After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 216 Going to Lord Ye's Manor to Get Some Potatoes

"Words are no proof. It seems you've already planted it, Lord Ye. I wonder where you found it? His Majesty issued this decree a long time ago, and many seafarers and foreign merchants have failed to find it. Yet you, Lord Ye, have managed to plant it? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Some people have already begun to question Ye Yuwu's ulterior motives.

"So this sir told you to read more books but you didn't listen. As everyone knows, I run a bookstore and I love collecting rare books. I've read countless books, and I accept all kinds of books. Naturally, I could see descriptions of potatoes in the books. When I first saw the description of potatoes, I was amazed at how useful they were. Later, I asked someone to find them and that's how I found them."

Now, people's impression of her changed from weak and easily bullied to sharp-tongued and witty.

No wonder the ancients said, never mess with a woman.

But some people just wouldn't believe it and still ran right into her trap.

"I'll say it again, something that can't be found anywhere else in the country? How could Lord Ye find it?"

"Some of you must have read Wuming's serialized storybook, right? I never expected that Wuming would write about 'potatoes' in his storybook."

I was shocked at the time, so I wrote to Wuming to ask him. To my surprise, Wuming replied to me and told me all the information about Tudou.

They even told me where it might be found and what it looked like, so I spent a lot of money to send seafarers to search for it, and they actually found it.

Later, I wrote to Mr. Wuming to express my gratitude, but unexpectedly, Mr. Wuming asked me to grow the potatoes first, and then print and send out his storybook after they were grown.

Ye Yuwu blamed all of this on her other alias, Wuming.

If she didn't do this, she didn't know what reason she could use to shut these people up.

In the minds of this group of people, Wuming is equivalent to a mysterious hermit.

Unless His Majesty the Emperor reveals her identity, these people will have no chance of finding out her true identity.

So for now, let's use the identity of Wuming as a cover.

"Ignorance again?! Who exactly is this Ignorance?" The civil and military officials present, who were completely unaware of the situation, all raised this question.

However, some officials showed expressions of admiration at this moment.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the person they admire!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Yuwu spoke to the civil and military officials in a mysterious tone, saying, "Wuming once said that there is no need for everyone to investigate his identity, because one day his identity will be revealed."

Ye Yuwu silently added in her mind: But not today.

As Ye Yuwu finished speaking, she glanced up at the emperor, looking somewhat guilty.

After all, she said that because these officials didn't know her other identity, and she used that as a shield.

Ye Yuwu could use this excuse to conceal the suspicions of the civil and military officials and dispel their doubts.

However, the emperor saw things differently. After all, he knew her other identity and naturally thought she was lying, so he didn't believe her at all.

If the emperor had doubts about her identity and revealed it on the spot, she would expose her incompatibility with this ancient society, and she would have no idea what kind of butterfly effect it would trigger.

When she looked up, the emperor's figure was hidden in the shadows, and she couldn't immediately discern his expression.

With the emperor remaining silent amidst her anxious state of mind, she finally felt at ease.

It seems the emperor has no intention of exposing her, which makes things easier.

Ye Yuwu was unaware that, apart from the emperor, all the high-ranking officials knew about her other identity. While she was using this other identity to maneuver, they desperately tried to keep themselves from revealing any flaws.

Although they didn't know why she would come up with such a reason, the adults still tacitly played along with her act.

General Liang's act was a bit exaggerated. He kept making exaggerated expressions to show his shock after hearing what Ye Yuwu said, and he would occasionally respond with "Oh!", "Ah!", "Ya!" and so on.

The prime minister and others standing to the side simply couldn't bear to look at him.

But Ye Yuwu was completely unaware of this. On the contrary, with General Liang's cooperation, Ye Yuwu became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, seated on the dragon throne, asked again, "What do these potatoes look like?"

Upon hearing the emperor's words, the civil and military officials below all revealed curious glances.

Ye Yuwu felt relieved; it seemed to have worked.

Those who paid attention could see several eunuchs walking out of the imperial study, hurrying out of the palace, and arriving at a manor.

This estate is the one that Ye Yuwu acquired.

The farmers, who were working hard in the village, suddenly learned that several eunuchs had come from the palace.

Startled, they quickly put down their farm tools and ran to the gate of the manor to welcome the eunuchs inside.

They learned from the eunuchs that their manager was still in the palace, so they sent these imperial eunuchs to the estate to collect potatoes.

Although the farmers were surprised, they quickly led them to the farm's granary to select potatoes themselves.

These eunuchs followed them to the granary.

Upon opening the granary door, they were shocked by the scene inside.

Before these eunuchs entered the palace, they were all born into poor families and often worked in the fields to grow crops when they were young.

They had naturally seen many crops, but the granary in this village had a wide variety of vegetables, many of which they had never seen before.

They never expected that such an ordinary-looking village would contain so many rare and precious vegetables, and they certainly broadened their horizons.

What they could not have imagined was that the potatoes, which were so prized by the civil and military officials, were simply piled up on the ground by them.

What a waste of natural resources!

This sight made them feel heartbroken.

"Can you really just leave these potatoes lying on the ground like this? Do you know how precious these potatoes are? We intend to select a few from them to present to His Majesty!"

Upon hearing the eunuchs' rebuke, the farmers trembled with fear and immediately knelt down to explain, "We are so sorry, gentlemen! We were ignorant! Please forgive us!"

They kowtowed repeatedly to the several eunuchs.

A little boy nearby suddenly spoke up, "Lord Ye said these potatoes aren't that precious and don't need special care! My dad and the others did nothing wrong!"

"Xiao An!" One of the men who was kneeling on the ground immediately shouted to the little boy next to him.

"Please forgive me, adults! The child is just being ignorant."

Seeing that they were about to kowtow again, the eunuchs had no choice but to let them get up.

Seeing that they were finally getting up, one of the eunuchs asked, "Why did this child say that?"

Upon hearing this, the father of the little boy explained.
