Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Chapter 121 Hou Yuanxuan's Identity

"My name is Daya, I am 23 years old this year, and I was sold by a man who was addicted to gambling. I am strong, I can farm, raise chickens and ducks, and make clothes and shoes." Daya was afraid that she didn't know as much as the others, so she told them everything she knew.

"Since you have come to this family, then do your best. I will not look at you differently because of your past. I look at your present. I don't have many requirements for you. First, do more work at home, ask less questions, and don't tell others about family matters. Keep your mouth shut."

"Second, since you have said goodbye to the past, don't get involved. If you have any, you can tell Hong Fei."

"Third, and most important, is that you must be absolutely loyal to me, this family, and everyone else. With others, one act of infidelity might mean a lifetime of disloyalty, but with me, as long as you are unfaithful, there is only one outcome."

Mi Yao saw that several people’s faces changed with fear, so he stood up and left.

Hou Yuanxuan followed.

"master!"

Mi Yao turned around and sat down in the lobby.

"Master, I'm leaving." Hou Yuanxuan clasped his fists but did not kneel on one knee.

"Well, I've noticed that you're different from others before, so I guess your identity isn't simple." Mi Yao had guessed it long ago.

"To be honest with you, my master, my name is not Hou Yuanxuan, but Hou Xuanyuan..." When Mi Yao heard this, she realized that Xuanyuan is the national surname. Did she buy a prince?

"I am the fifth prince of the Dongqi Kingdom. Although my mother was not born in a high family, being the daughter of a fifth-rank official, she was very good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, knitting, sewing, horse riding and archery since she was young. In the year of the imperial selection, my mother entered the palace and was favored. Soon after, I was born. However, the palace was a dark place. My mother caught a cold and it got worse and worse. She died when I was five years old. After that, I was repeatedly plotted against and my life hovered at the gate of the King of Hell several times."

"My maternal grandfather's family is the Yongxin Marquis Mansion. They only have a title but no real power. They were powerless to save me. Later, I could only tell my father that I wanted to go to the military camp for training. So I left the palace. I thought I would be far away from the dangers of the palace. However, despite all my calculations, I was still framed. Two years ago, I was framed by someone close to me and became a slave. After several twists and turns, I was bought back by you."

"I thought my life would be just as peaceful as it was, but when I returned to Beijing this time, I found out that my grandparents were framed and their lives were not as good as before. My uncles had to be very careful every day in their small official positions."

"So, I want to rise up, I want power, I want to save my grandparents, and I want to kill those who want to harm me."

Mi Yao looked at Hou Yuanxuan.

"Do you think you can accomplish anything great with such a fierce attitude?"

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Hou Yuanxuan retracted his breath.

"Go ahead."

Everyone has his or her own path to walk. Once you have chosen it, you must keep going, even if you have to cry or crawl.

"Goodbye." Hou Yuanxuan left.

Fake names were used at the beginning, so the indenture contract had no binding force at all.

Mi Yao looked at Hou Yuanxuan's back as he left, and felt indignant about this society dominated by imperial power. The only thing she could do was to improve herself, make herself stronger, and protect herself when necessary.

Mi Yao called Zhang Bing and Ouyang Hui.

"Master!" The two men clasped their fists.

"Ouyang Hui, get your brothers moving and recruit more forces. Even those without a solid foundation can be trained slowly."

"Yes."

"Zhang Bing, find a farm outside the city that is larger and more hidden. The people you recruit will work and train there in the future."

"It's the master."

Everything has been arranged, and the two children have returned with their meals.

"Mom, can you take us with you when you go out tomorrow?" Zichen looked at his mother who had regained her beautiful appearance.

"Mom has been disguising herself when she goes out these days because she doesn't want others to know my identity. At least now that she is not capable of doing so, she doesn't want to be exposed. And you two are so cute, so handsome, and look exactly the same. If you go out like this, you will definitely be noticed. Wouldn't mom be exposed then?" Mi Yao hugged the two children and explained patiently.

"Then can we go to the villa?" Zi Yu asked.

"If you don't mind being bored, of course you can." Mi Yao left the children at home in the hope that they could interact with more people.

"Don't worry, we can write, grow herbs, and do a lot of other things. When we are tired, we can watch TV." Zichen said, counting on his little fingers.

"Okay, dear baby. Mommy is going to visit an old gentleman tomorrow. You can go to the villa then. The fruits and vegetables in the yard are ripe. You can eat them when you are hungry. There is also food in the kitchen. Don't starve yourself." Mi Mo looked at her two cute sons and loved them very much.

"We understand, mother." The two children went back to the inner room obediently to sleep. Mi Mo saw several gift boxes on the table, which were sent by Zhao Dong and Doctor Huang in the morning.

Zhao Dong's gift was simple and crude, fifty silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels each.

Doctor Huang had two boxes. When he opened one of the boxes, he found a leather scroll inside. Mi Yao became curious. The leather was just ordinary sheepskin, polished smooth, with several complex patterns carved on it. When he opened the scroll, he found that it was actually jade needles, of three types: long, medium and short, with ninety-nine of each type.

"Wow!" Even though Mi Yao had seen countless rare treasures, this was the first time he had seen a jade needle in his past and present lives. For some diseases, the effect of jade needles could be doubled or even several times greater, but good jade was hard to come by, and jade needles were extremely difficult to obtain. This jade needle, as thin as an ox hair, was not easy to polish.

The value of these jade needles is so great that they are in short supply. Mi Yao couldn't let them go and gently felt the slight flow of spiritual energy on each needle.

After playing with them for a while, he opened another box, which contained several exquisite pastries wrapped in oil paper with the Baiweizhai logo on it.

Baiweizhai is the most famous pastry shop in Beijing. There are new products every month, and each pastry is sold in fixed quantities every day, so if you want to buy pastries from Baiweizhai, you have to make reservations in advance.

The reason why Baiweizhai's pastries are so popular is not only because of their wide variety and beautiful designs, but most importantly because of their taste. They are soft and sweet, and the best part is that they use fresh flowers as the filling, which is both delicious and good for the skin.

When ladies in the capital city exchanged gifts with each other or held banquets, they would choose Baiweizhai's cakes as the food to make themselves look respectable.

Mi Yao sat at the table, thinking carefully about what gift to give back to Mr. Huang. It had to be valuable, not ostentatious, and substantial. Mr. Huang was definitely not short of money, so this gift had to be meaningful.

Mi Yao was really worried. Mr. Huang was a doctor, so he should give her something related to medical skills.

After much thought, I took a set of surgical supplies from the basement pharmacy, which contained various surgical instruments.

Then we went to the medicinal field and looked at the wild ginseng. There were more than two acres of ginseng now, and a large area was full of small red fruits.
