The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant’s Two-and-a-Half-Year-Old Daughter - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Don’t You Believe Me?

“But I can’t help you with anything. You can’t reclaim such a large piece of barren land all by yourself, Mother.”

Qiong Hua glanced at the barren land in front of her and did not refute Jun Ning’s words.

However…

“Yiyi, I may not necessarily have to do it alone. I can ask some people in The Cold Palace to help. This is not a big issue.”

“I am thinking about something else now.”

Jun Ning’s eyes lit up when she heard the solution. She was so happy that she almost jumped up. It was Qiong Hua’s other concern, which held her back.

“What else is there?”

“We need seeds to grow vegetables!”

That was the most obvious problem to Qiong Hua. These seeds were hard to come by.

If they reclaimed the barren land but did not have the seeds, it would be a huge waste of effort.

Jun Ning was not worried about that at all. She patted her chest and said, “Mother, don’t worry. I know how to get some.”

“Really?” Qiong Hua was skeptical.

“Mother, don’t you believe me?” Jun Ning retorted.

Qiong Hua was stumped.

Did she believe Jun Ning?

In the past, perhaps she had not believed in her.

She knew her child best. She was born with a congenital problem. She was weak and sickly. She did not like to talk, did not like to walk, and her hobby was basking in the sun.

Living with her was not easy.

However, she did not know why, but recently, her child had become particularly lively. She chattered non-stop.

What she did not even dare to think about was the fact that she had dared to sneak out of The Cold Palace to look for food in the imperial kitchen.

She dared to consider the idea and act.

She was a completely different person from before.

Since she was so certain that she could get the seeds, she would likely be able to get them. She seemed certain.

“I believe you.” Qiong Hua nodded gently.

“Then, shall we start to reclaim this barren land today? Does that sound good?” Jun Ning blinked and gazed at Qiong Hua.

“Alright, I will start searching for people who can help. If we can get it done quickly, we can probably plant another batch of vegetables before the beginning of autumn.”

“Then, I will go with you.”

Jun Ning and Qiong Hua went around The Cold Palace and began to look for people who could help reclaim the barren land.

Who said that all the people locked up in The Cold Palace were lunatics?

There were still about four or five people who were not crazy!

However, after spending so much time locked up, their minds had suffered. They lived their lives in a muddled state.

It was rare to see someone like Qiong Hua, who could clean herself up and take care of a child with a normal state of mind.

When Jun Ning and Qiong Hua found people who were sound of mind, they were leaning against the wall and basking in the sun, looking lifeless.

It was no wonder that the people guarding The Cold Palace automatically ignored them.

This dazed and lifeless disposition was really not much different from death.

Qiong Hua looked at them and felt sorry for them. Still, she told them about the vegetable garden she wished to start.

It was obvious that they could understand what Qiong Hua was saying, but they did not say a word and just stared at Jun Ning and Qiong Hua.

Jun Ning understood that mental illness was more difficult to cure than any physical illness.

No matter how much they said, they might not get a response.

It would be better to give them some time to think about it.

She then said, “If you’re willing to help us prepare the barren land for the garden, you’re welcome to join us anytime. Of course, you won’t be helping us for free. When we’re done growing the vegetables, we guarantee that you’ll be able to eat fresh vegetables every day.”
