Li Muyan was a little dazed. At first, he did not believe Xiaoxiao when she said that she wanted to do a “specialty” business with him.

The fur business had almost been divided up. He did not think that Xiaoxiao had the ability to snatch meat from those wolf-like merchants. Who would have thought that she did not like it at all? Instead, she took another path and created a novel thing that no one had ever seen?

Xiaoxiao told him, “Doctor Gongsun has already taken a look at this melon. It’s not poisonous or harmful. It’s durable and even quenches your thirst. Don’t be in a hurry to take the goods from me. I can’t sell them in large quantities for the time being. In the future, you can look for melon farmers to harvest melons. At that time, won’t you earn a lot if you sell them to the Imperial Capital? Do you still remember what you promised me? When the time comes, we’ll pay the price we agreed on. Don’t let these commoners suffer.”

Li Muyan cupped his hands. “Miss, don’t worry. Although my Li Family is only

a merchant, we still have our conscience.”

She chose Li Muyan to cooperate because although he was a businessman, he was not like those profiteers who only cared about profits. She believed that with the Li Family taking over the watermelon business in the future, the commoners at the border would definitely receive the remuneration they deserved. At that time, their lives would definitely be better.

“Then take your time. I’ll go check the other crops!” After saying this, Xiaoxiao skipped away. The commoners she met along the way bent down sincerely to thank her, their faces red from the wind full of smiles.

Their borders would definitely undergo a tremendous change! All of this was thanks to the kind, capable, and knowledgeable Miss Xiaoxiao in front of them!

“I hope that the heavens will bless Miss’s safety and success. Good karma will befall good people…”

After improving the land slightly, Xiaoxiao even successfully planted peanuts, potatoes, pumpkins, grapes, and dates in this experimental field that had a shed. Fat peanuts and potatoes were hiding in the soil and quietly thriving. Grape seedlings and date trees stretched their bodies in their respective territories, and small orange-yellow lanterns could already be seen on the pumpkin vines…

Although they had yet to see the final results, with the success of the watermelon case, the commoners were filled with anticipation for the other crops and their trust in Xiaoxiao increased day by day.

Even though the seeds used for the experiment were not all prospering, the commoners were still happy. With each additional crop, they had an additional possibility of settling down.

While calculating the harvest date, Xiaoxiao continued to complete her plan of stealing the beam and changing the pillar. It was not feasible to replace the space and land directly. Not to mention her current ability, she would probably be dizzy and overloaded before she could exchange an acre. Even if she could, the change in the land was too obvious. It was so obvious that even a self-righteous fool like the Crown Prince could see it. Wasn’t she looking for trouble for herself?

The scale of her farming here was not small. Since the Crown Prince had already regained his freedom from confinement, it was naturally impossible for him not to notice it. With his methods and status, it was not difficult for him to steal some fruits from these lands.

Unlike other crops that had yet to bear fruit, it was really difficult not to notice the huge watermelon. The Crown Prince immediately felt the value of this item.

Of course, he would not give credit to Xiaoxiao for successfully planting this thing. In his opinion, that girl was just lucky and obtained a precious seed from somewhere.

“Your Highness, someone saw that woman go there to try farming.” She was so secretive about farming that she even specially built a shed to cover it up so that no one could see it. What a person! He guessed that the village girl must be afraid that she would not be able to plant it and embarrass herself, so she was deliberately acting mysterious!

The Crown Prince tidied his clothes. “She’s not completely useless.

Initially, he thought that this woman had first caused him to be locked up for so many days. Then, she gave him the wrong ancient book and made him work for nothing for more than half a month. Once she recovered from her illness, he would definitely settle the score with her. Unexpectedly, she announced that the melons she planted had a great harvest just as she came out.

The Crown Prince didn’t think much of it at first, but when he saw the big watermelon with black and green stripes and the red melon flesh that was rich in juice after being cut open, he immediately changed his mind and wanted to take this thing for himself first-especially after hearing that the girl was preparing to cooperate with the Li Family.

It was no longer a novel thing for the Li Family and the Yan Family to fight for the position of the new royal warrant. He had been taught since he was young that all the good things in the world should be in his hands. The Yan Family s status and wealth could not be shaken. Of course, he would not let go of this item.

“Your Highness,” Shao Lin asked softly before they set off, “are we going to reason with her, or…”

The Crown Prince sneered. “Is that necessary?”

He was the Crown Prince, second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. That woman was just a village girl from the mountains. How could that village girl not obediently hand over what he asked for? Even if she really couldn’t figure it out and thought that she could rely on Third Brother’s power, hmph, then let her understand the price of disobeying him.

In order to show his nobility, the Crown Prince specially changed his clothes and tidied himself up until he looked radiant. Other than being too tanned at the border and unable to remedy it, he felt that he was dignified and luxurious. He would definitely make that village girl retreat.

When he arrived at the farmland, the Crown Prince angrily realized that he was actually stopped. Shao Lin naturally wouldn’t give up this opportunity to show his loyalty. He went forward and shouted, “Do you know who this is?”

The gatekeeper drew his sword. “No one can enter.”

Shao Lin was so frightened that he took a step back. Then, he felt that he had lost his momentum and wanted to find someone to make up for it. Hence, he shouted even louder, “This is His Highness the Crown Prince!”

The Crown Prince had already gotten into a posture to continue walking, but these stupid soldiers were still unmoved.

“We’ve already said that no one can do it.”

Shao Lin found it unbelievable. “You don’t even listen to the Crown Prince?”

The guard general said sternly, “This is the military camp. Military orders are absolute. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter. Those who violate the military law will be punished!”

The Crown Prince clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. What a military order! What a third brother!

In the past, he did not show his face. Now that he had power, he indeed revealed his true colors. He had just obtained a chance to control the military. Third Brother already did not care about him, the Crown Prince, at all. In the long run, would he have to take the supreme position in the future…

The Crown Prince’s expression was ugly. Thinking about the grievances he had suffered in the border city recently, and then thinking about how not only did the emperor not punish his third son after he wrote to his father, but he also ordered more troops to send food—wasn’t this obvious support?

He flicked his sleeves. “Let’s see who dares to stop me today!”

In order to achieve his goal, he brought his personal guards today. Their number was no less than the soldiers guarding the door. The atmosphere between the two sides was immediately tense. Just as they were about to fight, a voice sounded behind everyone.

“Crown Prince, you’re so impressive.”

Why did this voice sound so familiar? Before the Crown Prince could turn around, he saw the soldiers who were looking at him with disrespect and disdain suddenly widen their eyes. They knelt on one knee with excited expressions and looked pious and respectful. General!!

General? Deputy General Yu? However, Deputy General Yu was a man. The voice just now was clearly a woman…

Wait! Which other woman in the dynasty would be called a “general” and be respected so much?
