The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"My queen, His Highness is still worried about Yan Changhuai's matter. Do you really want him to continue looking for him?"

In Fengyi Palace, Nanny Du gave the Queen a massage with expert movements while reporting what was happening in the Eastern Palace.

The queen closed her beautiful eyes and lay on the chaise longue in a relaxed manner. Her voice sounded a bit lazy, "Let Qing'er find someone if he wants. As for me, the matter of Ganquan Palace has been resolved. As for Yan Changhuai, no matter what happens to him, I will not take it to heart, so as to avoid Qing'er and me being alienated. Besides, I have to show some favor to the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Du swallowed back the words she was about to say.

If you don't remove the roots of the grass, there may be trouble in the future.

But the image of those innocent children in Yuxi Village suddenly flashed through my mind, and I softened my heart in the end.

The second prince, Yan Changhuai, is about the same age as the other children. His temperament is completely different from that of his mother, Yao Xinya. He is obedient and docile.

Never mind... She is just a servant and has to follow the orders of her master.

"I'm afraid that if Your Highness continues to look, it will only lead to disappointment." Nanny Du sighed.

The child had been missing for so many days, and both the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and even the already desolate Earl of Expedition had ordered people to search vigorously for him. Unfortunately, no one had been able to find any clues, let alone any trace of the child.

I’m just afraid that the child is no longer alive.

The hall was quiet for a moment.

The Queen's eyes slightly opened a slit, and she tilted her head and said calmly, "Has the family he was fostered in been punished?"

"He has been punished. The person Cui Jing entrusted this time was too unreliable. After the incident, I went to investigate myself and found out that he found a wife who was sweet-mouthed but bitter-hearted. When he took the money, he said all kinds of nice things, but turned around and used those market-oriented tricks to torture people."

Madam Du snorted, "There are two people in the family. The man was sentenced to labor service, and the woman was sent to feed pigs. Let her have a taste of what it's like to carry a load of manure."

The queen closed her eyes again and turned her head back, "Let her go and pour the night incense."

Aunt Du almost stuttered, "...Yes!"

The missing person notice was posted all over the streets and alleys of the imperial city overnight, and was sent to all states and cities at an extremely fast speed.

The people sent out from the imperial city to search are also continuing to carry out orders.

But the result remained the same as before, and no good news came.

Time is like an hourglass.

The house for drying grain in Yuxi Village has been built.

The village's safflower has already sold three crops.

The rice in the fields at the entrance of the village has already formed ears of rice.

Prosperous and peaceful years.

The topics of conversation among the women in the village changed again and again, from the death of a madman in Shangdong Village to the missing person portraits posted all over the town, with endless sighs and lamentations.

"Who could have imagined that this would be the end? He was lame, and he stole other people's wine to drink. He got drunk and fell into a ditch in the middle of the night. When he was seen by passers-by at dawn, he was already dead."

"God couldn't bear to see such a wicked man, so he was taken away. There's nothing to pity, it's all his own fault."

"Have you seen the missing person notices in town? I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered them to be posted. It's been so long, and I don't know if he has found the person yet."

"The notice has been posted for so long. I've been to the market in town more than once or twice, so it's no wonder I saw it. It's said to be the second prince of the dynasty..."

"Sometimes I really feel that although we are ordinary people with low status, we have a stable life. Apart from three meals a day, we have no other worries. We live more freely than those big shots."

"That's right, our Yuxi Village is still the best. I don't envy those rich people at all now, hahaha! Now when we go out and say that we are from Yuxi Village, many people will envy us instead!"

The Lin family yard is always bustling with activity every day.

Nowadays, every household in the village is living a better and better life. With their medicinal land, they can earn a few taels of silver every month. The rice grown in their own paddy fields is enough for self-sufficiency. They don't sell the surplus, but give some to their relatives.

Abundance, security, and indescribable satisfaction.

Walking from one end of the village to the other, you can’t see a single sad face, only smiling faces.

It also makes the viewer feel brighter.

Xiao Xingwei and Zhang Cui'e were busy in the kitchen, listening to the chatter about various topics in the main hall and under the eaves, and were amused from time to time.

"The village is stable, and the workshops are not bad either." Looking at Zhang Cui'e, Xiao Xing smiled and said, "The Jin family has already selected several small workshops for cooperation, and outsourced some of the complicated processes on hand. The number of workers in the workshops has been greatly reduced, and the wages and benefits remain the same--"

"Tsk, you're a good person, but you always like to beat around the bush. Can't you just say it directly? Don't you just want to ask me if I'm sad?"

Zhang Cui'e rolled her eyes and said carelessly, "Zhang Shiming, that bastard, told Aunt Li and the others that it was his own fault. There is no sympathy for his fate, and I don't sympathize with him either. I heard that the old lady of the Zhang family was beaten a while ago, and I felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she gave birth to me, and no matter how cruel and hateful they are, I can't feel happy... But this doesn't mean that I will forgive what they have done. One thing is one thing."

Xiao Xingwei laughed at her sister-in-law's explanation.

She was indeed worried that her sister-in-law was in a bad mood, but she never suspected anything.

People and feelings cannot be explained in a few words.

Many outsiders said that what happened to the old lady of the Zhang family was retribution, but Cui'e did not gloat over it or add insult to injury, which just shows that she has good character.

The fact that she could clearly distinguish one thing from another also showed that she had a clear mind.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is just over half a month away. Whatever mooncakes with whatever fillings you want to eat, I'll make more for you." Xiao Xingwei changed the subject.

The sister-in-law immediately came over like a sticky candy. She was so grown-up that she could act like a spoiled child and flatter anyone without any shame. "It's true that they say the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother! Sister-in-law, you love me as much as my mother does! I want to eat ham filling! And five-nut filling!"

Xiao Xing smiled slightly and pretended to push the person away with a finger, "Okay, ham and five-nut ones. Move aside a little, you are so old and still stick to me like this. If Aunt Li sees you, the whole village will laugh at you tomorrow."

Zhang Cui'e is not afraid of this. She is loved by others, so why should she be afraid of being laughed at?

The children who were having a lot of fun playing in the sand pile in the back room also had something to talk about.

Jin Duobao bit into the red peaches he had picked from his uncle's courtyard, making a continuous crunching sound. "This season's account book made my father laugh so hard that he almost lost his eyesight. Uncle Gan from Yuanzhou specially added meat and vegetables to the canteen, and also sent two pigs to Anxinyuan. I guess they all got a lot of dividends. Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Fu, and Uncle Zhuo also allocated some money to Anxinyuan, so that the elderly and children in Anxinyuan can have a lively festival."

Lin Huaibai also had gossip, "Grandpa Xu complained several times that he was too busy and had more and more cases. He said that he couldn't handle ten lawsuits at the same time, and his old bones couldn't run anymore, so he wanted to give up, hahaha!"

"I'm not giving up, I'm looking for a disciple." Bai Xiang shook his head and corrected, "Brother Changqing is right. Look, Grandpa Xu is ready to recruit disciples!"
