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

"Master, we searched all the nearby streets, but we didn't see even a shadow of a girl."

Xie Ming followed Xie Yunzhou and kept looking for Li Mengyue, but they didn't see her.

Although Xie Yunzhou didn't show it on his face, he was still very anxious.

He did not bring any followers with him this time. Because the situation was too tense at the beginning, he did not even bring his secret guards.

However, he later received a secret letter from his father, saying that there were floods in the south, severe drought in Qingshan Prefecture, and a locust plague was very likely, and the current emperor ordered to prevent refugees from going north.

Fearing that he would encounter danger while searching for Mingxuan, he sent secret guards to protect him and help him find Mingxuan.

Xie Yunzhou stood on the street, watching the people coming and going, and decided to go to the government office first to ask his good friend about the human trafficker.

Just as he took a step forward, Xie Yunzhou felt something and looked to the right.

"aunt?"

Unconvinced, he rubbed his eyes again and tried to confirm the person he saw, but the person was gone.

Xie Yunzhou quickly ran and chased in the direction of Li Mengyue.

This time was unlike last time, when I ran over there was no one there.

Li Mengyue bought beeswax, the main raw material for making candles, and was in a good mood.

"Sister, we still have a lot of meat at home. Can you make braised pork for us when you get home?"

The meat of the wild boar brought down from the mountain was distributed to every household in the seven villages.

But the Li family did not lose a single pound, and the village chief wanted to give the Li family a big wild boar.

It’s just a big wild boar weighing four or five hundred pounds, and the weather is hot, so it can’t be kept for long.

Li Mengyue didn't want to take the food to the town to sell. She didn't need those little vegetables, but there were not many people in her family, and it would take a long time to eat them every day.

So she asked her mother to pickle it with salt and prepare some smoked meat, since there was no shortage of pine and cypress branches on the mountain anyway.

But even though most of the meat was used to make smoked meat, there was still a lot left, which she froze with some ice.

Speaking of ice, the moment she made ice with saltpeter, her parents were shocked.

At that time, her mother ordered her not to take the ice out and only use it at home for fear that it would bring disaster.

In fact, she knew that ice could be made in summer. Once the nobles knew about it, they would definitely snatch the recipe.

It’s not that she thinks too much, it’s just that this era is too backward.

Not everyone can afford to use ice in summer. Only wealthy families would send servants to fetch ice from the river in winter, bring it back and store it in the cellar, waiting to use it in the summer when it gets hot.

And now, she could easily make ice with saltpeter in the summer. How could this not be shocking?

She took a look at her mother's serious expression and understood her mother's worries. Therefore, before she became powerful, she would use it in a low-key manner and not show it in front of others. Only then did her mother feel relieved.

Li Mengyue once again felt how much her mother loved her, and of course she would not put her mother in danger.

But she is not the kind of person who would compromise herself. If she has a more comfortable lifestyle, of course she would use it.

She taught her father how to make ice, and asked him to make several basins of ice with saltpeter every day and put them in the room to cool down.

The wild boar meat is also chilled and can be kept for a few days without having to worry about it going bad.

Now that she heard Minghao wanted to eat braised pork, she naturally agreed.

"Okay, no problem. I'll make more so you can have enough."

"Oh yeah! That's so nice of you, sis."

Mingyu and Mingxuan also heard the conversation between the siblings, and they were very happy to eat the braised pork.

Just when the four siblings were talking about braised pork, someone suddenly ran up from behind and blocked their way.

Xie Yunzhou saw Li Mengyue's appearance from the front and found that he was not mistaken. This girl looked very similar to his aunt.

His aunt disappeared at the age of sixteen, and it has been seventeen years now.

Although he couldn't guess what his aunt looked like now, he remembered very clearly what she looked like when she was young.

The reason why I remember what my aunt looked like is that I have to remember it even if I don't want to, because there is a portrait of my aunt in my grandmother's room and she looks at it every day.

Sometimes, after watching for a long time, I can't help but cry.

He loved his grandmother who doted on him, had no interest in being an official, and did not want to compete with his brother for the position of crown prince.

Using the excuse of visiting her aunt, she opened Tongxin Tang. Over the years, Tongxin Tang has been renowned in the industry for its low prices, whether it's doctors diagnosing illnesses or prescribing medicines.

He did this not for money, but just wanted to do more good things, hoping that one day it would benefit his aunt and allow her to live a good life outside.

Unexpectedly, over time, Tongxin Hall spread all over Da Zhou, but even so, they still couldn't find my aunt.

His grandmother's health was getting worse day by day, and he really wanted her to see his aunt again before she died to make up for the regret in his heart.

Looking at the girl in front of him who looked 70% like his aunt's portrait, he subconsciously called out, "Aunt."

Li Mengyue looked at the young man who was blocking the road. He looked good but had a problem with his brain. What a pity.

So she showed a sympathetic look to Xie Yunzhou and said in a coaxing tone: "Sir, I am not your aunt, please move aside, I want to go home."

When Xie Yunzhou heard what Li Mengyue said, he realized that his aunt had disappeared at the age of sixteen and seventeen years had passed.

Even if she had always lived in the palace, leading a life of luxury, it would be impossible for her to maintain such good looks and still look like a young girl.

Obviously this girl couldn't be his aunt, but the girl looked so much like his aunt that he didn't believe that they had no relationship.

Before Xie Yunzhou could continue asking, Xie Ming and Shopkeeper Wang followed.

Shopkeeper Wang just stood up and saw Li Mengyue, and exclaimed: "Miss Lingzhi."

When Li Mengyue saw Shopkeeper Wang, she knew that she had just arrived in Wuning County and was short of money, so she sold Panax notoginseng and a 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum for 535 taels of silver, which became her first pot of gold in this world and also made her more confident to return to Xinghua Village. Therefore, she had a good impression of Shopkeeper Wang.

"Manager Wang, long time no see."

"Miss Li, thank you for the Lingzhi. Have you been okay recently?"

"Not bad, no need to thank me, we've settled the deal in cash."

"cough!"

"cough!"

"cough!"

When Shopkeeper Wang heard the cough, he realized that the boss was there too. He didn't care about losing his composure and immediately said to Xie Yunzhou excitedly, "Boss, this is the girl who sold me the Ganoderma lucidum."

Xie Yunzhou was also surprised. He didn't expect that the 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that saved his grandmother was sold by this girl.

If it were any other time, he would have found a way to buy another Ganoderma lucidum, but now he hesitated, wondering whether this girl who looked like his aunt was related to him, or if she was related to him.
