I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

He looked at Liu Yueru with burning eyes and asked, "How long is some time? A year or half a year, or a lifetime?"

Liu Yueru didn't know how to answer, so she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Xie Jingrui smiled bitterly; "In the final analysis, you have never taken me to heart."

The words fell.

Xie Jingrui walked out the door dejectedly.

Liu Yueru bit her lip and wanted to explain something, but in the end she gritted her teeth and held back.

Looking at Xie Jingrui walking further and further away, a mist rose in Liu Yueru's eyes.

They are now from two different worlds. Even if they have secret feelings for each other, the emperor will not agree to their marriage.

She had already put in a lot of effort in dealing with Song Nanzhi, and she didn't want to live that kind of intrigue-filled life anymore.

Liu Yueru tightened her grip until Xie Jingrui's figure completely disappeared from her sight, and then her tears began to flow uncontrollably.

It’s not like she hadn’t thought about living a family of four with Xie Jingrui.

But when the emperor told Xie Jingrui that he intended to send her to the northern border as a peace envoy, Liu Yueru knew that there was no possibility for her and Xie Jingrui to be together in this life.

Xie Jingrui hid in the dark and watched Liu Yueru crying, his heart aching.

The secret guard beside him suddenly thought of something and said something into Xie Jingrui's ear.

Xie Jingrui's eyes suddenly lit up. He threw a purse to the secret guard and turned away.

The story of Old Chen and Chen Mingyuan soon spread among the farmers, but Old Chen and Chen Mingyuan had witnessed the ruthlessness of the secret guards around Liu Yueru, so they did not dare to tell them what happened that day.

Liu Yueru had no time to take care of those things. After two days of harvesting the grain in the fields, more than half of it had not yet been stored in the cellar.

Many farmers in Xicheng have already harvested their wheat.

Uncle Fu invited all the scattered people to come and help collect the grain.

As time was getting closer, Liu Yue's heart felt more and more anxious.

After the two little guys were rescued from the cave that day, Xie Jingrui returned to the cave. The people hiding in the cave had disappeared, although the locusts in the cave in the back mountain of Wanfu Temple had all been dealt with.

There are other places where locusts have not been found.

Since that day, those people from the Northern Border seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no trace of them was left in Kyoto at all.

Liu Yueru couldn't believe that those people would give up so easily after preparing for so long.

All the hibernation is just to better carry out their plans.

She waved to Uncle Fu who was moving among the crowd.

Uncle Fu was sweating profusely. He quickly came to Liu Yueru and asked, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Can we move all the food in there back into the cellar one day?" Liu Yueru asked with a frown.

Uncle Fu looked around and saw that there was probably only one third of the grain left to be harvested. The people in the surrounding area who had stored their own grain were also joining in one after another. It would be barely feasible if they dug under the light of a lamp at night.

"I will do my best," replied Uncle Fu.

Then he added: "We just need to prepare a lamp. The old slave will lead the young farmers to continue digging at night with the lamp."

Liu Yueru nodded slightly.

When she looked up, she saw Zhang Liang had come to her field to help dig sweet potatoes.

at this time.

There was a woman beside Zhang Liang, who poured a bowl of tea and handed it to him.

With a sweet smile, she urged Zhang Liang, "Brother Zhang, the weather is hot, drink more water."

Perhaps feeling that our gazes were too intense, Zhang Liang did not take the other person's bowl.

He turned to look at Ye Tao not far away and saw her looking at him with an unhappy expression.

Zhang Liang pushed the bowl towards the woman and said calmly, "I'm not thirsty. Give it to others."

The woman also saw Zhang Liang looking in the direction of Ye Tao. They were from the same village, and she thought she was more suitable for Zhang Liang than Ye Tao.

Seeing Ye Tao coming towards them, the woman's eyes showed a hint of provocation. She held the bowl and said to Zhang Liang in a delicate voice, "Drink something even if you are not thirsty. Drink it quickly. My hands are hurting from holding it..."

While speaking, she kept leaning towards Zhang Liang.

There was a hint of anger in Ye Tao's eyes. She had always been straightforward. After getting Liu Yueru's consent, she came directly to Zhang Liang in anger.

He snatched the bowl from the woman's hand and gulped down the tea in the bowl.

The woman was stunned for a long while, then she pointed at Ye Tao angrily and said, "You, you, how can you be so rude? This is the drink I gave to Brother Zhang, why are you grabbing other people's water right away?"

Ye Tao's scrutinizing gaze fell on the woman. Her hair was simply tied up, her skin was dark yellow and rough, and there were many red pimples on her face. Her waist was slender and her figure was well-proportioned, but she was looking at him with some resentment in her eyes.

Ye Tao replied bluntly: "Isn't your water for people to drink? I'm thirsty, so I drink it. Brother Zhang just said that he wouldn't drink it if he wasn't thirsty. Also, why are you, an unmarried woman, clinging to a man? I invited you here to help with work and earn wages, not to talk about love. If you want to get married, you should find a matchmaker to find you a good match."

"Why are you relying on others? If you don't want to work, then don't delay others' work. Also, what are those hands of yours? Are they so precious? Does carrying a bowl of tea make your hands hurt?"

Ye Tao said to Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, this person is powerless and disturbs others. Pay her half-day wages and let her go back to dream of getting married."

The woman was so embarrassed by what Ye Tao said that she hesitated for a long time: "You, you, don't think I don't know that you like Brother Zhang. You just want to send me away because you see that I am close to Brother Zhang. We are from the same village. It's useless to send me away now. I can still see him every day when I go back."

As the woman spoke, a smug look appeared on her face. She raised her chin slightly towards Ye Tao, her eyes full of provocation.

After Uncle Fu settled the woman's wages, he let her leave.

Ye Tao stood where she was and put the bowl aside.

Zhang Liang picked up the bowl again and called to Ye Tao who was about to leave: "Miss Ye Tao, can you give me some tea? I'm thirsty."

Ye Tao paused.

He turned around and took the bowl from his hand, then without saying a word, picked up the kettle and poured a large bowl for Zhang Liang.

With a blushing cheek, he handed the tea in his hand to her.

Liu Yueru watched this scene from afar and whispered to Mother Yan beside her, "Mother Yan, what do you think about marrying Ye Tao to Zhang Liang?"

Mother Yan has been keeping an eye on Zhang Liang for a while. "My dear, he seems to be a responsible man. But someone just reported back what you asked me to find out. Zhang Liang already has a wife!"
