After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

Nan Rongxi stepped into the room lightly, and her eyes instantly fell on Youyue who was lying quietly on the bed. She slowly approached, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "You are Miss Youyue, right? I heard Aunt Zhang talk about you, but I didn't expect you to appear here."

Aunt Zhang: I just found out her name is Youyue. It seems that you, the village chief, are really good at predicting things! It is possible that they know each other. I better run away first!

She tactfully left the room, leaving Nan Rongxi and Youyue alone.

Youyue looked at Nan Rongxi's familiar and friendly face, and an indescribable excitement surged in her heart. She struggled to sit up and saluted Nan Rongxi respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Master Nan Rong, I am Youyue, the vanguard of the Great Zhou Cavalry."

Nan Rongxi waved her hand gently and said softly, "Youyue, you are injured, so there is no need to be polite. Now the Northern Qi army is densely packed outside Yunzhou City, and we cannot return for the time being. It is better to rest here and wait for the opportunity."

Youyue nodded, and her gratitude towards Nan Rongxi deepened. She knew that it was a blessing to meet her idol in this strange place.

Nan Rongxi sat by the bed and chatted with Youyue about family matters. She asked about Youyue's injuries and whether she needed a doctor to come and treat her.

Youyue shook her head, saying that she was only slightly injured and would be able to recover after resting for a while.

Nan Rongxi asked knowingly, "Miss Youyue, why are you here? Do you have a mission?"

Youyue was silent for a while, as if recalling the past. She sighed softly and said, "Actually, I was following the charge of General Chi. I was attacked and fainted during the battle with the Northern Qi army. I got up and walked here."

Nan Rongxi heard this and continued, "Miss Youyue, you are truly a warrior of the Great Zhou! Why don't you be a village assistant here and help me from time to time?"

When Youyue heard this, her eyes lit up. Wouldn't this mean she could be with her idol every day!

Youyue smiled slightly and said, "Master Nanrong, thank you for your praise. I am willing to be your assistant."

Nan Rongxi was delighted when she heard this. She knew that Youyue was not only skilled in martial arts, but also smart and capable. If she could stay by her side as an assistant, she would be completely defeated. So, she continued, "Miss Youyue, I am very happy that you agreed. I believe in your ability and you will be able to do the job of village assistant. You can rest assured and recuperate. After your injury is healed, we will discuss village affairs together."

Youyue was even more excited when she heard Nan Rongxi's affirmation and expectation. She knew that it was a rare opportunity for her to stay in this village and work with Nan Rongxi. She smiled and said, "Master Nan Rong, don't worry, I will recover from my injuries as soon as possible and contribute my strength to the village."

"Youyue, then you should have a good rest. Come find me when you are better!"

After Nan Rongxi finished speaking, she left Aunt Zhang's house and went back to her office to drink tea.

Nan Rongxi had just stepped into the office door when she saw Aunt Kong rushing in with her daughter-in-law, followed closely by Aunt Kong's husband and son. Aunt Kong's face was full of dissatisfaction and anger, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances.

Seeing Nan Rongxi, Aunt Kong seemed to have found someone to talk to. She sat on the ground, slapped her hands on the ground, and complained loudly: "Village Chief Nanrong, you are the elder of the village, please judge for me! You said that my son got married and has been married for eight years, but my daughter-in-law has not laid an egg? As a mother-in-law, I look forward to having a grandson or granddaughter every day, and I am so miserable! I told them that they should just get a divorce, but they refused. Don’t you think it’s infuriating?"

Nan Rongxi frowned and looked at Aunt Kong who was sitting on the ground and making a scene. She knew in her heart that this was another family affair in the village.

Aunt Kong's temper is typical of a rural woman, who only wants to have grandchildren. However, she also knows that marriage is not something that can be taken lightly.

She turned to look at Aunt Kong's daughter-in-law, only to see her standing aside with her head down, tears welling up in her eyes. Nan Rongxi sighed in her heart, this is another poor woman oppressed by her mother-in-law.

Nan Rongxi cleared her throat and said, "Aunt Kong, don't get excited. How can you easily get divorced just because you don't have children? This is not good for both of your families. I know you want a grandson, but you can't force it. Your daughter-in-law is also a person, she has her own difficulties and ideas. How about this, let's sit down and talk it out and see if we can find a solution."

Aunt Kong was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing Nan Rongxi's words, but she also knew that Nan Rongxi was the village chief and she had to listen to her words. So she wiped her tears and stood up from the ground.

Aunt Kong's husband, son, and daughter-in-law also stood by with helpless looks on their faces.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, Tongzi, I always feel like there are a lot of melons here, can I have some? ]

System: [There is a small melon inside. I’ll give it to you to eat! ]

When Aunt Kong and her family of four heard the conversation between Nan Rongxi and the system, they pricked up their ears instantly, with expressions of curiosity and confusion on their faces. They looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and expectations.

The system continued: [In fact, the reason why Aunt Kong's son can't have children is not his wife's problem, but his own problem. ]

This sentence was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the hearts of Aunt Kong's family. They stared at Nan Rongxi with wide eyes in disbelief. Aunt Kong opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

Aunt Kong and her family looked at each other with mixed feelings. They had never thought that the root of the problem was actually their son. This made them feel shocked and guilty.

Nan Rongxi didn't pay attention to their reactions: [Tongzi, this is too amazing, really, they actually wronged their daughter-in-law like this! This family is really going too far! Tongzi, let me ask you a question, is there any hope for Aunt Kong's son? ]

System: [Ahem… I’m afraid this won’t work! ]

Aunt Kong looked pale, her son looked shocked, and her daughter-in-law kept her head down and said nothing, as if she was silently enduring it all.

Nan Rongxi took a deep breath and looked at Aunt Kong and her family. She seemed to feel that everyone's condition was quite different from before. "I calculated with my fingers, and I'm afraid the problem is with your son."

Aunt Kong finally came to her senses and asked in a trembling voice: "Village Chief, I...I know! I always thought it was my wife's problem..."
