Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 404: Why Are You Looking At Me?

Translator: Henyee Translations , Editor: Henyee Translations

How was he not worthy! That girl had been raised in the countryside since she was young, and she was not a proper noblewoman! To put it bluntly, she was just a peasant girl wearing the coat of the legitimate daughter of the General’s Residence. When she was at the border, she did not even have a maidservant to serve her. She farmed and cooked all day like a servant. Although he looked down on Eldest Brother, that hypocrite, he was still his blood relative after all.

How was he not worthy?

However, Chernan only dared to think about these things in his heart. Although Rong Yan could not wear the Azure Frost Sword in the royal court, he still instinctively glanced at Rong Yan’s waist.

Rong Yan’s gaze was like a knife that lingered on his neck. Chernan suspected that Rong Yan was thinking about how to cut him so that he could die faster. He had hidden the fact that he knew Xiao Ning’s identity along the way and even specially came to propose marriage for Chercha. How could he give up so easily after being frightened? Moreover, he felt that with Chercha’s status, it would be considered as her marrying above her status.

It was obvious that there were other officials in the court who had the same thoughts as him. However, they did not dare to speak when they felt the low pressure on Xiao Ran.

Chernan was a piece of meat. He looked at the expressions of the old men in the court and gradually raised his chin. “I came to negotiate peace with sincerity. I hope that the Emperor of Great Xia can consider our proposal for the sake of the world and the people.”

“Otherwise, can I think that Great Xia doesn’t take Xiongnu, seriously?” Rong Yan was about to speak when he was stopped. Seeing that it was Cabinet Elder Gu, he suppressed his anger and cupped his hands.

Cabinet Elder Gu was a famous scholar in Great Xia. More importantly, he was Xiaoxiao’s biological grandfather.

Although Rong Yan didn’t have much interaction with Cabinet Elder Gu in the past, he had heard a lot about his character. He hated evil, wasn’t afraid of power, and was protective of his own.

Cabinet Elder Gu was dressed scholarly. He stood tall and straight, and his eyes were firm. He first cupped his hands at Chernan politely. “Great Xia is a state of etiquette, so we naturally don’t take anyone lightly.

Chi Ernan became smug. He continued, “Besides, Xiongnu is just a small country. It’s difficult to not take such a small place lightly.”

Chernan was speechless.

Cabinet Elder Gu was neither servile nor overbearing. “You’ve repeatedly emphasized that you’re showing your sincerity by making her the queen. Hehe, I only see your arrogance and rudeness!”

“Even if it’s an ordinary marriage proposal, it has to be arranged by the parents. After both parties agree, they can officially marry each other with three letters and six rituals. It’s fine if the person who asked for marriage didn’t show up, but how can he have the cheek to show sincerity when he doesn’t have any letters or tokens for marriage?”

“Besides, have you asked the other party’s parents if you want to marry her?” Xiao Ning’s biological mother, Xiao Ran, crossed her arms and sneered. From the looks of it, she could slap Chernan if he dared to speak.

Chernan:… He wouldn’t dare.

Cabinet Elder Gu said in a low voice, “In my opinion, you don’t look like you’re asking for a marriage proposal. You’re forcing a marriage!”

“Hence, I want to ask you. Did Xiongnu think too highly of yourself or did you think that there was no one in Great Xia and you could try to forcefully marry the general’s daughter in front of so many people?”

At this point, the atmosphere was in place. The other ministers would be embarrassed if they didn’t share a common enemy. Hence, Chernan bore the anger of the entire royal court alone. During this period, Xiao Ran cast a dissatisfied and threatening gaze at the Emperor.

The Emperor:…

Chernan finally felt the eloquence of Great Xia’s imperial censor. After a long while, he could only say, “Is there a need? I’m not asking to marry a princess.” Rong Yan was surprisingly calm at this moment. He looked at the old officials who could not help but look like he agreed with half of the court and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

“Your Majesty, I have something to report.”

With the Emperor’s approval, he said, “I want to seek credit for one person.” “She worked hard to go to the border and did not care about her status. She did everything himself and thought of ways to let the soldiers of Great Xia eat their fill. She also developed convenient and delicious dry rations that were conducive to preservation. Among them were compressed biscuits that were extremely satiating and easy to carry, fast and convenient noodles, and self-heating rice. These foods played a huge role in the battle at the border, allowing the soldiers not to be exhausted from Xiongnu’s harassment from time to time.”

“She cultivated melons and fruits in the desert of the border city, which was publicly recognized as the most impossible to grow food. She did not seek personal benefits or returns. She focused on benefiting the people and gave all her planting insights and seeds to the people for free. She did not even leave her name.”

At this point, everyone could basically tell who he was talking about, but some people were still indifferent and felt that this was a small matter that had nothing to do with them.

Rong Yan was already prepared. He took out the trump card he had prepared from his sleeve.

“There’S another thing that will be a decisive help in this battle. It’s inconvenient to explain in the letter. Father, please feel it yourself.”

“This thing is called Clairvoyant.”

Chernan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew about this, but… could it be related to the Xiao Family’s daughter?

Rong Yan presented the Clairvoyant. “She obtained this after studying ancient books day and night and making modifications.”

The Emperor took the item and didn’t know how to use it, so Xiao Ran went forward to adjust it for him. However, he didn’t know if it was an accident, but the eyepiece kept hitting his face.

When the Clairvoyant was aimed out of the hall by Xiao Ran, Rong Yan also said, “This thing is like its name. It can help people see the scenery in the distance clearly. Although it cannot see a thousand meters away, it can hide the hidden dangers and thieves.”

“This Clairvoyant contributed greatly to the battle against Xiongnu. With its ability, the soldiers of Great Xia turned danger into safety many times. We discovered a total of 38 ambushes, captured 298 Xiongnu spies, and killed more than 3,900 sneak attackers. On the way to negotiate with Xiongnu, we discovered the sudden Southern Barbarian army!”

This news was more shocking than before, especially the last sentence about the Southern Barbarian.

just think about it, if Great Xia negotiated with Xiongnu and their defenses were relaxed, the consequences of the border city being attacked by the Southern Barbarians were unimaginable. Thinking deeper, why did the Southern Barbarians appear at the right time? What would Xiongnu do if they unknowingly sneaked into the border city? Could this peace talk continue? Although the Emperor had seen this in the battle report, he was still shocked when he heard it now. He glanced at the flustered Chernan unhappily and asked Rong Yan, “What happened to the Southern Barbarian Army?

Rong Yan said, “Fortunately, Clairvoyant made a contribution in time. We beat them at their own game and caught the Southern Barbarian army off guard. The Southern Barbarians have evil intentions, so I ordered that anyone who violates the prestige of Great Xia will be killed without mercy!”

The entire court trembled because of this sentence. Chernan trembled. If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you looking at me?!

The Emperor put down the Clairvoyant.. “Good! Well said! This is the good son of Great Xia!”
