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

Huang Shiren was furious when he saw that housekeeper Qian, who usually bowed and scraped in front of him, did not answer his questions immediately.

However, after hearing what Butler Qian said, he quickly turned his head and looked at Li Mengyue.

"You are a fake daughter from the capital, my eighteenth concubine. I am your man, how dare you hurt me."

Li Mengyue originally wanted to watch a dog-eat-dog scene, but one of the dogs went crazy and bit herself.

This made her feel really sick, and without caring about Magistrate Yang and other people at the scene, she walked straight up and gave Huang Shiren a beating, making the injuries on his body even more serious.

There was no hope of treatment before, but now even the road to despair is blocked.

"Ah! What are you doing? You are my eighteenth concubine, hurry up and help your master up. I tell you, the master is fine this time, and I will make sure you have a good life in the future."

Hearing Huang Shiren say this, Li Mengyue moved faster.

"I asked you to speak, and I asked you to speak, but you still don't want to speak anymore."

No matter it was Magistrate Yang, the yamen runners or Steward Qian, they all shuddered unconsciously when they saw Li Mengyue kicking someone.

"It's brutal, so brutal."

After a while, Huang Shiren rolled on the ground in pain and had no strength to speak.

County Magistrate Yang was watching with great interest at first, but when he saw that the little girl showed no sign of coming down, he worried that she might be beaten to death.

So he walked forward and pulled Li Mengyue, who was kicking happily, away.

"Okay, just vent your anger, but don't beat him to death."

Li Mengyue saw someone pulling her, and she pushed the person aside with force.

Suddenly he remembered that the voice of the person speaking was familiar. Then he realized that he had kicked the person too hard and pushed County Magistrate Yang to the ground. Then he realized that he might have caused trouble.

He hurriedly helped Magistrate Yang up and apologized without much sincerity: "Magistrate Yang, I'm sorry."

County Magistrate Yang had no intention of blaming Li Mengyue. After all, if it weren't for her, he would not have been able to solve the case of missing girls that had been piling up in the county for decades.

You should know that since he came to Wuning County to take office two months ago, after the handover, when he checked the files, he found that young girls went missing in the county every year. The families who lost their daughters reported the case to the authorities, but in the end, nothing was done.

During his visit, he found that the landlord Huang, who often married wives and concubines, was very suspicious.

Not to mention that the sound of women screaming was often heard from the Huang Mansion, and corpses were also carried out of the Huang Mansion.

The residents around the Huang Mansion knew that Huang Shiren was cruel and ruthless, so they didn't dare to say much about this matter. It took him a lot of effort to get a clearer understanding from a night watchman.

Recently, it was also reported that Huang Shiren was willing to spend one hundred taels of silver to take eighteen concubines.

He knew that Wuning County was very poor and many people could not even get enough food to eat. Many people would be tempted by the one hundred taels of silver offered by Huang Shiren.

However, the price Huang Shiren offered was high and his requirements were not low either. It was basically impossible for the daughters of ordinary people to meet his requirements.

Seeing that there was no progress in the case, he originally thought of borrowing the lemon from his good friend and lurking around Huang Shiren to see if he could find some clues.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished writing the letter to borrow someone, his personal servant Yang Run returned to the county government office and told him what happened in the Huang Mansion and the abnormalities in the Peony Garden.

He immediately selected people to go with him to Huang's house to arrest the man, and he was not disappointed.

But even though the case was solved, he was not happy at all. After all, the corpses lying on the ground were once living beings.

But due to Huang Shiren's selfishness, her life was frozen in her most beautiful years.

"Someone, take Huang Shiren away."

"Yes, my lord."

The yamen runners who came with him were all locals. They were very familiar with the case of the missing girl. They were very excited that the murderer had been caught this time, and they all actively stepped forward to capture Huang Shiren.

The moment Huang Shiren saw Butler Qian being arrested, he knew very well that it would be difficult to escape today.

You have to know that since Rouer betrayed him, he tortured the first woman to death and felt the long-lost happiness from it. When he was unable to extricate himself from it, he knew that he was exposed and that he would not have a good ending.

But so what? Without Rouer and after his parents passed away, he could no longer find his life goal and didn't know what the point of living was.

But now he regretted it very much. Today, on such a great day for taking a concubine, he couldn't help but hang out with Xier and then took her to the dark room.

Otherwise, if he saw the appearance of the Eighteenth Concubine, he would definitely not care about Xier's light porridge and side dishes.

After all, there are delicious delicacies in front of you, so you should taste them first.

