After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

"When Shi Qingluo, an agriculture expert, opened her eyes again after dying, she realized she had transmigrated as a farm girl in an ancient era. Her story started when she was sold by her family, and was currently being forcibly taken away. She subdued evil with the greater evil, and violence with greater violence, forcing the troublemakers to cry in defeat and ended up giving in to her. Then, she married off to another village. She became the wife of a scholar, Xiao Hanzheng, who was in a coma and had just been abandoned by his extended family. Qingluo looked at Scholar Xiao’s frail mother, delicate younger sister, and obedient younger brother, and rubbed her chin out of satisfaction. From now on, they were all hers to protect. Since then, she took on the crucial role as the family’s breadwinner, led the family towards prosperity and accidentally became the nation’s wealthiest individual. Xiao Hanzheng woke up to find that his brother, who supposedly died from drowning, was alive and kicking. His sister was still at home. And their mother, who was supposedly eaten by wild beasts when she entered the forest in hopes of earning money to buy medicine, was still alive. More importantly, he even gained a capable wife after waking up. All of his immediate family members loved and relied on her. He looked at her and asked, “If you’re the breadwinner, what should I do?” His wife said, “You just have to look pretty, and earn a position in the government so that you can support me.” Xiao Hanzheng’s frozen heart suddenly came alive. “Sure!” Since then, he has worked hard in his career. He went from being an elementary scholar to a distinguished minister with great influence. He knew that from the moment he woke up, his wife was his savior.

Aren't you ashamed to say that?

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mother Xiao left with a smile after sitting for a while.

Shi Qingluo woke up early today and was feeling sleepy.

She went to wash up and returned to their room to tidy the bed and saw the little crouch at the corner.

She made sure that she wasn't ill-treated.

She walked up to Xiao Hanzheng's bed and asked, "Do you prefer sleeping inside or outside?"

Xiao Hanzheng wasn't surprised by Shi Qingluo's decision.

He chuckled and said, "I thought you would let me sleep on the couch."

Shi Qingluo said exasperatedly, "If you weren't a patient now, I would definitely let you sleep on the couch."

"Thank you." Xiao Hanzheng couldn't figure out whether he should laugh or cry.

Shi Qingluo waved her hand. "You're welcome."

"Why don't you sleep outside?"

Xiao Hanzheng didn't mind. "Okay!"

Thus, Shi Qingluo took off her shoes and crossed over his leg onto the inner side of the bed.

Xiao Hanzheng's bed was about 1.8 metres wide. 

Both of them were thin, so Shi Qingluo's side was very empty.

She covered herself with the blanket and looked at Xiao Hanzheng. "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Xiao Hanzheng felt that she was very daring. "Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you?"

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes. "Come on, with my current bean sprout body and sallow and emaciated appearance, I look so shabby. How could you have the guts to do it?"

Xiao Hanzheng couldn't help but smile. "Seems like it."

How could a girl say that about herself?

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Hanzheng.

She smiled while still deep in thought, "Moreover, with your fragile body that can collapse with a blow of the wind, even if you do, are you sure you can do anything?"

Xiao Hanzheng, who was originally smiling, had his face turned black. 

This woman was so shameless, she had the gut to actually doubt his ability…

He explained, "Before I got sick, my body was very healthy."

Shi Qingluo yawned carelessly. "Even if you return to the past, you can't make any wild movements without my permission. If you dare to molest me, I'll blow your head off."

"I'm going to sleep first. Up to you!" Then, she rolled up the blanket, turned around, and closed her eyes with her back facing Xiao Hanzheng.

Xiao Hanzheng muttered to himself, not only was she courageous, she was also a little tigress.

He sat down and thought about what he should do next.

Previously, his young wife had said that she was earning money to support the family, but he did not take it seriously.

It was not that he looked down on her, but as a man, he should shoulder the responsibility of this family.

Of course, he would not object to his wife making money or anything like that.

Since he had decided to try marriage and become a family, their relationship might become tense if he made a fuss about it.

Hearing the sound of even and calm breathing, the corners of his lips curled up. 

He blew out the oil lamp and lay down.

In his previous life, he had insomnia every day. It was even more difficult to fall asleep at night. 

He had to rely on medicine to sleep for five, six hours.

He had thought that he would be unable to fall asleep if he suddenly had another person by his side.

Who knew that Xiao Hanzheng would wake up again when the sky was already bright. 

