Thinking about this, the old lady took Shen Yu's hand again, patted it gently, and said softly to Li: "Wan'er, Yu'er just told me that the people in Qingshan Prefecture really eat locusts as food."

"Yes, mother."

"Locusts are pests, how can we eat them?"

"Mom, you know Qingshan Prefecture was hit by a locust plague last year. The locusts swarmed across the land, wiping out all the crops. The people had nothing to eat, and since they knew locusts were edible, they certainly wouldn't let them go."

"In that case, locusts are really hateful and they deserve to eat us all," the old lady said firmly.

Hearing the old lady say this, Li thought back to the scene of the locust plague last year. She believed that she would never forget the overwhelming locusts even when she died.

Fortunately, she had a precious daughter who not only saved the people of Wuning County, but also benefited the people of other counties in Qingshan Prefecture. After the locust plague came, they did not suffer too much loss, but made a small profit instead.

The people of Qingshan Prefecture originally thought that they would be left homeless after the locust plague. Although the food in the fields was gone, the locusts did not make them homeless. Instead, they improved their living standards.

Under such circumstances, the people of Qingshan Prefecture were grateful to their daughter from the bottom of their hearts, and she was also proud to have such a daughter.

"Yes, locusts are pests. Wherever they pass, nothing grows, bringing devastating disasters to countless people. But before, people didn't know locusts were edible. But now that we know they can be processed and cooked into delicious and nutritious food, the people of Qingshan Prefecture don't think the locust plague is that terrible. Instead, they consider them a great asset."

"Oh, what do you mean?" asked the old lady.

Then Li told the story of how the people of Qingshan Prefecture eliminated the locusts.

When the old lady heard that there was a girl who led a large army of ducks to various counties to kill locusts and bought them at a high price, she praised her and said that such a girl was not only capable but also kind-hearted and could do things from the standpoint of the people. She was really a rare good girl.

Li and Rong were very happy to hear the old lady's praise, because they knew that the girl who led the ducks to kill the locusts was their own daughter, so they were naturally very happy.

Shen Yu was different. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.

You should know that the reason she brought those lowly villagers to the capital was because she was attacked by ducks in Qingshan Prefecture.

If those ducks had not "risen up in rebellion", he believed that with tens of thousands of ducks, not only would they not have to worry about food and drink, they could also take in some refugees.

After all, she is very experienced in this area. She used food as an inducement to make those lowly villagers follow her.

Although his purpose in gathering those refugees was not pure, after all, she gave those lowly villagers food to eat and a way to survive. Even if she later ignored the lives of those people in order to save her own life, it was reasonable. She had already allowed those people to live a few more days, and she had done well enough.

But what's wrong with this damn old woman now? She actually praised a girl she had only met before. How could this be allowed?

In the past few months, she has tried her best to please the old lady. Although the old lady is quite nice to her, she has not refused to let her marry the eldest prince.

She was the chosen one. When she came to this world, she was supposed to be the most noble woman here, and she should have the power of life and death over everyone in the world.

Ever since she came to this world, she had inquired about it and carefully analyzed the four princes to see who was most likely to ascend to that high position.

After much thought, she still felt that the eldest prince was the most likely candidate.
