One person was the short end of the stick, while two people were the long end. MO Ruyue still went to look for County Magistrate Wu.
County Magistrate Wu’s eyes widened when he heard that MO Ruyue wanted to dig through the mountain.
How big was this project, and how long would it take to complete?
Now that MO Ruyue was the owner of Lianshan County, she had to pay the taxes every year. She didn’t even know if the remaining money would be enough to open up the mountain.
MO Ruyue also knew that she couldn’t spend her money recklessly. Besides, the money hadn’t reached her hands yet. Even if she had money, she couldn’t spend it all on the road connecting Lianshan County and West River Village.
For a moment, the two of them could not think of a good solution. MO Ruyue decided not to think about it for now. The more urgent this matter was, the more she could not think of a solution. “How has Sister-in-law been recently?”
“I’ll go see her.”
“Good, good, good. Then I will bring the princess over.”
County Magistrate Wu stood up with MO Ruyue and was about to lead the way.
“No need. It’s not my first time coming to your house. You have a lot of things to do. I won’t get lost myself.”
MO Ruyue waved at County Magistrate Wu, then led Granny Rong and Chun Hua to the back government office.
“Princess, this is not in line with the rules. Logically speaking, it should be the county magistrate’s wife who came to visit you.”
Granny Rong felt that her princess was a princess after all, and she was also personally appointed by the Emperor. Moreover, she was very favored. How could the princess lower her status to meet a county magistrate’s wife?
However, she only dared to think about this in her heart. She just couldn’t help but remind her a little.
The moment she said that, she was afraid. If the princess was unhappy, her mouth would be so bad!
Granny Rong really wanted to slap herself.
MO Ruyue also knew that Granny Rong was a naggy person. In fact, everything she said and thought was for her own good.
“You don’t know that when I wasn’t a princess, this county magistrates wife treated me quite well.”
No matter when or if his identity changed, he would never forget his roots. “I’m a princess now, so I can put on airs and make people take the initiative to see me.”
“I didn’t jinx it.”
“Granny Rong, look up at the cloud in the sky. The wind and clouds are unpredictable. It’s hard to say if the cloud in the next moment will still be the one we’re looking at now.”
MO Ruyue had been with Granny Rong for a long time and had learned to beat around the bush.
Granny Rong naturally understood what MO Ruyue meant. She was a princess now, and MO Ruyue had to put on airs. What if she wasn’t a princess one day?
It wasn’t impossible!
Although this possibility was unimaginable.
“Princess is right, this old servant is stupid.”
Chun Hua looked at Granny Rong with a stifled smile.
Granny Rong had been defeated repeatedly by the princess.
Who was their princess?
If she didn’t have the ability, would she be able to make the emperor confer her the title of Princess Ming Yue?
There were many capable girls in the world, but up until now, there was no one with a different surname who was still a village girl. To make an exception and be personally conferred the title of princess by the emperor, until now, it was only their princess!
When she arrived at the back of the yamen, MO Ruyue noticed a gardener digging a hole in the rockery in the flowerbed. She wondered what he was digging.
When the county magistrate’s wife’s servant girl saw MO Ruyue, she came over to greet MO Ruyue with great respect.
“This servant greets Princess Ming Yue.”
“Get up quickly. It hasn’t been long since we last met, and you’re already estranged from me.”
This servant girl had a good relationship with MO Ruyue.
The servant girl saw that MO Ruyue did not use her power to oppress others, nor did she put on airs after she became a princess. She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. It was still the same Doctor Mo.
“This servant will go and call Madam for you.”
“Madam had fallen into a deep sleep and had yet to wake up. She did not know that Princess had come.”
MO Ruyue nodded and sat down.
The maidservant had already served tea and snacks. MO Ruyue picked up the teacup and took a sip.
From her angle, the gardener in the garden was digging out the fake mountain as if he was digging out some treasure.
MO Ruyue slammed her teacup on the table and stood up.
“I have an idea!”
“This concubine didn’t know that Princess Ming Yue had arrived, please forgive me.”
The county magistrate’s wife came out to apologize to MO Ruyue.
“Sister-in-law, don’t treat me as an outsider. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?
This trip to the capital was just a stroke of good luck, to have caught the Imperial Concubine’s eye.
When you see me in the future, just treat me as the MO Ruyue who knows medicine. Don’t be so polite.
“You should just call me sister.”
Seeing the sincerity on MO Ruyue’s face, the County Magistrate’s wife liked MO Ruyue even more. After all, her status had risen, and now it was her turn to climb up to MO Ruyue.
She was more than happy that he was willing to get along with her like before.
“Sister, what did you say just now?
“Oh, I was just about to go find the county magistrate.”
The husband and wife would definitely talk about this in private. She did not want to hide it from the county magistrate’s wife. Besides, this was not a secret.
“Why don’t you go with me?”
Since she was already invited, the county magistrate’s wife could not refuse to go. The two of them went to the front office to look for County Magistrate Wu.
County Magistrate Wu saw that MO Ruyue had come over again and hurriedly stood up to let MO Ruyue sit.
MO Ruyue didn’t sit on his main seat. Instead, she asked him for a pen washi and sat beside him. While writing and drawing, she told County Magistrate Wu and his wife about her idea.
She had thought of a way, and all she needed was County Magistrate Wu’s cooperation.
County Magistrate Wu was shocked by MO Ruyue’s idea!
In his opinion, only an immortal could think of such a peerless method. Anyway, he would never be able to think of it in his lifetime.
“Princess, don’t worry. This lowly official will do it properly for you.
“I’ll find someone to arrange it.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, County Magistrate.”
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. This is what I should do.”
MO Ruyue was too lazy to be polite with him anymore. Now that she had finished her important task, she was in a good mood. She chatted with the county magistrate’s wife for a while and checked her pulse before leaving the yamen.
After leaving the county office, MO Ruyue went to the county to buy a lot of things to bring home for the children.
It had become a habit for her to bring some things home for the children.
Whether it was in the shop or in the stall, she would take a look and return the money when it was time to bargain.
Granny Rong had a conflicted look on her face the entire way. Finally, she couldn’t help but start to reason with MO Ruyue when she got into the carriage.
“Princess, your status is noble. Bargaining is really…”
If someone with ulterior motives sees it, they will definitely gossip. Next time, let this old servant bargain with others. Or let Chun Hua and the others do it, otherwise what do you want the servants for?
The servants follow you all day long like…”
Granny Rong finally stifled the words ‘walking dead.’ Since when did she think of such a crude term?!
It was too terrifying!
“These servants are like marionettes. This servant’s duty is to serve you. If you have anything to do, just instruct these servants.”
Granny Rong babbled on and on the whole way, and she was very careful. She wanted to hold it in but couldn’t help it. She couldn’t change her bad habit of talking high.
MO Ruyue was also impressed by her. She was afraid that she would get angry, but she couldn’t help but say it. She really couldn’t figure it out.
Looking at Granny Rong’s appearance, she probably nagged like this for most of her life. It was probably harder to make her change than to make her eat poison.
However, MO Ruyue really did not want to listen to her nagging anymore. She finally returned to the village!
MO Ruyue’s eyes lit up again when she saw the chattering apprentices.
“It’s better to be alone than to be together!”
“Princess, what did you say?
MO Ruyue muttered to herself, but Granny Rong did not hear her clearly. She thought that she was instructing MO Ruyue to do something..
