Chapter 402 - 402: Do What You Should Do
He widened his eyes, looking at the splendid scenery.
“This is where you perform magic, right?”
“Yes, most of my things come from here.”
Qiao Mai flew with him in the air within the space. “Greeny takes care of these.” “Goodness, isn’t this space larger than the land governed by the emperor?”
“He governs only that much. The land area here is thousands of times his.”
As they spoke, Greeny appeared in front of them. “Master, Master’s husband, greetings.”
“Greeny, can you speak human language?”
“I am the spirit of this space. I am proficient in human or animal language.”
“You’re amazing.”
“Hehe, my master is even more amazing.”
“Of course. My wife is the most amazing.”
They flew low to get a better view below, and Yuan Jiaqi couldn’t help but exclaim.
“This place has everything!”
Greeny raised its head. “Master’s husband, each plant here regenerates after being picked. Don’t believe it? Look.”
It reached out, plucked a peach, and handed it to Yuan Jiaqi.
A new peach quickly grew in the same spot. Yuan Jiaqi was quite astonished.
This was an endless and incredible self-sustaining resource.
Realizing it was impossible to see everything, Qiao Mai brought him back to the computer.
“Husband, you’ve seen most of my space. My space is just for planting vegetation and raising small animals. Rare items like those are bought here.” Yuan Jiaqi stared at the laptop in disbelief. “We can buy things directly here?”
“Yes. Sit next to me and watch. I’ll show you.”
“Alright.”
Qiao Mai first bought some small items from the platform. She placed the silver on the table, and the money pouch disappeared, replaced by the purchased items.
Yuan Jiaqi couldn’t believe his eyes. “You can just buy a table of food from here instead of cooking?”
“Hehe, yes.”
She selected many dishes they liked on the platform and bought a bottle of wine.
Greeny set up a table in the courtyard, looking at the full table of food. The couple sat down.
Greeny poured the wine attentively, then obediently flew away, not disturbing the couple’s private life.
“Wife, I thought I’d never see the day you’d bring me in.”
“I didn’t plan to bring you here because everyone has their secrets. I’ve never hidden anything from you. There’s no real difference between coming in or
” not.
“Do you usually cultivate here?”
“Yes, the air here is helpful for me. It’s more efficient than practicing outside.”
Yuan Jiaqi served her food while asking.
“So, once you’re in seclusion, can I still come in?”
“You can call Greeny. It has the authority to bring you in.”
Yuan Jiaqi was delighted. He feared that once she closed herself off, he’d be left outside, unable to see her for months.
“Does that mean after the house is renovated, we can buy things from here?”
“Yes, we can order the design we want. No need to build houses. Then, we can create a large pit for wastewater treatment on the ground behind, similar to the one in the capital.”
“Wife, it seems our tenants might terminate their leases.”
“Oh? They’re not renting anymore?”
“Yes, they’ve accumulated wealth from years of cultivating greenhouses, and each family has bought fertile land.”
“Perfect. Instruct someone to surround the rear sixty-five acres with brick walls. We won’t need the large greenhouses in the future.”
“I’ll use techniques to seal off the backyard. There won’t be any need for a greenhouse. It’ll be warm like spring all year round.” “Wow, it’s over sixty acres. What should we grow?”
“Whatever you want. I’ll leave it to you.”
“Hehe, alright.”
The couple spent a romantic night in the space. The next day, the transformation of Lucky Garden officially began.
After closing the gate, Yuan Jiaqi, along with his household staff, began the renovation under Qiao Mai’s guidance.
Three days later, all the bathrooms were completed. Five days after that, the sewage treatment was revamped, and half a month later, the rear sixty-five acres of land were enclosed.
Qiao Mai used enchantments to set up the area in the back, employing numerous talismans as needed.
The temperature will remain constant throughout the year, unaffected by wind or rain. For watering the fields, they utilized water from a nearby river.
A live water source was introduced to the backyard, making it convenient for the household staff to irrigate.
Qiao Mai also arranged an enchantment in the front yard, using high-quality spiritual stones to set up a large array.
Living in this place for an extended period was believed to promote longevity. People here were expected to live longer than ordinary individuals.
As the renovations progressed until July, Lucky Garden rarely opened its gate, causing the residents to speculate if something significant was happening.
The Liu and Qian families even dispatched people to inquire.
The gate only opened in mid-July, and some curious individuals stood outside, peering in. They couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but they were surprised to see an ethereal mist emanating from inside.
After taking care of the house, Qiao Mai entered seclusion in her space.
As for the situation in the capital, she didn’t want to know anything. If the children wanted to visit, it would be with her husband’s hospitality; otherwise, let them be.
Sons will eventually have their path, and daughters will have their own families. Forcibly picked melons are not sweet. They have all grown up, and it’s no longer appropriate for their parents to interfere in their lives.
After Qiao Mai entered seclusion, Yuan Jiaqi managed the family business and rarely went out.
Occasionally, relatives and friends would come, and he would arrange food and drinks for them. But he never drank much.
If he missed Qiao Mai, he would call Greeny at night.
He accompanied Qiao Mai all night inside the space. He wouldn’t sleep as if he couldn’t get enough of looking at his wife.
The next day, he would go out and do whatever needed to be done.
The industries in County She were profitable, and he divided the income into two halves, giving half to Chuan’er and half to Ling’er.
For businesses like Qiao’s Small Eatery, he would keep the money. He would hand it over to Qiao Mai to manage.
The emperor and empress had been living in the capital’s Lucky Garden. Sometimes, they would chat with Old Master and Mistress Wang.
The Golden Dragon Guards often reported the situation in County She to the emperor. “Your Majesty, the reconstruction there is complete. All the land has been enclosed, and trees, vegetables, and fruits have been planted.”
“Did Mr. Yuan personally work on the land?”
“Yes, the servants in the family also work on the land daily. They say the backyard is beautiful. We want to zo in, but for some reason, we can’t. We can only enter openly through the main gate.”
The emperor snorted, “It’s strange if you can go in. Even if you can, you might die inside without some skills.”
The leader of the Golden Dragon Guards smiled awkwardly, “Naturally, we can’t compare with the Royal Consort. She has extraordinary skills.”
“Of course. She is the pillar of our Ming Dynasty. Without her, we would have been finished long ago.”
Lying on a bamboo chair, the empress ate large grapes sweet enough to narrow her eyes.
“Your Majesty, should we go to Tianshui Town for the New Year?”
“Not now. The crown prince seems to have turned over a new leaf, but I know he’s hiding himself. I don’t want anything to happen to Ling’er. We’ll go in a few years when it’s safer.”
Speaking of this, the empress looked uncomfortable.
“A beauty is a hero’s tomb. He was enchanted by that skin.”
“Why did I give birth to such a son? Except for this, he’s good in all elements.” “He might be holding a grudge because of the child in that woman’s belly.”
“I don’t care about him. The future heir must be Ling’er’s child. This is also an explanation to my in-law.”
The empress sat up abruptly. “Do you mean to bypass the crown prince and appoint a new heir directly?”
“Why not?”
