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

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Situation Stabilizes_1 Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Situation Stabilizes_1 “It’s true that he has earned a lot, but compared to the Shen Family, an aristocratic family with hundreds of years of heritage, it’s still far from enough. Many aristocratic families are richer than his Yang Family, and that must rankle him,” Tong Sanlang said.

As he spoke, he sighed, “You saw it yourself that day, the sudden appearance of the Divine Crossbow, standing on the city walls, each one like a Black and White Impermanence from hell, wielding the great authority over the life and death of mortals. Being the Emperor, how could one feel secure in that position without some real skills?”

“The ideas my grandfather and great-uncle had seem a bit ridiculous now.”

Even the Shen Family, with all their historical depth, couldn’t find a foolproof way to rebel, let alone his Tong Family.

Luckily we didn’t revolt, otherwise we’d end up just like the Shen Family.

Mentioning the Divine Crossbow from that day, Xiaomai couldn’t help but stretch out her arms and rub her forearms, Tong Sanlang’s description was spot on, those men in black holding the Divine Crossbow were indeed like the Black and White Impermanence from hell.

“This Capital City is truly frightening.”

“I hope it’s over quickly, I want to go back to Anping Village, I miss dad and Dami.”

Compared to the hell on earth that was the Capital City, Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami, the naive and sweet father and son duo, seemed as lovely as angels.

Tong Sanlang raised his finger and poked her puffed-up cheek, comforting her, “Stay for another month. With the Shen Family gone, there won’t be any trouble in the future, and we can live a peaceful life.”

“The number one aristocratic family has fallen, and there’s no turmoil in the Imperial Court?” Xiaomai asked curiously.

“With bombs and the Divine Crossbow, who would dare to object?”

The Yang Family had achieved a delicate balance with the aristocratic families through explosives and elite troops, but that was the situation fifty years ago.

Fifty years later, seven or eight out of ten officials in Daqi were selected through the Imperial Examination backed by the Yang Family, significantly weakening the influence of the aristocratic families. Their power had been cut down, and just a few days ago, they had witnessed Yang Wenxiao’s thunderous approach.

They had simply given the order, and the Shen Family was raided. Under such circumstances, who would dare to stand out?

Even if there were any little schemes, they would have to wait until this storm had passed.

“In front of absolute power, those so-called deeply-rooted aristocratic families are like paper tigers that burn up at the first touch of fire,” Tong Sanlang said, unable to help sighing.

The Divine Crossbow.

Explosives.

He too longed to possess them.

“I’m going to see the retired Emperor and ask him to upgrade my whip again.” He got up from the desk after feeling the emotion in his words, as his whip had a wide range but lacked killing power and needed improvement.

“Aren’t you going to study anymore?” Xiaomai also stood up.

“No, my mind isn’t on the Imperial Examination,” Tong Sanlang replied smoothly.

Having a handy weapon with immense destructive power was more important to him than studying.

Xiaomai “…”

As she watched Tong Sanlang’s figure disappear, she sighed somewhat melancholically and stood up to go to the small kitchen to make dinner.

The next day, Xiaomai reported to Yang Wenxiao and then took Tong Sanlang out of the Palace to go shopping.

Since Tong Sanlang had no interest in studying, they might as well go shopping. Since her arrival in the Capital City, she hadn’t really had the chance to do so properly.

In recent days, Yang Wenxiao had bestowed quite a few things on them, so much that their temporary room couldn’t accommodate it all. The palace maids had to clear out another room for them to store those rewards. With so many gifts from Yang Wenxiao, Xiaomai lost the urge to shop.

After a casual stroll, she and Tong Sanlang found themselves at the entrance of Zuixian Building.

Zuixian Building had already started doing business. While it wasn’t packed to the rafters, there was a steady stream of customers coming and going.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Xiaomai pulled Tong Sanlang and went inside.
