Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

"This...we've only met by chance, wouldn't it be too much trouble for you?"

Meng Yingying hesitated, and was actually wondering why this person was helping her so much.

Yet, I couldn't help but feel a flutter in my heart.

If she could avoid it for a while, wouldn't she be able to get rid of the baby in her belly without anyone noticing?

"I can't bear to see women sad, especially a beautiful woman like you." Young Master Wang's words were full of tenderness.

Meng Yingying blushed even more, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She didn't expect that this person would not show the slightest disgust after knowing what had happened to her.

Young Master Wang escorted Meng Yingying to the back gate of the Meng family home.

Before getting off the car, Meng Yingying hesitated for a moment and said, "I hope my benefactor will keep this a secret. I am extremely grateful."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." Young Master Wang reluctantly let go of Meng Yingying's hand.

Meng Yingying entered the room with a flushed face.

After everyone left, the maid who had just helped Meng Yingying with her hair and makeup got back into the carriage.

"Master, we've come to Wuyun County on important business. You wouldn't be thinking of hunting for women, would you?"

Young Master Wang toyed with his teacup, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

"I rescued a playful sparrow on the side. She's the daughter of the county magistrate, after all. Who knows, she might come in handy someday. Heading to Xiangyun Guest House."

"..."

Meng Yingying tried to sneak back into the courtyard through the back door, but as soon as she opened the door, a teacup smashed at her feet.

"You unfilial daughter, kneel down!"

Meng Yingying glanced at Xiao He, who was bound hand and foot and had clearly been tortured, and trembled with fear.

She hadn't figured out what to do yet when her parents found out.

"My daughter, whom I raised with such care, has done something so disgraceful to the family. You should end your own life today!" Magistrate Meng said in a fit of rage.

He even swallowed his pride today to try and find a husband for his daughter, and now this embarrassing thing has happened; he can't bear the shame.

Meng Yingying's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground, trembling.

Madam Meng looked at Meng Yingying with a face full of disappointment, but still said to Magistrate Meng, "Sir, please don't be anxious. Perhaps our daughter has been wronged. Even if she is to be punished, we must first find out the truth of the matter and not let this scoundrel get away with it."

Magistrate Meng snorted coldly.

Madam Meng, suppressing her anger, spoke to Meng Yingying, "Now that things have come to this, tell the truth, whose child is it?"

She pressed the maid Xiaohe for answers, but to no avail.

Seeing the three-foot-long white silk ribbon beside her father, Meng Yingying was terrified and spoke in a trembling voice.

"The child is... Jiang Changtian's."

Xiaohe, who had already been tortured, fainted upon hearing this.

……

……

Back home, Lin Shuyun continued her carpentry work.

Jiang Changtian sat next to her and told her about what happened at the county magistrate's residence that day.

At the same time, he told Meng Yingying what she had said without any concealment.

He figured he'd give it a try; if she wanted to know, there was nothing he could hide from her.

That's right. Ever since he witnessed Lin Shuyun's abilities that night, Jiang Changtian has been convinced that Lin Shuyun is a fairy who descended from heaven to save him.

He even felt that his ability to understand cat language was due to Lin Shuyun.

Xiaoqing, standing to the side, spoke up, "That woman surnamed Meng is, after all, the daughter of a county magistrate. Why is she bothering you again and again?"

"Does saving a life necessarily require repaying with one's body?"

This struck him as odd.

"The reason is simple: she's pregnant and wants to find someone to take her place," Lin Shuyun said without looking up.

Everyone in the courtyard turned to look.

Jiang Changtian hurriedly said, "Don't look at me, it's not mine."

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words, because now that he's out, Qin Niangzi's eyes are filled with disdain when she looks at him.

If you can't even handle things at home, why would you want to handle things outside?

Jiang Changtian understood Qin Niangzi's gaze, and his face flushed red.

"That little girl is really heartless. She knows you already have a wife, yet she still comes here to say such things to Yunyun. She's definitely not a good person."

Qin Niangzi spat out a melon seed shell, "Just watch, this time we won't let it go until we achieve our goal."

"Never mind her, husband, aren't you about to start school?" Lin Shuyun suddenly remembered this.

It seems like we've been on holiday for a while now.

"Ten more days," Old Xu blurted out. "Yun girl, is our restaurant still going to stay open?"

Lin Shuyun then remembered this. Oh right, the restaurant was vandalized and it's still there.

"Let's close down and pack up to cancel the lease."

She opened that shop out of boredom and to make some money on the side, but she didn't expect it to cause trouble for no reason, so she simply decided to close it down.

Old Xu felt a little regretful upon hearing this, but then he thought that he had made quite a bit of money during this period, and to avoid such a thing from happening again, he decided to close the shop.

The next morning, Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian came to the restaurant to clean up.

Seeing the young couple so affectionate, Qin Niangzi stopped Xiaoqing and Old Man Xu from going with them.

If you want to terminate the lease, you have to dispose of the damaged tables, chairs, and other trash.

I had just finished cleaning up when I heard a commotion outside and a crowd of people had gathered.

"Is the shopkeeper here?"

"Shopkeeper, open the door! Are you reopening?"

The door was closed, and before Lin Shuyun could say anything, she heard her mother's voice from outside.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking, they're closing down and not doing business anymore."

Mom was craving braised pork, but after yawning and taking a stroll, she found that either the pork was too expensive or didn't taste good, so she didn't buy any.

A man asked, "Why is it closed? This place has the best braised meat, and it's cheaper too. Those restaurants are really greedy; a pound of meat costs almost half a tael of silver. How can an ordinary family afford that?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone chimed in, "Yeah, the people at this restaurant should be back by now. Look, the entrance is all cleaned up. Are they planning to reopen? I'm so hungry for it!"

Besides those big restaurants, there are also small street-side eateries selling braised meat. Either the prices have gone up, or the taste is terrible. After thinking it over, I still think this one is the best and the most authentic. It was so popular before, and even when there were long queues, the price never went up by a single penny.

Once you've had the braised pork at "Suibian" restaurant, you'll crave it every now and then.

The woman at the door glanced at him and recognized him as the man who had rushed in to grab the broth and other things. She immediately spat out a curse.

"Pah! When that scarred guy was causing trouble, why didn't you all stop him? You even kicked him while he was down and rushed in to steal his things. Now you're craving braised meat, too bad, the place's closed down."

An older woman spoke up, "Mama, are you acquainted with that scholar's wife? Why don't you put in a good word for them and let them continue? My little grandson is begging for a bite, and I'm at my wit's end!"

"Not familiar with her. I'm busy right now. You two go tell her yourselves." The doorkeeper rolled her eyes and flicked her handkerchief.

If she remembered correctly, this old woman even managed to squeeze in and steal a raw, unbraised chicken.

I won't say it; it's no wonder they can't get any.
