Return to the backyard of the county government office.

Aunt Qu, who was sitting opposite, wiped her tears and looked at her daughter with a less resentful look in her eyes: "The old county magistrate can finally hold a funeral! Poor brother of yours, we can only secretly recite the sutras for his soul-rebirth!"

The eldest lady nodded, her eyes red and swollen, and she choked up and said, "It's not easy for us to get to this point!"

The second uncle sighed and said, "Fortunately, we don't have to be so scared anymore. Last month, General Cheng from Xiguanying sent someone to call the old county magistrate over, and we almost got caught."

Speaking of Xiguan Camp, Yu Jiuer suddenly remembered to ask, "By the way, did General Cheng of Xiguan Camp release the serving civilians?"

The emperor's decree should have arrived before her.

The second uncle jumped up in surprise when he heard this: "What did you say? Are you saying that the emperor has exempted the people of Yinshan from military service?"

"You're serious!" The eldest lady was also a little excited.

Yu Jiuer nodded and explained what happened in the Jinluan Palace. At the end, she said with regret: "It's a pity that the Yinshan Contract cannot be abolished for the time being. The next county magistrate must be someone who passed the palace examination!"

Everyone looked incredulous after hearing this.

The eldest sister burst into tears of joy: "Jiu'er, you are already amazing! Grandfather and father's lifelong wish is to make the people of Yinshan no longer have to serve in the army, but they never dared to mention it because of the Yinshan Contract. You actually fulfilled their long-cherished wish?"

Yu Jiuer felt a little embarrassed to be complimented by the family members whom she once looked down upon.

Her character was gradually cleared up, and her efforts finally paid off!

"By the way, the exemption of Yinshan people from military service is conditional. The emperor only gives us one year. If tax revenue, population and people's living standards cannot be improved, we will still have to continue serving!"

Yu Jiuer's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on us!

"This, this is easier said than done. Although the labor force will increase after the return of two thousand people, they still need to eat and drink, and they have to pay head tax and other miscellaneous taxes! After paying them, what will be left to improve their living standards?" The eldest lady's heart was gripped again.

Yu Jiuer patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with it! Just call everyone back for me and we can take action!"

"But General Cheng didn't release us!" said the second uncle, stamping his feet.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiuer stood up angrily: "How can he be so shameless! This is an imperial decree! How dare he disobey it?"

Perhaps she was too excited, she felt dizzy, then her eyes went dark and she collapsed in the chair.

Everyone panicked and shouted hurriedly: "Doctor Liu, come quickly! The eldest master has fainted——"

Doctor Liu arrived very quickly. After taking the pulse, a strange expression appeared on his face: "Miss Nine, is this... a pregnancy pulse?"

"What?" The female soldiers around jumped in surprise.

"I checked it three times and confirmed it's a pregnancy pulse!"

The eldest lady's face was gloomy: "Yutao, Cheng'an, the two of you, get in here!"

When the two entered the room and saw that everyone looked solemn, they bowed nervously.

"The Ninth Miss is pregnant! Tell me! What's going on?"

Yu Tao was also shocked when she heard this, and said with trembling lips: "Before she came back, the Ninth Miss was snatched away by Princess Qingyang, but Princess Qingyang is a woman... This shouldn't be possible!"

Cheng An was also confused. When he met everyone's sharp eyes, he cried and said, "I don't know either!"

Yu Jiuer slowly woke up and knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell the truth: "It's Prince Jing's child!"

These words were like a bolt of thunder, striking everyone to pieces!

Yu Jiuer told everything that happened that night.

Aunt Qu was so panicked that she was spinning around in circles: "What should I do? I have to abort the baby right away!"

Yu Jiuer bit her lip and felt annoyed. She had been on the road for two months, but she was so careless that she forgot about menstruation? Otherwise, she would never let this matter be exposed.

The steady Yu Tao said weakly, "The Ninth Miss has been betrothed to Prince Jing, so they have to get married eventually. It won't be a problem if you have a child before getting married, right?"

"What? A marriage?"

The second uncle had not entered the house to avoid suspicion, but at this moment he rushed in anxiously, not caring about the rules. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"What should we do now? Jiu'er is marrying Prince Jing, so who will impersonate Wushuang? What about the county magistrate? What about the common people? Jiu'er, you are going to poke a hole in the sky!"

