her mistake this time. This is a soup that replenishes qi and blood with plenty of ingredients."

"bring here."

Patriarch Yu took the bowl, raised his head and drank it in big gulps, "Yeah, you really put your heart into it."

When Yu Xunmei returned to the courtyard, she saw the maid running towards her in a hurry.

"Has Aunt Tao woken up? Has she called the doctor?"

The maid shook her head and panted, "My lady, Aunt Tao hasn't gotten up yet, but I heard from the maids in the courtyard that Aunt Tao and the young master quarreled until very late last night, and they haven't called a doctor yet."

"He's really lucky. After all this trouble, his stomach is still fine." Yu Xunmei murmured.

The maid didn't dare to stand too close, so she didn't hear clearly what she said and thought she was giving some instructions.

"Miss, what do you need?"

"Get out! I want to sleep, don't call me if there's nothing wrong."

Yu Xunmei looked at her with sinister eyes, and the maid was so scared that she tiptoed out and closed the door.

Nanman Prefecture.

Dragon Pond.

A spacious carriage appeared in the distance on the official road outside Longtan.

"Master, we've arrived at Longtan." Butler Chen and the coachman sat on the carriage and reported to Chen Xianming who was inside.

Chen Xianming in the carriage jumped up and lifted the curtain to look outside.

When he saw the towering city wall in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh, "A woman can lead a small group of people to build Longtan brick by brick. This City Lord Lin is not simple."

Steward Chen pointed at the rice stalks on both sides of the road that were bent and beginning to turn yellow and exclaimed, "Master, look at the rice."

Chen Xianming looked in the direction that Butler Chen pointed, and he saw the difference at a glance.

"Stop the car! Stop the car now."

With the help of Chen Gu, Chen Xianming came to the edge of the rice field.

He picked up a stalk of rice and carefully pinched each grain. He was completely shocked to find that less than 10% of the grains were empty.

Why is Longtan rice so productive?

He didn't give up and picked a few more plants and found that they were all the same.

Looking at the vast rice fields swaying in the wind, Chen Xianming's eyes turned and an idea came to his mind.

"Let's go into the city."

Sitting in the conference room, Chen Xianming's three views were overturned. He learned from his son that the person in charge of Longtan was a woman. He originally thought that the person who could sit on the position of city lord must be big and strong with great skills.

Who would have thought that the city lord sitting at the top position was actually a 28-year-old woman with a pretty face, fair and delicate skin, and heroic eyes and brows.

There was a sense of alienation in her sharp and deep eyes; her gaze was as fast as lightning, as if she could see through people at a glance.
