Has the artificial cultivation of bezoar been successful?
If sold to the West, it could actually fetch a lot of silver?
Was Niu Gensheng finally granted the title of Marquis of Fuguo because of this?

As the news spread, the capital was in an uproar, and the Tatar royal court was also in an uproar.

When Toto Khan got the news, he could not sit still for a moment. He sent a message to Queen Mother Zhezhe, asking her to find a way to abduct Niu Gensheng to Tatar.

Empress Dowager Zhezhe directly refused.

Even if she successfully abducted Niu Gensheng to Tatar and produced a large amount of artificial bezoar, the route for export to the West was still in the hands of the Tianwu Fu family.

What’s the use of having so much bezoar then?

Wash your face?
Empress Dowager Zhezhe had different ideas.

She went directly to Fu Zhonghai under the pretext of visiting Zhan Yunfu.

“Your Majesty, you also know that I have been reunited with the Marquis of Fuguo for a long time, and I miss him so much every day I haven’t seen him…”

Fu Zhonghai coughed and said: Although you are a bold grassland girl, you don’t have to be so direct.

Lying next to her was Zhan Yunfu, who was in confinement after giving birth.

With my wife by my side, I don’t have to worry about her misunderstanding.

“If Queen Mother Zhezhe has any request, feel free to tell her.”

“As long as I, Tianwu, can do it, I will definitely not refuse.”

If you can’t do it, don’t say anything.

Empress Dowager Zhezhe seemed not to understand Fu Zhonghai’s hint (explicit suggestion). She said seriously: “In order to express our gratitude, I, Tatar, gave Tianwu 5,000 cattle and a large piece of grassland…”

“I heard that the Marquis of Fuguo is going to the pasture to expand the bezoar breeding farm. Can you artificially cultivate some bezoars for me, Tatar, in his spare time?”

Fu Zhonghai didn’t expect Empress Dowager Zhezhe to be so shameless.

I am a Tianwu man, and I have Tianwu’s unique skills. How can you have the nerve to ask him to work for your Tatars?

If it was someone else, he would have rejected it directly, but this person happened to be his own mother-in-law…

Thinking of Niu Shiniang’s heartless laughter, Fu Zhonghai couldn’t say no.

He looked for help at Zhan Yunfu who was lying on the bed next to him.

Madam, please say something!
Zhan Yunfu received the distress signal and could only take over the conversation: “Empress Dowager, does Shi Niang know about what you said today?”

Of course Zhezhe didn’t tell Niu Shiniang.

She smiled calmly, “I haven’t told Shi Niang yet. She is my biological daughter. How can she object to my reunion with her father?”

Zhan Yunfu breathed a sigh of relief: “Shi Niang is your biological daughter, but she is also the female general of Tianwu and the wife of the Duke of Protectorate. Since she doesn’t know yet, how about we ask her opinion first?”

Zhezhe was also unambiguous: “Okay then, can you call her over now?”

Zhan Yunfu nodded and asked someone to invite Niu Shiniang.

Fu Zhonghai was anxious: Niu Shiniang is a straightforward person who never beats the drum when she farts. Didn’t she let Zhezhe run away as soon as she arrived?
If she supports Zhezhe, her biological mother, should I agree or not?

Zhan Yunfu didn’t seem to be in a hurry, and slowly talked to Zhezhe about the customs and culture of the grassland.

Soon, Niu Shiniang came in a hurry.

Her belly was big now, and Zhan Yunfu couldn’t help but remind her when she saw her walking like a charge, “You should slow down.”

“If you can bear walking so hard, you should also think about whether the baby in your belly can bear it.”

Niu Shiniang didn’t feel the grievance of a young daughter-in-law being scolded by her mother-in-law. She grinned and said in a loud voice, “Don’t worry, mother. How can Xiaochun and I’s child be so fragile?”

Zhan Yunfu rolled her eyes at her and stopped talking about that. Instead, she started talking about what Zhezhe had just said.

Zhan Yunfu did not describe the story deliberately, she just stated the facts without expressing her opinion.

After listening to this, Niu Shiniang looked at Zhezhe and said, “Mom, is that so?”

Zhezhe looked at Niu Shiniang with confidence: “That’s what I mean. The Queen and I want to hear your opinion.”

“I wonder what you think about this?”

Just at this time, the nanny brought an armchair to Niu Shiniang.

