Chapter 546: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 546: Hidden Malice (5)
Since it turned black, the black lingze had not changed in size, but its color seemed even darker, glistening with an oily sheen as if it might drip oil at any moment.
In contrast, the two ginseng plants had changed significantly. Although the ginseng bodies underground were not visible, their noticeably larger size and vibrant green leaves indicated that they were growing very well.
After watering them with spiritual spring water and pulling out the surrounding medicinal herbs that had grown around them, Mo Yan looked at the golden yellow and spreading green in the space with a bit of a headache.
Previously, she had worried about the chickens becoming a nuisance, but now that they had been moved to the orchard, most of the space was occupied by various medicinal herbs.
Before the medicine garden was established, she collected seeds daily. Once she had enough seeds, she mostly neglected them and focused all her efforts on growing food crops. Although medicinal herb seeds would continue to grow without being picked, their roots and stems would keep growing in the soil. After more than a year, what had started as less than two mu had grown to its current state.

Mo Yan crouched down, resignedly pulling out the medicinal herbs that were almost covering the rice plants, piling them to the side. She planned to take them to Dr. Du when she had time.
She spent a good two to three hours on this task. Standing up, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and rubbing her aching back, she looked at the areas she hadn’t yet cleared and shouted in frustration, “Heaven, grant me a万能小帮手 (万能小帮手 means 'all-purpose assistant')! I will offer you pigs, cows, and sheep during festivals! Ah——ah——ah——”
Unaware that the Jade Heart’s merit bead flashed with ripples on its transparent surface, where a tiny black dot appeared for a moment before vanishing as if it had never existed.
……
In the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the study in the outer courtyard.
Xiao Ruiyuan was frowning as he read a book titled “Mingzhou Mountain Chronicles,” a book introducing the mountains of the continent.
Recently, aside from handling official duties, Xiao Ruiyuan had devoted all his energy to books about mountains, hoping to find potential locations where thousand-year-old ginseng might grow and then send people to search for them.
This approach was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Even if they could determine which famous mountains and rivers might harbor thousand-year-old ginseng, the people sent might not find it.
However, this was the only method available. With Chu Heng’s time running short, Xiao Ruiyuan had less than five months to find the thousand-year-old ginseng. This was all he could do.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
While Xiao Ruiyuan was deep in thought, the study door was knocked. Xiao Shiyi entered, presenting a recently received letter. “Master, there is news from Shiliu.”
Xiao Ruiyuan set aside his book and took the letter. When he read its contents, a grave expression crossed his calm eyes. “Tell Shiliu to keep a close watch and report immediately if there’s any news! Also, send two more people to secretly protect Miss Mo. If anyone dares to harm her, kill them—without mercy!”
At that moment, Xiao Ruiyuan was genuinely enraged. If it weren’t for the fear of disrupting the bigger situation, he would have ordered the death of those who investigated Mo Yan the moment they were sent.
“Yes! I will follow your orders!” Xiao Shiyi responded, suppressing his shock. The master’s command had once again shifted his perception of Miss Mo.
Even without extraordinary beauty or a prestigious background, the fact that the master valued her so highly, even deploying six skilled covert guards for her protection, meant that Miss Mo was indeed exceptional. It seemed that the master had truly fallen for her!
