Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The reputation of Wuyou Valley is known to everyone in the capital.

The establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty was inseparable from the support of Wuyou Valley. Sitting on that high throne, Zhou Yan appeared to be a completely new person.

The man was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his face was cold and stern, and his aura was chilling. The imperial pressure he exuded made all the ministers present tremble with fear.

Zhou Yan glanced at the kneeling civil and military officials below, his expression unchanged, but the excitement and emotion in his heart were probably only visible to Zhou Fu, who was standing to one side.

"Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

The group scrambled to their feet, none daring to look Zhou Yan in the eye.

Just two months ago, almost all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were replaced, and almost all the famous aristocratic families in the capital were wiped out.

Today marks the first formal court assembly of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The entire court assembly lasted for nearly four hours. In addition to explaining the future development of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one of the topics was about the Valley of No Worries.

That is, the grain from Wuyou Valley became the imperial grain of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This brought Wuyou Valley to a new climax.

……

In early June, the sun was shining brightly.

Lu Chuan has returned from town, and Meng Tong is sunbathing at home.

"Wife, would you like some watermelon juice? I'll make it for you."

Wearing a vest, Lu Chuan carried his son, who was covered in sweat from playing, to the woman.

One was big and one was small, both steaming hot; as soon as Meng Tong got close, he could feel the air was filled with the smell of sweat.

The woman removed the palm-leaf fan from her face, glanced at the father and son, and said with a hint of disdain, "What have you been doing? You're covered in sweat."

"Mother, Father has taken Huai'er into the mountains!"

"There are so many beautiful little animals in the mountains, it's so much fun!"

Lu Huai rushed up to the woman and said with a smile.

The sweat on her little face clearly showed she was having a blast.

Meng Tong sat up, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the little guy's sweat, and then looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Why are you going into the mountains again? You two go there eight hundred times a day."

"Look at this kid, he's almost turned into a mischievous monkey."

The man chuckled, his handsome, resolute face full of doting affection. He took the woman's handkerchief and replied gently, "Take him in to broaden his horizons, or he'll come bothering you again tonight."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tong recalled the scene from last night, when the man was acting coquettishly towards her when Lu Huai rushed in.

Fortunately, the two of them hadn't done anything yet, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

But then, thinking back to what Lu Chuan had said late at night, Meng Tong glared at him and said, "Isn't it reasonable for a son to look for his mother?"

“That’s unreasonable,” Lu Chuan retorted. “Wife, when have you ever seen me go to see my mother?”

"This kid is just being dramatic. He's a grown man now. From now on, you're not allowed to go to your mother's house at night, understand?"

As the man spoke, he looked down and asked Lu Huai, but the little guy shook his head and rushed into the woman's arms.

"No, Mother smells so good, don't leave Mother."

"You kid..."

The man was amused by his appearance and looked helpless.

The afternoon sun shone into the courtyard, and this was the scene Mingyu saw as soon as he entered.

A smile crept onto the boy's lips as he walked toward the three of them.

"Madam, Brother Chuan, Huai'er."

"Mingyu, what brings you here?" Meng Tong released Lu Huai from her lap and stood up to ask, "Is there something wrong in town?"

Since the construction project in town was completed, most of the girls, like Yuanyuan, have gone to work.

Everyone is busy and doing things like producing sanitary napkins in a very professional manner.

Only Lu Chuan and Meng Tong relaxed.

When Mingyu suddenly arrived, Meng Tong instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Fortunately, he simply said, "It's a good thing for you, Madam."

The four of them then went into the house, and Mingyu explained the situation in Pingkou Village, which also brought an unexpected piece of news.

"Imperial grain?"

"Yes, a lot of people have come from outside the valley now. They all want to cooperate with us and sell our Worry-Free Valley's grain."

Mingyu replied with a smile.

Meng Tong and Lu Chuan exchanged a glance; neither of them had expected it to happen so suddenly.

Although this situation was foreseeable.

It seems they have no leisure time left.

……

After arriving at Pingkou Village from Duanshan Village, Meng and Tong first went to the city tower.

Sure enough, the outside was packed with people, all dressed in rich and noble clothes, some even with horse-drawn carriages.

Meng Tong even spotted a familiar face.

"Look, isn't that person a member of the Yun family?"

Lu Chuan looked in the direction Meng Tong pointed and indeed saw the Yun family's symbol.

The person standing next to the carriage was clearly the Yun family's steward, and the person sitting inside the carriage was obvious as well.

"I didn't expect the Yun family to come too."

"What should we do next? We can't just let all of them in!"

Lu Chuan frowned and said.

The man roughly counted, and there were already more than a hundred people he could see.

The influence of these "royal merchants" is no exaggeration.

Compared to Lu Chuan, Meng Tong was quite calm. The woman turned around, walked down the city wall, and then entered a nearby courtyard.

This place serves as a temporary guesthouse. Meng Tong asked Mingyu to bring out the things she had asked him to carve earlier.

"You take some people and distribute these things to the people outside, and tell them to write down what they need on a piece of paper and bring it back."

"Madam won't let them in?" Mingyu asked.

“No, at least not now,” Meng Tong replied. “There are too many of them right now, and some of them aren’t sincere. It wouldn’t be good for us if they came in rashly.”

"Let's observe first."

"Row."

Mingyu understood what the woman meant, and called for people to move the things out. That's how they left Wuyou Valley.

The tightly closed door slowly opened, and those who had been showing some emotion all looked over.

Upon seeing Mingyu, a hot-tempered man stepped forward and taunted, "Ha, so you've finally decided to come out! So what if you got the title of Imperial Merchant? How dare you keep me waiting for so long? Don't you know who I am?"

The man who spoke was named Gu Yan. The Gu family was the number one imperial merchant family in the previous dynasty, but the title of imperial merchant family was already gone on the day Zhou Yan ascended the throne.

The Gu family was one of the few remaining powerful and wealthy families in the capital, but they had squandered their vast fortune.

Gu Yan, once a playboy, has become a beggar whom everyone hates.

The reason I came to Worry-Free Valley was simply because I had a pent-up resentment in my heart that I couldn't vent.

Looking at the man in front of him who seemed like a madman, Mingyu exuded a cold and ruthless aura.

The boy's eyes darkened slightly, and then he took something out of his sleeve.

A buzzing sound of electricity rang out, and before the man could react, he was electrocuted and collapsed to the ground.

"Does anyone else have something to say?"

After putting his things away, Mingyu looked at the others with a sullen face.

Among them were those who provoked others and even those who attacked.

However, they all end up in the same way.
