Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Li Mengyue had just arrived in Qingshan Town. It was not yet dark, and the twilight afterglow of the setting sun lightly spread over the houses and the ground, adding a bit of haziness and poetry to the evening scene in front of her.

Walking along the main street of the town, there are rows of shops and many stalls on both sides of the street.

"Baozi, buns with thin skin and lots of fillings..."

"Osmanthus cake..."

"Shaobing..."

"Mantou, soft and delicious mantou..."

As we continued walking forward, we saw the reflections of people toasting each other on the stained glass windows of the taverns, smoke rising from the tea stalls, and the rich smell of fireworks filling the entire street.

The system smelled the delicious food and temporarily forgot that the host had unilaterally cut off the connection, and started muttering in Li Mengyue's mind again.

[Host, is that a fried dough twist? It's crispy and crunchy. If I could eat one, it would be worth my life in this world. Oh, there's also a walnut cake. I really want to eat it.]

Li Mengyue originally thought that she had a clear understanding of the system's foodie nature, but now she saw that the system kept chattering when it encountered delicious food, and she was helpless.

I had no choice but to take out the money and buy all the snacks the system mentioned. Since I bought so much, passers-by kept looking at me.

Li Mengyue didn't care at all. She ate while listening to the system's evaluation of the food. Before she knew it, she had finished all the dozen snacks.

After eating and drinking, Li Mengyue went to Tongfu Inn, asked for a room upstairs, and had a good sleep.

The next morning, Li Mengyue checked out of the hotel, went to the street to eat some breakfast, and then set off for Xinghua Village.

Xinghua Village is a small village under Qingshan Town, close to the mountains. It is twenty miles away from the village to the town, and it takes more than an hour to walk there.

As I was leaving the town, three or four women walked by, chatting as they walked: "Hey, have you heard? Li's second daughter-in-law Wan Niang is seriously ill and is probably dying soon."

"Everyone in Xinghua Village knows that Zhou Zhen usually wastes his time on his second daughter-in-law. Now that Wanniang is sick, he doesn't even pay for her medical treatment. This is too much."

"Who says it isn't?"

"As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. This saying has come true in Li Gui's case."

"Hey, Wan Niang is seriously ill this time. I heard that she missed her daughter. I don't know where that damn girl Li Ran has gone. She hasn't come back for two years. I wonder if she really ran away with someone."

"Li Cuihua, don't talk nonsense about things that are not proven. A girl's innocence is extremely important. If you say it casually without any teeth, Li Ran will not get married if he comes back." A woman said with her face resting on the pillow.

When the woman named Li Cuihua heard this, she immediately became unhappy and shouted, "What's wrong? What did I say wrong? Li Ran stole the family's money two years ago and never came back. The Li family has been looking for him everywhere. What else can he do if he ran away with someone else? Besides, Wan Niang got sick because of Li Ran. She has taken so many medicines and spent so much money in the past two years. Not to mention Zhou Zhen, I would not give her money for medical treatment anymore."

Hearing Li Cuihua's unreasonable demands, the women who were traveling with her subconsciously walked away quickly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you two? Aren't you going to sell eggs and buy things together?"

When the woman who was traveling with her heard Li Cuihua's screams, she walked faster and soon she disappeared from her sight.

Li Mengyue, who was walking nearby, heard the names of Wan Niang and Li Ran. She was walking quickly, but suddenly slowed down and followed the women at a leisurely pace.

From the conversation, we learned that they were from Xinghua Village, and the Li Ping and Wan Niang mentioned were probably the original owner's biological parents. Li Ran, who stole the family's money and ran away two years ago, was most likely the second sister of the original owner, Yun Ran, the current daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Knowing that Wan Niang was seriously ill, Li Mengyue quickened her pace and shortened the journey of more than an hour by more than half.

Half an hour later, Li Mengyue arrived at Xinghua Village.

Originally, Li Mengyue wanted to rent a horse carriage so that she could reach Xinghua Village faster without having to ask anyone for directions.

But she didn't know what kind of personalities Li An and Wan Niang had. If they were nice to her, she wouldn't mind letting them follow her and enjoy the good life. If they didn't satisfy her, she would just do a good job on the surface and live alone in the future.

Li Mengyue walked to the big tree at the entrance of the village and saw five children playing the stone catching game.

The scene was so interesting that several children stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Mengyue with their big round eyes.

A brave child asked, "Sister, who are you looking for?"

"How do you know I'm looking for someone?"

"You are not from our village. If you are not looking for someone, then what are you doing?"

Li Mengyue reached out and grabbed a few crispy candies from the backpack, and said calmly: "Yes, I just want to find someone, so can you help me find the way?"

As he said this, he handed the candies to the children.

When the children saw the crispy candies, their eyes widened and they were "stuck" to them, not wanting to move away.

After all, they had never eaten such crispy candies before. They had only seen them from Li Chengxuan, who said that they were only sold at Babaozhai in the town. A piece of crispy candy cost two cents, which was one cent more expensive than an egg.

But they couldn't even eat eggs on weekdays. The eggs at home were saved and waited for their mother to sell them in town to exchange for salt. Not to mention the crispy candies that cost two cents each.

Several children looked at Li Mengyue without blinking and took out five pieces of crispy candies. They were so envious that they were about to cry.

Li Mengyue saw a child with crystal liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth, but she had no intention of robbing him. It seemed that the children in Xinghua Village were well-educated.

Thinking about living here for a long time in the future, it would be nice to have a group of sensible and polite children following me and calling me sister.

"Tell me how to get to Li An's house, and these crispy candies will be yours."

As soon as Li Mengyue finished speaking, several children rushed to take her away.

"Sister, I know. I'll take you there."

"And Goudan, sister, Goudan also knows."

"Sister, my name is Tiechui. I live next to Uncle Li's house. Let me take you there."

Li Mengyue saw that the children who were playing together just now were vying to take her with them for the candy, so she softened her tone: "Okay, everyone go, one candy each."

As he said this, he distributed the five pieces of crispy candies in his hand to the five children. After each child got a crispy candy, the child named Goudan couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, Tiechui put it carefully in his pocket and ate half of it, and the remaining half was held tightly in his hand.

The key point is that there was a child who picked up the candy, licked it carefully, then closed his eyes and savored it slowly.

Li Mengyue saw that it was just a piece of crispy candy, but the children treated it so carefully. This was the only reaction one would have if they had never eaten it before, and she felt mixed emotions.

After receiving the candies, the children actively took Li Mengyue to Li An's house.
