Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

When Jiang Chuchu said this, she deliberately raised her voice. When the tenants heard this, their eyes towards Jiang Lige immediately changed.

It is believed that Jiang Lige disregards the lives of tenants for the sake of his own face.

Jiang Lige looked at Jiang Chuchu in astonishment. This was the first time he had contradicted her in public, but...

This also shows that after several setbacks, Jiang Chuchu began to get anxious.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige smiled and explained.

"It's great that Chuchu wants to stand up for everyone, but I'm not just doing this for face, I'm doing this for the good of everyone."

One of the tenants curled her lips and muttered quietly, "Just letting go is for everyone's good? That doesn't make sense."

Another man chimed in, "Exactly. They said they'd make the decision for us, but what happened? It was all just wishful thinking on our part!"

Jiang Lige didn't answer, and the tenants started arguing more and more fiercely. Rong Hui was sensitive about her reputation, so she blushed first and tugged at Jiang Lige's sleeve.

"How about we go to the government office together tomorrow? Otherwise, there will be no way to end this!"

Ning Luyang frowned and stopped the increasingly excited crowd. His eyes swept across Jiang Chuchu's face with a hint of impatience.

Just when everyone was arguing fiercely, Jiang Lige raised a booklet and spoke in a cold voice.

"The Princess owns over ten estates, five of which are under the jurisdiction of Zhang Shu. Tomorrow, Zhang Shu will appear before the government for trial. Once word of his trial spreads, someone will immediately collect evidence on his behalf regarding the other estates that have not yet been investigated.

Once these incriminating evidences are disposed of, they become difficult to obtain. This means that we have no evidence to punish the evildoers, and those who have not been thoroughly eliminated will continue to act as accomplices to the evildoers in the farm and harm the tenants.

Anyone who has run in the rain should understand the pain of being wet. You have been saved, but many tenants are still being persecuted by evil people. Now, I will give you the right to choose.

First, tomorrow we will accompany everyone to the yamen to seek justice for everyone; second, we will start sorting out the account books tonight. While the Eighth Master leads everyone to the county yamen tomorrow, we will split up and clean out all the evil servants in the farm one by one."

As soon as the words were spoken, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down again.

As Jiang Lige said, because they share the same fate, no one can understand other persecuted tenants better than them.

How could they be so selfish as to see others sinking into a quagmire and then viciously step on them?

"Princess, choose two. We will go to the government office ourselves."

The responses went from whispers that were barely audible to the dust to loud shouts, and Rong Hui and the others felt relieved.

"In that case, I would like to thank you all on behalf of the other tenants."

Jiang Lige did not take credit for it. After saying this softly, he changed the subject and pointed his finger at the lady and man who had just taken the lead in making a fuss.

"Come on, arrest these two and send them to the government office together tomorrow!"

The old lady was panicked and struggled to question Jiang Lige.

"Why are you arresting me? You are desperate! You are taking human life lightly!"

Jiang Lige curled his lips slightly, "You and Zhang Shu and others are in cahoots. Is it true that no one knows about this? As for whether you are guilty or not, we will know in court tomorrow."

The tenants then realized that they had been used by these two people, and the reason why Jiang Lige deliberately did not respond before was to find out the "traitor" among the tenants.

Suddenly, the tenants' views on the two changed, and they also looked at Jiang Chuchu with displeasure.

Jiang Chuchu reacted and whispered with tears in her eyes.

"I didn't know you had so many plans. I hope you won't blame me."

What she meant was that Jiang Lige deliberately hid the truth from her and didn't treat her as an outsider.

Isn't it just a show? Jiang Lige thought he was not bad.

Therefore, Jiang Lige's aggrieved expression was evident when he heard this, and he shook his head with red eyes.

"My sister and I have been close since childhood, so why would I deliberately hide this from you? Well, let's not talk about this anymore. My sister is young and naturally can't be so thoughtful."

Jiang Lige is now a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the tenants. Seeing her so aggrieved, they couldn't help but spit at Jiang Chuchu.

"This stupid person blames others for being too smart. It seems that only fools can be teased in this world!"

Jiang Chuchu blushed at the overly direct sarcasm. She was about to continue her performance with tears in her eyes, but she saw Jiang Lige supporting Princess Rong Hui and walking towards the farm.

As he passed by Ning Luyang, he sighed and explained.

"Chu Chu is still young. My words just now did not intend to offend Master Ba. Please don't blame me."

In one sentence, he said just enough and left without looking back.

This may seem like an explanation, but in fact it has planted a trust barrier between the two people that cannot be touched.

Jiang Chuchu had missed the best opportunity to refute, and the tenants also dispersed in twos and threes. She raised her eyes and set her gaze on Ning Luyang.

Ning Luyang's eyes no longer held the pity they once had, but instead contained a hint of ambiguity.

Jiang Chuchu, who was used to admiring gazes, could not stand Ning Luyang's attitude. She did not care about whether it was appropriate or not, and stepped forward with red eyes to question him.

"You think I'm wrong too? Stupid?"

Ning Luyang raised his eyes and saw that everyone around him had left, leaving only the two of them, so he spoke without holding back.

"I just think that your hostility towards Zhao Hua is too strong. It wouldn't be good if others saw it."

"Zhaohua? When did you two become so intimate? Is it because it's not good for others to see, or is it because you feel sad for seeing it?"

"You are being unreasonable!"

Jiang Chuchu burst into tears. "It turns out that my love is just unreasonable in the Eighth Master's heart! That's right! She is the noble princess, and I am just a nobody who is not loved by my father and mother. How can I expect the Eighth Master's love!"

Ning Luyang paused cautiously for a moment in annoyance and lowered his voice.

"You were the one who let me get close to Jiang Lige! If it wasn't for marrying you, why would I try so hard to please her? Jiang Lige has a bad temper and I don't know how much she's made me angry. I endured it all for you. But now it's all my fault?"

Hearing the disappointment in Ning Luyang's words, Jiang Chuchu couldn't help but feel flustered. She didn't dare to make trouble anymore and quickly hugged Ning Luyang's arm with tears in her eyes.

"I'm outspoken, but I'm really jealous. Lu Yang, do you know how much my heart aches when you look at her?"

In the grove nearby, Jiang Lige was listening intently when a hand grabbed his collar. He turned around and saw Ning Yunxiao with a dark face.

"Is Ning Luyang really that good-looking?"

"It's a waste not to watch a show that doesn't cost a penny!" As his fiancée, Jiang Lige was very self-conscious and quickly waved her hand to explain. After that, she changed the subject: "But is there any progress on the Gu family's matter?"

Ning Yunxiao shook his head, "Not really any clues."

Not far away, the two who had reconciled were hugging each other tightly, and Jiang Lige had no intention of watching the excitement anymore, her brows furrowed like an old lady.

"What's wrong? Is it not going well?"
