In front of Wei Mingting, Wei Ruo carefully concealed her negative emotions, but when facing Wei Jinyi, she did not hesitate to show her unhappiness. Saying that, Wei Ruo turned her head and walked towards Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jinyi looked at Wei Ruo, her face was slightly downcast, something tugged at his heart uncomfortably.

Observing Wei Ruo, Wei Jinyi was unsure how to comfort her.

“Let’s talk in the pavilion.”

Wei Ruo followed Wei Jinyi into the pavilion. Wei Jinyi instructed Xiaobei to prepare a cup of honey grapefruit tea for her.

“Ruoruo…” Wei Jinyi opened his mouth, but he was tongue-tied, unsure how to console her.

“Why are you so nervous, Second Brother?” Wei Ruo asked, and seeing his expression, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Indeed, I am worried about you.

These words were muted in Wei Jinyi’s heart.

“I don’t know how to console others. Could you tell me, what can I do to cheer you up?” Wei Jinyi asked earnestly.

“Just converse with me, that’s all. Although I am a bit upset, it’s not that serious,” Wei Ruo responded.

Wei Jinyi furrowed his brows, attentively examining Wei Ruo’s expression, as if trying to ascertain whether her claim was true.

Wei Ruo rested her chin on her hand, and murmured, “I initially set out to improve the barren land in the southern city not for the sake of achievements or accolades, I just happened to encounter the seventh prince along the way, which blew the situation out of proportion. Therefore, I am not particularly concerned about being rewarded and honored, and it doesn’t distress me too much.”

“But I still feel bad because I hate when others take advantage of me, using my accomplishments as merit and setting me aside,”

Wei Jinyi was still unsure what to say, resorting to being a silent listener instead.

Wei Ruo continued to grumble, “I have reason to suspect that Chu Lan deliberately concealed information, hoping to gain more credit, so as to highlight his importance as the seventh prince. I am aware, the princes are currently vying for power intensely, who wouldn’t seize the opportunity to earn merits?”

“I hated that bastard from the beginning. Last time, he fulfilled his promise to reward me with one hundred taels of gold, which made me think he had a conscience and reduced my displeasure with him to nine out of ten, but now it’s back to a ten.”

The idea of Chu Lan becoming Emperor upset Wei Ruo tremendously. She wished the heavens would send someone to snatch his position, leaving him crying.

However, Wei Ruo knew this was unlikely. According to the original storyline, Chu Lan would become the Crown Prince and eventually ascend the throne as Emperor.

Even though Wei Qingwan’s subplot had changed, it was highly unlikely to affect Chu Lan’s storyline.

Because the original storyline was primarily about the female protagonist and her struggles in the harem, and didn’t delve too much into the male protagonist’s political scheming.

In the original story, Wei Qingwan and Chu Lan fell in love after they met in Xingshan County.

Following a tragedy in the Wei family where Wei Mingting died in battle, Chu Lan took Wei Qingwan to the Capital City.

Although Chu Lan was in love with Wei Qingwan, for political considerations, he married the daughter of the Minister of War as his official wife. Wei Qingwan, who initially followed him without a proper title, was just one of his concubines.

Then began a story about love conquering all. Although Wei Qingwan was weak, she was kind-hearted and pure. Every time she was hurt, Chu Lan would come to comfort her, disliking his own Prince’s wife even more in the process. Then Wei Qingwan rose from being a concubine, to becoming a favorite concubine of the Crown Prince, and eventually, she became the Empress after Chu Lan ascended the throne.

In this process, Chu Lan was simply a tool, appearing whenever Wei Qingwan needed him. The changes in his status were only catalysts for the changes in status of his women.

Thinking about the original plot, Wei Ruo let out a sigh. After sighing, she remembered that her second brother was looking at her with concern.

“Second brother, I’m fine. I’m just complaining a little bit. It’s not like I’m going to cry about things that I can’t change at the moment. I’m better off doing something more productive with this time.”

“Mm.“ She had always been strong and knew clear about what she wanted, Wei Jinyi knew that.

Perhaps it was her proactive approach that had influenced him, changing his initial ideas.

It was also because of this, that he was considering competing for the position he initially decided not to strive for…

“Alright, second brother. After venting out, I feel a lot better now. I’m going back to get some actual work done,” said Wei Ruo as she got up from her seat.

“If you need anything, let me know anytime. Regardless of whether I am home or not. If I am not, just give the message to Jing Hu. He’ll make sure the message gets to me,” Wei Jinyi said earnestly.

“Okay,” Wei Ruo agreed.

Wei Ruo returned to Tingsong Garden. Rather than wasting her time worrying about the unpleasant things that had already happened, she had more important things to do.

In the past few days, despite her being engrossed in relief efforts for the disaster-stricken people, she had not neglected the farming in her space. After the last harvest of sweet potatoes, her space levelled up to level three, and the experience points were at (100/1200). After earning Shiitake Mycelium, Wei Ruo began planting them relentlessly.

To raise her experience points quickly, Wei Ruo was hands-on in the process of making Shiitake planting bags, especially the step of implanting the mycelium, nearly all of which was done by herself.

After nearly two months of planting, along with Wei Ruo’s cultivation in her space, the experience points soared quickly.

Five days ago, her experience points were filled up again, leveling up to the fourth level, and unlocking a new type of seed.

Upon seeing the new seeds, Wei Ruo was moved to tears.

It was wheat, the very seed she needed right at the moment!

The wheat seed wasn’t scarce, but the wheat seed bestowed by her space was remarkable in every way. It was highly disease-resistant, had good drought tolerance, frost resistance, and was also flood-tolerant. Genetically speaking, it was superior.

About a half month ago, Wei Ruo had made plans to cultivate wheat on a large scale to achieve a dual crop yield per year.

However, sudden changes in weather conditions had made her dream a significant challenge.

The wheat sprouts from the last sowing season had been ruined by the bouts of cold and heavy rain. Now, after much restoration, everyone was waiting for Wei Ruo to command them to plant the new wheat.

Wei Ruo had been racking her brains on how to utilize limited resources to ensure the yield of wheat under severe weather conditions.

Now, half of her problem was solved.

Now she had to quickly sow the wheat in her space because the seeds given when she upgraded were limited. She could obtain more seeds by harvesting crops.

It was too late to sow in reality, so Wei Ruo had no choice but to rely on the space where the growth cycle was short enough that it took only five days to grow wheat.

Today was just the fifth day since she had sown the first batch of wheat. She needed to go back to harvest the wheat and then assume the wheat seeds for the farmers in City South to plant again..