He was also surprised.

Shi Qingluo had already woken up and was practicing a set of wellness Taiji.

In Shengyuan's memories, her days at the Taoist temple were still pretty good. 

The old priest did not mistreat them, and they could fill their tummy every day.

However, as the old Taoist priest did not eat meat, they also followed him to eat vegetarian food. 

After not eating meat for many years, Shengyuan's nutrition was out of balance.

When she returned home, she woke up early and slept late. 

She had to do a lot of work every day. 

Not only was the food quality bad, but she also had insufficient food.

This directly led to malnourishment, resulting in her fair skin and usually healthy-weight body, becoming shallow, weak and thin.

In her previous life, she was a great beauty with all the curves that all women aspired to have. 

Shengyuan was 70-80% similar to hers, but now, she really couldn't bear to look at her current appearance.

Fortunately, she didn't have a mirror, so she could only see herself from the reflection in the water. Otherwise, she would cry.

Therefore, she had to quickly take care of her body. 

She had to restore that 70-80% of her perfect figure from her previous life.

As she was thinking, she felt someone staring at her from behind.

She turned around and saw Xiao Hanzheng standing at the door with a walking stick.

Last night, she had given him another round of glucose and nutrients to replenish his energy. 

Most importantly, she had given him several rounds of spring water from her space, so he was able to walk today.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and asked, "What fist-technique are you practising?"

He had never seen such fist-technique before. 

It looked soft, but there was strength hidden in it.

Shi Qingluo replied, "Wellness Taiji. My master taught me.

"When your body is not so weak, I will teach you this fist fighting technique. It can dredge the meridians, balance the yin and yang, and strengthen your body."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded and smiled. "Okay!"

He had seen the old priest that the villagers had mentioned twice.

Seeing that she was as thin as a stick, her body did not look very good. 

It seemed that she was addicted to something and often burnt the midnight oil.

It did not look like she knew how to practice fist techniques to strengthen his body.

Shi Qingluo had already finished practising her fist techniques.

As she wiped the sweat off her forehead, she looked at Xiao Hanzheng and asked, "Do you know tofu?"

Xiao Hanzheng was puzzled. "What is tofu?"

Shi Qingluo smiled. "It's a kind of food."

Shengyuan didn't have memories of any tofu, but she wasn't sure if there was one in this world.

Now that she heard Xiao Hanzheng reply, she knew there wasn't.

The tofu was recorded in the Song dynasty. 

The current Daliang dynasty was similar to the early Tang dynasty.

Even if other places already had it, their county definitely didn't have it.

Shi Qingluo said, "Let's make tofu to eat today."

She once visited a tofu village when she was on a tour.

There, tofu was the main tourist attraction. 

Not only could tourists visit the tofu workshop for free, they could also learn how to make tofu.

She also learned it with her friend.

Before she left, her friend bought some brine and gave her a portion, saying that she could make her own tofu to eat when she went back.

On the way back, she was afraid that the brine would be scattered in her suitcase, so she put it in her space. 

When she went back, she gradually forgot about it.

When she was tidying up her space at the Shi family, she found this brine in a corner. 

The time in the space was so stagnant that it would not expire.

That was why she had asked the Shi family for soybean as her dowry.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at her with a faint smile and asked, "Did your master teach you this as well?"

Shi Qingluo met his black eyes that seemed to be able to see through something, and she looked away without guilt.

Instead, she nodded confidently. "That's right! I also brought some tofu brine from the mountain."

If they spent too much time together, a smart person like Xiao Hanzheng would definitely find out about her secrets.

It seemed that he was suspicious that she did not learn from the Taoist temple.

But what if he was suspicious? She wasn't afraid.

In any case, it was the old Taoist master who taught her to bite the bullet. 

It did not matter who went to investigate. 

The old Taoist master had already passed away, and he even blew up the main hall of the Taoist temple. There was no way to prove it.

"Okay, what should I do? Do you need my help?" Although Xiao Hanzheng was skeptical, he did not expose it.

Since his wife said that she learned it from the old Taoist, if anyone asked about it in the future, she would say she learned it from the old Taoist too.

Anyway, to the villagers, the old Taoist was immortal.

As an immortal, of course, he would know many things that no one had seen before.

Shi Qingluo didn't realize that Xiao Hanzheng had already taken the initiative to help her.

She just felt that this guy was not bad and very sensible.
