The next morning, the sunlight burned half the sky red. It had rained last night, and the air was moist and salty, and the green was rich and moist.

Aunt Ma went to the stream to wash clothes as usual. Logically speaking, she now had a large sum of money given by He Yue, so she didn't need to work so hard. However, she was reluctant to spend it. She planned to save it to build a few more rooms in her house and marry her son to a girl from the county.

She actually felt sorry for it. People are always greedy. Ma even wondered why Mrs. He was a widow. Otherwise, what she wanted would not be silver. If Mrs. He married her son, everything would belong to her family!

Today was a little unusual. Many people in the village were peeking at the door. Aunt Ma put down the wooden basin in her hand and looked into the distance in the direction of their gaze.

I saw a huge group of people coming to the village, carrying betrothal gifts hung with red silk. The person accompanying them was not the matchmaker but the county magistrate. What a surprise! The county magistrate was the ceremonial officer!

The one riding the horse in the lead was Master He, who was dressed in solemn black clothes with intricate and elegant patterns, and had an extremely outstanding appearance.

"Which girl has married Mr. He's rich family? Lijia Village is going to produce a noble man!" Aunt Ma asked blankly. She went through all the unmarried girls in the village in her mind, but still had no clue.

It's not that she didn't think about the recent rumors in the village, but Mrs. He was an old widow, and the wealthy family would never be willing to give up her position as the principal wife.

At this time, Auntie Ma was not the only one by the stream. An old lady who was washing clothes by the stream snorted and laughed, "What girl? It's Madam He. She is born to be a noble person! Look, she has been living in our Lijia Village for only a few months, and she hasn't suffered any hardship, but she is flying high again!"

Madam Ma took a closer look and saw that the betrothal team was heading towards He Yue's house. She clasped her hands together and said in a strange tone, "A man like Mr. He is willing to marry Madam He as his principal wife? He even invited the county magistrate to help her."

"Ouch! Where does your unreasonable sourness come from?" The lady washing clothes laughed sarcastically and rubbed the clothes. The mocking look made Aunt Ma feel uncomfortable all over.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Madam He? Oh, right! I forgot, you asked Madam He for a hundred taels of silver, and you cut off the relationship with her a long time ago. You can't get close to her in the future, isn't it jealous!"

"You!" Aunt Ma's face turned red, but she couldn't argue, so she squatted down and brought the wooden basin. She left angrily without even washing her clothes.

The scene was so huge that He Yue heard it all clearly. It was impossible for her to say that she didn't have any thoughts of escaping, but she had to agree to it.

Moreover, ever since she came into this world, she has been receiving Ning Rushong's kindness. She can't just walk away. If she leaves, she will feel that she is a person without conscience and morals, a complete liar who only accepts favors but does not repay them!

After He Yue did the math, she felt as if she had gotten the better deal. Ning Rushong was rich, powerful, and had a face that she coveted.

Made a fortune?

There was a knock on the door, and a clear and dignified male voice came into He Yue's ears, "Miss He, I'm here to propose marriage!"

He Yue opened the door and faced Ning Rushong who had just dismounted from his horse. He was holding a wooden box in his hand, and behind him was a team of servants carrying betrothal gifts. Further away was a group of villagers who were watching the fun.

"Today is exactly the sixth day." Ning Rusong and He Yue entered the backyard house. "In fact, the title deed arrived on the fifth day, but I couldn't just bring it here, so I made some preparations."

Bai Huixian was talking about congratulations and betrothal gifts in the front yard, "Today is a good day, and the family is full of auspiciousness!... I have specially prepared betrothal gifts, a thousand taels of gold, a pair of royal blue hairpins with kingfisher feathers,..."

The servants led by Guard Zhang carried the betrothal gifts into the courtyard, shocking the villagers. Did Mr. He spend all his family fortune to give to Mrs. He? !

Aunt Fang exclaimed, "I don't think Madam He and Master He will stay in our small village for long."

Aunt Fang's daughter didn't think too much about it. She was just sad that she would no longer be able to get money from the He family and Madam He.

…………

In the room, He Yue and Ning Rusong stood face to face. The wooden box on the table was opened. Not only was there the title deed of Liu's Rouge Shop in Min County, but also other territories. He Yue was shocked. "Duke Liu is willing to do this? Are you a prince?"

Doubts emerged between her beautiful eyebrows, and her heart began to tremble with impatience. The matter was done, and she had to find out about his life experience clearly.

Ning Rushong had no intention of hiding his identity. He held He Yue's hand in his palm. His attitude was too natural and frank. "My last name is Ning, and my mother's last name is He. I am the only legitimate son of my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."

There was endless tenderness in his tone. He had been tossing and turning these days, always doubting that things would not go smoothly. Joy and fear swept over him by turns, and the worrying thoughts of gain and loss kept him from sleeping.

Only when he got the land deed did he feel relieved. He thought that everything was settled.

His love was so deep that he couldn't control himself. He was a humble man begging for mercy in front of He Yue. He suppressed his nature fiercely and pulled out his sharp claws. Only then did he get the chance to lie on her lap and gasp for life.

Father, mother, and legitimate son! He Yue's mind went blank for a moment. She swayed for a moment, pulled her hand out of his palm, propped it on the table, and fell silent.

Waves of shock surged in her heart, and He Yue didn't recover for a long time. She sat on the stool and said helplessly, "The legitimate son of the empress, then you are the crown prince!"

Everything was too absurd, everything in the past was completely overturned, who would have thought that Ning Rusong was the crown prince? !

He Yue always thought that Ning Rushong was an ordinary royal relative. He was very gentle in front of He Yue and didn't have any airs of a superior. Even Bai Huixian still had some self-restrained pride.

She got scared, stood up, hurriedly closed the wooden box on the table and stuffed it into Ning Rusong's arms, forcing a smile, "If you were really the prince, why would you really marry me as your principal wife? Forget it, take the betrothal gifts too. I'm a coward and can't afford to be scared by you!"

She had just arrived in this world for more than two months and had never been anywhere except Min County. In her eyes, the most powerful official was the county magistrate, and below him were some petty officials who relied on their power to gain power. Suddenly a prince appeared, like a real dragon sneaking into a loach pond, skipping even the stages of snake and dragon, it was so bizarre!

Ning Rusong approached her, leaned down, and almost pulled He Yue into his arms. Both of their hearts were beating rapidly. "You are my legal wife, Yueyue. How can I bear to let you be my concubine!"

"You have come to this world and landed in front of me. I wish I could give you my heart. No suffering will ever come near you again. You just need to enjoy the wealth of the world at ease."
