Chapter 1428: Indecent Position
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
The timing for planting potatoes, let alone watermelons and cantaloupes, had not yet arrived.
Potatoes and watermelons typically went into the ground toward the end of March, while cantaloupes were a bit earlier. Combining them within the same planting period was also an option.
The present time was ideal for thorough land excavation and deep plowing.
When the watermelons and cantaloupes ripened, Songshi would take charge of selling them. If circumstances turned challenging, he could always turn to Zhao Shu for assistance. Even if Zhao Shu wasnât in the capital, there would be individuals present to manage such matters.

Qiao Xuan meticulously conveyed all these instructions to Songshi, who would put them into action as soon as the weather improved. Of all the crops, potatoes held a special importance, and Qiao Xuan had emphasized this.
Simultaneously, she prepared a batch of potatoes to be given as seeds, along with other varieties, for Princess Shuangfu.
As Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan returned to the farm, Liu Yan, who had been mingling with the villagers nearby, hurried back and greeted them with a smile.
By that time, the two had already inspected the farm and were in the middle of a discussion with Songshi. Both Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were displeased with Liu Yanâs abrupt appearance.
Songshi offered a wry smile of helplessness. The Old Master and Madam had merely instructed them to keep an eye on Liu Yan, assuring that she wouldnât remain at the estate for an extended period. How they intended to handle her, he didnât know. Liu Yan wasnât one to easily obey orders; it almost seemed as if Madam had deliberately set her on a path to antagonize him.
Songshi simply couldnât be bothered with her. Finding her work to do was out of the question. She could roam as she pleased.
He simply reminded her: She could visit the nearby manor for socializing, but she must not divulge anything about the masterâs family. The Old Master and Madam preferred to maintain a low profile, and revealing such information would undoubtedly vex them.
Liu Yan attempted to argue with him, asserting, âOf course I know. Iâve been a part of the Qiao Family for so many years. How could I not understand Madamâs character?â
Songshi was left speechless.

His reminder had been effective. Liu Yan had initially intended to boast about her Old Master and Madamâs influence, her own competence, and her role as Madamâs trusted aide. Now, she only dared to tout her abilities and steer clear of any sensitive topics.
At that moment, Liu Yan entered and greeted them with a smiling bow. âOld Master, Madam, when did you arrive? I had no idea. Please pardon my oversight, Old Master and Madam! Had I known, I would have been ready to serve you! Thereâs no one else in this manor who can tend to your needs. You must have had a challenging time!â
In her speech, she even shot a sly glance at Songshi, as if he were up to some mischief. By withholding information about the Old Master and Madamâs visit, he seemed bent on tarnishing her reputation in Madamâs eyes.
Qiao Xuan frowned, bewildered by how Liu Yan, who had appeared so meek on her previous visit, now spoke so confidently. Did she assume she would be kept around to serve her and that she was an indispensable figure by her side?
Had she forgotten that she had been sent to monitor her by Qiao Wei in the first place, and she had initially intended to do whatever Qiao Wei instructed?
Where did she find the audacity to believe she held any significant status?
If such an individual remained in her service, it was only a matter of time before trouble arose. Qiao Xuan cast a cold, expressionless gaze at her and curtly snapped, âLeave! Who granted you permission to enter in such a manner?â