Niu Shiniang frowned, sat down with her horse and sword in her arms, acted like a person scolding subordinates in the military tent, and tilted her head to look at Zhezhe.

“Mom, this is your fault!”

Everyone’s eyebrows jumped and they looked at Niu Shiniang: Scolding her own mother right off the bat?

What is rhythm?
Niu Shiniang seemed oblivious to the shock of the crowd and continued to speak: “When I was wandering with my father, you were not by my side.”

“You were not with me when my father and I were rescued by the emperor.”

“You weren’t by my side during the years my father raised me.” “Later, when I got married, had children, and married into the Fu family, you didn’t give me any dowry.”

“My family’s life is finally getting better…”

“How dare you come here to take advantage of my in-laws?”

The young wife’s clearly resentful thoughts were expressed by Niu Shiniang in such a loud, frank and calm voice that everyone was stunned.

This makes so much sense!
Zhezhe didn’t expect that his own daughter would have such an attitude.

She felt a deep sense of guilt and grabbed Niu Shiniang’s hand.

“It’s my fault, it’s my fault…”

“Mother didn’t consider your thoughts…”

“Mother just can’t bear to be separated from your father…”

“Hey! That’s it!” Niu Shiniang interrupted Zhezhe’s long speech, “Isn’t it simple?”

“My father is going to the big pasture to make bezoars for the cows. You are not in charge of the political affairs of Tatar now anyway, so just follow my father.”

“Or does my brother disagree with you going?”

Zhezhe: …

“It’s not that I disagree…”

“Isn’t that it? It’s settled then, huh?” Niu Shiniang made the decision decisively.

“This…” Zhezhe opened his mouth with difficulty and looked at the silent Fu Zhonghai and his wife.

But he found that Fu Zhonghai and his wife looked like they were struck by lightning, and their expressions were even more difficult than his own.

When did my stupid daughter-in-law start to have brains?
So clever?

Is this still my daughter-in-law?
Why does it look like the core has been changed?
Fu Zhonghai still couldn’t stand it anymore, so he coughed and took a step back.

“If Tatar also wants to cultivate artificial bezoar, they can also ask Niu Gensheng for help.”

“But the operation process can only be carried out by people from Tianwu.”

“We control the quantity.”

“If the cultivation is successful and the bezoar is taken out and dried, I, Tianwu, can purchase it and will definitely not let the Tatars suffer any loss.”

Anyway, I, Tianwu, have the final say on the price.

Queen Mother Zhezhe also breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen…”

Zhan Yunfu also coughed: “Shi Niang, I’m a little tired and want to rest for a while. You can take your mother back.”

Niu Shiniang stood up quickly: “Okay! Mom, shall we go?”

After watching Niu Shiniang and Zhezhe leave the palace, Zhan Yunfu rolled her eyes at Fu Zhonghai and said, “If Shiniang fails, I wonder how you will end up.”

Fu Zhonghai chuckled: “What are you afraid of? No matter how much artificial bezoars are cultivated, if I, Tianwu, don’t collect them, what can he do with them?”

“If you want to turn so much bezoar into money, you can only do it through me, Tianwu.”

“Zhezhe is not stupid. She knows the importance of our Fu family, so she came to ask us…”

Zhan Yunfu said with a click of the tongue: “You guys are like Sun Wukong once you get tangled with hair! You are so cunning and sly…”

Niu Shiniang, who was sending her mother back home, remained silent all the way.

As they entered the Duke’s Mansion, Niu Shiniang said goodbye as if nothing had happened: “Mom, I’ll leave first if I’m fine. I’m going to sleep for a while.”

Zhezhe grabbed his daughter’s hand, with a look of insight: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling guilty? Are you hiding from your mother?”

Niu Shiniang pursed her lips but did not deny it: “I avoided you because I felt embarrassed. I was afraid that you would say that I looked honest but was cunning in my heart.”

Zhezhe couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “You girl… are really honest!”

“I’m so happy that you can do this!”

Niu Shiniang didn’t believe it: “Really?”

Zhezhe pulled Niu Shiniang to sit next to him and talked about how he led the tribe in the past…

“When mom was young, she also loved to pretend to be straightforward and put on condoms for others…”

“As long as your heart is right, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s an open conspiracy…”

“If you speak out, the other party will not dare to use dirty tricks…” (End of this chapter)
