448 We have to treasure her

Liang Mingyu had no choice but to send two secret guards who had never revealed their identity to buy food.

All the inns in the county said that there were no rooms, so there was no way to stay in an inn.

He then got the secret guards to buy a courtyard and brought Liang Mingmin in to live.

After a long day, Liang Mingyu was physically and mentally exhausted.

After eating something, he went to rest in the room that the maidservant had just tidied up.

At the same time, he could avoid Liang Mingmin’s anger and nagging.

He thought for a while and wrote a letter, then asked someone to send it back to Northern City as fast as possible.

Without any biases, he wrote down everything that happened during the day.

This included the fact that Liang Mingmin had first found Shi Qingluo’s goose unpleasant and had ordered someone to slaughter and stew it, which had then triggered the confrontation between the two sides.

Although he was also unhappy and angry to be treated like this here, he also understood that the root cause of this problem was his stupid younger sister.

However, he was unsure if his father would continue to pamper and indulge this fool and fall out with Shi Qingluo and her husband.

And for the sake of his great cause, he ignored the pleas of that fool.

Of course, he hoped it was the latter.

The next day, Liang Mingyu went to the county office to look for Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.

Because building roads was an important task, Xiao Hanzheng and his wife reserved some time to meet him.

Liang Mingyu wanted to win the two over.

He put on a humble smile and apologized to them. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. My sister has been completely spoiled by the princess consort.”

“The crown prince is the crown prince, and the princess is the princess, ” Xiao Hanzheng said. “You don’t have to apologize on her behalf. We won’t take our anger out on you.”

This meant that he still hated Liang Mingmin.

Liang Mingyu didn’t care about Xiao Hanzheng’s attitude towards Liang Mingmin.

Instead, he felt that the more they hated her, the better.

It would be fine as long as they don’t put the blame on him.

“Then let’s talk about the road construction,” he said with a smile.

Xiao Hanzheng took out the road construction plan and budget that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Liang Mingyu. “Your Highness, take a look.”

Liang Mingyu didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to be so efficient to even have prepared the estimated cost.

The cost was quite high, but it was nothing compared to the formula Shi Qingluo had given.

His mother used the recipes Shi Qingluo had given her, and the restaurant’s business had indeed improved.

He and his father had personally worn the cotton-padded clothes and quilt to try them on in the ice cellar.

It was indeed warm and comfortable as Shi Qingluo had said.

Therefore, his father had already ordered people to plant delphiniums in all the suitable planting areas in the northern border.

After discussing the road construction, Liang Mingyu sat down and chatted with Xiao Hanzheng for more than an hour before leaving.

They had agreed to build roads on both ends.

Therefore, they had to build a cement workshop on the barren land in the suburbs.

When it was time, they would hire the commoners nearby to lay the cement.

The other end would have those staying in Northern City to do the job.

This way, it would save a lot of time to build the entire road.

Liang Mingyu naturally would not object to Xiao Hanzheng’s conditions.

He had already agreed to build the road, so there was no need to make things unpleasant over such a small matter.

If he agreed and actively did it, it would ease their relationship.

If his father still chose that stupid younger sister in the end, he would find an opportunity to rope in the two of them privately.

So he didn’t waste any time and brought his men out of the city to build a cement workshop on the barren land that Xiao Hanzheng had marked out.

Xiao Hanzheng had also sent his people to spread the news that Shi Qingluo had used several kinds of formulas in exchange for a cement road from Northern City to Heyang County.

This time, Liang Mingyu, the crown prince, was here to repair the road.

They had also managed to strike the deal with the construction starting at Heyang County. Not only would the villagers nearby be employed and receive wages, but they could also speed up the construction time.

The news quickly spread throughout the county.

“Madam is really amazing. She actually used her formulas to exchange a cement road for us.”

“That’s right. It’s a long distance from Northern City to Heyang County. I wonder how much it would cost.”

“Therefore, I don’t know how valuable are the formulas that Madam offered. It’s definitely not something that a road construction project can compare to.”

“That’s for sure. Otherwise, why would Prince Jin agree to it? ”

“This road can save at least twice the time. This is great.”

“There will be more people coming to Heyang County, and our county will get better and better.”

“Madam is so kind. She’s so considerate of our Heyang County.”

“That’s right, we have to treasure her.”

The commoners were all extremely grateful to Shi Qingluo.

They did not even think that it was Prince Jin who had paid to repair it.

They only felt that their Madam was at a loss.

Especially after what Liang Mingmin had done, everyone’s impression of Prince Jin’s manor was not that good.

Liang Mingyu, on the other hand, was busy repairing the road, so he wasn’t boycotted as much.

As long as he went out alone to eat or buy things, the people in the county would sell them to him.

However, when he brought Liang Mingmin along, the people in the county would all have the same attitude – everything was sold out.

Because of this, Liang Mingyu would find an excuse every day that he was too tired and didn’t want to drag Liang Mingmin down.

He would go out and work on his own, leaving her in the courtyard.

For the next few days, Liang Mingmin stayed in the courtyard and did not go out.

In fact, whenever she went out, many people would comment about her negatively from afar, and they would not sell anything she wanted to buy.

She wanted to skin all these people alive, but she couldn’t do it for the time being, so she was very aggrieved.

However, she was someone who couldn’t stay idle, so she couldn’t stay in the courtyard every day.

Hence, she suddenly thought of a solution.

She asked someone to send over a set of fitting men’s clothing and let one of her maidservants wear it as well.

Then, she sneaked out of the door with her maidservant.

Because she was afraid that others would find out and comment on her negatively, she left her guards in the courtyard.

She only had a few hidden guards following him from afar.

Liang Mingmin had a pretty face.

The weather was hot now, so the male outfit she wore didn’t cover her neck.

Therefore, there wasn’t an Adam’s apple at first glance.

On closer look, she even had ear holes.

When she passed by an alley, she met a few men who were dressed like merchants.

These people had just arrived at Heyang County and were prepared to find keep on a caravan.

Once the caravan left Heyang County, they would block off the road together as bandits.

Once they had money, they would go to the brothel to have fun, so they recognized at a glance that the two people in front of them were females in men’s clothes.

In particular, the two of them were quite good-looking, so they immediately had impure thoughts.

One of the bandits who had sexual craving the most walked up and looked at Liang Mingmin like a hooligan as he teased, “This young gentleman is so fair and tender, he’s really good-looking!”

These people had just arrived in the county town two days ago, so they didn’t know what had happened before, and they didn’t know that the person in front of them was Princess Zhen from Prince Jin’s manor.

Otherwise, they would not have dared to target the princess even if they had a lot of guts.

Liang Mingmin was totally disgusted, and her face darkened. “You ugly freak, get lost.”

Such a man was simply an eyesore.

This bandit was the head of this operation and was also a junior leader in their cottage.

He was just going to tease her, but he didn’t expect this woman to call him an ugly monster.

He was indeed very ugly.

He had triangular eyes and a flat nose, and his face was full of freckles. He was also short, so his appearance had always been his sore spot.

The grass on the graves of those who had said he was ugly previously was already very tall.

Now, her comment caused him to be a little hostile.

“Then I, the ugly monster, will get a taste of you, you b * tch.”

He then instructed, “Brothers, capture her and bring her back to our cottage. When I’m tired of playing with her, you can play with her too.”

When the others heard this, they immediately smiled and said, “Yes, boss.”

Hence, he reached out to grab Liang Mingmin and her maidservant.
