The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Better to Entrust to Qi Chan Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Better to Entrust to Qi Chan “Exactly,” Meng Yunzheng nodded, “it’s the army.”

Zhao Xi opened his mouth, beginning to understand.

The army, that was a boundary no Prince dared to touch, at least not openly.

Despite the Second Prince and the Third Prince fighting like fierce rivals, even they wouldn’t dare to brazenly reach into the military, only secretly gathering some military leaders under their influence.

As for the Fifth Prince, a latent Prince, it was naturally even more impossible.

So this heating pack, you could give it to anyone but the Fifth Prince.

Besides him, Mister Qi was the best choice.

Meng Yunzheng said, “It could also benefit Mister Qi, who is currently experimenting with Yao Tianqin’s agricultural tools. If there are no issues, he would report to the imperial court, which would be his first accomplishment since coming to the southwest. If, not long after, we send this heating pack, that would be his second accomplishment. By then, even if the Emperor was still angry with Mister Qi, other officials at the court would speak for Mister Qi, and he would mostly be able to return to the court.”

Qi Chan’s return would be greatly appreciated, both by Yao Tianqin and Shu Yu.

Especially regarding Shu Yu–she had helped Qi Chan more than once, and even brought Yao Tianqin directly to him.

Given Qi Chan’s current standing, he would only rise in the future. With a mighty figure like him as her support, what could Shu Yu have to worry about?

As for the Fifth Prince, perhaps this opportunity could even pull Qi Chan into his own camp.

Qi Chan belonged to the Royalist Party; he wasn’t part of any faction, but his presence in the court was very strong.

After listening, Zhao Xi clicked his tongue twice, “Then let’s give it to Qi Chan. Isn’t he in Heichang County right now? Should we send it now?”

Shu Yu, however, shook her head, “The time is not right yet.”

“How long must we wait?”

Shu Yu looked up at the sky outside the living room, “I heard from the old woman at the manor that it might cool down in a few days. I’ll go find Mister Qi then.”

Zhao Xi looked at her, then at Meng Yunzheng, and after a long pause shook his head, “Both of you have such deep calculations, truly a match made in heaven.”

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “If everyone were like you, we might not have survived till now.”

Considering the environment the two had lived through, Zhao Xi fell silent.

Indeed, both of their pasts had been quite rough, so their understanding of each other was natural.

Seeing that it was getting late and she needed to go to the manor, Shu Yu stopped their conversation.

She went outside to give instructions, emphasizing that the children mustn’t touch the heating pack to avoid getting burned.

Fortunately, the children were obedient and knew the pack was important to their sister and quickly nodded in agreement.

Only then did Shu Yu set off to the manor.

Because of the previous visit from Guard Cheng Xian, the other stewards were even more enthusiastic towards her.

Working here, aside from the absence of wages and limited freedom, was actually quite relaxed.

But thinking of Guard Cheng Xian reminded her of something she had forgotten.

Before, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi had gone to investigate Lord Cheng’s guards, and she had not had the chance to ask about the results. She didn’t even know which guard was the problematic one.

She was somewhat familiar with only one Guard Cheng Xian and hoped it wasn’t him who had the issue.

She mulled this over while waiting for the end of work to ask.

By evening, the hunting parties returned.

After the three groups turned in their game, Fang Xiyue came over carrying a rabbit and handed it directly to her.
