My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 549 - 355: Phoenix's Backup Team_2

Li Nuo, feeling a bit embarrassed under her gaze, instinctively looked away and said, "Alright, I can't bear it either. After all, we haven't seen each other for so long, and the court has been busy with many affairs. I hope you can help me spend more time with Jiaren and Anning..."

Clearly, he was already a man with two wives, a battle-hardened veteran, yet when Phoenix looked at him like that, he felt like a rookie who had experienced nothing, unable even to meet her gaze.

Luckily, Phoenix did not continue to pressure him, merely gave Li Nuo a graceful smile and said, "You are a pillar of the court, focus on court affairs to benefit the people. Everything at home will be handled by me..."

Watching Phoenix's departing figure, Li Nuo felt deeply moved.

In cultivating oneself and taking care of one's family, he could achieve "taking care of the family" largely due to Phoenix's efforts.

Though she was neither kin nor blood, she had contributed so much to this family.

In Ningxin Garden.

Of course, the happiest to see Phoenix return was Yiren.

Though she no longer held the same hostility towards Song Jiaren and Li Anning as before, she still had no words to exchange with them. Even with Li Nuo at home, some things could only be shared between women.

Before teaching Ning'er martial arts, she had agreed with Phoenix to sleep together at night.

After chatting for a while with Jiaren and Anning, Phoenix left Ningxin Garden and returned to Jade Sound Pavilion.

The Jade Sound Pavilion had long replaced the Happy Building and Sky Sound Courtyard to become the top Music Workshop in Chang'an, where every musician was a virtuous beauty with exceptional skills, and their clients were all officials and wealthy families.

Almost every month, officials and nobles were willing to pay a high price to redeem them, with the top musicians fetching a redemption price as high as one hundred thousand taels.

In the room on the second floor, Phoenix was flipping through a thin booklet with the nightingale standing beside her, softly saying, "While you were away, several sisters successfully entered official residences, though the ranks weren't high, the highest being the sixth-rank Assistant Minister of War..."

Phoenix put down the booklet in her hand and said, "Even though the Assistant Minister of War is not of high rank, at wartime, their role is unmatched by many fifth and fourth-rank officials. Let her remain silent for now, to avoid suspicion..."

The old woman standing in the corner glanced at her and said, "Li Nuo has already returned to Chang'an. This time, he was significantly favored by the Prime Minister of Daxia. What is your plan? If you can become the mistress of Li Mansion, it would be more useful than us placing a hundred spies in the court..."

Phoenix sighed and said, "I understand, I understand..."

The old woman warned her, "You'd better hurry. According to reliable information, Wei Country will go to war with Daxia within a year. At that time, we must grasp all movements between these two countries in advance. Wei's intelligence network is already robust, and the losses caused by the Dual Kings' Rebellion must be remedied quickly. I am giving you only one month..."

Phoenix glanced at her and asked, "What if I don't complete the task within a month?"

Looking at the nightingale, the old woman said, "We all know your capabilities. You have been given sufficient time. If you can't fulfill the task within a month, I will take Jiang Zhi'er away. You know what her fate will be once she returns..."

Phoenix clenched her fist in anger and said, "He already has two wives and is about to have a third. I don't want to marry such a man!"

The old woman replied curtly, "Do you think you have a choice?"

She gave Phoenix one last look and said, "You have one last month."

The door of the room closed heavily.

After a long time, the nightingale bit her lip and said, "Go, ignore me..."

Phoenix stood up and lightly knocked on her forehead, saying, "Go, why should I go?"

Covering her forehead, the nightingale said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to marry him..."

Phoenix rolled her eyes at her and said, "If I don't say that, how will I gather more leverage in the future?"

The nightingale widened her eyes and asked, "Do you really want to marry him?"

Phoenix exhaled and said, "Having done so much for them, it's time to think about myself..."

...

Ningxin Garden.

After Phoenix returned, Li Nuo was much more at ease.

He had just delivered the revised medical manual to the Imperial Hospital. Once they proofread and signed it, it could be sent to the Ministry of Industry to be printed, and then sold uniformly at cost price since the book was not intended for profit.

Leaving the Imperial Hospital, he also went to Sinong Si.

For ordinary people, being able to eat well and dress warmly, and afford to see a doctor is already a blessing.

Among these, filling the stomach is more important than anything else.

Increasing grain production is the top priority in the coming days.

Although most of Daxia's land is controlled by famous family clans and landlord gentry, even if the grain yield is increased, they will benefit the most, but even the slightest spillover of benefits from their hands can save many commoners from starvation.

Sinong Si's task is to cultivate high-yield crops as much as possible, but not through the method of nurturing with Agricultural School True Qi.

However, True Qi is still useful during breeding.

The nurturing of True Qi can greatly reduce the time needed to cultivate quality varieties.

Li Yun's new topic is cooperating with Sinong Si to research new fertilizers, aiming to enhance the yield of various crops as much as possible.

Just as he returned home, Sinong Si sent a batch of fruits over.

These fruits were all meticulously cultivated using Agricultural School True Qi.

This time, Mumu and Ning'er could finally get their fill, and when they went back, Li Nuo also sent a box to the Song Family.
