Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Tang Wan did not sleep well that night.

Whether it was because she had been thinking about it during the day or it was some kind of premonition, she had an extremely vivid nightmare in her hazy state.

In the dream, a seemingly innocent child approaches the War King, and taking advantage of his unpreparedness, a cold glint flashes in his hand, and a sharp blade swiftly attacks the War King.

Because the other party was a child, the War King was not very vigilant, and was almost stabbed.

At the critical moment, Er Ya appeared from the side like a ghost, kicked the child away, and saved the War King.

The assassin was quickly subdued, and his true identity was revealed: he was not a child, but a short dwarf.

Tang Wan woke up with a start, her heart pounding and her back covered in cold sweat.

Tang Wan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The images from her dreams kept flashing through her mind, refusing to leave.

As dawn broke, Tang Wan hurriedly sought out Er Ya to inquire about the situation on the War King's side.

"Er Ya, Er Ya, are you there?" Tang Wan's urgent voice rang in Er Ya's mind.

Hearing her master's urgent voice, Er Ya quickly replied, "Master, I'm here. Is something the matter?"

Hearing Er Ya's voice, Tang Wan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before asking, "How is the Prince of War? Has anyone tried to assassinate him?"

"How did Master know?" Er Ya asked in surprise.

It's no wonder she was so surprised. The War King had just been assassinated not long ago, and the news was strictly blocked. The Southern Desert is thousands of miles away from the Northern Desert, so the news couldn't possibly travel that far. She hadn't even mentioned it, yet her master knew. How could this not be astonishing?

Tang Wan didn't answer Er Ya's question. Hearing Er Ya's reaction, her heart sank. She hurriedly asked, "Was someone really assassinated? How is the War King? Is he injured?"

"Don't worry, Master, the War King is safe and sound," Er Ya quickly reassured him.

Then, Er Ya paused for a moment before recounting the details: "There was indeed a dwarf skilled in disguise who approached the prince disguised as a refugee child. His methods were cunning and ruthless! Fortunately, I was on guard in secret and discovered him early enough to block the attack in time. The prince was not injured. The assassin has been captured and taken back for interrogation."

After hearing Er Ya's description, Tang Wan finally felt relieved.

But then I thought to myself, I was too complacent. Since I've already encountered this situation, there's no guarantee that I won't encounter it again in the future.

Then, in an extremely serious tone, he repeatedly instructed, "Er Ya, you did very well! This time it was a fluke, but there must never be a next time! The situation in the Southern Desert is complex; the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. You must be extremely careful! I entrust the Prince's safety to you!"

"Yes, Master! Er Ya understands! I will definitely protect the Prince!" Er Ya solemnly promised.

Tang Wan was satisfied with Er Ya's answer, but then she suddenly remembered some details and instructed, "By the way, we must carefully check their diet, daily life, and the people around them. We must not be careless! If there is any unusual activity, inform me immediately!"

"Yes, Master! Er Ya will be extremely careful!" Er Ya quickly replied.

After cutting ties with Er Ya, Tang Wan sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and took a long time to calm herself down.

It wasn't until her older sister, Tang Jing, showed signs of waking up that Tang Wan took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

She rose gently, washed and tidied herself, and then went to the side room to begin taking care of household chores.

After arranging the day's tasks, her mind gradually calmed down.

After finishing these daily tasks, she suddenly remembered the hesitant expression on her sister Tang Jing's face when she chatted with her yesterday.

Perhaps I should go and find out some information for my sister.

However, I was afraid that if I rashly went to inquire about Wang Fu's whereabouts, it would arouse suspicion.

Although Wang Fu was not a big shot, it was still inappropriate for a young lady to go and inquire about a man outside the family.

But considering my past behavior, it's not a big deal. After all, I always meet with men outside my family, including both living people and ghosts.

Never mind, let it be!
After thinking for a while, Tang Wan instructed Ding Li to drive to the War King's Mansion in the northern desert.

They had only walked a short distance when Tang Wan called them to stop and said to Ding Li, "Let's go to the rouge shop!"

Ding Li didn't ask why, and drove directly to the rouge shop.

When Tang Wan came to the rouge shop, the shop wasn't too busy yet.

Upon seeing her young mistress, Zhu Xi quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Miss, you've arrived!"

"Hmm, is Ah Qi here?" Tang Wan asked directly without beating around the bush.

When Zhu Xi heard that Tang Wan was looking for A Qi, she seemed a little surprised. She paused for a moment before smiling and replying, "A Qi went out to buy groceries!"

Tang Wan was genuinely surprised; why would Ah Qi go grocery shopping?

It's hard to imagine her, a cold and aloof expert, carrying a vegetable basket.

Just thinking about that scene makes me want to laugh.

Since Ah Qi isn't here, we'll just have to wait a bit.

Tang Wan wasn't in a hurry, so she asked about the situation at the Zhuxi shop: "Have the new skincare products been given to our regular customers to try? How did they feel?"

When Tang Wan asked about the new product, Zhu Xi replied happily, "Miss, we've sent out several sets! Several ladies who use it love it! They all say the new cream is moisturizing without being greasy, with a delicate and long-lasting fragrance, and their complexions are much brighter the next day!"

Tang Wan was pleased to hear this and nodded, saying, "That's good. I'll make some more recently, and after some adjustments to the packaging, they'll be ready to go on sale."

My expectations for the new product were always positive, but hearing definite positive feedback still made me happy.

Just then, Ah Qi walked in, carrying a vegetable basket with some fresh vegetables and a piece of pork.

However, Ah Qi's unchanging cold expression, coupled with the vegetable basket in her hand, created a stark contrast, making Tang Wan smile involuntarily.

Ah Qi seemed oblivious to their suppressed laughter, handed the vegetable basket to Zhu Yun, then walked up to Tang Wan and bowed, saying, "Second Miss!"

"Ah Qi, there's no need for such formality. You've come at the perfect time; I need to talk to you!" Tang Wan said as she walked towards the backyard.

Seeing this, Ah Qi followed.

Upon arriving in the backyard, the two went straight into the small study.

As soon as he entered the room, Ah Qi asked, "Second Miss, please let me know if you need anything!"

He had originally been sent by the War King to protect the person in front of him, but the person in front of him had asked him to guard the shop.

I only use myself when I need to deliver a message to the War King; I feel like I'm practically growing hair on myself.

Tang Wan nodded and said seriously, "Yes, there's something I need you to do."

Although they were in the study, she still gestured for Ah Qi to come closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Go back to the Zhan Wang Mansion and try to find out about Wang Fu. He is the eldest son of the Taiyuan Wang family and passed the imperial examination this year. You should know him, right?"

After saying that, Tang Wan looked up at A Qi.

Ah Qi nodded slightly and said, "I know!"

"That's good. I'd like to know if he's still in the Hanlin Academy or has been transferred to another post? Any news about his current situation is welcome," Tang Wan said in a low voice. (End of Chapter)
