Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1700: Chapter 1699: Tongsanlang Must Not Stay

When Tong Sanlang said that, Qiao Xiaomai was genuinely stunned for a moment.

Only cares about her? Even willing to give up the people of Daqi?

She blinked, her nose suddenly feeling sour.

She felt satisfied, truly satisfied. Tong Sanlang had at least put her ahead of the bigger picture. Her place in his heart wasn’t as insignificant as she had thought. Satisfied, very satisfied.

Smiling lightly, she said, “I’m not really going to die. I’m fine. You and Lingsu should leave. Bei Yun won’t do anything to me.”

“How could I dare leave you by the side of such a beast!” Before Tong Sanlang could answer, Bei Lingsu interjected.

“He hasn’t harmed me. His position in the Three Kingdoms is quite high. He protects me, so no one dares do anything to me,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

Bei Yun nodded with a smug smile, agreeing with her words. “When she first arrived in Longshi Country, Prince Fengbao wanted to humiliate her. I was the one who stopped him. Moreover, these past few days, because of how well she cooks, Prince Fengbao started feeling like snatching her away again. I’m the one who put a stop to that too.”

“The Floral Dew Cuisine she makes can suppress the toxins in my body. Because of this, I will make sure nothing happens to her—you can rest assured.”

As Bei Yun spoke, his intention was to reassure Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu, but instead, his words only made both of them even more worried. Especially Tong Sanlang, who had seen with his own eyes how Qiao Xiaomai had thrown Prince Fengbao out when raising her hand that day. Now that Qiao Xiaomai was in Longshi Country, it was entirely plausible that Prince Fengbao might take this opportunity for revenge!

Tong Sanlang reached out with both arms and pulled Qiao Xiaomai tightly into his embrace. “Xiaomai, I’ll stay with you.”

Taking Qiao Xiaomai with him wouldn’t guarantee her safety—if that was so, then he would stay. Wherever she was, he would be there too.

“No, you’re the commander of Daqi—you can’t stay here,” Qiao Xiaomai resisted the urge to hug him back and shook her head, refusing.

She was still waiting for Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu to lead Daqi’s troops to crush Longshi Country and avenge her.

“It’s fine. The Bei family has arrived, and their martial arts skills aren’t far behind Bei Lingsu’s. With Bei Lingsu staying to oversee things, it’ll be enough,” Tong Sanlang said, holding tightly onto Qiao Xiaomai, refusing to let go. His voice was slightly choked.

Ever since they married, Qiao Xiaomai had been inseparable from him. She was always by his side, always within reach. He could turn and see her at any moment. But now she was gone. No matter how he turned or chased after her, he couldn’t find her.

He gained a deeper realization of his past mistakes. He truly hadn’t cherished her enough—he hadn’t kept her close to his heart. She had given him her entire world, but he hadn’t reciprocated.

Yearning to see her but being unable to—it was a kind of excruciating agony he never wanted to feel again.

“I just want to stay with you,” Tong Sanlang whispered softly in her ear, his words brimming with endless love.

Qiao Xiaomai was momentarily shaken by the news his previous sentence revealed. “The Bei family is here?”

“Yes. With them here, you don’t need to worry about Daqi,” Tong Sanlang said gently. “I’ll stay. I’ll stay to protect you.”

“You’ll protect her?” Bei Yun, hearing this, couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. “You’re her weakness. All I need to do is control you to control her. Are you sure you want to stay? No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you wouldn’t be able to fend off my poisons, delivered without a whisper.”

These words hit home for Qiao Xiaomai, and she couldn’t stop herself from pushing Tong Sanlang away. “Leave. Go with Lingsu.”

Bei Yun’s words made sense—if Tong Sanlang stayed, he would only become her Achilles’ heel. Bei Yun could seize him effortlessly. Right now, Bei Yun needed to pay silver for Floral Dew Cuisine and other things. If Tong Sanlang fell into Bei Yun’s trap, Bei Yun could just command her as he pleased, based on that leverage.

Tong Sanlang couldn’t stay.
