“This is such a bruise to my ego! I’m no better than a little child!”

Chen Liang comforted him, “Little Uncle has always been so inhuman, you just have to get used to it.” He had heard many rumors about Little Uncle when he was in the academy. As expected, Little Uncle, who has beaten up all the teachers, is not to be messed with!

Helian Wei Wei was looking at the topography of the surrounding mountains, thinking about the problem of the mountain slope at the same time. She walked over when she heard the noise. Little Seven was holding a steamed meat bun in his mouth, clenching his hands into fists while hitting the mountain slope. He managed to clear the pathway after a total of five hits, his little face was extremely calm.

Needless to say, Helian Wei Wei knew whose idea it was. She glanced at Baili Jia Jue and said smilingly, “Are you the one who called Little Seven over?”

“He can’t sit still at home.” Baili Jia Jue took out a handkerchief to clean the little one’s hands and said, “He will come out sooner or later.”

Which meant everything goes according to his plan... Helian Wei Wei coughed softly. If Magistrate Liao and the others know that the private advisor that they have been ignoring is actually so wicked and two-faced, would all of them have a breakdown? action

Nonetheless.

“Now that the road is clear, we can start digging and burying pipes to channel water,” Helian Wei Wei surely was in a better mood now as this was a load off her mind.

Old Man Liu was standing beside her, he was not as optimistic as Wei Wei. “Lord Wei, the position of the river is lower than the rice fields. It’s impossible to bury pipes and channel water. Everyone knows that water flows to a lower place, how is that possible for water to flow uphill?” If it was just a simple act of burying pipes and channeling water, Fuping County would not suffer from drought for three continuous years. Even if the official could not think of such a method, they had been doing farm work all year round and knew the topography of Fuping County very well, which was why Old Man Liu dared to say such words.

“Don’t worry, Old Man Liu. I’ll fix all these problems,” Helian Wei Wei did not explain much. After all, none of them would understand the concept of pneumatic water pumping system even if she told them. Thus, she just simply mentioned it.

If it was someone else who told him that, Old Man Liu would definitely think that the idea was a pie in the sky. However, since the words came from Helian Wei Wei’s mouth, he believed that it was reliable and possible to do it.

Still...

“Lord Wei, you’d better be careful. People from the provincial capital will be here tomorrow to fix the road. I saw Private Advisor Zhang coming to the rice field when I was plowing. He was telling the folks about the benefits of fixing the road,” Old Man Liu made a slight pause and continued, “many young people have believed him. They want to file a joint petition to ask why Lord Wei doesn’t allow them to fix the road. They suspect that you’re unwilling to use the allocated funds because you want to keep the money.”

Chen Liang’s eyes went wide upon hearing this. “Do you think our boss wants that little money? What are the folks thinking about? Boss doesn’t let them fix the road because originally there are already two roads in Fuping County, there’s no point in fixing another road. Besides, they may seize the opportunity to gain profit. Curing the drought is of utmost importance now, isn’t it? Why are they suspecting our boss after listening to a few words of the others?”

Old Man Liu felt embarrassed as well. He had seen with his eyes everything that Lord Wei had done in these two days; Lord Wei did not deserve insult and slander.

That Private Advisor Zhang was shameless to a certain extent, those who did not understand the situation would actually be deceived by him and thought that fixing the road would help in changing the status quo of Fuping County.

Although Old Man Liu was just a farmer, he was not completely ignorant. He looked at Helian Wei Wei after some thought and said, “Lord Wei, do you want to look for someone else above you? You may not be able to explain yourself if you wait until tomorrow.”

“There’s nothing that I can’t explain,” Helian Wei Wei smiled and said, “a clear conscience is a sure card.”

Old Man Liu shook his head and said, “Lord Wei, you’re too young to understand how society works nowadays. Sometimes, people will swear black is white even though you’re right.”

“Old Man Liu is right,” Baili Jia Jue picked up the sentence naturally. He curled his lips into a smile; his face was more eminent than heaven and earth. He used a handkerchief to wipe Helian Wei Wei’s hands, looking at her with his deep, seductive eyes. “You’ve had enough fun. Starting from now, let me, your private advisor, to settle the matters in Fuping County officialdom. You only have to focus on channeling water to the rice fields.”

The shadow guards who were standing in the dark exchanged glances upon hearing that, thinking in their minds that, His Highness can’t take it anymore and finally decides to do it himself. Sigh, seriously, why did they push the princess consort aside... They will definitely have to pay for it, definitely!

Helian Wei Wei looked at Baili Jia Jue’s side face, knowing that someone was going to be in trouble. She looked silently at the Little Bald Head standing beside her.

Little Seventh Prince looked extremely solemn, he said, “Third Brother, you must bring me with you if you want to beat up someone! You can treat me a meat meal after that!”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

“I haven’t punished you for leaving home secretly.” Baili Jia Jue looked at the little one from a height and stated clearly, “We will have a talk after dinner.”

Little Seven had no intention to talk to his Third Brother at all.

Their conversation always ended with his butt dance!

He could not let himself lose face outside the palace!

Little Bald Head grasped his long pants tightly at this thought. He pattered to Helian Wei Wei, seeking protection from his Third Aunt.

Helian Wei Wei bowed down and pinched the little one’s face, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“I did my research before I came, the jujube in Fuping County is the most delicious one!” Little Bald Head said earnestly.

All the Shadows who followed behind him could not help nodding their heads. They could testify for this, the little master cared the most about the local specialty food!

Helian Wei Wei broke into laughter and said, “You can’t have jujube as a proper meal, let’s eat the spiced beef, it’s your favorite.”

“Okay,” Little Seventh Prince was never a picky eater. He felt happy as long as he had something to eat. He followed behind Helian Wei Wei, looking innocent and sturdy.

Chen Liang and Da Xiong were tactful, they did not accompany them. One of them went to the Liu family to protect Liu Yin while the other stayed at the rice field to keep an eye on the situation.

Soon, the night wore on. The two adults and one kid went for a walk to help with digestion after dinner.

The little one always restrained himself in front of his Third Brother. He tugged at Baili Jia Jue’s sleeve, trying his best to move his tiny legs.

Helian Wei Wei’s heart was melted by his cuteness, she turned around to look at him and said, “Are you tired?”

“No,” Little Seven lifted his head and glanced at his Third Brother before looking at Helian Wei Wei. “If Third Aunt is tired, you can ask Third Brother to hug you. There’s no stranger here, you guys can hug whenever you want.”

“When did I ever say that...” Before Helian Wei Wei could even finish her sentence, Baili Jia Jue drew her in his arms and lifted her off the ground.

A whiff of special nobility wafted across her face. All Helian Wei Wei could see from her angle of view was his slightly raised thin lips.
