So Yuwen Luan Fei nodded and said, "Understood, if you aren’t interested in promotions or titles, what about reinstating the marriage contract?
Once you return victorious, I will grant marriage and you can remarry happily."
Wenren Pingting paused slightly, staring intently at the two, awaiting what Li Wenli would say next.
Li Wenli appeared to smile but not really, shooting a glance at Bai Junjun, "Your Highness, don’t mess around, or the young mistress might compose some little poems for me again, which I can’t handle."
"Tsk." Bai Junjun wordlessly rolled her eyes.
Yuwen Luan Fei laughed heartily, having heard about those sour poems that were once popular in the streets and alleys.
He had previously thought Bai Junjun was spoiled and willful by her family, but now, hearing it from the person themselves, he suddenly had a new perspective on the matter.
It seemed these two were the legendary bickering lovers who were willing to give as good as they got.
But what was Lao Jiu doing in the middle of all this?
Before Yuwen Luan Fei could gossip further, Bai Junjun spoke again, "If you truly want to bestow us with something, let it be something worthwhile. In these troubled times, gold and jewels are the most useful—the more, the better."
"..." Yuwen Luan Fei.
Who could be so direct about asking for a reward?
Yet, he liked this style.
Somehow, the two had unwittingly hit Yuwen Luan Fei’s soft spot, prompting him to wave a hand and have his staff bring a pile of items from the storeroom to reward them.
Bai Junjun happily accepted them.
After all, they had helped him locate a rebel stronghold!
Even offering a whole city as thanks wouldn’t be too much.
From the time Yuwen Luan Fei mentioned their marriage contract, Wenren Pingting had not participated in any topic, merely standing silently to the side, feeling sad and helpless.
However, such trivial personal woes were insignificant in the face of national and familial hatred; the three straightforward individuals didn’t notice Wenren Pingting’s mournful sadness.
Bai Junjun, now in possession of the jewels, cordially slapped Wenren Pingting on the shoulder, "Come over to my place when you have the time, I’ll treat you to a meal."
Li Wenli couldn’t help but chuckle. The young mistress was in high spirits after obtaining great treasures, reveling in her pride.
Wenren Pingting was momentarily stunned, neither nodding nor declining.
Yuwen Luan Fei, however, smilingly said, "No problem, when the time comes, I’ll have Pingting bring some fruits over for you."
"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."
Bai Junjun was very pleased.
Thus, the two of them left, carrying big and small bags.
In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli seemed to always be hanging about at the Prince’s Mansion, looking for handouts, yet Yuwen Luan Fei really enjoyed this, always sending them home with big and small bags.
Those unaware might think they were just visiting relatives or friends.
Upon returning home, Bai Junjun first let everyone indulge in some fruits before checking on the old monk in the Plum Garden. Only then did she leisurely head back to Snow Garden with Li Wenli.
She, was ready to delve into the grand business of farming in Space!
But this time entering Space, both Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were stunned.
It seemed they had only entered the Space the night before, although they had stayed in the room to take refuge and hadn’t gone out to the courtyard. But it hadn’t been that long since their last visit, had it?
This time, however, upon entering, Bai Junjun intended to plant the lychee pit, but instead found Jasmine flourishing and buzzing with lively bees, creating quite the stir.
The honey boxes, they had only emptied a third of the honey, but in a few days, they seemed to be almost full again.
The little bees were still buzzing actively around, appearing plumper than before.
Did these hard workers not know what tiredness was, or what? Even with overworking to the point of obesity, they wouldn’t stop?
