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

Aunt Fan said aggrievedly, "Madam, please don't be angry. If you don't like what I'm saying, then I won't say it. I'm only doing this for Miss's own good."

She also thought that Meng Yingying could marry into a higher social class. At that time, it would only be that she would suffer grievances with the madam, while her son, who was the only male heir of the Meng family, would receive real benefits.

So he said, "Master, it would be better if you went to see this person in person."

Madam Meng was furious when she saw her obsequious appearance, "Master..."

"I have my own decision on this matter, so don't say anything more." Madam Meng wanted to say something more, but Magistrate Meng interrupted her directly.

Magistrate Meng left without even eating.

"Don't think you're all that now. Just wait and see." Madam Meng snorted coldly at Aunt Fan and then left.

Aunt Fan looked at the table full of food and was quite pleased with herself. She knew that the master must have taken her words to heart.

Ah, I hope Meng Yingying is lucky and is indeed carrying that scholar's child.

Meng Yingying, who was locked in the room, was feeling unwell and was vomiting bile.

"Little Lotus, Little Lotus!"

Meng Yingying, her face ashen, called out to her personal maid twice, only to be met by an unfamiliar maid, not even the one who had accompanied her to the Jiang family that day.

"Where's Xiao He? Why are you serving her?" Meng Yingying asked, her expression displeased.

"Xiaohe has made a mistake and has been locked in the woodshed by the madam. From now on, the young lady will be served by maids." The maid said in a low voice.

Meng Yingying was in a bad mood, and after thinking it over, she instructed her maid: "Go and find someone for me, and while you're at it, get me some medicine to help with the pregnancy."

That young man said he would help her that day, so he should have agreed to help her, right?

Seeing that the maid had left, Meng Yingying touched her stomach.

He silently thought to himself: Jiang Changtian, you have to acknowledge this child whether you like it or not. This is what you owe me!

……

……

Magistrate Meng skipped dinner and went straight to the prison cell with a cold face.

Upon seeing Xian An squatting in the corner, his expression instantly changed.

"I ordered you to arrest Jiang Changtian, where is he?"

"Sir, isn't Jiang Changtian locked up inside?" the constable pointed at Xian'an.

"Fool, release him immediately! You've arrested the wrong person!" Magistrate Meng was having a terrible headache.

Although we don't know the specifics of Xian'an's background, he must have connections in higher places.

If he were offended like this, and his superiors were to intervene, his tenure as a minor county magistrate would be over.

Xian'an had been locked in a cell and starving for a day, and had been verbally abused by the yamen runners and other prisoners. Now, when he saw Magistrate Meng, even his good temper turned sour.

He scoffed coldly, "Magistrate Meng is really quite arrogant. You can arrest a scholar with official rank just like that? What have I done to offend Magistrate Meng?"

"It's all a misunderstanding." Magistrate Meng broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing Xian'an's attitude.

There must be someone behind them; that's why they can speak so confidently in front of someone as filial as him.

"Misunderstanding? Look at me now, how can it be a misunderstanding? This is too casual of you to say such a thing." Xian An said coldly.

"Let's talk about it after we get out of the cell," Magistrate Meng said in a low voice.

"Humph!"

Xian'an didn't want to reveal his identity, so he got back all the money and clothes that had been stolen from him and returned to the academy.

After his impulsive outburst, Magistrate Meng calmed down.

This matter should be resolved privately; making it public knowledge will do him no good.

After much deliberation, he went to the academy to see Jiang Changtian.

Upon meeting Jiang Changtian, Magistrate Meng angrily accused him of being unworthy of studying the classics and of being a shameless scoundrel.

He had previously thought Jiang Changtian was a good person, but he never expected him to do such a thing in private.

Jiang Changtian let Magistrate Meng rant and rave until he finished before speaking in a cold voice.

“Lord Meng, whether you believe it or not, your daughter’s pregnancy has nothing to do with me. I am already married and deeply love my wife.”

When Lin Shuyun was mentioned, Jiang Changtian's eyes softened with tenderness, and his gaze toward Magistrate Meng was extremely open and honest.

"If it wasn't you, then who was it? Yingying herself said it was you." Magistrate Meng was also somewhat suspicious upon seeing this.

Seeing that Jiang Changtian's expression didn't seem like that of a petty person, and considering what his daughter had said herself...

Jiang Changtian sneered, "Magistrate Meng should investigate Guo Zhong instead. After all, Guo Zhong made a big fuss over Miss Meng, and I suffered an undeserved disaster because of him. My legs are still not fully healed."

He had heard the story of the farmer and the snake before, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.

Having escaped death and been given a second chance at life, he is no saint.

If there is a next time, he will definitely kill Meng Yingying.

Magistrate Meng felt a chill run down his spine and left the academy.

While he was at the academy, he couldn't take Jiang Changtian with him, but he did believe Jiang Changtian's words to a great extent.

Auspicious Clouds Guest Cup.

"How's the investigation going? Have you found any leads on the kid who beat up my Wang family member?" Young Master Wang asked the maid beside him casually, swirling his wine glass.

"We've sent out several groups of people to investigate, but we haven't found any leads." The maid said expressionlessly.

"Who on earth are these people, acting so arrogantly?" Young Master Wang scoffed.

The Wang family had been searching for years and finally had a few clues, but before they could even make a move, someone else had already warned them.

Thus, Young Master Wang determined that Lu Ban's secret techniques were located in Wuyun County.

"Young master, should we try a different approach?"

"The 'other places' you're referring to are..."

The maid whispered, "Didn't Wang Gou say there's a carpenter named Lu in Wuyun Town? Let's go to his house and take a look."

"Oh, you mean this family might be descendants of Lu Ban? They even dare to openly use the surname Lu, aren't they a bit too bold?" Young Master Wang smiled knowingly, but his gaze swept over a woman downstairs through the window, and he stroked his chin, saying, "She's quite pretty."

Having been strictly controlled at home, Young Master Wang had already spent three days loitering at the Chunfeng Tower as soon as he arrived in Wuyun County.

The maid was used to the young master's behavior and didn't find it strange. "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. You only know if it's true or not after you've been there yourself."

“That makes some sense. Let’s go to the carpenter’s house and see if he has what we want.”

Just as Young Master Wang was about to get up and go down to see the rather attractive woman from before, another subordinate arrived.

"Young master, the young lady you sent back before has sent a letter, asking you to take her out and ensure her safety."

Who was it again?

Young Master Wang didn't remember for a moment, but his subordinate reminded him.

"Oh, so it's that sparrow."

The county magistrate's daughter.

The maid frowned. "Young master, let's not waste any more time. We need to get down to business."

"How is this not important? I'm just curious about whose child she's carrying. How can the daughter of a county magistrate be so naive and easily fooled? She's definitely a woman from a small town." Young Master Wang stroked his chin, his interest piqued.

"Go, write her a reply telling her to wait at the back door tonight, and my men will come to pick her up then."

The maid wanted to offer some advice, but ultimately didn't dare to utter a sound.

After Young Master Wang went downstairs, he discovered that the woman had gone in the direction of Yaoyue Tower. He had already grown tired of the things that came out of brothels and entertainment venues these past two days, so he immediately lost interest.
