It only destroyed Li Mengyue's integrity and cut off the possibility of Li Mengyue returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was far from enough to eliminate the hatred in her heart.

Li Mengyue had occupied her identity for more than ten years and lived the life of a rich lady. As for her, she could not get enough food to eat in Xingying Village and had to face beatings and scoldings from the old hag. She lived a life worse than pigs and dogs.

If she didn't know that her identity had been changed and that she was the legitimate daughter of a powerful family, she would definitely accept her fate and, under the arrangement of her family, marry a man who was willing to pay a high bride price and have children with him. As for what kind of life she would lead after marriage, it was beyond her imagination.

If she is lucky, she may meet a caring and understanding man who will allow her to escape from her original family. If she is unlucky, she will have to repeat her previous life endlessly.

But God treated Yun Ran well. When she tried every means to resist her fate, she encountered the black scum system, which changed her bad fate and made her the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion.

This is not enough. Only when Li Mengyue falls into an irretrievable situation and can never recover, will she let go. Otherwise, she will continue to fight with Li Mengyue until death.

Therefore, when she learned that Liu Quan did not stockpile grain as she requested and had lost the bargaining chip to please the third prince, she gave up on Liu Quan without saying a word.

She didn't care about what Liu Quan was doing in prison or when he would die. She only knew that Liu Quan was doing a poor job and she was very merciful by not killing him herself.

Afterwards, she went to Xingying Village and found Old Lady Li.

After not seeing each other for more than two years, Old Lady Li was still the same as before, greedy for money. She just took out a few taels of silver, and Old Lady Li told her everything she wanted to know.

From Old Lady Li, we learned that all the changes in the village were related to Li Mengyue, and all the villagers in the seven villages in Qingshan Town listened to Li Mengyue. No matter what Li Mengyue said, the villagers would carry it out unconditionally.

For example, when Li Mengyue asked everyone to build a reservoir and dig a river, everyone responded immediately and started to cooperate in the task without any dragging their feet.

To be honest, she was still very surprised when she heard Old Lady Li say this. Thinking of the two years she had been with Li Mengyue, she knew Li Mengyue's character too well. How could Li Mengyue have such a thought?

But facts made her believe it. She saw with her own eyes the villagers digging the river in full swing. She didn't understand why Li Mengyue had changed so much.

But there was one thing she was very clear about, that was Li Mengyue survived. Even after being beaten all over her body, disfigured, and drugged, Li Mengyue did not die. She even went to Xingying Village and recognized her biological parents.

How is this possible? How could Li Mengyue survive after suffering such serious injuries?

The most important purpose of her asking Liu Quan to come to Wuning County was to stockpile food and completely cut off Li Mengyue's path, but it was just a by-product.

Because she didn't believe that Li Mengyue could continue to live in that state.

But the result was beyond her expectation. Not only did Li Mengyue not die, but she was also thriving in Xingxi Village. She made the seven villages in Qingshan Town unite and all obeyed Li Mengyue's orders.

She knew that Mrs. Li was not lying and that Li Mengyue had indeed done all these things in Qingshan Town.

She had traveled all the way from the capital to Xingying Village, not to see Li Mengyue living a happy life, but to capture the third prince.

But there was no hope with the Third Prince, so she could only vent her anger on Li Mengyue.

What she didn't expect was that Li Mengyue was not in the village. Unable to find Li Mengyue, she went to Li's house to find her adoptive mother.

When she arrived at the Li family's new house, she did not see her adoptive mother Li, but only saw her adopted son Li An.

She originally thought that since she had been gone for two years, her adoptive mother would always be worried about her, and would be very excited when she saw her, if not burst into tears.

When her adopted father Li An met her, he was very enthusiastic and let her in, but she did not feel the love a father has for his daughter.

She knew that this was all caused by Li Mengyue. Li Mengyue was a scourge. Not only did she steal her identity and make her live a poor life for more than ten years, she also stole the love of her adoptive mother.

At that moment, her hatred for Li Mengyue reached its peak. She believed that if Li Mengyue was in front of her at that time, she would definitely strangle Li Mengyue to death.

She hid it from her parents and went to Wuning County on her own will. Instead of getting what she wanted, she became furious and wanted to go directly to Beijing.
