Traveling back in time to a female virtuous novel, she was forced to make money to support her famil

Mu Yan looked at the people and said calmly, "They feel that I, a farmer and county magistrate, am not qualified to deal with them, so today it is up to you to carry out their duties."

Seeing the excited expressions of the people, she still said something, "Don't beat people to death, otherwise they won't be able to enjoy 20 years in prison."

I don’t know who shouted good, and the thunderous applause resounded throughout the county government.

The common people were still cautious, a few people were counting on the side, and the rest took turns to hit the boards, so as to clear away the resentment in their hearts and satisfy the addiction of being a yamen servant.

The county magistrate's eyes were a little moist, and she sighed in her heart that Longcheng finally had a good official who served the people. Only at this moment did she truly believe in the new county magistrate.

Mu Yan's move established prestige among the people and gained their trust, and also laid the foundation for what he would do in the future.

From today on, rumors will spread across Longcheng about the heroic feats of the new county magistrate in punishing the evil thieves and government servants.

It was getting late, and most of the county government affairs had been settled. Mu Yan, thinking about tonight's affairs, entrusted Xiao Huai'an to Su Jishan and left in a hurry.

In the octagonal pavilion, tea is brewed to welcome night guests, the red stove is scorching hot, and the tea is fragrant. This scene can't help but make people recite a poem.

"On a cold night, guests come to drink tea and wine, and the soup in the bamboo stove is boiling and the fire is just beginning to turn red. The moon in front of the window is the same as usual, but the plum blossoms are different."

Ruan Jing put down the tea cup in his hand, "Tea is good tea, but it cannot be made into wine."

There was a noise outside the pavilion, Ruan Jing turned a deaf ear and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You came."

Mu Yan strolled in from outside the pavilion, walked to the opposite side and sat down unceremoniously.

"You knew I was coming."

Ruan Jing rolled his eyes at Mu Yan, "You deceived my brother during the day, and if you don't come to explain at night, I will definitely chop you with a knife."

Mu Yan was not surprised that she knew what happened during the day. If the young master went out, it would be abnormal for Ruan Jing not to send someone to follow him.

"Why didn't you stop it?"

Ruan Jing sneered and drank the tea in his hand with some displeasure.

"How can I control the love between men and women?"

She can control it for a while, but she can't control it forever.

Mu Yan lowered his eyes and thought about her words carefully. He could clearly control it, so why didn't he care about it now?

Looking at Ruan Jing's current expression, he seemed a little unhappy or unwilling.

Mu Yan asked in a deep voice: "What happened to the young master?"

Ruan Jing glanced at Mu Yan, "You are quite perceptive," and after a long silence, "Do you really like Ruan Yu?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Mu Yan felt that her answer was extremely important at this moment. It seemed that her fate with the young master depended on this answer.

Mu Yan looked firmly at Ruan Jing and said word by word, "I will never change my mind in this life."

Ruan Jing frowned slightly, not satisfied with the answer, "Not enough, a girl can serve three husbands and four, and my Ruan brother cannot share his wife with others."

Mu Yan sat upright with a serious look on his face: "I, Mu Yan, only take one gourdful of water."

It is not enough to give a lifetime of love to the one you love. How can you give the extra to others? If you really do this, you are asking for trouble.

Ruan Jing stared at Mu Yan, "Remember what you said today. If you dare to break your oath, I will cut you into pieces to make amends to my brother."

Mu Yan felt helpless. The Ruan siblings all liked to threaten people. Seeing Ruan Jing's behavior, she knew that she had guessed wrong before. Ruan Jing not only had winning and losing in mind, but also his family.

Also, living in troubled times, no one lives for the people they care about.

After Ruan Jing calmed down his emotions, there was a little sarcasm on his face, "Do you know why I suddenly changed my mind and agreed to Ruan Yu being with you?"

Mu Yan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I am all ears."

Ruan Jing sighed, picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip into his mouth. "Although my mother and father are the Prime Minister of Dongning Kingdom, their character is upright and they are very loyal to the court. They tried their best to sit in a position where one person is inferior to ten thousand people, but in the end they aroused His Majesty's suspicion.

On the surface, I am His Majesty's favorite, but otherwise I am just being used by her to remove obstacles for her. I was demoted to Longcheng, and my final purpose is to find the person who is hiding for her. "

Speaking of this, Ruan Jing's expression was fierce and his tone was extremely sarcastic, "Everyone says that Her Majesty the Queen is a benevolent monarch who does her best for the people of the world, but everyone knows that this is just her usual approach.

I tried my best to get out of the chess game, thinking that I could turn the tide and protect my family, but I didn't expect that she would be better. "

Originally, she just wanted to get out of the chess game and spend this life peacefully, but she didn't expect that man to drag her into the game. She didn't blame her for choosing the right place for a good bird to perch.

"What does this have to do with the young master?"

Mu Yan frowned. To be honest, she didn't like people who kept talking without getting to the point.

Ruan Jing gave her a funny look, "You are impatient. This is the first time I have seen you like this."

Mu Yan looked gloomy and said, "Say."

"Your Majesty intends to betroth your younger brother to the eldest princess."

Mu Yan was shocked. Her Majesty's move was not really intended to get married, but to contain the Ruan family. Being able to come to this step shows that Her Majesty the Queen already has the intention to deal with the Ruan family.

"That's what you are thinking. The eldest princess has a cowardly character and is the easiest to manipulate, but she is the most loved by the queen. Moreover, the eldest princess's father is the son of the current prime minister."

After saying this, Mu Yan clearly understood that His Majesty's heart has already turned towards the Prime Minister. If this is the case, even if the young master marries someone, the Queen will tie him up and marry him to the eldest princess.

The young master has been regarded as a pawn by her, and she cannot give up so easily.

"The prince is telling me this, is there a better choice?"

Mu Yan stared at her closely. She said so much to him tonight, one of which was for the sake of the young master, and the other of which was to win over her.

The King of Donglong County is not prepared to use her as a pawn.

She planned to form an alliance with herself, but why did she change her attitude towards herself.

Mu Yan was sure that he was not Ruan Jing's first choice in the matter of the young master.

"I really can't hide it from you."

Ruan Jing felt helpless but had to admit Mu Yan's intelligence.

She did have a better choice. She had secretly contacted the second princess early on, but time waited for no one. Before she could arrange the arrangements, the queen had already taken action.

Mu Yan suddenly didn't want to guess anymore. In such a high-risk profession, it was better to save his brain.

"Why me."

Ruan Jing was not a fool. She knew that Miss Yan wanted to be honest with her. She looked at the teacup with twinkling eyes.

"I want to make a like-minded friend, I want to save my family, and you are brave enough and careful enough, I want to take a gamble."

Another point is that Ruan Jing feels that Miss Yan is always a little different from the Dongning people. She can't tell what the specific difference is.

Dad is right, people cannot always be in a helpless situation. Sometimes, if you are good at discovering, you can also have good results.

Thinking of receiving the letter from his father today, Ruan Jing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

friend?
This was the first time Mu Yan heard such words. She had no friends in her previous life, and she had never thought about making any friends in this life.

Now that she met him here, she wanted to give it a try.

Mu Yan smiled slightly, raised the tea cup in his hand, "To my friend."
