Chapter 502: Chapter 502 Hatred (3)_1

As he thought this, Xiao Xiong’s remaining sliver of rationality vanished without a trace in an instant.

Lady Wei quietly lifted her eyes to watch Xiao Xiong’s brooding face, a flash of triumph darting through her own. She struck while the iron was hot, stirring the pot further, "Lord Hou, do you know that Qing’er’s dealings with King Heng, aren’t for herself, but for you, for our entire Hou Mansion! You’re aware that the Crown Prince... his constitution is frail, and should there be any mishap..."

At this point, Lady Wei abruptly stopped, hastily covering her mouth as if realizing she had said something taboo, her eyes widening in feigned horror.

Xiao Xiong understood all too well the implied meaning behind her unfinished words, which sent shudders through his mind.

Yes, the Crown Prince’s health has long been in tatters, and with the capable King Heng at The Emperor’s side, how could he ever hope to claim that position? Now, that unfilial son had become a thorn in the side of those princes, eager to dispose of him at the first chance, and if the Crown Prince falls, the entire Hou Mansion would suffer alongside that unfilial son!

This won’t do; he must find a solution. He absolutely cannot allow that unfilial son to implicate the Hou Mansion, to destroy the foundation that took centuries to build!

"Rourou, you’re right, Qing’er siding with King Heng is for the good of our Hou Mansion, not a mistake at all. The real mistake is that unfilial son who wants to doom our whole family! Rest assured, even if Qing’er is sent away this time, I will find a way to bring him back. From now on, the Hou Mansion will definitely be in Qing’er’s hands!"

With this thought, Xiao Xiong held Lady Wei tightly, comforting her while cursing Xiao Ruiyuan bitterly.

"Lord Hou—your concubine knows, your concubine has always known Lord Hou is the most capable, the one who loves Qing’er and your concubine the most!" Hearing these words, Lady Wei flattered him meekly, clinging tightly to Xiao Xiong like a climbing vine.

The woman’s words and behavior were gratifying to Xiao Xiong, and ultimately, under Lady Wei’s subtle insinuations, he actually came up with a "brilliant" idea.

...

Mo Yan, far away in Liu Yang Village, naturally had no idea what was happening in the Lord Wei Yuan House. At the moment, she was digging a hole in the Space, preparing to bury the Ginseng that Xiao Ruiyuan had sent back at the edge of the Spiritual Spring for it to continue growing.

Learning that this Ginseng was already nine hundred and fifty years old, although a bit disappointed it wasn’t Thousand-year Ginseng and unable to immediately concoct a remedy to detoxify the Crown Prince, she was still excited. She carefully placed the Ginseng in the hole, buried it, watered it, and repeated the process with another older Ginseng before she felt at ease.

With the "time accelerator" that was the Space, these two Ginseng plants would need only three to four months to mature into Thousand-year Ginseng. With the nourishment from the Spiritual Energy, their medicinal potency was certain to surpass that of Thousand-year Ginseng grown in the wild.

After she left the Space, Mo Yan took the three beasts to the orchard.

Having been well-fed for over half a month, the five mongrel dogs, which had grown quite a bit, saw Mo Yan and wagged their tails happily as they rushed over. Unafraid of Mao Tuan’s gaze filled with veiled threat, they affectionately rubbed against her trousers, emitting contented murmurings, obviously very pleased.

The puppies had been fed diluted Spirit Spring Water. Although they didn’t develop Spiritual Wisdom, they were much more alert than the average pups. Given their naturally keen sense of smell and Mo Yan’s rich aura of Spiritual Energy, they felt a deep and instinctual closeness to her.

Mo Yan squatted down, her face beaming with a smile as she caressed their plump bodies. She took out tea eggs from the Space and fed each of them, played with them for a while, and then began to check on the growth of the fruits, secretly watering the trees with Spirit Spring Water.

Now, each fruit tree retained two to four fruits, and provided no severe pests or diseases struck, these fruits would grow and ripen successfully. Though not numerous, the aggregate of fruits from the whole orchard was significant. Plus, what Great Chu lacked most were these rare fruits, and once Yan Junyu sells them for a high price, even if she received only half of the profits, it would amount to quite a sum of Silver.

The chickens raised in the orchard were also thriving; not only did they feed well, but they laid eggs frequently. The weeds and insects in the orchard became their food, requiring only some rice bran and vegetable leaves each morning and evening, hardly costing any Silver.

As for the medicinal field on the other mountain, Mo Yan had to spend several Moments there due to not yet finding a suitable person to tend to it. Fortunately, the herbs were grown from seeds produced in the Space, so other than watering, weeding, and preventing pests, there was no need to worry about diseases.

When she had finished watering the fields with diluted Spirit Spring Water and returned home, it was already evening.

Not long after dinner, Mo Wu came all alone in the dark. She looked pale, her eyes swollen and red, clearly having cried bitterly.

Mo Wu held Mo Yan’s hands tightly, tears streaming down before she even spoke, "Yan girl, I want to divorce Mo Yongfu!"
