Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

"Here, little brother, this is mung bean cake. It's for you." Yan Shuqin handed over a piece of mung bean cake and said with a generous smile.

"Really, are you really going to give it to me? I have no money..." The shepherd boy looked at the pastry in her hand in disbelief and was stunned.

Yan Canglan on the side waved his hand and said, "It's free, just eat."

The shepherd boy's eyes lit up instantly. He carefully took the mung bean cake from Yan Shuqin's hand and a shy but bright smile broke out on his face.

"Brother, look how happy he is." Yan Shuqin turned her head to look at Yan Canglan, her eyes full of tenderness and kindness.

Yan Canglan smiled slightly and glanced at the sunset on the hillside. He saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the golden rice fields, a peaceful and beautiful scene.

"Yes, sometimes, a little kindness can bring endless warmth to people." Yan Canglan said softly.

The shepherd boy ate mung bean cake while chatting with Yan Shuqin and Yan Canglan.

"My name is Tianbao, what's yours?" the shepherd boy asked curiously.

"My name is Yan Shuqin, and this is my brother Yan Canglan. We are from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion." Yan Shuqin replied.

"The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery? Wow, then you must be the children of a high-ranking official." Tianbao said in surprise.

Yan Canglan smiled gently and said, "Although we are born in a marquis's mansion, it does not mean that we are superior to others. Everyone is equal, Tianbao, what do you think?"

Tianbao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Well, I understand. Brother, you are such a good person."

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the setting sun slowly sank into the other side of the mountain, and the sky was gradually shrouded in night. Yan Shuqin looked at the sky and suddenly said, "Brother, look, the sunset today is so beautiful."

Yan Canglan looked up and saw the sky dyed orange-red, like a dream. He said with emotion: "Yes, the beauty of nature always makes people sigh."

Tianbao also looked up at the sky, his eyes sparkling: "Brother, sister, do you know? I think the sky is like a painting. It is different every day, and I have a new feeling every time I look at it."

Yan Shuqin smiled and asked, "What kind of weather do you like best?"

Tianbao thought for a moment and said, "I like sunny days because on sunny days, I can herd cattle and see the most beautiful sunset."

The three of them chatted as they strolled along the hillside. The night deepened and the stars began to twinkle.

……

Lu Yundi didn't even have time to eat lunch and called the village chief Zhao Guangyi over again.

This time I no longer treated him kindly.

He shouted, "Kneel down!"

Hearing the cold voice of "Kneel down!", Zhao Guangyi's body began to tremble involuntarily. It was a fear that went deep into his bones.

"Madam, what did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this?" Zhao Guangyi's voice trembled. He knelt on his knees with his head lowered almost touching the ground.

Lu Yundi looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disappointment and anger: "Zhao Guangyi, as the village chief, you dare to embezzle public funds and abuse your power. You are betraying the trust of the villagers!"

Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale in an instant. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. He knew in his heart that he was indeed wrong, but he also felt that he was not wrong enough to bear such a serious charge.

"Madam, I..." Zhao Guangyi was interrupted by Lu Yundi before he could finish his words.

"What do you mean? Are you talking back to me?" Lu Yundi's voice became even harsher. She widened her eyes and glared at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly shook his head: "Madam, I didn't contradict you, I just... I just have some doubts in my heart."

Lu Yundi sneered: "Doubt? Your doubt is your sophistry! Zhao Guangyi, do you know? Your behavior has violated the laws of our dynasty. You are courting your own destruction!"

Zhao Guangyi's body trembled even more violently. He closed his eyes tightly and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"Madam, I... I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept punishment." Zhao Guangyi finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse.

Lu Yundi looked at him, her eyes gradually changing from anger to sympathy. She sighed deeply, and then slowly said: "Zhao Guangyi, you know? The reason why you made such a mistake is because of your greed and ignorance. But you are also a part of Luoxia Village, and I can't watch you go to destruction."

Zhao Guangyi raised his head, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Madam, are you willing to give me a chance?"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly: "I can give you a chance, but you must promise me that from now on, you will not make the same mistake again."

Zhao Guangyi nodded hurriedly: "Madam, I promise you that I will definitely change my ways and never make the same mistake again."

……

At this time, the shepherd boy Tianbao returned home.

"Tianbao, you're back from herding cattle? Why do you look so distraught?"

A white-haired old woman was lying on the kang and saw Tianbao coming back from outside through the window.

Although Tianbao's steps were heavy, he still walked slowly into the house. His grandmother's words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the haze in his heart. He put down the rope in his hand, walked to the kang, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Grandma, I'm back." Tianbao answered in a low voice with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Grandma raised her head slightly, a trace of concern flashed in her eyes. She reached out and touched Tianbao's hair. Her dry hands seemed to be able to feel the uneasiness in his heart.

"Child, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unpleasant in the village?" Grandma asked softly, her tone full of love.

Tianbao lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Grandma, today I was herding cattle on the mountain and saw a fox. It seemed injured. I wanted to save it, but it ran away."

Grandma's expression softened a little. Tianbao had been kind-hearted since he was a child and was full of love for every living creature in the village.

"Tianbao, sometimes, not everything goes as we wish. The fox may have its own difficulties, and it doesn't want to be disturbed." Grandma comforted softly.

Tianbao raised his head, with doubt in his eyes: "Grandma, but I really want to help it. If it is really hurt, maybe I will lose a friend."

Grandma smiled, with a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes: "Tianbao, you know, sometimes you don't have to do it yourself to help others. You can go find the hunters in the village and ask them to help the fox."

Tianbao's eyes lit up, as if he had found a solution: "Grandma, you are right! I should go find the hunters, they must be able to save the fox."

Grandma nodded slightly, her eyes full of satisfaction: "That's right, child. Go ahead and do it. I believe you can do it."

Tianbao immediately stood up and prepared to go out, but his grandmother stopped him and said, "Tianbao, it's getting dark outside, you have to be careful."

Tianbao turned around, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Grandma, I will be careful. I will definitely do it well and come back to tell you."
