Chapter 435: County Magistrate Yang Arrives (1/2)



Indeed, Xie Ruiyuan is the third prince of the current dynasty. He is handsome, powerful, and has outstanding abilities. He is the most perfect husband in the minds of thousands of girls and the man they most want to marry.

[Tuanzi, you're right. Men are good at lying. Who knows if what Xie Ruiyuan said is true?]

[Host, that's definitely not the case. How could the King of Chen possibly only have you as his only woman? He must have seen countless women. What should we do in the future?]

Hearing this, Li Mengyue suddenly had a very strong and unbearable feeling of nausea, as if there were countless things churning in her stomach, but she couldn't vomit them out, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Ayue, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

Xie Ruiyuan wanted to resolve the current dilemma, and revealing his identity was the best option. This way, Li Mengyue would no longer have to endure the gossip of others, and it would also prevent Li Mengyue from having bad peach blossoms.

He knew very well that Li Mengyue's pregnancy was no secret not only in Xinghua Village but also in the entire Qingshan Town.

However, in view of the harm Li Mengyue brought to the seven villages, the seven village chiefs had reminded the villagers, so no one said it to her face.

But a girl who gets pregnant before marriage is considered indecent in people's eyes, and he doesn't want his woman to suffer any injustice.

Another thing, don't think he doesn't know that even though Li Mengyue is pregnant, her unique personality charm still attracts other men.

Since Li Mengyue has followed him and is pregnant with his child, he must not only protect their couple, but also stop other people from having any thoughts of marrying her.

But once his identity is revealed, it will go against his original intention of living in Xinghua Village. His original intention was to protect Li Mengyue at close range, not to attract the enemy and let Li Mengyue face endless assassinations.

He believed that once those people in Beijing knew that the child in Li Mengyue's belly was his, they would definitely use any means to eliminate her and would not let Li Mengyue give birth to the child smoothly.

How could this be possible? He would never allow anyone to hurt Li Mengyue and the child, not even himself.

Besides, his current stay in Qingshan Prefecture is not only for disaster relief, but also closely related to the future destiny of him, Li Mengyue, and the children.

If he fails in disaster relief and fails to properly resettle the victims, the refugees will complain.

In order to survive, he was forced to revolt. It was uncertain whether he could keep the position of crown prince, or even the throne.

Just as Xie Ruiyuan was hesitating whether to reveal his identity, voices were heard not far away.

"Let us go, let us go. Someone reported a gang fight in Xinghua Village. How do we respond?"

As soon as he spoke, the man appeared in the crowd. Village chief Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the county magistrate coming with a group of yamen runners.

With the arrival of the county magistrate, he believed that the food supplies of the seven villages could be preserved and he no longer worried that they would be taken away by Zhulin Village and Mr. Liu.

Although they bought grain from Li Mengyue at two cents per pound, and Master Liu paid them according to the price, they were unwilling to do so and had no intention of selling the grain at all.

Not to mention the locust plague this year, the countless refugees who came to the county, and even in normal years, they would not think of selling grain.

They would just take the fine grains at home to the grain store and exchange them for coarse grains. For poor people like them, they didn't care about the grain at all, as long as they could fill their stomachs.

But refined grains are expensive, more than twice as expensive as coarse grains. How can they afford it?
