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

Chapter 762 Silence
When the War King heard Tang Wan speak so seriously, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he said in an unusually calm voice, "Wan'er, don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Let alone one condition, even if Tang Wan made ten or eight conditions now, the War King would probably have to agree.

The idea of ​​marrying her had been brewing for a while. After being rejected last time, he wanted to marry her even more after spending some time together. However, before he could bring it up again, the war in the Southern Desert broke out, and he had to put it on hold for a while.

Now that they haven't been in contact for so long, hearing her voice brings a flood of longing that almost overwhelms him. He doesn't want to wait any longer and wishes he could marry her right away, but unfortunately, he has to return to the capital, which means he's wasting so much time.

Hearing the War King's words, Tang Wan simply stated her conditions, or rather, her demands: "My husband, Tang Wan's husband, can only have me in this life. One life, one love, no concubines, no mistresses, no illegitimate children. Your Highness, can you do that?"

After these words were spoken, a long silence fell on the other end of the bell.

This silence did not stem from hesitation or unwillingness, but rather from the fact that the War King was deeply shocked by Tang Wan. Upon careful consideration, he realized that such a direct and unconventional idea was exactly in line with her personality.

He was born into royalty and grew up among nobles. Not to mention his father, it was common for powerful families to have multiple wives and concubines, leading to constant infighting in the inner court. Many people even viewed women as appendages and marriage as a tool for political alliances.

He never imagined that a woman would be so brave as to demand absolute exclusivity.

In this silence, the War King's thoughts raced.

He recalled every moment since he met Tang Wan: she was unlike any other young lady, her calm and composure in the face of evil spirits, her shrewdness and competence in managing the family business, her sincere protection of her family and friends, and even the request she was making at this moment—all of this was completely different from any woman he knew.

It turned out to be the case.

The War King suddenly understood why he was so fond of her and why he felt she was so special.

The silence made Tang Wan's heart skip a beat, but she didn't say anything and waited patiently. This was her bottom line, and there was absolutely no possibility of backing down.

She knew that in this era, it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines.

Even in modern society, there are still many wealthy people who have mistresses.

But this was not the kind of life she could accept.

After a long silence, the War King's deep and solemn voice finally rang out again: "Wan'er, I promise you."

He paused, then said in an unusually firm voice, "In this life, you are the only one, and I will never have another heart. In the backyard of the royal palace, there will never be another woman besides you. I hereby swear that I will be with you for life, one love, one partner, until we grow old together."

This is not a perfunctory promise, but a solemn vow made after careful consideration.

Hearing the War King's firm vow, Tang Wan finally felt completely relieved.

She knew that, given the War King's character, once he made a promise, he would never break it.

As for worldly opinions, she doesn't care, and presumably the War King doesn't care either.

“Okay, I believe you,” Tang Wan replied softly.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's reply, the War King's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Does Wan'er have any other concerns? Should I propose marriage now?"

With her biggest concern resolved, Tang Wan felt she didn't need to make things difficult for herself, since she liked him too. So she smiled and said, "Okay, I agree!"

The War King had thought Tang Wan would think it over, and he had prepared a whole speech to persuade her. He never expected Tang Wan to agree so easily. Happiness came too suddenly, and the War King asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Tang Wan said firmly, giving her affirmative answer once again. The War King, usually so aloof, was now like a frozen river suddenly breaking apart, his emotions surging like a raging torrent.

After a long while, he managed to suppress his excitement and change the subject, talking about the interesting things that happened on the way.

The two chatted for so long that they didn't want to hang up. Their conversation gradually turned into a heartfelt exchange, and they finally cut off contact late at night.

The next day, although she didn't fall asleep until late at night, Tang Wan still woke up looking radiant.

After handling her household chores as usual, she threw herself back into the busy autumn harvest.

Directing the hired workers, checking the drying clothes, and verifying the accounts—everything seemed normal. But upon closer inspection, one could see the smile unconsciously creeping into Tang Wan's eyes and brows.

The days that followed seemed to form a sweet routine.

Tang Wan was busy with the autumn harvest and various other matters during the day, but the night became the time she looked forward to the most.

She and the War King chatted about their travels, daily life, and longing for each other through the bell, and their feelings for each other quickly deepened.

The busy time flew by, and in just a few days, the main crops of wheat and millet had been harvested and stored away.

The fields are now mostly planted with potatoes, corn, soybeans, and other crops that will take some time to harvest, which has eased the busy atmosphere somewhat.

Although our own grain has already been stored, the fruit we ordered should be ready for harvest by now.

Tang Wan got busy again, but this time there was some distance. Tang Wan only instructed Chen Da to take his men to the orchard they had previously agreed upon to inspect the goods and transport the fruit back in batches. She was mainly responsible for overall coordination and inspection.

However, this orchard wasn't their own. The other orchard wanted to harvest the fruit as soon as possible to prevent it from spoiling if it stayed on the tree for too long, so the amount transported back was quite substantial.

After all, fruit doesn't keep well, and with so much harvested at once, we need to hurry up and make it into canned goods.

Fortunately, the workshop had expanded and more people had been hired, so the canning process could be done a little faster.

In this way, not too many fruits will spoil, and the losses will be relatively small.

Tang Wan sent some of the canned peaches to the Zhao family. After all, the peaches were all gone now, and canned peaches would gradually become scarce, so it was better to keep more peaches.

That day, after delivering two truckloads of apples, Tang Wan inspected the goods and, fearing she wouldn't be able to finish processing them all at once, had someone put the baskets of apples into the warehouse next door.

Suddenly, a crisp bell rang in her mind; it was the bell that Boss Wan had used to make the call.

Fearing that something might happen to Boss Wan, Tang Wan hurriedly gave Chen Da a few instructions before returning to the house and answering the bell.

"Mr. Wan? Is something the matter?" Tang Wan asked in a calm voice.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's voice, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, then replied in a somewhat serious tone, "Master! Excuse me for disturbing you! A man who looks like a manager just came into the shop. He looked flustered and said that the young master of his family was getting married today. The wedding procession was on its way when a sudden change occurred! I'm afraid you'll have to come over."

Tang Wan frowned slightly and pressed for details: "An unexpected turn of events? Explain it more clearly."
