A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 144: Qi Ling County Lord

When he saw Yang Hui, this man in his thirties couldn't help but shed tears. After not seeing him for more than ten years, Yang Hui in his memory had grown hairier, but also more reserved.

"Father."

Yu Zhenzhou knelt in front of Yang Hui, apologizing for not fulfilling his filial duties for many years and for not protecting Yang Lijun well.

Yang Hui didn't say anything, but there was a slight warmth in his eyes. It took him a while to recover and help him up.

"Silly child, just be a good person."

Yang Hui has raised them for so many years, so he naturally knows what he is thinking.

After Yu Zhenzhou stood up, he greeted Yan Tianyu and Ji Yansong. They were all elders who had watched him grow up, and he was very excited at this moment.

"Okay." Yang Hui waved his hand and said to Yu Zhenzhou, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Why don't you try to comfort Lijun?"

Yang Hui had already received the news about what Yu Zhenzhou had done in the court, but he did not tell Yang Lijun. This matter could only be resolved by Yu Zhenzhou himself.

"......Yes."

Suddenly I felt timid.

"what happened?"

Yang Lijun on the side was a little confused as to why the topic and atmosphere changed.

"Let Zhenzhou talk to you, and we old guys will go for a stroll."

After saying this, the three elders left.

"You said."

After Yang Hui and his companions left, Yang Lijun stared at Yu Zhenzhou hesitantly.

What did this guy do?

"Well... that's... that..."

Yu Zhenzhou stammered as he told what he had done in the court.

Yang Lijun was extremely angry. She glared at him fiercely with red eyes, and veins popped out from her clenched fists.

"Wife, don't be angry~"

Yu Zhenzhou quickly stepped forward and embraced her in his arms. No matter how Yang Lijun resisted, he refused to let go, for fear that she would get angry and leave again for several years.

"Lijun, I know you are angry, but please don't be angry yet." Yu Zhenzhou coaxed his beloved wife in his arms: "People treat women much more harshly than men. It was my fault that I didn't take good care of you. This is my apology to you."

"Don't refute it yet."

Yang Lijun was about to speak when Yu Zhenzhou interrupted her.

"At the time, I was busy with frontier military affairs and had no time to accompany you to complete your revenge. I have always blamed myself for what happened. Your parents are my parents, and it was me who failed to fulfill my responsibilities."

"Your guilt over the years is also my guilt."

"So, I should bear the eyes and insults from outsiders."

"Besides, if we don't say that, how could Qiling County be so easy to obtain? The emperor is a suspicious person. We might expose more information because of this matter. If we are not careful, Mu Mu will be put in danger."

"You don't want to, do you?"

"In the long run, if I am 'infertile', there won't be any crazy women like the second princess. Generally speaking, the benefits I get outweigh the bad reputation. I am happy to do this."

"I don't want to be separated from you in a bad temper anymore."

“Seven years was really hard.”

"Can you understand?"

Yu Zhenzhou's heartfelt confession made Yang Lijun neither angry nor happy.

But she stopped struggling.

She understands.

I understand Yu Zhenzhou's feelings and his considerations.

Although she didn't know what tricks Yu Zhenzhou used to make the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau misdiagnose her, she just didn't want to see him hurting himself to protect her.

The couple stood in the yard in this posture for a long time.

Yu Zhenzhou was not too worried. He thought that if Yang Lijun listened to what he said, she would probably not suddenly disappear without saying anything.

Besides, Huang Mulin and Yang Hui were both in Linhai Town, so she was reluctant to leave.

When it comes to understanding Yang Lijun's character, no one can compare to Yu Zhenzhou.

"Is there anything else you haven't said?"

"No more." Yu Zhenzhou held the person in his arms tightly again: "I promise."

The two fell silent again. If others saw them, they would think that they were a couple enjoying the quietness of the night.

"Am I useless as your wife?"

"How could I have fought the enemy with peace of mind if you hadn't been by my side to support me and handle all the chores for me during those years at the border?"

"How can you come back from the battlefield every time?"

"Others don't know that you are the greatest contributor in the countless battles on the frontier."

"They say that behind every successful man there is a successful woman. You are my only support."

"I, Yu Zhenzhou, am so lucky to have you in this life."

"I just hope you'll be with me for the rest of my life."

Sweet love words kept pouring out as if they were free, and Yang Lijun was a little overwhelmed.

"Grumpy."

I don’t know where I learned it from.

But it is very useful.

Yu Zhenzhou knew it.

"No, this is all from my heart."

“Nothing false.”

Yu Zhenzhou wanted to continue his disgusting attack, but was stopped by Yang Lijun who pinched his flesh with a spin.

"Hiss~ Wife~ Be gentle~"

After being punished, the matter is over.

Yang Lijun was actually looking forward to Huang Mulin's expression when he learned that she was about to own a county.

It must be interesting.

In mid-June, Eunuch Wu, who had taken on the job of delivering the imperial edict, traveled day and night and took a month of bumpy ride in the carriage before arriving at Linhai Town, Qiling County.

His old bones are about to fall apart, so naturally he is full of resentment.

However, when he wanted to show off his power to scare the country folks, he saw Yu Zhenzhou standing next to the pretty little baby and was almost frightened to the point of falling down.

When did this Duke Zhenguo come to Linhai Town?

When he accepted the mission and set out, Yu Zhenzhou was clearly still in the capital.

Eunuch Wu put on a hypocritical smile and stepped forward to salute Yu Zhenzhou.

"Duke Zhenguo, why are you here?"

"I asked the emperor for a long vacation. I haven't seen my wife and children for a long time. I miss them very much."

Eunuch Wu can be considered an old man around the emperor, so it is better not to offend him if possible.

"That......"

"Father-in-law, just do your job."

"well."

After posing, Eunuch Wu asked loudly, "Is Huang Mulin here?"

"exist."

The little girl took a step forward.

Huang Bo's family received a letter the day before saying that something happened today and the whole family needed to stay at home, so Huang Bo did not go to Xiushan Village, and his four sons also asked for leave.

The shop owners and customers around were all very surprised. This was the eunuch from the imperial palace in the capital, so why did he come to Linhai Town?

And, the Duke of Zhenguo! ?

Many people felt that Yu Zhenzhou looked familiar, but they were not sure.

The guards brought by Eunuch Wu, as well as Yu Min and some of his men stopped the people outside to prevent any accidents, so the onlookers could only stand and watch from a distance.

Among the crowd were Mr. Jia, Tang Qian, and the managers of the Song and Ge families.

"Huang Mulin accepted the order."

Huang Mulin, his family, and servants all knelt down to listen to his orders.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The Duke of Zhenguo has won a great victory at the border recently, enhancing the prestige of our country and making outstanding military achievements. The Duke of Zhenguo's adopted daughter Huang Mulin is innocent, lovely, and extremely intelligent. Qiling County is now granted to Huang Mulin, and the title is given: Qiling County Lord. It will be passed down from generation to generation and cannot be taken back unless there is a serious mistake..."
