That damned Crown Prince! Doesn't he even know his place? He actually forcibly abducted a woman! Oh, no, a young married woman.
Fortunately, Han Luoxue was protected by the old general. If it were an ordinary person, what would happen if the crown prince took a liking to her?
The old man didn't even dare to think about it.
"That's your good fortune. So many people would love to be close to the Crown Prince but never get the chance."
"Sigh, Lord Zhu, you wouldn't be thinking of using me to curry favor with the Crown Prince, would you?"
Han Luoxue secretly glanced at the old man whose face was ashen. She didn't mind letting him see what kind of good prince he was.
"Hmph, I helped you get in touch with the Crown Prince, shouldn't you be grateful?"
"Han Luoxue, do you know how many people in this world want to get into the Crown Prince's bed?"
"You've caught the Crown Prince's eye; that's a blessing your Han family has accumulated over generations. You should be content."
Magistrate Zhu had no idea what Han Luoxue was thinking. The Crown Prince had personally said he would welcome her to his residence, so what was this woman being so pretentious about?
"Heh, the Crown Prince taking a liking to me is my good fortune? I'd rather not have such a good fortune. I have a man, and when I'm getting married to my man, the Crown Prince comes to steal him away. Do you think that's appropriate?"
"Your man? This ugly, peasant-like fellow? Oh, I forgot, he's a cripple too." Magistrate Zhu glanced at Han Yuchen with disdain and sneered, "Han Luoxue, are you blind? What does this cripple have that's better than the Crown Prince?"
"She is my man, better than the Crown Prince in every way."
"It's not something to be flattered. Han Luoxue, let me tell you the truth, the Crown Prince said that she's determined to have you."
Magistrate Zhu pointed at Han Yuchen: "He's dead!"
The old man couldn't believe it at first, but when he heard it with his own ears, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Listen to this, is this something a crown prince should do?
This is utterly ridiculous! And this is only what he knew and didn't know. How arrogant can this unfilial son be?
Han Yuchen gave the old man a cold look, a look that filled the old man with bitterness.
The Crown Prince's actions were indeed outrageous, but the old man didn't realize that he was also innocent.
If the old general hadn't submitted a memorial, and the emperor hadn't become suspicious, this matter probably would never have reached his ears.
The old man's eyes were deep and unfathomable. Although he hadn't accomplished much in his life, he could still distinguish between good and bad!
He was diligent in governing and caring for the people, and worked conscientiously, but who could have imagined that his crown prince would be so absurd?
The old man was so angry that his vision blurred, but Magistrate Zhu was clearly unaware of this.
"Heh, you're saying my man is doomed? What did my man do wrong?"
Han Luoxue sneered and continued to watch Magistrate Zhu court death.
"Hmph, stealing the Crown Prince's woman, shouldn't he die?"
"You're saying my man stole the Crown Prince's woman? When? If the Crown Prince came to our wedding, fine, we'd welcome him. But he came and said he wanted to marry me. Who stole whose woman?"
There's really no logic to this world.
"The whole world belongs to the king."
"The Crown Prince is the future emperor. It's your good fortune that he has taken a liking to you. If this ugly woman is smart enough to back out early, the Crown Prince won't be so ruthless as to kill her."
This was the first time Han Luoxue had learned that the phrase "all land under heaven belongs to the king" was used in this way.
Magistrate Zhu's statement is truly mind-blowing.
With such a local official, how can you expect him to be diligent and love the people?
"So, you're saying it's our fault?"
"snort."
"Okay, you're good."
Han Luoxue was speechless. She looked at the old man with a dark face and smiled, "Crown Prince, you really are different from others."
"Isn't that right?" The old general sneered, giving the old man a big eye roll.
...
The old man and the old general didn't stay long; they left on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Before leaving, the old general told Han Luoxue and the others to go back to the capital for a visit, and also invited Han Mingyuan's family.
These past few days, Han Mingyuan has dared to go out into the fields again.
There are still some problems with walking.
Seeing that both of her family members had difficulty walking, Han Luoxue felt extremely conflicted.
However, before leaving, the old man took Magistrate Zhu with him. As for the magistrate of Wuling Town, the position is temporarily vacant.
"The county magistrate, Wen, is not a bad person."
Han Yuchen recommended someone, and as a result, Magistrate Wen was temporarily put in charge, waiting for the next magistrate to arrive.
"Mother, have you seen Father's and Yuchen's legs?"
The farm started operations today. Han Qiang called over the able-bodied men in the village, and since everyone had nothing else to do, they went to help.
There were quite a few people over there. Even the young women went to help, leaving some elderly people and children at home.
Han Luoxue was pregnant, so she naturally stayed as well.
"I saw it. Sigh, your father deserved it."
It seems like fate has brought me a calamity. The first time I injured my leg, my daughter healed me, and now this is happening again.
"Mother, you said Father and Yuchen's legs are only a little short. What if we improved their shoes?"
Han Luoxue had just thought of it; modern shoes have height-increasing insoles, so she believed that these, which were only slightly shorter, could also work.
"You mean, one of the shoes has a thicker sole?"
Yunniang hadn't thought of that before, but after hearing this, she pondered it seriously:
"You know what, it might actually work."
"Then let's wait and give it a try."
"Little Xue, what are we making for lunch today?"
Grandma Han also came to help; she's now in charge of the kitchen and is very responsible.
"Let's have stewed potatoes with meat, or stewed cabbage with meat."
It doesn't matter what dish you make. Nowadays, everyone's stomachs are lacking in oil and fat. Add more meat and oil, and everyone will enjoy it more than anything else.
"Okay."
Grandma Han knew that Han Luoxue wasn't stingy, so she led the people to the basement to get the things.
Although she knew that Han Mingyuan's family was not short of food, she was still shocked to see it so full.
Even in good years, her family didn't have this much grain or meat.
"Oh, Grandma Han, you really are lucky."
Aunt Wu said sourly, and Old Mrs. Han snorted coldly:
"What do you mean by good luck? I call it being good at giving birth."
"Hehe, you'd better pray that Xue girl will always be this good to you."
Will she have more children? She didn't have this attitude towards Han Mingyuan's family back then.
“My granddaughter has always been good to me.”
Having nearly died, Old Master Han had a profound realization.
"Yuze, come and help quickly."
Upon seeing her eldest grandson peeking out, Grandma Han called out without hesitation.
Han Yuze is quite sensible now, and obediently came to help. Everyone quickly moved all the vegetables and grains out.
Looking at the busy crowd, Han Luoxue sighed inwardly, "Life is only meaningful when it's lively and bustling."
Is anyone home?
Suddenly, he heard someone calling outside the door. Han Yuze rushed over and saw several strangers. He asked, puzzled:
Who are you?
"We're looking for Miss Han."
"Miss Han? Looking for my sister?"
