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

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 are right. Men can lie. Who knows if what Xie Ruiyuan said is true?]

[Host, it's definitely not the case. How could the King of Chen only have you as his 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 thought that in order to resolve the current dilemma, revealing his identity was the best option. This way, Li Mengyue would no longer have to endure other people's pointing and criticizing, and it would also prevent Li Mengyue from having bad romantic relationships.

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, given the benefits Li Mengyue brought to the seven villages, the seven village chiefs had reminded the villagers, so no one said it to her face.

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

Another thing, don’t think he doesn’t know that even if 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 them and their child, but also stop other people from having any thoughts of having a baby.

But once his identity was revealed, it would 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 directly related to the future fate of him, Li Mengyue and the children.

If he failed in the disaster relief work and failed to properly resettle the victims, the refugees would complain.

In order to survive, he was forced to revolt. It was uncertain whether he could keep his position as 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 has reported to the police that there is a group of people fighting in Xinghua Village. What is going on?"

Soon the person who was speaking appeared among the crowd. Village chief Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the county magistrate coming with a group of yamen runners.

Once the county magistrate arrived, he believed that the food in the seven villages could be preserved and there was no need to worry about it being taken away by Zhulin Village and Mr. Liu.

Although they bought the grain from Li Mengyue at two cents per pound, and Master Liu paid them the original price, they were unwilling to do so and did not want to sell the grain at all.

Not to mention the locust plague this year, which has brought countless refugees to the county, 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 what kind of grain it was, 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 them?

The key is that they replaced all the food with coarse grains, and they had to budget carefully and eat sparingly every day. If it were refined grains, they would not last until the autumn harvest next year.

This is always the case during years of bumper harvests, let alone this year's locust plague, which makes the situation even more grim.

But they were very lucky. Xinghua Village had Li Mengyue. Since they were close to Xinghua Village, they were also included in Li Mengyue's circle of friends. Usually, they had a share of any good things, instead of being monopolized by Xinghua Village.

This was the case with the previous locust trade and with going to other counties to help kill locusts. They took advantage of the situation and went from being unable to eat to having some savings.

The villagers in the seven villages are all aware of these changes, and they are all brought about by Li Mengyue.

If it weren't for Li Mengyue, these people would not be able to save any money. They would have to exhaust all their energy just to fill their stomachs, and even that might not be possible.

Therefore, not only his family, but all the villagers in the seven villages were extremely grateful to Li Mengyue in their hearts.

Otherwise, when Li Mengyue proposed to build a reservoir and dig a river, they would unconditionally support and highly cooperate.

You have to know that the reservoir that Li Mengyue asked everyone to build is really too big. He can't imagine how much water such a large reservoir can store after it is completed.

However, he knew that not only the fields in the entire Qingshan Town would no longer have to worry about droughts and floods, but the same would apply to other towns as well. If it were to expand further, perhaps the fields of the people in Wuning County would also benefit from it.

You can imagine how big the reservoir to be built is.

A reservoir of this size is no small project. Even if the villagers from seven villages worked day and night, it would be impossible to complete it within two months, not to mention that there is still a river channel to be dug.

The seven village chiefs knew it, and the villagers understood it in their hearts, but no one questioned it.

The root cause lies in Li Mengyue. They believe that reservoir construction and river digging seem to be impossible, but in Li Mengyue's hands, it will not be a big problem. All they have to do is cooperate.

Whatever Li Mengyue asked them to do, they just had to do it conscientiously without thinking too much. They could make money and have enough to eat, which was exactly the good life they had always dreamed of. How could they possibly cause trouble for Li Mengyue?

The key point is that Li Mengyue even considered the issue of refugees for them and proposed to form a patrol team.

To be honest, he and the other six village heads all knew the importance of the patrol team, but they also knew that if everyone was not well fed, no one would take out a lot of time to join the patrol team.

As a result, Li Mengyue helped them solve the problem without saying a word, saying that she had grain and could sell it to the villagers at a low price.

Since it was said to be a low price, he thought it would be around ten cents, but he never expected it to be only two cents.

Such a low price is almost like giving it away for free, because he knows that the food Li Mengyue was talking about must be fine grain.

The price of refined grain has always been high. The grain store in town charges five cents per pound. In this year, the price has risen to twenty cents.

The price Li Mengyue gave was two cents, which was like giving it away for free.

Even so, even if they wanted to buy more food, they could not come up with enough silver.

Another thing is that they also need to be sensible. They can't just buy whatever Li Mengyue says without thinking.

Besides, even if they wanted to buy it, they didn’t have that much money.
