Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Tingfeng Pavilion!

Jiwei Residence!

He had no inkling how much the Grand Emperor knew before, therefore he had always thought that as long as the Grand Emperor failed to produce evidence of his rebellion, he would stubbornly deny it.

What was the Grand Emperor saying now?

The Grand Emperor was mentioning Tingfeng Pavilion and Jiwei Residence, this implied that the Grand Emperor knew everything!

Good heavens!

Tong Third son, who was standing beside him, quickly steadied him after seeing this.

Yang Wenxiao saw his reaction and chuckled, “Don’t be afraid. Your younger brother, Prime Minister Yu Ang; I do understand his rebellious plans that your mother had arranged for him.”

“To aid me in dealing with all those defiant Aristocratic Families.”

The Aristocratic Families, existing for hundreds of years, have their power permeating all facets of Daqi.

He managed to keep those Aristocratic Families in check by relying on gunpowder and his elite troops, but he knew that they were not genuinely submissive, and detested him as an emperor of lowly origin.

However, he couldn’t obliterate all those people.

The officials of Daqi regions were predominantly from these Aristocratic Families, if he were to destroy them, who would administrate at the grassroots level for him?

They can’t be obliterated.

With the threat of gunpowder and elite troops, those Aristocratic Families, although engaged in occasional subversive actions, dared not to overstep the line.

Hence, a subtle balance was achieved between the two parties.

He vigorously promoted the Imperial Examination, elevating the scholars not from Aristocratic Families, hoping to slowly replace those local officials.

Although his plan was pursued with difficulty, there was a certain degree of success after several decades.

Then he found her, found out about her plan.

She planned to use this batch of treasures to attract all the Aristocratic Families here, and let them fight each other for the treasure. Not necessarily killing each other, but this place was far away from the emperor’s reach. He had the gunpowder, he could blow them all up at once and uproot those Aristocratic Families.

This plan was quite good and he agreed with it considerably, so the treasure map started to circulate in the world.

This was a slow process, but fortunately, the final goal was all situated in this direction.

But unexpectedly, Yang Ye was the first one to find this place, incidentally drawing Yang Wang and Cen Hong here too.

None of the people from Aristocratic Families arrived.

The ones who shouldn’t have come, came; the ones who should have come didn’t come at all.

The plan that he and she worked on for twenty years turned out to be a complete failure.

How frustrating it was.

However, fortunately, this batch of treasures was currently missing.

Since they were missing, this plan could still proceed.

“It’s a pity that this plan didn’t achieve its original purpose.” Yang Wenxiao sighed.

TongTiehu “…”

Tong Third son “…”

This conversation carried a great deal of information.

The two men were stunned, and it took them quite a while to digest it thoroughly.

Once Tong Tiehu understood what exactly was happening, he couldn’t help but feel like crying. My dear mother, since this rebellion was a sham, why couldn’t you inform me beforehand?

If he had been informed earlier, he would have definitely put forth his best efforts to play along, he surely would have.

Do you know how hard and complicated his life has been?

A child of ten, burdened with the great responsibility of avenging his father’s death and plotting a rebellion, how hard it had been for him.

Both physically and mentally, his life was quite tolling.

His grandson also lived a hard life because of it, even afraid to marry.

When facing the woman he loved, he wished he could lower his head into the dust, desiring to burn himself solely for her, such a sight was heart-wrenching.

Claiming that they had to avenge their father’s death and to fulfill the unaccomplished grand enterprise of their ancestors, under such a heavy and great banner, what was the truth?

Truth was, they were planning for the future of the Yang Family’s Mount Jiang!

It was indeed not my birth mother.

Only a stepmother would dare to use and torment him the way she did his whole life.

Sorrowful, so sorrowful indeed.
