After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

After learning the truth, Uncle Jiang's son was filled with indescribable joy. He quickly turned around, walked towards his wife with apology, apologized humbly, and begged for her forgiveness.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

His words were full of regret and sincerity.

However, Uncle Jiang had no time to care about his son's apology. He was filled with doubt and anger. He stared at his wife with wide eyes, questioning and dissatisfied: "Tell me, what's going on? I never thought it was you! You are the one who hid the most..."

Uncle Jiang's wife turned pale and was speechless when facing his questioning. Her eyes flickered, as if she was avoiding something.

Uncle Jiang became even more furious when he saw this. He scolded loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the room.

The surrounding neighbors were attracted by the sudden quarrel. They stood outside the door, whispering and talking.

Uncle Jiang's son stood aside, feeling embarrassed and helpless. He didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.

As Uncle Jiang's questioning became more and more intense, his wife finally couldn't bear the inner pressure and collapsed.

She covered her face and cried bitterly, tears streaming down her fingers and soaking the handkerchief in her hand. Her shoulders trembled as if she was enduring unspeakable pain.

Uncle Jiang couldn't help but feel a complex emotion when he saw her like this. He was angry and distressed. He was angry that he had been kept in the dark for so long, and he was distressed to see his wife in such pain.

The wife sobbed softly and told the truth in a trembling voice: "This matter dates back to before I married you! At that time, my childhood sweetheart and I had already secretly decided to spend our lives together and were going to get married."

She paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "As a result, my parents asked him for a sky-high betrothal gift, and he couldn't raise the money no matter how hard he tried. He knew that my parents made such a condition for the benefit of the family. He had no choice but to give up and leave. When I heard the news, my heart was broken, but I was powerless. In fact, I was already pregnant at that time. Later, my parents arranged for me to marry you for the reputation of the family."

Uncle Jiang suddenly felt like he had become the biggest victim of the village. The shock and pain in his heart could not be described in words. He stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning, and could not recover for a long time.

He looked at his wife deeply, his eyes full of mixed emotions. He had never thought that he would become a victim of someone else's affair under such circumstances. His heart was filled with anger and unwillingness, but more of it was helplessness and sadness.

The wife looked at him with tears in her eyes. She knew that she owed him too much, and she could not make up for this guilt with any words. She could only cry silently, hoping that he could understand her difficulties.

Uncle Jiang was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I... I don't know how to say it. I didn't expect it to be like this..."

His voice was trembling, as if he was trying hard to suppress his inner emotions. He knew that this incident was a huge blow to him.

"I...I will try my best to accept this fact, but..." Uncle Jiang paused and continued, "I need time to digest all this."

The wife nodded silently, she knew he needed time to calm down his emotions. She would also give him enough time and space to slowly accept this cruel reality.

From that day on, the relationship between Uncle Jiang and his wife became a little subtle. They were no longer as close as before, but they were not completely alienated.

"Hahaha, Tongzi, this is too exciting. I'm dying of laughter! No, I want to promote marriage without a dowry in Bailan Village!" Nan Rongxi laughed so hard that she fell backwards. The excitement in her heart was beyond words.

The system responded: [This is a good idea. They will listen to you anyway! ]

Nan Rongxi made a prompt decision and issued the first village rule since she became the village chief: the bride price cannot be higher than one tael, and marriage must be based on the principle of mutual consent. Once this village rule was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in Bailan Village.

The villagers were talking about it. Some expressed support, believing that it was care and respect for young people; others expressed reservations, worrying that such regulations would affect the village's traditions and customs.

However, they fully accepted what Nan Rongxi proposed. After all, Nan Rongxi was their God of Wealth.

Nan Rongxi actively organized various activities to promote the concept of marrying without a dowry and guide the villagers to establish a correct view of marriage and love. She also joined forces with the elders and wise men in the village to discuss how to better implement this village rule and ensure that it can really take root.

This village rule makes many young people in Bailan Village admire Nan Rongxi extremely.

Late at night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling every inch of land in the Lan Village.

In this quiet village, a tired figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the village. She was a female general, wearing a tattered military uniform, her face full of fatigue.

She dragged her heavy steps and moved forward with difficulty, as if every step consumed her great strength. Finally, her body could no longer support her and she collapsed at the entrance of the village.

At this time, Aunt Zhang came back from outside and found the general lying on the ground. She hurried forward to check on her. She was pale and breathing weakly, obviously exhausted.

Aunt Zhang San did not dare to delay and immediately helped the woman up. She called a few villagers for help and together they carried the woman back to her home.

After settling the female general, Aunt Zhang carefully observed her military uniform and suddenly found that this uniform was exactly the same as the one Nan Rongxi wore at the beginning.

Aunt Zhang was shocked, and she immediately decided to tell Nan Rongxi the news. She hurriedly left home and rushed to Nan Rongxi's residence.

Soon, Aunt Zhang San came to Nan Rongxi's residence and told her everything about the female general.

"Aunt Zhang, go back and take good care of this female soldier. I'll go see her tomorrow morning!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang left.

Nan Rongxi wanted to find out more about this female general through the system: [Tongzi Tongzi, what is the situation of this female general? Can you tell me about it? ]

System: [Xizi, Xizi, this female general also has a story! Let me tell you in detail! ]

[This female general is called Youyue. She is a rare talent, but her life story is too tragic! ]