What he didn't expect was that after playing with women for so many years, he actually fell for a woman.

Huang Shiren knew that he was powerless this time, so he did not resist the arrest of the yamen runners. Of course, even if he wanted to escape, he had to stand up first.

But when the bailiffs were about to take Huang Shiren back to the county jail, Xier ran out from somewhere with a hairpin in her hand, attempting to use it to end Huang Shiren's life and avenge her sister's tragic death.

At the critical moment, Li Mengyue grabbed Xier in time and prevented Xier from going down the path of no return.

When Xier saw that it was the girl who saved her, she reached out and held her hand. Tears started to flow again. She cried and said to Li Mengyue, "Girl, I want to kill him with my own hands to avenge my sister."

"Huang Shiren has harmed so many people. The law will punish him and he will not have a good ending. This kind of beast is not worthy of you dirtying your hands."

When Xier saw her enemy being taken away, she squatted down and burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry out for all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time.

But no matter what, her sister would never come back.

"What should I do? My sister is gone. I don't know what's the point of living anymore."

It's okay for Li Mengyue to kill people, but comforting people is really not her strong point. Just as she was racking her brains to think of how to tell Xier, County Magistrate Yang came over.

"You can go to the Fushan Hall in the county first. There are many homeless people there. Go there and help take care of the young children. I believe you will find the answer there."

After deciding where Xier was going, Li Mengyue thought of some poor women in the quiet courtyard.

"Master Yang, there are more than 20 women living in the Jingyuan of the Huang Mansion. Can you temporarily arrange for them to live in the Fushan Hall you mentioned?"

Ever since County Magistrate Yang heard about the fake daughter from the capital, combined with what he had heard about the real and fake daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he left the capital, he vaguely guessed the girl's identity.

If his guess was correct, the girl who helped him solve the case was Yun Mengyue, the fake daughter of the prime minister who ran off with a beggar.

Interesting, interesting.

He originally thought that choosing to be the county magistrate in Wuning County would be boring, but now it seems that there will be unexpected gains.

Li Mengyue didn't know that County Magistrate Yang was thinking so actively, so she went to Jingyuan and prepared to bring out all the women living there.

The reason why she went there in person was because the young man who had led her there before had already been there once.

Seeing that there was no one behind him, I knew that the women who had been hurt by Huang Shiren no longer believed in men and were unwilling to follow him.

But she couldn't take all these women to Xinghua Village. The best place for them at the moment was the Fushan Hall in the county, which could provide them with temporary shelter.

Li Mengyue walked to Jingyuan again and saw these women were crazy or stupid. She still couldn't accept it calmly.

The woman sitting under the eaves felt relieved when she saw the little girl who had left earlier come back safely, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

“If you have the chance to leave, why not leave and come back.”

"Huang Shiren will not have a good ending if he is arrested. You can leave now."

When Li Mengyue heard what she said, the sound of a woman crying was suddenly heard in the yard. Even the woman who had gone crazy started to cry loudly when she saw others crying.

It seems that every woman here hates Huang Shiren, but they are alone and weak and cannot take revenge at all.

They could only watch their enemy wantonly harming innocent women, and now that his enemy has finally been brought to justice, how could they not be happy.

After a quarter of an hour, the crying gradually became quieter.

Li Mengyue saw that everyone's emotions had gradually calmed down, and then she spoke: "You have two choices now, you can go home, or go to the Fushan Hall in the county."

As soon as the voice fell, someone whispered: "I don't want to go home. My parents sold me for twenty taels of silver. The moment they sold me, I lost my parents."

"I don't want to go home either. A woman like me who has been abused by others, if I return to the village, if I'm lucky, I'll be forced to marry a widower and become someone's stepmother. If I'm unlucky, I'll be buried alive."

Then another woman said: "Although I was deceived and my parents love me very much, I really can't accept myself now. If I go back, my parents will be criticized by others, and my two younger brothers' marriages will also be affected."

……

Li Mengyue sought opinions from everyone who was still conscious, except those who were already crazy or stupid.

We found more than 20 people, and none of them wanted to go home.

It seems that this era is really harsh on women. It is already miserable enough that these women have been hurt.

But if I go back home, I will suffer even greater psychological torture.

She saved these poor women because she wanted them to be able to live better after suffering the injustice of fate, rather than returning home and continuing to live a hard life.

Therefore, she respected the opinions of the women in Jingyuan and took them to see County Magistrate Yang.

County Magistrate Yang also promised to make good arrangements for these women, and only then did Li Mengyue return to Xinghua Village with peace of mind.
