The man whose chicken was stolen felt like the sky was falling.

The old mother beside him slapped him hard and said, "You useless thing, you only have a mouth to eat but can't talk!"

"You've never been as good as your brother since you were little! You're such a useless thing, you've only brought shame to the family."

"Those chickens are yours. When you make money, I'll return them to your brother. Got it?"

The man didn't even dare to raise his head because of the scolding.

Mingyue, who was originally very angry with him, could only shake her head helplessly at this moment.

Isn't this person a modern keyboard warrior? When he is wronged in his life, he likes to indiscriminately attack people who are better off than him behind their backs.

Gee tut.

In the end, the group of ragtag people were thrown into jail.

The relatives of these people all despise them.

After all, it was a rumor about Her Royal Highness the Princess when her family had done such great kindness to the entire Longcheng.

Now, they can’t even hold their heads up in the village.

------

At the evening banquet, Mingyue didn't dare to look into Jiang Mengrou's eyes. After all, she had concealed the matter from her father in the afternoon.

Although she was finally discovered, she was still very embarrassed.

Jiang Mengrou patted her head and said, "Silly child, are you still feeling awkward?"

She half-hugged her daughter's waist and said, "Mother doesn't blame you, but you must know that we are a family and should not hide anything, especially when we encounter difficulties."

"Yes, mother, I promise there won't be a next time." Mingyue swore.

When you feel relaxed, your appetite will increase.

Little pig Mingyue was eating her rice with a grunt. Jiang Mengrou asked her to eat slower and put more vegetables into her bowl.

At this time, the father and his two sons felt a little bored.

Why does my wife/mother only talk to my daughter/sister and ignore them?

Could it be that we blame them for not notifying us in time?

This…

The father and his two sons didn't eat anything during the meal and kept looking at Jiang Mengrou's expression.

They found out, it’s true!

The lady/mother who usually picked up food for them didn't even take her eyes off Xiao Mingyue for a moment.

As a result, the three of them did not eat enough, and when they woke up hungry at night, they did not dare to sneak into the kitchen to eat something.

……

The distribution of grain was arranged, and Zhao Yunshan finally found time to investigate the affairs of the former prefect.

But, looking at the string of children behind me...

Zhao Yunshan rubbed his brows and thought, "Never mind. Just consider it as sharing some of the burden for my wife. She's tired of taking care of the children on weekdays, so I'll take care of them today."

"Dad, where are we going?"

Mingyue saw that this was not the direction to the county government office.

Zhao Yunshan narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go to the corrupt official's house first."

After all... Lu Sheng had already told him the truth in advance. This former prefect was a bit tight-lipped. More than two months had passed, and he still refused to admit to the corruption.

"Oh, so that's it." Mingyue said calmly, but her eyes were shining brightly. Hehe, the home of a corrupt official?

Here I come to this magnificent house!

Mingyue, full of anticipation, hesitated when she saw the half-collapsed gate in front of her. "Dad, are you sure no one has ever been here? It looks like it was looted by bandits."

The soldier beside him said respectfully, "Little Princess, we brothers take turns on duty every day. Since the previous prefect was imprisoned, no one has come in."

Mingyue felt a little embarrassed. She was just joking, saying that the prefect's house looked like it had been robbed and was extremely poor.

But the soldier seemed serious.

"Um, big brother, has the prefect's house always been like this?" Mingyue pointed at the half-destroyed eaves and the empty hall inside the mansion...

The soldier finally realized what Mingyue had just said. "Yes, yes, the previous prefect's family has always been like this, so... so..."

"So what?" Zhao Yunshan asked.

"So, when we heard that the prefect was corrupt, we didn't believe it. In fact, we have some doubts now..." The soldier lowered his head after saying this.

He did not mean to say this to exonerate the former prefect, he was just expressing his true opinion.

After all, no one thought that the prefect who lived an honest life might be a corrupt official.

Mingyang and Mingyue looked at each other and saw something wrong in each other's eyes.

"Daddy, can my sister and I go play nearby?" Mingyang found an excuse to take Mingyue to the nearby houses to ask everyone about their impression of the prefect.

"Go ahead." Zhao Yunshan assigned a team of people to them.

It just so happened that the prefect's mansion looked shabby, and he didn't want the children to come in.

Minghao, who had already run inside, saw his elder brother and younger sister walking somewhere else, and hurriedly followed them, "Hey, hey, where are you two going? Take me with you!"

Zhao Yunshan shook his head. This child is already ten years old and still so reckless.

……

"Auntie, give us five roujiamo!" The sweet voice immediately attracted many people's attention.

The proprietress had sharp eyes and recognized at a glance that it was Princess Mingzhu who came to her stall.

Oh my God, how could a noble man eat food from a commoner like me?

She was a little flattered, "Princess...Princess, this...my home is just a small stall..."

Minghao understood what she meant and interrupted, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. The three of us always love to eat the small things that ordinary people like in the capital. The smaller the stall, the better the taste!"

Mingyue nodded in agreement, "Auntie, I'm a little glutton from the capital. I followed you here because I smelled the aroma of your meat."

Longcheng now has food, and the city gates are no longer closed, so anyone can enter or leave.

Many vendors brought out the last livestock left at home and started selling food.

When the lady selling roujiamo heard this, she was instantly overjoyed.

The children of this noble family are different. They speak nicely and are polite!

Although the people around were doing their own things, their eyes and ears were still closely observing the actions of Mingyue and his two siblings.

Soon, the old lady cut a few pieces of tasty meat, put them in the steamed bun, and poured hot broth on it.

"Here I come~~~~"

Five fragrant roujiamo, wrapped in oil paper, came into the hands of Mingyue and others. Zhizhi and Taotao did not forget either.

It was not a busy time at the moment, so the old lady stood not far away, watching the three people eat the food she had made.

To be honest, I was really nervous!

She was confident in herself. As for the people of Longcheng, she was 100% sure that she could capture their taste buds.

But Mingyue and his companions came from the capital and had eaten all kinds of delicacies.

In the short time that she was distracted, the roujiamo in front of the three people had disappeared without a trace.

Zhizhi was even eating the other half that Taotao had left.

"You've finished eating already?"

The old lady looked at Mingyue curiously, whose food just reached her waist. The roujiamo she had just eaten was enough for an adult man, so how come this little darling finished it all!
