The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 585: Ambition
Chapter 585: Ambition
Editor: Atlas Studios
Little Bear, who was having fun playing the treasure hunt in the palace, was naturally unwilling. Even if his father used going to the farmstead as a lure, Little Bear wasn’t interested.
This made Qi Haoran gnash his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to force him to stay in the residence, Mu Yangling stopped him.
At first, Mu Yangling did not quite understand why Qi Haoran insisted on making Little Bear go home. It was only when she happened to hear Spring lament that Fourth Master treated Fourth Madam too well that she understood Qi Haoran1 s intentions.
Qi Haoran had never told her about this before. Mu Yangling was so touched that she personally cooked a few of his favorite dishes for him.
Qi Haoran only ate a mouthful of braised pork before putting down his chopsticks. Sitting up straight, he looked at Mu Yangling and asked worriedly, “Ah Ling, what’s wrong?”
For Mu Yangling to cook personally, this was an unprecedented and rare event. This made Mu Yangling feel that she didn’t care enough about Qi Haoran. She said gently, “I’ve been feeling suffocated recently, as though there’s a huge rock on my body, so my temper wasn’t so good previously. Don’t be angry with me. I’m fine now. If I’m lacking in any areas in the future, just tell me. I’ll try mybest to adjust.”
Qi Haoran looked at her suspiciously. “Ah Ling, are you really not sick again? Mu Yangling quickly shook her head and promised, “I’ve really recovered. I’m in a good mood now. The gray sky has turned into a wide blue sky filled with white clouds.”
After double-checking, Qi Haoran believed her. He instantly put away his cautiousness and ordered arrogantly, “Pickup a piece of braised pork for me.” Mu Yangling quickly picked up a piece of meat for him and waited eagerly for his comments. Qi Haoran chewed and felt that her culinary skills had improved, but he still said with a pout, “It’s too inferior to Mother-in-law’s. It’s simply not appetizing.”
Mu Yangling’s expression froze momentarily. She looked at the dishes on the table, then at Qi Haoran, and endured it.
Qi Haoran picked up another piece of chicken. As he ate, he critiqued, “It’s been boiled for too long. It’s too tough and doesn’t taste good…”
“There’s too much flour and too little filling in this dish of lion’s head. I can tell that it’s not authentic the moment I eat it…”
Mu Yangling raised her foot, but in the end, she quietly put it down.
As there was a table blocking him, Qi Haoran didn’t see it. Hence, as he complained smugly, he swept all the dishes on the table into his stomach. Then, he leaned back in his chair and let Mu Yangling rub his stomach, having accidentally eaten too much.
As Mu Yangling helped him rub his stomach three times, she muttered softly, “Didn’t you say that it didn’t taste good? Didn’t you still finish all the food?” “It can’t be helped. After all, you’re the one who prepared those dishes” Overcome with an urge to sleep after eating, Qi Haoran said drowsily, “No matter how bad your cooking is, I have to finish it all up. Otherwise, who will eat them?”
Mu Yangling’s hand paused, and the anger in her heart dissipated. She leaned against him and said, “Haoran, thank you!”
Qi Haoran subconsciously nodded and fell asleep with his head tilted.
Mu Yangling got up and looked at him for a while. Then, she gently carried him to the bed and took off his clothes.
Spring, who had entered the room with hot water, was stunned. What had she just seen?
Fourth Madam carried Fourth Master in her arms, Fourth Madam carried
Fourth Master in her arms. Moreover, she did so ever so gently…
Even if she knew that Fourth Madam was strong, she could not show it like this. Spring put down the basin and decided to go out to wash her eyes.
Mu Yangling gave Qi Haoran a simple wipe before going to bed.
Qi Haoran was sound asleep at the side, but Mu Yangling could not fall asleep.
As Qi Haoran’s status increased, there would definitely be a lot of women throwing themselves at him. She could not rely on Qi Haoran to deal with this on her behalf every time. However, even if she killed one to warn a hundred others, she could not stop the fragrance emitted by Qi Haoran’s status.
If nothing unexpected happened, Qi Haoran would probably be the only King other than Qi Xiuyuan’s sons.
Qi Xiuyuan’s other sons had yet to be born, and his only son thus far was the Crown Prince, so everyone focused their attention on Qi Haoran.
Qi Haoran was loyal, but she couldn’t always stay under his protection.
Mu Yangling thought that she needed an identity and ability that was enough to intimidate everyone and stop them from having designs on Qi Haoran.
Mu Yangling understood that this would be a long struggle.
The next day, when Qi Haoran woke up, he was still a tad dazed, but Mu Yangling was already ready to go out.
“What are you going to do so early in the morning?” Qi Haoran widened his eyes and asked when he saw that she was dressed neatly and had woken up earlier than him.
One had to know that even if Mu Yangling wasn’t a slacker, she wasn’t considered an early-riser. She typically got up only after Qi Haoran finished his morning practice.
Actually, Mu Yangling felt that she was already early enough. She wasn’t a third-year high school student and wasn’t in the army. Who could wake up at 6:30 a.m.?
Only the ancients were more eccentric and insisted on waking up at four or five in the morning. Qi Haoran was one of such people.
Probably because he was completely relieved last night, Qi Haoran slept very soundly, causing him to wake up rather late today. However, no matter how late it was, it was only about 6:30 am and the skies had just dawned outside. He could not fathom what Ah Ling was going to do at this hour.
Mu Yangling replied with a smile, “I’m going to the farmstead for a walk today. I’ll come back in the afternoon to discuss something with Zijin, and I’ll meet the stewards in the afternoon. If you have something to do today, go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”
Mu Yangling had made up her mind to accomplish a great career. There were only two directions she could take. One, the military.
However, Qi Haoran was a military talent to begin with. With his talent, it was destined that he would be extraordinary. In the past few years, he had already learned everything he could from Mu Yangling. Other than his sense of direction and talent in the forest being inferior to Mu Yangling, he could completely defeat Mu Yangling in all aspects.
Therefore, Mu Yangling did not intend to stand out in this aspect.
Having such an outstanding husband also gave her a headache because her brilliance would be overshadowed. Hence, Mu Yangling planned to take another path. This was the life goal she had set from the beginning.
Development of agriculture.
Food is the first necessity of the people. When she made every farmer remember her name, she doubted there would still be people who dared to righteously say that she was not worthy of Qi Haoran.
She wanted everyone to say that Qi Haoran was not worthy of her!
No, she wanted them to say that they were a match made in heaven!
Mu Yangling was full of determination as she vowed that everything would start from today. Mu Yangling encouraged herself in her heart.
“Ah Ling, are you alright?” Qi Haoran asked cautiously when he saw the change in Mu Yangling’s expression. Perhaps Ah Ling had not recovered. Indeed, one had to take medicine when they were sick. He was still too naive.
Then, he blamed himself. Did he go overboard last night? He actually let the sick Ah Ling serve him dinner and say so many hurtful words.
Qi Haoran felt guilty, feeling that he had really let Ah Ling down. Ah Ling was indeed a rare good wife. She was actually not angry even when he complained about her when she was sick.
