“Your eldest daughter’s advice in thatbookwas incredibly useful,” she said. “As per her suggestion, my servants in the farmstead procured a new batch of rice seeds and replanted them. However, the neighboring farmers didn’t listen to her advice. Now there are no problems with my seedlings, they are growing green and strong, but the farmers are in a panic. Their seedlings are falling over, turning yellow, withering and dying. The seedlings cannot be saved!” Changing the seedlings did take some effort, but as it protected the young plants and saved the hope of the year, it was absolutely worth it!

Upon hearing the Lady’s description, Madam Yun’s face first showed surprise, then a broad smile emerged.

She had initially been worried that this problem would cause a mishap and unnecessarily trouble the Lady. She hadn’t thought that Ruoruo could possess such ability.

Looking at the delighted Lady, Madam Yun felt joyful as well.

The Lady continued, “I also heard that many villages around the Government City have suffered loss in their seedlings. They didn’t heed your eldest daughter’s advice to replant seedlings. Now their seedlings are gradually, turning yellow, withering, and falling over. And it’s already mid-Apnl, it’s likely too late to replant.”

The rice varieties planted in the Taizhou prefecture are usually sown and raised early. The seeds are sown before the Qingming Festival, raised for forty days, and the seedlings are then planted by late March.

Now that it’s mid-April, to sow again, and go through another forty-day growing period, where is there time?

Upon hearing this, Madam Yun was shocked. The rice varieties they used this year were procured with the help of her eldest daughter. The seedlings in their field are growing very well and they hadn’t encountered any problems, so she didn’t know such a thing had happened.

Therefore, Madam Yun asked, “Is the situation very serious?”

The Lady said, “For those who didn’t listen, they’ve definitely lost their seedlings. However, some did listen and have cultivated new seedlings in advance. Now when they see the old seedlings having problems, there is still time to replace them.”

Hearing this, Madam Yun immediately recalled the day she went to the Xiu family farmstead. Her daughter’s argument with those farmers was about these matters.

It seems that these farmers who were furious at her daughter are now suffering from seedling loss.

Thinking about this, Madam Yun didn’t feel any sympathy for those farmers. Her daughter had earnestly implored them but they refused to listen, so now it’s their own fault that they’ve suffered seedling loss.

“So your eldest daughter really did me a big favor!” The Lady praised Wei Ruo once again.

Hearing these words made Madam Yun feel extremely joyous. She humbly said, “Ruoruo merely stumbled upon it by chance. It’s her good fortune that she could be of help.”

When Wei Ruo returned from Tianqin Garden, as she was about to head towards Wangmei Garden, she was stopped by Cuiping, whom Madam Yun ordered to wait for Wei Ruo.

Cuiping informed Wei Ruo that the Lady was here and wanted to see her, asking her to go to Cangyun Garden immediately.

Wei Ruo didn’t say anything and followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.

Upon entering the room, she saw the Lady rising to greet her.

“Eldest Miss,” the Lady greeted Wei Ruo with a warm and loving face.

“Greetings, Lady Xu,” Wei Ruo bent slightly in salute.
