Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1392: Extra Episode Twenty-One: About Having a Second Child

In the years after giving birth to a daughter, Mo Yan, apart from taking care of her father and daughter’s daily life, did not forget the "great cause" of accumulating good deeds and virtues. When Wanwan was two years old and the time was ripe, Mo Yan submitted the well-prepared plans for founding schools across various locations to Chu Heng’s hands.

Over these years, Chu Heng may not have gained praise for his literary talents, but he enjoyed a very high reputation in the Scholar’s Forest, revered by the world as the "Virtuous Crown Prince." All this was due to the tremendous success of the support program for students from humble backgrounds.

Mo Yan’s meticulously prepared plan was highly valued by Chu Heng. After much deliberation, he submitted the plan in confidence to Emperor Huian.

Emperor Huian was an exceptional and enlightened sovereign, rare and open-minded, yet suspicion was a common affliction of every Emperor. He had great trust in his own Crown Prince and had long been prepared to hand over the reign of Great Chu to him, but probably no emperor would wish to have his reputation among the people completely eclipsed by his son while still reigning.

If this education initiative were to be successfully implemented, the resulting reputation would not be inferior to the previous support program, and might even far surpass it.

Chu Heng, who deeply understood the ways of imperial father-son relations, did not wish to strain the relationship by achieving a legacy that could shine through history. Therefore, he decided to offer up the plan both to curry favor for Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan as a couple, and to avoid any potential conflict with Emperor Huian.

Emperor Huian was overjoyed to receive the plan, well aware of Chu Heng’s concerns, yet he still instructed Chu Heng to personally execute it during implementation. Clearly, Emperor Huian was satisfied with this achievement, and despite being the future Emperor, having one more accomplishment meant one more guarantee for Chu Heng. He was not so shameless as to take away all the merits from his son.

With the previous support plan as a foundation, the education initiative proceeded very smoothly, encountering almost no obstacles. With Chu Heng’s strict governance, no one dared to interfere. Everything was developing in a positive direction, with the reputation of Emperor Huian and Chu Heng among the people greater than before, eventually leading to them being posthumously known as the "Two Virtuous Emperors."

As for Mo Yan, who devised the plan, Emperor Huian originally wanted to reward her, but she already held the title of a County Lord, which was the highest title for women other than Imperial princesses and concubines. Hence, further promotion was not possible. Emperor Huian decisively issued an Imperial Edict, conferring the title of County Lord upon the chubby girl and another meaningful title—Fengyan.

Kneeling to receive the decree, when Mo Yan heard the title, she truly wanted to stand up, pick up her chubby daughter, and reject the Imperial Edict, but she did not have the audacity to do so. Once again, she entertained the thought of putting her chubby daughter on a diet.

The title "Fengyan" meant plump and beautiful. Though it carried a beautiful wish, well, Mo Yan did not want her chubby daughter to grow into a figure like Yang Guifei, which would be a tragedy!

Once the Imperial Edict was issued, there was no possibility of altering it. From then on, the chubby girl also became a person of status. Fortunately, since "Fengyan" was bestowed by the sovereign of a nation, regardless of any deeper implications, no one dared to mock the chubby girl with it—it would be seeking death!

It seemed Mo Yan reaped no direct benefits, but as the education initiative advanced, she again invested a large amount of silver into it, and her Merit Pearl’s tally rapidly climbed.

As long as this plan continued, merits would keep accumulating for Mo Yan endlessly. In short, she had gained a great advantage from this endeavor, but it was unlikely that anyone else would know!

"Yanyan, if we continue like this, perhaps the next upgrade of Space will come sooner than we anticipated," exclaimed Xuetuan, dancing with joy as he observed the Merit Pearl covered in red patterns.

Mo Yan, holding Xuetuan, spoke in a trance, "I really hope it can happen sooner, so I can return to the modern world earlier."

Having arrived in this era seven or eight years ago, she had become increasingly accustomed to life here, with everything from the modern world seeming like a distant dream. But she was very clear that it was not a dream—her relatives who had raised her for more than twenty years were still there.

Despite originally belonging to this era, those twenty-five years in the modern world were not imaginary. She would still miss her loved ones who cherished her, wanting to know if they were doing well, and also wanting to tell them that she was fine here, so they wouldn’t be sad...

"Yanyan, we will be able to return, for sure," Xuetuan, the only one who knew Mo Yan’s innermost thoughts, reached out his little short hand to comfort her, his voice uncharacteristically solemn.

Mo Yan smiled faintly, poking Xuetuan’s still soft belly as she said, "Now you have hands, feet, and facial features; I’m really curious to see what changes you would undergo if Space were upgraded to the Ninth Level."freewebnøvel.com
