Chapter 159

The villagers almost dropped their jaws in shock. Why did he become the Crown Prince's consort? He is a dishonest man, and he even promised that he would never get married in his life, so how come he got married? Or married the prince's son?

Many people in the village laughed at Liuya after the incident, and many men said that he was too coquettish and seduced Gou Wa on purpose. Otherwise, how could such an honest and well-behaved child like Gou Wa do such a thing?

Later, when Liu Ya went to work in the county town, he earned two cents of silver every month. The people in his village, with their shallow knowledge, thought that a boy could not earn so much money and must have sold his body to earn so much money.

Also, because everyone speculated that he went to the county town to sell his body, they also speculated that the affair between him and Gou Wa was also a monetary transaction, but they just couldn't agree on the price, so it became known to the whole village. And because it became such a big deal, he had a reason to leave the village.

But now we see Liu Ya marrying the prince. How could the prince marry a unclean boy? Why is he so lucky?

Although everyone was jealous, they were also trembling with fear, fearing that Liu Ya would still remember what they had said and take revenge on them.

They were terribly afraid even of a small county magistrate, let alone the prince.

The prince asked the prefect to help read the imperial edict.

Originally, the prince should have read it, but he was afraid of encountering words he didn't know and embarrassing himself in public, so he decided to let someone else read it.

The prefect took the imperial edict respectfully and read it aloud.

The content of the imperial edict was not just to cancel the contract. It first praised Liu Ya, saying how good his character was and how he was a model for a young man. The emperor often praised people by saying they were models of something. He had previously praised Cheng Yeran as a model of scholars and also praised Yang's poetry.

But the villagers did not know this. They thought that since the emperor praised Liu Ya so much, how could Liu Ya be an unclean boy? No wonder the prince fell in love with Liu Ya and wanted to marry her.

What surprised them even more was that the emperor said in the imperial edict that he would be given an official title. How could a boy be an official?

Many people were extremely jealous. Why could she marry the prince? Why could she become an official? They were from the same village, but he was almost defiled by Gou Wa. Why?

When everyone was kneeling on the ground to receive the order, they were so jealous that they dug a hole under their hands.

Some were afraid, their minds were filled with the mocking words they had said to Liu Ya in person before. The village chief was also very scared, fearing that Liu Ya would retaliate against him.

Goudan was very angry. Why could Liuya become a royal relative? And I can only marry a woman with intellectual problems? That woman was still a lunatic. She would beat him and his family when she had an attack.

Liu Ya should live the same life as him, or even worse than him, so that he would feel balanced. Doesn’t the prince know what he has been through? It must be like this. Liu Ya must have said some sweet words to the prince and deceived him, so the prince married Liu Ya. If he told the prince what happened that year, the prince would definitely divorce Liu Ya.

He wanted to destroy Liu Ya again!

When the imperial edict was finished, the prince noticed Gou Wa's cold eyes. He was startled and immediately told his men to hold Gou Wa down. "Why are you looking at us with such vicious eyes? Are you planning to assassinate us? Arrest him now!"

As soon as he said this, not only his men, but also the guards sent by the prince to protect him rushed forward immediately and pinned the struggling Gou Wa even harder. Even the local officials became nervous and had everyone surrounded and their knives drawn.

No one in Gou Wa's family dared to make a sound. Even his mother, who used to throw a tantrum, became mute. His father was so scared that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"I'm innocent. I didn't want to kill you. I was just afraid that you would be deceived by this bitch, he..." Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered and the guard's knife was against his neck, almost chopping off his head.

The prince understood what he meant, and thought to himself that this was the first time he had met someone more stupid than himself. Wasn't the purpose of their entering the village this time to destroy the contract in the village chief's hand? Since he knew of the existence of the contract, how could he not know the contents of the contract?

When he saw Liu Ya's murderous look and Gou Wa's crazy look, he guessed that Gou Wa was the one who had molested Liu Ya that year.

"Prefect, come here and arrest him. Interrogate him thoroughly to find out why he wanted to assassinate me." The prince called the local prefect and asked him to put the man in jail. Although he just said it lightly, the meaning behind it was to torture Gou Wa.

Once you are put in jail, you will be tortured and if you don't die, you will lose half your life.

Moreover, the reason given is that he assassinated a member of the royal family. If he doesn’t admit it, then we will continue to interrogate him and make sure he is tortured to the point where he would rather die than live.

