Chapter 907 The Scholar Who Abandoned His Husband and Children 17
She searched through the older records and found a family surnamed Jiang. The parents had passed away, leaving behind only a daughter named Jiang Yue. She had been married for only a year when her husband died, and she never remarried. She died of illness half a month ago, which meant that her household registration was cancelled.
Xiao Yun took an old-fashioned piece of paper, copied all the names on this page onto it, and then added "Jiang Zhi" after Jiang Yue's name, along with information about her own servitude.
Then he used his divine sense to alter the records of the brokerage firm, creating a death pact for Jiang Zhi so that she could follow him from now on.
It's still uncertain whether the two servants from the original owner's family are reliable. After all, the original owner hasn't seen them since becoming a soul. If they were killed, they would still be considered loyal servants.
But if she betrays her and joins another clan, or takes advantage of her husband's imprisonment to retrieve the indenture and runs away, then she is untrustworthy and definitely cannot stay by my side.
I was originally planning to go to the capital to meet the Third Princess, but I'll have to put that aside for now. I'll practice my skills first, otherwise I won't be able to get over the inner city wall, which is closed at night.
Her divine sense could certainly probe there, but she couldn't possibly take the Third Princess into her spatial storage as well. She didn't know what the system was like, and if it had any self-destruct function or defensive measures, the system would be kicked out by the rules if the commotion was too great.
So I went straight back to the rented courtyard to sleep. It was a tiring day, so I needed to get some rest.
It could be called a rest, but in reality, he couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he used his spiritual sense to explore his surroundings and see what kind of excitement was happening.
Except for a few couples who stayed up late exercising, most people were asleep.
Just as I was about to withdraw my divine sense, I unexpectedly heard a couple who had just finished exercising and still had the energy to chat about things in the palace.
It turned out that the man's brother worked in the household of the Vice Minister of Works. When he returned home, he told his family that the Crown Princess and the Third Princess seemed to have suddenly discovered a sequel to the Exploration of the Works of Nature, and had learned a lot of new and beneficial things for the country and its people.
The Crown Princess presented several prescriptions and wanted to build factories, establish schools in various places, and even set up a shipyard in a coastal prefecture to build ships for sea voyages.
However, the imperial court simply couldn't come up with that much money, so they could only produce something called cement. Of course, this was still in the experimental stage. They had only laid it on one area to confirm that it was indeed hard and even impervious to swords and spears.
This large-scale installation is just beginning, and we'll have to wait and see how it goes.
The Third Princess was even competing with the Crown Princess. When the Crown Princess brought out cement, she brought out the method for refining refined salt. When the Crown Princess brought out the recipe for making soap, she brought out the method for making a loom.
When the Crown Princess suggested going to a western country to find two high-yield, superior varieties of seeds, the Third Princess actually produced them, saying that she had bought them from a traveling merchant from the west that summer…
Basically, it's a game of give and take. The Queen is overjoyed, praising this person and that person every day. She's playing a great game of balancing things.
Xiao Yun knew that the Third Princess must have come from the system. Although Fengming Kingdom was not closed off from the world, its current level of navigation was limited, and it did not have the ability to cross oceans. Therefore, no foreign ships had ever come to the coastline, so how could there be any Western merchants?
As for how the female lead managed to obtain it, it wasn't from elsewhere. Someone happened to find it in the mountains to the west and reported it to her. All of this is related to her protagonist aura.
Now that the body the female lead was meant to inhabit is gone, she most likely won't appear in the palace again unless she transmigrates into one of their bodies. Otherwise, it's unlikely that anyone can replicate the female lead's path to success, even with a system. After all, they are still natives, and some things are deeply ingrained. The female lead, on the other hand, had her soul directly replaced.
Two days after renting the courtyard, she explored the surrounding area thoroughly and also had Jiang Zhi greet the neighbors. Since everyone was renting, there was no need to become too familiar with them.
On the afternoon of the third day, Li Gui left the capital with the newly picked-up guests. Before leaving, she came over to say goodbye. Xiao Yun also asked Jiang Zhi to get her some dried meat and pickles to take with her. She could buy fresh food along the way, and these would be enough to last her the whole trip.
