. He stared at her with a knowing smile that wasn't quite a smile. Though he said nothing, did nothing, his expression was like he had spoken countless embarrassing things to her.This is so intense!An...Of course An Xuetang knew what "ten miles of red makeup" meant, it was just a way to describe a rich dowry. But she didn't know what Mo Yunjing suddenly bringing it up meant.

Could it be...he wants to give her a new betrothal gift!

Mò Yúnjǐng gently reached out to stroke her long hair, "Tángtáng, I will give you ten miles of red makeup, but I need you to wait for me for a while, okay Wait until I stand upright and announce to everyone that An Xuetáng is my beloved in this life, my only queen, the only woman I have!"

"...."

An Xuetang didn't quite know how to describe her feelings. This wasn't what she meant at all! She swore she hadn't asked him for a promise or for him to renew the betrothal, but somehow things had developed like this.

She blushed, staring at his handsome face, not knowing what to say.

Mo Yunjing saw her stunned, he pinched her little face, "Tangtang, don't you believe me"

"No, no." An Xuetang shook her little head. "I believe you, Jing, but... haven't we already gotten married What's a ten-mile red bridal procession to me"

Her small hand gently rested on Mo Yun Jing's chest, "I am an easily satisfied person. As long as this place here is filled with me, just me, that's enough."

Mo Yunjing curled his lips, covering her small hand with his large one. "Here, this will always be Tangtang's territory, no one can encroach upon it."

"…"

Holy crap!

An Xuetang really couldn't stand it anymore, this man was too seductive, she was about to lose control and want to pounce on her.

As a woman in the 21st century, she really didn't want to control herself. If it weren't for the fact that her family member ah Jing had inconvenient legs and feet, she would have pounced on him and eaten him up!

Although this behavior... is pretty ruthless!

But it's not illegal for a woman to flirt with her own man!

Moments later, her small hand quickly retracted as if it had been burned.

Mo Yunjing's lips curled into a slight smile, staring at her with a half-smile.

An Xuetang turned her face away, cleared her throat, and said, "Ah Jing, what I wanted to tell you isn't this."

"Huh What does Tangtang want to tell me"

"Ajing, I need silver. I want to accomplish something great, but I don't have enough."

Getting down to business, An Xuetang forgot all about being shy. She looked at Mo Yunjing seriously and said, “Our estate has a thousand acres of fertile land, doesn’t it I want to make full use of it. I want this land to produce something year-round.”

"All four seasons" Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow. "Tangtang, haven't you forgotten that we live in the north It snows in December, so how could Tangtang make this place produce crops year-round in such an environment"

"An Xuetang smiled and said, 'Ah Jing, if, I mean if, we moved the soil from the ground into our room, we could burn fire in winter to keep it warm. Ah Jing, do you think the crops planted here could survive'"

Hearing An Xue Tang's words, Mo Yun Jing's pupils constricted, apparently thinking of the feasibility of this method, "So, Sugar Sugar, you want silver and in the winter, you want to build houses on those thousand mu of good land"

It can be understood that way, but it's not really about building an actual house. That would require too much manpower and resources, it wouldn't be cost-effective at all. I was just thinking of giving the field some sort of covering.

"Wrapped in cloth"

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, we call that a greenhouse back home. We build it with wind and rain-resistant fabric, like a coat for our fields to keep them warm. As long as the temperature is right, we can grow some high-survival-rate crops.”

Mo Yunjing fell silent for a moment, "Alright, Sugar, you do whatever you want. As for the money, Sugar, do you still remember the jade pendant I gave you"

"Remember." An Xuetang took out a jade pendant from her purse. This jade pendant was given to her by Mo Yunjing, and it even had his character 'Jing' on it.

Mo Yunjing smiled at the sight of her carefully tending to the jade pendant. "Tangtang, you can take this jade pendant to Cang Hai Trading House to withdraw silver."

> Cang Hai Merchant

This is the biggest trading company in town, they do everything business-wise, An Xue Tang knows.

"What is the relationship between Ajing and this Canghai Merchant Firm"

"The Canghai Trading Company is my王府's property, spread across the entire country. When my 300,000 troops marched, it was thanks to the Canghai Trading Company that they were supplied with food and grass in time, preventing starvation. This company stores grain for the Northern Border army every year, serving as our granary."

Ah, I see.

An Xuetang also roughly understood that this Cang Hai Merchant Firm was indeed Jing's private enterprise. It is estimated that few people knew that the behind-the-scenes owner of Cang Hai Merchant Firm was actually the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

"Ah Jing, if I go to withdraw the money now, won't that reveal that you are still alive"

Mo Yunjing fell silent for a moment, "It doesn't matter anymore, anyway, I should make my appearance."

"No, no." An Xuetang shook her head. "You can't be exposed right now. The Emperor and your half-siblings all want you dead. You haven't recovered from your injury yet and haven't joined forces with the Northern Frontier army. We can't take this risk."

"Sugar, don't you need silver"

"I need money, but I'm not in a hurry. Even if I was, I wouldn't harm you. This method won't work."

After finishing, she muttered to herself, “It's alright. I'll have Ding Hua handle the greenhouse matter. Our estate still has the business of earthen rabbit and duck. As long as there is money coming in, I'll have Ding Hua use that money to stockpile the needed fabric. Starting now, little by little, we'll save up enough.”

Mo Yunjing arched his lips, indulgently stroking her long hair. "Tangtang, don't worry yourself. My leg will be fine in a few days. Even if I revealed that I'm alive now, by the time those people from the capital arrive, we might have already moved our base."

"That won't do either." An Xuetang firmly refused, "I'm in charge of this matter. Whether it's your Cang Hai Trading House or my estate, I hope they will never be exposed in the future. Hopefully, both places can become granaries for your Northern Xinjiang army."

Mo Yun's deep eyes stared at her. After a moment, he pulled her up and held her tightly in his arms, as if wanting to rub her into his bone marrow.

An Xue Tang's body stiffened for a moment, then she smiled and hugged him back, "Ah Jing, are you moved by me"

Mo Yunjing chuckled softly, “Well, I was touched by Tangtang.”

"Then how about offering yourself to him in marriage"

Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure, Tangtang"

He gently pushed her away, lifting her chin with one hand.

This pose immediately made An Xue Tang's face flush red. She cleared her throat, "T-that... that is, I suddenly remembered there was something to tell Ding Hua, so I... uh..."

Before she could finish her words, Mo Yunjing had accurately and firmly captured her crimson lips.

Sometimes gentle, sometimes domineering, he nibbled at her.

An Xue Tang's hands tightened slightly. Although such intimacy wasn't the first time, she was still nervous!rally wouldn't have thought anything had happened inside the house.Therefore, this matter cannot be blamed on Ning'er at all; it is just Bai Feng's ability that has increased.An Xue Tang looked at Sho...
