The space replied: [Just keep it in the ranch for a period of time.] Thinking of Walnut and Scarf, Xiaoxiao reached out to the foal.

The mare had been whipped many times when she tried to prevent the ranchers from taking the foal away. She was also weak now, but she immediately became vigilant when she saw Xiaoxiao’s actions.

Xiaoxiao touched its head gently and took out a carrot from her space. “I don’t have any ill intentions. Let me help you, okay?”

The mare stared into Xiaoxiao’s eyes and opened her mouth to bite the fragrant

food.

When Xiaoxiao placed her hand on the foal, it disappeared in the blink of an eye The mare stopped chewing and stood up to pace back and forth. Xiaoxiao took out another handful of grass and placed it in its feed basin. “Don’t worry, it’s very good.”

The young masters’ competitions and the young ladies’ play were very happy. When they heard that Xiaoxiao had taken a fancy to the mare and its child, they persuaded her a few times, but when they saw that she was determined, they stopped persuading her and only instructed the racecourse to do it.

This mare was of average quality and was old. The ranch could not wait to get rid of her. As for the foal, there was nothing special about it for the time being. Since the young masters of the Shen and Gu families had spoken, they would

sell it to them.

When it was time to pay the money, Little Miss Gu wanted to rush to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao reached out and took out a stack of banknotes

worth too taels.

The group of young men and women, who originally thought that they were very rich, widened their eyes and asked quickly, “Is this the reward from His Majesty?”

Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Those are for Father, Mother, and Brothers. This is

my own money.”

Little Miss Gu looked down at her silver ingots and then at Xiaoxiao’s banknotes. “Your money?”

Xiaoxiao nodded and paid the bill. She replied, “Yes, I earned it by opening shops.”

The boys and girls had heard from County Magistrate Shen that Xiaoxiao opened her own shop. They thought that it was just a small stall, but they didn’t expect it to be so profitable.

Hearing her briefly tell the story of the milk tea shops and the green prawns and barbecue skewers, the young nobles, who could only take monthly silver from their families, actually felt envious.

The people from the ranch quickly brought the mare and the foal out. Xiaoxiao brought the horse and followed the young men and women back to the Gu

Residence.

On the way back, Yun San and the guards, who were disguised as grooms, were furious when they heard that Miss Ning was in danger. They turned around and exchanged glances.

On the surface, Xiaoxiao was just a farmer’s daughter. It would arouse suspicion if she had powerful guards with her. Besides, her relationship with Rong Yan could not be exposed for the time being, so County Magistrate Shen asked Yun San and the others to pretend to be servants, but they could not show their faces.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

It was inconvenient for them to follow her in the ranch just now, but they thought that nothing would happen with so many people. Who knew…

On the way back, Xiaoxiao thought about how that pockmarked young master’s servant did not even dare to say anything harsh, and she understood the Shen

Family’s status even more.

Lord Shen really hid his strength well.

Lord Shen, who came from a prestigious family and had grown up with luxuries, had mixed feelings. Although he had seriously studied the livelihood of the people, he was only an armchair strategist when it came to farming.

He was completely clueless about the specific process of raising the seedlings, the actual operation of the paddy field, and the particularities of planting seedlings. After enduring His Majesty’s gaze of looking at a fool for a few days, he came back with a red face and said to Xiaoxiao, “His Majesty wants you to enter the palace again tomorrow.”

Xiaoxiao didn’t care. She even asked County Magistrate Shen, “Are you going?” County Magistrate Shen nodded heavily. Xiaoxiao asked again, “Do you want to bring some snacks to fill your stomach?”

God knew how much he regretted not eating pea flour cake when he brought Little Girl Ning into the palace.

County Magistrate Shen nodded quickly. He felt that Little Girl Ning was right about one thing. Food was the most important thing for the people, and he was also a person. He would not be able to take it if he did not eat.

Especially since His Majesty was in a high mood and was especially enthusiastic about farming. He did not even ask the palace servants and guards for help!

County Magistrate Shen felt that it was too difficult for him. He had to treat himself better. “Make cookies. They are easy to bring along.

The oil paper bag was stuffed into his sleeve. He could take it out easily if he wanted to eat it.

The foal recovered very well in the space. It stood up that night and ran and jumped. Xiaoxiao did not plan to turn it into an ingredient and did not want it to grow too quickly and arouse suspicion, so she did not raise it at double the speed.

“You brothers will be called Lightning and Wind. Your brother’s name is Wind. You’re Lightning. Do you understand?”

The grass in the space was fresh and tender, but Lightning and Wind were foals that had yet to wean, so they still needed their mother’s company.

Xiaoxiao was not as heartless as the people in the racecourse. In order not to let the foals be attached to their mother, they split them up early and did not let them drink Windslasher’s milk. Windslasher was this mare’s name. Wind and Lightning were a pair of twins who looked almost identical, so she could exchange for the brothers at any time. She could let one of them drink milk beside its mother and the other play in the space. She could exchange them at any time when no one was paying attention.

The officials of Great Xia had to get up before dawn to go to court. Premier Shen could not stand to get up early himself while his son was comfortable, so he insisted that the entire family eat breakfast together.

In the past, the children had to get up to do their homework, but because Xiaoxiao was here, Premier Shen said that the children had to grow, so he let everyone sleep in.

Hence, Xiaoxiao gained a lot of attention again. The juniors called her “Big Sister” non-stop. They were even closer to her than their own biological sisters. It was rare that those biological sisters were not jealous and also called her “Little Sister”, causing Xiaoxiao to reconsider the word “lively” again. Yesterday, the children exaggerated how Xiaoxiao was in danger, how she escaped death, how domineering and vicious that Wei guy was, and even listed the crimes of the Wei Family looking down on the Emperor by daring to do evil to the person who was rewarded by the Emperor.

Premier Shen only said yesterday that the Wei Family had already come to apologize. They said that the child was in a hurry to look after the horses and did not pay attention, let alone know Xiaoxiao’s identity. However, Premier Shen snorted at breakfast today. “The Wei Family has been quite close to the Yan Family recently, right?”

They didn’t know Xiaoxiao. He just knew that the Yan Family was dissatisfied with the new rice seed and didn’t dare to cause trouble for the Shen Family directly. They wanted to make an example out of them to please the Yan Family.

The Wei Family’s idiots didn’t even think about who was the example.

Third Master Shen, who had just advanced to the third rank, asked, “Father, what should we say to the morning court assembly today?”

Premier Shen looked at the others. Second Master Shen raised his hand. “The Yan Family’s matter can’t be made public, and the new rice seed is even more so. His Majesty didn’t mention that Yan Lu wanted to take the new rice seed for himself. Clearly, he wants to leave a cover for the Yan Family.

Premier Shen nodded, and Eldest Master Shen also expressed his opinion. “Then let’s say that the Wei Family is targeting our family, but they don’t dare to offend our family and the Gu Family directly, so they deliberately vent their anger on a little girl!”

Everyone in the Shen Family agreed unanimously. They rubbed their fists and prepared to participate in the morning court quarrel. As the youngest, County Magistrate Shen yawned and felt that his parents were really good at giving birth. Moreover, his three older brothers looked like their father. Fortunately, he looked like his mother and was much better-looking than his brothers.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, County Magistrate Shen thought regretfully that he didn’t have a younger sister or a younger brother… Forget it, forget about a younger brother..
