Chapter 255: The County Magistrate

Ye Lulu’s words were vicious and sharp. She even exposed Liu Ya’s lie! This was an attack on the surface.

However…

After saying that, Ye Lulu’s expression slowly froze again.

Guan Chibei was still standing in front of her.

What. Had. She. Said…

She could give birth after getting married?

She sounded as if she had some personal experience with Guan Chibei.

But excuse me? She didn’t. As soon as she transmigrated, she gave birth to three babies on the spot.

However, in front of Guan Chibei, that would be…

Ye Lulu slowly curled her lips and revealed a faint smile. The next thought in her mind was: ‘Let’s destroy her. She could die now…’

Liu Ya’s eyes narrowed. Indeed, she revealed an incomparably shattered expression!

In the past, it had always been Liu Ya who took the initiative to provoke and bully Ye Lulu.

However, no matter how strong her counterattack was, it was still passive.

This time, Ye Lulu finally took the initiative to attack. It showed that she was not to be trifled with. Her attack was so precise and vicious!

When she asked Liu Ya when she would marry Sixth Uncle Li, this was her current predicament.

Liu Ya still wanted to bully and deceive Ye Lulu. In the end, she was utterly defeated and could not pick up anything. She bit her lip and fled in a sorry state.

Ye Lulu took the goat milk and fed the babies a few mouthfuls. She also drank two mouthfuls herself. It was steaming hot and had been boiled with almonds. There was no fishy smell at all. There was only the mellow taste of milk. In the cold environment outside, it was really comforting to drink.

Guan Chibei stood by the side with an indescribable silence in his eyes. Fortunately, he did not say anything and avoided aggravating Ye Lulu’s sense of shame.

Ye Lulu did not mention her embarrassment either. She returned the bamboo tube to Guan Chibei and said, “The baby hasn’t had enough fun. He still wants to see the scenery for a while. I’ll go back and eat later.”

Guan Chibei nodded and took the bamboo tube. He still had to deliver warm goat milk to the other two babies.

Every time they went out for a walk, Mother Rong would have her friends while second sister-in-law Guan would mix around with the women she was familiar with in the village. The adults also wanted to have fun, so they usually walked separately.

At this moment, at the village entrance, a man led a few tall and strong guards into Yunwu Village.

He was wearing an embroidered shirt and a shiny mink fur cloak. His aura was even nobler. It was obvious that he was from a rich family with noble status.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but his young face did not lose its calm and shrewdness. He looked very capable, and no one dared to offend him.

The problem was that he was still very handsome. His thin lips were different from Guan Chibei’s red lips. However, due to his noble expression, these thin lips did not look red and white. Instead, they looked healthy.

He was the county magistrate of Yuan City. His name was Lin Yuchen, and he was twenty-five years old. He was considered very young among officials. Lin Yuchen was born into a noble family and was a descendant of a royal family in the Shang dynasty. He was also a legendary genius. At the age of three, he could compose poems. At the age of five, he could write articles. He had always been an intelligent person. At the age of ten, he became a child genius, at the age of thirteen, he became a county scholar, and at the age of sixteen, he became the youngest scholar in the entire Shang dynasty.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, Lin Yuchen’s name spread throughout the Shang dynasty and he became the most outstanding young talent in it. No one among the nobles could compare to him.

He often entered the imperial palace and chatted and studied with the princes. He interacted with the sons of noble families.

He had come to Yuan City to be a county magistrate at the age of twenty-five, which was also one of his outstanding achievements. After all, although Yuan City was small, it was an important water transportation hub. People who could control the matters in Yuan City must be very trusted by the emperor.

There was no other person of Lin Yuchen’s age in the Shang dynasty to be selected.

Moreover, although he was called a county magistrate, Yuan City was actually a city in name and could be considered a prefecture. Lin Yuchen’s official position could be equivalent to the magistrate of a city-state, or at the very least, a city lord.

The difference in terms of the name only stemmed from the unique geographical location of Yuan City. In terms of size, Yuan City was indeed limited by the terrain and could not compare to ordinary cities.

Hence, Lin Yuchen was addressed as a county magistrate.

However, this county magistrate’s value was very high. Almost all the transportation of goods in the Yuan River was in his hands.

It was also because of his family background that he could suppress the prosperous land of wealth.

However, to everyone’s surprise, County Magistrate Lin, or rather it would be more suitable to call him Magistrate Lin, was a down-to-earth person who went deep into farmers’ villages, just like this time.

After feeling warm again, the village head, Li Yue, immediately went down the mountain and went to the city’s government to report that wild beasts had descended the mountain and attacked the village, killing eight villagers.

Although these people had died, the village head of Yunwu Village, Li Yue, was a kind person. He couldn’t let the villagers die for nothing. Furthermore, it was an important matter that wild beasts had come down the mountain.

There might still be a second time, so the village head went to the city to report to the authorities.

After Magistrate Lin found out, he picked a suitable day to go up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he personally went to Yunwu Village to find out more about the wild beasts attacking the village.

Lin Yuchen came in private, so even the village head didn’t know about it. However, this also showed that he was not pretending but really checking on the citizens.

The people beside him were all his trusted aides.

There were also officials.

“This mountain village is quite cold and quiet. It’s quite unique.” Lin Yuchen looked at the scenery of Yunwu Village in front of him and praised to the follower beside him. He had walked up a mountain, but it did not diminish his elegance at all. It could also be seen that he regularly exercised. It was not entirely because he was from a noble family that he had the strength to go up a mountain.

“However… it’s indeed too close to the deep mountains.” Lin Yuchen looked at the village that was built completely in the mountains. There was nothing blocking the surroundings. He frowned and said, “Moreover, it’s completely unrestrained.”

Lin Yuchen walked into the village.

At this moment, Ye Lulu was walking towards the village entrance. She did not expect to bump into this county magistrate of Yuan City.

There was a very large tree at the village entrance that could be used as the landmark of Yunwu Village. Ye Lulu walked under that tree and a pile of snow suddenly fell from the branch on her head. It was cold.

It wasn’t very cold, but it surprised Ye Lulu. She hugged the baby and looked up. She laughed and turned around the next moment to bump into someone.

“I’m sorry…” An unfamiliar voice spoke. The apology was calm.

“Ah…”

Ye Lulu took two steps back with the baby in her arms. Her gaze landed and she saw a handsome and elegant man standing in front of her. He had a noble aura and was wearing brocade. It was obvious that he was not a man from the village.

The other party had a handsome face and was elegant. He looked like a son from a noble family.
