Chapter 78 A Long Sigh
Shangguan Chengfeng dared not disobey Xiao Fan's wishes and finally went to Shandong to take up his post, but left Cao Shi in the capital and only took away his most beloved concubine.
Upon learning this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh with regret.
In fact, his main purpose in sending Shangguan Chengfeng to an outside post was to have him take Cao Shi with him and keep Shangguan Zhihua away from Cao Shi, so that his beautiful concubine wouldn't be corrupted by the rude and foolish Cao Shi.
He instructed the gatekeeper: "No one from the government office shall be allowed to enter, nor shall anyone be allowed to pass on any messages. Anyone who disobeys this order shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and then sold to the Northwest to do hard labor!"
This statement was widely publicized, and everyone in the mansion knew about it.
When Shangguan Zhihua found out, she was so angry she almost vomited blood.
Fine! Xiao Fan, you heartless bastard! I'm pregnant with your child, and you still treat me like this! You have no conscience at all, your conscience is utterly wicked!
Amidst her grief and anger, she suddenly realized that Qian Shi wasn't even pregnant yet! Even if Qian Shi gave birth to children, they were destined to be freaks; how could they compare to her own children? Now, Xiao Fan only had her and Qian Shi as his two women; the one who would have the last laugh would definitely be her!
One day, the position of Crown Prince's Consort will be hers! The position of Princess Consort will also be hers! The entire Prince's Mansion will be under her complete control! At that time, she can let whoever she wants in!
Forget it, I'm not angry anymore! Actually, Cao is quite the troublemaker. If this person didn't still have some use to her, she would have ignored him long ago! He's more trouble than he's worth!
Even if she weren't her mother in the true sense, or even if she were her biological mother, she wouldn't bother with her because she was so foolish and useless.
In this world, she'll fight anyone who stands in her way to climb the ladder! No matter who it is, she won't show any mercy!
Back home, Ms. Qian sat blankly in her bedroom, a sudden chill running down her spine. She looked around in alarm, muttering to herself, "Who's cursing me? That damned thing!"
The weather was exceptionally hot and humid that day; for three months straight, not a single drop of rain had fallen. Strolling through the Imperial Garden, the oppressive heat was overwhelming.
The emperor couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease: Perhaps a severe drought was about to strike?
The Imperial Astronomical Bureau predicts that there will be a severe drought this year!
Fortunately, sweet potatoes and potatoes were promoted in Yulin County and are now being planted extensively throughout the area within a hundred miles of the capital. This has brought some relief. If a drought had struck and the people had become destitute, and if disaster victims had flooded into the capital, that would have been disastrous!
Fortunately, cold-resistant crops have been widely promoted in the vicinity of the capital, so if a drought does occur, it can alleviate the crisis in the capital!
Shangguan Zisu, I hope you will not disappoint me! If the sweet potatoes and potatoes really have a high yield this year, and if there really is a severe drought, I will bestow upon you the title of county princess and grant you five hundred acres of fertile land!
Zisu said to the old clan chief, "Sixth Grandfather, the weather is getting worse and worse. I suggest that everyone buy more grain and keep it at home in case of emergency! Tell the villagers not to sell their grain and to keep it for their own consumption! Also, find someone to dig two more deep wells in the village. There is only one well in the village, how can it be enough?"
The elder clan leader was shocked: "So, the drought you predicted is coming?"
