The magistrate suddenly had an idea. The girl had no identity certificate, but her fiancé could be her guarantor. As long as they got a marriage contract, her household registration could be changed to Dashan Village, thus solving the girl's household registration problem.

How could a person who could be trafficked twice be a spy for another country?

Which country's emperor is so stupid as to send such a stupid person to gather information?

He called his lawyer over, and the two of them discussed it for a while. They both felt that this plan was feasible, but it had to wait until the trafficking case was over.

Xiaohuai Village is a bit far from the county town. The yamen runners rode there on horseback, and it took almost two hours to go back and forth. Therefore, the magistrate proposed to temporarily adjourn the court for retrial.

Xin Ye would not miss this opportunity and led Yan Yiyi to chase after him.

"Please stay, sir. I have something to ask you."

The magistrate and the lawyer looked at each other. They guessed their purpose. The magistrate nodded and said, "Let's talk in the back hall."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Xin Ye turned to look at Yan Yiyi and raised his eyebrows, as if to say: See, I was right, the magistrate is a good person.

Yan Yiyi nodded. The magistrate looked very serious. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties with ordinary looks, but he had been an official for more than ten years and had an aura of authority.

She did not sense any malice from the magistrate and the legal advisor, and they handled the case fairly, impartially and openly. It was just that when they encountered some powerful people, they had a scale in their hearts, so they did not confront them head-on and tried their best to protect the innocent victims.

Just like her and the boss of Yihonglou.

They knew in their hearts that she was an innocent victim, but the fact was that she had no identification, and they could not cover up for her. The owner of Yihonglou was probably a person of some power, and when she saw them, she frowned and looked unhappy.

How easy is it for a small county magistrate and a legal advisor to defeat an enemy who is more powerful than themselves?

She could understand their helplessness and frustration.

I also admire them for their willingness to make sacrifices for the people and for doing their best to protect the people's safe lives.

In fact, if you think about it, she and the owner of Yihonglou would not have reached the point of a life-and-death feud. The owner was just running a business, even though his methods were a bit dirty. She was just unlucky to have fallen into a den of wolves.

However, she knows her own limitations. She has nothing now, and she needs capital to talk about justice and revenge.

Emm... She doesn't think she is a person with correct values, so justice has nothing to do with her.

She was just holding a grudge. Killing or not killing the owner of Yihonglou was not the most urgent issue to be resolved at the moment. It could be put off until later. One day when she ran into him by chance or went to Liangguan County, she would meet him and vent her anger.

The most urgent task now is to deal with her household registration. She became inexplicably nervous, wondering whether the two would believe her story of collusion with Li Xinye.

The magistrate asked the two of them to sit on the stool because Li Xinye had difficulty walking. The two thanked him with a smile and sat down directly, as if the two people in front of them were not adults who could control their fate, but their own elders.

Their reaction gave the county magistrate and the legal advisor a label in their impression of them: little experience and no understanding of the ways of the world.

"Sir, I...I would like to ask, how can I get my fiancée's household registration done?" Li Xinye looked at the magistrate expectantly, as if he regarded him as a master who could point him in the right direction.

The magistrate was scorched by his scorching gaze, but he did not make things difficult for the two of them: "She has lost her memory and does not remember the past. You have not heard from her family for a long time, so it is difficult to find her ancestral home.

I have a suggestion. Since you are an engaged couple, why don’t you get a marriage contract first? I can re-register her for her household registration and re-apply for her small identity badge.”

Li Xinye's face lit up: "Okay! Thank you, sir!"

After being happy, he turned to look at Yan Yiyi and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for having to marry a useless person like me."

Yan Yiyi quickly took over the role, shook her head and looked at him with emotion: "I don't feel wronged. You are the only one I have now. Thank you for accepting me who has forgotten everything."

The two middle-aged men were very happy to see the young couple loving each other, and they all congratulated them on their wedding.

The two of them lowered their heads pretending to be shy, glanced at each other secretly, and then accepted their congratulations generously.

The magistrate turned to his lawyer and said, "Arnold, the case of Widow Li's trafficking will be closed after the trial. You should first arrange for their marriage contract and Miss Yan's new household registration, so that they can return home and cultivate their relationship."

The master smiled and said, "Okay!"

Then he stood up and said to them, "Come with me."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, master!" The two stood up and thanked him repeatedly.

After a cup of tea, their marriage contract and Yan Yiyi's household registration certificate were freshly produced. The two once again thanked the master profusely.

Widow Li still needed to wait for a while, so the lawyer asked them to go out for lunch first and come back to the government office in the afternoon.

After bidding farewell to their lawyer, Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi left the government office.

"Coo~"

Yan Yiyi touched her stomach awkwardly and looked up at Xin Ye beside her pitifully: "I'm hungry~"

"Come on, I'll take you to the restaurant to eat something good."

Yan Yiyi smiled and said, "Is this a celebration of our wedding?"

"Not really," Xin Ye said decisively, "We have to hold a banquet to celebrate our wedding. Oh, and we also have to buy some wedding supplies. We have to hold the banquet as soon as possible, otherwise you moving in will cause criticism."

"But haven't we already obtained the marriage contract?"

"Country people only care about wedding banquets. Most of them are illiterate. Most people in the village get married by holding wedding banquets instead of going to the government to formally register for marriage contracts."

Yan Yiyi was too tired to complain, never mind, it was none of her business anyway, as long as they were a legal couple.

"Do you have any good friends in the village?"

Xin Ye shook his head: "Yes, but only a few people, not many."

"Then please ask a few respected elders in the village, the village chief, and those people we are on good terms with to show some appreciation."

Xin Ye frowned and looked at her in confusion: "Have you been wronged?"

"No, if you hadn't asked me to hold a banquet, I wouldn't have bothered to do it. It's too much trouble to entertain people I don't know."

Xin Ye was silent. Respecting his wife was one of the "male virtues". Since she was not happy about it, he would not force her. It happened that he did not like it either.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes. Yan Yiyi finished all the food on the table like a starving ghost, and touched her slightly bulging belly with satisfaction.

Xin Ye looked at the empty bowls and plates with only vegetable juice left, and looked at her belly in shock. At this moment, he realized one thing clearly - this woman ate more than him!

No wonder he is so strong.

The family’s almost depleted savings should be able to support her for a while, right?
