“I don't think it'll be so bad. Even if we've offended the princess, she's not Jiaqi's superior or an official. She couldn't harm others. This matter will have to go through the Emperor. It depends on what our Emperor decides to do.”

Old Mistress Wang wiped away a tear, “If something happens to them, I won't go anywhere. I'll stay home to take care of this family and the children.”

“Why are you crying? The situation isn't clear yet.”

“It's probably going to end badly.”

“Let's talk about it when the time comes.”

As the elderly couple worried, Yuan Jiaqi arranged everything for Chuan'er. With his sharp, wise eyes, Chuan'er looked mature beyond his years.

“Father, have you finally made it out? Will Mother allow you to sleep in her room?”

Yuan Jiaqi patted Chuan'er's little head and said, “You'll sleep with your brother tonight, but don't sleep like a log. Keep your senses sharp.”

“I understand, Father. You don't need to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. ”

Yuan Jiaqi, face red with embarrassment, carried his luggage and went to the backyard. Meanwhile, Qiao Mai was in the small kitchen, busy preparing a meal.

He placed his luggage on Qiao Mai's bed, tidying it up as he contemplated the evening, unable to contain his excitement.

In the courtyard were four dishes and a pot of wine, all of Yuan Jiaqi's favorite dishes.

Yue Hong and Yue Xia took Ling'er and went to Old Mistress Wang's place to create a conducive atmosphere for the two.

Qiao Mai served him a portion of the dish. “Come, it's quite late, and you must be hungry.”

“A bit, yes.”

His anxiety was evident in his slightly stuttering speech.

“No need to be nervous. You need some time to adjust. We won't do anything tonight; we'll wait until you've adapted before engaging in the marital ceremony.”

Her straightforwardness surprised Yuan Jiaqi. He was, after all, a man from ancient times, and such directness caught him off guard.

“anything you say, wife.”

“Well, I'll drink to your courage today, defying the royal authority for me.” The couple exchanged cups, and Yuan Jiaqi soon felt a little lightheaded.

“Wife, I don't intend to defy the imperial authority. It's just that I can't stand that princess. She has no shame. She's a young woman; she could have found an unmarried young man. Instead, she's set her sights on a married man with a child. Do you think her conduct is improper?”

“If she were to change her ways, it might be tolerable.”

“The problem is that she wants to separate us. I've endured a lot all because she's a princess. I haven't spoken out against her to avoid trouble.”

With the aid of alcohol, Yuan Jiaqi poured out his heart, much like a child who had been wronged and returned home to confide in his family.

“You spoke out against the princess because you couldn't stand her?”

“It's not just that. I love you, and I can't imagine a life without you. No one should come between us or tarnish your reputation. In my heart, you are like a heavenly fairy. ”

Qiao Mai watched him with a dreamy look in his eyes, knowing he had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol and was speaking drunkenly.

“What if they threaten you with Chuan'er?”

“Chuan'er has also received your kindness. My son and I are willing to repay it with our lives. Please, wife, don't abandon the two of us.

“If you hadn't scolded her, I wouldn't have said those things today. Some matters need to be handled with more tact.”

“She told me to divorce you. I can't be subtle when she's so brazen. I, Yuan Jiaqi, am an upright man.”

“Come on, I'll help you back to bed. You've had quite a bit to drink.”

Yuan Jiaqi wobbled as he stood up, and after a few unsteady steps, he plopped down. His face was flushed.

“Wife, I'm a bit nervous. I drank quite a bit of wine to bolster my courage. I'm sorry.”

Once on the brick bed, he flopped down and fell fast asleep.

Qiao Mai shook her head helplessly. He spoke as if she were a wild beast and needed alcohol to bolster his courage.

She undressed him, took off his shoes and outer clothing, and guided him inside.

From the doorway, she observed Yue Hong and Yue Xia tidying up the table while Ling'er played on the floor. She gave them some instructions and then closed the door behind her.

While they were drinking, she had already considered that violence couldn't be the solution to quell this matter. She wasn't afraid of it, but life wouldn't be peaceful after that.

To maintain peace and harmony, she needed to use something from the world of immortals – elixirs.

In her collection of elixir recipes, there was a third-grade elixir called “Forget

Dust Elixir,” which was different from the “Forget Love Elixir.”

The latter would make you forget your emotions, while the “Forget Dust Elixir” would erase a segment of one's memory. For cultivators, taking it would make them forget the past year. For regular people, it would erase memories from two to three years ago. The higher the grade of the elixir, the more memories it could erase, and the longer the duration.

To regain those memories would require several years. Even if she woke up and remembered everything, so much time would have passed. Who would believe her words?

She decided to let the princess taste the effects of this elixir, which would be a bargain for her.

After glancing at Yuan Jiaqi, she blinked and entered her space.

Qiao Mai had the recipe but no elixir, so she needed to refine a batch. This was a bit time-sensitive, so she sat by her computer and searched on the platform.

Using her barter ability, she exchanged twenty third-grade elixirs for twenty “Forget Dust Elixirs” and paid a nominal handling fee.

She put the vials in her pocket, checked the time, and found it was still early. She walked out of her room.

Greeny had taken care of her domain quite well, naming it “Wheat Residence.” It had turned the surrounding shelves into antique-looking curio cabinets, with modern items on display, along with some elixirs Qiao Mai had refined and various items she had obtained on the platform.

“Greeny?”

“Master, I'm here,” Greeny appeared in a flash.

“What are you up to?”

“Farming.”

“Are you tired?”

“Master, I'm not tired. I'm a spirit of the space, so I don't need to do things like regular farmers. I plant and harvest with my thoughts.”

Qiao Mai closed her eyes and checked her space. “It's Level Seven now?”

“Yes. There are currently three hundred million acres of land.”

“Almost catching up to Earth where I lived my previous life?”

Greeny pursed her lips in disdain. “I couldn't speak before, but I knew everything. The place you lived was the smallest star in the galaxy. You don't know that in the vastness of the universe, there are stars ten, twenty times, even a hundred times bigger than Earth.”

“Wow, too bad I'm not an astronaut. I can only listen to you talk about it.”

“You should focus on your cultivation. If you have the chance, you can tear through the void and explore the outside world.”

“Let's talk about it later. I don't have such high aspirations. All I want is a peaceful and happy life.”

Qiao Mai reached into the void and pulled out a large strawberry, which she held while eating.

“Mmm, the fruit from my space tastes much better than outside.”

“Of course, it's enriched with spiritual energy, big in size, sweet in taste, and good for your body. Master, you are now a cultivator, so you should avoid eating too many external things with impurities.”

“But there's a human world outside with flavors I like.'

Qiao Mai chatted with Greeny in her space for a while before changing into her night robes.

Yuan Jiaqi was sleeping soundly, still snoring gently. The surroundings were quiet. Earlier, she had placed a trace of her consciousness on the princess. Following this thread of consciousness, she traveled fifty miles to the south to find her and her attendants.

Qiao Mai pressed their sleeping acupoints and unceremoniously placed a “Forget Dust Elixir” into each of their mouths.

She couldn't let just the princess take it; they had to consume it together. Sixteen elixirs were wasted: twelve guards, two maids, and one servant, in addition to the princess.

All of this couldn't be bought with money. Qiao Mai felt heartbroken, so she pinched the princess's cheek.

She was even of noble blood, but her skin was so rough. The ancient skincare techniques were simply insufficient.

Even if she had natural smooth skin, it had been overshadowed by their backward practices..
