Chapter 350 The Cat Demon who repays the wrong favor helps the female supporting role ascend the thr

Su Lan took a sip of her tea and said slowly, "Your Highness, the person I recommend is the Minister of Works, Lord Feng Yan. I'm sure you still remember him. Lord Feng's family has been deeply influenced by loyalty to the emperor for generations, and he is a staunch member of the Royalist Party."

"But Lord Feng greatly admires those who are truly talented. Recently, floods have wreaked havoc in the southern region, and the people are suffering terribly. Lord Feng is deeply worried and troubled by this flood..."

Su Lan paused briefly, observing Nalan Rongruo's expression. Seeing her absorbed in listening, she continued, "However, I have divined the location and name of the person who can successfully resolve this flood crisis. Your Highness, you might consider recommending this person to Lord Feng. Not only will it resolve your immediate needs, but you'll also be able to win over Lord Feng to your side."

After saying that, she handed over the name and address that had already been written on it.

Nalan Rongruo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded, agreeing with Su Lan's proposal. He took the note from Su Lan, looked intently at the contents, and then carefully folded it.

Then, she turned and went out, instructing the maid Lu Wei who had been waiting there, "Lu Wei, quickly go and find the person as written on this note. You must be quick! When you find them, please treat them with courtesy and do not be disrespectful."

Lu Wei responded respectfully, took the note with both hands, and left quickly.

And the person who needs to be found is Wen Zhong.

He is an old farmer from the southern region. Due to the frequent floods, his family's fields have poor harvests and their life is quite difficult.

Wenbo has been working diligently on this land since he was young, relying on farming for a living. His daily companionship with nature has not only accumulated rich agricultural experience, but also, through continuous learning and exploration, mastered a unique skill: astrology.

With this skill, he can more accurately determine the appropriate time to plant crops, thereby maximizing crop yields.

However, despite his remarkable abilities, Wenbo was helpless in the face of the raging and relentless flood. The flooded fields were no longer suitable for growing crops, which worried the hardworking and simple Wenbo.

To this end, he pondered day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep to study how to effectively resist flood disasters and protect his own and other villagers' farmland. After countless days and nights of hard work, he finally came up with a brilliant idea - dredging.

Unfortunately, despite his brilliant plan, Wenbo lacked support and appreciation. Local officials preferred to expend enormous resources on grand Dragon King ceremonies, praying for favorable weather and good harvests, rather than trust the words of an ordinary farmer toiling in the mud. They felt that Wenbo, a mere commoner, had no business participating in such a major undertaking as flood control.

In her previous life, An Jing was the one who recommended this person to Feng Yan before Nalan Rongruo, thus solving the big problem that troubled the Ministry of Works in one fell swoop. Not only did she become good friends with the other party, but she also came into the emperor's sight and became the second princess to enter the court.

So, can An Jing still be satisfied this time as a palace maid?

As the princess's personal maid, Lu Wei was also a capable person. She changed into riding clothes and took two servants with martial arts background to set off together. They traveled day and night and brought Wen Bo back in half a month.

The next day, Nalan Rongruo wrote an invitation letter, asking Feng Yan to come to his house in the name of asking for advice on court affairs.

The most favored princess in the previous dynasty's harem personally sent an invitation. Such an honor would be difficult to refuse for anyone, let alone Feng Yan?

However, considering the princess's status and reputation as a noble lady, Feng Yan naturally dared not neglect or neglect her. So, after careful consideration, he decided to bring his mother along to the appointment.

Upon hearing the news, Nalan Rongruo did not become angry or resentful. On the contrary, she displayed the grace and demeanor of a princess, first arranging for Su Lan to accompany Madam Feng in the front hall to leisurely enjoy fragrant tea; while she led Feng Yan to meet the old man named Wenbo.

Although Wen Bo came from an ordinary peasant family, he exuded an awe-inspiring and inviolable integrity. Even when dressed in simple coarse cloth, it still couldn't conceal the unique temperament exuding from his unyielding character.

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess! Your humble servant greets Lord Feng!" Wen Bo bowed and greeted the two respectfully.

Seeing this venerable and wise elder before him, Feng Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He quickly stepped forward, offering his hand to help Wen Bo to his feet. He said with concern, "Old man, please get up quickly! I just heard Her Highness mention that you have a good plan for flood control." At this moment, Feng Yan, eagerly anticipating valuable advice from the other party, had completely forgotten about the princess standing not far behind him.

Nalan Rongruo didn't care about their actions at all. She found a quiet corner and sat down, leaning forward slightly, listening attentively to the two people in front of her who were enthusiastically discussing various strategies on flood control and how to effectively prevent it, in order to minimize the catastrophic impact of heavy rain and floods.

At the same time, Su Lan also invited Mrs. Feng to the inner room and concentrated on checking her old leg injury.

It turns out that when she was young, this lady was also a powerful and chivalrous heroine. However, her fate was unfortunate. An accident caused her to be murdered by a treacherous person. Not only did she lose her peerless martial arts skills, but she was also left with a lifelong disability in her right leg.

Fortunately, Feng Yan's father was a man of his word. Even after learning that Madam Feng was seriously injured and disabled, he still kept his promise and married her with great fanfare. However, even after becoming the wife of a high-ranking official, Madam Feng was always worried because of her physical disability. She was deeply afraid that if the news got out, she would be ridiculed and her master's reputation would be damaged.

Therefore, on weekdays, Mrs. Feng seldom went out to socialize with others. This trip was only facilitated by Feng Yan's earnest request.

At this moment, Madam Feng's face showed worry, and she asked hesitantly, "Miss Chu, I wonder if my crippled leg can really be healed?"

Su Lan gently held Madam Feng's hand and soothed her softly, "Madam Feng, don't worry. In my opinion, your leg injury only requires bone resetting and then applying the unique plaster I personally prepared. You can also take appropriate dietary supplements, such as drinking a bowl of bone-replenishing and blood-replenishing soup every day. With such careful care, you will be able to fully recover within three months."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and her originally dignified and calm face could hardly hide her excitement. After receiving a firm assurance from Su Lan, she did not hesitate to ask Su Lan to perform bone correction treatment for her immediately.

However, Su Lan shook her head slightly and said softly, "Madam Feng, this is not a suitable place to treat your leg injury. After the bone correction, you will have to lie in bed all day and cannot move at all for more than ten days. Therefore, it is better to return to the mansion for treatment."

Then, Su Lan patiently and meticulously explained the entire bone-setting process to Mrs. Feng. After hearing this, Mrs. Feng finally gave up the idea of ​​treatment on the spot, but the excitement deep in her heart was still difficult to calm down.

Afterwards, they returned to the front hall and continued to leisurely sip their tea. Mrs. Feng seemed a completely different person now, enthusiastically recounting to Su Lan all the strange and interesting stories she had experienced during her time as a wanderer. Her vivid descriptions made it seem as if she were there herself.

Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, the sun had already set, and a brilliant sunset glow appeared on the horizon. At this moment, Nalan Rongruo and the other two also ended their conversation and slowly walked out of the room.

At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that after only such a short period of time together, Mrs. Feng and Su Lan had become as close as sisters, and the relationship between the two seemed particularly close.

When he learned that his mother's injury still had a chance to heal, Feng Yan politely thanked Su Lan and took Wen Bo and his mother back home. Of course, Su Lan also went with them. Since she decided to help, she had to pay more attention.