Yu Jiuer resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Wasn't it just that she slept with a prince and got pregnant with a dragon? Was it necessary to be so anxious and angry?

The eldest sister said with regret: "In this case, I'm afraid we can't keep this child!"

"No! This child must not be aborted!" The eldest lady thought about it and paced back and forth excitedly, "This is Prince Jing's seed! Prince Jing is a dragon seed. If we also have a dragon seed in Yinshan County, do you know what this means?"

Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.

The second uncle seemed to have suddenly figured it out: "God help me Yinshan! Jiuer, after a few days, Prince Jing will arrive in Yinshan County, you can go and sleep with him, but first make sure the child is safe! This child must stay."

Yu Jiuer: "......"

Sleep again?

Did the ancients also play like this?

The female soldiers had different thoughts, and then nodded in unison: "Let's do it!"

Yu Jiuer held her forehead with her hand: "How can a living person sleep so well?"

Prince Jing is now the emperor's abandoned son. Who knows, he might rebel someday. Wouldn't her entire clan suffer?

What's more, she raped him. If he found out...it would be a ticking time bomb. And she slept with him?

Does she think her head is too strong?

"You can't have your cake and eat it too. If Wushuang gives birth to Jiuer, she will die! Before Prince Jing arrives, announce to the public that Jiuer fell into the water and died. The marriage will no longer exist!"

The eldest sister asked: "Will this anger Prince Jing?"

Yu Jiuer sneered: "A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. How can a poor prince like him have the nerve to embarrass the local officials? When the time comes, we will fight back with soldiers and cover up the water with earth!"

She touched her belly and added, "As for the child, I will keep it!"

She was an orphan in her previous life, and was helpless until her death. In this life, she dressed as a man and probably would never get married and have children. Therefore, it was so precious that God sent her a child who was related to her by blood at this time!

But... seeing everyone's expressions, Yu Jiuer asked worriedly, "Are you planning to threaten the emperor and order the princes?"

The eldest lady said: "We don't have the guts! We just want to keep a dragon seed by our side as a talisman."

The second uncle's urgent voice came: "Besides, the royal dragon seed must be extremely smart. You can't pretend to be a man for your whole life? Train him and you will be free!"

The female soldiers nodded in unison: "Yes, yes, yes!"

These people now have only one word for her: Submission!

Aunt Qu's legs were shaking as she said, "How can we conceal this from the world? Everything Jiu'er did is a heinous crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of her clan!"

"I've already cheated on you, and I've slept with you, so giving birth to a child won't be a big deal!" Yu Jiuer thought for a moment, and then said, "Just pretend to be sick and stay home when your belly gets bigger!"

The second uncle interrupted hurriedly: "There is another tricky thing, which is that we have to go to Liangzhou to report on our work every six months."

Yu Jiuer said calmly, "I will report to Liangzhou in half a year. I will claim to be ill, so my second uncle will go in my place. The most urgent thing now is to give the child an identity. We can't let him be an illegal resident, right?"

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, "Why not give it to one of your sisters?"

"No, I want to keep the child by my side and teach him personally! So, mother, I want to get married! Find a woman who knows me well and pretends to marry me, so that the child can continue to be my child with a clear conscience." Yu Jiuer's eyes were firm, and she had thought of a way out.

Everyone was in a state of confusion. They dared not even think of such a rebellious and bold idea.

Everyone was still in shock when Yu Jiuer said, "But this will wrong that woman. She will probably have to be a widow for the rest of her life. Even if she divorces in the future, she may not be able to get married!"

"There is no better way, let's do it this way!" The eldest lady made the decision and looked up at her eldest daughter and said, "Xin'er, I remember your husband's family has a 19-year-old niece who is still unmarried because of a burn on her face. I'm afraid she will never get married in this life. I saw her last year. She is a good child. Go ask her."

The eldest sister bowed and said, "Mom, there's no need to ask. She's suffering from rumors at home, and even her family members look down on her. Even if it's fake, marrying Wushuang will save her from suffering. She will definitely agree!"

"This is a serious matter, so we should go and ask! After it's settled, we have to tell her Jiu'er's identity and ask her to keep it a secret!"

"Yes!"
