Li Mengyue also turned her gaze to Liu Quan. Without saying anything, one look made Liu Quan terrified.
“Bang!”
"Master Liu, why are you hitting me? Shouldn't you be hitting that little bitch Li Mengyue?"
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Liu Quan slapped Zhu Lei's face again, once on each side.
"Get lost. What are you talking about? How dare you speak to the young lady like that? If you want to die, don't drag me into this."
After beating Zhu Lei, he hurriedly walked to Li Mengyue and knelt on the ground with a thud.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
He kowtowed three times to Li Mengyue.
"Miss, it wasn't my idea to come to Xinghua Village to get food. It was Zhu Lei. Yes, it was Zhu Lei who came up with this plan. If you're angry, take it out on Zhu Lei. This has nothing to do with me."
After Liu Quan finished speaking, he continued to kowtow, each time very hard, and soon blood came out of his forehead.
Liu Quanlai's move not only confused Zhu Lei, but also the villagers from the eight villages showed bewildered expressions, and Li Mengyue was also confused.
She didn't know that the two people who were on opposite sides of each other a minute ago had undergone such a drastic change. She ran to him to shirk responsibility and even kowtowed her head until it was bleeding in order to seek her forgiveness.
When everyone present was confused, Liu Quan kowtowed vigorously, his mind as clear as a mirror.
He remembered, he really remembered, who the man next to Li Mengyue was. It was the King Chen who he used to scare the villagers.
He could be sure that it was Prince Chen, there was no way he would be wrong.
And the moment he recognized Prince Chen, he knew he was in big trouble.
Who is Prince Chen? He is the third prince, the most favored by the current emperor, the son of the queen, and the true legitimate son of the empress.
He heard that if the eldest and second princes' maternal families were not too powerful, Prince Chen would have been the crown prince long ago.
But what did he do before? He said that his second daughter was the future princess of Prince Chen.
The villagers present didn't know that he was lying, but he knew it clearly in his heart.
It was just that he had met the second young lady by chance and had been to Prince Chen's Mansion once. He had not even entered the palace gate, but just stood at the door.
He was in Xinghua Village, and in order to get the food smoothly without any setbacks, he made up a sentence.
He didn't expect that these villagers believed what he said without a doubt, and really thought that his second daughter had been betrothed to Prince Chen and would be a legitimate princess in the future.
These villagers have basically lived in Qingshan Town all their lives. The farthest place they have been to is the county, and the highest official they have met is the county magistrate. They have never met any princes or nobles.
He just mentioned that the Prince would be the second young lady's husband in the future, and he frightened the villagers.
They were asked to hand over the grain, but they dared not utter a word of rebuttal, for fear of provoking revenge from the Second Young Miss and Prince Chen.
Watching the people of Zhulin Village carrying out the grain bag by bag, he felt very proud and thought that he was really smart. He could even think of an excuse to mention the title of King Chen and force these villagers to hand over the grain even if they were unwilling.
