“It didn’t snow in time, so I could only watch the scenery.”

“You’ll see it. In Tianshui Town, it snows about every ten to fifteen days. Look at how heavy the clouds are; it should snow soon.”

Qiao Mai opened her eyes, lifted the curtain, and smiled at the snowy landscape outside.

She liked snow. Since arriving in the capital, she could only catch a glimpse when visiting the ski area. She was busy with one thing or another, and only when she returned to Tianshui Town could she truly experience it.

While talking, light snowflakes started falling from the sky. The two girls joyfully extended their hands out the window, catching the snowflakes and laughing happily.

Unfortunately, a few fast carriages rushed from behind, narrowly avoiding hitting the two girls’ arms.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly. The two girls touched their arms inside the carriage, patting their chests in relief.

As Qiao Mai’s carriage was at the back, Jiamei and the others were in the front. Unexpectedly, the fast horses rushed ahead, blocking their way.

The coachman sat on the carriage, looking at several men on horses.

“Your carriage is nice, and the two girls who just stuck their arms out of the window are also good. Leave the carriage and the girls. You can all leave.”

Angered, Jiamei wanted to go out and argue with them, but Ling’er held her back and shook her head.

At that moment, Qiao Mai’s voice echoed.

“I think your heads look good. Could I use them as balls to kick around?” “F*ck, it’s your good fortune to catch my eye.”

“Yeah, it’s your good fortune that this Royal Consort can personally take your heads. It’s a blessing you won’t achieve in your lifetime.”

Before the man could retort, a splash sounded, and his head relocated, blood flowing profusely.

Others were still ogling the carriage when their heads also fell off.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing this, the coachmen turned pale. It’s not that he was too scared; he had seen beheadings in the market before. However, it was rare to see someone cleanly take heads.

Admiration! The mistress was too powerful!

Not wanting to scare Jiamei and Ling’er, Qiao Mai used her mental power to take those people.

“Continue the journey. Reach Tianshui Town before dark.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

The carriage moved on. Jiamei whispered to Ling’er, “Did Aunt take care of them?”

“Yes, these people deserved to die.”

“Robbing whatever they fancy on the official road is a crime for wealth and life. Their deaths were justified.”

“Yes, my mom said a woman must learn to be firm and decisive. Of course, you need to have some skills.”

Jiamei gained a new understanding of her mother-in-law. No wonder the emperor was polite to her; Qiao Mai was genuinely skilled.

As night fell, the snow grew heavier. Jiamei finally saw the northern snow as she wished.

Ling’er also saw the familiar town. “Sister-in-law, look, this is Tianshui Town.”

The two girls, one on each side of the window, quickly arrived at an imposing courtyard.

“Wow, it’s also called Lucky Garden?”

“Mom likes it. She finds the name auspicious.”

The coachman got off the carriage and opened the gate. Steward Xi approached the carriage window, asking cautiously.

“Has the mistress returned?”

“Yes, quickly have someone warm up my room and Ling’er’s room and have the kitchen prepare meals.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

With Yuan Jiaqi’s increasing rank, the rules for Lucky Garden in Tianshui Town also increased. Steward Xi was afraid of any oversight that might bring unnecessary trouble to the mistress.

When Qiao Mai was away, the subordinates rarely went out. In their free time, they either took care of the land or helped the store make money by chopping meat and making sausages.

All the servants in Lucky Garden became busy. Qiao Mai and Ling’er’s courtyards were warmed up.

Qiao Mai left the two girls in the backyard to have their meals and then let them return.

Without the elders, the two girls frolicked around, hand in hand, singing and dancing in the snow. Qiao Mai felt much younger listening to their voices.

Returning to her room, she brewed a pot of hot tea for herself, thinking to take a break.

Three sheep and squirrels leaped in. “Mistress, you’re finally back.” “Have you finished eating the elixirs?”

“It’s almost finished.’

Qiao Mai smiled, replenished their elixirs, and touched their heads.

“You do nothing every day, yet you’ve all gotten so fat?”

“Hehe.”

“The two girls in the house don’t know how to fight. You must protect them, okay?”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Satisfied, the little creatures left. Greeny popped out of the space.

“Mistress, you’re really something. The spiritual beasts from the capital and those here have all advanced. There are changes every year. Having a master like you is great.”

“In the past year, my cultivation has only advanced by two stages. However, my alchemy has advanced by a major stage. It’s still considered an achievement.”

“If you were in the immortal realm and focused on cultivation, you might have met the conditions for ascension by now.”

“No hurry. Cultivation is endless, and meditating daily is not interesting. Living for thousands of years is just like that. The key to a good life is being happy.”

Qiao Mai looked at the flying snow outside. “Actually, I’m content now. I have a husband loyal to me, a son, and a daughter, watching them grow and branch out. I protect them from the side, and that’s a kind of happiness. Even though there are many unsatisfactory things in life, I treat them as seasoning when cooking. That’s life.”

“You’re the first woman I’ve encountered who doesn’t want to cultivate.’

“I’m not in a hurry. It’s not that I don’t want to. Have you finished with the space?”

“How is that possible? The area is so large, and there are animals and plants to care for. I’m not in a hurry either, hehe.”

The mistress and servant, one drinking tea and the other shaking a flower from space spent the night together.

That night, Qiao Mai slept soundly, while Ling’er and Jiamei only fell asleep in the latter half of the night.

Qiao Mai replenished the goods in the store the next morning, had a meal, and went to the store to check and settle the accounts.

The Qian family and the others were waiting for her letters upon learning that she had returned, waiting for her to invite them.

Thinking of Ling’er and Jiamei accompanying her, Qiao Mai sent someone to pass on a message to them, asking them to bring gifts to visit various families.

Ling’er was familiar with their family friends. Visiting the elders as the younger generation was the right thing to do.

This visit made every family shine brightly.

These social matters were also a good practice for them.

Qiao Mai was busy with her affairs. Ling’er picked out many gifts from the family warehouse, wrote down the names of the families on paper, and then distributed the gifts.

She knew that in Qiao Mai’s heart, these were all her good friends. So, the gifts were almost the same for each family. If she missed out on anything, they could be added later when her mother wasn’t busy.

Fortunately, they all lived in the town. After preparing the gifts, Ling’er took Jiamei to visit each family.

They didn’t eat at people’s homes. In one day, they visited all the families.

Everyone knew Ling’er had become a country princess, and Chuan’er would marry a princess. When Ling’er addressed her as her sister-in-law, they understood Jiamei’s identity.

They never expected the two of them to visit personally. They were excited and wanted to kneel to give thanks.

Seeing that Jiamei didn’t show any princess demeanor, they were all happy Chuan’er had found such a good wife.

After visiting each family, the two sisters-in-law would come out to take a walk daily. Ling’er took Jiamei to visit the greenhouse, revisited the playground from her childhood, and saw the same little sheep and various small animals they had in the capital.

It was just that Lucky Garden in the capital was a bit more comfortable than here. But being able to see the flying white snow was worth the trip..
