My Husband Has Changed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 130
Hermann carefully studied Adel’s expression before continuing.
“It did improve somewhat after I explained it was land designated for a medicinal herb greenhouse, but still… to the villagers, deliberately cultivating herbs that grow abundantly in the forest each spring seems a bit…”
Hermann, watching her reaction, ultimately trailed off at the end of his sentence. Adel wordlessly turned her gaze back out the window.
In truth, she had already anticipated this to some extent.
People tended to be generous toward immediate, visible benefits but felt far more acutely the vague sacrifices and expenditures made for the future.
Moreover, the word “greenhouse” likely provoked even stronger resistance—they probably thought securing their next meal was far more urgent.
“I also recognize the need to stockpile more provisions and firewood than usual in preparation for sudden cold snaps like last winter’s.”
“…Perhaps we could make the greenhouse smaller than originally planned?”
“That won’t do.”
Adel stubbornly shook her head. The medicinal herb greenhouse was an essential investment.
Not being able to properly treat frostbite in winter—resulting in lost toes—and the entire village of Bitzleben suffering through bouts of influenza whenever the wind turned even slightly chilly made this all the more critical.
“We can’t rely forever on dried herbs gathered each spring. Besides, only five types of herbs growing near Ansgar have any real medicinal effect. Their prices rise as soon as you cross into the next village. Those simply won’t be enough.”
Hermann almost asked how she knew such details, but held his tongue.
He recalled how the former duchess often examined the estate’s neglected gardens and wild patches of grass.
He hadn’t paid much attention then—even when she gathered plants to dry or brewed them into tea, regardless of the servants’ curious stares… She must have been studying herbs since that time.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
