“He deserved it.

“It’s understandable that they fight each other since they were born in the royal family. It’s also understandable that they eradicated the Gu family back then.

“After all, Pingyang stood on the wrong side.

“But he shouldn’t have forced people to take sides. Also, it’s wrong to kill them and find someone to replace them if they disagree.

“This time, it got even more outrageous. He used the lives of civilians as a bargaining chip, and I don’t think it could be justified.”

“Kings fight, and the peasants suffer.” Zhou Ying shook her head.

Next, the two planted the watermelon seedlings together and stopped when it was almost noon.

The two of them called Xiaxiang and Shizhu back.

“Hello, Lord Gu, Madam Gu.” At this moment, a young man in his twenties ran over and greeted them with a smile.

Gu Chengrui saw this and introduced him. “This is Xiao Zheng, who was sent by King Kang to learn greenhouse technology. He even helped us with a lot of farm work.”

“Is that so? It must be really hard on you.”

“You’re too polite, Madam. In any case, it’s learning to do more.” When Xiao Zheng said this, he looked at Zhou Ying with admiration and added, “It’s just that I didn’t expect Madam Gu to be able to do farm work. I’m amazed.”

“Didn’t we stay in the countryside for more than three years? Otherwise, how could we cultivate those sweet potatoes?”

“That’s right. I’m really stupid for not thinking of this.”

“That’s normal. No one can cover everything.

“By the way, what did you do before you came here?”

“I used to grow vegetables in my manor. When I heard that King Kang was looking for someone to learn about building a new greenhouse, my father recommended me.”

“Your father must be King Kang’s trusted aide.”

“Oh, no. He’s just the head of the Hot Spring Manor.”

“That’s also pretty good. Oh right, how many people are there in your family?”

“How old are you?”

Zhou Ying kept asking questions as they walked, not giving him a chance to ask anything.

At the same time, she obtained a lot of information about him. Of course, he did not dare say anything more than he could.

When they reached the manor, Xiao Zheng turned around and returned to the house where he was staying.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying and the others returned to their courtyard.

Mrs. Wu was picking vegetables and stood up and bowed to them before turning to Shizu. “Shizhu, there’s hot water on the stove. Use as you like.”

“Got it. After I’m done, I’ll help you cook.” Shizhu then turned around and went to the kitchen.

Xiaxiang followed her in as well.

Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui sat in the courtyard under the tree’s shade.

The weather wasn’t particularly hot yet, so they cooled down quickly when they reached the shade.

Soon, Shizhu and Xiaxiang finished washing their hands, bringing out a warm water basin. After the couple washed up, they entered their house.

After entering the bedroom, Gu Chengrui sat on the chair and said, “Babe, take out a few strawberries. My throat is as dry as the desert.”

“Watch the door.” Zhou Ying reminded him and flashed into her interspace. She picked some big strawberries, washed them, and put them on the table.

Gu Chengrui took one and put it in her mouth. “The sun is even hotter in the afternoon, so don’t go into the fields. Why don’t you cook a few dishes later and let Chen He and the others come over for a gathering?”

“Hm? They haven’t returned yet?”

“No, Chen He has taken a liking to farming after staying so long.

“Some time ago, I suggested that deep plowing and retting manure could increase harvesting production, and he followed suit.”

“It looks like he’s a reliable person. You should guide him well, as it’ll make a great contribution if he can also excel in agricultural research..”
