After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Zheng Xingguang is very clear about this, as children from each family are educated from a young age.

You have to contribute to the family, put the family first, be more thoughtful, etc.

Therefore, few children from large families are truly pure-minded. They all have many thoughts and ideas since childhood.

It’s not that the mind or thoughts are all bad, but that a certain part of the mind is very bad.

"Uncle Emperor, we can't let the baby go. She's too young and doesn't understand any of this."

Emperor Sheng said, "It's because the baby doesn't understand."

"If she doesn't understand, she won't have so many twists and turns, and she won't be easily tempted by the benefits offered by others."

"Plus, given her family's situation, she doesn't have to worry too much about her family, and there are no vested interests involved. She doesn't have to worry about anyone using her family to threaten her."

He would not allow such a thing to happen.

Zheng Xingguang rationally understood that what the emperor's uncle did was the best, but emotionally he could not allow it.

The baby is his best friend, a good friend who has helped him a lot. He can't let her experience such danger.

"Uncle Emperor, can you please change someone?"

Emperor Sheng said, "Xingguang, if there are other candidates, I don't want to choose Baobao."

"To be honest, I think the baby is a blessed child."

"Her good fortune might help her turn misfortune into good fortune."

Zhong Ling advised, "Prince Zheng, please be more considerate of His Majesty."

"Under current circumstances, if a drought were to occur, countless people would be displaced and many would die."

"They are all His Majesty's subjects."

Zheng Xingguang's little fists slowly clenched, and he left without saying a word.

Emperor Sheng sighed helplessly: "Baby has a different meaning for Starlight, so it's not surprising that he would be like this."

Zhong Ling was most aware of the emperor's worries and anxieties. "Your Majesty, Miss Mu has already agreed to this matter. You can rest assured."

Emperor Sheng couldn't calm down. "Old Zhong, just thinking about taking advantage of a little girl makes me feel uneasy."

"If possible, I don't want to take advantage of a little girl."

What he has to deal with now is the impending large-scale drought and the life and death of countless people.

Zhong Ling comforted him, "Your Majesty, this is not for your benefit. This is for the benefit of the common people."

"It is precisely because Miss Mu is fully aware of this that she agreed to Your Majesty's request."

Emperor Sheng waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking, "I know it myself."

Zhong Ling sighed in her heart. The emperor was a good emperor who had been serving the country and the people for many years.

But God was blind and sent down a drought.

……

Mu Baobao and Sang Ye returned to the Mu family.

"Grandma?" Mu Baobao saw Zhu squatting in the field and asked curiously, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

She followed Zhu's gaze, her little face full of surprise, "Grandma, why are all the cabbages in this field dead?"

The cabbages in the field either died or dried up.

Zhu was also wondering.

She greeted Sang Ye first, then said, "We water every plot of land at home every day, but the cabbages still died."

"Could it be because the sun is too strong?" Sang Ye looked up at the sky.

"This piece of land was exposed to the sun. The sun was particularly strong this year. That's probably why he died from the sun."

Zhu couldn't say for sure, "I don't think he died from the sun."

"If you die from the sun, it shouldn't look like this."

She took a hoe and dug up the cabbages in the field to see what was inside.

When they dug it up, they were shocked to find that the roots of the cabbages in the ground were rotten and emitted a strong stench.

"Hey!" Baby Mu covered his nose with his little hands and moved away.

She said in a muffled voice, "Grandma, this land stinks! This is the first time I've smelled land that stinks like this."

It's not the smell of manure, but a kind of indescribable smell.

Sang Ye endured the stench and leaned over to take a look. "This situation... I don't know much about the land, but the roots of the cabbages are rotten like this. Could it be because they gave me too much water?"

Zhu picked up a dried cabbage and looked at it, and even smelled the dry cabbage, "Isn't it because I watered it too much?"

"This smell is like medicine, not the smell of rot from overwatering."

Sang Ye was exposed to many things and thought a lot in an instant, "Grandma Mu, don't move for now. I'll find someone to investigate this matter."

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Zhu naturally listened to him and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Sang."

She threw the cabbage on the ground and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Sang Ye sent his attendants to call the doctor over, and then asked, "Grandma Mu, is this the only piece of land in the family that has problems?"

Zhu said, "Only this piece of land has a problem. The other lands are fine and there is nothing unusual."

"I'm quite puzzled. This piece of land was fine yesterday, but it became like this today."

Sang Ye became more and more certain that someone had committed a murder.

I guess he was jealous and wanted to teach the Mu family a lesson. Plus, this piece of land was close to the front door, so they suffered.

"Grandma Mu, how are your relationships with your neighbors?"

Zhu curled her lips, "Not very good."

"When the neighbors here saw so many high-ranking officials visiting our house, they wanted to try to establish connections, but they were rejected and not even allowed in."

"After so many times, the neighbors stopped coming to my house, but a lot of gossip started circulating."

From the very beginning, the old man warned everyone in the family not to have contact with neighbors easily and to observe more.

They had only been in Rongdu for a short time, so who knew the character of their neighbors.

It's not like the village here where you can find out what kind of people are in a family, so they refuse to talk much with their neighbors.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise who knows what would happen.

Sang Ye has basically understood it.

"Big brother, are those neighbors bad?" asked Mu Baobao.

Sang Ye said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it must have been done by a neighbor who was jealous of your family."

"We need to ask the Jingzhao Prefecture government to investigate how the other party did it and how they succeeded."

"How bad!" Baby Mu stamped his feet angrily, "My family just wants to live a good life."

Mrs. Zhu was also very angry, but when she saw her granddaughter like this, her anger subsided a lot.

"If it's really as Mr. Sang said, then it should have been done late last night."

She speculated, "The servants are at home during the day, and if we do something, it will be easy to be discovered."

"It's easiest to do it in the second half of the night when everyone in the family is asleep."

Sang Ye thought the same thing, "Grandma Mu, please send your servant to the Jingzhao government office to report the case first."

"Remember, make the noise as loud as possible. Maybe you can scare the troublemaker off."

Zhu responded and hurried to find the housekeeper, asking him to arrange someone to handle this matter.

Baby Mu squatted beside the ground, his little face full of heartache: "Such good cabbage, all destroyed just like this."

"Two cabbages for one copper coin."
