After returning to the residence, Shen Yijia hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of rice and took out the potato.
The potatoes were still the same as a few days ago. There had to be some changes. The moldy area had expanded a little.
Shen Yijia asked Butler Wan to find a larger flower pot and dug up some soil in the courtyard. Without any explanation, she buried the entire potato in the soil.
The corners of Butler Wan’s mouth twitched. Even if he had never been hit by a plant before, he knew that it was impossible to plant moldy things alive. This madam was still so simple and crude.
Even if the potatoes weren’t spoiled, he felt that she would kill the potato by planting it.
“Madam, what are you doing? Just let me do it. How can you do such manual labor yourself?” When he was in the palace, he had seen many concubines who liked planting flowers. Once the plant died, they would cry and grieve for a long time.
Young Master Song cared so much about his wife. If she cried because of this, Young Master Song’s heart would ache.
If Young Master Song was in a bad mood, would their lord have a good life?
In order to prevent this from happening, he wanted to take over the job.
Of course, he did not think that he had the ability to grow these potatoes, but he could make a swap and plant something else instead.
This was something new from outside. No one would know what it looked like after it grew out.
Even if he had to change to another flower seed, he could send it back after it grew flowers.
Butler Wan felt that this was a foolproof plan.
Unfortunately, Shen Yijia did not appreciate his kindness and chased him away.
If she knew what he was thinking, she might have asked, “Do you think I’m stupid and easy to deceive?”
Butler Wan could only leave dejectedly.
After they left, Shen Yijia carried the flower pot back to her room and instructed Mo Yuan to guard the door and not let anyone in.
She had already prepared a basin of water in advance in the room. Her heart ached as she added a drop of spiritual liquid into the water.
She sprinkled some water with diluted spiritual liquid into the flower pot and lay on the table, staring unblinkingly at the place where the potatoes were buried.
Unfortunately, there was no reaction even after she waited for a long time.
Shen Yijia scratched her head in distress. Didn’t they say that this spiritual liquid could revive the dead? Why couldn’t it even save a small potato?
Or did she give it too little water? With this thought in mind, Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and poured more water into the flower pot. She only stopped when the soil inside was completely drenched.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths. There was still no reaction. However, this time, she did not water it. Even if she did not understand, she knew that going overboard was as bad as not doing enough.
She was afraid that if she continued to water the potato, she would drown it.
Perhaps the time was too short? Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yijia patiently continued to wait. If she couldn’t grow it even after adding spiritual liquid, she had no choice.
She watched in boredom for a long time, and sleepiness gradually overwhelmed her.
A bell sounded. On the deserted mountain road, a carriage covered in bells slowly passed.
The bells clanged against each other as the carriage moved, adding some vitality to the silent mountain road.
The person driving the carriage was a woman. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The woman was dressed in white and had no expression on her face. She looked especially cold.
“Mo Yu.” A slender and fair hand suddenly lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.
The woman called Mo Yu stopped the carriage and turned around to call out respectfully, “Young Master.”
“Where are we?” The woman’s voice was like jade in a stream, melodious like the sound of running water.
Just by hearing this voice, one could tell that the woman in the carriage was definitely a peerless beauty.
“We still need ten days to enter the Great Xia Kingdom,” Mo Yu replied. She paused and said hesitantly, “Young Master, you really shouldn’t have left the valley on your own. If the High Priest finds out, I’m afraid…”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Even if Father finds out, he won’t blame me. Do you think the two of us could have gone so far without his tacit approval?” The woman’s tone was filled with indifference. “Besides, don’t you want to take revenge for your brother yourself?”
Mo Yu bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes. “Of course I do. It’s just that I don’t want to see Young Master punished. Moreover, those elders in the valley…”
She was born from the same womb as her brother, but her brother, who came out earlier than her, suffered from a strange illness since he was young. He stopped growing when he was ten years old.
Although he was her elder brother, she had actually always doted on him like a younger brother. Who would have thought that he would be killed after leaving the valley? How could she not want to take revenge for him?
“How could that be? Don’t forget that your brother is gone. The valley should have sent someone else to assist that person. Do you think there’s anyone more suitable than me? Those stubborn old fellows.”
“Heh, my father is the high priest and I’m the future Master of the Valley. So what if those people are unwilling? I’m different from that woman.”
“Those people naturally can’t compare to you, Young Master.”
“That’s right. Instead of letting those useless things come out and embarrass themselves, I should do it instead. I’m sure Father thinks so too.” This should have been an arrogant sentence, but when this woman said it, you would naturally feel that it was right.
Mo Yu pursed her lips and stopped trying to persuade her. Anyone who walked out of the valley was outstanding, but compared to their young master, they could only be called trash.
The woman changed the topic and said briskly, “Let’s go straight to the capital of Great Xia. Don’t worry, I’ll naturally avenge your brother.”
“Yes Master.”
“Where’s your young lady?”
“Resting in her room.”
“Has she eaten dinner?”
“No. After lunch, Miss locked herself in her room and specially instructed me not to let anyone disturb her.”
“Send this to the kitchen and get someone to make soup with it before sending it over.”
“Yes sir.”
Shen Yijia heard this conversation in a daze, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing. She tried her best to open her heavy eyelids, rubbed her eyes, and looked up.
What she saw was a clump of green leaves. She was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was mistaken. She blinked and saw the green leaves bloom and wither visibly. The entire process took less than ten minutes.
Shen Yijia was first delighted. She thought of something and suddenly turned to look at the door. As expected, she saw Song Jingchen looking at the flower pot on the table in shock.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Oh my god, are you kidding me? Why does my beautiful husband have to see such a magical thing every time it happens?”
If she said that she was a fairy who had descended to the mortal world to continue their relationship, would her beautiful husband believe her?
“Hubby, I, this…” Shen Yijia stood up from her chair. She pointed at the flower pot guiltily and did not know how to explain.
Song Jingchen suppressed the shock in his heart and pretended to be calm. He took a few steps forward and asked calmly, “What is this?”