Gou Wa naively thought that as long as he told Liu Ya's past, he could pull Liu Ya down from his high position and make her fall into the quagmire with him, or even live a worse life than him. He could then continue to mock Liu Ya. However, what he did not expect was that the prince could decide his life or death with just a casual word. Not only did he understand this truth, but even the villagers understood it.

Before, they only thought that the Crown Prince was high and mighty and they were afraid of him, but they didn’t know why exactly. Now they clearly understood that the Crown Prince represented the royal family and could take their lives at will, and they didn’t even have the ability to resist.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at Liu Ya, for fear that the prince would think they were an assassin again.

After Gou Wa was captured, the prince said to the villagers: "Everyone, get up, do what you need to do, don't worry about us."

How could the villagers not care about them? They didn't dare to move. The village chief remembered something and respectfully took the contract. The prince took a look at it, handed it to Liu Ya, and asked him if it was this contract?

Liu Ya tore up the contract directly and said to the prince, "I still have to go home. If you don't want to go back with me, you can go wait in the car."

"Don't you want to stay for a few days? I finally get to go home with you." The prince looked at the beautiful scenery here and wanted to stay and play for a while. He also wanted to see what Liu Ya's home looked like.

"You can stay if you want." Liu Ya walked through the crowd and found her parents. Her parents were at a loss and didn't know how to face their brother.

At first they thought that Shen Yuntang would take Liu Ya to live in the county town as long as they were not starving to death. They never thought that he would have such good fortune.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Liu Ya missed her parents very much, even though they sometimes said unpleasant things.

Йá ΝＦ

But they loved him so much. If they didn’t love him, they wouldn’t agree to let him leave with Shen Yuntang. If they didn’t love him, they wouldn’t secretly give him money before he left.

He also remembered that when he was a child, he would tell his father everything and his father would chat with him. He could feel that his father treated him better than his older brother and would always secretly give him candies.

Thinking of the past, he couldn't help but tears up in his eyes.

His parents held his hands and asked him why he was crying.

He shook his head: "I miss home. I thought I would never come back."

"This is your home. You can come back whenever you want." His parents took him home.

The prince followed behind and said to Liu Ya with his head down: "Your parents are really nice, unlike my father who beats me every day."

Liu Ya was just getting a little emotional, and when she heard what the prince said, she turned around and glared at him, "Don't talk too much, and disturb me from reminiscing about the past with my parents."

The prince pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, and his parents were stunned. They nervously pulled Liu Ya and said, "How can you talk to the prince like this? After all, he is your husband, you have to respect him."

They just saw the prince order so many people to draw their swords with just a few words, and even the prefect was respectful in front of the prince. They were afraid that Liu Ya would displease the prince and be beaten to death by him. After all, they were ordinary people and could not protect Liu Ya.

The prince didn't understand what they meant. He thought he had finally found a backer. He complained to Liu Ya's parents: "He always bullies me. You have to talk to him and tell him not to treat me like this."

Willow Bud: “…”

The parents looked at the prince in surprise. He was completely different from how he was just now. He was just an ordinary child who loved to act like a spoiled child.

They thought, how could Liu Ya bully the prince? It must be that the prince loved Liu Ya too much, so he complained in this coquettish way, but in fact he was showing his love.

They didn't expect that the prince liked Liu Ya so much. They were very relieved, but they were also afraid that the prince was just looking for a temporary novelty.

The brother and sister-in-law were surprised watching from behind. They didn't expect that their disgraceful younger brother would marry the prince and become a royal relative.

The eldest brother couldn't help but point at himself and said: "My younger brother has become a royal relative, and I am the eldest brother-in-law of the prince. Am I also a royal relative?"

The prince looked back at his eldest brother and said, "That's the theory."

The two men looked at each other, as if they saw a kindred spirit, the big giant baby met the small giant baby, both of them were equally stupid, and the eldest brother felt a mutual attraction towards the prince.

He leaned over to ask the prince in a flattering manner: "Can you take me with you when you return to the capital? Can I go with you to the palace to see the world?"

He actually wanted to live in the palace. The palace sounded very big, so it wouldn't matter if there was one more person like him.

Liu Ya was about to stop him when she heard the prince say, "No, my father won't let me."

What the prince actually wanted to say was that his father once said that it would be good enough to have one idiot in their family. This eldest brother didn't look smart either. If he brought the eldest brother over, his father would definitely be furious. Tolerating one idiot was already his father's limit, and he really couldn't stand two.
