Yun Yuan walked for a long time and finally arrived at the county government office where Wenren Yan was held the next day.
Wen Renyan was dressed in a dark robe, had a tall figure, picturesque features, and an elegant and cool temperament. He was talking to a man in the official uniform of a county magistrate.
[Host, that's Wenren Yan, pounce on him! Seduce him, tease him!]
Yun Yuan: […There’s no need to be so direct.]
She staggered, her body swaying uncontrollably from side to side. She walked to the gate of the county government office with difficulty. Her legs went weak and she fell forward.
There was a dull thud, and she fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
system:【……】
At the same time, the veil on her head fell to the ground, revealing her beautiful face.
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw a woman in light blue clothes lying on the ground. Her clothes were still neat, but her shoes were in tatters.
When they saw her face clearly, their eyes widened unconsciously. How could there be such a stunningly beautiful person in the world?
Snow-white skin, beautiful face, delicate nose and cherry lips.
At this moment, she stood up slowly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she looked very painful, which made people feel a little nervous.
County Magistrate Bu looked away with difficulty, trying to calm his inner astonishment, and then glanced at Wenren Yan cautiously.
At this moment, Wenren Yan's eyes were as deep as a pool of water, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
Lord Bu coughed lightly and said in a gentle voice, "This young lady has come to the county government office because she needs help?"
"Greetings, sir." Yun Yuan bowed to him weakly, her figure as slender as a willow swaying in the wind.
"To be honest, I'm Yun Yuan, the seventeenth daughter of the Wenchang Marquis's mansion. I was separated from my family on my way to Shengjing. I'm unfamiliar with the place, and it took me a whole day to finally find the county office. Could the county magistrate send a message to my father, asking him to send someone to pick me up?"
"It was possible before, but now the government offices are busy dealing with disasters and they really don't have the manpower to spare."
Lord Bu shook his head regretfully. He also wanted to help the beauty, but now that the eldest prince was here, he had to be cautious.
A look of disappointment appeared on Yun Yuan's face, and her eyes, which were originally bright and lively like glass, now became dull and lifeless.
"Resettling the refugees is crucial. I was not considerate enough. I am truly ashamed."
She turned around and was about to leave. Lord Bu wanted to call her, but he was afraid that Wen Renyan would think he was a man who was after beauty, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing her walking slowly forward, he became anxious and hesitated to speak several times.
Such a beautiful girl goes to the capital alone. What if she meets a vicious person?
"Wait." A magnetic and clear voice came from behind Yun Yuan.
She curled her lips. As expected, in front of such extreme beauty, no one could remain indifferent, not even Wen Ren Yan, who was not interested in women.
She turned around in confusion, her watery eyes looking at the crowd, as if guessing who was speaking.
Wen Renyan stared at her with his deep eyes, revealing an undeniable majesty. He opened his thin lips slightly and spoke in a cold voice.
"You will stay at the county government office for the time being. Once I have dealt with the flood, I will take you to the capital."
Yun Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief: "You are...you are the prince?" Her voice trembled with excitement.
Wenren Yan nodded slightly in response.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yuan hurriedly leaned forward and performed a standard greeting: "Your Highness, your humble servant greets you!"
Her movements are graceful and flowing, with an undeniable beauty.
"No need to be so polite." Wen Renyan tightened his hands slightly under his sleeves, then restrained himself and put them down. His expression remained calm as he asked someone to arrange accommodation for Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan settled down in the Jiyin County Government Office, and Lord Bu arranged a maid named Xiye for her.
There were no female members in the county government office. Xiye was originally sweeping the backyard, but was temporarily called to Yun Yuan. She was very curious about the new girl.
When she saw Yun Yuan's appearance, her mind went blank and she said foolishly, "Mom, I saw a fairy today..."
Yun Yuan chuckled, and in an instant it was like a hundred flowers blooming.
Xiye held onto the wall dizzyly. When she realized what she had done, her face was filled with embarrassment and she blushed with shame.
She spoke incoherently, "I... I am sweeping the floor for the young lady. No, the young lady is new here, does she need a bath? I will prepare hot soup and clothes for her."
Yun Yuan really wanted to clean the blisters on her feet, especially which were very uncomfortable.
She said, "Thank you so much, my feet are rubbed raw. Can you bring me some ointment if possible?"
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." Xiye lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's my duty to serve the young lady. There's a doctor at the county office. I'll call him over right away."
"Call me after you're done bathing." Yun Yuan rubbed his brows tiredly, "Prepare some hot water for me first."
After bathing, I put on the clothes that Xiye brought. They were not particularly fitting, but they were the best that could be provided in a short period of time.
The court doctor came over to treat Yun Yuan's blisters, but seeing that her feet were as smooth as jade, he didn't dare to look at them for too long. He quickly finished the treatment and left a bottle of ointment.
After walking for such a long time, Yun Yuan was really tired. She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She couldn't get up even when Xiye called her to eat.
In the evening, Wen Renyan returned to the county government office, and the first thing he did was to ask about Yun Yuan.
Lord Bu tactfully asked someone to call Xiye over.
Xiye knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation: "To answer your Highness, Miss Yun's feet were rubbed and she has been given medicine. She is resting now."
It was indeed worn out.
Wenren Yan took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and placed it on the table: "Use this to apply."
Xiye took the medicine and retreated, and Wenren Yan discussed the policy to deal with the disaster with County Magistrate Bu.
First, the breached dam needs to be repaired. It is now barely blocked, but it may breach again at any time, which is a time bomb for the people living downstream.
Second, refugees need resettlement.
Third, the grain in the county government has already been taken out, so where will the additional grain come from?
Fourth, too many people drowned. How to deal with the bodies? Will it pollute the water source and cause plague?
Fifth, how to rectify the chaotic order? The victims have no food. The kinder ones will eat tree bark, weeds and drowned animals to survive, but the radical ones have already started eating humans.
Wenren Yan and County Magistrate Bu discussed for a long time but still could not make up their minds. At this moment, someone came to report that Yun Yuan had arrived.
