Chapter 966: Chapter 966 She Can’t Wait Anymore!_1 Chapter 966: Chapter 966 She Can’t Wait Anymore!_1 Tong Sanlang chewed on the plain congee in his mouth, grunted vaguely, and after swallowing, he said, “I’m almost certain of it, just relying on the strength of my body, it’s impossible to break the seal of the space.”

With her own words receiving Tong Sanlang’s agreement, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but begin to speculate further, “So do you think, our spending silver to repair the roads, making it convenient for the common people to travel, does that count as doing a good deed?”

“Compared to heating beds, our road construction is unpaid, with not a single cent of benefit to be gained, so that should also count as doing a good deed, right?”

Tong Sanlang grunted, “Ninety-nine percent sure.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai suddenly burst into laughter, “Thinking about it from this perspective, I feel much more relieved all of a sudden.”

Tens of billions in taels silver might not be enough to faint from fright, but it was indeed a huge burden.

Because she had let her impulsive actions burden herself and the Tong Family with such a heavy debt, even though Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu hadn’t shown any sign of blaming her, she had long regretted it so much she wished she could travel back in time to slap herself a few times.

But now.

Things had taken a turn.

Repairing roads equals doing good deeds, and doing good deeds means the space would transform in a positive direction.

Initially quite resistant to the idea of road repair, she now couldn’t wait to start!!!

Forget the official roads of Daqi, she even wanted to repair the dirt roads in the countryside!

She was willing to spend the rest of her life doing good deeds!

“The timing we’ve chosen couldn’t be better, if Yang Wenxiao hadn’t spoken up, we wouldn’t have been able to do any good deeds even if we wanted to. Now with Yang Wenxiao’s agreement as the reason, we can publicly do good deeds.”

Activities like road repair could really improve the common people’s favorability and easily garner prestige among them.

But obviously, such prestige could only be acquired by the Royal family, otherwise, it would lead to suspicion.

Especially with the Tong Family’s sensitive status, already bearing the intention of rebellion, if they were to win over the hearts of the people, even with Liuli’s slight consideration, Yang Wenxiao would most likely move against the Tong Family.

And even if Yang Wenxiao didn’t act, Emperor Yongan would.

But now Yang Wenxiao has drawn up an agreement, forcing her to sign it—Aima, what a perfectly legitimate reason!

Now she could brazenly do good deeds and repair roads!

“I can’t wait to start repairing the roads in Huai’an County tomorrow,” Qiao Xiaomai said, barely able to control the smile on her face, her peach blossom eyes crinkling into crescents.

Tong Sanlang saw this and smiled, saying, “In front of the retired emperor, make sure not to show anything out of the ordinary.”

“Of course, rest assured, from now on every time the agreement is mentioned, I’ll put on a look as if my scumbag dad has died, life is like a play, all dependent on acting skills!”

Remembering Qiao Xiaomai’s earlier experience of being scared into crying and fainting, the smile on Tong Sanlang’s handsome face deepened, “Your acting skills are very good.”

On hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai’s face revealed a proud expression, “Eat up, and after you’re done, I’ll have Dad go tinker with the bicycle.”

With such benefits at hand, she was now eager to make money and to do good deeds.

“Forget it, keep me company, I want to take a look at those explosives and firearms,” Tong Sanlang swallowed the congee in his mouth and his dark eyes filled with longing.

The information stream in Liuli’s letter was just too much, too much!

He had so much he wanted to say in his heart, so many curiosities he wanted to ask about, and here Qiao Xiaomai was about to leave him behind to study bicycles.

Leaving him alone on the heated brick bed was torture!

The excruciating kind of torture!
