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

Looking at the familiar person, Li Mengyue asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Ruiyuan raised his foot and continued to walk in, saying casually: "If you can come, why can't I come?"

"Okay, whatever you want."

Yang Zhijin was a little bit incredulous when she saw how familiar the two people were with each other. How could they possibly know each other when their identities were so different?

No, suddenly he thought of Li Mengyue’s original identity and he could understand it.

As the daughter of the prime minister, Li Mengyue was quite famous in the capital.

If a banquet is held in the palace, it can still be held a little earlier. In this way, it will be understandable that Li Mengyue has met Xie Ruiyuan.

Oh, that’s not right. Xie Ruiyuan has been staying at the border all year round and only came back this year. Yang Zhijin was a little confused again.

But one thing he was sure of was that he didn't want Li Mengyue to have too much contact with her good friends.

He didn't know since when, but whenever Li Mengyue was around, he would inadvertently turn his eyes to Li Mengyue.

He hasn't expressed his feelings to Li Mengyue yet, but he doesn't want Li Mengyue to see a man better than him, otherwise he will have nowhere to cry.

But what Yang Zhijin could never have imagined was that Li Mengyue and Xie Ruiyuan had already had physical contact, and Li Mengyue was pregnant. His love was doomed to be in vain and he could not win Li Mengyue's heart.

Li Mengyue didn't put too much attention on Xie Ruiyuan, but looked at Yang Zhijin.

"Magistrate Yang, I have something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Li Mengyue didn't say anything, but glanced at Xie Ruiyuan. The meaning was very clear: do you want to say it here?

Yang Zhijin wanted to go to the study to talk, but he knew that if his friend didn't leave, it meant he wanted to listen.

"Miss Li, Ruiyuan is not an outsider, but you can speak freely."

Li Mengyue still didn't want to talk in the living room, so she motioned Yang Zhijin to go to the study.

"Why, is there something shameful that cannot be said here?"

As soon as Xie Ruiyuan finished speaking, Li Mengyue didn't think anything was wrong, but Yang Zhijin tasted something wrong.

His good friend used to be a man of few words, but what happened now? Not only did he talk a lot, but his tone was so harsh.

"Ruiyuan, why don't you go and do your work first."

"Working on it."

Yang Zhijin didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but he also knew that his good friend would not leave.

Even if he wants to drive someone away, he has to have the power to do so.

However, he and Li Mengyue had nothing to be ashamed of, so they also sat down in the living room.

Li Mengyue was worried about the refugees and didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters, so she said directly: "Yang County Magistrate, when I came, there were hundreds of refugees outside the city gate."

"what?"

As soon as Yang Zhijin's butt touched the stool, he stood up and shouted loudly.

"Yang Run, Yang Run."

"grown ups."

"Why didn't you tell me about the refugees at the city gate right away?"

Yang Run felt aggrieved after being scolded by his own young master. He looked at the man sitting in the main seat. How dare he disturb him?

"Sir, I..."

Yang Zhijin knew Yang Run’s concerns and waved his hand.

"Okay, let's go to the city gate and investigate."

"Yes."

Then Yang Zhijin turned his gaze to Li Mengyue. He knew that Li Mengyue was not talking about refugees for no reason, there must be something else.

Thinking of the locusts that have caused countless people headaches since ancient times, Li Mengyue turned decay into magic and killed more than 50% of them with an army of ducks.

His intuition told him that Li Mengyue would bring him more surprises regarding the refugees.

"Lord Yang, the refugees at the city gate are just the beginning. There will be a steady stream of refugees coming later. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

This was only said by Li Mengyue. If it was anyone else, Yang Zhijin would think that the other person had ulterior motives and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something.

However, based on Li Mengyue's experience in exterminating locusts, Yang Zhijin would unconsciously believe Li Mengyue.

"I wonder what Miss Li has to say?"

"No good idea, I just have some grain here that I can sell to the county government at a low price."

After listening to what Li Mengyue said, Yang Zhijin was a little disappointed. He thought Li Mengyue would have some good ideas and just sell him food.

He was clear about the harvest of Xinghua Village. Although it was not affected by the locust plague, the total grain harvested by the entire village was not enough to eat after paying the grain tax, and it was impossible to sell it at all.

The Li family had even less land, only three acres of dry land, and they planted soybeans instead of rice.

The yield of soybeans is not as good as that of rice, and the yield of three acres of soybeans will not be much.

Suddenly he thought of the more than 30,000 ducks. If he just sold all the ducks, even if he bought a large amount of grain at the current grain price, it would not solve the current problem.

Li Mengyue didn't know what Yang Zhijin was thinking. She was very anxious now. If she delayed for a moment longer, the victims would starve to death.

The most urgent task was to get the government to open the granaries and release grain as soon as possible to allow the victims at the city gate to survive temporarily. As for letting the victims survive, she already had an idea.

"How much food, and at what price?"

This question was not asked by Yang Zhijin, but by Xie Ruiyuan.

Li Mengyue looked at Xie Ruiyuan again at this time. She still didn't know the identity of the child's father.

However, seeing County Magistrate Yang's implicitly respectful attitude towards the child's father, she knew that the child's father's identity was not simple.

Maybe she can find a breakthrough from the child's father.

She had no choice but to find County Magistrate Yang, after all, she wanted to save all the refugees heading north.

Only someone with enough power can help her do this.

Asking County Magistrate Yang to help could only save the refugees who came to Wuning County. She could also talk to the local county magistrates in other counties, but it would still be troublesome.

Li Mengyue did not answer Xie Ruiyuan, but asked directly: "What is your identity?"

After Li Mengyue asked this question, Xie Ruiyuan didn't think there was anything wrong, but Yang Zhijin was extremely surprised.

He thought they knew each other, but he never expected that Li Mengyue didn't even know the identity of her friend.

That shouldn't be the case. As the daughter of the Prime Minister, she must have had many opportunities to attend palace banquets. How could she not have met the current Prince?

Even if her good friend was not in the capital in the past few years, the daughter of the prime minister should not be unaware of Prince Chen.

Just when Yang Zhijin was confused and couldn't figure it out, Xie Ruiyuan directly revealed his identity.

"My title is Chen."

"what!"

Li Mengyue was shocked by this sentence. The only prince with the title of Chen at present is the third prince.

So, she also raped a big shot.

When Xie Ruiyuan saw Li Mengyue's surprised expression, he felt that this was the right reaction.

It was because Li Mengyue was too calm every time he saw him, which made him doubt his own charm.

If he could win Li Mengyue's favor because of his status, he wouldn't mind at all. Li Mengyue was taking advantage of his status to bully others.

When Li Mengyue learned of Xie Ruiyuan's identity, she was shocked for a moment, but then she didn't think anything of it.

She didn't know why the imperial court didn't send anyone to provide disaster relief, allowing the refugees to reach Wuning County anyway. But she was very clear about one thing: this was her chance, a chance to collect enough gratitude points.
